Chapter 228: Can't Leave Her Behind During the Earthquake
"Well, we have some work to do in the team, so we'll be leaving first."
The two people who accidentally caused Zhu Yan a big disaster said this and turned around and ran away.
Zhu Yan, who knew nothing about this, was being held down by doctors and nurses in the hospital room for a physical examination.
Why was it pressed down? Because he refused to cooperate.
Finally, the doctor couldn't control him anymore and didn't dare to use force, fearing that it would affect his injuries. He could only helplessly ask him, "What do you want, little brother?"
Zhu Yan glanced outside and pursed his lips: "Call her in, hold me, and comfort me."
doctor:"……?!"
Listen, are these requests reasonable? Are they reasonable?
The nurse whispered to him, "It should be okay, they seem to be like this." She hooked her two thumbs together and matched them.
The doctor suddenly realized that it was the young couple's romantic interests that had brought trouble upon them.
He pointed at Zhu Yan, who was taking advantage of his injury to act like a rogue, in an unpleasant manner and told him to wait.
The nurse then went out and called Rong Zhen, who was lost in thought, in. She said, "This patient is being rather hostile to our medical staff. Could you please stay by his side and comfort him?"
"Don't worry, I will comfort him!" Rong Zhen promised readily, then walked to the bedside with heavy steps, grabbed his ear and twisted it hard in someone's expectant eyes.
Zhu Yan screamed miserably, "It hurts, it hurts—"
The medical staff were stunned by the scene before them. They wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but Rongzhen stopped them with a look.
"I'm asking you, did you get hurt on purpose?" Rong Zhen asked with a fierce look on his face.
Zhu Yan's narrowed eyes suddenly widened: "How is this possible? Who is talking nonsense and making up rumors about me?!"
Rongzhen confirmed again and again: "Really?"
Zhu Yan pointed to the heavens and swore, "Really, really, I will never mess around with my own life!"
He will only come with a plan to ensure his life is safe.
Rongzhen stared at him scrutinizingly for a moment, then chose to trust him for the time being. She released his hand and took a step back. "Okay, then you will now accept the medical examination."
"Where did you hear those rumors?" Zhu Yan rubbed his aching ears, still wanting to find out who the betrayer was.
"Don't worry about it, just do the inspection quietly." Rong Zhen did not give up his captain and teammates.
But even if she didn't say it, Zhu Yan could guess it.
After all, she treated him like this only after those two knew the inside story and came here. The leaker must be among them, or both of them are involved!
Humph, not only did you not help him pursue happiness, you actually held him back. Just wait, as soon as he recovers from his injuries, he'll come back and cause trouble...
Zhu Yan looked aggrieved on the surface, but was cursing inside as he was being manipulated by the doctor. From time to time, he glanced at Rong Zhen who was standing not far away with his arms folded.
Rongzhen had a blank expression on her face and didn't give him a good look.
Zhu Yan immediately buried his head in the pillow, and the few hairs on the top of his head drooped down.
The doctors and nurses wanted to laugh when they saw this, so they took the opportunity to check Zhu Yan's wound and record his recovery progress.
He is recovering well and can go home to recuperate after staying for two or three more days.
Zhu Yan has no home here, only the dormitories allocated to the exploration team by the base, and he has a bed in one of the dormitories.
After the medical staff finished their work and left, Zhu Yan finally pulled his head out of the pillow and asked Rong Zhen with sparkling eyes: "Enoki mushroom, were you concerned about me just now?"
Rong Zhen rolled her eyes at him and flatly denied it: "You're overthinking it, no!"
Zhu Yan pretended not to hear and continued with a smile on his face, "You are angry because I don't take my body and life seriously, but you are just caring about me."
"So what? I definitely won't like boys younger than me anyway." Rong Zhen's words brought down his cocked tail.
Zhu Yan's smile fell and he asked her how old she was.
Rongzhen replied twenty-one.
A woman three years older than you is a treasure. Zhu Yan muttered this timeless saying to himself, and said with a cheerful expression, "That's perfect. I'm twenty-two, one year older than you. Call me brother!"
Rong Zhen couldn't bear to watch, "Call me brother, don't think I don't know you're only eighteen, you should call me sister!"
"Who said I'm eighteen? Look at my figure and my temperament, do I look like I'm eighteen? I'm really twenty-two, sister." Zhu Yan refused to admit it.
Anyway, natural disasters happen frequently nowadays, and the old files have probably been soaked and rotted away, so how can they be found? Naturally, whatever he says is what it is.
But he forgot that some capable people could tell his bone age with just one glance or one hand without looking at the files.
Although Rongzhen didn't have this ability, she believed in the judgment of the military personnel and they would never make a mistake, so this guy must be only eighteen years old, not twenty-two as he claimed.
"I don't date kids prematurely. You should wait until your hair grows back."
"I'm really not a kid. If you don't believe me, come and check it out."
