However, life is full of ups and downs...... and unsatisfactory things in the world are also eleven or two out of ten.

Just after Wang Hao finally found the ship and swore to everyone with the scimitar in his hand that the ship had changed its surname to Wang.

Suddenly the earth trembled, followed by a tight shake.

"Oops, it's an earthquake!"

Wang Hao once pondered the sources of this sense of crisis—David Jones, Tiadom, the East India Company, Salazar......

I just didn't expect that the crisis would come from the wrath of nature!

Wang Hao quickly made a judgment, and then he jumped off the boat decisively, and at the same time did not forget to turn back and shout to the sailors on the ship: "Earthquake! Everyone abandoned the ship and found a place to hide! ”

In the real world, scientists have estimated that in an earthquake of more than a certain magnitude, it only takes 12 seconds from the time people can feel the shaking to the destruction of buildings, which is not enough time for people to make any big moves.

To sum up: small earthquakes don't need to run, big earthquakes can't run.

Therefore, the correct way to deal with it is to take shelter in the event of an earthquake and evacuate quickly after an earthquake.

Of course, that is just the best way for ordinary people to do it as a last resort, and Wang Hao certainly did not find a place to hide as he said.

Because he clearly knows that in such an island city environment, an earthquake will inevitably be followed by a tsunami.

Even if you can escape the earthquake by hiding in the harbor, the ensuing tsunami will take everyone's lives.

Therefore, he could only run to the open area on the mountain, and the others were not as good as Wang Hao, so they couldn't run this way at all, so it was better to hide on the spot, hoping to escape.

Just as Wang Hao jumped off the boat and ran wildly on the dock, huge cracks began to appear in the ground, and buildings collapsed one after another.

Like the end of the world, the land is undulating like a wave, and hundreds of cracks appear in the ground at the same time, opening and closing.

The sea was like a boiling pot, and the raging waves shattered all the ships in the harbor.

People dressed in gold and silver ran frantically under the pressure of collapsed houses, cracked ground, and poured water, trying to find a place to take refuge.

Running through the relatively empty port and entering the city, Wang Hao found that the strong tremors had shattered all the buildings on the ground.

Port Royal is the most densely populated city in the New World, with about 200 buildings standing on 0.2 square kilometers of land. Most of the buildings are built of brick, and some of them are as tall as 4 stories.

When an earthquake struck, these crowded buildings were immediately shattered. As far as the eye can see, there are ruins everywhere, and the whole city is shaking along with the earth.

Waste beams, broken walls, and all kinds of wood and stone fragments flew all over the sky, and the whole city had no place to stand.

Just by standing outside and looking at it, you can know that there is no place to dodge inside, let alone run all the way through.

In desperation, Wang Hao had no choice but to lift his spirit, jump onto the roof, carry light skills, and step on the house that was about to turn into ruins.

"Treading the Waves", this light skill is not the fastest foot power, it aims to borrow strength. As long as you have any foothold, you can borrow your strength to start again, let alone treading water. When you practice to a high level, you can even get up in the air.

However, at this time, Wang Hao, who was burdened with light skills, was not easy.

The earth was cracking, and the entire crust was shaking, moving the house as if it had grown legs.

The ground cracked in countless huge cracks, devouring everything that stood on it, whether it was people or buildings.

In this apocalyptic scene, driving light power to float in the air seems to be safe and windy, but it is a real tightrope walk, one wrong step, you will immediately fall into the crack in the ground, and you don't even have time to react.

But fortunately, Wang Hao is not just a martial artist, he is also an anomaly.

In many seemingly desperate places, Wang Hao used his abilities to forcibly change the movement trajectory or placement of bricks, tiles, beams and other objects for the foothold he needed to borrow his light power, so as to avoid being swallowed by the cracks in the ground.

Tired!

Tired!

Not only physical exhaustion, but also mental exhaustion, and a sense of weakness caused by excessive use of internal forces.

It was more tiring than a terrible broadside battle after several days and nights of sleepless pursuit.

What seemed like a short road in the past feels so long today.

Wang Hao, who was exhausted, finally ran to an open area on the mountain with his body after relying on his strength countless times, or simply relying on luck to save the day.

Of course, running here with all your might can only ensure that you are less likely to encounter misfortune, but you still can't guarantee your absolute safety.

Lying on the ground panting heavily, Wang Hao could still feel the earth shaking violently, but the earth did not fall like the coastal city, so he didn't have to worry about being swallowed by the earth at any time. In a relatively empty environment, he naturally won't worry about any fragments of unknown objects hitting him.

The rest can only be left to the arrangement of fate.

Of course, in this apocalyptic scene, Wang Hao is not the only one who is still rational and has excellent luck.

Here, there is already a group of residents who have run to take refuge.

The poor, the richly dressed, the fierce, the rebellious, the panicked craftsman......

But no matter how big the difference in identity was before, at this moment, they all have nothing.

"And Lot said unto them, So, my lord, do not;

Your servant has found favor in your sight. And thou hast shown me great mercy and saved my soul. I cannot flee to the mountains, lest this evil come upon me, and I die.

Behold, this city is small and near, and easy to flee to, is it not a small one. Let me flee there, and my soul may live.

And the angel said unto him, I will answer thee in these things. I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.

Flee quickly to the city. Because you haven't gotten there yet, there's nothing I can do. Therefore the name of the city was Zoar.

Law got Zoar, and the sun was out.

At that time the LORD sent fire and brimstone from the LORD in heaven to Sodom and Gomorrah.

and destroyed the cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of them, and all that grew up on the earth. ”

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in the crowd recited a passage from the Bible, and immediately he fell to his knees, clasped his hands to his chest, and prayed aloud.

Under the leadership of the man, everyone present began to kneel on the ground one by one, praying in good shape.

The violent shaking lasted for several hours, and the people who had taken refuge on the mountain fell on their knees and prayed to God for several hours.

At noon, after one of the most violent tremors, more than two-thirds of the whole of Port Royal sank under the sea, and everything that remained on the land was swept away by the ensuing tsunami.

Port Royal has since disappeared into the sea, and the sunken city is 20 to 35 feet below sea level.

On calm days, people can still clearly see the traces of the underwater city, and some shipwrecks and houses are still faintly recognizable.

For this reason, many explorers, pirates, and speculators came here with a desire for the treasures buried in the ruins of Port Royal, but all of them were in vain.

Later, due to the layers of sediment and garbage, Port Royal was lost in people's memory.

Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

And now, when people finally confirmed that the disaster was far away from them, they trembled and put away their 'pious' hearts and began to focus on the place where they once lived.

When they finally confirmed that the barren scene in front of them was Port Royal, which had previously been the most prosperous in the New World, they couldn't help but calm the horror in their hearts and sigh:

"How can God do this to them, may the Lord have mercy."
