"Bang"
"Boom!"
After a chaotic tumbling collision, the escape pod was turned over, with Jiang Ning and the others upside down.
Fortunately, it is not vertical, but slightly inclined.
The soil loosened and the center of gravity device slowly moved downward. It took a long time to adjust it.
Over the next two hours, there were several more earthquakes. The escape pod got stuck on a boulder and stopped falling. The shaking was not as strong as before.
This must be an aftershock.
The escape capsule is specially designed for earthquakes and tsunamis. Shock absorption and earthquake resistance are its major features, especially the seat settings, which protect important parts of the body.
Even so, Jiang Ning could still feel the strong earthquake.
Even the escape pods were thrown into the air. The survivors who had no protective measures were not only scorched by the scorching sun, but also devastated by the earthquake. The scene was unimaginable.
The cabin was silent. Afraid that the two kids would worry and get scared, Jiang Ning specially turned on some soothing light music to calm their tense nerves.
It was already noon, but aftershocks could come at any time, so she was not in a hurry to go out. "Are you hungry?"
"Woof."
The world is big, but dogs are the most enthusiastic about eating.
Don't even think about any soup or water, otherwise an aftershock will splash it all over the escape pod.
Jiang Ning gave it steamed buns.
Eating is like fighting a war, you have to swallow it in one bite.
Doudou was eating a red bean paste bun. Jiang Ning handed her a kettle with a straw, but he didn't let her drink too much for fear that she wouldn't be able to hold her urine.
After serving the two, Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning started eating, both finishing quickly.
The escape capsule is cramped, but it is well insulated and doesn't feel stuffy thanks to the oxygen bags.
Although he was stuck in the crack of the ground, Doudou fell asleep unknowingly because he had his brother and sister-in-law by his side and was listening to relaxing music.
The dog left the trainer's arms, landed gently on the ground, and stretched his numb muscles.
Jiang Ning was also sleepy, "When are we going out?"
"Wait a little longer?" In Huo Yishen's memory, there were still aftershocks until the next day, but the intensity was weakened.
Stuck in the thrilling gully, Jiang Ning was a little worried, "Can we get up?"
The bad thing about space is that you can come out from the same place you entered.
The view through the glass window is not comprehensive, but with Huo Yishen's ability, as long as the earthquake stops, there are always more solutions than problems.
He said, "You take a rest, I'll keep watch."
It is unknown when the earthquake will end, and we probably won’t be able to go home for a while, so one of us must stay awake at all times.
Jiang Ning dozed off for a while but didn't fall asleep.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, there had been no aftershocks for two hours, and it would soon be dark. It was not a good idea to be stuck like this, so we had to find a way to get out.
Huo Yishen unbuckled his seat belt and looked through the glass window. "The door is not far from the boulder. I can jump onto the boulder and then find a way to climb up the crack."
When a person moves, the weight they bear increases.
Afraid that the rocks and soil could not support the cabin, Jiang Ning checked the cabinets in the cabin and put the food prepared in advance into the space, which actually reduced a lot of weight.
Then he took out the Flying Tiger Claw, climbing rope, spike shoes, hand pick, and first aid kit from the cabinet and gave them to Huo Yishen.
After putting on his equipment, Huo Yishen comforted his anxious sister, "Don't be afraid, listen to your sister-in-law."
"Well, be careful, brother."
After opening the cabin door, Huo Yishen observed the surrounding situation.
The escape capsule was stuck more than ten meters below the ground, the hatch was some distance away from the boulder, and the soil was very loose after the earthquake.
Huo Yishen fired the Flying Tiger Claw, but it was difficult to find a fixed object in the deserted grassland, so he tried more than ten times before he succeeded.
He tied the rope around his waist and said, "Sit tight and wait for me."
After saying that, he jumped.
Jiang Ning's heart was stuck in his throat. He was suspended in mid-air. If he failed to jump, there would be a crack of dozens of meters below.
Fortunately, he had good skills and landed on the boulder without any danger.
As his body fell on the boulder, Huo Yi deeply felt the looseness.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he calmly warned, "Aning, the rock is unstable, close the hatch."
"Be careful and don't be too stubborn."
Seeing that he had stabilized, Jiang Ning returned to his seat and fastened his seat belt, but his heart was uneasy.
I hope nothing happens to him.
The soil was loose and difficult to step on, but Huo Yi had extensive experience in high-altitude climbing and rescue, so he climbed up carefully with the help of spiked shoes and a pickaxe.
Halfway up the mountain, there was a sudden loud noise under my feet.
Jiang Ning's eyes followed his body, but his body suddenly sank.
The boulder fell, and the escape pod fell again...
"Brother." Doudou blurted out in surprise.
The escape pod fell more than ten meters before it got stuck again.
Jiang Ning quickly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Doudou, brother will be fine."
Within the visible range of the glass, all you can see is rolling down the ground.
Hearing the sudden sound under his feet, Huo Yishen couldn't help but look down. Seeing the escape pod falling down, he was worried but did not stop climbing.
The escape pod can withstand attacks from boulders or mudslides and will not be a problem for a short period of time.
The only thing he had to do now was to rescue them.
The climbing rope suddenly showed signs of loosening, probably because the fixings could not bear the weight.
In a flash, Huo Yi pushed hard with his feet, grabbed the ground with his hands, and climbed up with the help of his extraordinary waist strength.
The ground at the edge collapsed and the soil continued to slide into the deep ditch.
Huo Yishen walked to a safe place, hammered the nails into the ground, tied a rope to it, and threw the rope down to the edge of the cliff.
Noticing the light flickering, Jiang Ning looked towards the glass hatch and noticed a rope swinging.
She tied the climbing safety belt around Doudou and said, "Don't be afraid and don't look down. I will pull you up."
"Sister-in-law, what about you?"
"You go up first, I'll wait a moment."
Open the hatch and use the hook to hook the rope and tie it to the safety belt.
Doudou, her body suspended in the air, looked up at her brother who was pulling her up in the scorching sun, and tears suddenly flowed out.
Doudou landed safely, and it was Gouzi's turn next, who was quickly hoisted up.
Huo Yishen ordered the two, "Go to the back and help pull the rope."
The two were obedient, one pulled with both hands and the other bit with its mouth.
The moment Jiang Ning's body was suspended in the air, he put the escape capsule into the space.
The distance was nearly 30 meters, and she was afraid that the people above could not hold her, so she used her hands and feet to step on the mud, and finally climbed up after a lot of effort.
What greeted her was Huo Yishen's embrace, "Are you okay?"
"fine."
"Are you scared?"
Jiang Ning wanted to say that he was not afraid, but then he changed his mind and said, "I was quite scared at first, but I am not afraid anymore with you here."
I've been reading a lot of emotional magazines recently and I want to improve my emotional intelligence.
As expected, men are easily satisfied. Huo Yishen patted her on the back and said, "It's okay. I'm here."
It was not even six o'clock yet, but the sun was still glaring and scorching. Even with the constant temperature clothing protecting me, I was still sweating like roasted pork belly on an iron plate.
Jiang Ning looked around and saw factories collapsed, landslides, cracked ground, and everything was in ruins and devastation.
This is the destructive power of a major earthquake, which destroys everything beyond recognition and makes it impossible to recognize what it originally looked like.
