Zhou Jinru looked at his watch. It was 1:20 in the afternoon. Time waits for no one, and neither does disaster. After a few hours, the color dimmed. After losing the sunlight, the speed of disaster spread will be greatly increased. By then, It's just a matter of time for both sides.
"Mr. Aske, you are finally willing to answer."
Askeran's voice came from the other end of the terminal. Zhou Jinru confirmed that he was not in the state yet, and his tone couldn't help but become a little more serious: "Mr. Asker, you are making a joke out of hundreds of thousands of lives. It's not you now." Great time for vacation!”
"Don't worry, Mr. Aguang, we have plenty of time. The preparations made by the Timos family will not disappoint our allies."
Zhou Jinru asked, "Are you still at Timos Manor?"
"Sister, I still have some luggage to pack, so the speed is not that fast. For girls, it's best not to rush them too much."
Asi's calmness made Zhou Jinru particularly depressed: "I don't know what your plans are. First of all, I killed Duke Ford. The nobles behind him are also dead. Those Victoria's secret agents are also dead." Master, it’s up to you.”
Zhou Jinru terminated the call directly. The emperor was not anxious and the eunuch was, so he followed suit.
He leaned back in the soft chair, took a pack of snacks from Ansel next to him, drank hot tea from the thermos cup, looked at the crowded refugees outside the car window, and finally let out a helpless sigh.
After the second team merged into the motorcade, Zhou Jinru let out a long breath and subconsciously rubbed his chest. His actions attracted Ansel's attention. The young doctor leaned a little closer and asked with concern: "Doctor, are you feeling unwell? I noticed that you I keep rubbing my chest, do you need a quick check?"
The cute lop-eared rabbit was wearing a dark hat, with only a little pink ears exposed from both sides of the hat brim. A tuft of pink hair was sticking up in front of his forehead. His big, watery eyes were staring at him. Zhou Jinru felt an inexplicable blush. I couldn't help but turned my head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
It's really too much to see the hunk of Rhode Island up close.
Zhou Jinru straightened his breathing and the chest tightness dissipated. He suddenly found that he had finished eating the snacks in his hands. He was too embarrassed to ask Ansel for more, so he closed his eyes and started to rest. He has not rested since morning. When I relaxed, I felt a little drowsy.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was leaning on the macho man's shoulder, and the good smell penetrated his nose along the tips of his hair. He quickly stood up and moved away: "Sorry, I just fell asleep."
Ansel smiled softly and handed over the thermos cup: "Don't worry, doctor, Sister Amiya is not here, and no one will disturb your rest."
Zhou Jinru almost burst into tears, "Amiya, did you hear that? Even Ansel knows that you often exploit me, so you removed Rabbit's assistant and replaced him with a fierce model."
"What time is it now?"
Ansel tilted his head: "Doctor, you have only been asleep for less than an hour."
Zhou Jinru hurriedly lowered his head and looked at his watch. It had only been more than forty minutes since he fell asleep, and the time was now two thirty.
"There's no movement from Timos?"
Ansel shook his head and said the status quo had not changed.
"Can't wait any longer."
Zhou Jinru gritted his teeth and dialed Amiya's short number: "Amiya, Rhode Island will start evacuation operations from now on..."
"What about the crisis contract?"
Zhou Jinru is so busy that he has not yet seen the terms of the crisis contract. Although Provence is in the convoy, he has no intention of looking at the relevant terms: "This disaster is more serious than we imagined, and the communication with the local organization has reached a deadlock. I would rather abandon this operation."
Amiya's hesitant voice came from the other side: "Do you want to think about it again, doctor?"
"I……"
Before he finished speaking, the front of the motorcade suddenly stopped, and even the car he was in had to stop to check the situation.
"I'll contact you later. There seems to be a problem on my end."
Zhou Jinru handed the terminal to Ansel beside him, got off the car with Du Bin, and checked the situation. He saw a huge crack in the middle of the road ahead, with a width of more than one meter, and the depth was still being measured.
"Geological disaster?"
Also hurriedly getting out of the car were Di Ling and Provence. The former held the tuning fork staff and said thoughtfully: "It doesn't look like it, doctor. Look at the traces of tearing on the ground here. Geological disasters will not be so evenly distributed. They should Something is pulling on the ground, shifting and causing the pavement to break."
“Not enough time for the detour.”
Zhou Jinru watched the refugees trying to jump over the ravine. He waved and shouted: "Tear down our spare steel plates to build a temporary passage, and drive the car over first."
When he came back to his senses, he found that the earth spirit had inserted the tuning fork staff into the ground, and a dark purple skeletal sheep loomed behind him. His eyes were tightly closed, his beautiful eyelashes were shaking slightly, and he was murmuring:
"...There is no geological disaster, nor is it a disaster. The underground movement is normal and this should not happen..."
Provence looked at her companion helplessly. She had tried many times but could not stop the earth spirit from listening to the sound in the tuning fork staff. The doctor standing next to him had a serious expression and suddenly extended his hand to the tuning fork staff.
The earth spirit listened carefully. As the messenger of disaster, she knew her mission very well and knew what was right and what was wrong.
In fact, Provence's suspicion was right, and the earth spirit also felt that if she continued like this, she would be completely controlled by this staff and eventually lose herself. Especially when listening to the sound of the staff, strange words kept coming into her head. Here, it is an irresistible force.
But just now, while she was still listening, a huge force suddenly came from her. The doctor standing not far away snatched the staff from her hand, with a look of disgust and evil on his face. He had experienced the battlefield. With the ferocious aura that only people crawling out of the dead have, I heard the doctor growl: "Shut up! What are you beeping about? Try another beeping?!"
An even more shocking scene happened: a humanoid shadow appeared behind the doctor, stretched out his hand, spread his fingers to hold the head of the skeleton sheep behind the earth spirit, made the same threatening action, and then disappeared.
Zhou Jinru was so focused on the tuning fork staff in his hand that he didn't notice the changes behind him. He threw the staff to the earth spirit, looked at the several operators who were busy laying temporary pathways, and said without looking back: "Next The next time it talks nonsense, you come to me!"
The earth spirit took the tuning fork blankly. For some reason, the staff in his hand seemed to be more comfortable than usual...
Provence opened his mouth wide and held his chin hard for a long time before he could speak.
"What just happened?"
