"What's going on?"
Sun Zhou yelled immediately.
Then everyone felt the power coming from underground, and they all stood up quickly, but each of them was like a drunk, staggering from side to side, unable to keep their bodies steady.
Tornado had already jumped onto Lianyi's shoulder, clinging to it tightly, and his hair stood up again.
"Meow!" My dear cat, what's going on?
Lianyi also tried her best to keep her body steady, and then she saw a crack appearing under their feet, and the crack was constantly expanding.
"There's a crack, everyone retreat!"
Situ Yi reminded loudly.
Although they were warned, the ground was shaking so violently that they didn't have time to move. Tang Tianming was the first person to fall into the crack, followed by Sun Weifeng.
"Morning!"
"Weifeng!"
Lianyi couldn't just watch his teammate fall, so he could only shoot out the deadly thread wrapped around his wrist, first wrapping around Sun Weifeng who fell later, and then Tang Tianming who fell first.
Yuan Chongming was afraid that Lianyi would not be able to hold up the weight of two people and would pull him down, so he could only leap to Lianyi, hug her waist, and then drag her back little by little.
The earthquake was still going on, with rocks and soil falling into the cracks from time to time. The other people had already fallen to the ground because of their unstable bodies. Their faces were pale, and they prayed that the earth would not get angry again.
From time to time, the shouts of two people could be heard from the crack.
"You two should protect your heads."
Lianyi didn't care whether the two could hear her or not, she just tried her best.
After a long two minutes, the earthquake slowly calmed down, as if it was very satisfied with its devastation on the earth, and there were almost no aftershocks.
Lianyi was hugged by Yuan Chongming and fell to the ground, gasping for breath and her hands were shaking.
"Meow" My dear cat, are you still alive?
The cry of Xuanfeng finally brought Yuan Chongming back to his senses. He immediately released his hand from Lianyi's waist and asked nervously:
"How are they both?"
"I don't know, let's pull it up and see."
After making sure there would be no more earthquakes, Lianyi pulled the life-saving thread and easily pulled the two people up. Both of them were breathing, but just temporarily unconscious.
Tang Tianming was unlucky. He was hit on the head by something and his face was covered in blood. It looked scary. Sun Weifeng looked fine on the surface, but I don't know if he had any internal injuries.
"what to do?"
Chu Hong was wrapping gauze around Tang Tianming's head. They had requested a first aid kit when they went on the mission.
"Let's get them in the car first, and then rush back as quickly as possible. We don't know what the situation is at the base yet."
Yuan Chongming's brows were knotted. He was worried about his little nephew. He was afraid that something might happen to him. He really had no way to explain to his deceased sister and brother-in-law. He didn't know the severity of his two teammates' injuries and had to go back for treatment.
"Everyone, lend a hand."
Everyone helped Tang Tianming to lie on Sun Zhou's back, and Sun Weifeng was carried by Li Qian. The group walked towards the place where the van was parked before, but when they got there, there was no trace of the van, because a big crack had appeared there due to the earthquake, and the van fell directly into it, and could not be fished out even if they tried.
Well, we can only rely on Route 11. With two wounded men in tow, everyone has to take turns carrying them back. Tornado acts as a little guide and runs in the front.
Tornado is very smart. He can always find a place to stay and lead everyone smoothly towards Qimu City.
Due to the uncertainty of this mission, the vanguard team prepared ten days of dry food when they left. Also, because they were going up the sacred mountain, there were no supplies in the mountains and no one was left behind, so they had to carry all the food and drinks with them, which minimized the losses.
During the earthquake, only Tang Tianming and Sun Weifeng fell into the crack with their backpacks. The backpacks of the others were held tightly in their hands, so if everyone took a bite, neither of them would go hungry.
The two injured people woke up one after another. Tang Tianming felt dizzy and nauseous. He didn't even dare to turn his head, otherwise he would have felt dizzy. No doctor was needed to know that this was a symptom of concussion.
So Tang Tianming just lay there obediently and was carried forward. When Sun Weifeng woke up, he said that he had hit his chest against a big rock and it hurt a lot.
When everyone pushed open Sun Weifeng's clothes, they found that his chest was covered with bruises and blood. It was obvious that he was hit hard.
Yuan Chongming asked the man to lie down, then touched his ribs, and said with a sigh of relief:
"The ribs are not broken, but there may be bone fractures. I don't know if there are any problems with the internal organs. I will check again when I get back."
Everyone was relieved to hear that the ribs were not broken. However, they could no longer carry Sun Weifeng on their backs, so they found broken branches and made a simple stretcher to carry the wounded man forward.
Because they had a car and the road was easy to travel on, it took them two days and two nights to get here. But it was troublesome to go back because there were broken roads and deep ditches everywhere, so they had to take a detour. Fortunately, with Tornado leading the way, the detour was not far.
Ten days later, when they had run out of ammunition and food, they finally returned to their base.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the temporary settlement in front of them being split by a deep crack.
"You guys take them to see a doctor first. Situ and I will go find out the situation first and then meet you at the medical tent later."
Yuan Chongming wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the place where they had lived before, which had been split in two. A look of worry flashed across his face, but he finally fulfilled his duties as captain first.
"good."
Everyone separated temporarily, and Lianyi carried Xuanfeng to send the wounded first.
At this time, people were coming and going in the medical tent, and there were wailing sounds everywhere. It was the place with the most people, and the doctors and nurses were so busy that they had no time to rest, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.
Coupled with the smell of blood on the wounded, Lianyi and Xuanfeng wrinkled their noses. Who can blame the senses of a man and a cat for being so sharp? Lianyi could only say to Zhao Jia and Chu Hong:
"You stay with the two injured. I'll take Xuanfeng and go look for Jiayao and the Liu couple to see if they're still alive."
"Well, take care of yourself."
The two nodded. If Jiayao really died in the earthquake, Yuan Chongming would definitely not be able to bear it.
After leaving the medical tent, Lianyi touched Xuanfeng, secretly stuffed some dried fish into her baby's food, and also found an empty corner and got a can of meat for Xuanfeng.
On the way, she often secretly gave Xuanfeng extra meals. It was inconvenient for her but she couldn't let the little guy starve. Now she needed others to help her find someone, so naturally she had to provide him with good food and drink.
After Tornado had eaten and drunk his fill, he licked his paws and meowed twice to Ripple, indicating that he was ready to start work.
Ripple smiled and nodded, then followed Tornado, watching it moving back and forth among the crowd, obviously smelling something.
Then the tornado moved further and further away, and there were basically no people around.
Lian Yi frowned and asked:
"Tornado, are you sure you are right?"
"Meow!" My dear cat, you must be right! Don't you even look at who I am?
"You continue."
The man and the cat walked around for a long time and finally returned to the Shanshui Huating community.
