Chapter 20 Courting Death
"An'an, is there an earthquake? Mom and Dad, hold on to me, don't fall!"
Hu Jianye tightly grasped the hands of Hu Deyi and Zhang Wenqian, his face full of anxiety.
In the face of natural disasters, human power is so small. Once the underground parking lot collapses, they can only wait for rescue.
Patting Hu Jianye on the shoulder, Liu Jianan gave him a calming look: "Everyone hold on, wait until the shaking is over, then we will go out."
This is not an earthquake, he knows very well, the shaking is caused by the meteorite hitting the ground.
The air-raid shelter can completely withstand this kind of invasion from above the ground, so they don't have to worry about the collapse.
"Boom--"
The lights in the parking lot flickered continuously with the loud noise. The environment that was clearly destructive was like a scene from a horror movie, which made people feel cold.
Finally, the struggling light was completely extinguished, and the darkness swallowed everyone's vision.
Everyone subconsciously gathered together and supported each other.
In the face of danger, sticking together would make them feel more secure.
The explosion and vibration continued for a long time. Fortunately, they all carried mobile phones with them, so they would not misjudge the speed of time passing and scare themselves.
"It seems that the earthquake has weakened, and the explosions have become smaller."
"Yes, I feel the same way! Fortunately, we hid in the parking lot, otherwise it would be dangerous."
"I don't know what's going on outside. I hope the place where we live is okay."
After the initial panic, everyone gradually calmed down and chatted with each other to relieve the panic in their hearts.
Liu Zhen listened quietly.
Most of these people are under 20 years old. Like Wang Mazi, they failed to get into college and did not have strong professional skills. They gradually became marginalized people in society.
Their biggest wish is to have a meal and live a peaceful life.
The test to obtain Lingbao is quite difficult, and it is even more difficult to get from Yuncheng to Kyoto.
"Everyone," Liu Jianan told everyone what he had been thinking for a long time, "I am going to go deep into Hulu Mountain to find something."
"It's a dangerous journey, and we may encounter unexpected natural disasters or man-made disasters."
He took out the prepared flashlight from his backpack and brought a ray of light to everyone.
Then he continued, "I won't force you. Those who are willing to follow me will be my brothers in the future."
"For those who are unwilling, I will give you some supplies, and you can make a living on your own."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately talked about it.
They had all experienced the earth-shaking situation just now. It was too dangerous to enter Hulu Mountain at this time!
It is human nature to be afraid of death, and many people backed out at that moment.
"Boss," Liu Jianan did not expect that the first person to make up his mind was Wang Mazi, "I'll follow you!"
In his opinion, Wang Mazi has always been a person who changes his mind according to the situation and does not do anything without profit .
Liu Jianan looked at Wang Mazi with scrutiny. Just at this time, the explosion gradually subsided. He pointed the flashlight at the way out: "Go out first, and talk about it after you go out." The
world outside the parking lot was in ruins.
Although he had some guesses about the power of the meteorite rain, he was also shocked by the broken walls and ruins in front of him.
Hulushan Hotel was hit by a huge meteorite, and the whole hotel was razed to the ground, with broken stones everywhere.
Zhang Yaoyao seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurried to run towards the hotel.
Hu Jianye quickly stopped her: "Sister Zhang, it's dangerous there, what are you going to do?"
"Zhou Yuan's ashes are still there!" Her eyes were red.
Liu Jianan opened his backpack.
The sealed urn was lying quietly at the bottom of the backpack. He originally bought a mountaineering bag for travel, which was just enough to hold Zhou Yuan's urn.
"It was a coincidence. When I was taking refuge, I found the urn still behind the counter, so I took it with me."
He handed the intact urn to Zhang Yaoyao with great care, "Don't lose such an important thing next time."
Zhang Yaoyao nodded vigorously: "Thank you, thank you so much."
Liu Jianan shook his head, his eyes passed Zhang Yaoyao, and looked at the broken hotel.
Fortunately, everyone evacuated, and there were no casualties in the hotel.
Just thinking about it, he heard a faint cry for help.
Did he hear it wrong?
Liu Jianan frowned slightly. Since Zhou Yuan's death, the hotel has not been open to the public.
Yesterday, Zhang Yaoyao and the kitchen staff settled their wages, so the hotel should be empty at this time.
But soon, other people also heard the cry for help.
Hu Jianye scratched his head in confusion: "Why does this voice sound so much like Brother Xu?"
Without further ado, everyone hurriedly followed the sound and finally found Xu Zhaoxin and Yang Shu trapped under the stone in the ruins.
Together, they moved the boulder and rescued the two.
Liu Jianan checked the injuries of the two people. Xu Zhaoxin was fine, with only a minor fracture, and he would be fine in a few days.
Yang Shu had a comminuted fracture of his right leg. If he didn't go to the hospital for treatment immediately, this leg would be useless!
Now there were only two options before him. Either he could follow the original plan and grab the Lingbao as soon as possible. Or he
could postpone the trip to Hulu Mountain and send the two injured to the hospital first.
He chose the latter without hesitation: "Sister Zhang, let's take them to the hospital together in my off-road vehicle."
Then, he picked up the vermilion stones on the ground and said seriously: "While we are away, you can collect these stones. The more the better."
"Old Hu, uncle, aunt, I leave this to you. Wait until I come back."
Human lives are at stake, and they can't afford to delay.
Hulu Mountain is in a remote location. A day later may only mean a few more competitors, but there is still a chance to grab the Lingbao.
But he really couldn't understand: "Didn't you go back to Kyoto? Why are you still in Yuncheng?"
Xu Zhaoxin looked away guiltily and pretended to cry out in pain.
Liu Jianan didn't understand anything now. Most likely, these two guys were pretending to obey him but secretly disobeying him. They promised him on the surface, but actually stayed in Yuncheng secretly, waiting for an opportunity to take him to Kyoto.
He laughed and glanced at the two guys who were holding him back with a sinister look: "That's it, none of you can leave."
If you don't commit suicide, you will die.
