When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

Unfortunately, the peaceful and peaceful time in the tent did not last long. Just when Pei Chonglin fell asleep again, there was a sudden violent vibration on the ground.

The shaking lasted for tens of seconds before stopping. The earth wall outside was shaken to the point of collapse, and the broken earth crushed a corner of the tent. Li Ying and Zhu Daneng, who had been sleeping soundly, were also awakened instantly.

"What, what's going on?" Zhu Daneng sat up in a fit of excitement, staring blankly at the crooked tent and asked.

Li Ying was also confused. He forgot that he was still wrapped in a sleeping bag and was thrown back as soon as he sat up.

"Ouch!"

His head hit something hard, causing his skull to hurt.

He turned around and saw Pei Chonglin sitting up, rubbing his arms.

"..."

Only then did Li Ying realize that something had hit him, and he was so violent that he hurt his arm.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Li Ying rubbed his head and apologized, feeling he was wrong.

"If necessary, go out and take a look." Pei Chonglin ignored him, climbed out of the sleeping bag neatly, and took the lead in leaving the tent.

"Yes, let's go out and take a look. Is this an earthquake or something? If my weight hadn't weighed down our tent, we might have been knocked out. We have to take a look!"

Zhu Daneng scratched his head and muttered to himself, while holding on to the deformed tent and getting out. When he was done, he turned back and warned Li Ying: "You should come out quickly, I'm afraid this tent won't hold up!"

"understood."

Li Ying responded and climbed out of the sleeping bag obediently. Looking at the tent that gave him a good night's sleep, he sighed regretfully.

I hope Zhu Daneng has a spare tent in his all-purpose backpack, otherwise they will be freezing the next night.

Thinking of this, Li Ying rubbed his nose, and then shrugged somewhat self-deprecatingly. It was good to eat, drink and stay for one night. How could he dare to expect a second night.

Besides, after today, he and Mr. Pei will probably part ways, so where else can they go to use other people's equipment.

What Li Ying has to do is to stop it when it's good, and then just be himself with a clear conscience.

When he came out, he saw Pei Chonglin already standing on the highest dune, looking eagerly towards the south.

Li Ying was shocked. Over there was the Flame Mountain Base. Could it be that something had happened to the Flame Mountain Base?

"Hey, why is there smoke coming out of the Flame Mountain base? It can't be a volcanic eruption, right?" Zhu Daneng raised his feet and asked in a loud voice while watching.

Hearing this, Li Ying also hurriedly climbed up.

Although he did not see the base of the Flame Mountain, there was indeed huge smoke and dust billowing in that direction. From a distance, it looked like a huge mushroom cloud erupting, and even the sky over there was gray.

"Is it on fire?"

Li Ying blinked and was a little confused. The smoke did not look like it was caused by burning, but more like sand and dust raised by a huge impact.

"Or it's an earthquake."

Zhu Daneng squinted and looked again and again, but saw no flames or anything, and immediately changed his mind, "The earthquake just now was not light, and it is still such a distance from us, so the magnitude cannot be too low!"

"It's not an earthquake or a fire."

Pei Chonglin, who had been silent until now, gave a double negative answer. Before the two people around him could ask questions, he uttered a few words with a gloomy face: "It's a subsidence."

Subsidence, as the name suggests, means the subsidence of the ground. Earthquakes may also cause subsidence, but Pei Chonglin definitely denied it.

Li Ying was keenly aware that something was wrong. He frowned, stared in the direction of the base, and confirmed with Pei Chonglin: "Mr. Pei, are you saying that the underground city of Flame Mountain has collapsed?"

"Probably."

Pei Chonglin nodded. The underground city had indeed collapsed, but to what extent he could not judge.

If this was the answer, Li Ying's heart sank to the bottom. He thought of the Meisang family and the innocent survivors, and couldn't help but murmured: "Then, aren't those people underground …”

When Li Ying woke up in the underground cave, he quietly checked the soil condition. The soil in the desert environment is generally dry and soft. Even if the cave is dug deep enough, it has been reinforced by earth power users, but once it encounters a strong vibration , complete collapse is a matter of minutes.

At the moment, Li Ying just hopes that there is only a partial collapse there, and maybe he is lucky enough to avoid the crowded accommodation area. With so many survivors, there will always be lucky ones who are spared the disaster!

The more he thought about it, the heavier he felt. Unexpectedly, Zhu Daneng, who was standing by him, immediately added: "Yes, boy, didn't you say that hundreds of people are hiding underground, and it's still early in the morning?" , are you still under the covers, how about if it collapses like this?"

Their small tents were inevitably smashed crookedly, and one can imagine what would happen to those sleeping in the underground caves.

"I don't know, why did it collapse?"

Li Ying shook his head and didn't dare to think about it anymore. Although he had nothing to do with this base, he was still inevitably touched.

Especially the Mei Sang family, they met by chance, but they treated each other sincerely. It would be a pity if they died in the subsidence like this.

After Zhu Daneng sighed, he suddenly approached Pei Chonglin fearfully and sighed quietly:

"Master, it's a good thing we didn't go last night, otherwise we might be buried in it now."

"We got lucky."

Pei Chonglin could only think of this statement. After saying this, he couldn't help but look at Li Ying and thought to himself, if the mysterious spiritual power hadn't led them to the sacrifice pit, it would not be impossible for them to be buried underground.

Zhu Daneng said that Li Ying was lucky enough to meet them. In turn, they discovered that Li Ying was far away from the Flame Mountain base. Isn't this also a kind of luck?

It seems that they really got some good luck from Li Ying.

"Then what to do next?" Zhu Daneng rubbed his big belly and waited for instructions from their young master.

Pei Chonglin: "Go and have a look!"

Li Ying: "Go and save people!"

Hearing Li Ying's urgency, Pei Chonglin raised his eyebrows at him and asked, "You look worried. Do you know anyone?"

Even though he was not familiar with her, Li Ying nodded: "That's right, Mei Sang, there is a girl I know, and her family lives in the base."

"Girl?" Pei Chonglin became nervous and looked at him sideways: "The person you like?"

"Ah? What do you like?"

Li Ying was stunned for a moment when he was asked. Mr. Pei must have jumped to the topic too quickly. He just wanted to confirm the situation of the Meisang family. Taking their things was considered a promise to save people. Now they At this critical moment, he must go there anyway!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Daneng immediately became interested. He came over and patted Li Ying on the shoulder and said very openly: "Hey boy, don't be shy. You are lucky to meet a girl these days. Don't worry, we will help you save the beauty! "

Without waiting for Li Ying to explain, Pei Chonglin directly gouged out Zhu Daneng and said, "Shut up!"

He was puzzled, why was he a bodyguard everywhere? He would have to fire him when he returned to the imperial capital!
