The women immediately huddled together in fear, and we quickly moved closer to them.

Even our newly lit campfire fell apart due to the vibrations.

Chen Jian, flustered and clumsy, let Wang Ping help him gather the campfires back together.

Many of the embers had gone out, but fortunately the firewood used to build the campfire was very dry, so the fire only flickered and then reignited.

And with this tremor, the animals around us began to move rapidly again.

Chen Jian looked around, then turned to me with a grim expression: "Brother Sihai, I don't think we can stay here any longer. If it's not working out, let's go to the rocks by the sea. Otherwise, if these animals go berserk, there could be a stampede, and that would be no laughing matter!"

I thought of this too, so I nodded and looked at Wang Ping: "Quickly put away these campfires, let's turn them into torches, and run to those big rocks by the sea."

Before I could finish speaking, Wang Ping had already started gathering the firewood. After lighting a few torches, we quickly ran towards the rocks on the beach.

At that moment, the moon on the horizon was suddenly covered by dark clouds, which then attacked menacingly.

Xu Wei's face turned pale. "Oh no, is it going to rain again? Won't all those rice seedlings we've left drying on the mountaintop be doomed?"

I was startled and stood up to look at the sky. I felt that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and even if it didn't rain now, it probably wouldn't be long before it did.

I was extremely worried. If it rained in this situation, it would truly be a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

After all, we have no way to take shelter from the rain in this situation.

My male colleagues are alright, but my female colleagues are a real problem. If they all fall ill, I really don't know how I'll take care of them.

I glanced at Xiao Qiang and the others, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly made a decision.

"You should all take shelter under the big rock in a bit. If the earthquake passes quickly, we'll go back to the treehouse immediately, boil some hot water, and take a hot shower to warm up. If that doesn't work, then we'll be facing a life-or-death decision this time."

Xiao Qiang looked at me, her eyes red, and held my hand tightly: "Sihai, I'm not afraid, and you shouldn't be either. As long as we're together, I don't care whether we live or die."

After saying that, I grabbed Xu Wei tightly. Xu Wei also came close to me and looked at me with red eyes, saying, "Brother Sihai, I believe we will definitely get through this safely!"

“We’re not here to talk about this now. Quickly get over there and hide behind that rock. You can get out of the rain there. I’ll stay here and help you carry the rain. If anything happens and we have to die, I’ll be the one to die first. Don’t be afraid.”

When I heard Wang Ping's words, my heart was filled with both gratitude and worry.

If this kid really gives me his whole heart, and something really happens to him, I won't feel good about it!

Instead, Chen Jian looked at us and sighed, "Hey, let's not talk about so much nonsense. I don't think this earthquake will be too violent, otherwise it would have started shaking by now. And look at those animals, they've all crouched down. These animals are the most sensitive. Look, isn't Dou Ding still sleeping in his mother's arms right now?"

When I looked up, I saw DouDing's mother squatting on the rock, holding DouDing, and DouDing seemed to have really fallen asleep.

After hearing Chen Jian's words, Xiao Qiang finally smiled through her tears and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Alright, alright, let's take a look at the earthquake now. Otherwise, it's not safe to be under the rocks. I think we should be careful. Maybe everything will be alright in a little while."

But before Xiao Qiang could finish speaking, large raindrops were already hitting her.

The rain quickly soaked our clothes, and DouDing and DouDing's mother were terrified.

Dou Ding immediately snuggled into my arms, and I quickly hugged the mother and son. At that moment, Wang Ping took off his clothes and covered me with them.

"Don't let this mother and son suffer any more grievances. After all, they were the ones who found all our fruit. I think we should go find some big leaves to wrap around ourselves, or I'll go back and get some wolf skin. Those things can keep out the rain and keep you warm. They're very practical."

Chen Jian shook his head after hearing Wang Ping's words: "I think we shouldn't split up at this time. After all, none of us know what the situation is like on the mountaintop, and we don't know if there are any wild animals that haven't come out of the woods. Splitting up at this time is definitely not a good idea."

But the campfire couldn't be lit, and the rain was pattering down.

The most important thing is that we still don't know how long this rain will stop.

In this situation, simply sitting and waiting to die is not in my nature, but I also know that Chen Jian is right.

Separating now would be tantamount to suicide.

I glanced at the several women shivering in the night and gritted my teeth.

"You guys should take shelter next to the rock. This rock is very hard, and its base should be buried in the sand. Even if there is an earthquake, there shouldn't be much of a tremor. You just need to observe the situation on the sea. As long as there is no tsunami, everything should be fine."

Xu Wei and the others immediately listened to me and crawled under the rocks. However, the sand under the rocks had already been eroded by the rain. Fortunately, they no longer had to feel the cold of the strong wind blowing on them.

I also took off my clothes and covered these women with them. They surrounded them, hugging DouDing and the mother monkey. The scene was truly horrific.

This situation continued throughout the night, with the earthquake constantly shaking the surrounding environment. Even in a grove of trees not far from us, two trees fell down.

The wild beasts scattered in fright, but the three of us dared not move. We stood straight in front of these women, holding our guns, to shield them from the wind and rain.

It wasn't until the sun had risen the next day and the rain had finally stopped that the earthquake seemed to finally disappear.

Because the wild animals that had been circling the open area had all returned to the woods, they all felt that everything was alright, and it seemed that this disaster was completely over.

I'm just extremely worried right now, wondering what's going on at our camp.

If the house collapses, I'm afraid I'll never have the courage or confidence to rebuild it.

The women had been soaked all night and now looked listless.

Yesterday, the three of us, including Wang Ping, didn't even dare to sit down. We were constantly on guard against the wild animals around us, and now we're all completely exhausted.

But now we have to get back to the mountaintop. Even if all the trees have fallen, there's still some food inside to fill our stomachs first...
