Chapter 332 - Earthquake Buried the Princess
Chapter 332: Earthquake Buried the Princess
As soon as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, the person in charge, who had just lowered his head, suddenly ran out of the mountain gate. His strong skills did not look like that of a well-mannered business manager at all. Xia Wanyuan was a distance away from him. By the time she reacted to catch him, he had already slipped out the door.
It was unknown what mechanism he had pressed on the originally bright door, but a stone door instantly fell.
At the same time, the ground began to shake violently. Under such a strong vibration, the mountain began to roll down countless stones. There was a rumble outside, and in the cave, large stones were smashing down.
“F*ck!” Xuan Sheng could not help but curse softly. ‘Can an earthquake be controlled by humans?’
As Xuan Sheng dodged the falling stones, he followed Xia Wanyuan to check if the door was open.
“We can’t go out.” Xia Wanyuan remembered the terrain outside. Around this mountain were several mountains higher than it, and they were extremely close. Under such a vibration, even if she could go out, she would be hit by overwhelming rocks. Xia Wanyuan made a prompt decision. “Let’s go in.”
With that, Xia Wanyuan wanted to run into the cave.
“Be careful!” Seeing a large rock that was half the height of a person smashing down in Xia Wanyuan’s direction, Xuan Sheng was shocked. He immediately reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan away, but he did not notice the rock that had fallen from his head.
Xia Wanyuan’s pupils shrank. The rock smashed straight at Xuan Sheng. Xia Wanyuan pulled Xuan Sheng away, but it was too late to dodge. In a moment of desperation, Xia Wanyuan flew and kicked the rock to the side.
The huge impact of the kick made Xia Wanyuan’s legs weaken. Amidst the chaos of flying sand and rolling stones, Xuan Sheng could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking.
“Are you okay?” Xuan Sheng panicked. He hurriedly helped Xia Wanyuan up. He did not notice the rubble that had fallen onto him.
“Go northwest.” Xia Wanyuan gritted her teeth, her gaze firm.
Xia Wanyuan had just taken a look. The mountain was extremely fragile, and there was more earth than stone. Under such a tremor, it was likely that the cave would not last long before it was filled with earth and stones.
There seemed to be less soil and stones falling in the northwest direction. Perhaps we could find a more solid place.
Xuan Sheng used his hand to protect Xia Wanyuan’s head in case a rock fell on her as he ran northwest with her.
As expected, in a small corner in the northwest direction, the stone was extremely hard. Even with such a strong vibration, not many rocks fell.
Xuan Sheng brought Xia Wanyuan and sat close to the stone wall. The vibrations underground were still abnormally violent and did not show any signs of weakening. Xia Wanyuan frowned.
Will the earthquake last that long?
However, she did not have time to think too much. The pain that she did not feel in her panic just now slowly came out from between her legs. She had directly gone up with that kick just now, and her legs were numb now.
Xia Wanyuan lowered her head. Her leg was probably broken, so she reached out and tore open her sleeve. Xia Wanyuan touched a stone slab and tied it up. The excruciating pain made Xia Wanyuan sweat.
However, Xia Wanyuan’s hands did not stop. She firmly fixed the place where she was injured to prevent her bones from misplaced.
“I’m sorry. I’ve implicated you.” Xuan Sheng quietly watched Xia Wanyuan wrap the rough stone slab around her fair calves. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was either scratched or covered in dust. Xuan Sheng, who had always been a clean freak, felt that she was extremely clean.
There was clearly something wrong with the person in charge just now. Xuan Sheng felt that it should be the doing of the old fart from Glory World Corporation.
“It’s not your fault. He should be here for me,” Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment and suddenly said. The moment the person in charge turned around to confirm that they were trapped inside and could not get out, he looked at her.
Earth and stones kept falling. The originally small cave gradually piled up stones that were as tall as a person as time passed, filling the entire cave. Only in the north-west corner, less than two square meters, was there a gap.
Xia Wanyuan took out her phone. As expected, there was no signal. This was at the foot of the mountain, and the signal was extremely weak. Under such an earthquake, the base station outside was probably damaged.
“What should we do now?” Xuan Sheng looked at the soil and rocks that were taller than him. He could not even stretch his legs. He frowned tightly. Who knew how long it would take for the rescue team to find them?
Outside the mountain, it was even more serious than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. This “earthquake” affected the entire Lin Xi City, and even the surrounding cities had an extremely strong tremor.
It was chaotic. It was currently the summer river flood season, and the intense earthquake triggered the dam break. Half of the city was drowned in the flood.
Corpses were everywhere.
The accident was too big. Soon, everyone’s eyes were on this disaster city.
After Shen Qian learned of this, he immediately contacted Xia Wanyuan. All he received was “the number you called is not in the service area.”
Shen Qian had been in the industry for many years. He knew about the awkward relationship between the Xia family and Xia Wanyuan, as well as her celebrity status. Hence, he did not tell Xia Yuanqing the news immediately but contacted Chen Yun.
“What?!!! You said that Wanyuan is in Linxi City?!!” Chen Yun could not even hold the phone properly.
When Xia Wanyuan left, she only said that she had something to attend to in another city. They didn’t know where Xia Wanyuan had gone at all. Looking at the scene on the television where wolves were everywhere, Chen Yun’s heart sank.
“Thank you, CEO Shen. Please keep it a secret for the time being.” After hanging up the phone, Chen Yun immediately drove to the manor.
Uncle Wang, who was watering the plants leisurely, dropped the kettle when he heard this news.
Uncle Wang was extremely anxious. He knew that Jun Shiling’s matters in Continent F were very important, but thinking that Xia Wanyuan’s life was still unknown, Uncle Wang decided to call Jun Shiling immediately.
In the command center two thousand meters below Continent F, there was only a dedicated signal passage.
In the huge meeting room, there were nearly a thousand people sitting. Jun Shiling sat on the stage and listened to the reports one by one. In the 3D screen, infrared lights flashed.
“I’ll increase Lie Dun’s military budget by another two billion.” After looking at the display on the screen, Jun Shiling gave the order. “Poison Scorpion 1 has once appeared in the slums in the north of Lie Dun. According to Old K’s habits, he will choose a city in the south as the first explosive point.”
Jun Shiling was about to continue when Bo Xiao suddenly rushed up the stage and said something to Jun Shiling.
Then, everyone saw that the usually decisive and ruthless Zeus was actually clearly flustered, scaring everyone.
How scary was that thing that could make this person panic?!
