Xiao Jin struggled for over a decade in the apocalypse before perishing with the Zombie King. To her surprise, she woke up, reborn into a world without zombies.
Before she could even bother w...
The loess soil churned, and stones of all sizes crashed down from the mountain, while mud and water flowed freely, burying large numbers of trees in an instant.
Xiang the leader froze for a moment, then his expression changed drastically: "Run! Grab your backpacks, forget everything else, and run with me!"
After saying that, Xiang grabbed the backpack on his side and ran frantically into the distance without even putting on a raincoat.
Those around him hadn't reacted yet; their pale faces, filled with despair and fear, stared at the scene in the distance. It wasn't until he ran towards their leader that they seemed to be jolted awake.
The group was in complete chaos. Some followed orders, grabbed their backpacks, and went after them, while others ran off without a second thought.
The cries and screams, the people who had fallen behind, the people who had run in the wrong direction, and the people who were so frightened that their legs went weak and their minds went blank, and they simply collapsed to the ground.
At this point, no one has time to care about others. With landslides and mudslides, the most important thing is to save your own life!
...
As soon as the rocks began to fall, Xiao Jin noticed the unusual situation on the mountain thanks to her keen hearing.
Her expression turned serious, and she quickly put everything in her hand back into her spatial storage. She then put on her raincoat and ran off in one direction.
With the rain obscuring her vision, Xiao Jin kept an eye on the falling rocks above her head while dodging the direction the mudslide was heading.
Just as Xiao Jin nimbly leaped onto a rock, a cracking sound came from behind him. Turning around, he saw that the ground had split open with a half-meter-wide fissure, and clods of earth were frantically sinking into the center.
Xiao Jin frowned, turned around and quickly searched for a new safe spot. When her gaze fell on a flat, high place, she decisively hid there. At this moment, the tremors that Xiao Jin could feel had lessened considerably, and the rocks on her side were all still in place.
Xiao Jin looked down; the thick, inky night concealed the distant calamity, leaving only a deafening roar in her ears. Her expression was ambiguous in the rain, whether she was sighing or worried...
Meanwhile, Xiang Laoda and his group, who encountered the ground fissure on the other side, were in a very bad state. They did not have Xiao Jin's ability to quickly avoid the area where the landslide had occurred, and many of them had already been injured by falling rocks.
One by one, with blood streaming down their faces, they couldn't see where they were stepping in the darkness, and some even slipped and fell into the crevice.
"Ahhh, help me!" A scream came from behind.
Xiang the boss gritted his teeth, then turned around and ran to the edge of the crevice. He reached out and grabbed the person clinging to the edge of the crevice.
"Grab me, pull hard, quick!"
The man hung on the wall, desperately gripping the rocks above to keep from falling. His fingers were covered in blood because the rocks were slippery. When he saw Boss Xiang, the other man was so excited that tears streamed down his face.
Without him saying anything, the man gripped Boss Xiang's hand tightly, not daring to let go.
With their combined effort, the two finally managed to stand on the ground again before the rolling stone arrived.
"quick!"
There was no time to say more. The leader and his men rushed forward. They couldn't wait any longer; they had to get up the mountain immediately.
Xiao Jin had previously observed that this mudslide was caused by several days of heavy rain, making the mountain unstable, but it was only the peak on the east side of Xitai Mountain. The mountaintop where the hotel was located was still safe. He wondered if this was a special setting of the system.
I might as well take this opportunity and go directly to the hotel.
Xiao Jin dodged rocks and crevices one after another, and unsurprisingly ran into Boss Xiang and his men on their way to the hotel.
Unlike Xiao Jin, who was unharmed, only seven or eight of the twenty or so people in Xiang's group remained. Many of them were empty-handed, clearly having left their supplies at their previous shelter.
They were soaking wet and injured.
After they met, they exchanged a glance, and the eldest brother gave Xiao Jin a bitter smile.
...
The Xitaishan Resort Hotel is located on the top of Xitaishan Mountain and covers a large area. It is said that there is also a natural hot spring pavilion inside.
The mudslide at the foot of the mountain seemed to have ended. Xiao Jin took the lead and climbed up the steps at the front, followed by a group of players who were in a sorry state.
The group shivered as they fought off the hypothermia caused by the downpour and endured the whitening of their wounds from the rain.
Even so, some people still couldn't hold on.
"Hmm!"
After a muffled groan, a man behind him collapsed on the stone steps.
When everyone heard the sound and turned around, they were startled to see a man whose face had turned ashen. They then discovered that a tree branch had somehow gotten stuck in the man's shoulder, presumably when he slipped and fell.
The bloodstains were not visible through the wet, dark clothes. This person was really patient, following them for so long without saying a word!
Upon seeing this, the eldest brother quickly ran over to check, and some people around helped to shield him from the rain, while others used flashlights to provide light.
He gently pulled open the clothes and frowned at the boss.
"Can this... still be saved?" The person next to him looked uncomfortably at the wound that had turned white from being soaked in water.
Xiang reached out and touched the backpack of the leader, but couldn't find what he wanted, so he turned to look at the others.
Seeing this, everyone quickly searched their own bodies, but after a while, their hands were empty, and they all looked back at their leader in confusion.
They left in such a hurry that they only took backpacks filled with food, not to mention that some of them didn't take anything at all, so there was no medicine in their backpacks!
Xiang Da took a deep breath, feeling a bit stifled but not knowing how to vent it. He could only turn his gaze away from the people around him, but his eyes paused for a moment when he caught sight of the slender figure at the top.
Without even thinking, he blurted out, "Brother, do you know if you can help me out?"
Everyone followed their gaze to Xiao Jin, and their eyes lit up when they saw the backpack behind her.
Yeah, maybe he has the medicine!
"Please, he's badly injured. Could you lend us some medicine? We'll pay you back as soon as we find it!" people around shouted.
Xiao Jin heard everything that happened behind her. She paused and turned around.
"Young man, we're all players here, we should help each other out. If you have any medicine, take it out quickly, this is a life at stake!"
Xiang, the eldest brother, was still thinking about how to speak, but he didn't expect that the person next to him had already spoken for him. Upon hearing these words, his face immediately darkened.
Unfortunately, it was dark, so the person who spoke couldn't see Boss Xiang's expression and was still smugly pleased with himself, thinking he was right!
The male student who had been following closely behind Boss Xiang frowned.
"Ha!" Xiao Jin stared at the person who spoke and sneered.
"What kind of attitude is this? Am I wrong?" The man was annoyed by Xiao Jin's reaction, and even more angry that Xiao Jin had embarrassed him in front of everyone.
"Are you even a human from Earth? Everyone has their struggles, what's wrong with you helping out with a small favor!"
"Alright, Shi Yuan, shut up!" Boss Xiang was almost furious.
