Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

Chapter 654 Earthquake Chapter 8

Jiang Meng was speechless when she saw Guan Ce was frightened by her.

Guan Ce felt Jiang Meng's gaze on him and for a moment he didn't dare to look up, which made Guan Ce look timid.

When Guan Ce looked up again, Jiang Meng was no longer in front of him. Then Guan Ce quickly turned his head and looked around, only to find that Jiang Meng was with Li Xuan.

But even if Guan Ce knew that Jiang Meng was with Li Xuan, it would be useless. There were so many people on their side, and he was alone. If he went to cause trouble for Jiang Meng, wouldn't that be courting death?

When Jiang Meng and Li Xuan were chatting, they saw Su Huayin and Su Dagao, father and daughter, who looked unhappy.

But Lin Zhu was nowhere to be found. Seeing Su Huayin and Su Dagao looking at the crack intentionally or unintentionally, it seemed that it was not difficult to guess where Lin Zhu had gone.

Jiang Meng also knew how Lin Zhu behaved in daily life, no wonder there was no sadness on Su Huayin and Su Dagao's faces.

What's more, there is confusion about the future, and this confusion is also seen on most people's faces.

Suddenly, a strange cry was heard: "I survived, but where are my family? Where are my parents? Mom and Dad, where are you?"

This voice immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

The person who made the strange cry was a round-faced man, about 170cm tall, neither fat nor thin, and covered in dust.

At this time, the round-faced man put his hands on his mouth, forming a trumpet shape, and kept repeating this sentence.

Everyone looked at the round-faced man with a feeling of grief for the deceased, and they didn't know when it would be their turn.

At this time, a man walked out of the crowd, grabbed the round-faced man's arm, and said, "Xiao Fang, come with me."

She was so choked up when she said this, as if she would not be able to bear it and burst into tears in the next second.

As Xiao Fang was taken away by his relatives, Jiang Meng learned from the discussions of people around her that the woman who took Xiao Fang away was Xiao Fang's aunt.

According to what the eyewitnesses said, people who were unaware of the situation realized that Xiaofang's parents had fallen into the crack.

This made Xiao Fang, who witnessed the scene with his own eyes, unable to accept it, so he now looks a little crazy.

I don’t know if I can recover in the future.

Li Xuan, who was beside him, looked at his family members who were surrounding him and said with deep gratitude: "We must not separate in the future."

Even if we die, we must die together. Otherwise, the living ones will be so miserable. However, Li Xuan only thought about this sentence in his mind and did not say it out loud.

To be fair, Li Xuan still wants Lu Wei and the others to live well. No matter who dies first in the future, they must live well.

The prestige of the village chief Xu Ke, who lived not far away, was greatly reduced because of the previous incident, so he encountered great obstacles when registering missing persons.

Everyone ignored the village chief Xu Ke, even those who used to be his lackeys were no exception.

In the end, it was the team leader Fan Xinyu and Shu Lian who took over the work and carried it out.

I don’t know how long it took, but Fan Xinyu and Shu Lian looked at the black names that were crossed out on the notebook, and their hearts suddenly became blocked and depressed uncontrollably.

These are not just a string of cold data, but they represent living lives and the passing of living lives.

Others looked at the food collected in the playground and sighed. How many days would this little food last?

At this moment, a man suddenly ran in from outside and shouted loudly: "It's flooded outside, it's flooded!"

Then he looked like he was running out of breath.

Everyone was confused about what he said, and someone immediately asked, "What was flooded?"

After resting for a while, the man said to everyone, "The fields are all flooded by the river!"

Jiang Meng looked over when he heard the voice and found that he had no impression of this person. It was probably because he had not been with everyone in the playground of Shuidu Primary School from the beginning.

But the original owner did remember his name, it seemed to be Todd.

When everyone heard what Todd said, they were all shocked.

The reason why everyone has been living well these days is simply because of Deng Qing's fish pond and He Jieyi's convenience store.

And the most important reason is the vegetables and fruits in the fields.

