Luo Yuan decided not to travel through the night as the earthquake could happen at any time. Instead, he found a desert and stopped nearby. The ground there was hard, and there were rocks under his feet. Even if an earthquake happened, it would not collapse easily.
Luo Yuan then chased the giant lizard and King Kong far away to prevent them from accidentally stepping on each other during the earthquake.
The night was dark, and there was no light.
The group lit a bonfire and sat in a circle, quietly waiting for the arrival of the earthquake.
Time passed, and the aurora in the sky lasted for six hours. It only disappeared in the wee hours of the morning.
Then, everything became quiet.
Not only the insects and beasts on the grassland, but even the air seemed to have stopped moving.
The giant lizard seemed to have sensed something. It moved on the ground and snorted anxiously. King Kong was also restless, scratching its ears and grinning.
Soon, an oppressive aura filled the air. Everyone's heart felt like it was being squeezed, and their breathing became rapid. Even the slowest person could feel the fear of an impending disaster.
"Luo Yuan!" Zhao Yali called out anxiously.
Luo Yuan held her hand tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll be fine. Be careful!"
Zhao Yali nodded, but her face was as pale as a sheet.
"Shishi, pay attention to the rescue later! The rest of you, take care of yourselves! " Luo Yuan said quickly. As an earth type evolved human, he was already suppressing a strong restlessness underground. It was reaching its limit and was about to explode.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his heart palpitate.
As if sensing something, he suddenly looked towards the south. In an instant, a bright red light shone from the horizon, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Immediately after, a loud rumble sounded like a clap of thunder, shaking the earth and heaven.
Zhao Yali and Huang Jiahui lost their balance and were about to fall to the ground. Luo Yuan quickly pulled them up, and Wang Shishi floated up to help Wang Xiaguang. Other than them, everyone else fell to the ground, their heads bleeding.
However, the earthquake had just begun. Before Zhang Wu and the rest could stand up, a stronger earthquake had struck.
A few of them fell to the ground and kept rolling. The gravel in the Gobi was extremely sharp, and their bodies were soon covered with wounds.
Chen Jiayi, on the other hand, performed much better than the rest. The girl, who had become quiet after being infected by the moss, stood up quickly after the first fall. As one of the three kids who had been training with Luo Yuan, her lower body was much more stable than the other three evolved humans. Although she was wobbling and almost fell a few times, she managed to stand up and did not fall again.
The strong earthquake caused cracks to appear on the Gobi Desert that was tens of meters high. Countless gravel rolled down from the top of the mountain like a tide, creating a huge cloud of dust. The grassland that was far away changed even more. The entire ground was like a soft cake that could be easily kneaded during the earthquake. Luo Yuan even saw a huge crack forming under the earthquake. In just a few seconds, it was already a few kilometers long and it continued to extend to both sides.
Luo Yuan stood at the same spot, adjusting his center of gravity as the ground shook. He was used to this kind of earthquake since he often jumped on top of mutated beasts to fight.
This earthquake lasted for more than three minutes before it finally came to an end. As Xiao Chen looked into the distance and saw the world changing, he suddenly felt a boundless sorrow rise in his heart.
Since the apocalypse, humans seemed to have used up all their luck. They had been plagued by bad luck and disasters. Less than two years after the apocalypse, humans had been forced to the most desolate corner of the world from being the overlords of the earth. They had struggled to survive, and when they finally managed to settle down, they were met with endless natural disasters.
Luo Yuan patted the dust off the ground. The rest of them stood up one by one, still in shock. Fortunately, none of them were seriously injured. Even Gu Meiyan, who looked the most seriously injured, only had some superficial wounds and bruises.
After surviving the calamity, everyone was emotional and hugged each other.
"I wonder how Huo Dong and Cao Ling are doing. And there are so many people in the shelter! "Huang Jiahui suddenly said after the excitement subsided. Everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.
"Sister Huang, no one wanted this to happen. The only thing we can do is pray." Wang Xiaguang shook her head and said guiltily.
Luo Yuan sighed. The earthquake was at least above magnitude nine. They might not have survived such a strong earthquake.
"Brother Luo, why don't we go back and have a look?" Wang Shishi said softly. "Maybe there are still people alive."
"Yes, Luo Yuan!" Zhao Yali agreed. Her face was pale.
