Chapter 67 Highway Earthquake
The weather is cold, which is really not good!
Xia Chuxiao thought to herself as she looked at the drizzling sky outside.
Not far away, a couple was arguing.
"Don't do this, I have food, don't leave me" the man begged the woman not to leave him.
"Bah, I can't stand you anymore. It's better to follow Brother Hua than to follow a poor and stupid guy like you," the woman said sarcastically.
He pointed at the other man beside him and continued, "Brother Hua is the best. He keeps me from starving."
The man looked at her smiling face towards the person next to her and said sadly: "Okay, as long as you like it, I won't force you."
"snort!"
The woman gave him a look, then said to the man beside her in a seductive voice, "Brother Hua, let's go."
The man looked at their backs quietly, looking very frustrated, muttering: "It's fine this way, as long as you are happy."
Then the man walked back to his shabby car. Just as he was about to open the door, the ground shook and he stopped. He reacted quickly to avoid the crack in the floor.
Seeing the collapsed ground and some vehicles, the man was a little panicked, thinking about her safety. Halfway through running, he saw the familiar figure being protected by the man, and a trace of disappointment flashed through his heart.
The man looked at her sadly, his broad hands tightly grasping the object on his chest. Feeling the ground still shaking, the man became serious, and the thought of escaping flashed through his mind.
"Ah! Help~" The screams of some survivors were heard.
As the ground vibrated, the survivors on the highway got out of their cars one by one. Some survivors fell directly into the cracks in the ground just as they were about to get out.
Several cracks appeared along the entire highway, and the survivors were all pleading for an end to the earthquake. When the army discovered the earthquake, they immediately ordered the survivors in the large military trucks to get out and take shelter. Several large military trucks in the front collapsed.
Feng Pan's face turned pale, his eyes fixed on the spot where they had originally sat. A crack of more than half a meter had already appeared there, and the road on one side had sunk several dozen centimeters. It was not until Bai Ziyue patted his shoulder that he came to his senses, patted his chest, and calmed down: "That was a close call, that was a close call!"
"Fortunately, my sister-in-law let us get off the car, otherwise we would have fallen off with the car."
Bai Ziyue pushed his glasses up and said in a deep voice, "What a pity for your beloved car."
Feng Pan forced a dry laugh, and the others were also shocked. Not only them, but the other survivors fell to the ground in fear, and even cried.
At this point, the ground finally stopped shaking, and the highway was already half-cracked and shattered! It looked passable, but I didn't dare to walk on it.
Bai Zimu and his companions squatted by the roadside wearing hats, taking a rest to relieve the panic they had just experienced. Uncle Gong and Aunt Gong looked grim and heavy-hearted, and they became even more depressed when they heard some panicked survivors crying.
Xia Chuxiao looked at the general situation in front and behind! Going back is impossible, and going forward is a bit dangerous!
Earthquake! Fortunately, it didn't last long!
I’ve never heard of an earthquake on the highway near Green Vine City in my previous life!
Could it be that the plot development has changed again? However, it is true that many changes have taken place since she was reborn in this life. However, the major events will still happen, but she doesn't know whether the changes are good or bad. She can't know the exact time of what will happen, she only knows that it will happen.
Gong Yuhan narrowed his deep eyes, looked at her and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, how do you go? I'll listen to you."
“This road is not easy to walk on”
Xia Chuxiao knew what he meant. They were now trapped in the middle. Going to the back was not an option, and going to the front was a dangerous road. They had no choice but to go to the front!
They don’t know if there will be any aftershocks, so they can’t stay here for long.
Xia Chuxiao glanced at the dull people, then turned to look at him and said lightly, "Let's take a break! Let everyone relax."
"Hmm!" Gong Yuhan responded with a magnetic voice, pulling her fingers and playing with them. Xia Chuxiao did not shake them off, as she was recalling something in her head.
Suddenly there was a loud "bang" sound.
Xia Chuxiao was protected and was stunned for a moment.
Several people were startled, and Bai Zimu almost dropped his umbrella. He complained, "Another earthquake! How unlucky we are!"
Feng Pan touched his chest, looking hopeless, and sighed softly, "My little heart almost jumped out of my chest!"
"Go aside, Xiao Taotao isn't crying yet! You're the one shouting," Bai Zimu said, raising his eyebrows.
"He's crying, look." Feng Pan looked at Xiao Taotao's frightened expression, and Bai Zimu had also seen it.
Bai Ziyue's forehead throbbed when he heard their words: These two...
Xia Chuxiao glanced over with a cold look, and Feng Pan and the other man chuckled and tried to change the subject.
Xia Chuxiao looked back again and saw that half of the hill behind her had collapsed, making a loud noise. Some survivors were directly crushed underneath, and the timid survivors nearby were frightened and cried! Then several soldiers rushed to rescue them.
Xiao Taotao was just frightened and lay fearfully in Li Weiwei's arms, his little mouth pouted in fear and grievance, his watery eyes rolling around, and a few tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. Li Weiwei felt his fear and comforted him. Xia Chuxiao saw Xiao Taotao's aggrieved and frightened look and asked Sister Weiwei to put a children's headset on him.
"Let Xiao Taotao carry Weiwei from now on. Use this sling to carry Xiao Taotao! It's tiring to carry him like this."
"We have to walk now. We don't know how long it will take, and it's drizzling."
"Yeah," Li Weiwei nodded. She also felt that it would be more convenient to carry Xiao Taotao on her back.
Lu Wei wanted to carry her on her back, but Xiao Taotao clung to Li Weiwei tightly, unwilling to leave her arms. Xia Chuxiao said calmly, "Xiao Taotao must be scared and feels safer with her mother."
Li Weiwei and Xia Chuxiao looked at each other, and finally she carried Xiao Taotao on her back in front, and Xia Chuxiao helped her tie the rope.
"Sister-in-law, how should we go? It's too dangerous here. It sinks from time to time." Feng Pan looked at the sinking ground on the opposite side, shivered, and asked.
Xia Chuxiao explained the situation to the elders. After hearing his question, she said to everyone, "Next, let's follow the soldiers."
"Yeah," several people responded.
At this time, the soldiers were already discussing the next step. They heard that his signal was blocked and they could not send out a distress message. They could only escape by walking out of here.
Xia Chuxiao and the others looked over and saw three soldiers walking towards them. The leading soldier, who was wearing a different uniform, saluted Uncle Gong and the others with a serious expression, and then the two soldiers next to him followed suit.
"Hello, Commander! I am Captain Chen of the 189th Legion."
"Hello, Commander! I am the deputy captain of the 189th Legion." Two soldiers also greeted him.
When Gong Hao saw them like this, his expression became complicated.
They chatted for a while, Xia Chuxiao heard their conversation and roughly understood what they meant.
I originally planned to follow the army, but now I have to go the other way around. Instead, it is Captain Chen who comes to ask for help.
