Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

Because no one can be sure whether there will be another earthquake.

After driving for a while, the electric tricycle stopped outside a shop.

The smell of meat, sugar, soy milk and fried dough sticks wafted into Jiang Meng's nose. He turned his head and looked at the shop in front of him. This was the shop that the original owner had frequented.

In the original owner's memory, there would be several tables, chairs and benches placed outside the shop, and the same inside.

There are many steamers placed on the side of the shop, and inside the steamers are many buns of various flavors.

The original owner’s favorite foods were this shop’s red bean paste buns and fresh meat buns.

On the table next to it, there are soy milk, fried dough sticks, and various drinks.

However, due to the earthquake, these things are now lying all over the place, it's a complete mess.

As Lu Qiu parked the car, he shouted inside: "Lu Wei, we are here."

After the electric tricycle stopped, Li Xuan got off without stopping and rushed in.

But after entering the store, Li Xuan looked around but did not see Lu Wei.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel anxious. Where did Lu Wei go?

Li Xuan couldn't find Lu Wei, so he had to leave the store and said to Lu Qiu and Han Qin, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Lu Wei is not in here."

Lu Qiu couldn't help but shook his head and said, "This kid."

Han Qin glanced at Lu Qiu and said, "Son, I learned this from you."

Li Xuan also felt that what her mother-in-law said made some sense, but she didn't dare say it out loud.

Lu Qiu did not refute for a moment, because what Han Qin said seemed to be right, so what could he say to refute?

At this time, people in the shop next door heard the noise and ran out.

He said to Li Xuan, "You are here to look for Brother Lu, right? He left when the earthquake just ended. I guess he went to look for you guys."

After hearing what was said, Jiang Meng looked over and saw that it was He Jieyi, who ran a convenience store.

Li Xuan immediately replied: "But we just came from home and didn't see him."

He Jieyi heard this and shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. By the way, I want to go to the village chief. Do you want to go?"

Li Xuan sighed and said, "We also want to go to the village chief, but we haven't found Lu Wei yet. How can we get there?"

Lu Qiu's voice came over: "Could Lu Wei be going to pick up Xiao Jiang and Xiao Hui?"

After hearing this, Han Qin and Li Xuan both felt that what Lu Qiu said made some sense.

It’s a pity that there is no signal on my cell phone now, otherwise I would just call him right away and find out where Lu Wei is.

After a moment's silence, Li Xuan said to Jiang Meng, "Jiang Meng, why don't you go to the village chief with your uncle He first? We still have to look for Lu Wei."

Jiang Meng naturally had no objection, so she got out of the car with her suitcase.

As the electric tricycle disappeared from Jiang Meng's sight, Jiang Meng picked up his luggage and walked towards the village committee where the village chief was.

After He Jieyi saw Jiang Meng's actions, he hurriedly followed and said to Jiang Meng: "Fortunately, when there was still signal just now, I called and asked everyone at home to gather at the village committee."

Jiang Meng said quietly: "Then you are quite foresighted."

He Jieyi immediately smiled confidently and said, "Of course."

······

Along the way, Jiang Meng saw some people running out naked, wrapped in quilts.

He Jieyi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but smile obscenely after seeing this scene. He seemed to restrain himself after remembering that Jiang Meng was still beside him.

Walking up the street, Jiang Meng soon saw the village committee. Even He Jieyi couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Jiang Meng suddenly thought of something and said to He Jieyi, "You have to take good care of the things in your convenience store."

After hearing Jiang Meng's words, He Jieyi looked at Jiang Meng with some confusion.

After realizing something, He Jieyi said to Jiang Meng, "What kind of society is this now? How could there be thieves?

Besides, we are all neighbors and would not do such a thing.

Just tell me this, don't tell anyone else."

Jiang Meng looked at He Jieyi with a disapproving expression and didn't say anything else. Everyone has their own choices. If He Jieyi himself didn't believe it, what else could she do?

