Chapter 316: Chapter 316 House Collapse

Jhiang Yuan tilted her head, looking at him.

Sincere, innocent, with no deceit...

"I understand, I’ll head back first."

It was pointless to ask; it would only serve to embarrass herself.

Besides, Song Yi had put it that way because he did not want her to know.

After all, considering the nature of their current relationship, saying too much was not advisable, so she let it be.

After being escorted back, Jhiang Yuan’s worries only grew.

Not wanting to burden her parents with anxiety, she kept it to herself.

Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue had not been idle these past few days, tending to the vegetable garden in the space very well.

They even planted more pumpkins, winter melons, and gourds.

They chose large, high-yield crops that were filling.

In addition, they harvested a lot of mature vegetables, drying what they could,

and blanching and freezing what could not be dried.

With all the supplies in the house, including those previously collected from the building materials store, they had quite a few appliances left.

"Yuanyuan, we have a lot of supplies, we should eat more vegetables and such.

These corn kernels are limited, so let’s not consume them this year.

Let’s save all of them as seeds, and next year we can eat as much as we want."

"Alright..."

Jhiang Yuan had the same plan; corn was a staple food that was high-yielding and nutritious.

Being self-sufficient was definitely a good thing.

"Dad, Mom, the wind is too strong now, we have to be careful."

The family encouraged each other, but they couldn’t stay hidden forever.

Occasionally, they still needed to go downstairs to fetch water and the like.

It wasn’t affecting them yet, and she made a point of going out daily, to show her face.

Other than mealtime, Jhiang Yuan rarely stayed inside the space.

However, this particular night was somewhat different.

She had grabbed some melon seeds and was reading a story happily.

A loud bang pulled her back to reality.

She quickly grabbed her binoculars to see what had happened; the final building had actually collapsed.

It was an old building whose rooftop was blown off completely.

It smashed onto the neighboring building, precisely where people lived at the rescue center.

Goodness, she was terrified; how strong was that wind!

Shock was all she felt.

At the same time, she felt fear. If that area was compromised, their place might not be safe for much longer either.

How long they could hold out was uncertain.

"Damn it..."

There was indeed activity over there; it took less than five minutes for someone to come out and look around.

With flashlights flickering, it was highly conspicuous.

However, they couldn’t do much; after a while, they all went back.

Jhiang Yuan was still curious, unsure of what to do.

Inside, a profound sense of fear took hold.

Soon, that noise came again.

Earlier, it was only the roof that flew off; now the entire building had collapsed.

Even the adjacent building was impacted.

The windows shattered; no telling if the people inside were injured.

This wasn’t good!

She was instantly alarmed and didn’t bother to keep watching; she hurried inside.

The anticipated explosion didn’t come, but she dared not return, even the house seemed unreliable now.

Jhiang Yuan wouldn’t take the risk, and headed straight into the space.

It was nighttime now, so she decided to go to bed early.

In the middle of the night, conditions outside worsened.

She sensed the situation through her thoughts, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted.

The sound of "whooshing" was incessant.

Realizing the gravity, Jhiang Yuan swiftly sat up and went to wake Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue.

It seemed their house’s windows had shattered, and they had to be ready to leave at any moment.

Xiao Nuan was also roused, wrapped up tightly.

They were potentially in for a long time; they absolutely could not afford to catch a cold.

Indeed, it didn’t take two minutes before the sound of knocking arose.

"Let’s go."

At the command, everyone exited the space.

Jhiang Xingzhi went to open the door and met Song Yi’s anxious gaze.

Without a word, he dragged him inside.

"Xiao Song, ah, the glass at your place shattered, is everyone alright?"

His voice wasn’t quiet either; with the howling wind, he needed to be loud to be heard.

"Uncle, we need to pack up and leave with me right now."

"Where to?"

"A safe place, hurry..."

Now was not the time for talking. Jhiang Yuan heard as well and didn’t let her dad interrogate further.

There wasn’t much left at home to begin with.

Besides some everyday items, the rest were already packed in bags.

Suddenly, everything was ready to go.

Jhiang Xingzhi was holding Xiao Nuan, each person carried a backpack, and Qin Yue had a bag.

Song Yi had already gone ahead; he still had others to notify.

By the time they came out, there were already many people here.

Liang Kang carried Jingjing out, covering her with a blanket.

She was injured, and it was best to keep her away from the wind as much as possible.

"Sister Yuan, we need to hurry."

Ye Mianmian said, coming over to pull her along.

Several people rushed downstairs hurriedly, also encountering many others along the way.

It seemed they were all heading the same direction, with people on every floor.

No one dared to talk. Carrying a lot and accompanied by family, they all ran downstairs.

They couldn’t see Song Yi; he must have gone down already.

The stairwell was a bit crowded, but no one was crashing into each other; although it was slow, there was steady movement.

"Move quicker..."

The duty officer also came to help maintain order.

Jhiang Yuan saw Song Yi; he had grabbed his things and was now coming out with them.

"Hurry up..."

No one knew who shouted, but the building next to them actually collapsed from the roof down, completely falling apart.

"Quick..."

It was all concrete and red bricks, rolling along the direction of the wind, some towards the crowd.

They struck the people as they came.

Everyone was stunned. In the next second, they began to sprint madly.

It wasn’t just their building; the others were also starting to show signs of collapse.

Imagine people fleeing in front, while the buildings behind them fell one by one.

The wind whipped up construction debris, hitting those at the back.

There were screams, calls for help, one after another.

But who could really take care of anyone else?

From the other buildings as well, people continued to run out, now in front of them.

By the time they reached the main street, the shopfront buildings had completely fallen.

To get past, they had to walk over rubble and ruins.

And the time was limited; they absolutely could not afford to be slow.

Among the debris, there inevitably were dangerous objects like steel bars.

But the collapsing buildings behind were even more frightening.

The visual impact was certainly greater.

"Run faster..."

Someone took the lead, and the rest followed one after the other.

Song Yi came over to Jhiang Xingzhi, handing his bag over to him.

"Uncle, give me Xiao Nuan..."

It all happened in the blink of an eye; Jhiang Yuan was behind and by the time she saw it, it was too late to stop it.

Damn it, in this chaos, she could have taken everyone into the space.

It was so chaotic, no one would have noticed.

Now that Song Yi had taken the child, she could only follow.

Although he meant well, why did she feel so uneased by it.
