Chapter 887: Great Earthquake
After the carriage stopped, Lin Ruan took two guards to drive the carriage forward for a further distance, and after getting away from the convoy, Lin Ruan summoned the golden eagle and flew into the sky with her.
The night in the first month of the year was bitterly cold.
Lin Ruan didn't care much, so he asked the golden eagle to fly as low as possible, and then activated his ability to make all the birds bigger, and then flew towards the villages and towns where everyone gathered with a stone in his mouth.
The dense birds spit out the stones in their mouths, and the overwhelming rain of stones smashed on the roofs of those houses, making a crackling sound, which was extremely harsh in the meeting.
Soon, the lights came on in the night.
Hundreds of people were awakened by the sound and went out to check on the situation.
At this moment, a shrill cry came from the sky, and then a calm and powerful voice sounded, "The earth dragon turns over, quickly get out of the house and dodge." ”
At this moment, the sky is dark, and no one can see the golden eagle that dissolves into the night, let alone Lin Ruan on the back of the golden eagle.
Lin Ruan held a horn made of wood, sat on the back of a golden eagle, and repeated that sentence in various towns, startling countless people.
Everyone looked at the sky hesitantly, they didn't know if this was true, but tonight's events were too strange, and the livestock rats and ants in the house also moved, and the experienced old man knew that this was definitely a sign of a catastrophe.
So everyone took action and hurried to drag out the life-saving things in the house first, so as not to bury them all underground. Then everyone ran outside the house, waiting in panic.
Wanning Mansion is very large, and Lin Ruan has used his abilities to the extreme, allowing those birds to use the method of smashing stones to wake up the people who are still sleeping before they can't get over in time.
When she had just informed most of the letter to Wanning Mansion, disaster came.
The earth began to tremble, making a rumbling sound.
Immediately afterward, the screams of the people also rang out.
Lin Ruan sat on the back of the golden eagle and watched the shaking of the ground become stronger and stronger, the houses were twisted and collapsed in the violent vibration, and the lights were extinguished one after another, but soon, there were fires rising into the sky.
It was a candle flame that had been knocked over, and it had set the wood of the house on fire.
Frightened screams rang out everywhere, and many people fled desperately, and there was chaos everywhere.
The earthquake lasted for a few minutes before finally calming down.
Despite the warnings, the people wept bitterly when their homes were razed to the ground in front of them. There are also those who do not listen to advice and are crushed under the house.
Especially in those places where Lin Ruan did not have time to notify in place, as well as the surrounding places that were affected by the earthquake, it is inevitable that there will be casualties.
But in a large earthquake of this magnitude, the number of such deaths and injuries is already incredibly small.
Moreover, the ancient buildings are not high, and most of them are structural, so the casualties are minimized, and the rescue work will not be too difficult.
Lin Ruan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the grain transport team on the golden eagle.
The grain transport team was also frightened by the earthquake, especially the horses pulling the grain carts, who were so frightened that they almost had an accident.
Lin Ruan released a strange ability to calm down the horses, and just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the first wave of aftershocks began.
Fortunately, with Lin Ruan here, the horses in the team did not panic anymore.
After a night of anxious waiting, the sky finally dawned.
It was only then that they finally saw the aftermath of last night's earthquake.
There were many terrible cuts in the ground, and at the widest point, it could even fall into a carriage.
The cracks are deep and shallow, and just looking at them makes people feel chilled.
Lin Ruan was worried about the situation in other state capitals, so he let the convoy stay where it was. After all, the aftershocks are dense and strong now, and it is dangerous to rush again, so we can only wait for the back to stabilize before setting off.
As for herself, she planned to take advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dawn and sat on the golden eagle to check several neighboring prefectures.
This earthquake, according to Lin Ruan's speculation, was at least above level seven, so the affected places were definitely not only Wanning Mansion.
Seeing that she was in a hurry, Fei Fu grabbed her and said, "Princess, take a rest before you go." ”
She was really worried that she would have problems if she kept running around like this and kept using her abilities. Last time, it was also because of overwork and output that Lin Ruan fell.
Lin Ruan knew what she was worried about, and smiled at her, "Don't worry, my current ability is no longer comparable to what it used to be." ”
She knew in her own heart that she wouldn't be like that again.
There aren't many crystal nuclei.
And her ability is indeed much stronger than before, if she really wants to estimate, she feels that she has been upgraded by at least two levels.
Fei Xi looked at Lin Ruan carefully at the lights in the carriage, and saw that her expression was as usual, so she was barely relieved. "Then princess, you must pay more attention to safety, if you feel tired, stop and rest, there are subordinates here, and no one will be suspicious."
Lin Ruan nodded, "You also have to pay more attention to safety, the power of aftershocks should not be underestimated, remember, no matter what happens, human life is the most important, and other things can be discarded." ”
Fei Xi took note carefully, and then covered Lin Ruan to leave the team again.
Lin Ruan rushed to the neighbor's state capital in a golden eagle.
After half an hour of flying, Lin Nguyen arrived at Sai Bong Mansion, which was closest to Wanning Mansion.
As she expected, the closer she was to Manning, the more affected the earthquake became.
Many houses collapsed and many people were injured, and the situation was even more serious than in Wanning Mansion.
The other two state capitals are in a similar situation.
Lin Ruan immediately made a decision, and immediately used the method of flying pigeons to send a message to inform the second batch of grain transportation teams to hurry up and set off and rush to these three prefectures.
A secret letter was sent to the nearby army, asking them to send people to help the affected people.
After doing this, Lin Ruan did not rush back, but waited in place, waiting for the pigeons sent out to come back to resume their lives, and after the confirmation letters were delivered to the hands of various targets, he returned to the grain transportation team before dawn.
All the way, a strong aftershock struck, shaking Lin Ruan almost unable to stand.
Fei Fu and Luo Ying appeared like ghosts, helped Lin Ruan up, and brought him back to the carriage.
For two days, the team could not move forward.
On the third day, the aftershocks finally weakened, and Lin Ruan immediately ordered to set off and head towards Wanning Mansion City.
Along the way, there were collapsed houses everywhere and many injured people. Because they were awakened in the middle of the night, many people didn't have time to put on their clothes, and later they wanted to pick up their clothes, but they were afraid of the power of the aftershocks, so they had to find something to wrap around their bodies and shiver in the cold wind.
Some of them were lucky, packed up some clothes and bedding in time, and made do with each other with their neighbors.
It's just that in the face of the shattered homeland, everyone doesn't know what to do, and some families have been killed or injured, and the atmosphere is even more miserable, and everyone in the family is crying bitterly.
Some young people have organized themselves to search and rescue people who have been crushed.