Luo Yuan was shocked. He walked a few steps and stopped. He looked up and said, "Alright, let's go back and leave it to fate. We'll try our best to save as many people as we can."
Everyone's spirits were lifted, and the haze in their hearts quickly dissipated. Although they had come out alone to survive, they did not feel guilty. They just instinctively avoided talking about such things.
Especially when the survival of mankind was at stake, such independent behavior was no different from desertion. Now that they had such a chance to redeem themselves, they naturally had no objections.
...
King Kong and the giant lizard had run far away during the earthquake and had disappeared from his sight. Luo Yuan flew into the air and found them behind a sand dune. They were lying on the ground, trembling non-stop, especially the giant lizard. Its entire head was buried in the sand dune. No matter how Luo Yuan ordered it, it did not dare to stand up.
It seemed that animals were instinctively more afraid of natural disasters than humans. Even creatures as strong as the Giant Lizard and King Kong were still trembling in the face of natural disasters.
Luo Yuan comforted them for more than 10 minutes, punching and kicking them. Finally, the two giant beasts overcame their fear and stood up.
...
Everyone climbed up the giant lizard and began to walk back.
The road ahead was completely unfamiliar. He could no longer find the familiar scenery. Most of the electromagnetic towers had collapsed and there were cracks and faults everywhere on the ground. Luo Yuan even saw that the plains had now become a lake.
A huge amount of underground water gushed out like a fountain, forming a huge fountain that was more than 100 meters high in the middle of the lake.
When they passed by the ruins of the city again, they found that it had completely collapsed. A huge crack ran from east to west through the entire city. Two-thirds of the city on the left side had sunk more than 10 meters deep.
The scene in front of them was shocking, but it was followed by a deep sense of unease.
Obviously, the situation in Desert City was not much better.
Luo Yuan urged the giant lizard to speed up. Perhaps if they were fast enough, some people might survive.
However, after the violent earthquake, the pressure on the plates had been greatly relieved. The weak tremors on the ground had temporarily disappeared. It would be difficult to have another big earthquake in a short period of time.
Everyone had gradually adapted to the giant lizard's bumpy ride, which greatly increased its speed. It took them nearly 16 hours to get there, but only 10 hours to go back. When it was 2: 10 in the afternoon, Desert City was already in sight.
Zhao Yali quickly covered her mouth when she saw it. She looked terrified.
Luo Yuan could not believe it either. Although he had already prepared for the worst situation in Desert City, the scene in front of him still made his heart sink.
As far as he could see, the plain where Desert City was had disappeared. It was replaced by a series of small hills, or the prototype of a mountain range. These hills were more than 100 meters high, while the short ones were only about 10 meters high. They were like a long string of pearls, intertwined with each other and extending into the distance.
On the side of one of the hills, Luo Yuan saw the remnants of Desert City. A large amount of crushed concrete and wooden planks were scattered on the ground.
Luo Yuan's heart sank. Under the huge pressure between the plates, the shelter under Desert City was not much stronger than a piece of paper. He could only pray for a miracle.
He urged the giant lizard to run in that direction, and soon they arrived at their destination.
The rocks were still warm from the intense movement, and the ground was a mess. Other than the stone bricks and wooden planks, there were no traces of any buildings nearby.
Luo Yuan quickly jumped down, and the others followed along the rope.
"Luo Yuan, what should we do?" Huang Jiahui asked in a low mood.
"Let's dig and search," Luo Yuan said with a sigh.
Zhang Wu and the others were stunned, but before they could ask anything, Luo Yuan called King Kong over.
Luo Yuan called King Kong over and gestured with his hands as he spoke. King Kong's Intelligence had already reached 9 points, which was only slightly inferior to ordinary people. Simple commands were not a problem for it. Even if it was a complicated command, as long as there were gestures and demonstrations, it could understand it quickly.
Luo Yuan gestured to the ground to dig. King Kong scratched its head and tried to dig. Seeing Luo Yuan nod, King Kong grinned and started to dig.
As a giant beast with tough skin and innate divine strength, coupled with a pair of agile hands, there was nothing more suitable for digging than it. At this time, it was like a giant machine with astonishing efficiency. With just one dig, it scattered more than a dozen tons of gravel hundreds of meters away.
Everyone hurriedly moved away in fear.
