Tang City
Concrete buildings collapsed one after another, four-story buildings were reduced to ruins, and the ground was cracked with several large cracks, looking like a monster swallowing. The residents' bungalows were no longer visible, and there were traces of collapse everywhere.
The moment the earth shook, no trace of any buildings could be seen in the surrounding area, as they had all been swallowed up. Huge pits appeared one after another, and buildings collapsed one after another. More importantly, all the buildings were completely wiped out by a pair of giant hands, leaving no trace of their existence.
The troops received the order early on, and even though they were mentally prepared, they were still relieved when they saw the scene before them.
Fortunately, the people of Tang City escaped the disaster. Even if not all of them did, the losses were so small that no one cared. As long as people are alive, there is a chance to start over.
"Captain... Captain... Do you think this is weird or not?"
"Yeah! If it hadn't been predicted, I don't think we would have had the chance to react at all."
It was early morning. It wasn't daytime, nor was it nighttime; it was the wee hours of the morning. Everyone was asleep. Disaster struck suddenly. Who could react? Even if someone was lucky enough to escape, facing a city littered with ruins and the constant aftershocks, who could guarantee they wouldn't get hurt?
"Yes. Everyone, get to work. We must salvage as many supplies and medicines as possible."
People were evacuated, but the occasional aftershocks still left many injured. More importantly, this was a major disaster, affecting a vast area. The predicted location wasn't particularly precise. They were prepared, but it wasn't enough to face this crisis.
Rescue, rescue... everyone was busy working nervously. Compared with the disaster in Chen Yun's memory, the casualties this time were obviously reduced to the lowest and the losses were also smaller.
The people above were celebrating their success, while those below were also expressing their luck in surviving. It was truly wonderful, and the feeling of happiness at having escaped a disaster was overwhelming everyone's hearts. At this moment, everyone's hearts were connected, and everyone worked together to carry out the rescue plan.
The people of Xiashan Village began to take stock of their losses. Their mud houses had collapsed, unable to hold on. The only good thing was that the mountains around them were solid, with no signs of landslides or collapses.
"Ancestors bless you! Ancestors bless you!"
"What a miracle! The ancestors appeared."
The older generation of villagers kept praising their ancestors for their protection, believing it was their ancestors who were protecting them in this incident. Otherwise, why did their village suffer the least damage? Look at the neighboring villages, there were casualties, and more importantly, heavy losses.
"Fortunately, we all listen to the clan leader and the village chief."
"Yes, yes, we are all good and obedient babies."
"I agree with this. If we hadn't been obedient, we could have really encountered the tragedy in the next village."
Only with comparison can we have enough sense of pride and happiness. Look at their lives and then look at those villages next door. They are simply the standard winners in life who win without doing anything.
"Niuniu...Niuniu...Do you still have those medicine powders?"
"Yes... Dad, what's wrong?"
"Hey... stop talking, just give me the powder."
Shen Chenfeng didn't dare to delay. During this period, the lives of those who were rescued were delayed by these medicinal powders. The situation was urgent, and fortunately, his daughter had a full stock of herbs, otherwise he really didn't dare to speak.
"Well, Dad, these are for stopping the bleeding, and these are for stopping the pain."
After emptying his small warehouse and giving it to his father, Shen Yun stared at the herbs in his hands in a trance. He had to go gather herbs again, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make the powder. Also, the army needed quite a large amount, but he didn't know if the master had arranged everything properly. Brother Maidong hadn't been home for several days, so he didn't know how things were going.
"Niuniu...are these herbs what you need?"
"Yes! Look, aren't these the ones? There are still quite a few on the mountain, and we picked them all up for you while we still have time."
Chen Feng and Chen Yu held the herbs in their arms, not caring about getting dirty. They knew that these herbs could be transformed into life-saving medicines, and they all wanted to do their best to help.
"Yes, thank you, brother."
Chen Yun glanced through the herbs and nodded. These were indeed what she needed, but unfortunately, they needed to be dried before they could be used. Shen Yun was so busy preparing the herbs and drying them that she had no time to pay attention to the chaos outside, as everything was blocked out.
By the time Shen Yun finally came out of his mad state, everything had calmed down. The rescue was nearing its end. Everyone was dark and thin, except for a pair of eyes that were bright and shining.
“This…what is this?”
"Thanks to the timely rescue efforts and the power of the state, the earthquake has subsided. Even in Tang City, which was the hardest hit, only serious injuries were reported, with no fatalities."
"Well, even the hardest-hit areas didn't suffer too much damage thanks to timely rescue efforts and the subsequent stabilization of order."
"Niuniu, your powder has played a significant role. The head of the army will come to see you soon, and Grandpa Wen will be able to return to the capital after being rehabilitated because of this action."
Shen Feng and Shen Yu came up to their sister and talked about what had happened during this period, one thing after another that was dizzying.
"Master is going back to the capital?" Chen Yun looked at her brother in confusion. She felt happy and disappointed at the same time.
He was happy that his master had been vindicated and could return, but he was disappointed that after so many years together, he had completely treated his master as his own grandfather. It was unknown how long it would take for them to meet again, and Shen Yun's mood suddenly became low.
"Yes! Dad said that Grandpa Wen and the others will be returning to the capital soon."
"It's okay, actually. When Grandpa Wen returns to the capital, we can go see him."
Chen Feng patted his sister's head and comforted her. "Dad said that if she could take the college entrance examination in the future, she would definitely be a university student with her level. Capital University couldn't stop her, so the opportunity to meet Grandpa Wen was entirely possible."
"Yes! Sister, don't worry, I will take you to the capital to see Grandpa Wen when the time comes."
"I don't need you to take me there. I can go there myself."
Shen Yun rolled her eyes and looked at her brother proudly. She was not a three-year-old child. Moreover, she had a lot of medicinal powders with miraculous effects on her. There was no need to worry about traveling alone. She was not a weak woman without any weapons.
