The earth shakes and the mountains shake, whether it is a supernatural or an ordinary person, they are all the same small in front of nature, like pebbles rolling down in the river of fate.

Xiao Lianyou was trying to maintain her balance, when she suddenly felt that it was dark in the sky, and she heard two men shouting in her ears: "Xiao You, get out of the way!" "Ah Xuan, be careful!"

A cyan air stream blew overhead, and the pressure suddenly shifted, and at the same time, a figure rushed in, carrying her backwards.

A boulder crashed to the ground, and dust flew in the sky.

For tens of seconds, the shaking of the earth slowly stopped.

The man got up from the ground and held out his hand to her.

Xiao Lianyu raised his head, in the smoke-filled, bleak world, his still gentle and tolerant eyes, and his straight posture made him the only light source in this world.

Cheng Haowen patiently stretched out his hand, neither moving nor speaking.

Xiao Lianyou hesitated and put her hand into his warm big hand, and was gently pulled by him and stood up.

Yu Yiran walked out from behind the boulder, took her other hand and asked nervously, "Ah Xuan, didn't you touch it?"

Xiao Lianyou knew that it was he who used his wind-based ability to support the boulder just now and changed his trajectory, so that Cheng Haowen saved himself.

Such an accident cleared her mind and thought to herself: I can't drag it out like this any longer.

Secretly sighing, she withdrew her hand from the two of them, turned her head and smiled at Yiran, and said, "I'm fine, thank you, Yiran." Did you come to me today to find something to do? I'll go to you when I'm done with things. ”

Yu Yiran shook his head: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll wait for you here." ”

"Well, that's fine. ”

Seeing the corners of Yu Yiran's raised mouth, Xiao Lianyou lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before turning her head to Cheng Haowen and saying, "Haowen." Let's talk about the aftermath when everything is taken care of...... Don't worry, I'll tell you everything you want to know. ”

Cheng Haowen's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curved upward. Xiao Lianyou didn't laugh. She took one last look at the messy city gate and the surviving people who stood up in a panic, lowered her eyes, and turned around and walked towards Zheng Xingchen not far away.

I secretly said to myself in my heart: Tiantian, my mother can't leave now. You wait, mom gets these things done. Will definitely go looking for you.

…… Dividing line ......

The conference room of the military headquarters was busy, and there were several men in military uniforms with solemn expressions sitting on both sides of the conference table, as well as the leaders of the five major mercenary groups.

Clerks and heavily armed warriors came and went from time to time, all with solemn expressions.

Cheng Haowen sat at the conference table and said to a platoon commander: "Send more soldiers, go to the slums first, use two meals a day as a reward, recruit people to rescue those who have been smashed and crushed, and each team will bring a wooden ability to facilitate treatment at any time." encountered someone who took advantage of the chaos to rob," Cheng Haowen showed anger in his eyes. "Grab it and send it to be a coolie. ”

The secretary came to Cheng Haowen with the report at this time: "Team Cheng, the magnitude of today's earthquake is 4.7, the time is 12 seconds, the depth is 7 kilometers, and it is 7-8 degrees. ”

Cheng Haowen asked the platoon commander to go down to arrange it first, and then took the report and glanced at it, and handed it to the others at the table.

One of the gray-haired, resolute old men threw the report aside and looked at Cheng Haowen irritably: "Xiao Cheng." Just say it directly, I heard that today's earthquake was only 4.7 magnitude, how could it be so destructive? Along the way, many bungalows collapsed. There are also big cracks in the ground in several places in the outer city!"

Cheng Haowen was in a heavy mood, but he still patiently explained: "This report shows that the epicenter is very close to us, and it is only 7 kilometers away from the surface. There is indeed a great danger that is about to erupt, and we must prepare for it in advance!"

Chen Yan suddenly laughed: "Team Cheng, you're too alarmist, aren't you? What is the huge danger? Could it be that just because of an earthquake and the departure of those animals, we have to run away obediently and give up the safe zone to those disgusting zombies?"

Chen Yan has not gone out since he was rescued, and today is the first time he appeared in public, and as soon as he came out, he blocked Cheng Haowen.

The leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Regiment was a tall and strong man like an iron tower, and he smiled and said: "Team Cheng, Captain Chen is not rough in his words, after all, it is just a small earthquake, there is no need to make such a fuss, and the meteor of the last days didn't do anything to us, didn't it......?"

Xiao Lianyou sat on the right side of Cheng Haowen, looking at the big man with a calm expression and laughing. Although several people from the military department did not speak, their eyes showed approval.

This reaction was expected by Cheng Haowen and Xiao Lianyou. Chinese people have a strong hometown complex, not as a last resort, who will leave their hometown?

Fortunately, I was well prepared.

She recalled that before entering the conference room, Yu Yiran handed her a stack of paintings, the first one on which made her eyes widen, listening to his explanation in her ears, her hands flipped quickly, each painting surprised her, and to the last painting, her hands trembled uncontrollably.

In his ears was Yu Yiran's explanation: "These two paintings are the scenes that the demon dreamed of last night. Her recent hunches have become more and more effective, and she has avoided many dangers, and although the content of the painting is not very clear, Four Eyes still asked me to send it to you. Ah Xuan, there is danger here, let's leave together. ”

Xiao Lian thought of this, stopped recalling, and continued to look at Cheng Haowen.

He ignored the provocation of Chen Yan and the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Regiment, and just calmly took out a stack of paintings and handed them to the people below.

