Chapter 58
"We'll wait until the magnitude of the earthquake gets smaller." She couldn't decide how long it would be best to leave, but she definitely couldn't stay at the base.

Yao Chengxu nodded.

He looked around the crooked building, and then stared at the long crack: "I feel like I'm shaking when I'm sitting now."

"Me too." Sun Rui leaned on Zhao Peng, looking for a sense of security: "I hope the magnitude of the aftershock will be smaller."

Everyone thinks so.

But in fact, the first wave of aftershocks gave them the same feeling as the main shock, which also made people dizzy.

"Pay attention to your surroundings!" Wen Qizhou, who was worried about the second crack, stared at the ground with a pair of Ruifeng eyes.

They didn't dare to take it lightly, standing back to back, ready to flee elsewhere.

There was another "boom" sound, and a small crooked western-style building suddenly collapsed, intensifying the shaking of the ground, and carrying dust, it seemed to overturn all the people in the safe zone.

The small crack caused by the main shock earlier, after a wave of aftershocks, quietly extended nearby, crossing the frozen fish pond, like a pair of invisible hands grabbing the people not far from it, roaring and engulfing them.

"Ah!" The exclamation sounded.

Four people were dragged into the crack, and three of them uttered a cry, but nothing happened. Only the young man who reacted quickly remained, with his hands on the edge of the crack, struggling to climb up.

He was helpless to call for help, but people coming and going were chased by the crack, and no one dared to stop, and no one could help him.

There are many similar situations.

Especially for the elderly and infirm, it is more difficult for them to escape the "hunting" of the cracks, and they will be swallowed if they are not careful.

"Help……"

Voices that were also mixed with fear sounded from different populations, reaching everyone's ears deafeningly.

Chi Yue and the others chose to ignore them.

Because that crack was heading towards their position, they were going to flee in the opposite direction like everyone else.

She looked firmly at the next open space, and tried to stabilize every step she took to avoid accidentally falling again.

Fortunately, the aftershocks did not last long.

They were still running there, the ground and buildings no longer swayed, and the cracks like abysses that made people dare not look directly no longer extended forward as they wished.

But the surrounding atmosphere became more and more oppressive.

"God, you are going to drive us to a dead end!" The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged looked up at the sky, slapped his legs and cursed for a while, then laughed inexplicably.

His laughter was full of sarcasm and despair, which was actually more piercing than the sobbing of others. Some people were stimulated to scream wildly, while others rushed to the gap and jumped down.

"Crazy, they're crazy..." The old man standing beside Yao Chengwei danced and gestured at the group of people.

The expression on his face was very distorted, Yao Chengwei silently distanced himself from him to avoid uncontrollable changes.

Fortunately, people's emotions calmed down after the arrival of the gunmen. There were no more demented people jumping into the cracks, and those voices that could stir up other people's emotions disappeared.

Only sobs linger till nightfall.

"Let's set up a tent tonight and take turns to rest." Xie Changxiao thought that a vigil was necessary outside.

"Okay." No one objected.

While they were setting up their tents, other people also went home. Those who had tents came out with their tents in their arms, while those without tents took quilts and sleeping bags to keep out the cold, or built simple sheds.

Sun Rui couldn't help feeling surprised: "I thought someone would come to find us just now."
