Chapter 105 Earthquake
Just because of the Hongda base, they are not worthy.
Nan Ci said, looking at the three old Taoist priests, "Are you leaving?"
The old Taoist put his hands into his sleeves and shook his head, "No, there is no place like home."
Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "We won't leave either."
They are partners, so they must advance and retreat together.
Xu Guang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You guys are really... brave enough. Well, since you don't want to leave, then be more careful! The Pei family only has Pei Chengming as their only son, and they protect him very well. Now that he has died outside, the Pei family will definitely not let it go."
Nan Ci thought about it and asked another question, "What did the Pei family start from?"
Since you don't plan to leave, you need to understand your opponent.
Although Nan Ci has confidence in himself, he cannot be blindly confident. He still needs to ask the necessary questions. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Xu Guang thought for a moment before answering, "The Pei family's background is quite complicated. They are involved in both the military and politics, and both the black and white worlds. Before the end of the world, their family was extraordinary in City X. After the end of the world, they directly chose their own property, Hongda Building, as their base camp. They started to renovate it during the rainstorm. Now it has become a small world of its own, with everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and entertainment.
Of course, only people of high status can enjoy it. Ordinary survivors can also ensure their living by working hard or finding fuel.
There are also some people at the bottom of society who can only step on power generation equipment to avoid starvation.”
Xu Guang's remarks not only introduced the Pei family, but also introduced the Hongda base.
Nan Ci didn't feel anything special after hearing this.
Although she had never been to the base in her previous life, she could more or less guess that life in the base would definitely not be as good as she had imagined.
Before the end of the world, people's lives were still divided into different classes.
After the end of the world, resources will decrease dramatically and the differences in people’s lives will only become greater.
Anyone who thinks that they can live a life without worries about food and clothing after entering the base is totally wrong.
Mu Qianqian had the biggest reaction and was the most disappointed among the few people.
She was somewhat interested in the base before, but because Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest were unwilling to go to the base, she stayed there with Zhou Ziyang.
Although people have never been there and have never seen what the base looks like, it is inevitable that they still have certain expectations for the base.
But now, after hearing Xu Guang's description of the Hongda Base, the little bit of thought in my heart was completely shattered.
"Life at the base is like this. Fortunately, we didn't go there!"
Seeing Mu Qianqian's extremely relieved look, Xu Guang smiled and said, "You are all capable people. Even if you go to the base, you will not be at the bottom. Not to mention enjoying more, but it should be no problem for you to live the life of ordinary people before the end of the world."
To put it simply, what Xu Guang said means that one will not have to worry about food and drink, have a small home, and have no worries about water and electricity.
A life that can be summed up in a dozen words is out of reach for many people today.
Mu Qianqian's mind was still working very quickly at this moment, and she immediately thought of something, "If we take four cats to the base, won't the other people in the base be concerned about us?"
The Hongda base is not small, and there are definitely more than one person like Pei Chengming in it.
At that time, let alone living a peaceful and stable life, it will be a problem whether you can live well.
Even though she had never been to the base, Mu Qianqian felt scared just thinking about it.
After hearing Mu Qianqian's words, Xu Guang did not deny it, but just showed a meaningful smile.
He has said everything that needs to be said, and the rest can only be understood without words.
Xu Guang glanced at the huge chicken not far away and said, "What a pity! I thought I could have a taste of it! Now it seems there is no chance. It's getting late, I'll leave first. If you don't leave, you should think about how to deal with the Pei family!"
Nan Ci nodded, "Have a safe trip—"
Before he could utter the last word, Nan Ci suddenly felt the earth shaking and his body began to sway from side to side.
Under such violent shaking, everything in front of me was shaking violently, I couldn’t see anything clearly, and I started to feel nauseous and vomit.
Nan Ci understood instantly that it was an earthquake!
"There's an earthquake! Pay attention to your safety!"
After shouting this, Nan Ci tried his best to steady himself and used his eyes to look for the four cats.
Fortunately, the four cats were huge in size and not far away from her. They approached her as soon as the earthquake occurred and found her quickly.
Nan Ci rolled and crawled to the four cats, signaled them to shrink, and sent them into the space.
This earthquake is not ordinary, and we don’t know its magnitude, but it gives people the feeling that it is destroying the world.
The ice under his feet was shaking violently, and Nan Ci could even hear the sound of it breaking.
The buildings exposed on the ice swayed left and right as the earth shook violently, and it seemed that they were in danger of breaking at any time.
Nan Ci no longer cared about her safe house at this time, she could only protect herself first.
The earthquake continued and no one knew how long it lasted. It seemed as if the whole world was destroyed.
It took a long time before the world finally calmed down.
Nan Ci slowly opened his eyes, but still felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. He could only close his eyes again and let himself lie there.
Although he couldn't open his eyes, Nan Ci released the four cats from the space.
Otherwise, when we get up in a while, the old Taoist priest and the others come looking for us and don't see the four cats, they will definitely be very surprised.
In addition, Nan Ci cannot open his eyes or get up now, but with four cats guarding him, his safety is guaranteed.
As soon as the four cats appeared around, they began to meow, their voices full of anxiety and worry.
Nan Ci could only raise his hands and gently stroke their bodies to tell them that he was fine and to calm them.
After lying down for more than ten minutes, Nan Ci finally felt better. After opening his eyes, the dizziness was no longer in front of him, and he could slowly sit up.
Nan Ci sat up straight, looked around, and remained silent.
The surrounding environment now can only be described as devastated.
Before the earthquake, everything was white, and after the earthquake, everything was still white.
The only difference is that it was neat and tidy before and now it is a mess.
The water surface had originally been completely frozen, which was considered another degree of restoration of traffic.
But now, the ice surface was broken, like a mirror shattered into countless pieces.
The water below was flowing rapidly, and ice blocks of all sizes were pushed away by the water.
These gaps are large and small, and are several meters from the ice surface to the water surface. If you fall into them and don't get timely rescue, you will die.
