spooky invasion

Chapter 248
At this moment, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the ground, piercing the sky, and quickly approaching the depths of the vortex.

At the end of the light beam, there is a grid, the grid is square and square, like a giant net of heaven and earth spread out on a plane, criss-crossing, looking magnificent, like a net covering the ground.

But this grid was pushed apart by this light beam, and it was rapidly disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the beam of light merged with the vortex deep in the starry sky, the grid was completely fragmented. In the bright light of the vortex in the starry sky, the afterglow of the shattered grid was swallowed up in an instant. disappeared.

call out!
shhhhh!

Countless beams of light continuously spewed out from the ground, just like a pilgrimage, and shot towards the direction of the vortex in the starry sky at the same time.

The vortex in the starry sky is like a black hole, with infinite attraction, causing the light beams on the ground to shoot out one after another.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

what is happening?
meteorite?meteor?
That's not right either.

If it's these things, shouldn't it have fallen from the sky?How could it be shot from the ground?

How could there be such a strange beam of light on this thick earth?

Lasers from the ground?
laser weapon?
This brain hole is too big, and it obviously cannot stand scrutiny.

The light beams, large and small, continued for a full minute. At least dozens of light beams shot towards the starry sky like fireworks, and the momentum slowly stopped.

Surprisingly, the trembling ground slowly returned to calm.

The shock is also slowly disappearing.

Finally, the ground returned to calm.

If you just look at it from the yard, everything is as usual, as if the earth-shattering changes before have never happened at all, at least in this yard, you can't see any clues.

Panshi Ridge is deep in the mountains, and there are no other people inhabited for a few miles around, so they have no way of knowing what is going on outside.

After the ground completely returned to calm, Jiang Yue walked to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door and walked out.

The area around the Jiang Family's Ancestral Hall is complete, including every plant and tree, and it seems that they have not been significantly impacted.Including the houses near the ancestral hall, it seems that they have not been affected in any way, even if there are a few earthen houses that don't look solid, they are still standing.

The small building of Jiang Yue's house was also safe and sound as far as he could see.

however--

Except for the few houses around the Jiang family that were safe and sound, none of the other houses were intact.

Especially those old earthen houses, which were already precarious, naturally collapsed completely.

Even if it is a newer house made of cement and brick walls, there are also many collapsed houses.With luck, the wall was torn and the room was skewed.

Seriously, the wall also collapsed and crooked.

But in any case, these houses that have not completely collapsed are obviously uninhabitable, and have become out-and-out dilapidated houses.

The road is also very interesting. The dirt road on Jiang's side is intact and flat.

But outside the area of ​​Jiang's house, the road surface was full of potholes, with many big holes torn open, and many cracks like spider's silk appeared. The cracks were wide enough to accommodate a person.

This shows how terrible the intensity of the earthquake is.

However, compared with other places in Panshiling, the boundary of the Jiang family has a much stronger visual impact.

The border of the Jiang family was unscathed, but outside the Jiang family was devastated.

The facts are already obvious, the Jiang family ancestral hall is definitely blessed by unknown forces.

I took out my phone to check, but there was still no signal.

Of course, Jiang Yue didn't expect a signal at this time.

There was no signal before, and now there is such a strong earthquake, it is even more impossible for communication to be restored in a short time.

Jiang Yue returned to his small building and checked the inside and out. The main body of the house was intact, not even a piece of window glass fell off, as if the earthquake deliberately avoided this area.

The two cars they drove were parked in the yard without any impact.

When Jiang Yue walked to the entrance of the village and looked out, he felt a little worried.

The main road from the entrance of the village to the outside world has been torn badly at this moment. It may be an exaggeration to say that it is riddled with holes, but the powerful tearing force has torn the entire road surface into cracks, making the originally smooth road surface , become high and low, uneven, let alone open to traffic, even walking is uncomfortable.

Jiang Yue frowned, looking at the strange vortex in the sky, and the beams of light on the ground shooting high into the sky, slowly extinguished.

And the vortex in the starry sky also seemed a little tired, slowly dimming in the starry sky.

When the vortex in the starry sky completely disappeared, Jiang Yue found that the giant moon hanging in the sky seemed to be a little brighter again.

Jiang Yue stood at the entrance of the village, feeling the fluctuations in the air.

