Chapter 187 Earthquake

The next morning, the soft sunlight filtered through the layers of branches and leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the roof of the brick house, draping this simple yet cozy home in a warm, golden veil.

In the yard, the animals strolled leisurely, with Big Black occasionally rubbing its horns against Lightning, while Lightning quietly ate its hay, content as if it were just an ordinary yet beautiful day.

Suddenly, Big Black pricked up its ears, its fur stood on end, and it let out a low growl, followed by a burst of barking.

The big horn pawed at the ground restlessly, neighing and pounding its hooves on the ground.

Lightning also kicked its limbs restlessly, its once docile eyes now filled with fear.

At that moment, Lu Fan was still sound asleep when the sudden noise pulled him out of his slumber.

He suddenly sat up on the kang (a heated brick bed) and strode to the door.

Big Black and Big Horn were acting very strangely, their eyes filled with fear and unease, as if warning of impending danger.

An earthquake struck deep in the wilderness; aftershocks are imminent.

Before he could react, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly without warning.

At first, there was only a very slight tremor, as if an invisible hand was gently shaking the earth, but this slight tremor suddenly intensified in an instant.

"Wow!"

Lu Fan's face turned deathly pale instantly. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and rushed into the house, picked up An Lan, and ran wildly towards the open space outside.

An Lan was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that her face turned pale. She tightly hugged Lu Fan's neck with both hands, her body trembling slightly.

As Lu Fan ran at full speed, he shouted reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

His voice was firm and powerful, conveying a sense of reassurance amidst the violent vibrations and noise.

Live broadcast room.

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?"

"Fortunately, Lu Fan reacted quickly."

"However, the magnitude doesn't look too big."

"Don't run during a small earthquake, but you can't run during a big one. Remember that."

After running to a safe area, An Lan nervously stared at the brick house not far away, barely daring to breathe, fearing that the house would collapse in the earthquake at any moment.

She looked up and saw that Lu Fan's face was pale, as if he had remembered something, and he held her tightly in his arms.

An Lan quickly struggled to get down and anxiously asked, "Lu Fan, what happened to you? Are you hurt?"

Lu Fan snapped out of his daze and shook his head.

"No, it's just that the house was newly built and then the earthquake happened, so I'm a little worried."

Fortunately, the tremors did not last long; just as suddenly as they came, the aftershocks quickly stopped.

The surroundings gradually returned to calm, with only Big Black and Big Horn occasionally letting out low growls, seemingly still shaken by the terrifying scene just now.

Lu Fan and An Lan carefully returned to the brick house and began to inspect it thoroughly.

Fortunately, it was just an aftershock. Although the house shook slightly, the structure remained stable, and some items were shaken to the ground.

"It seems our house is of good quality and has withstood the test." Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on his face.

An Lan nodded, the fear in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by the relief of surviving a disaster.

After finishing a simple breakfast, Lu Fan was still preoccupied with one question: What exactly happened during this earthquake? What was going on deep in the wilderness?

He became increasingly uneasy and decided to go to the place where the earthquake occurred to find out.

He told An Lan his thoughts. Although An Lan was full of worries, she understood Lu Fan's decision and ultimately chose to support him.

"You must be careful. I'll be waiting for you to come home." An Lan held Lu Fan's hand tightly, her eyes full of concern.

Lu Fan gently stroked An Lan's hair and said tenderly, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible. Take good care of yourself at home. If anything happens, stay inside and don't wander around."

After preparing the necessary tools and weapons, Lu Fan and Dahei embarked on their journey into the depths of the wilderness.

They proceeded cautiously along the way, constantly keeping an eye on their surroundings.

The once familiar wilderness now appeared exceptionally eerie and terrifying. The trees swayed in the breeze, rustling as if telling of unknown dangers.

As Lu Fan ventured deeper into the wilderness, he found the traces left by the earthquake becoming increasingly clear.

Cracks appeared on the ground, and in some places, the ground even collapsed, forming pits of varying sizes.

Many trees along the roadside were also uprooted and lay scattered on the ground, blocking their way.

Lu Fan had to spend some time clearing a passage.

After walking for a long time, Lu Fan finally arrived at the epicenter of the earthquake.

The sight before him shocked him. The once flat ground was now riddled with holes, as if it had been trampled by an enormous monster.

In a relatively open area, Lu Fan discovered a huge, deep pit.

The rocks on the pit walls have strange textures, as if they were torn apart by some unimaginably powerful force.

He cautiously approached the pit, carefully observing everything around him.

Suddenly, he noticed that black liquid was oozing out from the crack in the ground.

[Oil vein discovered, with oil reserves of 200 million tons]

"oil?!"

Lu Fan's eyes widened instantly, and he was completely stunned.

Black crude oil was seen gushing out continuously, and a pungent smell quickly filled the air.

His heart suddenly raced, his brain raced, and he realized that this was a groundbreaking discovery that could change the course of the world.

"Big Black, we've found something incredible!" Lu Fan shouted excitedly to Big Black beside him.

Big Black seemed to sense its master's excitement, wagging its tail happily and circling around Lu Fan.

Lu Fan squatted down and carefully observed the oil that was constantly gushing out.

The oil flowed slowly along the cracks in the ground, pooling into a small black oil puddle in the low-lying area.

He was well aware of the value of oil; in modern society, it is the lifeblood of industry and a vital support for economic development.

The significance of such a large amount of oil appearing today is immeasurable.

He carefully took some oil samples and put them into the bamboo tube he carried with him.

We plan to take it back for more detailed research.

He then carefully surveyed the area around the pit and where oil was gushing out, trying to determine the approximate extent of the oil vein.

As he explored, he discovered that the area where the oil was seeping out was becoming increasingly wider, which meant that the amount of oil contained beneath was extremely considerable.

"This is probably a super oil field!" Lu Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself, a surge of uncontrollable excitement welling up inside him.

Just as Lu Fan figured out the direction of the ore vein, the cold sound of machinery rang out.

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.

[Oil ore (content 200 million tons)*]

The live stream at this moment.

"???"

"Huh? What's going on? It's so early in the morning."

"Am I seeing things?"

After a while, the audience realized what was happening.

"Holy crap, ten thousand oil ore deposits? That's like taking off in a heartbeat."

"Awesome! In that case, China would now be the country with the world's largest oil reserves."

"Haha, we'll become a major oil exporter right away! Won't that make us rich?!"

"Wow, Lu Fan is amazing! He can even find oil."
