Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Departure

Hearing this, Xiao Ling was momentarily stunned.

"We hid, initially thinking it was an earthquake,

so we hid in the bathroom, nothing serious."

Indeed, they not only figured out it was an avalanche and not an earthquake,

but also knew how to avoid the risk properly, probably because of the drills at school.

Like Zhang Kaiyang, whose first reaction was to run outside, only to end up with a broken bone.

It seems that certain professional qualities can indeed save lives in critical moments.

"It’s good you’re not hurt, hurry up, we need to leave here now."

"Okay!"

The couple were both unharmed and had already packed most of their belongings, thinking of leaving themselves.

After Jhiang Yuan and the others arrived, they went to the door of 2002.

"How’s the packing going?"

"Sister Yuan, a lot of stuff can’t be taken out, but thankfully we prepared plenty, so we can leave immediately."

Fan Qing felt a bit troubled, now of all times, she felt she couldn’t let go of anything.

Leaving here, who knew what the future held, so it was best to bring as much as they could.

"Qingqing, how about you?"

"Ah? We, we’re also okay..."

No matter if there were problems or not, they couldn’t wait now.

The cold weather was simply killing.

Taking advantage of the early time, they had to quickly figure out a way to get out.

They also needed to find a suitable place to rest, otherwise, they would freeze to death at night.

"Song Yi, we probably can’t go out from the bottom, it’s too dangerous."

If the building shook, they could all be buried, a horrifying thought.

"Yeah, let’s go up first, and then leave from the upper floors later."

"Okay!"

Jhiang Yuan was also somewhat speechless, with so many people, she couldn’t stay in the space.

It might be better to take this chance to find a new place to settle down, making everything a bit easier.

She couldn’t always stay in the space, she had to endure when possible.

That way, she could create a slim chance of survival for Xiao Nuan later on.

In her heart, she always felt that the apocalypse wouldn’t end too soon.

Everything had to be considered in the long run.

Moreover, she wasn’t someone who lives only for the moment.

All the people had gathered here.

Song Yi looked at the protruding concrete block in the middle, which was hanging in the air.

If they weren’t careful and misstepped or fell, it wouldn’t be good at all.

In the current situation, any noise was a big taboo.

He was so focused, Liang Kang also noticed the situation here.

"Brother Song, how about this, let’s take this debris and stack it up.

With support, the concrete slab won’t dislodge.

We can also use this as a step to make it easier to climb up."

"Okay, let’s do that."

Indeed, it was a good idea, and everyone, both boys and girls, started looking for smaller building debris within their view.

In less than two minutes, that area was fixed, and Song Yi tried it out—the effect was good.

Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue watched from above, more anxious than anyone.

"I’ll go up first, then each of you come up one by one."

"Okay!"

Song Yi knew Jhiang Xingzhi had also been hit, so he didn’t let him pull people up, in case he strained himself and caused more trouble.

Jhiang Yuan’s hand had also been treated.

She wrapped it with a handkerchief and then wore gloves, making it seem as though there was no problem.

It was just a minor scratch, nothing serious, and a band-aid would do later when they got back.

Fan Qing went up second, then Liang Kang helped Zhang Kaiyang onto the middle concrete block.

Song Yi and the others were helping pull people up, and since he was not very agile now, that was all he could do.

Then Liang Kang went up and lifted Jingjing up.

Ye Mianmian, Xiao Ling, and the three of them below passed up the luggage.

After everything was done, the people went up.

Jhiang Yuan was the last one, almost pulled up by Song Yi, and she was still somewhat afraid.

If she accidentally let go, she would be left behind here.

...

"How are we going to get down from here, it’s so high?"

Ye Mianmian sighed, facing the real issue.

Everyone was now on the top floor, the twenty-first, and getting down was not going to be easy.

The flood had reached up to the fourteenth floor, and much of it was probably due to avalanches.

Thus, their distance from the ground ranged from the twentieth to the fourteenth floor.

Although standing on the twenty-first floor was at the bottom, this level was not counted in the height.

That totaled seven floors, and at two point eight meters per floor, it was nineteen point six meters, essentially twenty meters.

With the impact of the avalanche, the entire building had tilted quite a bit, so the height might be a little less.

Still, getting to the ground smoothly was going to be a troublesome affair.

"Let’s all rest a bit first, then we’ll go down using ropes later.

Jhiang Yuan, you go back and pack up your stuff."

"Okay!"

Song Yi also needed to go back; he had rushed out in a hurry to find Jhiang Yuan, and besides taking Little One with him, he hadn’t brought anything else.

Everyone sat down in groups of threes or twos, and Jhiang Yuan returned inside her house.

This self-built fortress was now lost, and she felt somewhat regretful in her heart.

No need for other things, but the solar panels and water purification system on the terrace had to be taken.

The route up was not easy to navigate, but they managed to get there, stumbling along the way.

She took out a large pair of pliers from her space and directly cut off the connecting wires and pipes on that side.

She hoped to save as much as possible, hoping to still be able to use it in the future.

These items were large, but they were easily handled in her space.

When she returned, Song Yi had not come out yet, and Jhiang Yuan was worried.

Driven by humanitarianism, she went to find him.

"My goodness..."

His home’s front door was a blast door, still standing strong.

However, the situation inside was much worse; many expensive liquor bottles on the wine cabinet were now shattered on the floor.

Really, it shouldn’t have been like this, and now there was the worry of stepping on broken glass.

"Song Yi, are you done?"

"Here, almost..."

Jhiang Yuan followed the voice and saw him gathering things inside the room.

It was three large woven bags, clearly intending to take as much as possible.

"Do you need help?"

She asked politely, truthfully speaking.

At that critical moment of life and death, she really didn’t expect that Song Yi would actually rush over to find them.

"Could you take this bag for me..."

It was a small bag, very light...

"What is this?"

"Rope, we’ll use it in a bit..."

No wonder he seemed so confident; he had been prepared all along.

When Song Yi finished speaking, he went to the side to enter a password, and Jhiang Yuan saw it all.

"Isn’t this a refrigerator?"

"No, just a safe..."

Then, he nonchalantly opened it right in front of her.

Oh my, the safe was actually full of cash and gold bars!

Jhiang Yuan unconsciously took a couple of steps forward, her face filled with shock, "Song Yi, what on earth did you used to do?"