The wonderful power between heaven and earth already exists, but the fluctuation is not as active as before, but it appears more stable, as if it has become a part of heaven and earth, and will become a normal state from now on.

Back at the ancestral hall, Jiang Yue roughly explained what he saw.

Hearing that none of the houses around the Jiang family's ancestral hall collapsed, everyone was greatly surprised, and they were even more convinced of the magic of the old Jiang's family.

With such a strong earthquake, the house can still stand firm, and my sister-in-law has strengthened her belief in long-term living.

"Yue'er, you said that the roads in the village are cracked, so you probably won't be able to get out. Why don't you just stay, our family lives in Panshiling, I think it's fine?"

Sangou was the first to object: "No, no, I can ask for two days off at most, and I want to go back to Star City."

Now he often claims that he has a unit, and he has a strong sense of identity with the Star City Operation Bureau.If you don't go back here, what if you get fired?
Jiang Ying also felt that something was wrong: "Xingcheng still has to go back, and now the communication has been interrupted again. If I don't go back, I don't feel at ease. I have to report to the military in two days."

Jiang Yue didn't express his position for the time being, but said: "We will decide on these things later, while the power of heaven and earth is still relatively active, let's continue to consolidate the first level of mentality."

This proposal was approved by everyone.

Although the aftermath of the earthquake still tests everyone's nerves from time to time, everyone has gotten used to it and their concentration has not diminished.

That night, except for the little sister-in-law's cub who was still heartless and sound asleep, the others didn't close their eyes for a second.

In the second half of the night, the giant moon slowly descended.

And in the early morning of the next day, the morning sun rose again, and the hearts that Jiang Yue and others hung high fell back into their stomachs.

The sun can always dispel the haze and give people hope.

Especially after going through a turbulent and disturbing night, the power and psychological comfort brought by the sun is even more inestimable.

The entire Panshiling mountain village, apart from the road being torn and some houses collapsed, was relatively calm on the whole, at least there were no obvious crises or catastrophes.

The earthquake could be considered a natural disaster, but Panshiling was already a deserted village. The family hid in the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall. Apart from the obvious shaking, there was no other abnormality.

With the arrival of dawn and the rising sun, the depression in everyone's heart was slightly relieved.

"I don't know what's going on outside?" Jiang Ying was worried.

Although she was in Panshiling, she still cared about Xingcheng in her heart.She is not the same as Jiang Yue, and her life in Panshiling is not as long as Jiang Yue's, and her sense of belonging to Panshiling is not as strong as that of Star City.

"I guess the situation outside is not much better." Jiang Yue was not optimistic at all.

"If the Panshiling area is the epicenter, then Xingcheng is so far away, even if it spreads, the shock shouldn't be particularly strong." Jiang Ying seemed to be comforting herself.

It takes more than 100 kilometers from Xingcheng to Panshiling.But this is just the distance, the distance between the two places must be shorter.

But whether the Panshiling area is the epicenter or not is hard to say.

At least Jiang Yue felt that although the area around Panshiling was strongly felt, it might not be the epicenter.

Through his observations last night, he even felt that the earthquake was very strange. Maybe it was not just an earthquake, but something else strange happened.

The light beams shooting towards the starry sky one after another, from far and near, obviously come from all over the world.

It's hard to say that those light beams have nothing to do with this earthquake.

If there is any connection, this is not an earthquake in a certain place, but a common phenomenon on the entire Gaia planet.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Jiang Ying looked at the uneven road with cracks everywhere, and Jun's face was full of sadness.

Given the road conditions, how could they leave Panshiling and return to Star City?

Getting out of the village is difficult!
What's more, after leaving the village road, how good is the mountain road outside?Although I haven't seen the condition of the road outside with my own eyes, it is not optimistic just thinking about it.

The car will definitely not be able to drive.

"Xiao Yue, what should I do?" Jiang Ying was at a loss.

Jiang Yue smiled bitterly: "In this road condition, the car must not be able to drive."

Even though the Ranger is an off-road vehicle with excellent performance, it is only a thing with four wheels after all, and the gap is wide enough to accommodate a person.

The wheels passed and fell straight down.

What's more, this kind of crack is not just one or two, but everywhere.

Of course, after this night passed, they were not without gains.Everyone's physical function has been significantly improved.

Those potholes can be crossed by just lifting your foot at will.

"Sister, why don't we go outside the village and have a look?"

