Chapter 95 "Pretending to be Smart."

Mingzhang didn't ask any more questions.

He led the way with a flashlight, Chi Yue and his party followed closely behind, and the soldiers and base residents walked at the end.

The long team walked out of the courtyard gate, along a winding path, and shuttled through the back mountain covered with trees and green bamboos.

After walking for about two kilometers, the fire at the foot of Yuanyun Mountain spread up, and the fire was surrounded by billowing smoke, swaying in the direction of the main hall of the Taoist temple.

The instigator who left behind a raging fire passed through the source city aggressively at a speed of five or six hundred kilometers per hour, and rushed towards the Qingyang base below the source city in a straight line.

There was no army stationed at the Qingyang base, and the leadership did nothing. They only informed the residents that the tsunami was coming and asked them to evacuate on their own, then took their families and fled by helicopter.

Residents who didn't believe that there would be a tsunami at first, saw the leadership leaving in a helicopter, and the patrol team and medical team went on strike, and they also packed their bags.

But many people don't have transportation.

They either negotiated with their neighbors and exchanged supplies for a chance to hitchhike; they either squatted in the parking area and robbed them hard; or entered the official residential area to find a bicycle.

And Uncle Ge's family, who couldn't let go of supplies and couldn't grab others, watched a dozen or so bicycles in the residential area being ridden away, so they had to drag their suitcases and followed thirty people in the same situation as them to a building with eleven In a high-rise building, climb up to the roof to hide for a while.

They decided that the tsunami would not reach the eleventh floor, so they sat leisurely against the wall and chatted with the people next to them.

Aunt Ge didn't stop opening her mouth.

First, he complained that the leadership team didn't care about them, and then accused the people who robbed the car of being immoral, and spit was flying all over the sky.

She laughed at other people's stupidity: "I don't know what they are thinking. Isn't it good to go upstairs and hide? It's so troublesome to run out after the tsunami is over."

"Yes."

"They made themselves—"

The middle-aged man who agreed with Aunt Ge, hadn't finished saying "pretending to be smart", when he was suddenly thrown forward by the violent shaking of the building.

The moment his palm rested on the ground, he sensed the change in temperature. Just as he was wondering, he heard the young man sitting across from him raise his voice: "It's burning! It's burning!"

"Where is the fire?"

"Sea, sea water..."

"What are you talking about?" Ge Hui, who used his strength to stabilize his figure, said inexplicably, "How could the sea be on fire?"

The youth did not respond.

The rest of the people sensed the surging heat wave and got up one after another, staring at the red light not far away like a young man in a daze.

Seeing the eighty-nine-meter-high seawater engulfed in flames, rushing towards the base with an irresistible force, their brains were buzzing, and their legs were as if filled with lead, making it difficult to move half a step.

"Run!"

I don't know who made a heart-piercing roar.

Ge Hui suddenly came back to his senses.

He dragged his pale girlfriend, called his parents, and ran towards the door leading downstairs at a very fast speed.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The glaring red waves hit the roof, engulfed in high temperature and fire to catch up with their steps, and instantly submerged Ge Hui's family who were stumbled to the ground by the violent vibration.

Accompanied by screams, the sea water rushed down the corridor, passing through the doors and windows of the building and hitting every corner, swallowing all the people who hadn't left in the shortest possible time.

The voice stopped.

The fire ignited the building.

The billowing smoke rising from all around covered up the direction of the tsunami, and silently turned Qingyang into a dead city.

*
"Should the tsunami reach Qingyang?" Ge Qinyao, who was walking on the mountain road, imagined the direction of the tsunami with divergent thinking.

"Calculate the time, it's about the same."

"Then Ge Hui and the others..." She paused for two seconds, then turned to look at Ge Huai: "Do you think they can survive?"

"No."

Ge Huai knew that family too well.

He said firmly: "They will never leave the base without a car or an army escort."

He and Ge Qinyao knew the situation of Qingyang base very well. If Ge Hui's family chose to stay, they would die.

Ge Qinyao sighed with emotion.

She raised her arm and weighed the sack that Ge Huai was carrying on her shoulder: "A person's choice at a critical moment is too important."

"Indeed." Xie Changxiao felt the same way.

He walked around a dry tree branch: "I used to make a wrong choice and I could start over, but now... Maybe I will lose my life."

It's like walking a tightrope.

If you are not careful, you will be lost forever.

"Well, we're about to make a choice." Wen Qizhou stopped, his eyes turned to the position illuminated by the flashlight.

"What choice?"

"Take the rope bridge or take a detour."

There is a cable bridge directly in front of them. The cable bridge is made of iron chains and planks. It is nearly one meter wide and nearly 60 meters long.

The rusty iron chains and the sparse and blackened long wooden boards do not seem to be strong enough to make people feel safe.

"Master Ming, how high is this bridge?" Chi Yue walked to the side of the bridge, with his palm resting on the iron chain, and took a flashlight to shine down.

"Two thirty meters."

After answering, Mingzhang said in front of the two soldiers: "This bridge has been around for some years, I can't guarantee that there will be no accidents. Think about it carefully, if you don't dare to walk, just go around it."

Soldier: "How long does it take to go around?"
