Xia Ning couldn't hear Shu Qilan's rich inner monologue, so she pretended to be angry and got into the car.
They didn't even have time to put the tent back in the trunk; they just piled it on the back seat and sped off in the car.
What took a ten-minute drive to get there took almost an hour to drive back.
Xia Ning turned on the car radio. The earthquake's epicenter was in D City, thousands of kilometers away. It was said that a huge crack had appeared in the center of D City, making it comparable to hell on earth.
All major websites are filled with earthquake-related information. The sudden massive earthquake and the subsequent tsunami have caused devastating damage to the island nation.
—The end of the world is coming, everyone enjoy one last good meal.
—Don't spread rumors, this is divine punishment, and we have avenged our great grudge.
—The divine punishment is so inaccurate, why does it affect innocent people?
—What kind of time is this to be making jokes? Don't you guys have any respect for life?!
My cat broke its leg after being hit by a falling shelf. Which pet hospital in City A is open? Please DM me QAQ
—I live on the thirteenth floor. When the earthquake struck, my heart sank. I thought that I couldn't escape anyway, so I might as well lie down and wait to die.