Thinking of this, Jiang Meng suddenly remembered that Phoenix seemed to have never spoken since coming to this world. Could it be that it was restricted in this world?

That must be the case. It looks like I have to fight this world alone again, and the restrictions this world imposes on me are extremely huge.

Even if you use spiritual energy, it can only circulate within your body and cannot reach the outside world.

He Jieyi looked at Jiang Meng with amusement and said, "You are still young, but you still have a lot of things to worry about."

Jiang Meng smiled slightly and said nothing as he got closer and closer to the village committee.

Jiang Meng saw that there were many people gathered outside the village committee. Most of them were people that the original owner did not know, so Jiang Meng naturally did not know them either.

Some of the people had disheveled hair and dirty faces, as if they had just crawled out of the ground. Some of them were either barefoot or wearing slippers, and some were even shirtless.

Of course, there are still some people who are dressed very neatly.

As soon as He Jieyi arrived here, he took out a cigarette from his arms and greeted those people enthusiastically.

When those people saw the cigarette in He Jieyi's hand, they didn't mean to refuse it. They just needed a cigarette to relieve themselves from the stress.

However, some people refused and said: "In this situation, I don't feel like smoking."

Jiang Meng stood quietly aside, not wanting to say much. Plus, there were not many people who knew Jiang Meng, so it was very quiet around Jiang Meng.

During this period, people came to the village committee from time to time.

Including He Jieyi's family, his wife, Ai Shuang.

Parents, He Wen, Liang Zhen. Son, He Yuanliang. Daughter, He Qian. One is in junior high school, the other is in elementary school.

After everyone waited outside the village committee for a long time, the village chief came out.

Jiang Meng turned her head and looked over, only to see a man who was about forty years old.

He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and looked meticulous, and indeed looked like a leader. But he was indeed a leader, Xu Ke, the village chief of Shuidu Village.

After Xu Ke came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, obviously waiting for Xu Ke to speak.

Xu Ke also knew this, and without wasting time, he raised his hand and said to everyone: “The current situation is not very clear to us.

So everyone, when you don’t know what will happen in the future, try to stay in open spaces.”

But just as Xu Ke finished speaking, a blue-white light suddenly appeared in the sky.

Jiang Meng, who saw the bright light, immediately shouted, "Earthquake light, run to an open area."

As soon as Jiang Meng finished speaking, everyone didn't know what the light was.

However, everyone is still very clear about the meaning of the word "earthquake" in earthquake light.

So everyone's faces became visibly tense.

He Jieyi looked at Jiang Meng's leaving back, and hurriedly pulled his family members to follow.

Others were also looking for places they thought were safe.

The village chief Xu Ke, who usually holds a high status in Shuidu Village, is no different from an ordinary person at this moment. He is also trying hard to escape from danger.

After just a few seconds, the ground began to shake violently. Jiang Meng was still able to keep himself steady, but it was hard to say for others.

It was as if the very foundations of the planet were shaking, and people were drifting like rootless duckweed.

Nearby buildings were also collapsing, and everyone was frantically trying to avoid it all while running for their lives.

The cement road, which was not very solid to begin with, seemed to be torn apart by such shaking, and it looked like a doomsday scene.

Jiang Meng ran all the way to the nearby Shuidu Primary School and then stopped.

This is the most empty place on the streets of Shuidu Village.

When you run near Shuidu Primary School, you can hear the crying of children and the comforting voices of adults.

Jiang Meng couldn't help but sigh.

But the shaking of the ground still did not stop. One could clearly see that the teaching building in front of him was swaying violently like a pirate ship.

Jiang Meng wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead due to the intense running, and took a breath.

The shaking of the ground finally calmed down.

The impact caused, however, has not disappeared, and my ears are still filled with the cries of children, who are obviously very frightened.

Fortunately, Shuidu Village has a sparse population, so there are not many students in Shuidu Primary School. It is considered a very good situation to have two classes in one grade.

After a while, more and more people ran to Shuidu Primary School. Obviously, everyone knew where to stay to benefit themselves.

