Chapter 57 Earthquake
"We feel something is wrong." Wen Qizhou emphasized with a serious expression that their sixth sense was extremely effective.

His emotions are enough to affect others.

First of all, Sun Rui, who believes in the sixth sense the most, said anxiously: "Don't be dazed, hurry up and pack your bags!"

She ran to the bedroom in a panic, Yao Chengwei, who is used to brainstorming, didn't know what to think, and ran towards the room like the wind on the soles of his feet, facing the face that was paled by him.

Zhao Peng and Xie Changxiao immediately followed.

At the same time, Wen Qizhou turned back to the sixth floor and together with Chi Yue packed the necessary supplies in the suitcase and two shoulders.

After all the furniture and appliances were put into the space, he took the suitcase that only needed to appear on the bright side, took Chi Yue's hand, and went to the fourth floor to meet Xie Changxiao and the others.

They are all people who have experienced fleeing. They packed their luggage very quickly, and they gave up the items they couldn't take away.

Even so, the burden is still not light.

They stuffed all their luggage into the trunk, Zhao Peng glanced at the peaceful base, and his anxiety eased a lot.

"Brother Zhou, let's-"

A strong shock suddenly struck, and the two cars parked side by side shook non-stop, interrupting what he was saying.

A chill ran down his spine: "There's an earthquake!"

Everyone's expressions changed suddenly. Chi Yue, who was about to get into the car, retracted her steps, tried to stabilize her body during the shaking, turned around and ran towards the trunk with a sullen face.

Wen Qizhou, who didn't care about closing the trunk, stepped forward in panic and held her hand tightly, reminding others to run to the open space.

"Run forward! Don't stop!" They were too close to the mansion, and if the mansion collapsed, it would easily affect them.

In an instant, screams resounded through the base.

Those who were still in the residential building ran down desperately, while those outside ran to the open space without buildings.

The icy ground was slippery and the shaking made it difficult to find balance, causing many people to fall to the ground.

Chi Yue couldn't avoid it either.

The moment she tripped over a stone, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to support the ground, rubbing her palm against it, a tingling sensation hit her senses, and her knees and legs also became painful.

And Wen Qizhou, who was holding her left hand all the time, couldn't stand still in time because of her fall, and also staggered and fell down.

The shaking of the ground made him dizzy, he endured the discomfort caused by vision and body, and stood up with his arms around Chi Yue's waist.

Xie Changxiao, who had been following behind him, came over to help, and the three of them were about to move on when Chi Yue suddenly made a sound.

"Wait!" Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a crack extending obliquely from the right in front of them: "There is a crack over there!"

The "creaking" sound of cracking the ground was getting closer.

Wen Qizhou broke out in a cold sweat, and called Xie Changxiao to run to the left together. Even though there were screams behind him, he never looked back, and ran to the open space with all his heart.

"Boom---"

A small western-style building collapsed suddenly.

The violent movement made the ground tremble, and the three people who had already stopped in a safe area, supported each other to stabilize their bodies, and followed the sound to glance at their backs.

The one-meter-wide crack extended to the collapsed house, and the dust was everywhere, drowning out countless screams.

Some people ran to the open space in panic, some stood beside the crack and dragged their companions who fell into it, and some were frightened and stood still, looking at the crack that swallowed people.

It was a mess all around, like being in a purgatory on earth, and even the rays of the sun were chilling.

Chi Yue even lowered her panting.

Her eyes were locked on the picture full of despair, death, and sadness, and the hand holding Wen Qizhou couldn't help shaking.

And Wen Qizhou and Xie Changxiao also stared at this scene in a daze, their minds went blank, and they all fell into a long silence.

As the earthquake subsided and the cries became clearer in their ears, they were dragged back to reality by the joy of the rest of their lives.

Wen Qizhou took a deep breath, recalling that Chi Yue's palm was scratched, and wanted to apply medicine to her but found that she didn't have a backpack.

He held her hand distressedly, took out the wet tissue in his pocket, and wiped it for her: "Yueyue, did you knock your knee when you fell down just now? Does it hurt now?"

"Fortunately, it should be fine." Chi Yue withdrew her gaze from a distance, and leaned against his arms to absorb the warmth she needed.

Today's move really surprised her.

Perhaps since the moment of her rebirth, the butterfly effect has been triggered. There are too many things that have changed in the previous life and this life, and those memories can no longer be used as an accurate reference.

She was a little confused.

But listening to Wen Qizhou's strong heartbeat, her indomitable courage quickly washed away the confusion in her heart.

"There will definitely be aftershocks." She raised her head and met Wen Qizhou's gaze: "Let's go back to the car and get the tent."

Hurrying is impossible.

If they encountered a wide crack caused by an earthquake while driving, they would not even have a chance to escape.

"Okay." Wen Qizhou patted her head.

He dragged Xie Changxiao, who didn't say a word, to the direction of the mansion, and he would look for Zhao Peng and the others on the way.

Fortunately, the distance between them was not too far. As soon as the three of them heard his call, they immediately followed the sound to find them.

Seeing Yao Chengwei walk to the front with the swollen bump on his forehead, Xie Changxiao, who was relieved, frowned and looked at him: "Where did you hit? It's so serious."

"Guide signs." Yao Chengwei recounted the shocking moment before, and patted his chest with fear on his face: "Fortunately, I ran fast enough, otherwise I would have fallen into that crack."

Sun Rui and Zhao Peng felt the same way.

They witnessed others fall into the crack with their own eyes, and that heart is still hanging there. Even if there is no second crack or aftershock at this moment, they are still trembling.

"Let's go quickly." Zhao Peng heard that they were about to take the tent, and interrupted Yao Chengwei who was chattering: "It's important."

They walked up to the two cars and took a look at the crooked small western-style building. They didn't dare to delay too long. As soon as they got the things they would use for the night, they immediately walked to the open space without cracks.

Since it was still dark, they didn't know how powerful the aftershocks would be. They didn't set up a tent for the time being. They just laid thick mats on the ground and sat down to rest for a while.

"Sister Yue." Sun Rui adjusted her mood, and asked Chi Yue quite seriously: "Do you still have a bad premonition?"

Premonition is a word full of metaphysics, and most people can't fully believe it, including Xie Changxiao and Zhao Peng. They were willing to listen to Qizhou's words at first, and packed their luggage without hesitation, but it was only out of trust in them.

But it's different now.

After the sudden earthquake, they believed in their premonition, and they all looked at Chi Yue, waiting for her to give her an answer.

Chi Yue shook her head: "Not yet."

"Then how long do you think it's appropriate for us to go?" Yao Chengwei frowned, the swelling on his forehead looked a little funny.