Those people passed it on one by one, but they didn't understand why Cheng Haowen showed them these things that were like comics although they were very well drawn.

Cheng Haowen waited for everyone to finish reading before saying: "I believe everyone here knows Deputy Secretary Hao, why did he leave, you should be very curious, right?"

Chen Yan suddenly said loudly and impatiently: "Team Cheng, why are you holding a cartoon that fools children and saying some nonsense? If you are fine, we still have a lot of things, so I won't accompany you to play at home." ”

Xiao Lianyou, who had been paying attention to him, did not miss the panic that flashed in his eyes.

Although the reaction of other people was not as big as Chen Yan's, they also showed disapproval.

Cheng Haowen smiled indifferently and said to Chen Yan: "What are you panicking about? I haven't finished talking yet! His departure is related to our life and death, don't you all care? Why don't you let me say it? Or do you know something?"

Chen Yan smiled and said, "What do I know? Let you say, I'll see what you can say." ”

Cheng Haowen no longer paid attention to him, and his face turned solemn, "Everyone knows that Deputy Secretary Hao has a clairvoyant and a prophet under him. If he hadn't gotten some definite information, why would he abandon this impregnable safe zone?"

He paused for a moment, and saw that everyone's faces had changed, and they were sitting upright. I started talking again.

"Now that everyone understands the Prophet, the next thing to say is about her. You see......"

He lined up two pictures in front of the projector, and used a diesel generator to drive the projector to expand the image to the wall of the conference room.

He pointed to a symbol that looked like a phoenix and a bird on the building in the first picture and said, "I believe everyone knows this sign, right?"

The people below were confused. The white-haired old soldier directly asked everyone's thoughts: "Xiao Cheng, don't sell Guanzi, isn't this a sign on the villa in the city in such a safe zone? Tell me quickly, what does these two paintings have to do with today's meeting?"

Cheng Haowen saw that everyone's interest was aroused, so he said the reason in one breath: "The Hurricane Mercenary Group has been looking for Xiao You, and it was through these two pictures that they determined that Xiao You was in the safe zone and found her. The next few dangers were foreseen by the prophet and defused. You see, this is a diagram that the prophet drew yesterday. ”

He took out the last two paintings and put them on the projector, and the paintings on them were clearly projected on the wall.

These two paintings are painted very realistically. Everyone was drawn to it.

The first shows several bugs scurrying around in a city-like setting, one of them standing upright, and a building next to it turned out to be about the same height.

The second image shows the bugs spewing out red magma-like red material, and the entire city is on fire.

The crowd was stunned by the scene of the two paintings, and one of the officers pointed to the upright insect and exclaimed, "What is this? Look at the building next to it?

Everyone looked closely, only to find that this building is very similar to the watchtower of the safe zone, the tower is 50 meters high, and the bug is about the same size as it, how big is that?

Cheng Haowen had a calm face and pointed to a burning building in the second painting. On the half-remaining building, there is also a symbol of Luanniao.

Everyone was shocked by the scenes represented by these two pictures, only Chen Yan's eyes flashed, and he laughed: "Team Cheng." Who are you fooling with all this alarmist talking? Just these paintings want us to believe that the safe zone is going to be like that? It's too child's play, isn't it?" he said mockingly, pointing at the projection wall casually.

Others will turn their suspicious gaze to him.

Cheng Haowen saw the secretary's gesture and nodded to him.

The secretary opened the door, and Zhou Zhi, dressed in a military uniform and holding a stack of documents, came out of the door.

Zhou Zhi handed the documents in his hand to the secretary, and the secretary sent them to everyone present one by one.

Xiao Lianyou took the document and looked at it. This is an image composed of irregular concentric circles of various colors, and I heard Cheng Haowen say: "This is the underground situation that Dr. Zhou of the research institute has just opened the electromagnetic wave measurement conference to detect, and now he will explain it." ”

Zhou Zhi walked to the center of the conference room and said with a heavy face: "Let me tell you about the meaning of this picture." Look, ......," he said, pointing to the red part in the center of the concentric circles: "Here are the 7 kilometers of underground rock formations under our feet, red represents high temperatures, cyan and gray represent rock formations, you look at the red middle. ”

He pointed to the three reddish dots in the center of the concentric circles and said, "Here, the instruments show an unusually high temperature, and the state is extremely unstable, if these things break through the surface, the entire safe zone will be melted by the high temperature." “

As soon as his words fell, the entire conference room fell silent. How much Zhou Zhi's research institute has achieved in the last days is obvious to everyone, and no one dares to turn a deaf ear to his words.

Immediately, a trembling voice sounded: "How long is there left?"

Zhou Zhi shook his head: "Not sure." But if an earthquake like this happens again, the surface rock layer here will break, the magma will erupt, and even if the insects don't appear, we will be a scorched earth here. “

There was silence again, and everyone was digesting the astonishing news.

After a while, the white-haired soldier stood up again, and said with deep sorrow and reluctance: "People move to live, trees move to death, since we can't stay here anymore, let's leave." “

"God's won't let us live well, let's just live well! Team Cheng, you say, what should we do?" said the leader of the Wolf Mercenary Regiment.

"Yes, let's get out of what? How to go? Cheng team, we all cooperate. The other mercenary groups spoke out one after another.

Cheng Haowen had been planning for this day for a long time, took out the map, and discussed the retreat route and specific material deployment with the people present.

Xiao Lianyou looked at all this with relief, got up and explained to the secretary, and left the conference room.
