Chapter 194 Rescue Operation

Hearing the screams of the crowd, Li Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel that her luck was really bad. She had just experienced a hurricane and finally came out for a trip, but she encountered an earthquake. Looking at the strength of the earthquake, it felt like it was not just an ordinary small earthquake. She was more scared than encountering a hurricane. She knew that a hurricane might not harm lives, but a big earthquake was different. In front of an earthquake, human life is so fragile, and she didn't want to test it with her own life.

She told herself that she must be strong. She wanted to get up from the ground, but the shaking was too strong. Although they were in the open space in front of the parking lot, they could still feel the ground shaking violently. This fear was not something that Li Zhenzhen could eliminate just by wanting to. The instinctive fear of nature made her weak. She tried to get up several times but failed.

Fortunately, the bodyguards were well-trained. When they encountered such an emergency, they could calm down as quickly as possible. Zhou Ran had practiced kung fu and reacted faster than ordinary people. He quickly lifted Li Zhenzhen up, looked around quickly, and said anxiously: "Hurry up and find an empty place to contact the plane immediately, hurry!"

There was a lawn next to the parking lot. The bodyguards escorted Zhou Ran and Li Zhenzhen here. They used the walkie-talkie to contact the plane immediately, but they didn't know if it was because of the earthquake. Their walkie-talkie was out of service. It only made a rustling sound and they couldn't hear the other party's response at all. The leading bodyguard was more experienced. He took out a signal-bomb from his pocket and released it into the sky. Immediately, a purple firework that lasted for a long time was formed in the sky. Even on the plane, it should be visible. They could only pray from the bottom of their hearts.

The lawn was soon crowded with people from the town, including local white people and tourists. In the face of such a disaster, they didn't care about their image. Some people even ran out in bathrobes or pajamas. Li Zhenzhen even saw a young couple wrapped in sheets, but she couldn't laugh.

These people were still young people who ran faster. There were few elderly people and children. Even so, some people had wounds on their bodies and were bleeding, which was particularly scary.

The earthquake just now was just a sign. Then, the tremors became stronger and stronger from deep underground. The edge of the lawn where Li Zhenzhen and the others were staying was cracked by the tremors. The crowd screamed one after another. Their screams were so sharp, but the screams from far away were even more deafening.

This scene seemed to be copied from hell. The crowd witnessed with their own eyes that the houses in the town were constantly squeezed and deformed by the earthquake. Some houses collapsed directly, raising clouds of gray dust. They didn't dare to think about what happened to the owners of the houses. They could only kneel on the ground, cover their mouths and cry bitterly.

The tremor was so strong that even if they wanted to rush out to save people, they didn't have the strength to take a step. A thin person like Li Zhenzhen had to squat on the ground and dig into the grass to ensure that he would not be thrown out. The bodyguards were not much better. They could only bend their waists and do horse stance to barely keep their composure.

"Ah!" The crowd in front suddenly shouted, followed by a huge boom from the front. Li Zhenzhen looked over in horror and found that it was a mountain in the distance that collapsed, as if someone suddenly dumped a truckload of yellow soil from the sky. The sky was full of dust and rolled in from a distance. In an instant, everyone on the lawn was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Many people couldn't stand it and coughed there. Only Li Zhenzhen was better after Zhou Ran covered her head and face with clothes. However, Zhou Ran himself was also covered with dust. He was afraid that the dust would enter his trachea, so he didn't dare to breathe hard. The atmosphere on the scene was depressing. Everyone's heart was shrouded in a terrible shadow. Some people even cried out loud, thinking that they had encountered the end of the world.
