this day.

Shen Qing's family was blowing the air conditioner and sleeping in their respective rooms.

Suddenly, hearing a rumbling sound, Shen Qing instantly bounced up from the bed.

Earthquakes are frequent in the last days, and she is all too familiar with this voice.

"Mom and Dad! Zhi'an! Wake up soon, there's an earthquake. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the earth shook and dirt fell overhead.

Shen Qing was flustered.

She had never left S City in her previous life, and she didn't know anything about the sequence of disasters in other regions...... So I didn't expect a sudden earthquake.

The family walked out along the tunnel, shaking more and more.

Shen Qing experienced a magnitude 6 earthquake when he was young, and he has always had a shadow of the earthquake in his heart.

The magnitude of the earthquake today was much more violent than she remembered, and I am afraid it had reached a magnitude of seven or even higher.

Dirt kept falling above the underpass, and Shen Qing's heart rose to his throat.

When she was about to reach the exit of the underground passage, the top of the tunnel suddenly recessed, and the thick earth mixed with the floor on the first floor smashed down directly, forming a wall between her and her family.

At this time, the earthquake stopped.

Shen Qing choked on the ashes and coughed for a while, and shouted loudly while picking up the dirt: "Mom and Dad! How are you guys? Are there any injuries? ”

The other side of the tunnel.

The three members of the Shen family were blocked one meter away from the entrance of the tunnel, and there were falling rocks in front and back, and the three of them were crammed into a small and dark space.

Hearing Shen Qing's voice, he hurriedly replied: "We're fine, how are you, sister?" Are you okay? ”

"I'm fine...... You try to stay back as far back as you can, and I'll take this earthen wall into the space. ”

The three of them listened to Shen Qing's words and squeezed back.

Shen Qing concentrated his attention and instantly moved the earthen wall that separated them into the space.

Seeing that the three of them were safe, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and ran to them quickly.

"Let's find a way to get out! Aftershocks can happen at any time, and the underground is no longer safe. ”

Shen Qing said as he took the earthen wall behind him into the space.

Pushed open the tunnel door and climbed out.

Fortunately, the house was reinforced, and in the face of the earthquake, only the walls were a little cracked.

"I don't know if there will be a bigger earthquake, it's not safe to stay in the house now, let's go to an open place first."

After walking to the bright place, Shen Qing found that Tao Ying's upper was oozing blood.

She immediately supported Tao Ying and asked anxiously: "Mom, is your foot injured?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

As soon as Shen Qing shouted, the other two noticed Tao Ying's feet.

"Mom! How so...... It must have been smashed when the tunnel collapsed just now. ”

"Let's go to the courtyard and sit down."

Several people hurriedly helped Tao Ying out of the door.

Before he could stand firm, the ground shook again.

Shen Jie picked up Tao Ying horizontally and shouted loudly, "Zhi'an, open the door quickly." ”

Shen Zhi'an's hands trembled when he opened the door lock, and the shaking of the earth made his frightened legs weak.

Fortunately, the earthquake lasted for a short time, and several people managed to run to the open area outside the village.

"It's so hot......"

It was the time of the scorching sun, and the sweat on their foreheads was dripping like rain after they had escaped less than ten minutes ago.

Shen Qing looked around and found a low-lying place in the shade.

"Dad, get Mommy over there. Let's pitch a tent there first. ”

After making sure that there was no one around, she took out a tent from the space that was fairly insulated.

"Zhi'an, you come to help me."

"Okay." Shen Zhi'an wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, stretched out his tongue and followed behind Shen Qing.

Neither of them had any previous experience in pitching tents, and their speed was very slow.

Although it was on the shady side where the sun could not shine, the extremely high temperature still made several people dizzy.

Seeing Tao Ying's lips pale and her expression painful, Shen Qing was even more anxious.

She quickly took out four bottles of cold water from the space and asked everyone to rehydrate.

After about half an hour, the two finally set up their tents.

Shen Jie hurriedly transferred Tao Ying to the tent.

Although the whole of the tent is made of insulating materials, it does not do much in this extreme heat.

The temperature inside the tent was still forty, but there was a little less burning sensation.

Shen Qing didn't think much about it, and directly took out the generator and fan from the space.

Around the fan, she placed two boxes of ice.

After a while, the temperature inside the tent finally dropped to thirty.

Shen Zhi'an stood guard by the window, and once he found that someone was coming, he would immediately notify Shen Qing to collect things.

Shen Qing didn't care about worrying about these now.

She squatted in front of Tao Ying, holding scissors in her hand to cut the upper along the gap in the shoe.

The socks inside were dyed red, and it hurt just to look at them.

The weather is too hot, the wound has adhered to the wound, and there is no way to take it off directly, so it can only be cut with scissors.

Shen Qing's nose was a little sour, "Mom, bear with me...... I'm moving a little softer. ”

Tao Ying had a smile on her face and comforted: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." You can cut it without worry. ”

Shen Qing bit her lip and gently cut down the socks at her ankles, the closer she got to the wound, the more difficult it was to operate.

Although Tao Ying maintained a smile on her face, her brows were already twisted.