Now that the fields are flooded, how can we survive?

After a moment's silence, the village chief Xu Ke said to Todd, "Tell us in detail about the situation outside."

As the village chief Xu Ke spoke, everyone still held out a glimmer of hope for the fields.

Everyone stared at Todd. Even though there was some commotion in the crowd, everyone wanted to know Todd's answer.

Todd took a deep breath and said to everyone, "After the earthquake, there was a problem with the land on the other side of the river.

So the water in the river flowed into the fields along the ditches created by the shaking.

I saw that most of the fields were submerged in water."

After hearing what Todd said, everyone looked at each other. Someone immediately asked, "Most of the fields? So there are still some fields that have not been soaked in water?"

Todd nodded. He had said everything he wanted to say. After running for such a long time, he was indeed a little tired, so Todd simply sat aside to rest.

After the man finished saying that, someone couldn't help but run towards the field, praying in his heart that nothing would happen to his field.

As for the villagers whose fields were on the back hill, they were not worried about this problem at all, as if they were outsiders.

Jiang Meng didn't expect that the impact of this earthquake would be so great that it destroyed all the fields in the village.

Because of the original owner's memory, Jiang Meng knew that there was such a river in the village.

In the past, for the sake of convenience, people fought hard for the fields near the river, just to make it easier when watering.

But now it has been affected so greatly.

As time passed, everyone saw the man coming back dejected.

It seems that he also knows that the situation is not optimistic.

Among them, only a few people had no change in expression.

The fields of these people were spared from the disaster because their terrain was higher than other fields.

Night slowly fell, and the problem of food scarcity caused by the earthquake broke out for the first time.

The first one is He Jieyi, because the most food piled up in Shuidu Primary School comes from He Jieyi's family, and most of them are moved from He Jieyi's convenience store.

He Jieyi and his wife Ai Shuang were seen picking out items from the convenience store one by one from the pile.

It is self-evident what they think.

Someone immediately said dissatisfiedly: "He Jieyi, what do you mean?"

After hearing this, He Jieyi lowered his head and didn't have time to speak.

Ai Shuang, who was standing by, said anxiously, "What do we mean? Haven't we been nice enough?

Our family had previously agreed with the village chief that we would be compensated for the amount of things we had spent, but look at us now, the money is nowhere to be seen.

Even if I watched it, can I use it in the current situation? I have a big family of my own, I can't abandon my family for outsiders, right?"

The man who spoke was immediately choked by Ai Shuang's words, looked around, and whispered: "Don't you have any other ideas?"

When the people around heard his words, their eyes rolled, knowing that this was also a matter that concerned everyone.

Not far away, Guan Ce, who couldn't hold back any longer, stood up, because he felt that if he didn't stand up, Ai Shuang and He Jieyi would probably have picked him up!

So Guan Ce said to Ai Shuang and He Jieyi, "We don't want to see this happen.

And we are all from the same village, so why don’t you help us? If I had so much food, I would share it too.”

Everyone nodded in response to Guan Ce's words. Although they knew that Guan Ce was not a good person, so what?

What Guan Ce is expressing now is their thoughts.

It was the first time for Guan Ce to receive so much support from villagers, so he became more and more confident.

Looking at He Jieyi and Ai Shuang, he said, "I beg you."

Ai Shuang was so angry about Guan Ce's moral blackmail that his eyes turned red because of the villagers' whispering.

He immediately stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said to He Jieyi: "Since you are so noble, why do your parents go hungry so that you can have a full meal?"

He Jieyi originally wanted to take back the things in the store because of Ai Shuang's suggestion.

Because of this proposal, He Jieyi felt a little guilty and thought about giving some of it to everyone after he sorted out these things.

But they didn't expect that after hearing such words again and again, it seemed that what they did was wrong. But how could it be wrong for them to take back the things in their own store?

Are we taking their efforts for granted?

Just like Deng Qing, He Jieyi couldn't help but glance at Deng Qing when he thought of this.

