Suddenly, a landslide began on the mountain not far away. Chen Rui stared at everything with his mouth agape, his mind blank.
"Zhao Hu! Check if everyone's here!" Fang Zhiyi ordered.
Although Zhao Hu was also flustered, he subconsciously began to carry out Fang Zhiyi's orders. After only a few glances, Zhao Hu shouted, "They should all be here!"
The earthquake showed no signs of stopping; they could clearly see a gaping hole torn open in the ground not far away by a tremendous force, as if it were about to swallow people whole.
Chen Rui held Li Duo's hand tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear if he let go.
He suddenly looked at Fang Zhiyi. No wonder Fang Zhiyi had told them from the beginning not to move into the building, but to live in the small wooden cabins built as decorations in the villa. Did he know this from the beginning?
The terrifying earthquake lasted for an unknown period of time, and everyone's heart was in their throat.
Only after the tremors completely stopped did Fang Zhiyi turn and walk in one direction. There used to be a two-story building there, but now it had completely collapsed. He walked step by step onto the pile of rubble and squinted at the direction of the city.
Zhao Hu followed behind him, and the others followed one by one.
"Sigh." Fang Zhiyi sighed.
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Xiaoyu hasn't come out yet?" This made everyone look around. The bolder ones approached the collapsed building, but they still couldn't see the girl.
Several aftershocks occurred during the night, but fortunately, the area they were in was not greatly affected, though they still woke people up from their sleep time and time again.
As soon as it was light, someone saw bloodstains splattered under the collapsed house not far away.
Everyone was in a somber mood. Xiao Yu must have found the small house Fang Zhiyi had arranged uncomfortable and secretly went into the building on her own.
Fang Zhiyi showed no emotion, simply packing her things and speaking calmly.
"Head north."
That's all he said.
Zhao Hu and the others didn't ask why; in their eyes, the man before them was now comparable to a god.
Floods, epidemics, earthquakes—a series of disasters have shattered the last vestiges of human order.
Walking through the ruined streets, they would occasionally see weeping survivors.
Fang Zhiyi didn't speak, but Chen Rui couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to come with us?"
The other person just cried and refused to talk to them.
Some people even kept their distance from them, cursing under their breath.
During this time, they also encountered someone wielding a steel pipe who tried to rob them, but Fang Zhiyi beat them up and disarmed them.
As they passed through the ruins of the city, dozens more people followed behind them, supporting each other as they moved forward. They didn't know where these heavily armed people were going, but following them might save their lives.
When Fang Zhiyi turned around, she saw these people standing there somewhat timidly.
