Apocalyptic Paradise

Chapter 40

It rained heavily day and night for eight days. The cave was extremely humid, the stone walls were covered with white hairs, and the firewood was too damp to light.Fortunately, the cave is connected to the underground river, and the water seeping in quickly flows down.So there is no danger for now.

"It's really flooding." Ming Ji sighed to himself looking at the rain curtain all over the sky, and everyone in the cave turned to Chen Zhuxia, looking at her like they were looking at a monster.

"Zhu Xia, so your dream turned out to be real!" Chen Zhuxia smiled mysteriously and didn't answer.

"So, did you dream about when the flood would recede?" Mingji asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Chen Zhuxia replied honestly.

Ming Ji sighed dejectedly, and sat down along the base of the wall listlessly.

"However, I know that Xinjiang is the safest." Chen Zhuxia continued.

"Really?" Ming Ji, Wang Ke and others exclaimed happily.

"Yes." Chen Zhuxia nodded solemnly.

Yuan Dingfang also stood up and said: "All of us should not be so sluggish, otherwise the disaster did not knock us down, but knocked ourselves down."

Ming Ji patted his buttocks and got up, and said embarrassedly: "Yes, we have been a bit decadent these days."

"Come on, let's all move around in the cave. Find some work by the way, don't stare there. No matter how hard you stare at the rain, it won't stop." Chen Zhuxia also said loudly.

Everyone tugged at the corners of their mouths, forced a smile, and moved around in the cave in twos and threes.

Once a person has something to do, his spirit will not be distracted.

Everyone took out all the things they had prepared and rearranged and classified them.Now, the car tires that Chen Zhuxia moved up from the mountain have become a hot commodity.Fortunately, the preparations were sufficient at that time. After each person distributed two, there were still a few left.Yuan Dingfang discussed with Gao Qiang and planned to tie it with wood to make a raft.

Ming Ji sighed while busy: "This is our Noah's Ark."

Wang Ke asked: "You said, every country in the world should have Noah's Ark?"

Ming Ji said solemnly: "Even if there is, it is for a very small number of leaders or the super-rich. We civilians should find our own way out. Not to mention anything else, we can't afford the boat ticket."

Gu Gong turned his head and asked Chen Zhuxia: "Zhu Xia, have you ever dreamed of Noah's Ark?"

"No."

The heavy rain has not stopped, and it has lasted for more than 20 days.When the rain was light, they walked out of the cave and looked down the mountain.I saw that the whole mountain was a vast ocean.A large amount of wood, dead animals and people, furniture and so on floated on the surface of the murky water.The Tianshan Mountains fell into an isolated island.

"How could this be?" Everyone stared at all this in astonishment.

"If this continues, will Tianshan Mountain be submerged?" Wang Ke asked fearfully.

"No way, the Tianshan Mountain is more than [-] meters above sea level." Gao Qiang immediately denied it.

"That's not necessarily true. It is said that the Himalayas were also seas before."

There was a lot of discussion.

A few people were talking, suddenly, there was a violent shaking under their feet.

"Everyone be careful!" Chen Zhuxia shouted loudly.Immediately afterwards, the vibration became more and more violent, and it could be described as shaking the earth.

"Quickly, find a flat place, and pay attention to the rocks rolling down the mountain!" Several people reminded each other, helping each other to quickly find a place to take refuge.

However, this is on a mountain, and there are rocks and trees all around, where is there any flat place?
"Let's go back to the cave."

"What if it collapses?"

"Let's just collapse. It's better than being stoned to death."

Everyone had no choice but to hide in the cave.

Not long after they entered, they heard a loud bang.Looking out through the gap of the cave door, it turned out that the stone on the top of the mountain had rolled down.

Everyone gasped.Thank goodness they came in!

Before they were finished rejoicing, the cave began to vibrate.

"My God!"

"Zhu Xia!" Yuan Dingfang suddenly pressed Chen Zhuxia on his body, only to hear a crackling sound, and the roof of the cave they were in began to fall down with rubble.

"Xiaoyun come here!" Chen Zhuxia shouted.

