This was Xia Lunong's first time to truly face an earthquake.

He didn't know until today that objects in an earthquake would be shaken left and right instead of just up and down.

The truck was shaking violently on the ground, and the rice and metal parts inside the truck were shaken everywhere, and the parts collided with each other and made a "dong dong" sound.

Xia Lunong's cat-like face was full of fear, he felt like he was a dead leaf on a branch in the strong wind, in danger of falling at any time.

His brother hugged him tightly, and was careful to control the strength so as not to crush him.

The two brothers huddled together to resist the seemingly endless shaking.

Xia Lunong desperately hooked his claws on his brother's clothes, and his pair of emerald eyes were very big.

He huddled in his brother's arms, his long hair all stood up, his tail was almost stiff, and his face was filled with fear.

The others were not much better.

Luo Congqin, who was sitting opposite him, gritted his teeth, and from the expression on his face, he seemed to be about to cry.

Under such a violent shock, everyone seemed to have lost the concept of time.

Everyone waited resignedly, their expressions terrified and distorted.

The invisible pressure in the air came over, Xia Lunong felt the taste of blood in his mouth, and there was also the taste of blood in his brother's arms. There was a rumbling

sound of explosion in the distance, like a thunder, or like a mountain sliding down and crashing into the ground.

Xia Lunong's ears were particularly good, and in addition to these, he could also hear the sounds of various animals running wildly.

Wild boars, bison, wild sheep, wild horses, wild dogs... the mutated beasts seemed to have gathered into a torrent, rumbling past from afar, mixed with various miserable animal roars.

I don't know how long it took before the various movements around slowly stopped.

The car stopped shaking, and the roar outside also stopped, turning into an extremely quiet place.

The standard sounds of insects and birds in the wild completely disappeared, and the silence was so frightening.

"Hiss--" Luo Congqin struggled to get up with his hands and feet, limped to the wall of the car, and looked out.

Ba Niu's voice came weakly from the cockpit, "Is everyone okay?"

Yan Xinian looked at his team members one by one, and answered hoarsely, "Nothing serious, how about you?"

He let go of Xia Huoqu, his hand was stiff because he had held his arm for too long and deliberately controlled the strength.

Ba Niu's voice relaxed a little, and he panted, "I'm fine too."

There was rice in the car as a buffer, so no one was injured, and the disassembled parts were also fine. Several people checked it under the weak light and found no particularly large damage.

Everyone looked out of the car.

The vague yellow light in the sky outside had almost completely faded, leaving only a little grayish yellow base.

Under the gray-yellow night, the mountain stood there quietly, dark and terrifying.

Ba Niu rolled down from the driver's cab with a dusty face, staggered to the side of the rear wheel and held on, his Adam's apple rolling and exhaling hot breath, "It's too dangerous, should we rest here for a while and wait until dawn before rushing on the road?"

"Meow--!" Xia Lunong interrupted him, and the hoarse meow was full of anxiety.

Xia Huoqu smelled the blood on him, and his hand touched his furry head to his tail, "Are you hurt?"

Xia Lunong shook his head and patted his brother with his paw. Without waiting for others to reply, he called again, "Meow!"

The urging meaning was very obvious.

Yan Xinian immediately asked, "Xiao Nong, do you think it's unsafe here?"

"Meow!" The cat nodded his head, his eyes full of anxiety, and stretched out his claws to keep pulling his brother's hand.

Baniu wiped his face vigorously, "It's not safe here, and other places may not be safe either. There are so many mountains, so many trees, and there may be faults on the ground. If we encounter any of them, we will be in trouble."

"It's dangerous, but it's also dangerous here." Xia Huoqu said with a serious expression, "I believe in Xiao Nong's premonition. Turn on the car lights and drive slower. It's better to take a detour than to stay here."

Yan Xinian glanced at the others.

Conglan still had a faint expression, Liao Quannan was waiting for Yan Xinian's decision, and Luo Congqin's eyes were wide open, as if he was scared.

Yan Xinian retracted his gaze and patted Ba Niu on the shoulder, "I agree with Huo Qu's opinion. At this moment, intuition is more important than logic. Let's drive slowly and observe more. There will be no problem."

All three of Cong Lin left without objecting.

Ba Niu looked at this and that and had to agree, "Okay, let's go together for good or bad."

Ba Niu resigned himself to driving, and Yan Xinian stopped him, "I will drive the rest of the way myself."

Xia Huo Qu said, "I'll show you the way."

Yan Xinian and Xia Huo Qu were the best, and in such a dangerous moment, it would be much more reassuring to leave it to him.

Ba Niu gave him the car key, and the anger in his body seemed to have been released, and he slowly climbed up the rear.

Several people were exhausted and looked outside blankly.

Xia Lunong was carried to the passenger seat by his brother. He lay paralyzed on his brother's lap like a cat cookie, staring blankly at the night outside.

His head was throbbing and hurting all the time, and he felt uncomfortable all over his body, which made him unable to speak.

The truck drove out slowly, and no one was in the mood to talk.

Xia Lunong had sharp ears, and he heard a slight sob in the car.

It seemed to be Luo Congqin's voice.

Xia Huoqu sighed, "I don't know what's going on in the base now?"

