Chapter 316: The Grievous Ji Changqing
Ji Changqing could foresee He Rui's reaction after knowing there was an earthquake.
This is what makes him different from others.
Idiots are compassionate.
And I don't care about the misfortune of others.
Wherever people gather within a domain, there is filth and dirt.
Sometimes when he saw someone's bad behavior was too annoying, he would take action to stop it.
But his own emotions will not be affected by the experiences of others.
He has no sympathy for others.
Even if someone died in front of him, he would not feel any psychological burden.
After all, death has become a very common thing after a disaster.
Even in the shelters, people die every day in various ways: freezing to death, starving to death, cancer, heat stroke, murder, cannibalism...
Based on his life experience.
If you are in trouble, it is normal not to receive help from others without any ulterior motives.
If someone really offers a helping hand, one should consider the hidden calculations and murderous intentions behind the other party.
Good people will be screened out early in the first two years.
The only ones left are selfish people.
Therefore, He Rui's warm qualities of altruism, which are quite rare even in a peaceful society before the disaster, such as integrity, kindness, tolerance, generosity, and empathy, appear particularly dazzling and make him yearn for it.
If I were to suddenly teleport away, I would definitely be asked the reason by some idiot.
If this idiot knew about the earthquake, he would definitely fall back into the same state of being unable to do anything and blaming himself.
He couldn't empathize with this kind of self-punishment and sadness for others mentality.
This is also the origin of secretly giving each other nicknames.
But even though he didn't understand, he didn't want to see the fool sad.
So, should he lie and deceive the other party?
Ji Changqing noticed that abnormalities occurred not only underground, but also in a large area on the ground within the domain.
The color of the air became very strange, and inconspicuous lights of various colors were quickly forming.
There is no time to lose. There is no way to delay any longer. We must move immediately and protect He Rui.
He planned to teleport the entire RV back to the vicinity of Xixia Manor.
But just before he could leave with his people and car, He Rui, who was driving, spoke first.
"Huh? Brother Ji, it seems like there's danger."
Ji Changqing was stunned and frowned slightly, remembering that the thing had the ability to predict danger.
"Let's get out of here first," he said.
"Don't!" He Rui parked the car on the side of the road, quickly took out a notebook and pen from his backpack, and began to communicate with the background music. "Don't play dumb with me. I know you can talk. Tell me what's wrong."
He Rui wrote quickly on the notebook, muttering the numbers, "0, 9, 6, 6...7201...earthquake...earthquake?!?! Is there going to be an earthquake?!"
He suddenly looked up and looked at Ji Changqing who was sitting in the passenger seat next to him.
The other party sighed softly and nodded with a unhappy expression.
"ah!?
Is it the kind of earthquake that can wipe out an entire shelter if one person dies? Brother Ji, did you notice something just now? I was wondering why your expression didn’t seem right…”
Ji Changqing subconsciously wanted to explain, "I didn't, didn't mean to hide it from you, I just..." He couldn't say the rest of the words.
He really wanted to hide it.
Still want to quibble?
He Rui noticed that his brother Ji's expression was not right, so he patted him on the shoulder and said to him quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. We are friends, there's no need to hide anything. You didn't say it just now because you were not sure about the situation, or maybe it was for my own good. It's okay, don't think too much, I'll talk to BGM first."
"....." Ji Changqing pursed his lips and looked at the person with a serious expression who was busy taking out a pen to continue communicating. He felt relieved but also inexplicably a little aggrieved.
"Hey BGM, how destructive was this earthquake? How widespread was it? Tell me!"
He Rui waited for a while, then exploded when he heard the answer, "Don't know? How could you not know?! I don't believe you don't know."
As if to atone for his mistake, Ji Changqing took the initiative to speak, "The area affected by this earthquake is conservatively estimated to be at least hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Although the magnitude of the earthquake is unknown, the earthquake after the disaster is almost certainly enough to destroy a city."
He Rui heard this and turned to look at the other party stiffly, and the pen in his hand dropped. "...It's over, this is not..."
Even if he and Brother Ji didn't leave, they would definitely be fine, but for the people in this area, if they encountered this kind of earthquake...
There is no escape...
I am dying...
He was just thinking about whether he could blackmail BGM and ask this guy to find a way to spread the news of the earthquake to everyone in the area.
After all, you can play songs to countless people without any media.
There must be a way to convey the message.
But an earthquake of this magnitude affects too large an area.
According to what his brother Ji said before, the wreckage of the city after the earthquake would even leave a huge bottomless chasm on the ground that was big enough to swallow up an entire shelter. Even if he could notify others to take shelter, it would only be a warning before these people die, and it would not change anything.
He Rui's face turned ugly.
Continue to communicate and negotiate with BGM.
You have to give it a try after all. Even if you just know the news and stand in an open place on the flat ground in advance, maybe you can have a better chance of survival. Every life counts.
He Rui used a rare, unyielding tone, "BGM! You must let my words spread, so that everyone in the earthquake zone can hear my voice!"
"...Why can't I? If music can be transmitted, why can't my voice? What kind of authority do you have? Are you kidding me? What's the principle behind your operation?!"
He Rui was so angry when he heard the telegraph code of "rejection" repeating over and over in his mind that his fists clenched and made a crackling sound.
His voice turned cold, and he rarely showed any anger. He threatened BGM, "BGM, if you continue to treat me perfunctorily, I will not let you off easily. Do you believe that I will kill you even if it means I perish with you? I am not kidding..."
"He Rui!" The person next to him suddenly interrupted him in a bad tone.
The man also grabbed my wrist with such force that it hurt.
"Ah?" He Rui's momentum was instantly extinguished. His thoughts were interrupted by his brother Ji, and his expression was a little confused.
"Don't say such things..." Ji Changqing frowned and stared into He Rui's eyes, speaking seriously word by word.
Complex emotions surged in his eyes, and the corners of his lips formed an arc of grievance.
He Rui was confused.
I don't understand why the background music, which is just for scaring people, actually scared his brother Ji.
However, looking at the heart-wrenching expression on the man's face, he felt quite uncomfortable. He couldn't help but lift his leg and directly crossed the armrest from the driver's seat to the middle, squatting next to the other person. He raised his hand to cover the knee of the person in front of him, patted it gently, and looked up at the other person.
