0204 All in ruins, despair and hope!
"Quicksand Waterfall" is one of the killer moves of the popular character I Airo in the anime "Naruto", which is extremely powerful, although it is now less than one-tenth of the power of the original book by Ji Zelei, but it is more than enough to destroy a wall.
And as Ji Zelei destroyed the entire wall, a spacious escape path also appeared in front of the survivors, which also increased the evacuation speed of the survivors in the prison several times.
Soon, most of the survivors in the prison escaped, and those who did not ...... Basically, there is not much chance of survival.
Bang!
And not long after Huang Sheng and the others escaped from the prison, there was a violent roar in the prison, and then I saw that the buildings in the prison seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible mouth, and they all fell downward, and continued to collapse, and finally turned into a ruin!
Sure enough, the subsidence still happened!
The only thing to be thankful for is that perhaps because of the gushing out of a large amount of groundwater, the explosives/charges buried in the ground and the ammunition stored in the prison, and even those missiles/bombs have not been detonated, otherwise Huang Sheng and the others will not be able to escape the scope of the violent explosion with the distance from the prison now.
After escaping from prison, Huang Sheng and the others took the survivors to flee to open and flat places as much as possible, so as not to be buried by the crumbling buildings along the way. But even so, casualties were inevitable...... And it's a lot of appearances!
The subsidence caused by the earthquake is almost everywhere, and there are suddenly cracks in the ground, or "sinkholes" formed by collapse, these cracks and sinkholes are not only bottomless, but also a large amount of mud is surging in them, once they fall into it, let alone ordinary people, even the supernatural may not be able to get out.
Fleeing all the way, survivors continue to fall into this crack and sinkhole, and then just scream, and even before they can scream, they are swallowed up by this sinkhole, and they can't even find their bodies!
What's even more terrifying is that the violent earthquake also formed a terrible mudslide, so that when Huang Sheng and others passed by a mountain, dozens of people were directly buried by the collapsed mountain, and died tragically on the spot!
In addition, the continuous falling trees in the jungle have also brought disaster to these survivors, and the survivors are constantly hit by the falling trees, and then they are either killed on the spot or crushed by death. And in this crazy escape, once they were pressed by the big tree, except for Huang Sheng and others, the others didn't even have the time and ability to rescue, so they could only take care of themselves first and flee frantically.
In the face of this terrible natural disaster, Huang Sheng once again realized the insignificance of manpower. What if his cultivation broke through to the middle level of foundation building, even if he drew a fire talisman and cultivated the sacrificial method and the Seven Emotions Illusion True Technique? In the face of such a terrible earthquake, he could hardly save anyone, and he may not even be able to protect himself!
And what is even more terrifying than the intensity of this earthquake is the duration of this earthquake!
The longest earthquake in history lasted in Mexico on September 19, 1985, when the magnitude 8.1 earthquake lasted for 4 minutes, destroying almost half of Mexico City and killing 35,000 people in the area!
But now the earthquake that broke out in Liancheng lasted for nearly ten minutes before it slowly stopped!
A ten-minute earthquake is almost enough to turn the entire Liancheng upside down and completely change!
Ten minutes later, the earthquake stopped, and Huang Shang and the others gradually eased up.
Huang Shang looked back, but saw that only a few hundred people were left behind him, and many more people were either scattered in the earthquake, or were swallowed by the cracks in the pits and ground, or were crushed and buried by big trees and mudslides, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Looking at the hundreds of people behind them who were embarrassed, pale and panicked, and then looked at it, it was like being bulldozed inside and out with a bulldozer, and there were hardly a few big trees that were still erected, and the ruins of the jungle that had completely changed, Huang Shang's face suddenly became even paler, and a thick despair rose in his heart!
Gone......
It's all gone!
The family business they had accumulated in their desperate work, their men, and the preparations they had made had become a joke in the face of this terrible natural disaster......
What is the danger, what is the basement, what is the makeshift shelter, and what is the ridiculous convoy......
It's all gone!
