Chapter 8: A Great Earthquake
So Lin Xiyue, Ji Yuan, Gu Qinghan and Du Luoqing took the elevator to the underground parking lot together.
Gu Qinghan, who was standing aside, looked at Lin Xiyue, hesitant to speak, and all of this was seen by Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan instantly understood Gu Qinghan's thoughts. Humph! Her best friend Lin Xiyue might be favored by someone.
Ji Yuan secretly vowed in his heart that he must help Lin Xiyue to investigate carefully, President Gu, the famous president of Yucheng.
Ji Yu Anke had heard that the Gu Group was now one of the largest companies in Yucheng. Under Gu Qinghan's management, the group's business had grown rapidly over the years. Gu Qinghan was also one of Yucheng's annual Outstanding Entrepreneurs.
What's more, the end of the world is about to come, which will test human nature even more. She will never allow anyone to hurt Lin Xiyue in the name of love. She must protect her only good friend.
Ji Yuan, who was standing aside, looked at Gu Qinghan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. Ji Yuan deliberately hugged Lin Xiyue's arm intimately, "Yueyue, the elevator door is open, let's go!"
From Gu Qinghan's point of view, Ji Yuan was obviously provoking her. His entire chest was pressed against Lin Xiyue's body, and their cheeks were touching. Was it necessary to be so close to each other just to say a word?
Gu Qinghan appeared calm on the surface, but he felt unhappy inside. He could only control his eyes and try not to look at Lin Xiyue.
Du Luoqing looked at his friend and said kindly, "Okay, don't be angry. This can't be rushed. Take your time!"
// In Yucheng's large commercial plaza, Lin Xiyue and Ji Yuan were preparing to eat after buying what they needed, when they met Gu Qinghan and Du Luoqing again at Chang's Restaurant.
Since it was dinner time, there were a lot of people at Chang's Restaurant. Gu Qinghan and her friends came later and there were no seats for them.
Gu Qinghan asked Lin Xiyue for permission before sitting down with them to eat. During the meal, Ji Yuan kept winking at Lin Xiyue, almost blinking her eyes blind, but Lin Xiyue didn't understand and didn't get her point.
So the straightforward Lin Xiyue asked with concern: "Xiaoyu, is there sand in your eyes? Is it serious? Let me see and I will help you blow it out."
Ji Yuan was so angry that she vomited blood. She didn't expect that Lin Xiyue thought her eyes were sick. Oh my god, it seems that someone likes Lin Xiyue, and it's the famous President Gu.
Lin Xiyue is also lucky.
But in Gu Qinghan's opinion, Lin Xiyue and Ji Yuan are too close!
To be honest, Gu Qinghan was jealous, and the villain in his heart was writing down all the bad things Lin Xiyue did in a small notebook, and would settle accounts with her one by one when the time came.
Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan was no longer jealous or angry, and happily ate the rice in the bowl.
Du Luoqing knew her good friend Gu Qinghan's temper very well, so she must be very angry at this moment. She watched Gu Qinghan eating calmly in silence, secretly glanced at Lin Xiyue who knew nothing about it, and secretly mourned for her for three seconds!
// However, halfway through the meal, Lin Xiyue suddenly felt dizzy. She saw the Pisces tattoo on her left wrist, which showed a countdown of 100 seconds to a magnitude 10 earthquake: 99 seconds, 98 seconds, 97 seconds, 96 seconds, 95 seconds...
Gu Qinghan and Ji Yuan reacted quickly and supported Lin Xiyue who was about to fall, "Yueyue, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xiyue quickly steadied himself and said, "I'm fine. The earthquake is about to start. There are only 90 seconds left. Let's go quickly to an open area."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghan immediately took out a stack of banknotes and threw them on the table. She and Ji Yuan helped Lin Xiyue quickly leave the family restaurant, followed by Du Luoqing, who was confused and bewildered.
Shortly after they left Chang's Restaurant, alarms signaling an approaching earthquake began to sound on their TVs and phones.
Gu Qinghan and Ji Yuan helped Lin Xiyue to sit on the leisure stone pier in the center of the empty square. It was the most empty place with no buildings anywhere.
