"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. You scared me to death, that was terrifying!" The guard started rambling when he saw that Bi Qiaoan was in a good mood.
Bi Qiaoan didn't take it seriously either, just nodding and agreeing with whatever he said.
Her entire being was captivated by the sight before her. The makeshift restaurant tent had collapsed, a ravine had split open in the ground not far away, and the distant ruins were once again buried.
"I'm so glad you're alright. With such a strong aftershock, I was really worried you might have hurt your stomach," the guard said, as he picked up the scattered coal stove, pot, and bowls and placed them not far from the tent.
Bi Qiaoan then came to her senses and thanked the guard: "Thank you. I was only spared from injury thanks to my son."
"Oh? What happened?"
"It cackled before the earthquake to warn me, which allowed me to hide in time and lie on the ground. I was cushioned by a blanket, so I wasn't seriously injured. If I hadn't been prepared, I might have actually fallen due to the strong tremors, and the consequences would have been much more serious," Bi Qiaoan said, half-jokingly.
"I was wondering why I heard the goose squawking earlier. It turns out it sensed it in advance!" The guard was quite surprised.
"Well, I didn't know it was barking because there was danger at the time; I just followed its lead and hid back in the tent. If I had known earlier, I could have shouted to warn you all," Bi Qiaoan said, worried that people would have a problem with her if they found out.
However, she didn't regret hiding immediately. First, she wasn't sure what the goose meant, and others might not believe her if she told them. Second, the goose's calls were so urgent that she feared danger would come too quickly for her to escape.
"Hey, it's alright. You're heavily pregnant, it's good enough that you can take care of yourself. Besides, if you really ran over to tell us, you might encounter an earthquake on the way, and you wouldn't be able to hide. In the future, if you encounter danger, don't just think about others, just take care of yourself."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "I understand, I'm just glad you don't blame me."
"What's it to blame you for? This is a natural disaster, something no one can predict. You're lucky that the goose warned you; that's your good fortune. We have no right to ask anything of you." The guard smiled. "Alright, you can rest now. I'll go back and help everyone clean up the mess."
"good!"
After the guards left, Bi Qiaoan squatted down, stroked the goose's head and said, "Thanks to you just now, otherwise I don't know if I could have kept this pregnancy."
Then I picked a few strawberries from my spatial storage and secretly fed them to the goose in my palm.
Once the goose had settled back into its nest, Bi Qiaoan, sitting in the tent, began to worry. She wondered if Shen Yanming was alright, and whether Zhu Shiliang and Yu Shui were safe.
Meanwhile, Shen Yanming, whom Bi Qiaoan was worried about, had just gotten up from the ground. He was covered in dirt and had several scratches on his face that were bleeding.
He looked disheveled, but he was lucky because he was out delivering supplies. So when the aftershock struck, he just didn't have time to react and fell to the ground, getting cut by bricks and stones. As for his limbs and torso, he was fine and had no injuries.
After the earthquake stopped, he got up from the ground and felt a burning pain on his face. He took off his gloves, took out a tissue from his pocket, and wiped his face. It was blood.
Without considering whether she would be disfigured, Shen Yanming was now worried about Qiao An's condition, whether she had survived the aftershocks, whether she was injured, and whether their baby was safe.
He desperately wanted to run back and check, desperately wanted to go into his spatial dimension to see what was happening, but he couldn't, and he didn't dare. For the first time, he felt such anguish that the earthquake had cut off his signal, preventing him from even knowing immediately if his wife was safe.
Suddenly, Shen Yanming felt that there was something extra in the storage area. He looked at it with his consciousness and found that it was a note written by Bi Qiaoan, saying that she was fine and the baby was safe and sound, and asked him to reply to him after he was out of danger.
Shen Yanming's heart finally settled down at this moment. He used his consciousness to write the character "安" (peace/peace) on the back of the note, and then threw the note into the planting area through the transparent light screen.
Bi Qiaoan sensed it the moment the note arrived. She only felt relieved after seeing Shen Yanming's handwriting.
That's right, using notes to exchange messages in the virtual space was the solution Bi Qiaoan came up with when she was extremely worried. This way, even when they couldn't easily access the virtual space, they could still receive each other's messages and reply—how wonderful!
At this moment, Shen Yanming finally had the mood to check his wound, but now there was no mirror, no water, no cotton swabs, no alcohol. How was he supposed to treat the wound?
Even if you have powerful scar-removing tools like energy rainwater or spiritual spring water, if your wound gets covered in dust, it will still have an impact after it heals.
He looked around and saw no one. There were supply trucks parked not far away. Shen Yanming walked over, cleaned his wounds in the rearview mirror, and then considered his current situation.
The aftershock was clearly stronger than the one he experienced in Haishi, but Sushi was basically a ruin. The rescued victims had all been taken care of, so what was buried were only the supplies and the guards who were working on the ruins.
Therefore, he needed to first check how many people in his team were buried and how many were injured, and then dig out the buried people based on the signals.
Once he made up his mind, Shen Yanming ran towards the pile of ruins where he had previously worked. After another collapse, the area had changed drastically, and he could no longer tell where everyone had been working before.
However, there were quite a few people standing on the ruins, obviously not buried by the aftershocks. Shen Yanming couldn't help but pray in his heart that everyone would be safe and sound.
But his prayers were in vain, because someone broke their arm in the accident, and someone else hit their head.
Shen Yanming ignored the injured. After looking around and not finding Captain Li and Captain Zhou, he asked the still bewildered people, "Where are Captain Li and Captain Zhou? Have you seen them?"
Only then did everyone realize that they hadn't seen the two captains.
At this moment, someone timidly raised a large hand and said, "I remember, before the aftershock, the two of them were moving flour sacks in that hole they dug. Could they have been buried?"
Everyone was shocked. Shen Yanming asked, "Where are they located?"
The man pointed to a spot not far away and said, "Right there, about ten meters away."
"Understood. Those who are uninjured, come with me to rescue them!"
