Chapter 107: A Ruin
But that's all.
The buildings did not collapse, but each building was tilted at a different angle, and there were many large cracks on them that were visible to the naked eye.
Not to mention how much wind will enter through these cracks, just the fact that the building is so crooked and full of cracks cannot guarantee safety. I guess no one would dare to continue living in it.
If you really live in it, who knows when the building will collapse.
Even if you escaped a major earthquake but were crushed to death while living inside, that would be a huge loss.
Mu Qianqian looked at the house that had become a dangerous building and felt like crying, "Where are we going to live in the future? Do we have to live in the base?"
I just found out about the darkness of the base and my home is gone. Who can understand this feeling?
Hearing Mu Qianqian's words, Nan Ci looked at her with amusement, "Isn't the base a high-rise building? Are you sure the earthquake didn't damage the base?"
When Nan Ci said this, Mu Qianqian was a little dumbfounded, "Then... if that's the case, is there any place to live?"
No one can give a definite answer to this question.
Nan Ci could only shake his head, "I don't know if there is a place to live. Now I can only take it one step at a time."
Mu Qianqian stared at Nan Ci for a long while before asking, "So which step should we take now?"
Nan Ci, "???"
Nan Ci didn't expect that Mu Qianqian would be so persistent in asking questions. She didn't know how to answer.
Just as he was about to say he didn't know, Nan Ci suddenly had an idea, "Now, we should pack up the supplies at home and get them down."
"All of them?" Mu Qianqian's eyes widened in disbelief.
It wasn't that she was making a fuss, but they really did get a lot of supplies.
There is not only food, drink, clothing and daily necessities, but also a lot of fuel.
The house with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom is completely packed, and even the space to step on is very narrow.
With so many supplies, it would be impossible for them to carry them away even if there were 40 people, let alone four of them.
These are just the things of Mu Qianqian and the other three. If Nan Ci’s supplies were added, the number would definitely be doubled. It would be too difficult to take them all away.
Nan Ci pursed his lips slightly and said softly, "If possible, who wouldn't want to take them all away?"
Space is her biggest secret, and even though they are partners now, it is impossible for them to tell it.
Nan Ci didn't feel sorry. They were just partners. She had no obligation and could not take responsibility for their survival.
The old Taoist priest came over at this time and said, "Take as much as you can. This little bastard can still grow a little bigger, so take as much as you can.
Nan Ci, don't think about keeping a low profile or feeling sorry for the cats. Let them help you carry the supplies while you find a place to stay."
When Nan Ci heard the old Taoist's idea, he did not object. He thought the old Taoist's idea was normal.
"Go upstairs and pack your things before it gets dark," said Nan Ci.
"Wait!" Zhou Ziyang tried to stop them, "Will there be aftershocks? Should we wait a little longer?"
Nan Ci was not sure whether there would be aftershocks.
After all, the early arrival of extreme cold has caused huge changes from the last time.
There had been no earthquakes in her previous life until her death.
Apart from having more space, supplies and survival skills, Nan Ci did not have much more foresight than others.
Several people looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and decided to wait.
If there were an aftershock and they were in the building at the time, one can imagine how terrible the consequences would be.
They had just decided not to go upstairs when they saw many people running out of the unit doors of every building.
These people were still in shock, and they stumbled as they ran, with their clothes in a mess.
It was obvious that they were frightened by the earthquake that just happened. As soon as the earthquake stopped, they ran downstairs in a hurry, not caring about anything else.
Many people escaped, but very few of them brought supplies with them.
Before, supplies were indeed important to the survivors.
Supplies are what they depend on for survival.
But now, faced with life and death, supplies and other things have to be put on the back burner, and staying alive is the most important thing.
Looking at these people fleeing in panic, Mu Qianqian felt extremely fortunate.
"Luckily we are outside. If we were inside the building, we would probably be in as much trouble as they are now."
The old Taoist priest chuckled, "Do you think our current situation is much better than these people's?"
When Mu Qianqian heard this, she couldn't help but laugh.
Their current condition is indeed not much better.
Several people waited quietly, and within two minutes, as expected, an aftershock occurred.
Although it is called an aftershock, it is actually not much different from the previous big earthquake.
It was just that this time everyone was prepared and supported each other, so they were not shaken to the ground again.
This aftershock lasted about a minute and then stopped.
Under normal circumstances, you can hardly do anything in a minute and just spend it in a daze.
But in this case, a minute seems as long as a lifetime.
When they finally came to a stop, everyone felt like they had survived a disaster.
But even now, people still dare not celebrate or cheer.
No one knows whether there will be aftershocks, whether they will be bigger or smaller, and whether they will be lucky enough to survive.
Everything is unknown, all they can do is wait.
In the next ten minutes or so, dozens of aftershocks of varying sizes occurred, some strong and some weak, and some long and some short.
Some of the buildings, which already had cracks and were leaning crooked, now had even bigger cracks. Some of them even leaned directly into the icy water, becoming complete ruins.
No one knew if there was anyone else inside, but it didn't matter now.
Those who had escaped in time are now filled with gratitude.
Although they lost their home and the supplies they had worked so hard to collect, at least they were still alive.
You are always much luckier than those who don't even have a chance to escape.
Nan Ci had no time to pay attention to others. She was staring at Building 11 nervously, fearing that Building 11 would collapse.
If Building 11 also collapsed, all her supplies would be destroyed.
If he wanted to live the same carefree life as before, he would either have to expose his uniqueness or find a way to find supplies.
But the current situation is very different from before, and it is not so easy to find supplies.
Even in order to avoid putting himself in such a dilemma, Nan Ci also hopes that Building 11 will be in good condition.
Fortunately, she is still lucky.
The 11th floor looked precarious, but it did not collapse.
As long as it hasn't collapsed, we can go in and find a way to get all the supplies out.