When it came to the wound, Shen Qing replaced the scissors with tweezers and lifted the socks little by little.

No matter how light the action was, the moment the socks were taken off, a piece of skin on Tao Ying's instep was torn off, and she couldn't help screaming in pain.

"It's okay, it's okay...... It only hurts briefly, and you're doing well. Tao Ying gently touched Shen Qing's head.

Shen Qing's nose was a little sour.

Tao Ying was smashed with an index finger-length wound on the instep of her foot, and her skin and flesh bloomed, which was shocking to watch.

Seeing that she couldn't do it, Shen Jie immediately took the medicine and bandages in her hands.

"Obediently, you go and prepare some food first, and I'll take the medicine."

Shen Qing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Let's do it with me...... I can do it. ”

She always thought that if she fled to the countryside in her first life, she would be able to take her parents to escape natural disasters......

She's too confident.

So today's earthquake was not expected at all......

Shen Qing blamed herself very much in her heart, if only she had been more cautious.

After bandaging the wound, Shen Qing took the pre-made dishes he had ordered in the restaurant from the space.

It can be eaten by simply heating it.

After lunch, Shen Qing suddenly thought of the Zhao family.

The earthquake is so big this time, I don't know what the situation is on Zhao Xi's side.

Shen Zhian was still guarding the small window.

"It seems that there is really no one in our village, I have been looking here all morning, and I have not seen a single figure."

Shen Qing asked casually, "Have you seen anyone from the Zhao family?" ”

Shen Zhian shook his head, "No, most of the houses in the village have collapsed, and their family must not be much better." ”

Shen Qing hesitated for a moment, but decided to go out and have a look.

If Zhao Xi died...... That's her life.

If she's lucky enough to be alive, I'll pull her by myself.

Before leaving, Shen Qing added another box of ice cubes.

"Zhi'an, if someone breaks in during my absence, if you can't fight the enemy, don't hit it hard, drag the other party first, and deal with it when I come back."

Shen Zhi'an nodded obediently, "I see that there is no one else in this village except us, sister, you don't have to worry." ”

As Shen Zhi'an guessed, the second floor of the Zhao family had collapsed, and only half of the first floor was left.

As soon as Shen Qing arrived, he saw Zhao Xi fainting on the ruins.

She quickly ran to Zhao Xi's side and touched her breath.

Alive.

Looking at her flushed face, she should have fainted from heat stroke.

Shen Qing hurriedly moved the person to the corner of the shady wall, took out the anti-heat medicine and poured it down.

She noticed that Zhao Xi's ten fingers were already bloody and blurred, presumably to find her relatives under the rubble......

While Zhao Xi was still unconscious, Shen Qing used the ability of space to open the ruins little by little, looking for traces of the Zhao family.

After a while, she noticed a hand pressed under the slate.

Shen Qing hurriedly removed the stone slab and quickly moved the person under the stone slab to the corner of the wall.

This is Zhao Xi's grandmother.

It's dead.

Shen Qing was in a complicated mood.

She didn't waste time and continued to clean up the rubble.

Soon, Zhao Fusheng also found it.

Unfortunately, Zhao Fusheng also died.

His head was smashed under the closet, and only half of it was left.

Shen Qing frowned, and looked at Zhao Xi with a little more sympathy.

Half an hour after drinking the anti-heat medicine, Zhao Xi finally opened his eyes in a daze.

"I'm still alive......"

"Hmm."

"You saved me. Thank you......" Zhao Xi struggled to sit up straight, trying to get up.

"My grandma and dad are still down there, and I'm going to save them." Zhao Xi walked a little stumbling.

Shen Qing frowned, grabbed her arm, and said in a low voice, "Don't go." ”

"No...... No, I'm going to get them out...... Find a safe place to hide, don't worry about me. Although Zhao Xi couldn't stand steadily, his eyes were very firm, "My family must still be waiting for me with hope." If I delay any longer, it will be too late......"

Shen Qing saw her own shadow in her, and her heart seemed to be pinched.

She bit her lip and said, "No need to go, they are here." ”

She grabbed Zhao Xi's shoulders and turned back, and the bodies of the two were laid down not far from her.

"When you find them...... They're gone. ”

Zhao Xi's pupils tightened, and the whole person froze.

Immediately afterward, the cry resounded through my heart.

She staggered to the corpse and lay in Zhao Fusheng's arms crying until she was about to die.

"Daddy...... Grandma ......"

"How can this be ......"

Zhao Xi almost fainted from crying.

"I know it's cruel to you, it's just that the deceased is gone...... Let them be buried in peace. Shen Qing squatted beside her and comforted her softly.

Zhao Xi couldn't cry, "Why...... How did the world become like this in just two months? ”

Shen Qing couldn't answer.

"Dad managed to convince Grandma...... We were going to leave tonight...... It was agreed, but now they have left me. ”

Shen Qing took her into her arms and gently smoothed her back, like her mother had comforted her since she was a child.

In the end, in the scorching heat, Zhao Xi could only face reality first.

Shen Qing helped her carry the bodies of Zhao Fusheng and Zhao Grandma to a cool place, and planned to come back at night to bury the two.
