An old lady ran towards him in a panic, which made Qin Ziye come to his senses. He quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Auntie, what are you trying to do? Get out of here!"
"My grandson is still at home!" The old lady was so anxious that tears were about to come out: "I have to go save my grandson!"
"You...what are you thinking? You can abandon the child at a time like this!"
Hearing what the old lady said, Qin Ziye became a little flustered and at a loss.
"Where is your home?" Master Ru ran up and said to the old lady, "Hurry up, I'll go save her!"
"master……"
After asking for the address, Master Ru patted Qin Ziye's shoulder and said, "You stay here to evacuate the people. I'll go rescue the child. Wait for me!"
"Okay!" Seeing Master Ru, Qin Ziye immediately calmed down and nodded in response.
After looking at Qin Ziye deeply, Master Ru turned around and walked towards the address the old lady told him.
At this time, the ground in the western region was already shaking slightly. Perhaps because the crowd was too noisy, the vibration was not too obvious at this time.
It's just like... a volcano that is brewing a powerful energy. The moment it erupts, it will be enough to destroy everything, leaving nothing behind!
As Master Ru anxiously moved among the crowd, the amplitude of the ground shaking became more and more obvious.
The crowd's panic grew until everyone could clearly feel it.
Finally, Master Ru stopped breathlessly in front of a very inconspicuous house.
The door was open. Master Ru walked quickly into the house, forcing himself to block out the noisy sounds outside, listening carefully to the movements inside the house, and searching around the house at the same time.
Finally, Master Ru fixed his eyes on a room - where he heard bursts of crying.
Gritting his teeth, Master Ru pushed the door open and saw that it was a bedroom. The things inside had been shaken to the ground and were in a mess.
From under the bed in this bedroom, bursts of helpless crying were heard.
"Child!" Master Ru quickly stepped forward and squatted down. He saw a little boy of five or six years old curled up under the bed, crying non-stop. He quickly said to the boy, "Stop crying and come with me!"
The little boy looked at Master Ru, timidly crawled out from under the bed, and stuck his head out. He didn't answer, but just cried, or rather, he was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
Thinking of Qin Ziye, Master Ru took off his hat and put it on the little boy's head. Then he rubbed the little boy's head and said, "Don't cry, look at me, I'm the security guard uncle, I'm here to save you!"
"Security officer...Uncle?" Feeling the warmth above his head, the little boy stopped crying and looked at Master Ru with a twitching nose.
"Yes, it's the security guard uncle!" Master Ru said with a smile: "Come, follow me, I will take you to find grandma!"
"I...I can't walk anymore..."
Master Ru opened his mouth and was about to say something.
At this moment, the earthquake broke out!
Just like a long-accumulated volcano erupting with magma, the vibration of the ground increased exponentially, and the "rumbling" sound was inaudible, like the wail of the earth.
Everything on the ground was shaken and had double images. Several terrifying cracks suddenly appeared in the land, and countless buildings collapsed in an instant!
It’s too late!
Master Ru picked up the little boy without thinking and rushed out of the house.
Just when he rushed to the door and was only one step away from the outside of the house, a load-bearing beam suddenly fell from the roof, causing countless falling bricks!
"boom!!"
The house collapsed under the weight.
Countless smoke and dust were rolling. The little boy sat alone outside the door, holding up his hat and staring blankly at the ruins in front of him.
At the last moment, he was thrown out, and the security guard uncle who came to rescue him was buried under the rubble.
"Uncle...security officer..." the little boy said in a trembling voice.
"Whose child is this?"
"Never mind, there's an earthquake, run!"
There was a loud noise all around, and then the little boy felt his body lighten, and he was carried away by another resident who was taking refuge.
"Everyone, please don't crowd. This will only greatly reduce the efficiency of evacuation!"
Even when an earthquake occurred, the security guards still stood in their positions and evacuated the panicked crowd.
People will not leave their positions until their safety is guaranteed.
Qin Ziye was naturally among them.
"Auntie, please go to take shelter!"
The old lady shook her head, tears on her face: "My grandson hasn't come back yet!"
Qin Ziye was also very anxious at this time.
Master Ru...why haven't you come back yet?
"My...my grandson!" Suddenly, the old lady noticed something in the crowd and waved and shouted frantically.
Hearing this, Qin Ziye immediately looked in the direction where the old lady was waving.
Qin Ziye's heart sank when he saw a little boy wearing a security guard's hat and a completely unfamiliar man holding him.
The man was anxious to seek refuge and saw the old lady standing next to the security guard. He handed the child to the old lady and left in a hurry.
"Grandson, my grandson!" The old lady hugged the little boy tightly, feeling relieved.
Qin Ziye stared blankly at the hat on the little boy's head: "Child... um, where is the uncle wearing this hat?"
"Uncle was trapped under the house!" the little boy choked.
Qin Ziye's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
The lady holding the little boy also fell silent.
Qin Ziye took the hat from the little boy and put it on his head. At this time, the shining badge on the hat seemed so heavy to him.
Master Ru, maybe you are right. We are just small people and cannot hold up the sky for everyone.
But... you have already supported a child's entire life, or rather, an entire family's life, and that is enough.
Next, leave it to me.
Adjusting the brim of his hat, Qin Ziye took two deep breaths and said calmly, "Auntie, take the children and seek shelter!"
The old lady nodded, held the little boy in her arms, bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle, and then turned and left.
At the same time, the people's army in the entire western border and surrounding provinces was immediately mobilized.
From all over the country, as soon as the earthquake occurred, countless relief teams flew to the western border.
At the Institute of Biological Sciences, Han Kunping had just reported that the Western Territory Sky Cave might cause a disaster when he turned around and heard that a magnitude 8 earthquake had occurred in the Western Territory. He beat his chest and stamped his feet.
No one expected that the disaster brought by this sky cave would come so quickly and... be so terrible!
"Mobilize all available special agents at the Institute of Biological Sciences and all resident special agents in cities across the country. Leave only one agent in each city, and have the rest of the agents head west!"
