Fortunately, the problem was discovered in time. After a check-up at the hospital, Gao Siyang was found to be fine. The doctor did not prescribe any new medication, but simply instructed him to continue taking the medication he was currently taking for one more treatment, which should be sufficient for him to recover.
Hospitals are currently experiencing a shortage of medicines, and for most patients, the doctor's role is limited to determining the cause of the illness; the patient's well-being largely depends on their own perseverance.
Gao Zhi and Liu Sisi took the child to the hospital and left. Seeing that there was nothing he could help with, Song Zhao went home to continue resting.
When they got into bed, Gu Yanzhi was fast asleep. Sensing the familiar presence, Gu Yanzhi skillfully found a comfortable position in Song Zhao's arms, snuggled closer, and continued to sleep.
On the first day of his vacation (not really) for reflection, Gu Yanlin slept in until he naturally woke up and finished the letter of self-criticism in just one hour.
"I'm such a genius," Gu Yanlin thought shamelessly, blowing on the two thin sheets of paper.
After indulging in self-admiration for a while, Gu Yanlin felt his internal organs protesting. He then put down the self-criticism, left the study, and shouted, "Sister, I'm hungry! Let's have barbecue tonight!"
“Sure, let me see what I need,” Gu Yanzhi readily agreed, Gu Yanlin’s suggestion was exactly what she wanted.
After the apocalypse, Gu Yanzhi had eaten hot pot at home quite often, but this was the first time she had thought of barbecue. As soon as Gu Yanlin mentioned it, Gu Yanzhi felt her mouth watering.
Unfortunately, they didn't get to eat the barbecue in the end. Just as the three of them were enthusiastically setting out the barbecue utensils on the balcony, the whole building suddenly shook, followed by a violent tremor.
Before Gu Yanzhi could even be shocked, Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin, who reacted swiftly, pulled her out. As they rushed past the door, they didn't forget to grab the clothes, hats, and masks hanging on the wall and continued running downstairs.
As Gu Yanzhi ran, her mind wandered far away.
Did C City experience earthquakes in her past life? She didn't recall any. She had been in C City until the extreme heatwave, and seemed to have never heard of any earthquakes in C City.
Gu Yanlin and Song Zhao didn't have time to go door-to-door to warn their neighbors; they could only run downhill shouting, "Earthquake! Run!"
"Earthquake! Run!"
Just as he reached the 15th floor, Gu Yanlin seemed to remember something, released his grip on Gu Yanzhi's arm, and ran upstairs.
"Yan Lin!" Gu Yanzhi shouted anxiously.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you two run first, I'll go help you." Gu Yanlin's voice and his back disappeared from Gu Yanzhi's sight.
The younger brother went to do a good deed, and his older sister and brother-in-law couldn't let him down.
Their hands, already clasped tightly together, gripped each other even tighter, as if giving each other courage or reassuring one another.
Then they let go of each other's hands and started to act separately. Song Zhao told Gu Yanzhi to go downstairs to notify people first. Time was of the essence, so Gu Yanzhi didn't argue and hurried downstairs.
The building was shaking so badly that almost no one could stand. Gu Yanzhi stumbled and ran downstairs. The Zhuang and Zhang families on the 14th floor reacted quickly and had already come out of their houses, helping each other's family members downstairs.
Seeing Gu Yanzhi being shaken and staggering, Zhang Qian let go of her hands that were supporting her parents, reached out and caught Gu Yanzhi. The two of them supported each other and followed Uncle Zhang downstairs.
Six people rushed out of Building 10 together and stood on the ice outside. Looking at the constantly swaying building in front of them, Gu Yanzhi's heart was pounding.
Inside the building, Song Zhao didn't even bother to knock. He kicked open the door to Sister Li's apartment on the 15th floor. Sister Li was helping her father stagger towards the door.
Upon seeing Song Zhao, Sister Li's eyes lit up. Before Sister Li could speak, Song Zhao quickly stepped forward, scooped up Grandpa Li, and ran out.
Fortunately, Zhong Junfeng and Yin Meng from next door had already rushed out of their house and run downstairs, so Song Zhao didn't have to waste time calling them again.
On the 16th floor, Gu Yanlin helped carry the two children, while the two men each carried their own mothers on their backs. Liu Sisi followed closely behind, also running out.
Seeing Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin appear one after the other, Gu Yanzhi's tense heart finally relaxed, and he quickly went forward to greet them.
Gu Yanlin, carrying his two children, was the last person to rush out of the stairwell. Just as he rushed out, the shaking became even more severe.
"Run! The building is collapsing!" someone shouted.
"Zhizhi, run!"
"sister"
The building did collapse, but it wasn't Building 10 that collapsed; it was Building 9 next door. However, the direction of the collapse was towards Building 10, which was diagonally in front of it.
Most of Building 9 was embedded in Building 10, and a small portion of it collapsed onto the open ground in front, hitting Gu Yanzhi.
Gu Yanzhi had just taken two steps forward to greet her husband and brother when she felt a shadow looming over her head, pelting her with broken bricks and concrete.
Her instinct was to run away, but after taking only two steps, she felt a pain in her leg and then knew nothing more.
When Gu Yanzhi woke up, she found herself lying in a tent with a brazier for warmth next to her.
She tried to move, but felt pain screaming from every part of her body, especially her legs, which were in excruciating pain. Gu Yanzhi couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Zhizhi, you're awake. Have some water first." When Song Zhao heard Gu Yanzhi speak, she quickly stopped cooking, picked up the water that had been warming on the fire basin, and gently helped Gu Yanzhi sit up to feed her a sip.
"What's wrong with me?" Gu Yanzhi felt her throat was a little hoarse as soon as she spoke. She licked her lips and took two more sips of water from Song Zhao's hand before she felt her throat recover.
"You were hit and injured, and your leg injury is quite serious. You need to rest for a while," Song Zhao explained softly to Gu Yanzhi.
"Are you feeling unwell now? Does your leg hurt?" Seeing that Gu Yanzhi had finished drinking the water, Song Zhao placed a blanket behind her so that she could lean against it and asked softly.
"It hurts, Zhao Zhao, it hurts so much. Am I going to be crippled?" Gu Yanzhi's voice was pitiful, and Song Zhao felt so sorry for her.
"What are you talking about? No, the doctor said your leg didn't break any bones or nerves, it's all just a superficial injury. It will heal after a while."
"If it hurts, take some painkillers after you finish eating."
Hearing Song Zhao say this, Gu Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief; at least he wasn't crippled. Relaxing, he realized he hadn't eaten in a long time, and his stomach was now completely empty.
"How long until dinner is served?"
"immediately"
"How many days have I been asleep?"
Just one day
Where is Yan Lin?
"He went on a rescue mission and will be back tonight."
Are you both alright? Are you hurt?
"It's okay, we're both perfectly healthy and energetic."
Where is everyone?
"Everyone else is fine, only you were unlucky enough to get hit by a flying brick."
