Journey to the Rose

earthquake, the fifth city on land from south to north.

Compared with the previous four cities, Earthquake City appears to have its own unique architectural style, and the natural landscape is mostly alpine tundra.

It is also known as the "Earthquake City" because of the sudden and uninterrupted earthquakes all year round.As for the principle of the earthquake, the teacher did not teach it.

Ruan Xi stared blankly at the city in front of him.

This city is rich in a kind of ore called "Bi Liuli". The locals are used to calling it "Star Color Stone". It is a color between blue and purple, which symbolizes the sky. It is extremely noble and rare. Produced here.

The local people grind it into powder, mix it with water, and make ultramarine blue pigment, which is used to decorate the window lattice on the house.

In front of my eyes, some of these buildings made of stones are towering into the sky, and some have only a few floors. They are all crooked and twisted, and they are all built on the ruins of earthquakes.

The windows of the building are all in that ultramarine color, and the transparent city flag is planted on the roof.

The wind blew, and the city flags fluttered one after another, as if magic were comforting the dead.

When Ruan Xi was a child, she saw her mother's ornaments made of asterites. It was like the night sky that had been gouged out, adorning her belt.Occasionally, my mother also used the powder made of this ore to paint her eyebrows with water.

He still remembers the color.

But I have to say that these buildings are indeed in awe of unknown powerful forces.

He didn't dare to slow down the speed of the car, fearing that the crumbling building would not be able to withstand the breeze and would collapse if he didn't pay attention.

"Do people really live here? Why is their flag transparent?"

"Because the earthquake may destroy them at any time, the transparent flag is convenient for other wandering families who migrated to rebuild."

"So generous..."

"There are rumors that there is a hole in the ground of this city, and when the wind blows in, the ground will shake. The stronger the wind, the stronger the earthquake."

"It doesn't sound very reliable," Ruan Xi said.

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhenghe laughed, "Okay, we have to hurry up. Do you like that ultramarine crystal color stone? I will find some for you to take with you when I have a chance. It is very precious. I am afraid that after the prophesied doomsday comes , it will never appear in the world again."

Ruan Xi said coldly, "We're not playing a treasure hunt."

Lu Zhenghe seemed to have some obsession with purple blue, and he didn't give up his proposal even after rolling his eyes, "It is very beautiful after being crushed into powder, suitable for eyebrows of beautiful people."

"I don't wear makeup." Ruan Xi warned.

"Ok."

Lu Zhenghe peeked at his frown as he pretended to be angry.

It was considered childish.

In Lu Zhenghe's impression, it was said in the book that men only paint eyebrows on those they love.Crystal stones can best show the dignity of the lover in the heart.

And for someone like Ruan Xi, he deserves to use the most expensive material in the whole land.

·

Because there was a loved one in the car, Ruan Xi drove very seriously, not daring to be sloppy.Even so, he was still shocked by the cityscape of the earthquake.

Every building here is like a giant stone pillar pulled out of the ground, with rocks of different sizes, medium and small inlaid in it, and there seems to be no adhesion between the stones.

They look solid, I wonder if the Xiaoyan Ling knife can be inserted into them?

Ruan Xi was thinking in a mess.

He remembered the small stone pillars that he and his friends had piled up with seaside pebbles when they were young. They never imagined that it would be a building for people to live in.

Unlike Dawn City, there are still many residents here who have not escaped.They were sitting leisurely on the balconies of their respective homes, seeming to be enjoying the rare sunny day.

There were also many vehicles fleeing from the previous cities, and they parked in open spaces in the cities.

People stopped and looked up, as if they were also shocked by such a weird scene.

Ruan Xi didn't stop the car, but kept in contact with Wen Kai through the headset, letting Wen Kai guide the direction.He was afraid to go where there were no roads in a strange city.

Right now, the intact road has come to an end, and there is no road ahead.

Ruan Xi didn't want to waste time, so she didn't hesitate any longer.He jumped in the car and they stopped too.

He stepped on the gravel under his feet and left the safe road.He saw that there were still signposts ahead, but there was no flat road for the vehicle to move forward.

It can be seen that this section of the intercity highway leading to the top of the snow-capped mountain was not repaired, but was damaged in a violent earthquake.

"What should I do?" Li Shen also got out of the car and turned to look at Wen Kai, "There is no way ahead."

"What to do, what to do," Wen Kai repeated Li Shen's words, lowered his head, the solution was running rapidly in his golden head, and muttered, "Our team responsible for building bridges and paving roads is not here..."

Li Shen patted his forehead, wondering why Wen Kai was thinking about building a pontoon bridge now.

May God bless the Northern Union too.

How could there be such a dull temporary commander!However, Wen Kai's professional ability as a doctor is still good.

Li Shen was speechless, and emphasized: "When is the time, we have to solve it ourselves!"

Wen Kai dodged like a bounce, and was about to kick Li Shen when he suddenly looked up and saw the dense clouds in the sky.These scaly white clouds spread out again, stretching across the sky like a long snake.