"Auntie, don't worry about me! Ah——"

"She's with me." It was Ming Ji's voice, and Chen Zhuxia was slightly relieved.

"Attention everyone, be careful to protect your head!" Ming Ji shouted hoarsely.

"Hurry up and get the wagon over your head!" Chen Zhuxia suddenly remembered the things they had stored before, and hurriedly shouted.As if waking up from a dream, everyone flocked to the storage room to find car wagons.There are also a few hard hats inside, which are now in short supply.Everyone took what was available.They each looked for favorable terrain, huddled there, silently waiting for the disaster to pass.

Yuan Dingfang protected Chen Zhuxia and also went to get a piece of iron sheet together. They hid between two solid stones and blocked the car sheet above their heads.He pressed Chen Zhuxia under him again without hesitation.

"Crack, click——" There were several loud noises, and several gaps were cracked in the cave wall.

"咚咚", followed by a messy sound, and the stone fragments on it fell like snowflakes.It hit the wagon and the ground with a crackling sound.Chen Zhuxia felt Yuan Dingfang's body on top of him suddenly stop.

She breathed hard and called out: "Ding Fang—"

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being smashed." Yuan Dingfang forced out a sentence.

This situation has been going on for a long time before it slowly stopped.The vibration gradually subsided.Everyone was dizzy from the toss.Some people were smashed all over their bodies.

When everyone got together again, seeing each other's bruised noses and swollen faces, they couldn't help grinning wryly together.

"what on earth is it?"

"earthquake?"

"Maybe it's the movement of the earth's crust."

The shaking of the cave stopped.But the situation in other places is still not optimistic. From time to time, they heard the violent sound of landslides and ground cracks outside, which made people feel horrified and frightened.

After the shaking, strong winds blew up again.

The wind was stronger than anything they had seen before.It was as if all the ghosts from all over the world gathered together to howl.From time to time, there was a crackling sound outside the cave, which was the sound of trees being broken.

The wind has not stopped, and the torrential rain that has just stopped for a long time has returned.After the destruction just now, the cave is now full of gaps.Like a giant fly looking for cracks in eggs, the storm burrowed into it.

Everyone shouted to transfer food and wood.

It is their living thing, and it cannot be sloppy at all.Regardless of the gravel on the ground, everyone took things to find a dry place to hide them without hesitation, fell down, and gritted their teeth to get up again.It was bleeding and swollen, but no one cared.

After everyone staggered and moved the things.Looking back, a lot of water had accumulated in the cave.They didn't care to take a breath, and started to drain water again.

Outside, the storm was raging madly.The temperature also began to drop strangely.When it was getting dark.They had to dig out all kinds of tattered winter clothes and shiver and wear them on their bodies to resist the sudden low temperature and cold.Everyone was wrapped in clothes and gathered together, listening to the sound of wind, rain, and rolling stones outside the cave, and no one could close their eyes.

Ming Kee took the lead in breaking the silence and recited in a provocative voice: "Ah, we are brave Haiyan, let the storm come more violently!"

Everyone condemned: "Go out of the hole and fly." Ming Ji rubbed his nose and laughed.

The darkness became thicker and thicker, and gradually, they could no longer see each other's faces.No one left to rest alone, everyone gathered together.

I don't know who started it, and they sang the song together:
"Get up, get up! Those who do not want to die!

Let's build a new Great Wall with our flesh and blood!
Humanity has reached the most dangerous time!
We stepped on the earthquake together, avoided the mudslides,
Together we brave the meteorites and hailstones in the sky

Risking zombies and viruses

Go ahead!Enter! "

The sound of rain, wind, thunder and lightning swallowed and split their singing, but everyone still sang unyieldingly.

When everyone got tired of singing, Wang Ke came up with a new way to play.

"Let's all make a game, which is crowding people. You must have played it when you were young. Come on, let's start now."

The crowd laughed and clung to the wall and squeezed desperately. Those who were squeezed out quickly returned to the team and continued to squeeze.The more they crowded, the more excited they were, as if they had returned to their long-lost childhood.The short-lived joy made them temporarily forget the sinister situation outside.