For a while, even Huang Shang's far beyond ordinary people's psychological quality was almost completely destroyed by this terrible natural disaster.
In his opinion, his previous efforts were almost completely meaningless......
In the face of this cruel end times, what is the use of his struggle?
"Brother!"
At this moment, Liu Xin staggered over and shouted with a hint of crying: "What should we do......"
"Brother Huang, what should we do!"
"Boss, you have an idea!"
……
Hearing Liu Xin's words, the other remaining survivors also quickly gathered around Huang Shang, their faces pale, but full of hope looking at Huang Shang, as if they were looking at the last straw.
“……”
Looking at everyone's eyes full of hope and trust, and even with a hint of pleading, the fragility and despair in Huang Shang's heart suddenly disappeared little by little.
These people still need him and trust him, how can he live up to the trust and hope of these people?
"Find a flat place to rest first, don't move, in case there are aftershocks."
Taking a deep breath, Huang Sheng forcibly calmed himself down, and then said with a solemn expression: "In addition, Liu Xin, I remember that you are equipped with a batch of signal flares, from now on, you will fire a signal flare every minute, and now the surrounding trees are almost all knocked down, and this signal flare should be able to be seen from a long distance...... In this way, the scattered brothers should gather towards us when they see it. ”
"Good!"
Hearing Huang Shang's words, Liu Xin nodded, and then immediately took down the signal gun on his waist and fired a shot directly at the sky.
Whoosh - bang!
The flare instantly lifted into the air, then exploded with a bang, turning into a blazing light, like a round of scorching sun in the night sky, illuminating the vicinity, and then slowly descending!
"The others took their weapons and formed a defensive formation...... This flare can attract more than just a brother who has run away! ”
As Liu Xin fired the signal flare, Huang Sheng also turned his head and shouted in a deep voice to the extremely embarrassed survivors around him.
"Yes, Boss!"
"Got it, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, Brother Huang!"
……
Hearing Huang Shang's words, all the survivors also responded one after another, and then they all picked up their weapons and began to be on guard.
"Little one, let your men search for the other survivors and bring them back!"
At the same time, Huang Sheng touched the head of the little guy in his arms and said.
"Wow!"
Hearing Huang Shang's words, the little guy nodded, and then opened his mouth to let out a scream.
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
With a scream from the little guy, there were also responses from the surrounding jungle that had been reduced to ruins, and then blood shadows also flew up in the dark jungle ruins at an extremely fast speed.
Compared to ordinary survivors, these babies were astonishingly fast, reflexive, and thick-skinned, and as light as a swallow, there were not many casualties, but these little guys did not play a role in the chaotic situation at that time. Now that the earthquake is over for the time being, these little guys with a keen sense of smell for the breath of the living have become the best search and rescue personnel.
In addition, the combat power of infant corpses far exceeds that of ordinary zombies, and it can also protect the safety of those survivors to a certain extent.
"Hoo ......"
After giving everything, Huang Sheng let out a long breath, and tiredness came like a tidal wave.
This tiredness does not come from the body, but from the heart.
The first natural change brought a torrential rain, which caused a drastic change in the whole world, a quarter of the human race was directly transformed into zombies, and more than half of the human race died in the catastrophe.
And this second change of heaven was a terrible earthquake that lasted for ten minutes!
You must know that even the Lotus City, which is heavily covered by vegetation and can greatly reduce the destructive power of the earthquake, has almost turned into ruins, and it is conceivable that if other places also suffer from the same major earthquake as this Lotus City, then the fate of these cities is even more miserable than that of Lotus City!
This almost left him with no hope!
After all, although the first heavenly change brought disaster, it also opened the door to evolution and awakening for human beings, but what did this second heavenly change bring to human beings in addition to disasters?
Hopeless?
"The host doesn't have to be so desperate, although this earthquake is destined to bring a devastating blow to mankind, it will also bring a new Jinhua road to mankind!"
However, at this moment, the voice of the system suddenly emerged from Huang Shang's mind, bringing a glimmer of hope to Huang Shang, who was almost in the abyss of despair.
