"Wake up! There's an earthquake!"
Late at night, Lin Xue was dreaming when she heard 629's reminder.
She rolled out of bed and started shaking the people around her frantically.
"earthquake?"
"Everyone, get up and pack your things, let's get out of here right now!"
Ellie didn't expect an earthquake to happen at this time, but it's better for it to happen at night than during the day. It's a bit cold, but the temperature will change during an earthquake.
"Oh my god, Yao Yao, what's wrong?"
"Yaoyao?"
At this critical moment, unexpectedly, someone in the team got into trouble.
Previously, no one had paid much attention to it, only thinking that Yao Yao was just feeling a little unwell, and since she herself hadn't said anything, Lin Xue didn't take it to heart.
It wasn't until the earthquake struck and Yu Yang couldn't wake Yao Yao that he realized she was sick.
"Let's pack our things first. Zhang Feng, you and Ai Qing help them carry their things!"
"Yu Yang, carry Yao Yao on your back, we need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
Ignoring her own discomfort, Ellie hoisted all her and her brother's belongings onto her back and rushed out of the cave.
Lin Xue had already packed her things. She reached out and took a package from Ellie's hand, which was her way of helping her carry the load.
"Thanks!"
In a critical moment, no one can think about anything else.
After packing his things, he carried Yao Yao on his back and rushed out of the cave.
The outside temperature was indeed not as cold as usual; the whole ground was shaking.
"Get out of this rocky area quickly and find a flat spot to lie down!"
They are right next to a rock wall, and if the mountain collapses, they could very well be buried inside.
Now we can only try to stay away from the mountains and find flat areas to wait for the earthquake to pass.
"Run! The mountain is collapsing!"
Yu Yang was carrying Yao Yao on his back and was walking at the back, so he was the first to notice the strange phenomenon happening to the mountain behind them.
Hearing Yu Yang's words, everyone quickened their pace.
Now is a race against time, and no one dares to be careless.
Even if one or two packages were lost on the way, there was no time to rescue them; everyone was running forward for their lives.
Things can be retrieved after the earthquake, but if people are slow to react, they might perish here.
"This way, everyone come here!"
Fortunately, Ellie quickly found a place where everyone could take temporary shelter.
This is a flat area, with no mountains on any side.
The group lay prone on the ground, constantly watching their surroundings. If any cracks appeared in the ground, they would have to keep running.
"Yaoyao?"
Yu Yang held Yao Yao in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
Lin Xue thought for a moment and tried to take the medicine out of her spatial storage.
Unfortunately, neither fever reducers nor cold medicine could be taken out.
In the end, they could only manage to pull out a set of secondhand silver needles that they had used before.
She is now incredibly grateful that she studied traditional Chinese medicine; otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do without medicine.
"Let me take a look. Could you watch my package for me?"
Lin Xue's package was the most valuable in the group, since she had the most food.
"ah?"
Upon hearing Lin Xue's words, Yu Yang paused for a moment before handing Yao Yao over to her.
"Lin Xue took out a set of silver needles from her bosom and, to everyone's astonishment, gave Yao Yao acupuncture treatment!"
"Cough cough cough!"
"Water, water!"
After being pricked by the silver needle, Yao Yao woke up quickly.
But she felt her mouth was as dry as cracked earth, and all she wanted was a sip of water to relieve the burning sensation in her body.
Do you still have water there?
Ellie looked anxiously at everyone.
"I...I still have one more bite!"
Zhang Feng took out a water bottle from his bag; there was only one last drop of water left in the bottle.
Even when he was very thirsty these past few days, Zhang Feng couldn't bear to drink it.
He was worried about unexpected situations, and he never thought of drinking his last sip of water until his life was in danger.
"Thanks, bro!"
Yu Yang hugged Zhang Feng gratefully and then took the water bottle from his hand.
I carefully fed Yao Yao the last sip of water before she finally came to her senses.
"Yu Yang, Ellie!"
"Sister Xue!"
When Yao Yao woke up, she looked at the people surrounding her and realized that her illness was quite serious.
I've been sick before, but I always managed to tough it out.
She thought this time would be like before, that she could just tough it out, but little did she know she almost didn't make it.
"Rest for a while and have something to eat!"
"Ellie, you guys keep an eye on the luggage!"
Seeing that the person had finally woken up, it seemed that they wouldn't be able to recover anytime soon.
Lin Xue stood up and tried to move to the side, ignoring the tremors of the ground.
"Sister Xue, where are you going?"
Ai Qing glanced at Lin Xue with some concern. Even if it was necessary to use the restroom, it was best for everyone not to separate at this time.
At worst, the men can just close their eyes.
"An earthquake is a disaster for survivors, but it's also an opportunity for us!"
"I won't go far. Take care of yourselves. Even if we get separated, I'll find a way to catch up with you!"
After saying that, Lin Xue quickly ran away and disappeared.
629 had already exploded in her mind.
"Host, there's a large snake to your left; it's swum out from underground!"
"There's another gray rabbit ahead, and this one isn't any thinner than the one you caught last time!"
"And another thing, oh! It's a mouse! Host, would you like a mouse?"
Hearing the loud and boisterous sounds, Lin Xue felt excited as well.
"We don't want the rats, but we'll catch everything else!"
This time, Lin Xue only brought a personal bag and a large sack. She left all her other supplies with the team, who would surely take good care of them for her.
Holding a kitchen knife, Lin Xue quickly spotted the large snake.
After being altered by the wasteland planet, it's impossible to tell what kind of snake it originally was.
It was entirely yellowish-brown, and its round head made it look rather dim-witted.
Regardless, Lin Xue still felt a bit uneasy about the legless snake, so she used her knife like a throwing knife and slashed at the snake's vital spot.
"Cut in two with one stroke!"
"pretty!"
The system's flattery appeared at the right time. Lin Xue was worried that the snake's head was not dead yet, so she picked up the second half and put it in her pocket.
Then he pulled out the kitchen knife that was stuck in the ground, slapped the snake's head a few more times, and then picked it up and put it in his pocket.
"Hurry, host! That gray rabbit is about to escape!"
Following the warning from 629, others were frantically fleeing for their lives or lying on the ground waiting for the earthquake to pass.
Only Lin Xue leaped and bounded about, like a monkey, catching those fleeing small animals in various dangerous environments.
Danger is accompanied by opportunity.
And look, the harvest is plentiful!
A large bag of prey would be enough for them to eat for a long time.
