Chapter 175: escape

Views:

I don't know how long I ran while holding the person in my hand. When Shu Huan was about to look back, he suddenly remembered the story in the Old Testament of the Bible that God wanted to destroy the evil cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The hidden fear of turning his wife into a pillar of salt, because the scene of hell on earth in front of him is no different from the angel destroying the city.

Yet she could not leave her maid

Shu Huan still turned her head, and saw that it was Liang Chen who was being dragged away by herself. The beauty and pleasure had disappeared in the crowd, and there was darkness everywhere. Where there was no darkness, there was thick smoke, which restricted her. As far as the eye can see.

Her heart skipped a beat, her shock stopped for a while, while panting violently, she asked Liang Chen in a hoarse voice: "Where are the two of them?"

No matter how calm Liang Chen was usually, he was completely panicked at this meeting, and his panting frequency was not lower than that of Shu Huan. When he was asked, he suddenly remembered that there were two other people, and when he looked back, he was also at a loss.

"I don't know..." Liang Chen coughed violently as soon as he opened his mouth.

Taking the opportunity, Shu Huan took out the water bag from the escape bag. Even though she was extremely thirsty, she didn't dare to drink more, so she only took two sips and handed it to Liangchen.

With a sip of cold water in her throat, she was uplifted, and her emotions calmed down a little. She only said one word: "Look"

It's just that the city dwellers, who were shocked by the sudden shock and lost their souls, have already ran out to find a safe place. There are people everywhere, even if they are not crowded, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of finding people.

"Beautiful scenery—" Shu Huan stepped on the pile of rubble and tried to yell loudly, but the surroundings were too noisy, and the sound could not be heard far away, not to mention that her throat was also injured due to dryness, and her yelling voice was muffled and hoarse.

Liang Chen helped and shouted: "Xinxin—"

No one answered, only waves of shouts from a distance could be heard. Besides them, there were many people who had run away from their relatives and were calling for them.

Before he could yell twice, Shu Huan coughed again, had to stop, and took two sips of water to press it down.

At this time, Liangchen screamed suddenly, and took many steps back in a panic, Shu Huan hurriedly looked towards her, and saw a bloody hand stretched out from a pile of collapsed bricks and stones in front of him.

"Damn it..." Shu Huan couldn't help cursing God. He stuffed the water bag back into the escape bag, and went forward to dig people in the pile of bricks and stones. The bricks and stones were shaken and kept collapsing, and instantly buried the man tightly.

It can't be saved, at least she is powerless at the moment

Shu Huan gritted his teeth and stepped back a few meters, avoiding the falling bricks, stones and broken logs, and waited until the vibration gradually stopped—

"Let's go" She didn't want to look at the miserable scene in front of her again, so she turned her head and ran.

Earthquakes are still happening, and sometimes they are still very strong. Even though there were no tall buildings, large billboards and telephone poles lining the streets in ancient times, it can be said that if you escape from the house during an earthquake, you can save half your life, but she intuitively I think it's very unsafe here.

Liang Chen followed up staggeringly: "What about the pleasant and beautiful scenery?"

"I'll look for it when the situation is not so chaotic." Shu Huan couldn't help but blame himself: "It's my fault too, I didn't explain what to do if I escaped."

She prepared an escape bag and imagined what might happen, but subconsciously, she didn't think it would really happen. She just prepared and did something to make herself feel at ease, but she didn't expect the situation to become worse than imagined

Liang Chen turned back and looked around, but still didn't see the pleasant and beautiful scenery, so he hurriedly followed two steps and asked, "Where are we going?"

Shu Huan's footsteps paused, yes, she was completely dizzy

It's useless to run around aimlessly, and I forgot to ask Liang Chen if there is any open space near here.

"Where is the place that is more open and there are no houses?"

Liang Chen shook his head: "I rarely come out, I'm not very familiar with the city."

"What about outside the city?"

Liangchen suppressed his flustered emotions, thought for a while and said: "When I went out with my wife to go to Foguang Temple to offer incense, I saw a wasteland on the road, no forest, just weeds, and now I don't know..."

Before she finished speaking, Shu Huan had already handed her a piece of candy and said: "Eat, you should know the beautiful scenery of this place, maybe we can meet them there."

Liang Chen hurriedly peeled off the candy wrapper, put the candy in his mouth, and followed Shu Huan to run again.

Because the shock stopped for a while, when they ran all the way to the city gate, the two paid attention to the situation around them, and found that the earthquake was particularly strong, and the intact houses were almost invisible, all half-collapsed or completely collapsed, and some The road was shaken out of deep cracks, and the wider cracks could not be jumped over, so they had to walk around the road. They even saw someone fall into the narrower crack with their own eyes, and was caught half of their body, struggling. not out.

They were lucky, because they had been prepared, they picked up the escape bag and ran out of the house at the first time of the earthquake. Up to now, they have not suffered any injuries, but others are not as lucky as they are. Hands and feet can be seen everywhere, and there are also those whose heads have been smashed to pieces, helping each other to escape in twos and threes.

Some women lost their children, crying loudly, and were forcibly dragged away by others. Others yelled for their parents like crazy, and rummaged through piles of rocks and debris, trying to rescue the buried children. loved ones.

Scenes of misery cut Shu Huan's heart like a knife. A city that was so prosperous turned into ruins in an instant. I don't know if Gu Xiran is far away and whether he was affected by the earthquake. I don't know about Ji Danqing and the others. Has he escaped, is he still safe

There is no curfew in this city, but the city gates are always locked and closed after nightfall, and it is not easy to get out. At this moment, it is not known what important person escaped, or the soldiers guarding the city gate escaped. The two city gates were open, standing there, like a huge mouth that constantly devoured the escaped people.

In addition to the opening of the city gate, half of the city wall was also collapsed by the earthquake, so it is easy to go out, and things like crowding and trampling will not happen. But at this moment, Shu Huan suddenly had an idea, pulled Liang Chen who was going to lead the way to the open wasteland after leaving the city, and said: "Let's wait here for a while, and see if we will encounter beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. , if you can’t meet, it’s not too late to leave.”

It is indeed better to stay here and wait for them to run out by themselves than to search for them aimlessly.

The two found a place that was relatively open and would not be hit by the collapsed city wall and sat down. While resting, they turned their heads and looked around, trying to find a pleasant and beautiful figure from the crowd.

However, the weather is not beautiful, the sky that was already pitch black suddenly gathered the sound of wind and thunder, wave after wave of thunder rolled in the sky, the lightning was so bright that it seemed to tear the sky apart, and there was not much rain to pour It was watered down, and the fire that was raging in the city was extinguished.

Heavy rain, everything is blurred.

Shu Huan was covered in water, and Liang Chen hugged each other tightly, feeling the tremor of the earth again, his heart was very empty and confused, he didn't know whether the rain was good or bad.