They now look like ribs and catkins floating in the blue sky.

Today's weather is extremely hot and dry, but it is clearly winter.

"It's altocumulus again," Wen Kai broke into a cold sweat. "I used to say that the appearance of this kind of cloud represents an earthquake, but I don't think it's very reliable..."

"Whether it's reliable or not, the problem is that we are already in Earthquake City. Are the tires of military vehicles durable?" Li Shen asked.

"durable."

Wen Kai repeatedly calculated the final inspection time, because he believed in the quality of his alliance's armaments.

"Okay then, let's drive straight ahead."

"Do you want to ask the young master?"

"There is no other way now!"

After getting in the car, Li Shen asked for Lu Zhenghe's opinion.It was inconvenient for Lu Zhenghe to go down to the ground, but he could barely walk, so he managed to get out of the car.

Indeed, this is a dead end road.

If you don't go this way, bypass it, I don't know how long it will take.Moreover, the terrain of this city is complicated, and it is located on a mountain range, and the ground conditions are changeable. They have no other way but to force their way in.

Similarly, the cars of other people have already driven up with bumps.

After the last battle, Ruan Xi replaced the veil covering her face with a military mask, most of her face was tightly covered, and she was very safe when she was wanted.

Ruan Xi walked around, observed the terrain, urged Lu Zhenghe to get in the car, and said that he should just leave.Lu Zhenghe said that it is an area where the ground will move all the year round, so you have to think clearly before stepping on it.

"Everyone is mortal." He said lightly.

Lu Zhenghe reacted greatly, and immediately changed his expression, "No way."

Ruan Xi said to herself: "I thought I would never encounter an earthquake again in this life. I encountered an earthquake when I was young, but the magnitude was not high, it was the level that the chandelier at home shook. But a catastrophic earthquake Once in a century."

"First century?"

"Well, I don't know if this land can wait until the next century, and I don't know if the predicted ground fission will come... But now, we have no other way, don't we? Earthquakes are like volcanic eruptions, After the eruption, it will continue to accumulate energy, and this accumulation will last for hundreds of years."

In a hundred years, the vicissitudes of life have changed.

Ruan Xi stomped her feet, once again feeling the solidity of her legs on the ground.

He once wanted to escape the suffocating and oppressive life countless times, and felt that his life was a pity that he was watched every day and was strictly required to be an animal locked in a cage.

Now, he is in a different state of mind. After countless tossings and wanderings, he realizes that breathing and smiling are also luxuries.

So their car drove forward.

After leaving the cement, the road became different. It was made up of many broken stones. The whole body was bumping, swaying left and right, and even ghosting appeared in front of my eyes, making it hard to see the dashboard clearly.Ruan Xi thought she was driving an electric rocker.

The road became more and more difficult to walk, and the force of stepping on the gas pedal became heavier and heavier. Ruan Xi became nervous. He was worried that this military vehicle of unknown origin would break down on the ruins of the earthquake, and no one would be able to leave by then.

Lu Zhenghe knew that Ruan Xi was upset now, so he released some pheromone smell on his own initiative.

The field of roses that belonged to him was in full bloom again.

Ruan Xi felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, this time the gentle breath made him more acceptable than ever before.

He closed his eyes briefly, then bowed his head again, calmly, "You know what I need."

Lu Zhenghe whispered, "I also know what I need."

"What do you need?" Ruan Xi didn't shy away from being straightforward.

The voice just fell.

Before Lu Zhenghe had time to give an answer, the two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, and both of their eyes turned to the front.They obviously feel that the shaking is very different from before.

"Stop?" Ruan Xi turned to him and asked.

"Stop." Lu Zhenghe said.

The off-road vehicle stopped, but the vehicle was still shaking.

Yes.

The eyes of the two of them met in one place again, and before both of them could speak, another violent shaking struck, stirring everything in the car upside down.

The nearby ground began to tremble, and the tremor was to the left and right, turning the clearness between the sky and the earth into muddy water.

The ground did not cave in, but the stone buildings built by the residents collapsed.They collapsed one after another, and were razed to the ground almost instantly.

The ultramarine blue here and there is extremely eye-catching in the gray-black gravel.

In the end, only a few transparent flags waving in the wind were left forgotten in the wind.

The ground trembled so strongly that Ruan Xi's seat belt was snapped open, and she couldn't hold the door with both hands, so she could only buckle the armrest, not daring to let go.

Lu Zhenghe was a little bit stronger, he was stuck in the door, a lot of stones flew in from the other side of the window, hit the inside of the car, hit them, and then was shaken and thrown out again.

As long as he came over an inch, he was in danger of being hit by a flying stone at any time.

"Don't come here, I..."

Ruan Xi's hand was already bleeding, he really felt that the car door was too slippery to reach Lu Zhenghe desperately reached out to hold his hand, "I can't catch you!"

"You can catch it!"

Lu Zhenghe almost let go of his stressed side, and was about to fall with him.

Lied to me again.

Ruan Xi felt that he was lying.

Four years passed and he never seemed to catch him.
