Chapter 63 Meteorite
Everyone was lying on the ground groaning in pain as waves of heat came over them. Jiang Si reached out and touched his back; the clothes on his back had melted and were sticky like molten lava.
Suddenly, a bony hand stretched out in front of her. Jiang Si grabbed Qin Shen's hand and stood up, hurried to check on Shen Baoying and the others.
Everyone's backs had burns of varying degrees. Jiang Si picked up the bag and wanted to get medicine from it. Several people walked out from the inside of the rock wall. They were the old man's sons and daughters-in-law.
Because they hid in the rock wall in time, they were not seriously injured. When they saw their old father lying on the ground unconscious, they did not help him up, but instead set their eyes on Jiang Si and the others' backpacks.
The short and stocky-looking man was called Liu Ling. Seeing that Jiang Si and the others had suffered injuries of varying degrees, lying on the ground in a mess, seemingly unable to resist, he narrowed his eyes, took two steps at a time, and reached out to grab the emergency kit closest to him.
Before his hand touched the emergency kit, Qin Shen kicked him away.
Liu Ling hit the stone wall hard, and the broken stones fell down. He felt dizzy and his internal organs were about to be knocked out.
Liu Ling's two younger brothers, Liu Hong and Liu Xuan, were tall but very timid. Qin Shen kicked Liu Ling away, shattering the stone wall along with him. They were so scared that they felt cold all over and retracted their feet in an instant.
The other people around the stone wall were immediately frightened and huddled quietly around with a look of panic on their faces.
Liu Ling's wife is a fierce one. After being kicked like this, Liu Ling rushed forward to fight with Qin Shen, "You dare to hit my husband, I will kill you!"
Liu Ling grabbed the corner of her clothes, his eyes fell on the face of the old man who was lying on the ground, and said weakly to his two younger brothers: "Go see how Dad is doing!"
He hadn't shown any concern for the old man before, so Liu Hong and Liu Xuan found it strange. However, they listened to him and went up to the old man and pushed him, "Dad, Dad, Dad...?"
After calling out several times, the old man didn't respond at all. Liu Hong reached out his hand and looked inside. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said to Liu Ling in panic, "Brother, Dad is dead!"
Liu Ling's eyes lit up with calculation. He pointed at Qin Shen and said, "Everyone is fine, but my dad is dead! You must have used him as a shield and killed him. You also beat me so badly that I was seriously injured. You must compensate us for our losses! Compensate for my dad's life!"
Jiang Linhai lowered his eyes and looked at the old man with his eyes closed. "We kindly brought him in, and we haven't asked you to pay for his losses yet! Do you have any shame in asking us to pay for it?"
It was obvious that the old man was frail and old, and he died from a shock. It had nothing to do with Qin Shen.
If Liu Ling had any dignity, he wouldn't have abandoned his old father. He forced himself to stand up, his eyes cold as he said, "If you hadn't meddled in other people's business, my father would definitely not have died. You killed my father, so you must compensate! Otherwise, even if we sacrifice our lives, we won't let you off easily!"
There was boiling molten lava outside. Liu Ling was sure that Jiang Si would not dare to fight them to the death. He was ready for negotiations and was thinking of getting at least four emergency kits.
Liu Ling was making a wishful calculation. Jiang Si sneered and calmly took out a gun from his pocket: "Do you want compensation?"
Jiang Si actually has a gun!
Liu Ling looked incredulous, and the others were terrified.
Fortunately, they did not provoke Jiang Si and the others.
How could ordinary people have guns!
Liu Ling was sure that the gun in Jiang Si's hand could not be a real gun, and cursed: "It's a child's toy, who are you trying to fool? I tell you, my dad..."
Before he finished speaking, "Bang——"
The bullet passed through Liu Ling's trouser leg and shot into the stone wall.
Jiang Si's eyes were sharp. He blew on the gun hole and looked at Liu Ling, who was frightened and wet his pants. "What about your dad?"
Liu Ling was trembling, his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak. Liu Ling's wife's legs were shaking, and the other two brothers wished that a ditch would appear on the ground so they could squeeze them in.
Others who were ready to take advantage of the chaos to steal things were completely scared after seeing Jiang Si shooting.
If it weren't for the boiling magma outside and the fire sparks in the sky, many people would have fled long ago.
Jiang Si held the gun in his hand and it was difficult for him to apply medicine to everyone.
Qin Shen took over Jiang Si's job with ease, and in a short while, he had treated everyone's injuries.
Seeing that they had medicine for their wounds, the shivering crowd felt a surge of excitement in their hearts, but they were afraid of the gun in Jiang Si's hand and did not dare to get close.
Shen Baoying applied good medicine to Jiang Si, and Jiang Chengwu wanted to apply medicine to Qin Shen, but Qin Shen shook his head and said, "I'm not hurt."
Jiang Chengwu thought he was showing off, and when he looked at the back of Qin Shen's hand, he was stunned.
Qin Shen's clothes were shattered, but he was not injured at all.
The shock wave was so strong just now that the old man Qin Shen was holding died. How could Qin Shen be okay?
Jiang Si frowned and looked at Qin Shen's face, trying to see the answer from his face. In response to her, it was still Qin Shen's unchanging deep eyes.
Jiang Chengwu was surprised: "You are so tough!"
Qin Shen nodded indifferently: "Yeah." He didn't think there was anything abnormal about himself at all.
Jiang Si withdrew his gaze. No matter how many secrets Qin Shen had hidden, as long as it was harmless to them, it was fine.
After everyone recovered, they began to observe the situation around the stone wall.
The reed field was turned into a sea of fire by the falling meteorite, the front of the stone wall was full of molten flint, and the sky was full of sparks.
The ground is like a big furnace. If they go out from here, they will become pork belly if they are not careful.
In short, don't think about leaving for the time being.
At least we have to wait until Mars in the sky cools down a little bit and the temperature on the ground cools down a little.
There were more than 30 people hiding under the stone wall, most of them were young and strong, with less than one-sixth of them being elderly or children.
Their faces were filled with dejection, hunger, sorrow, and sadness, and they were constantly worried about the future.
Jiang Si and the others didn't have to worry about food and safety for the time being, but looking at the world in front of them, they didn't feel much better.
They had finally managed to make the steamship prosperous and their lives were going on the right track, but suddenly disaster struck.
It's not a good idea to keep crowding here. These people will get really hungry and will definitely target them.
If they were all killed, the psychological trauma would be enough for everyone to suffer.
What's more, I don't know if meteorites will fall from above my head, which makes me feel very uneasy.
Jiang Linhai whispered to Jiang Si, "Which direction might be safer for us?"
According to the situation in the previous life, the north is naturally safer.
A northern base will also be established there. Shen Baoying was killed by Sun Xiu and Shen Fu when she was on a mission. She is extremely opposed to the northern base from the bottom of her heart.
But the order of natural disasters in this life has completely changed, and whether there will be a northern base is also a question.
Jiang Si pondered for a moment and said, "Let's get ready and leave here tomorrow morning, heading north!"
"Okay!" Anyway, we have to choose a direction to set off, so it's always right to listen to Jiang Si.
In order to have a smooth journey, everyone found several stones in the cave, and when they encountered a place where they could not move forward, they stepped on the stones to get through.
The other people in the cave followed their example and started looking for stones everywhere.