Lin Xiyue also recovered a little, her face pale as she said to everyone: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Lin Xiyue took out four bottles of water from his military backpack, handed one to each of them, and said, "Here, one bottle each, drink some water slowly."
Ji Yuan took the water from Lin Xiyue's hand, unscrewed a bottle, handed it to Lin Xiyue and said, "Yueyue, drink it first!"
"By the way, Yueyue, how could you predict the earthquake in advance? Can you predict every disaster in advance?"
Gu Qinghan took the two bottles of water handed to her by Lin Xiyue, gave one bottle to Du Luoqing, unscrewed the bottle cap with force, took a small sip, and knew in her heart that this was the spiritual water that Lin Xiyue gave her last time.
Gu Qinghan watched without blinking as Lin Xiyue drank the entire bottle of Lingxi water. Two playful drops of Lingxi water slid down her fair neck, down to her collarbone, and then to her cleavage. Gu Qinghan felt a surge of heat all over her body, and she quickly drank another large gulp of Lingxi water to ease the heat. After that, Gu Qinghan didn't dare to look away. She wanted to know how Lin Xiyue would respond to Ji Yuan's question.
After drinking a bottle of Lingxi water, Lin Xiyue finally recovered all the functions of his body.
Lin Xiyue held the empty water bottle in her hand and nodded seriously: "I can indeed predict a magnitude 10 earthquake just now, and it has a 100-second countdown. There are still 30 seconds left before the earthquake begins." Lin Xiyue thought that it should be a function attached to the Pisces space, but she still didn't want to tell Ji Yuan about this so soon.
"I think there will be more different doomsday disasters in the future, and I'm not sure if we can predict them."
"The end of the world is coming, and disasters like this will only increase in number. All we can do is find a way to survive."
Gu Qinghan frowned, pondering the mystery in his mind, while also worrying about Lin Xiyue's safety.
Because the official earthquake alert was issued, more and more people gathered in the square. The four of them were worried about getting separated from each other, so Ji Yuan held Du Luoqing's hand and Lin Xiyue held Gu Qinghan's hand.
Lin Xiyue watched helplessly as Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing were pushed apart. She shouted to Ji Yuan, "Xiaoyu, you two must protect yourselves. Gather at the entrance of the Haiwan Community after the earthquake. You must survive, understand?"
At this moment, the crowd in the square began to riot, and the entire ground began to shake violently. Lin Xiyue felt as if he had lost his balance all of a sudden. The surroundings shook violently, and nearby buildings made creaking sounds. Some old buildings began to collapse in rows.
Then the people in the square watched as the ground cracked, forming a huge fissure. Some high-rise buildings began to sink, and some people were dragged under the crack before they could escape, their lives or deaths unknown.
Lin Xiyue held Gu Qinghan's hand tightly with her ten fingers, trying to find balance in the chaos.
At this moment, suddenly a huge concrete slab fell from above and hit them.
"Be careful...hmm."
Gu Qinghan was quick to pull Lin Xiyue behind him and shield her with his body. The cement board brushed Gu Qinghan's shoulder and fell down. She groaned, but still did not let go of Lin Xiyue's hand.
"You...what's wrong with you?"
"Where are you hurt? Let me see?"
Lin Xiyue's heart tightened, and her eyes reddened slightly as she saw Gu Qinghan injured. She took Gu Qinghan to a deserted place, took out some hemostatics and bandages from her backpack, and set them aside to treat her wound.
At this time, the ground was still shaking, and people around were running around in panic. Some people were killed by falling cement blocks before they could dodge; some fell into cracks and didn't know whether they were alive or dead; some were trampled to death;
People all over the earth screamed in despair, and the entire world, country, and city were in chaos...
Lin Xiyue appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was extremely anxious. His hands were shaking as he bandaged Gu Qinghan's wound, and he kept muttering, "It's okay, it will be okay." He didn't know if he was comforting himself or Gu Qinghan...
Gu Qinghan endured the pain and looked at Lin Xiyue tenderly, "I'm fine, don't panic."
