Chapter 53: The Fall

The Luna-1 Observatory was built on a higher hill, originally to have an open view, and the lunar soil here is also very soft and suitable for excavation, but in Qin Yi's opinion, its location is simply terrible, directly in front of the observatory is a towering cliff, because of the earthquake, the bottom has been full of dangerous rubble, even if there is a flying machine, it is not a suitable escape direction, and the other side is blocked by a chaotic crowd, not only the staff of the observatory, but also the residents living nearby, knowing that there was a big earthquake, everyone was evacuated.

Qin Yi's order to open the way had no effect, he could already clearly feel the ground shaking, because of the low gravity, the debris lifted by the earthquake was floating in chaos in front of him, which increased the tension and the difficulty of escaping.

This tremor is very strange, it is very different from the earthquake that occurs on the earth because of the movement of the earth's crust, the longitudinal wave lasts for a long time, but there is no stronger transverse wave to come, and the strong tremor seems to remain at the same amplitude, but for a long time, it has not stopped.

The guards bombarded all the way with heavy demolition artillery, blowing up the walls and debris blocking the front, several people used explosion-proof shields to protect Qin Yi, through the shortest path, Qin Yi's armored car turned on the auxiliary flight system, crossed a team blocking in front, and directly escaped from the dangerous area of the collapse of the building, but this was only temporarily safe, Qin Yi did not breathe a sigh of relief, and found that the extent of this disaster was far beyond his imagination.

In the distance is a white moon plain, where there is no new moon city, because the terrain is not suitable for the construction of the city, the surrounding resources are not abundant, there are only a few small bases nearby, all for scientific research and environmental investigation, from a high place to look down is a huge white paper on a few black dots, this white paper is shaking violently, and in the huge amplitude of the black line continues to emerge like ink marks.

Qin Yi found that he was not mistaken, those black lines were indeed rifts, cracks that were very clear from this height, they were large rift valleys with a diameter of more than ten meters, they were like pitch-black twisted giant snakes, rampage across the surface of the moon, sometimes intertwined.

The Lunar No. 1 Observatory behind him had collapsed, the huge tower at the top smashed down, the iconic huge ring broke into several pieces, and the people below who didn't have time to escape were crushed by the falling giant rocks, this scene looked very strange, the speed of the rocks falling was very slow, like styrofoam without much weight, but it did have a huge weight, because of the damage to the building, the crowd gathered over there became more chaotic, although it couldn't be heard, but Qin Yi could think that there must be screaming over there, It's like hell on earth.

Qin Yi escaped in time, if he was a few seconds late, he might have been trapped in that ruin.

"Is there a safe path?" Qin Yi looked at the shattered plain in front of him and couldn't help but worry, "Are there any unaffected strongholds recently?" ”

"Communication is cut off, and we're still in touch." The guards in the driver's seat had a sense of powerlessness in their tones, and it seemed that they were also very desperate in the face of such a catastrophe.

"Damn......" Qin Yi covered the disc hidden in the pocket of his windbreaker, he finally got it, and something happened at this juncture, if he encountered an accident now, everything would be in vain!

"We can only drive towards the nearest base, and the fuel for this car will not last long."

"Then what are you doing in a daze?" Qin Yi vented his emotions indiscriminately at the others.

The car is driving quickly in the northwest direction, this kind of multi-purpose vehicle is not suitable for flying, the flight state is to fold the wheels up, use a small ion jet as propulsion power, the flight speed is not fast, and it is not the main way to move, just a temporary plan to deal with some special terrain, like this with a full car of people flying, it is estimated that it is enough to support an hour.

Compared with Qin Yi, Mark and their situation is much better at this time, they happen to stay in a relatively solid area, although they can also feel a strong vibration, but there is no large-scale cracking on the ground, because they have encountered this situation in the mine before, Mark can also deal with the current changes very well.

Nina speculated that the tremors had something to do with the special structure of the moon, and that they had seen huge gullies like dry ditches beneath the moon's surface before, not by chance, but by widespread distribution of such structures beneath the moon's underneath.

"Haven't we seen that strange relic of a lost civilization before...... If the moon hollow theory is true, it is likely that the moon has been hollowed out by them, and it may be that some large facility has been built underneath......" Nina analyzed seriously, they are now hiding under a stable mountain structure, although this side is relatively stable, but rockfalls still happen from time to time, fortunately Nina is a master in this area, she can guess the safest area nearby at a glance, and immediately let them all hide here.

"So, the sudden disappearance of the earth, the consequences are very serious, if the moon is a solid sphere, it is fine, the core of the earth will find a new balance after the drastic changes, but the problem is that the moon does not even have a core, it is likely to collapse directly......" Even Mark, who had the worst education among several people, realized the problem.

"That's right...... I can only hope that the structure of the facilities built by the lost civilization is good enough, if the internal links are tight, there will not be a situation where the entire planet will crack, but it will be bad for us humans, no matter what, the new city of the moon will definitely suffer a new round of destruction, the previous asteroid crisis has not been long ago, and now there is another big earthquake. Sun Tan worried.

"What do you see over there?" Nina saw a small dot in the sky.

"A multi-purpose lunar rover...... "Mark squinted one eye and rested his face on a small telescope on his wrist guard.

"Is it the residents who are evacuating? Why is there only one? ”

"No, there aren't any big gatherings around here." Mark wanted to magnify the magnification of the telescope, but he couldn't see it clearly.

Just when they were curious about each other's identities, the multi-purpose lunar rover suddenly began to fall, as if it had been attacked by something, the blue plasma trail behind the car suddenly disappeared, and the car stumbled into a canyon in front of it.
