Chapter 379: Chapter 379: The Vanished Village

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.

Jhiang Yuan thought, why not just dig it out and see, what if it actually works?

"Song Yi, give me..."

As she spoke, she passed a small shovel over, the kind stored from before.

Jhiang Xingzhi took the shovel from Jhiang Yuan’s hand, and the two of them set to work digging.

"Ah..."

A sharp scream came from beneath the ground, echoing with intense pain.

The two looked at each other doubtfully and resumed their work.

This time, Song Yi exerted great force and broke off a chunk.

"Ah..."

The screams from below had reached a spine-chilling level.

From the spot where his shovel struck, a red liquid began to seep out, smelling somewhat fishy.

"That, that’s blood!"

Everyone took a few steps back, moving away from the scene.

"Oh my God, this is really off the charts. How could something like this happen? It’s too bizarre."

Jhiang Xingzhi couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat; he had never anticipated things would turn out this way.

Mainly, it’s just not scientifically possible!

He couldn’t figure it out, couldn’t make sense of it at all.

Jhiang Yuan, however, was somewhat better off, as she had seen such a scene yesterday, though with their digging today and the cries for help from beneath, it certainly added a more supernatural element.

However, she was prepared for it now.

At this point, even if the sun rose in the west, she wouldn’t find it inappropriate.

Yes, the sun.

Jhiang Yuan looked up and saw the long-absent sun hanging in the sky.

She hadn’t seen the sun since the torrential rain.

Even afterward, it was always gloomy, as if covered by something.

This time, although it wasn’t a dazzling radiance,

one could clearly see it was red.

"Look, the sun is out..."

Everyone raised their heads to see this, equally dumbfounded.

Heavens, it really was the sun.

"Holy crap, the sun’s out!"

Zhang Kaiyang got excited too; this was indeed rare.

Moreover, it seemed like with the appearance of the sun, hope had arrived.

"It really is the sun, we are saved..."

The speaker was Fan Qing, who was very excited and held Zhang Kaiyang’s arm, shaking it vigorously.

"So, should we continue to dig or not?"

Jhiang Xingzhi didn’t mention the matter of the sun but asked about the situation below.

Everyone was at a loss for words; this matter was indeed hard to discuss.

"Let’s leave it, we’re not saints.

If we can’t save it, we just can’t; besides, something about this voice seems off.

If we can’t do it, let’s look around the village and see if there are any survivors left."

Jhiang Yuan looked at Jingjing beside her; clearly, she wanted to see if Xiao Ling could be found.

The child was motherless, naturally pitiful.

The rest had no objections; the situation here had far exceeded what normal people could anticipate.

Rather than stay here listening to the eerie voices, it would be better to check somewhere else.

If they truly could save someone, it would be like gaining an extra companion.

Song Yi looked everywhere, ensuring there wasn’t a single person before they left.

That lake water looked clear, but there was always an indescribable eeriness to it.

As they made their way down to the village, they were stunned once more.

The entire village, including the broken walls and ruins, had vanished without a trace.

Everything had disappeared, leveled to the ground; it was utterly inconceivable.

Not a single trace left, let alone finding anyone.

"Did we come to the wrong place?"

"This is it, I saw these scattered items had surfaced yesterday.

They must have been pressed underneath, similar to the lakeside in nature."

"Oh my god, that’s terrifying. Does it mean everything got sucked into the ground?"

"It’s not exactly like that, natural disasters always bring unforeseen events."

Everyone went silent.

After a long while, Jhiang Yuan called Jingjing over.

"Bowing to your mother would be good..."

Jingjing remembered what had happened yesterday; she knew her mother was not coming back.

Just like her father had before, her mother also used to tell her.

If she was gone one day, she must be obedient, work hard, and survive well.

Also, if she was with Jhiang Yuan, she must take good care of Xiao Nuan.

She didn’t know why, but she had to listen to her mother because she had promised her.

"Mom~ Jingjing is leaving now, but I will definitely come back to see you~

Mom, Jingjing loves you~"

Jhiang Yuan found it hard to bear, watching the child weep tugged at her heart.

"Jingjing, get up now, mom will definitely hear you."

She went over, pulled the child up, and wiped away her tears.

"So, where are we headed next?"

Everyone looked towards Song Yi.

It wasn’t about where they should go, but where could they still go?

"Earlier, Second Master Teng mentioned there’s a cave on this nearby mountain; shall we go check it out?"

Jhiang Yuan remembered, indeed there was such a place.

And the mountain looked safe.

"Are you talking about the place where Sister Chun’s advanced team settled?"

"Yes, let’s go, check it out~"

"Alright!"

Now with a new goal, everyone cheered up and started moving forward.

Second Master Teng had said it was only about two kilometers away.

But after searching for a long time, they could not find it. What were they to do? It was such a hassle!

"Let’s rest for a bit, we’ll look again in a bit."

Song Yi said, pulling out quite a bit of food from his backpack.

Bread, sausages, beef jerky, sachima...

"Wow, so much, thank you Brother Song."

Zhang Kaiyang thought it was just taken from the cave earlier and didn’t think anything more of it.

"Song Yi, could it be that the cave is gone too?

The earthquake this time was really severe; it could flatten the entire village. If we can’t find it, let’s not search any further.

Let’s find a suitable place and settle down."

At this, he nodded.

Last night, there were no more earthquakes, which meant his guess was not off, the timing was indeed advanced.

Since that was the case, many things were likely out of place.

It was normal that they couldn’t locate the cave for the time being. Still, they needed to find a place to settle.

"Okay, later on, we still head towards the village."

The other side looked scarier, and it wasn’t certain either."

"Yes!"

Jhiang Yuan agreed there was no choice; the mountain here had no issues.

But the sparse trees and shifting sands were concerning.

The deeply embedded stones half-covered in snow had also disappeared.

All that was left was a shallow pit, which was naturally concerning.

"Let’s hurry up, we can’t waste time, or we’ll have no options when it gets dark."

Jhiang Xingzhi urged, and everyone quickly packed up.

At night, they didn’t even have a place to stay, truly frustrating!
