Chapter 123

Terrible seam

The entire ground shook violently, and several people were about to vomit.

Then the ground was moving backwards rapidly.

The scenery in front of me suddenly became blurry.

"Bang!"

There was a loud, dull thud.

The rift, which is more than 150 meters wide, is closing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dust rose into the sky.

A small hill in the distance was actually swallowed up, leaving only a lonely corner, proving that there was once a hill here.

The buildings in the distance also disappeared. Half of the community and the ruins of several buildings were completely swallowed up by the cracks in the ground.

The shaking on the ground finally subsided.

The few of them finally had the chance to sit up and stared blankly at the scene in front of them, their throats rolling.

The scene was really shocking.

They had never seen such a terrible hell on earth.

Yes, it is purgatory on earth.

At this time, the earthquake finally stopped. They gasped for breath, staring in amazement at the hellish scene before them, unable to speak for a long time.

The earthquake lasted for more than twenty minutes.

Although the time was not long, it felt unusually long when you were there.

This earthquake felt like it was going to wipe out all of humanity.

The strong earthquake destroyed everything like a rotten wood with a devastating force.

The ground was cracked and broken everywhere, and the whole city had turned into a ruin, full of devastation.

Fang Xin quickly pulled the two elders up and away from this terrible crevice.

It was estimated that there would be aftershocks, so the three of them first found a spacious place to settle down and could not go back for the time being.

The worst thing to do at this time is to avoid running around or moving around.

I don't know what the base looks like now.

The three of them hiked to an open space. There were no signs of cracks in the ground, and there were no mountain buildings nearby.

The three men were covered in dust, their faces and bodies were covered with sand, and they sat directly on the ground.

The two elders looked pale, still a little scared. Who wouldn't be scared?

After the three of them caught their breath, they felt a little relieved.

Only then will they have time to treat their own injuries.

There was a large patch of skin on Grandma Li's knee, with blood oozing out.

There is also a bruise on the arm, probably caused by the fall just now, but the injury is not serious.

Fang Xin opened the first aid kit and treated Grandma Li's wound first.

Grandpa Li also rolled up his arms and disinfected himself with iodine.

Fang Xin took care of Grandma Li's injuries before taking care of his own.

Her right shoulder ached slightly, and when she took off her clothes, she could see large bruises. Even half of her back was bruised. She probably fell hard, but fortunately, her skin was not broken.

In this case, ice should be applied, which would help faster, but that definitely wouldn't work right now, so she took out a bottle of Panax notoginseng from the first aid kit.

I first drank a sip of water to rinse out the sand in my mouth, and then ate two slices of Panax notoginseng.

Fang Xin also put three small bottles of mineral water in the first aid kit in case of emergency.

Fang Xin was also very thirsty and finished the small bottle immediately.

Fang Xin handed the medicine to the two elders and said, "You two should take two pills too."

And then he carried the water over.

The two were reluctant to waste water, so they drank from a bottle of water, but only took two sips to moisten their throats before stopping.

While several people were treating his injuries, Gouzi climbed out of the backpack and went to a distant place to solve the "urgent problem".

Then he lay down next to Fang Xin, wagging his tail.

The day passed peacefully without any aftershocks.

But a few people did not relax.

At night, the three of them sat on the ground and ate simple dry food because no one had an appetite.

The three people were still restless, even Fang Xin was still feeling a bit nervous, that feeling of fear was still beating in his heart.

He just chewed the dry biscuit in his mouth stiffly.

Even if you can't eat anymore, you have to eat something and not go on an empty stomach.

The only sound around was the sound of chewing.

The whole world was eerily quiet.

Even the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped.

Grandma Li wanted to pick up some dry firewood to start a fire, but was rejected by Fang Xin. In the dark night, light would attract the attention of other survivors. It would be safer to stay in darkness.

So the three of them slept directly on the ground. There was no light in the night sky. It was pitch black everywhere and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Fang Xin held the dog in her arms and slept uneasily. In her dream, she was running all the time, but she could not escape the pursuit of the ditch behind her.

Suddenly Fang Xin felt her body shaking again. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw the ground beneath her body shaking again. The aftershocks were coming.

She immediately got up and woke them up.

Although the tremor was not strong, we cannot let our guard down.

Gouzi crawled into Fang Xin's arms, seeking a sense of security.

Three pairs of eyes stayed in the pitch-black night until dawn.

His expression was tense, and he was paying attention to the aftershocks.

There were three consecutive aftershocks that night before they finally subsided.

Finally, the sky turned pale and it was daybreak.

The three of them finally made it to dawn and stood up to move their stiff limbs.

It felt like this day and night was particularly long.

"Do you want to go back?" asked Grandpa Li.

"Go back, it should be fine."

Fang Xin put the dog into his backpack and still didn't let it see anyone.

Without the van, the three people could only walk back.

Fang Xin looked at the crack in the ground without giving up. It was really seamless and there was no sign that there had ever been a crack in the ground there.

Alas, her van is gone. It seems she will have to build another one.

Seeing that Fang Xin still had to carry the dog, Grandpa Li picked up the first aid kit and walked back holding Grandma Li's hand.

The further we walked back, the more distressed we felt. The ground was devastated, the cement road was full of cracks, and it was badly damaged. There was dust and sand everywhere.

The three of them continued walking towards the base without stopping.

Occasionally, other survivors were seen crying on the road.

The closer you get to the base, the more survivors you will find.

Some were seriously injured, some were slightly injured, some were missing arms or legs, these people were basically the survivors who did not enter the base.

Now their homes have been destroyed and they have become homeless.

But they were also fortunate that at least they were still alive and not buried under the rubble.

Some people saw three of them, two of whom were carrying bags, blocking their way.

"Good man, please have mercy on us and give us something to eat."

"Please be kind, benefactor. We are all injured. Please give us something to eat."

Several people came up and tried to grab Fang Xin's backpack.

Fang Xin kicked him into the ruins and said, "If you are so pitiful, go and die!"

"Bang!"

When the man was kicked into the ruins, a steel bar pierced his heart directly. Blood stained the dust on the ground and flowed down along the steel bar.

Then Grandpa Li also raised his leg and kicked the other man away.

"Bang!"

This person was lucky; his body just fell into the rubble filled with bricks, and he was not stabbed by anything.

It is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. If you see that there is no profit at all, you may even lose your life if you are not careful.

Then they ran away quickly and did not dare to get close to them again.
