Chapter 371: Chapter 371: The Earthquake Came Early

"We won’t know unless we try."

Song Yi looked ahead, not understanding, and closed his eyes.

Zhang Kaiyang glanced at Jhiang Yuan next to him, deeply puzzled.

But that was all they could do.

Some people were already dissatisfied and wanted to leave this place.

When the wind blew, the sand indeed got into their eyes.

"Alright, let’s go. We’ll come back later."

As soon as Song Yi finished speaking, he suddenly felt unstable on his feet.

He swayed from side to side and knew something was wrong.

"The earthquake is coming, the earthquake is coming..."

Jhiang Yuan also reacted immediately, quickly turning back to check on her parents and daughter.

Luckily, they were only about five meters away, not too far.

However, their situation wasn’t good either.

The ground began to shake, and they couldn’t stand steady; mom had already fallen.

"Yuanyuan~"

Ye Mianmian was alright, right beside her.

"Mianmian, quick, crawl over."

Her voice was loud, and heard by the other side.

Under these circumstances, walking over was impossible.

Crawling was indeed a good solution.

Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue also moved in their direction, fortunately not too far away, and once they met, Jhiang Yuan immediately pulled everyone into the space.

Everyone sat on the ground, with Xiao Nuan crying in fear.

"Mommy, Mommy~"

"Don’t be scared, baby, don’t be scared..."

She consoled her, not daring to delay for too long since she could still sense the situation outside.

Finally, Song Yi called out to her; Jhiang Yuan did not respond, but pulled people into the space.

However, he let out a long sigh of relief as if his tense nerves had finally relaxed.

So, he called her not to come in together but out of genuine concern.

"What are you going to do?"

"Mom, I need to go out and see what’s happening."

"You must not go, there’s an earthquake outside, how can you dare to go out.

I won’t allow you to go, just stay here safely."

"Mom, if I don’t go out, soon it may really be impossible to get out."

How could Jhiang Yuan not understand her mother’s worries? Yet, she couldn’t ignore the situation outside.

She had disappeared suddenly just before, she didn’t know if anyone had seen it, but she felt that the noise outside had lessened a bit.

After setting down her daughter and offering a few words of comfort, she went out on her own.

The earthquake continued, fortunately without casualties.

Everyone was lying on the ground, the white sand flying, and no one dared to look up.

The situation on the other side was not good at all; they were under a tree which, trembling, had collapsed quite a bit.

Large branches fell down. Although not fatal, the situation was still very terrifying.

Jhiang Yuan reached Song Yi, he sensed her and looked up, seeing her.

His eyes were filled with deep reprimand, but he couldn’t speak now, the sandstorm was overwhelming.

He quickly removed his protective goggles, intending to put them on Jhiang Yuan, then pushed her head down.

This guy, really rough!

In such a scene, utterly unromantic, what a waste.

Jhiang Yuan muttered to herself internally, yet her actions were swift.

Life-threatening matters were at hand; she hurriedly pulled up her large scarf, not neglecting the slightest detail.

About ten minutes later, the shaking finally lessened, and they could stand up.

Not for anything else but to escape from this sandy area, which was very necessary.

The most critical point was that the white sand was surrounded by large trees, seeming utterly inescapable.

It belonged to the kind where the dust storm grew stronger, making it impossible to keep your eyes open.

Song Yi pulled her along. He didn’t speak but just kept running to the side.

Jhiang Yuan also couldn’t see clearly. As long as they didn’t bump into anyone, it was manageable.

Everyone was moving fast, but, after all, there were some who hadn’t moved and were still lying on the ground.

Among them were Xiao Ling and Jingjing. It was indeed difficult for one person to manage with a child.

Jhiang Yuan wanted to help her but simply didn’t have the strength.

By the time they reached the trees, the shaking had turned into a trembling; the magnitude had decreased significantly.

"Xiao Ling, hurry over here, Xiao Ling..."

She shouted loudly, and there indeed was movement on the other side.

They looked up blankly, which spurred them into action.

As more voices were heard, the situation also improved.

Everyone gradually came outside, unsure why the earthquake had occurred earlier than expected.

However, that just now wasn’t of a very high magnitude.

Song Yi had mentioned it could be fatal, particularly the kind that erupted at night.

Now, they still couldn’t afford to be careless.

Being at Half Moon Lake, they indeed had an advantage.

At least everyone was safe, but those in the woods weren’t so lucky.

One after another, screams of agony were heard as Song Yi had already gone to help.

Fortunately, it was just some trees. Moving the branches aside would suffice.

Jhiang Yuan was somewhat worried and quickly found a tree to hide behind as she brought her dad and others out, playing the part to the fullest!

Qin Yue, seeing the scene before her, was also shocked senseless. Without time to blame Jhiang Yuan, she rushed to help others.

"Dad, Mom, I know what you mean, just don’t go too deep and don’t stray too far from me, okay?"

"Yes!"

At this moment, nobody was dallying. Not knowing if there were aftershocks, everyone needed to stay alert.

"Jingjing, hurry up~"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t go to rescue others but waited in place for Xiao Ling and Jingjing to come over.

The little girl, her eyes closed, was carried over by her mother.

She quickly took the child from her arms to check for injuries.

"It’s fine, just some dirt..."

Saying this, she quickly took out some soft cotton wipes.

She wiped around the nose, ears, mouth, and eyes.

Xiao Ling also felt a sense of having survived a catastrophe, sitting on the ground and gasping for breath.

Just now, she had nearly passed out.

The feeling of breathing freely was wonderful; Half Moon Lake was truly terrifying.

However, before she could even start to complain, she saw the scene before her and was utterly shocked.

"Yuanyuan, they..."

"Hurry up, get up and take care of Jingjing, I’ll go help!"

There had been no shortage of onlookers before, including some old people and children.

The village had been quiet for so long; now that something had happened, everyone wanted to watch the excitement.

But then, disaster struck.

Mournful cries and shouts were unceasing.

But why hadn’t anyone from the village come to save them yet? Was it also severe inside?

With everyone’s participation, the rescue operations were very swift.

Over thirty people had been rescued.

"What do we do now?"

Lu Er came over to ask Song Yi’s opinion, as he was out of ideas and looked up to Song Yi as the leader.

"Send them back."

Those not seriously injured could walk by themselves, even carrying some of the elderly and children.

The more seriously injured had to be carried by others, as resources were limited and there were no stretchers available.