Guan Ce felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Ai Shuang said. He was not so shameless that he could face it calmly when others implied that he was unfilial.

When Guan Ce was suppressed by Ai Shuang, the others were extremely anxious. Don't think they didn't see it.

Although Ai Shuang and He Jieyi were communicating with Guan Ce, they did not stop their actions.

Looking at the gradually decreasing food in front of them, not only Guan Ce was anxious, they were anxious too!

At this time, everyone thought of the village chief Xu Ke. Ai Shuang and He Jieyi might not listen to the words of ordinary people, but they had to listen to the words of the village chief, right?

After hearing everyone's whispered suggestions, Xu Ke still gritted his teeth and came to He Jieyi and Ai Shuang, and said, "Take a look..."

He was interrupted by He Jieyi: "Village Chief, if you still want food, just settle the previous bill."

As he spoke, He Jieyi took out a small notebook from his arms. As He Jieyi flipped through it, numbers appeared in front of Xu Ke.

Xu Ke listened to He Jieyi's words and looked at the small notebook He Jieyi took out. He was suddenly stuck and didn't know what to say.

It is true that the previous accounts have not been settled, and Xu Ke also knows that he has no money. All his money is buried under the ruins. Where can he get the money?

Besides, nowadays everyone likes to keep their money in the bank, and he is no exception. So even if the cash in his house was buried under the rubble, there would not be much.

Not to mention that there is no internet now. Even if there is, his cell phone is out of battery and cannot be used at all.

So every method was blocked.

Ai Shuang, who was standing aside, looked at He Jieyi several times.

She had seen He Jieyi's reluctance before, and now He Jieyi had obviously changed his mind.

Ai Shuang was immediately happy. She thought about it and realized that she should thank those people who had just spoken.

If it weren't for them, how could He Jieyi change his mind so quickly?

Ai Shuang also saw that the village chief Xu Ke looked like he had been talking for a long time, so she said to Xu Ke without blinking, "Village chief, since you can't pay the money, why don't you just stay here and bother us?"

He Jieyi also nodded. Looking at He Jieyi and Ai Shuang's attitude, Xu Ke had to leave because he really couldn't pay the money back.

Everyone saw that the village chief had no other options, so they all looked unhappy.

As Ai Shuang and He Jieyi moved things away one by one, someone couldn't help but say, "Aren't they trying to kill us? Let's go stop them!"

After saying this, this person rushed forward first without waiting for others to react.

But as this person stepped forward, it was as if a switch had been turned on, and everyone began to respond.

Seeing Ai Shuang and He Jieyi taking the food away, it would be better for them to grab it themselves!

Guan Ce was also very excited, and he encouraged his parents: "Dad, Mom, let's go quickly, don't let us run to the end and miss out on even the soup!"

Guan Fu looked at his legs covered with bruises and felt a continuous pain. This was caused by being hit by a rock when he was trying to take his wife Liu Ying to escape.

But Guan Ce didn't care about them at all. During the earthquake, he just kept running away without even looking back.

So Guan Fu was heartbroken. Liu Ying saw Guan Fu's emotions and raised his hand to pat Guan Fu on the shoulder.

Guan Fu took a look at Guan Ce's expression and was extremely excited.

Then, he said to Guan Ce calmly: "You go, we won't go."

After hearing what Guan Fu said, Guan Ce said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me waste so much time waiting for you."

Although Guan Fu's attitude towards him was somewhat cold, Guan Ce did not take it seriously.

It was always like this. Anyway, as long as he said something nice, everything would be back to normal. So Guan Ce didn't take Guan Fu's attitude towards him to heart at all.

With one leap, he rushed forward.

Village chief Xu Ke did not expect the situation to develop into what it is now.

Everyone was like wild beasts, looking ferocious and roaring at Ai Shuang, who had plenty of food, and He Jieyi and his wife.

Seeing this, Xu Ke sighed and said that it would be better if Ai Shuang and He Jieyi had just agreed to him before.

If I had promised myself before, the situation would never have turned out like this.
