248. In the face of nature, human beings are insignificant.

Human beings are small in the face of nature.

From Zhao Ji's discovery of the anomaly to Hei Zeming's clear realization of the earthquake, the world in front of them changed dramatically after more than ten seconds.

The building they were temporarily resting on was a 40-story high-rise building, which looked very inconspicuous in Suzaku City, where skyscrapers are gathered. Such high-rise buildings are designed with earthquake resistance in mind, which is also considered basic common sense, so when they feel the ground start to shake, they are not particularly panicked at first. And they are on the rooftop of the building, and many of the places mentioned in the common sense of shock absorption are not suitable for them, and the only option is to lie on the ground, as close to the stairwell as possible, away from the edge of the building.

After all, after experiencing so many lives and deaths, all the people still maintained enough composure, although the world was spinning in front of them in the blink of an eye, but no one shouted in panic.

However, the intensity of this earthquake is still beyond their imagination, even if they are lying on the ground, they feel that their whole body has been thrown up, although the height of being run up is very limited, but after a few contacts, everyone has a strong feeling of dizziness, and even a feeling of nausea and want to vomit.

Suddenly Laixi let out a scream, her body lying on the ground suddenly slid behind her, Li Hao turned around to pull her, but he also felt a downward trend, and then he clearly saw that there was a huge collapse on the floor of the roof of the building, Laixi was dragged by the tilt of the ground caused by the collapse, and now he was also dragged down with Laixi.

However, in a moment's time, Li Hao still reached out and grabbed Laixi's hand, even if they were buried in the collapse together, at least they were together.

Laixi's screaming also stopped abruptly, she grabbed Li Hao's hand, and even smiled at him. Lai Xi is not the kind of girl who is particularly beautiful, or people who see her at first sight, will think that this girl is as ordinary as a sister next door, but if you see more, you will feel that she has a lot of details that are very attractive, her eyes are not particularly big, but they are very clear, looking at it can make people quiet, her mouth is a little big, but when she laughs, it looks hot and vivid, and it can make people feel a lemon-flavored sunshine.

And at this moment, Li Hao only felt that there was a kind of brightness that overshadowed the stars. Then he had a palpitation for no reason, and just after he had smiled at him, he suddenly let go of his hand, and the whole person fell into the hole that had collapsed.

However, the palpitations gave Li Hao a wake-up call, he predicted Laixi's movements in advance, although Laixi spread his hand, but his whole body rubbed on the ground, slashed forward halfway, and firmly grasped Laixi's hand in the palm of his hand.

"Are you an idiot?" Lai Xi scolded Li Hao, half of her body had fallen into the hole, the ground was originally tilted, although Li Hao grabbed her hand, but not only could not pull her back, but fell down with her.

The reason why the floor of the top floor collapsed in the earthquake was obviously due to a problem with the building materials, and there was not much steel bars in the large falling floor slabs, and the thickness of the cement was very limited.

And just when Laixi was about to fall down, her body suddenly stopped, because Li Hao was holding her hand tightly, and behind Li Hao, Zhao Ji flew up and grabbed Li Hao's ankle, and behind Zhao Ji, Sang Quinoa hugged her leg. Hei Zeming, Long Qi and Wu Tian were not idle, Wu Tian grabbed Sang Quinoa's ankles, and Hei Zeming and Long Qi grabbed Wu Tian's two legs from both sides.

Several people were strung together like a human chain, and they stopped for a while.

But the shaking continued, and suddenly, there was a more violent vibration, and several people did not have time or extra strength to pull the people in front of them back, and the whole floor collapsed. All of them fell with it. Then the world plunged into darkness, and after feeling the body slam down on something, a cloud of dust poured into their mouths and noses, and in the near suffocation, they all had a feeling that they were buried.

The only fortunate thing was that they were on the rooftop of the top floor, and nothing was pressed down from their heads, especially not the kind of large building materials pressed on their bodies, so after about ten or ten seconds, when they all thought they were dying here, they found that their bodies were not completely immobile.

The first to stand up was Hei Zeming, he was the closest to the stairwell, at the end of the human chain, when the floor collapsed, he was the last to fall, in the darkness he didn't know when he had let go of the hand holding Wu Tian, at this time he used his hand to push the surrounding building materials away, and then bent his legs, and found that his feet were on the ground, so he drilled out the fragments of the building materials and squatted on the ground. At this time, the ground was still shaking, he squatted down, first covered the top of his head with his hands, and after more than ten seconds, the shaking seemed to have passed, and he stood up carefully.

