For a moment, the people in the square were somewhat relieved that they did not follow them back.
The ground was shaking more and more violently, and everyone even had difficulty standing.
At this time, the ground began to make a huge tearing sound, and the ground cracked into huge cracks, some of which were bottomless. Some people who were unable to react in time fell directly. The square was immediately filled with panic and crying.
"Everyone, pay attention to your feet. If you see any cracks, avoid them in time." The base manager shouted loudly, but it seemed so small in the huge sound of the earthquake and the cries of the people.
Finally, the earth slowly calmed down.
The earthquake lasted for more than ten minutes. Li Xue didn't know what magnitude this earthquake was, but she felt that compared to the last earthquake in H Province, the disaster brought by this earthquake was more serious. Through the dust, Li Xue saw that the entire base was almost razed to the ground.
Everyone's face was filled with relief for surviving the disaster and sadness for losing their homes.
The base manager sent someone to register the number of missing people. Now the property losses in the base cannot be estimated, and there will be aftershocks. They can only wait until the earthquake subsides before returning to count.
Soon, the results of the statistics were handed over to the base manager Jia Lin.
In this earthquake, less than 30 people were missing. Jia Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he took the news sent by Guo Qing seriously. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
After arranging personnel to resettle the people in the base, Jia Lin walked towards Guo Qing's team.
Guo Qing was organizing the team members to distribute masks. The dust in the air was too heavy. Seeing Jia Lin coming, he hurried to greet him: "Mr. Jia, do you need any help?"
Jia Lin bowed to him, and Guo Qing quickly stopped him: "Mr. Jia, what are you doing?"
Jia Lin stood up: "I really want to thank Captain Guo for the information, otherwise the base would be in danger this time."
"Mr. Jia, you don't have to be polite. As a member of the base, we must hope that the base is safe. It is also because Mr. Jia is willing to believe in us that the people in the base can successfully escape the disaster." Guo Qing did not think he had much credit. When Li Xue told him the news at first, he did not believe it.
"How did Captain Guo know there would be an earthquake?" Jia Lin was quite curious about this.
"Actually, I don't know," Captain Guo leaned over and pointed at Li Xue standing next to him, "It was Miss Li who discovered it."
Jia Lin looked at Li Xue, who was wearing a large mask on her face, and said to her sincerely, "Thank you, Miss Li. If it weren't for your foresight, I'm afraid the loss of the base would be incalculable."
Li Xue waved her hand, "Mr. Jia, you're too polite. If it weren't for your wisdom, my information would be worthless." Her words were not official and polite. Jia Lin really put the safety of the people in the base first.
Jia Lin was also sincerely grateful to Li Xue. He recognized her through her clothes. She was the girl who came out to stop those people from leaving just before the earthquake.
"The safety of everyone in the base this time is all thanks to the information you provided, Miss Li and Captain Guo. On behalf of all the people in the base, I would like to thank you."
Jia Lin said, turning to look at Li Xue: "Miss Li, if you are interested, I hope you can join the management of our base." He really wanted to recruit her. This Miss Li looked inconspicuous, but based on his experience of seeing countless people, he knew that she was a person with great abilities.
Li Xue said hurriedly, "Thank you Mr. Jia for your kindness, but I have to go back to H Base. My friends and relatives are waiting for me there. I am really sorry."
When Jia Lin heard what Li Xue said, he could not hide his disappointment and said, "In this case, I can't hold you back. If Miss Li needs help, please ask. I will do my best to help."
Jia Lin thanked Li Xue and Guo Qing again and again and left. As the manager of the base, he had to find a way to settle everyone.
Li Xue looked at the base that was no longer recognizable and the dilapidated ground under his feet, and sighed in his heart. The way back to H Base would be even more difficult.
It was ten days later when the earthquake completely subsided.
During these ten days, they experienced countless aftershocks of varying sizes.
People in the end times are strong. When faced with the base that was almost razed to the ground, they were only sad for a while, and then began to actively rebuild the base.
As the manager of the base, Jia Lin rushed to the front line, commanding the superpowers to repair the base that was riddled with holes.
Li Xue and Lin Miao were also busy. They followed the women in the base, helping to cook, take care of the wounded and some young children. Haohao followed her and saw so many scenes of people struggling to survive in the end times that he became much more stable. He also understood how luxurious his life was and how hard it was to come by.
Guo Qing was valued by Jia Lin during this earthquake, and he was busy in and out with Jia Lin every day. The affairs of their team have been temporarily handed over to the deputy captain Zheng Liang.
On this day, Guo Qing brought news from outside.
After this earthquake, the situation outside is similar to that of the base. Everywhere has been destroyed by the earthquake, and City A almost sank into the ground.
"There are only a few high-rise buildings left in the entire city of A. The rest are completely gone, and the water level of the entire urban area has dropped. As for the road surface, it is completely impossible to drive on it, and even walking is very difficult."
Li Xue was silent after hearing this. Although she expected the situation to be a little bad, she didn't expect it to be so serious.
"If it really doesn't work, just stay." Guo Qing once again tried to keep Li Xue. He had selfish motives. As long as Li Xue didn't leave, Lin Miao would naturally stay.
Li Xue shook her head: "Thank you Captain Guo for your kindness, but my family and friends are still waiting for me. I will go back even if I have to walk on my own two legs."
Guo Qing saw that Li Xue was determined to go, so he didn't persuade her anymore.
For two days in a row, Li Xue was a little worried about leaving. She had already seen the situation outside the base herself. Guo Qing told her the situation in a relatively tactful way.
It was almost impossible to find the original appearance outside. The whole earth was torn into pieces, and cracks of all sizes crisscrossed and covered the entire earth. Some were bottomless, and some were still steaming, as if hot magma could erupt from inside in the next second.
All the roads were broken into sections, some places collapsed, and some roads were squeezed together.
The whole world is broken down like huge puzzle pieces scattered on the ground. There is a despairing desolation between heaven and earth.
Human beings are so fragile and insignificant in front of nature that they can't stand a single blow.
