Sang Luoluo had no choice but to land; her Mental Power was not inexhaustible.
Sang Luoluo asked, "Where do we go now? To an open space for refuge?"
Qi Feng said, "The laboratory should be the first to react to any movement at the base. The situation is urgent, and the laboratory will likely need your help as well."
Sang Luoluo remembered that during the last disaster, Dr. Wang had asked her to store many specimens.
At this point, there was no time to think about anything else, "Okay, let's go to the lab."
It's obvious that Dr. Wang will need her help.
They huddled together and hurried toward the laboratory. The earthquake was so violent that the ground began to undulate violently, and the group stumbled and fell, unable to control their bodies in time.
Sang Luoluo felt better only after she had her ear suspended half a meter in the air.
The buildings that were in sight collapsed with a roar, instantly turning into ruins.
Sang Luoluo felt a deep fear emanating from her heart. The earthquake reports she had seen on TV before she transmigrated were nothing compared to this; the current situation was far more terrifying than what was reported on television.
Cracks began to appear in the ground, extending in different directions, and some rubble fell directly into the cracks without any warning.
Qi Feng pulled the others up, and they continued forward; it was no longer safe here.
Lei Qi was terrified. "My God, is our base going to be destroyed?"
He Fei: "What's the use of saying all this now? The base itself is in dire straits. Let's find a safer place to settle down first. The lab is just ahead. Look, a corner of the lab has collapsed."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo looked in the direction he described. Sure enough, just as He Fei had said, part of the laboratory had collapsed, and the remaining part was in no better condition, with cracks all over the walls. She remembered that after the last disaster, the base rebuilt the laboratory according to earthquake simulation standards, so how could it have collapsed?
Looking in that direction, Sang Luoluo felt uneasy; she wondered if Dr. Wang was still inside.
Sang Luoluo quickened her pace. "Come on, let's go take a look."
Upon arriving at the laboratory, a few figures could be vaguely seen running out. The base's rescue personnel had not yet arrived and were probably still on their way.
With no signal in her contacts, Sang Luoluo tried contacting Dr. Wang and Assistant Jian via private messages on the Farm App, but after two minutes, there was no response.
Sang Luoluo looked at everyone and said, "How about we go in and rescue them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently, and the other half of the laboratory began to collapse. The entire laboratory was completely out of control and turned into ruins. A huge crack appeared in the ground, splitting the entire laboratory in two, which was quite terrifying.
Sang Luoluo never expected the earthquake to suddenly become so violent again.
Sang Yunpu said, "How do we get in? Luoluo, don't take any risks."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "I know. I'll fly up and move the debris aside to see if I can rescue them."
He glanced back and said, "You guys stay far away. Don't get hurt by the falling rocks."
Qi Feng also wanted to go with them, but he couldn't fly like Sang Luoluo and was agile enough that he might not be able to get out even if he was inside.
But they couldn't be completely useless, so they turned to He Fei and Lei Qi and said, "You two go over there and see if there are any survivors in the lab. Tell Sang Luoluo that she can rescue them."
Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to fly into the air and stood in the middle of the crack. Part of the laboratory had sunk underground, and the building was cracked. She estimated the location of Dr. Wang and Assistant Jian's office and used her Mental Power to clear away the rubble. Some of the heavier pieces she pulled into her spatial dimension and then moved them to other places to drop them off.
In a short time, she managed to find a few survivors, though most of them were already dead.
" Sang Luoluo, Assistant Jian is in front of you on your left." He Fei, with his sharpest eyes, immediately called out loudly.
Sang Luoluo looked over and immediately spotted Assistant Jian's location. Her senses spread out and she naturally discovered Dr. Wang was not far from her.
But... Dr. Wang had already stopped breathing, his heart had stopped beating, and he was crushed under the rubble.
Sang Luoluo could only pull Assistant Jian out of the pile of rocks, and then pull Dr. Wang's body out.
Jian Cheng, her face streaked with tears, was deeply grateful to Sang Luoluo for rescuing her. However, Dr. Wang was already gone. She said, "Thank you for saving me. The earthquake came so suddenly. The lab had predicted it, but before anyone could escape, this happened."
Seeing the blood dripping from his waist down, Sang Luoluo said, "Don't speak yet. Let me get you and Dr. Wang out first, then we'll see if the others can be saved."
Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to move Assistant Jian and Dr. Wang's bodies to a safe area, where they would reunite with Sang Yunpu.
Then it flew back into the air, spreading its senses to see if there were any living people within a 300-meter radius.
After scanning the area, it was found that most people had already lost their lives, and there were not many survivors left.
Two people were found trapped in a crevice. Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to carefully move the rubble above them and slowly dug them out. But then she heard a rumbling sound, the ground cracked again, and the remaining laboratory slid down and fell underground.
Sang Luoluo only had time to use her Mental Power to pull out the last two people she found, suspending them in mid-air and placing them on the ground.
The ground cracked, closed, and undulated rapidly. Sang Luoluo felt a chill run down her spine as she watched.
Looking back at Sang Yunpu and the others, they were thrown to the ground by the violent shaking.
I dare not move around freely.
The two were in relatively good condition; they were hiding in a blind spot, able to move and get around. Sang Luoluo said, "This is all I can do for you two. I have family to take care of."
As for the destroyed laboratory, there was nothing she could do.
Thank you, thank you so much.
"Thank you. Um, can we walk with you?"
Sang Luoluo didn't reply to them. They had many secrets, and it wasn't convenient to bring so many people. She had just realized that she couldn't neglect her family and friends in order to save people. This earthquake was too abnormal, so she quickly returned to Sang Yunpu's side.
Sang Yunpu: "This is terrifying."
The base was reduced to ruins in a short time. The tall buildings and various other structures in the distance had all collapsed, some of them swallowed by the earth.
Qi Feng said, "It's not safe here. Let's leave. I know a place that might still be safe. The base has special shelters there, and the building materials are special. We can go there and take a look."
Assistant Jian said, "Please take me with you. I can't get there by myself."
Lei Qi glanced at Sang Luoluo's reaction, then bent down and carried her on his back.
Assistant Jian followed them and continued, "This time... the base might really be finished."
"Rescue is too late. We don't know how many people are still alive in the base. The underground city is destroyed too."
Sang Luoluo to look at him. "What about post-disaster reconstruction? Once the earthquake is over, it's still possible..."
Assistant Jian immediately interrupted her, "No, it's impossible. Leaving aside the number of survivors, the base's existing supplies are scattered in warehouses, some possibly buried underground. The shelters have ample supplies, but there aren't many survivors left. And then there's the meteor shower. The base originally planned to issue a forecast two days in advance, but who knew the earthquake would come so quickly?"
"That day, Dr. Wang received your reminder about the abnormal mutated animals, and he had already ordered sufficient supplies to be prepared and distributed throughout the base. He just didn't expect the disaster to strike so quickly. There are still mutated animals active in the base now, and the situation is really bad."
Sang Luoluo silent; the situation was truly dire.
"So what do we do next?"
Qi Feng interjected at the opportune moment, his deep voice carrying a hint of resignation. "Try to survive. Base 71, it seems, will cease to exist, just like those other destroyed bases."
Chapter 202 Shelter "Let's go to the base shelter first."...
"Let's go to the base shelter first."
Aftershocks continued, and the shelter was located in the city, far from the laboratory. They had to walk the entire way there, as there was nowhere to park their car.
Several major earthquakes struck in succession, turning the original ruins into wasteland in an instant, and the former glory of the base could no longer be seen.
Everyone looked rather somber. They had only enjoyed a few good days, and now their houses were gone.
After hiking for most of the day, they finally arrived at the shelter in the evening.
A few living figures could be vaguely seen on the road. In the entire base, after the disaster, there were very few survivors; they were all buried under the rubble.
Seeing that the shelter in front of him was still relatively intact, Sang Yunpu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the shelter is relatively intact."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't know where to stay."
Sang Luoluo said, "Let's go take a look first."
Qi Xue worried about their future. "The base is already like this, where will we go? We can't stay in the shelter forever."
Lei Qi didn't care; he'd live one day at a time. Anyway, he was with Boss Sang and the boss, and everyone was capable. No one would control them, and if they worked hard, they wouldn't starve. He said, "Wherever Boss Sang and the boss go, I'll go. We have weapons and strength, so I'm not worried."
Although He Fei didn't speak, he tacitly agreed with Lei Qi's statement.
Needless to say, Xiao Li has been eating and drinking well these days, living like he's in a dream.