The left and right are idle, and the sister-in-law's family has already prepared breakfast.

The three of them, siblings, were originally out of the village to explore the way.

The road out of the village, the more you go out, the more damaged it is.

The widest crack was even three or four meters wide and seven or eight meters deep.

The whole road seemed to be deeply split by some powerful force, creating a gully seven or eight meters deep.

Seeing this gully, Jiang Ying completely gave up the idea of ​​driving back to Star City.

Fortunately, the three of them are all awakened, and with the fact that they absorbed the mighty power of heaven and earth this night, the first wave of mighty power of heaven and earth had an obvious effect on shaping their bodies.

With a width of three to four meters, according to their normal strength, it is impossible for them to jump over it.

But now, they can cross easily with a single sprint.

It used to take half an hour to walk to the platform on the west side of Dajin Mountain. Now they trot all the way and arrive in seven to eight minutes.

This mountain road is winding and can lead directly to the outside world, to Star City.

Sure enough, as Jiang Yue and the others expected, the damage on the mountain road was equally serious, and there were still many falling rocks on the ground.Before they got close, they heard gravel falling from the mountain from time to time.

"Don't go there." Jiang Ying stared blankly at the devastated mountain road, knowing that the way back to Star City was completely blocked.

Of course, there are other ways, such as going to Yunxi Town where my sister-in-law's house is.

To go to Yunxi Town, you also have to walk through the mountain road.With the current situation, there are constant falling rocks, and it is not safe to walk on any mountain road.

What's more, when they arrive at Yunxi Town, who can guarantee that the road conditions there will be intact and they will be able to leave for traffic?

The key is that there is no signal on the phone. In this way, the family is completely isolated from the outside world.

Returning to Panshiling sullenly, my sister persuaded: "Ying, don't worry, if something like this happens, even if you don't report in time, the military will forgive you."

"Gu, I'm not only worried about reporting. I'm also worried about the situation in Star City, Crescent Harbor, and Daozi Lane Villa."

Jiang Ying is a girl with strong family values. After her parents disappeared one after another, she took it as her responsibility to support the family.

Therefore, she attaches great importance to her home in Star City.

When he went out just now and saw the ruined road on the ground, the shadow in Jiang Ying's heart was undoubtedly huge.If Star City also felt such a strong earthquake, would the high-rise buildings in Crescent Harbor be able to withstand it?
Even if we hold it, will it become a dangerous building?
"Sister, the Daozi Lane villa should be very earthquake-resistant. A high-rise building like Xinyue Harbor should be able to withstand ordinary earthquakes."

"I hope so." Jiang Ying sighed, it's no use just worrying now.

After a hasty deal with breakfast, Jiang Ying pulled Jiang Yue to study the plan of returning to Star City.

In fact, there are not many options. The only option is to walk.

The road of more than 100 kilometers is not completely unfeasible in terms of walking.

After all, their current physical conditions are all awakened people far beyond ordinary people. If more than 100 kilometers are normal, according to Jiang Yue's calculation, they should be able to reach Star City in one day.

But the premise is that there are no emergencies and the road conditions are normal.

"Sister, the three of us are easy to deal with, but in the current situation, sister-in-law and the others..."

Jiang Yingdao: "Sister-in-law's meaning is very clear, she still wants to stay in Panshiling."

The sister-in-law came to live in Panshiling, obviously wanting to touch an opportunity, an opportunity for awakening.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to persuade her to return to Star City.

If she could be persuaded so easily, there would be no need to go back to Panshiling.

Besides, with the road conditions along the way, it is obviously impossible to trek with my sister-in-law's family.

After the first wave of heaven and earth power shaping last night, although my aunt did not have an obvious opportunity to trigger her awakening, the shaping of heaven and earth as an example has obviously transformed her physical body. Although she is not officially awakened now, her strength may be reversed Outperform some awakened ones.

After all, the world itself will not have too many people who can actively absorb the first wave of great power from heaven and earth.

My aunt guided the great power of heaven and earth to shape the body through the secret method inherited by the Jiang family. In terms of this good fortune alone, it actually far surpassed most awakened people.

My uncle has gained more or less, and he should have reached the level of an ordinary awakened person.

But because their power is not self-awakening, not from the inside out, but from the outside in, so strictly speaking, they are not awakened.

In other words, they still have an opportunity for awakening to look forward to.
