Chapter 58: Cornered

"Wait until the magnitude gets smaller." She wasn't sure how long it would take to leave, but she certainly couldn't stay at the base.

Yao Chengwei nodded.

He looked around at the shaky building, and then at the long crack: "I feel like I'm shaking when I sit now." ”

"Me too." Sun Rui leaned on Zhao Peng, looking for a sense of security: "I hope the magnitude of the aftershock is smaller." ”

Everyone thinks so.

But in fact, the first wave of aftershocks gave them the same feeling as the main shock, and it also shook people dizzy.

"Look around!" Wen Qizhou, who was worried about the appearance of a second crack, stared at the ground with a pair of Ruifeng eyes.

They did not dare to take it lightly, and stood back to back, always ready to flee elsewhere.

There was another "boom", and a small crooked western-style building suddenly collapsed, intensifying the shaking of the ground, and carrying dust with it, as if it was about to overturn all the people in the safe area.

The small cracks caused by the main shock earlier, after a wave of aftershocks, silently extended nearby, across the frozen fish pond, like a pair of invisible hands grabbing the people not far from it, roaring and engulfing them.

"Ahh Screams rang out.

The four were dragged into the crack, and three of them let out a cry and did not move, except for the young man who reacted quickly, with his hands on the edge of the crack and struggled to climb up.

He was helpless to call for help, but the people who came and went were chased by the cracks, and no one dared to stop, and no one could help him.

There are many similar situations.

Especially the elderly and infirm, they are more difficult to escape the "pursuit" of the cracks, and if they are not careful, they will be swallowed.

"Help......

The same sound of fear sounded from different mouths, deafening into everyone's ears.

Chi Yue, they chose to ignore it.

Because, the rift was coming towards their location, and they were going to flee in the opposite direction like everyone else.

She looked firmly at the next clearing, trying to hold steady with each step to avoid falling again.

Fortunately, the aftershocks did not last long.

While they were still running that way, the earth and the buildings no longer swayed, and the cracks that were as intimidating as the abyss no longer stretched forward as they pleased.

But the atmosphere around him became more and more oppressive.

"Thief God, you're trying to drive us to a dead end!" The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged looked up at the sky, patted his legs and scolded angrily, and laughed inexplicably.

His laughter was so full of sarcasm and despair that it was harsher than the sobs of others, some of whom were provoked to scream madly, while others ran to the gap and jumped down.

"Crazy, they're crazy......" The old man standing next to Yao Chengwei danced to the group of people.

The expression on his face was very distorted, and Yao Chengwei silently distanced himself from him, so as not to have uncontrollable changes.

Fortunately, people's emotions calmed down after the arrival of the armed soldiers, no more dementia people jumped into the cracks, and the voices that could provoke the emotions of others disappeared.

Only sobbing lingered until nightfall.

"Let's pitch a tent tonight and take turns resting." Xie Changxiao believes that when you are outside, you must keep vigil.

"Okay." No one has an opinion.

While they were pitching their tents, others also went home, and those with tents came out with their tents, while those without tents took quilts and sleeping bags to keep out the cold, or built simple sheds.

Sun Rui couldn't help but feel surprised: "I thought someone would come to look for us just now." ”
