Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

The snow was still falling, half of the people were rubbing their hands and stamping their feet on the roadside, waiting for rescue, and half of them had already left with the cars that could still be driven.

Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, the temperature is also dropping.

Yin Ling ran to the car and struggled to open the trunk. A bunch of things fell out.

There are tools for clearing snow and food she put away before leaving.

I picked up a box, moved it to the roadside, and went to the car to pretend to look for something. In fact, I took out a few bottles of water from the space, and then invited a few people to eat together.

Self-heating rice.

In just ten minutes, you can have a hot meal.

There were six boxes in a box, and one box was left and was given to a kid next door.

Yin Ling's food was so hot that the people around him kept swallowing their saliva, but no one came over shamelessly to ask for food.

After a simple meal, Yin Ling watched several children discussing and walking back.

Now that the temperature has dropped and the sky is getting darker, we don't know when rescue will come. It will only take more than an hour to walk back.

The children didn't have any opinions, so they all nodded when Yin Ling said this.

Yin Ling couldn't turn around and leave, so he first found the few people who were with the village party secretary and explained his plan.

After hearing this, some people moved easily and some hesitated, but Yin Ling didn't care. She could leave the car here or not, but people were the most important thing.

And she just came to say hello, and did not need their permission. After the earthquake, she had already called her grandma. She was relieved when she knew that she was fine, but she was worried that the earthquake would happen again. Can't stay long.

"Yin Ling, wait a moment."

As soon as Yin Ling turned around, she heard a female voice calling her. Although she was not familiar with it, she knew who it was. It was the graduate student transfer student. What was his name?

His name is Feng Mianmian.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

The person opposite was wrapped in a black knee-length down jacket and wearing a mask so his face could not be seen clearly, but the woman's slender and well-proportioned figure could still be seen.

"It's like this. It's not safe for you to take your child back. What if something happens along the way?"

Feng Mianmian also considered that it was unsafe to travel in the dark with several children.

Yin Ling nodded, there was such a risk.

"It's really inconvenient, so let the kids come with you. I'm worried about having an old man at home. I just made a call because of the earthquake and I fell. I really can't wait to go back first."

Now that the other party has spoken, Yin Ling is not willing to pass the responsibility. It is convenient for her to go back alone!
  "No, I mean you stay together and wait for rescue." Feng Mianmian was not very satisfied when she saw the woman in front of her who was about to leave the team and act without authorization. She didn't see that the other people in the village were staying together honestly and waiting for rescue. She was quite satisfied. She has ideas, but if something happens, she will be responsible as the organizer.

"No, I'm in a hurry to go back."

After Yin Ling finished speaking, she turned around and went to explain the situation to the four children and asked them to wait a little longer.

"Sister, I want to go back with you. I don't worry about my grandparents being home." Xie Siyi comes from Granny Liu's house next door and is familiar with Yin Ling. When Yin Ling said she wanted to walk back first, she wanted to follow her.

Yin Ling glanced at her and then at the other three younger children, and nodded.

Yin Ling handed the children over to Feng Mianmian and left with Xie Siyi. Some of them took shelter in the car, while others gathered around the side of the car to protect themselves from the wind.

Someone who saw Yin Ling leaving the team asked a few questions. Hearing that they were going back, they found out that she was from Xiejiazhuang in front of them, so they said they would go with them on the way.

Yin Ling didn't care, just two people were leaving, or a group of people were leaving.

It only takes more than an hour to walk, and even if it’s windy, snowy, and cold, it doesn’t take more than an hour to walk. But there’s another reason why people don’t walk, and that’s because of the car.

The people in the village may have worked hard for half their lives to buy this car. Although something went wrong, they couldn't just leave the car here. Who knows if someone would take it away overnight. There was no village, no store, no one. Monitoring, it would be so sad to lose it.

Under the light of the snow, the quiet road was filled with the sound of crunching snow.

No one spoke, and there was no mood or energy to speak. At this time, everyone wanted to teleport home.