Yan Xinian focused on the road illuminated by the headlights, and drove the car carefully around obstacles. "We have experienced so many earthquakes, and everyone has experience. Doctor Ou is here, so nothing will happen."

"I hope so."

"Pah--"

As they talked, a rain flower bloomed on the glass, and water droplets splashed everywhere, leaving a large mark.

Yan Xinian's face changed slightly, and he didn't have time to warn.

Raindrops hit the glass one after another, and the sound of pah became one, crackling, and the heavy rain enveloped the world in an instant.

Fortunately, there was a canopy on the car, which could temporarily avoid the rain, so that everyone would not be soaked.

The smell of rain was blown into the car with the wind.

The cool wind made Xia Lunong feel more comfortable. He lay sickly on his brother's lap, his emerald eyes staring blankly out of the car.

It was white outside the car. Even with the headlights on, he couldn't see anything more than three meters away.

In the heavy rain, the world seemed to be quiet.

Their car had not completely driven out of the mountainous area. Even though the mountains on both sides were just small slopes, not steep, and far from the road, there was still a risk of landslides.

Especially right after the earthquake, the mountain was fragile.

Yan Xinian grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, driving forward steadily and slowly, not daring to stop at all.

The car windows were tightly closed, and Xia Lunong seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, without any reaction.

Yan Xinian breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was so intuitive. If he hadn't reminded them just now, they would be trapped in the valley now.

The earthquake had just happened and it was raining heavily. The possibility of a barrier lake forming in the mountains was very high. If they stayed in the valley, they might face landslides and mudslides at any time.

The car was driving very slowly.

At this time, Yan Xinian no longer cared about the oil. He kept the high beams on to try to get the best view.

"Meow?" Xia Lunong, who was paralyzed on Xia Huoqu's knees, suddenly trembled her ears. She turned over and sat up, her eyes focused on the outside, as if she was looking at something.

Yan Xinian's heart sank, "What did Xiao Nong discover again?"

When they were not using the beast form, their vision was far inferior to Xia Lunong's. Even if they used the beast form, it might not be as good as his intuition.

Yan Xinian instinctively felt that something had happened up ahead.

Xia Lunong's cat-like face was full of confusion and even a little fear.

He couldn't speak, so he could only signal his two brothers to look in the direction of his gaze, but they saw nothing.

Xia Huoqu quickly took out a pen and paper and placed it under his paw, "What's wrong?"

Xia Lunong glanced at his brother, held the pen in his mouth, and scribbled two words and a question mark on the paper: Is there anyone?

Part of the light from the car headlights shone into the cab. Xia Huoqu read softly along with the words his brother had written: "There are... people... question marks?"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian looked at each other quickly, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Xia Lunong wrote these two words under such circumstances, which was simply a horror story.

Although the two were brave, they were a little overwhelmed.

Xia Lunong's eyes were still full of doubts. He held the pen in his mouth, looked through the windshield, thought for a while, and added the word "bird" under "there are" and "people".

"There are...birds...people?" Xia Huoqu quickly reacted after reading it out, "Xiao Nong, do you mean there are bird-beast people in the sky?!"

Xia Lunong nodded with the pen in his mouth.

He had seen Luo Congzind transform into a wild goose, and he intuitively felt that the creatures flying in the sky should be bird-beastmen rather than mutant birds.

It was just that the group of bird-beastmen seemed to be very large.

Yan Xinian had not expected that they would actually be bird-beastmen.

If they were bird-beastmen, they would migrate in the wind and rain, so they must have encountered some danger.

In this dark night with unclear conditions, they also urgently needed to find out if anything else had happened besides the earthquake.

After turning several corners in his thoughts, Yan Xinian pressed the horn without hesitation, trying to attract the attention of the bird-beastmen in the sky.

The horn of the truck was very loud, and it could be heard from far away even though it was raining heavily outside.

Xia Lunong tilted his head and lay on his brother's knees, listening attentively to the movement in front.

The bird-beast man in the sky didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

Yan Xinian observed his expression and reached out to press the horn again.

This time he pressed it not only for a long time, but three long and two short beeps, alternately, sending a signal of danger and help to the outside.

Xia Lunong stood up, his hind legs standing on his brother's thighs, his two front paws pressing on the instrument panel, staring intently into the night.

Here they come!

Yan Xinian stopped the car, did not turn off the high beam, and pressed the horn three long and two short beeps again.

Ba Niu and his friends shouted in the car fight, "Captain Yan, what happened?"

The rain was howling, and Yan Xinian also raised his voice, "It seems there are bird-beasts in the sky."

"Fuck, it's raining so hard?!"

Before Ba Niu finished speaking, Xia Lunong saw a huge black shadow swooping down towards them from outside the windshield.

The black shadow was too big and too fast, with huge wings spread out, at least three meters on one side, as big as a monster.

Especially the eyes, he could only see one side of the eyes, but he could clearly distinguish the full indifference from the eyes.

Although Xia Lunong was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the scene, and the expression on her furry cat face froze.

He stepped on the instrument table with his two claws, as if he was being stared at by a natural enemy, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

It was an eagle!

He had never seen such a big eagle!