He Jieyi also pulled his family members and caught up.

Ziran stood next to Jiang Meng, panting and said, "I'm so tired. It's been shaking three times in such a short time. Three times!"

Seeing that Jiang Meng didn't answer him, He Jieyi didn't say anything.

Instead, he looked around and suddenly pointed at a place and said, "Isn't that Li Xuan, Lu Wei and the others?"

Jiang Meng then looked over and saw it, indeed, the electric tricycle belonging to Li Xuan's family.

A family of six was also resting on the electric tricycle. Two elderly people, each holding a child, were trying to comfort Lu Jiang and Lu Hui.

He Jieyi had also walked towards that direction, and as He Jieyi got closer to Li Xuan and the others.

Li Xuan and his companions naturally saw He Jieyi. They were happy to see their acquaintances.

As soon as He Jieyi came to Lu Wei's side, he said, "You are here too."

Li Xuan nodded, and Lu Wei on the side said to He Jieyi: "I was planning to come to the school to pick up Lu Hui, and then pick up Lu Jiang.

I didn't expect that they had been picked up by my parents a long time ago, so I ran away. Fortunately, I met them here."

He Jieyi immediately said, "Isn't that a good thing? My mom and the others are over there, they are fine, that's a good thing."

Lu Wei also knew that what He Jieyi said made sense.

In this case, as long as the family members around you are fine, it is a great thing.

Jiang Meng came over at this time. When Li Xuan saw Jiang Meng, he said, "There was an earthquake just now. I was worried about your safety. I'm glad you're okay."

Jiang Meng nodded and said, "Yes, safety is the most important thing."

What's more, with my current strength restricted in most aspects, I have to be cautious in everything I do.

After hearing what Li Xuan said, He Jieyi quickly said, "Jiang Meng is really smart. It was Jiang Meng who reminded us just now."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Jiang Meng is a smart kid."

Then He Jieyi said with a disappointed look on his face: "I don't know when the rescue team will come. So many houses have collapsed, and I don't know what to do with the people inside."

After these words were spoken, the faces of Lu Wei, Li Xuan and others all looked unhappy. Who said it wasn't?

Their house also collapsed. You know, they live in the village and most of their belongings are kept at home. Now that the house has collapsed, they don’t know what to do.

I can only be thankful that it is still intact.

Li Xuan thought about how he felt like the sky was falling when he thought his parents-in-law were buried under the rubble.

But now that his parents-in-law are fine, Li Xuan starts to worry about his parents who are living away from home.

There was no signal on his cell phone. Li Xuan glanced at his phone. No matter how panicked he was, it was of no use.

As more and more people came to seek shelter in the elementary school playground, the area in which everyone could move became smaller and smaller.

Even the village chief Xu Ke came here with his family. When everyone saw the village chief Xu Ke, they felt like they had seen their backbone.

They gathered around him, hoping that Xu Ke could come up with some advice.

Moreover, some of their family members are buried under the rubble, and their lives or deaths are unknown.

Xu Ke listened to everyone's demands, but he was just an ordinary man with flesh and blood. How could he fight against natural disasters?

Xu Ke, who wanted to cry but had no tears, could only pretend to be serious and listen to everyone's complaints.

After hearing that some villagers asked him to organize manpower to go for rescue, Xu Ke couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He also understood that time is life.

But this is just a small village, where can they find any tools to rescue people?

The Security Bureau is some distance away from the village, and it’s not easy to get there quickly.

After thinking it over, Xu Ke said to everyone, despite his family's disapproval, "Time is tight and rescue workers haven't come yet, so let's organize a team on our own initiative.

Anyone who is interested can come and sign up with me.”

As soon as Xu Ke finished speaking, the villagers who were determined to save their families immediately signed up with the village chief Xu Ke.

With someone taking the lead, the following things went much more smoothly. After careful consideration, He Jieyi also decided to join the team.

When he was running all the way here just now, he saw those collapsed houses. What if someone was buried underneath?

You can't pretend you don't know something when you clearly know it!