Hei Zeming's eyes also adapted to the light around him, but the air he breathed was still full of dust, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and even difficult to breathe, and when he took a step, he found a piercing pain in his left calf, but he could still calmly analyze that this pain did not come from the bones, but something pierced into the calf, but since it did not affect his actions, he decided not to care about it for the time being.

Then I looked around and saw that it was supposed to be a tourist restaurant on the top floor, but the whole restaurant was now buried in a piece of building materials, and it looked like a dusty mess as far as the eye could see.

The aftershocks had not completely passed, and Hei Zeming found that the building was now a little tilted from a sense of inclination in his body, and if there was another strong earthquake that could throw them off the ground just now, the whole building might collapse. But at this time, it is obviously pointless to curse the builder's black heart, what he can do is to find a relatively safe place, and wait for the next time whether fate will give him a strong earthquake and the building will collapse, or it will subside and escape.

At this time, Hei Zeming saw another person standing up in a piece of dust, but he was not as careful as him, and he simply rose from the dust that buried almost his entire body.

With such a reckless action, there is only Li Hao.

Li Hao coughed violently after standing up, waving his hand and patting the dust on his body while coughing, and then suddenly remembered something, squatted down and pulled the building debris in front of him away, and dragged him out of it. In Laixi's coughing, he could at least make sure that Laixi was still alive, then looked back and pulled out Zhao Ji behind him.

"Don't move too much! Slowly move closer to me. Hei Zeming shouted and reminded: "The building is sloping, away from windows and exterior walls!" ”

Li Hao, Lai Xi and Zhao Ji all stood up, and then found Sang Quinoa, Long Qi and Wu Tian as well. Everyone suffered some injuries, especially from sharp objects and splinters, but fortunately they were only wounds, and they were all only external injuries. But then a familiar roar was heard, and several figures were buried in the dust and debris of the cafeteria, but they still struggled to crawl in the direction where there was a sound and the smell of blood.

However, Li Hao and the others didn't have the heart to pay attention to the zombies buried in the mess, at this time, the slope of the ground under their feet had reached a very terrifying level, and the things in the room were sliding down to the slope, and after these things were concentrated in one direction, it would inevitably cause the center of gravity of the building to tilt more seriously, and the final result was the collapse of the entire building.

They could only move as far as they could, and although everyone was full of fear, no one made a sound, as if they were worried that the sound would also accelerate the collapse of the building.

But with another wave of aftershocks, their worst fears were irreversible...... The ground was tilted to the point where it was impossible for a person to stand, and the entire building had visibly fallen in the direction of inclination. The only thing they can do is to grab what they can hold onto, such as the bar cabinet in the dining room, the railing fixed to the floor, etc., so that they will not be thrown out when the building collapses.

"Li Hao!" Lai Xi grabbed the column of the bar stool fixed on the floor almost face to face, she looked at Li Hao, thinking that they fled from Paradise Island to that nameless island, abandoned by Lao Wei, on that ghost ship, she was infected with the virus and almost mutated, and then they transcended the dimension to come to this time of separation and reunion, they went through many lives and deaths, escaped from the mouths of zombies again and again, and finally had to die in the aftermath of the earthquake, she wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry, just shouted at Li Hao: "I like you!" I think it's good to confess like this, but I like you! ”

Li Hao looked at Laixi, only felt a warmth in his heart, he lived to be 30 years old in this life, and before the age of 30, he was doing nothing, like a piece of waste paper full of words floating in the wind, no one paid attention to it, no one paid attention, if there was no initial disaster, he would continue to be like waste paper, occasionally falling to the ground, and then being blown to other places by the wind, or encountering a rain, and then being wet by the rain, sticking to the ground, waiting to be swept into the trash by the sanitation workers, or washed into the sewer by the rain.

Ordinary, humble, and unnoticed silently through life.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the disaster was a good thing or a bad thing for him, it can be said that the arrival of the disaster made him want to rot peacefully like a piece of waste paper without a chance, and it can also be said that the arrival of the disaster made him exude an unimaginable brilliance in the last days of his life.

Short-term splendor, stable mediocrity, what kind of life should people pursue?

But this is also a false proposition, because many times, people have no choice at all.

"Li Hao!" Just when Li Hao was warmed by Laixi's confession, but didn't know how to respond to her, he suddenly heard Zhao Ji shouting from his side: "I like you too!" ”

At this time, the whole building tilted to almost ninety degrees, all kinds of objects that had no roots fell one after another, and there was a loud cracking sound somewhere, and the whole world seemed to collapse.
