This shaking startled us all, and several female colleagues screamed and rushed into the crowd.

Liu Jiaojiao was immediately pulled into Chen Jian's arms.

Xu Wei leaned close to me, her face pale, and whispered, "Brother Sihai, I'm scared. Are we going to die?"

I shook my head, feeling quite uncertain. After all, I had never experienced an earthquake before, let alone one in this desolate wilderness.

"Don't panic, let's stay together. Now listen to my instructions, let's run towards the beach!"

After I shouted, everyone gathered around me.

After I finished counting down, everyone ran like madmen towards the beach outside our woods.

I grabbed Xu Wei with my left hand and pulled Xiao Qiang with my right, all the while calling out Wang Xiaoxiao's name.

We ran almost straight to the edge of the woods, but just as we were about to leave the woods, we suddenly heard a loud thud behind us.

The mother monkey perched on my shoulder was trembling as she held DouDou, constantly letting out trembling roars.

I was terrified and extremely worried, but I absolutely couldn't panic now.

If I panic, Xu Wei and the others will panic even more. My responsibility is not only for myself, but also for the lives of these people.

I absolutely cannot reveal the slightest flaw if I cannot guarantee everyone's safety.

At that moment, I turned around and saw a large, dark mass rushing towards us from behind.

I yelled at Wang Ping, "Quickly move over here! If that's not possible, climb a tree!"

After hearing my shouts, Wang Ping immediately dragged Chen Jian and the others behind the tree roots.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a herd of wild boars rush out first, followed by a pack of wolves.

If it were any other time, those wolves would probably have pounced on us and eaten us by now, but they were clearly in a hurry to escape and didn't have time to pay any attention to us.

Then, even more birds and beasts that we had never seen before in the woods rushed out of the forest like madmen.

This time I am even more certain that this earthquake was definitely not small-scale; otherwise, these wild animals would not have been running so frantically to escape.

I immediately hid nervously behind a tree and looked at the three women following me. I said solemnly, "If things really don't work out in a while, go to the sea. But don't go too deep into the sea, because I'm afraid that if there's an earthquake, it will trigger a tsunami. So you need to hide in an open area. I'll give you guns then."

Xu Wei became anxious after hearing what I said and grabbed my sleeve: "Brother Sihai, what are you going to do?"

"I still need to go back up the mountain to take a look. We have a lot of things there. We should at least be able to salvage as much as we can."

Xiao Qiang frowned when she heard what I said: "Zhao Sihai, are you fucking crazy? In this situation, instead of running for your life, you want to go back to protect those things? What use are those things if you lose your life? Don't be stupid and try to run away. Let's run together, otherwise, I'll go back with you."

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement with my words: "Xiao Qiang is right. I think we should leave quickly in this situation. It's not a good thing to stay here any longer. Chen Jian and the others have already run out. There are wolves outside. Do you want this newlywed couple to die in the mouths of wild animals right now?"

I took a deep breath and looked at our newly renovated campsite, feeling extremely reluctant to leave.

For some reason, a feeling of utter despair suddenly welled up in my mind.

Why do all sorts of things happen every time we're about to settle down in a new place?

But in this situation, it is indeed better to escape first. Wild animals are still constantly emerging from the woods from all directions, and staying in this place is definitely not safe.

Even if they don't want to kill us, we're still bound to get hurt if they charge in and crash into us.

So I immediately grabbed a few women and ran quickly toward the other side of the woods.

When we finally ran out of the woods, we discovered that the entire beach was covered with birds and animals, a truly magnificent sight.

After all, since we arrived on this deserted island, the only animals we've seen are wild boars and wolves, which are large groups of social animals. We've never seen such a grand scene before.

I don't know what the situation is like on the foreigners' side, but if there were an earthquake, the whole island would probably be like that.

Bai Wei and his group got separated from us earlier, and we don't know where they are or if there were any casualties. Anyway, I saw Wang Ping, Chen Jian, and Liu Jiaojiao standing to the side, looking very nervous.

Wang Ping and Chen Jian, both holding guns, surrounded Liu Jiaojiao, seemingly on guard.

Seeing that we had run out, Wang Ping and the others immediately showed joy on their faces, and then quickly rushed towards me.

"Sihai, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Wang Ping excitedly looked us up and down before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"When I came out just now, I felt that this matter might not be safe, so I brought all the bullets I could carry. I should have about forty or fifty rounds left. Even if we encounter some large wild animals, it should be enough. But now there are so many wild animals on this beach. I don't think we can stay here. Let's think of a way to hide somewhere first."

But Liu Jiaojiao shook her head after hearing Wang Ping's words: "That won't do. If there really is an earthquake now, it's not safe for you to hide anywhere. An open space is the best choice. If that doesn't work, let's go to Danshuiliu over there first."

After listening to Liu Jiaojiao's words, I also shook my head and refused.

“No, there must be a lot of wild animals over there. We already know about that place. Even if we go now, we definitely won’t be able to get close to the Danshui River. And can you guarantee there aren’t any wild animals there? Let’s not move now. Let’s stay here. I’ll light a campfire right away. Even if there’s a big earthquake, this area will be flat. We’ll just be stunned. There’s no danger to our lives. The only ones who are in danger are these wild animals. So the three of us men must protect the four of them.”

Chen Jian nodded, and soon they found a relatively open space where there weren't many wild animals gathered and settled the women in.

We then seated the women inside, and quickly gathered some dry branches from the surrounding area. We then built a small campfire, and once the firelight shone, we finally felt a little more at ease.

But before we could even get into formation, the ground shook violently again.
