While several people were eating the fast food with relish, the whole building suddenly shook, and Zhang Linlin's unfinished noodle soup suddenly spilled on the table.
"Ah! What's going on?" Zhang Linlin was burned by the spilled noodle soup. Fortunately, she had already eaten half of the noodles and the temperature had already dropped.
"There's an earthquake! Hurry and hide under the table!" Chen Yuanyuan shouted.
Chen Yuanyuan was shocked when she felt the vibration. She looked up and saw the crystal lamp on the roof swinging violently. It was teetering as if it would fall down in the next second. She immediately called them to hide under the table.
Seeing that there was not much space under the dining table, Chen Yuanyuan quickly walked to the side and hid under the desk.
"Then, put it on immediately." Chen Yuanyuan took out the helmet from the space and threw it to the three of them on the table.
It is most dangerous to accidentally hit your head during an earthquake or lose consciousness and mobility during a disaster, so protecting your head is the top priority.
During the shaking, the warning bell in the hotel also sounded immediately. The ringing bell was accompanied by the sound of various debris falling to the ground nearby, making the atmosphere at this moment particularly tense.
Under the strong shock, Chen Yuanyuan felt that typhoons and extreme cold were just appetizers of the end of the world. They were difficult to endure but there was always a glimmer of hope.
Even as the death toll gradually accumulates during long periods of extreme cold, at least life is harvested in a gentler way.
And strong earthquakes make people even more desperate. They may be enjoying family life with their families one moment, but they may be crushed to death under the ruins of the next second.
Although the initial earthquake lasted only nearly two minutes, Chen Yuanyuan knew that there would be constant aftershocks.
When the shaking stopped, Chen Yuanyuan called on several people to immediately carry their backpacks and protect their heads, and ran downstairs together.
"Are you okay? Come downstairs quickly!" Xiang Suiwen's voice sounded from outside the door. He urged them to go downstairs as soon as Chen Yuanyuan opened the door.
Chen Yuanyuan and the others followed Xiang Suiwen and his men to the stairs quickly. As they walked down the road, they saw more and more people rushing down the stairs.
Nearly a hundred employees and guests of the inn gathered in the outdoor parking lot outside the hotel. Xiang Suiwen stopped panting as soon as he got outside, and several of his men went over and carried him to a safe place.
"Follow me! I'm safe here!" When Xiang Suiwen saw that Chen Yuanyuan and his party were not walking together, even though he was being pulled by his men, he quickly turned around and shouted.
"Be safe, see you again if we have the chance." Chen Yuanyuan responded and turned around and ignored him.
Although she didn't have a good impression of Xiang Suiwen, no matter what the purpose of his show of goodwill was, he still called them to go with him in times of crisis, and Chen Yuanyuan no longer cared about the past grudges.
"It is expected that there will be another earthquake. We have to change places." Based on Chen Yuanyuan's experience in her previous life, aftershocks of various sizes lasted for three days and three nights, and it was not necessarily safe to stay among the crowds.
Chen Yuanyuan asked Liu Feiyang to get Linlin to follow her, and then she pulled He Yuehua out of the crowd and left the hotel station.
The four of them ran at high speed in the snow, while paying attention to the situation on the street.
The post station is in a town dozens of kilometers away next to the mountain, and there are many residential buildings nearby.
Since most of Guangdong City is not in the earthquake zone, the pre-apocalyptic construction did not take much consideration of earthquake prevention, and cracks have begun to appear on the outer walls of several older buildings.
The road that was originally covered with snow was also a little bumpy, and there were probably cracks in the ground underneath.
Although the population near the post station is not dense, many residents have come downstairs to gather along the way, and people have panicked looks.
Chen Yuanyuan saw the road sign pointing to a medium-sized park about two hundred meters away, so she called Liu Feiyang to follow her and pulled He Yuehua to continue running forward.
After entering the park at high speed, it turned out that there was no one here, so he walked to a small forest in the park and moved a spherical capsule - the doomsday rescue capsule - into the space.
"What is this?" Zhang Linlin asked breathlessly.
"Don't ask anymore, just go in and remember to fasten your seat belts." Chen Yuanyuan opened the hatch and several people hurriedly entered the rescue cabin.
Chen Yuanyuan, who was the last one to enter, stepped into the hatch when the ground suddenly shook violently and she accidentally hit the door frame.
Immediately after putting on the helmet, Chen Yuanyuan felt dizzy for a moment. Without the protection of the helmet, she would definitely have suffered a bloody head injury.
Chen Yuanyuan endured the pain and walked into the cabin and locked the door. Liu Feiyang saw Chen Yuanyuan's pale face and immediately pulled Chen Yuanyuan to the seat. He Yuehua next to him quickly buckled Chen Yuanyuan's seat belt.
After sitting down, Chen Yuanyuan felt that her vision was particularly blurry. She immediately took out the spiritual spring water from the space and took a sip. It took a while before she felt that the things in front of her were a little clearer.
"Why is there an earthquake all of a sudden?" Zhang Linlin looked out the palm-sized window and saw a building collapsed in the distance.
"I don't know, it's much earlier than budgeted." Chen Yuanyuan said after taking off her helmet.
Zhang Linlin, who was sitting diagonally opposite, gasped when she saw the injury on Chen Yuanyuan's forehead. In addition to a big bump, half of her forehead was covered with purple bruises.
"Yuanyuan, do you have medicated oil? Let me rub it for you." Zhang Linlin said.
"Wait a minute, it's still shaking outside." Chen Yuanyuan said.
The doomsday rescue capsule was shaking up and down. Chen Yuanyuan saw the scenery outside the window moving. It was estimated that the earthquake outside was very violent, and the spherical capsule was also rolling.
Fortunately, the design of the rescue cabin will not turn upside down when moving. In addition, there are shock-absorbing and anti-collision seats. The few people in the cabin feel like they are riding on a bumpy road in a car.
"Fortunately, we rushed down the mountain today, otherwise we wouldn't know if he was buried on the mountain." Zhang Linlin said in shock.
The second wave of shaking lasted for almost five minutes before stopping. Chen Yuanyuan accidentally hit her head just now, and she had eaten something in the hotel, making her feel dizzy and nauseous.
At this time, the satellite phone rang, and Chen Yuanyuan's thoughts were very confused at the moment. Seeing that He Yuehua and Zhang Linlin also looked frightened, she handed the phone to Liu Feiyang, who was relatively calm.
"Leave it to you." Chen Yuanyuan glanced at it and saw it was Shen Yichen's call.
"Okay, you take a rest first." Liu Feiyang said.
Chen Yuanyuan was feeling dizzy and had no idea what Liu Feiyang said on the phone.
After taking out the motion sickness medicine and warm water from the space and drinking it, he handed the remaining motion sickness medicine and two bottles of spiritual spring water to He Yuehua.
"Yuanyuan, are you okay?" He Yuehua asked after taking the supplies with trembling hands.
"It's okay, let's take a rest first," Chen Yuanyuan said, holding up her eyelids, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When several people saw Chen Yuanyuan's condition, they were very worried. He Yuehua had no choice but to use her clothes to wipe away the cold sweat on Chen Yuanyuan's forehead.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Yuanyuan was woken up by the shaking feeling again, and there were waves of cold touches on her forehead.