Passing by villages one after another, there were no bright lights due to the power outage. Occasionally, one or two houses would shine with dim light. Yin Ling guessed that it was the light of candles or flashlights. On this cold day, when passing by the village, there was not even a crowing of chickens or dogs. Yep, come to think of it, I don’t know where to stay in the house to keep warm. After walking slowly for more than an hour, the people behind me gradually separated at different intersections.

The roads in rural areas are easy to navigate. Now they are not like the twists and turns of small roads like when she was a child. The village-to-village project has indeed made every village accessible.

I estimate that it will take about ten minutes to walk the road in front of me to the end, then turn right and walk for another ten minutes to reach home.

"We're almost there, can we still go? Do you want to take a break?"

Yin Ling stopped and asked Xie Siyi who was following behind. The girl panted and shook her head, "No, I can persist."

Yin Ling nodded, and the two of them continued on their way silently.

Turning a corner, we are two minutes closer to home.

Just when Yin Ling was secretly happy, she stumbled and fell forward, followed by an exclamation from Xie Siyi.

Yin Ling couldn't control her body and stumbled forward two steps and fell directly to the ground. Only then did she realize that it was not that she had missed the step, but that there was another earthquake.

The ground beneath his feet continued to vibrate, and Xie Siyi behind him also fell to the ground unprepared.

Yin Ling struggled to get up. Regardless of the pain in his knees, he turned around and grabbed Xie Siyi behind him, shouting loudly at the same time:

"There's an earthquake! There's an earthquake! Run! There's an earthquake!"

The two of them walked forward with difficulty, but they staggered and couldn't walk in a straight line.

The quiet village suddenly became noisy.

Perhaps the earthquake in the afternoon had alerted everyone, and since it was only after seven o'clock and they still hadn't fallen asleep, everyone ran out of the house as much as possible.

"Earthquake, earthquake, earthquake!"

Xie Siyi staggered forward and was dragged forward by Yin Ling. Her head was dizzy and she felt like vomiting, but she could only grit her teeth and keep up, but her body was unsteady under her feet and she fell down.

Yin Ling only felt that the person behind her was pulling her hard. Looking back, Xie Siyi's foot stepped directly into a fifty centimeter crack. The crack was winding along the road and had a tendency to expand.

He quickly pulled the person out, and the two stumbled to the ground.

The earthquake became more and more violent, and then there was a roar, and a telephone pole not far away could not withstand the shaking and collapsed!
  It was like a switch was turned on in an instant, and telephone poles kept falling down.

This earthquake was much more serious than imagined.

Then I heard a roar, and a two-story building not far away collapsed.

The people who ran out of the house looking at this scene were horrified.

Everyone can only run to the road. Although there is an open field behind the house, the snow is too thick. If you run in, you will be buried in it and it will be difficult to move. You may even freeze to death.

Because it is located in a plain and has not undergone earthquake drills, those who stay in the village are older and cannot run fast.

Ah!
  There was a scream.

Some people couldn't see clearly in the dark and were hit by fallen telephone poles and street lights, and some fell down on the ground.

The scene was chaotic with shouts and shouts.

Yin Ling dragged Xie Siyi and the two of them staggered. Yin Ling herself was fine. Although she fell a few times, she was wearing thick clothes. In addition, her physical fitness was stronger than that of ordinary people, and her mental quality was also very strong, so she was not panicked.

Xie Siyi, who was pulled up by her, was already smashed to pieces, and her ankle was painful because her foot had just been stuck in the crack, but at this time she was too panicked to feel it.

Although everything in front of me was hidden in the dark night, the endless shouts of pain and the sound of collapse seemed to be in a nightmare.

"Siyi! Let's go!"

Yin Ling shouted several times before waking her up and pulling her to continue walking forward. It was not far away soon.

Fortunately, everyone's houses are built some distance away from the road, and they are all small two- and three-story buildings. Even if they collapse, they will not hit the road directly.
