Chapter 140 We Are All Still Alive
And there are even more people who are grateful to them.
With this exchange point, many people who were almost in desperate situations excitedly knelt down and kowtowed to them.
Especially those who are infected with the virus at home and have fever and coma, if they don’t have medicine, they will die.
The exchange point opened by Xu Sichen gave them hope of survival.
Xu Sichen was also very satisfied with this.
The entire Central Garden community is very large. In addition to the low-rise buildings 1-9 in the front, there are also high-rise buildings 10-36 in the back. There are thousands of households in the entire community.
Moreover, most of these owners are wealthy people and cannot afford to buy gold, silver, and jade ornaments in their homes.
Now it is flowing into Xu Sichen's pocket continuously.
Xu Sichen fed everything into the space and then observed the changes in the space.
In this way, under the mutually beneficial exchange, Central Garden actually experienced several days of the most peaceful and harmonious days.
But the temperature continued to rise, but after exceeding 30 degrees, the rate of increase slowed down.
However, after a few days, the temperature has exceeded 40 degrees Celsius.
What surprised everyone was that under the influence of high temperature, the ice melted and the dirty sewage gradually receded.
When the temperature rose to fifty degrees, the ground that had not been seen for a long time also appeared.
The desperate people cheered again.
"The water has receded, the water has finally receded, woooo, the end of the world is over, the absolute end of the world is finally over!"
One after another, they ran out of the house, feeling the long-lost sense of being on solid ground, completely unconcerned with the taro paste and garbage on the ground, and began to run madly.
Wei Mingliang also smiled happily, "Sister, is the end of the world really coming to an end?"
Although the weather is very hot now, with a temperature of over 50 degrees Celsius, it is a bit hot and you may get heat stroke and die if you are not careful, but compared with the previous heavy rains, floods and extreme cold, this is nothing.
When the water recedes, the road will be open and rescue will arrive.
This is everyone's expectation and consensus, except Xu Sichen.
Sure enough, before Xu Sichen could answer, they felt a shaking under their feet.
Wei Mingliang staggered and quickly grabbed the window frame, finally able to stand still. He subconsciously looked at Xu Sichen, but saw that she was still looking forward motionlessly.
He turned his head and saw a tall building in the distance collapse and fall to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Wei Mingliang's face turned pale and he quickly grabbed Xu Sichen's hand and was about to run out.
"Sister, there's an earthquake, let's get out!"
Although in its previous life, Central Garden was one of the few nearby floors that did not collapse in the earthquake.
But after being reborn, many things have changed, the time of the natural disaster has changed, and the extreme cold temperature has changed.
Xu Sichen had no way of ensuring that the Central Garden would still be spared from the ravages of the earthquake like in his previous life.
This slight shaking was just a signal that the earthquake had begun. Before anyone could react, a much stronger tremor soon came from underground, hitting people so hard that they couldn't even stand firmly on the ground.
"Earthquake, it's an earthquake! Run, run to the open space!" Accompanied by a scream, people scrambled to get up from the ground and ran desperately to an open space.
If you stay downstairs, you will be crushed to pieces by the collapsed building.
But before they could run far, they were shaken to the ground by the increasingly strong vibrations. The violent shaking made them so scared that they couldn't get up.
Seeing the buildings in the distance collapsing one after another, Xu Sichen grabbed Wei Mingliang and pressed him to the ground.
They are in the city center, and apart from a few leisure parks, there is no open space at all.
To get to the park, you have to walk through tall buildings.
It would be better to just stay on the road in front of the community.
The houses in the front row of the community are low-rise buildings, and the floor height is not very high, so it is difficult for a collapse to hit here.
If the situation seems to be not going well, you can jump directly into the White Mirror Lake next to it.
Their community has lake view houses. As the name suggests, there is a large White Mirror Lake across the road in front of the community.
Although the water level has dropped a lot due to high temperature baking, it is still enough to serve as a buffer.
The people around him followed suit, lying on the road, holding their heads with their hands, and chanting various gods and Buddhas.
Along with the increasingly powerful vibrations, there were continuous rumbling sounds like thunder in my ears. The huge sound of the collapsed houses was enough to burst people's eardrums.
Rumble, rumble and collapse, crashing to the ground and hitting people's hearts.
The scorching heat, the flying dust, and the rapid heartbeats due to fear and panic made it hard to breathe.
Xu Sichen took out two ice towels from the space, covered his mouth and nose with one, and covered Wei Mingliang's face directly with the other.
Wei Mingliang's consciousness began to fade, and he felt a chill on his face, which made him subconsciously raise his hands and press them tightly, covering his face with the towel. Otherwise, in the dust all over the sky, he felt that even if he was not killed by the earthquake, he would be suffocated to death by the dust.
From time to time, some gravel hit my body, and it hurt through my thin clothes.
But at this moment, people could no longer feel it. They just lay on the ground, motionless, for fear that any movement would attract the attention of the earthquake and drag them into the cracks.
This vibration and loud noise continued for a long time, and Xu Sichen could not even hear any sound in her ears for a while. There was a buzzing sound, as if her eardrums were punctured. She felt so uncomfortable that she felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat.
The entire earthquake was an extremely long process, even though they were not trapped in the building and did not run for their lives in panic.
But the waiting in between also makes people feel the fear of approaching death.
Like everyone else, Xu Sichen lay motionless on the ground.
Apart from that, she could do nothing.
Even after experiencing a lifetime and being reborn again, she thought she was ready to face a catastrophe that would shake the world apart.
But it wasn't until this moment that she realized that she was not as strong as she thought.
Just like all human beings in this earthquake, he is so insignificant that it is not worth mentioning.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe ten minutes, or maybe several hours, before there was finally no movement underground.
Xu Sichen waited for a long time, making sure that the terrible earthquake was over, and then he slowly sat up in a dizzy state.
As she stood up, a cloud of dust rose.
Looking up, it was gray and dusty everywhere, and visibility was no more than five meters.
Xu Sichen pushed Wei Mingliang beside him, and it took him a while to react. He struggled to get up, and his first reaction was to worry about Xu Sichen's situation.
After making sure Xu Sichen was fine, he seemed to have used up all his strength and collapsed to the ground again.
"Sister, we are all still alive, how great!"