As he said this, he was about to pull up his pants.
Rongzhen slapped him and he immediately became obedient with a pitiful expression.
At this moment, the floor suddenly shook. The two of them looked at each other in shock and instantly realized something.
Zhu Yan's playful expression disappeared, and he quickly jumped off the bed, grabbed Rong Zhen and ran upstairs, "Hurry up, there's an earthquake!"
The earthquake came unexpectedly. The shaking went from mild to severe in just a few seconds. Those who reacted slowly had no time to escape.
They wanted to avoid the heat, but they were on the second underground floor. If they couldn't escape in time, they would definitely be buried alive!
At this time, they didn't care about anything else and ran away together.
People around were running away, screaming in fear one after another. From time to time, someone fell to the ground due to the violent shaking, or was hit by falling light tubes and other objects on their heads.
Just as Rong Zhen and Zhu Yan were about to escape, they were hit by a huge billboard.
When Rong Zhen noticed it, he pushed Zhu Yan from behind in time, and then fell backwards, holding his head and rolling to avoid it.
The billboard that was originally hanging above the building fell to the ground with a loud bang, separating the two of them, with the exit on one side and the abyss on the other.
Zhu Yan stood at the exit and anxiously reached out to Rong Zhen: "Come here quickly, climb up, I'll pull you up!"
Rong Zhen hurriedly climbed up from the debris on the ground, not caring about the scratches on her body, and struggled to climb over the obstacles, while urging him to leave quickly, "You get out first, don't worry about me, as many people as you can escape are the best."
Don't let both of them be buried here in the end.
Others had heard the noise and discovered this escape route, and they rushed here.
At the critical moment, Rongzhen successfully climbed over the biggest obstacle, and was grabbed by Zhu Yan who insisted on waiting for her. He lifted her up and then hugged her and quickly escaped.
The next moment, a panicked crowd swarmed in, trampling the place into ruins, scrambling to climb to the exit full of hope for survival, and walking from the dark abyss into the bright world.
Unfortunately, the world is not as beautiful as they imagined. It is also shaking and full of crises, with buildings collapsing and heavy rain falling.
"Oh my God, you won't give us a way to live!"
People cried out to the sky in grief, tears and rain streaming down their cheeks.
Rong Zhen was brought by Zhu Yan to an empty square, but he still couldn't relax at all, because there were high-rise buildings around the square, which were in danger of collapsing at any time.
Everyone who came here was both relieved and confused, some even dazed, as if they were frightened.
Before they could recover, a crisp sound of cracking suddenly rang in their ears, followed by a creaking and tearing sound. A crack suddenly appeared in a corner of the square, and then it got bigger and bigger, extending towards the crowd crowded in the center at lightning speed.
"Quick, scatter, hide to the side!"
The sharp-eyed people immediately raised the alarm after discovering it, but there were also high-rise buildings nearby that were collapsing due to cracks. They were attacked from all sides and had nowhere to escape.
Seeing this, Zhu Yan cursed inwardly, blaming himself for choosing the wrong place.
Without looking back, he pulled Rong Zhen and ran towards a fallen stone slab. Using the stone slab as a cover, he interlocked his fingers with Rong Zhen's and said, "Let's go in now!"
Rongzhen looked at him and said, "Okay."
Then he went inside and she remained outside.
Rongzhen smiled. It turned out that this guy had not noticed the change in the authority of the courtyard since she left.
No one can enter her gray space, so now she can only find a way to survive on her own.
More stones fell on her head. She turned around and tried to avoid it, but was grabbed tightly by a big hand.
"Where are you going? Why can't you get in? What did you do?" Zhu Yan, who came out to look for her again after finding that she was not there, questioned Sanlian angrily, not caring about the wound on his head that was bleeding from a falling rock.
Rong Zhen quickly pulled him to a safe area, took out a bandage from her backpack, and pressed it against his forehead. She explained, "When I left the building, I gave you all the rights to the courtyard. Now it's yours alone, so of course I can't enter."
Zhu Yan was panicked after hearing this. How could this happen?
Rongzhen treated his wound and told him to hide inside quickly. She herself had to find a way to survive. If they were lucky, they might meet again.
Zhu Yan looked at the tragic scene around him where the sky was collapsing and the earth was sinking, which was like hell on earth. Then he heard her farewell words that sounded like her last will and testament, and he immediately refused to let her leave.
He was afraid that once he let her go, it would be a farewell forever.
He absolutely doesn't want this!
Since the authority of the courtyard can be transferred and integrated, it can definitely be divided again. Otherwise, what use would he have for it? It would be better to destroy it!
If he couldn't save Rongzhen and let her go in with him, Zhu Yan would really destroy it.
Perhaps sensing his threat, or perhaps sensing his genuine kindness, the courtyard's authority shifted again.
Rongzhen was surprised to find that the shining little light appeared in his mind again.
