Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse
Chapter 256 Avalanche

Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Avalanche

Jhiang Yuan put away the water bag, took the storybook, and coaxed her daughter to sleep.

Beyond that, who knows what might happen, she cherished the wonderful moment!

Her daughter soon fell asleep, and Jhiang Yuan prepared for bed too. Staying up to celebrate New Year’s Eve wasn’t too meaningful anyway.

Outside, Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue both took a tablet and went back to the bedroom to watch.

Having to turn on an extra electric heater in the living room wasn’t as good as lying in a warm bed.

The night was very quiet, even with the New Year, nothing had changed.

She was sleeping soundly when suddenly a bright flare erupted in the sky.

It illuminated the windows, oddly enough.

She was asleep but woke up instantly at the sight.

Due to the good sound insulation of the house, she had no idea what was happening outside.

Jhiang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. Such brightness, could it be some kind of destructive weapon?

She didn’t understand these things, but such brightness was definitely out of the ordinary.

She hurriedly got up, without even taking the time to throw on clothes.

Outside the window, everything had returned to silence again as if the incident had never happened.

It just so happened to be midnight, Chuyi had arrived, and Jhiang Yuan wondered if what she had just witnessed was a dream.

Just as she decided to head back, another beautiful firework shot up into the sky, lighting up the entire night.

"Oh my goodness..."

This time she saw it clearly, it really was fireworks, because they burst open when they reached the sky.

It turned into dazzling fireworks, set off by those above.

Only some larger villages with more inhabitants or the inscrutable Misty World could be capable of such a feat.

But really, was such a large display a good idea?

Besides this, there would probably be other firecrackers, it’s just that they couldn’t be heard from here.

Jhiang Yuan sighed, quickly went back to bed, and lay down; it was simply too cold.

The next morning, they ate dumplings as usual, but this time it was dry dumplings dipped in vinegar.

Right after they finished eating, Song Yi and others arrived.

Everyone exchanged New Year’s greetings, and Xiao Nuan even received a red envelope.

Though money wasn’t worth much now, the sense of ceremony was still important.

By ten o’clock, after a few pleasantries, Jhiang Yuan wanted to talk about last night’s incident.

So she gathered everyone in the hallway, where a window was open and it was a bit cold outside.

"You saw it too, Sister Yuan?

I thought I was dreaming, but there really were people setting off fireworks."

"Yes, and firecrackers too."

She was speaking when a not-so-subtle commotion suddenly started in the distance.

Heard from there, Song Yi quickly moved to the window, looking for the exact source of the noise.

"Where is this coming from, why set off firecrackers on Chuyi?"

Zhang Kaiyang didn’t understand the local customs and just felt that having the mood to do this during the apocalypse was quite meticulous.

"They’re playing with fire. Everyone, hurry back and pack important things. If the noise gets too loud, it could easily trigger an avalanche."

"Brother Song, are you joking? Just a couple of firecrackers, and besides, we’re so far away..."

Zhang Kaiyang even laughed out loud, but Jhiang Yuan, a little scared, didn’t wait and ran straight back.

"Dad, mom, Xiao Nuan, come over here to the balcony..."

Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue did not understand what was going on, and there was no time to ask.

They rushed over, only to see Jhiang Yuan had drawn the curtains open.

It had been a long time since there’d been such brightness, and it took a moment to adjust.

"Daughter, what are you looking at?"

Their place was well positioned, backed by mountains and near water, though not too close.

But in the city, it was an excellent spot for retirement.

From here, one could see the University City on the mountain, and the uneven plateau rising above.

"Oh no..."

Jhiang Yuan saw something white moving on the mountain, but since everything around was white, it wasn’t obvious.

Even so, with the high-powered binoculars, she still noticed it.

It was precisely what she had feared, that mass of white, mist-like substance, was moving faster and faster.

It seemed to be following the road ahead, and the village below would likely be buried.

Jhiang Yuan’s heart clenched, it was terrifying, truly terrifying.

"Oh no, oh no, it’s really an avalanche.

Mom and Dad, hold Xiao Nuan, and stay here, don’t leave me for a moment..."

Jhiang Yuan thought to herself that this was a critical moment.

It depended on whether the snow could reach them; if it really did, she wouldn’t hesitate to take her parents and Xiao Nuan into the space.

If not, thank heaven, their house would still be there, and they would have a place to shelter.

The avalanche felt like flowing snow, madly surging forward.

Before they could react, it had already reached them.

She was scared and anxious, her palms sweaty.

"My dear, no, I need to grab some things."

"Don’t go..."

Jhiang Yuan’s voice was loud, almost to the point of being out of tune. She put down the binoculars and grabbed Jhiang Xingzhi’s hand.

"Just wait here, don’t go anywhere."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she suddenly felt the entire house begin to shake.

The chandelier on the dining table started to sway from side to side, and when she turned around, the snow stream had already come down the road ahead.

It was right at the fork in the road by the green belt. With the binoculars, it seemed to be right before her eyes.

All was lost, Jhiang Yuan knew that this time it might be over.

As she worried, the snow stream suddenly slowed down, then gradually stopped near the bus stop ahead.

Is this?

Over?

She couldn’t believe her eyes and looked several times over.

Jhiang Xingzhi beside her was also very anxious, waiting for her binoculars.

"My girl, has it stopped? Should I go have a look in the corridor?"

"No!"

Her voice was sharp and a bit harsh.

Suddenly feeling overly tense, she took three deep breaths, and then said, "Dad, I’ll go with you. Not just that, Xiao Nuan and Mom should also follow..."

Now, every member of the family had to be within her reach, a single step apart was not allowed.

"Let’s go!"

At the door, as soon as it opened, snowflakes rushed towards them.

"My goodness!"

Jhiang Xingzhi quickly shut the door, as quite a few had already flown into the room.

"It’s right at our doorstep, there must be a lot more in the air. Luckily, it didn’t come our way; otherwise, it would have been much worse."

"This won’t do, we need to close the windows, or how will we get out later?"

Jhiang Xingzhi said this as he braved the snowflakes to head out.

Jhiang Yuan couldn’t stop him in time. With no other choice, she steeled herself and followed.

The hallway was completely full, you couldn’t even open your eyes.

Let alone speak; you couldn’t even open your mouth unless you wanted to eat snow.

After much effort, they reached the window. She reached out to close it, but couldn’t manage to do so.

Jhiang Yuan was anxious, not knowing what was happening, she wanted to help.

"Stop!"
