When the entire island started shaking, Jiang Qing, who was at the underground dock, had already felt that something was wrong.
Looking at the rubble that kept falling from the ceiling of the cave and the mountain that was cracking more and more, she thought to herself, "An earthquake?"
Although it was a little risky to go out now, Jiang Qing still chose to crawl out through the ventilation duct in the face of the increasingly serious earthquake.
At this time, the pirate base had already begun to collapse on a large scale. Most of the ghouls that had been taken in had died unnatural deaths. Jiang Qing had also encountered a few ghouls along the way, but most of the ghouls that had been left behind were not strong. Their physical strength was only pink, and they were all killed by Jiang Qing cleanly.
Jiang Qing's strength did not seem strong, but it depended on who she was compared to. Purple Innate Qi now accounted for about 15% of her strength. In front of Zuo Zhicheng, she was indeed weak. However, her strength was enough to deal with ordinary warriors or ghouls that were slightly more powerful.
'Hide in the shadows. Calm down, calm down, and be careful. '
Reciting the tips that Zuo Zhicheng had taught her along the way, Jiang Qing lay down beside a pile of rubble.'What's going on? Did all the ghouls run away because of the earthquake? What about Ah Zuo? '
'No, he should be fine. With the strength that he displayed before, he should be fine. '
Just as Jiang Qing was hesitating whether to leave the pirate base or stay here and wait for Zuo Zhicheng, an even more intense tremor came from below.
Boom, boom, boom, boom. The sound of the ground cracking continuously sounded like muffled thunder coming from underground.
Then, as if the whole world was about to be turned upside down, the ground beneath her feet instantly cracked open. The entire western slope of the island was like a broken cake, shattering into countless rock masses of various sizes and falling toward the sea.
The human body instantly felt weightless. Coupled with the earth-shattering scene in front of them, it was enough to make anyone stunned in an instant.
Naturally, Jiang Qing was the same. In the face of such a calamitous scene, she had no strength to resist at all.
'Am I going to die? '
At this moment, a figure kept jumping between the cracked rock masses. Even if he was standing on a piece of falling rock, he could still jump from one piece to another.
The figure was very fast. The strong wind blew on his body and wrapped his clothes tightly, making them flutter in the wind.
The person who could escape so quickly in such a disaster was naturally Zuo Zhicheng, who had just rushed out of the tower. He turned slightly and was already beside Jiang Qing's side. He carried her in his arms and continued to rush toward the east of the island.
Jiang Qing could not open her eyes due to the smoke, the loud noise, and the strong wind. The only thing she could feel was that she was still being carried and moved at high speed. Her eyes were dazzled, and the world was spinning. She did not know how long it had been before she realized that she had been placed on the ground.
She turned her head and saw that three meters behind her had become a cliff. Large amounts of smoke and dust had buried the former pirate base, making it impossible to see what had become of it. The only thing that could be heard was the soul-stirring sound of the collapse, which made people look at the ground under their feet in fear.
After recovering from the shock, Jiang Qing looked at the man beside her. Zuo Zhicheng had shaved his hair because of the transformation and surgery. However, after the transformation, his hair grew back, and his face also changed because of the transformation. He looked more handsome and strong.
However, compared to his appearance, the biggest change was his temperament, or rather, his spirit.
If the previous Zuo Zhicheng looked more introverted and cold, then the current Zuo Zhicheng did not feel like a human at all, but like a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg. Once someone got close to him, they would be frozen to death.
Jiang Qing looked at Zuo Zhicheng in a daze and said softly.
"You... Are you Zuo Zhicheng?"
She could clearly feel that the Zuo Zhicheng in front of her was no longer the Zuo Zhicheng of the past. Something seemed to have happened to him.
Zuo Zhicheng glanced at her. That cold feeling made Jiang Qing feel as if he was not looking at a person, but at a rock or a chair. "Get ready to go. We need to leave this place first."
He had just observed from the edge of the cliff. The veins under his feet were still moving, and there was no way to retrieve the large amount of information in the tower. Now, the cave pier was also buried because of the collapse of the slope.
It could even be said that the collapse of this place was due to the large number of caves hidden under the slope. Therefore, this place was the first to collapse during the earthquake.
'However, if these changes were to continue, the entire island might welcome a calamity. '
Since the cave pier could not be used, Zuo Zhicheng and the rest could only run to the west coast of the island and leave through Li Xunyi's island.
...
On the west coast, Li Xunyi and Liu Manwen led more than ten defeated soldiers and Abel, who they had met along the way. They ran all the way to the shore, then boarded a small boat that was left on the shore and rowed towards the big ship in the distance.
When they finally climbed onto the battleship, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Liu Manwen was panting heavily. Her ladylike image had long been thrown away. Coupled with her dusty and bloody clothes, she looked like a refugee who had just escaped. The rest of the defeated soldiers looked similar.
"We finally escaped."
"Those damn things won't chase after us, right?"
"Damn it, if they dare to chase after us, we'll blast them to death with the cannons on the ship."
At this moment, a sailor opened his mouth wide and stared in disbelief at the other side of the island, which was the direction of the slope.
"Sea... sea..."
"What's wrong?"
The others also turned their heads and looked. Immediately, their faces turned pale and filled with fear.
"It's a tsunami!"
Looking at the horizon, a wave that was more than a few hundred meters tall was rushing towards them. Looking at the momentum, it seemed like it was going to swallow the entire island.
"Is it a tsunami caused by the earthquake?"
"What should we do?"
Liu Manwen screamed, "Pull the sails! Set sail! Leave this place quickly! "
"Wait." At this moment, Li Xunyi went to stop the crew. He pointed in the direction of the beach and said, "Wait for him to get on the ship."
On the shore, Zuo Zhicheng carried Jiang Qing on his back and jumped into the sea like a black meteor.
"But it's too late. If this continues..."
Li Xunyi shook his sword finger and the flying sword was unsheathed. Although there was still a faint smile on his face, no one found it funny. "He saved my life. Of course, I can't just leave him like this."
As he spoke, white waves rose from the sea. Zuo Zhicheng was already swimming towards them like a torpedo.
"So fast!"
"It's like a shark!"
In more than 20 seconds, Zuo Zhicheng had arrived at the battleship. Li Xunyi threw down a rope and pulled Zuo Zhicheng and Jiang Qing up.
