110, aftershocks
110, aftershock
The idiot carried apricots on his back and carefully slid down the steep mountain wall. The mountain wall after the earthquake was very soft and would slide almost every step, making it almost impossible to make it.
It was finally difficult to finally reach the foot of the mountain. The scene in front of me was speechless.
The towering city walls collapsed, and the gorgeous buildings inside were all turned into ruins without exception. The streets were buried in gravel. The Cathedral of Our Lady, located in the center of the Iron City, is now extremely damaged. The towering cross has been drooping. The solemnity and glory of the past were broken into ugly glass and destroyed candlesticks at this moment.
"Auntie, what did you see?"
Hu Tao followed the idiot, her eyes crossing the people walking in the ruins. Everyone was covered in dust, their faces and bodies were covered in wounds. Some people even had blood on their bodies, lying in the ruins.
However, they were lucky.
Because among the broken bricks and tiles, a rotten arm was dug out by a rescue team composed by the people here. Under the deep gravel and soil, there were corpses after damaging them that could not even be heard.
Hu Tao did not answer Xing's question. She originally thought she could survive any devastating disaster. But looking at the lonely and helpless people sitting by the ruins in a daze, looking at the corpses constantly being dug out of the ruins and the stench of corpses that were permeated in the air, she could no longer say anything.
When he stepped into the city, the eyes of the people around him raised, glanced at the idiot, and lowered his head again.
"In this case, a person's strength is useless at all."
The idiot swept through the tragic situation in front of him and said slowly.
Xing behind her hugged the idiot's neck tighter. Although Hu Tao was unwilling to admit it, she couldn't help but nod and walked up.
"I originally thought...we can be helpful...but with such a big disaster, we can't do anything... Such a big city, so many people... How can we just be idiots..."
Xiao Bao pulled the idiot's clothes, hid behind her, and looked at the surrounding environment. When she saw a little girl of six or seven who had obviously not eaten for several days squatting there with a pale face and thin skin, she thought about it and immediately took off her backpack and took out the dry food. When Hu Tao saw it, she immediately understood. Anyway, she didn't like eating her own food. So the two looked at each other and smiled and walked up immediately.
The idiot was observing the situation around him. When he noticed, the two people had already walked over there. The bread had already handed out the dry food in his hand...
"No! Take it back!"
The idiot suddenly shouted loudly, stepped forward, and took back the food from Hu Tao. Unfortunately, the food in the bread was handed to the child...
"What are you nervous? You are not eating your food, why can't you feel a little sympathy?"
Hu Tao pulled the wrist that was caught by the idiot hard, but the scene that appeared in front of her in the next moment made her stunned for a moment.
“Eat?”
“Eat!”
“There is something to eat!”
"Give me some food!"
"I'm so hungry, give me some food!"
"Thank you to me, I haven't eaten anything in seven days!"
"Give me some food!!!"
The moment the child grabbed the dry food and chewed it hard, many victims emerged from nowhere like ghosts. They stared at their yellow eyes, stretched out their skinny fingers, and rushed over from all directions. Their faces showed hunger and beastly nature. They were walking at first, but as some of the refugees behind began to run, the refugees in front also rushed over!
Seeing this scene, Xiaobread was frightened. She quickly took out all the food from her backpack and sprinkled it on the heads of those people. A small number of the victims immediately reached out to grab the dry food, but more victims were still rushing to the idiots, and the beastly nature in her eyes was enough to make people feel scared!
Hu Tao was also scared. In amazement, her backpack was caught by a victim. She tilted her body and pulled all the backpacks away. She watched the victims constantly scramble for her backpack, and even fought for a small piece of bread, and her head was bleeding. After several pieces of bread were so beautiful that the hungry victims once again pointed their eyes at Hu Tao and the small bread and rushed towards them.
"Eat! Give me something!"
Hu Tao was scared, so she quickly protected the bread and shouted in horror: "No more! It's gone! Don't bother us anymore!"
"Lie! Eat, hand over what you eat! Eat! Eat———!!"
The two victims finally rushed in front of them. But before they could reach out to walnut and bread, a sword had already opened a hole in the palm of their hands.
"roll."
Holding the sword that was still stuck with blood, there was no human color in the idiot's pupils. Everyone looked at the sword and the red light flashing on the hilt. After a moment, the victims finally slowly retreated like wild beasts meeting flames.
Hu Tao was still scared and pulled the idiot's clothes and trembled. The idiot slowly put away his sword and looked down at the random bread and walnut. Seeing the idiot's stern gaze, the two girls immediately lowered their heads, not even daring to tell the difference.
"You promised me that you will be away from home and obey my orders in everything."
Hu Tao lowered her head, but she only promised a few days ago, but once she saw someone encounter difficulties, she went to do good things randomly like a conditioned reflex. As a result, she became more and more helpful.
"From now on, I will give you another chance. If you dare not act according to my order, you should act on your own."
Hu Tao was stunned, raised her head, and showed great surprise on her face. After hesitating for a while, she finally gritted her teeth, nodded helplessly, and agreed.
This time, the idiot was satisfied. He continued to carry apricot and walked ahead with his head. The cold winter wind blew, rolling up the corner of his clothes, looking like a demon who had climbed up from hell.
"Hey! Over there! Come on! Someone is being suppressed below! Come and save people quickly!"
Suddenly, a shout came from the other side of the ruins. Hu Tao looked up and saw a large group of people surrounding a large building in front of the idiot's right. Several people dressed in priests were constantly calling. As they shouted, people kept rushing over with shovels.
Hu Tao walked forward and pulled the idiot's clothes. She looked at the shouting and felt a little hesitant.
As for the situation there, the idiot seemed to have not seen it and continued to walk forward. On the other side, many people kept digging, and immediately took the wood to support it after digging a cave.
"Stand it! Don't be nervous, don't worry! We will definitely rescue you! The goddess will protect you!"
A priest got into the pit and shouted at the person who was pressed inside. The person inside was crying and stretched his hands out. The priest smiled, immediately folded his body, and shouted outside--
"Although still alive! Get the water..."
Boom.
The rest of the words were not yet available.
The wooden stake that was supported broke in an instant, and the bricks and tiles above poured down in an instant, pressing the priest down tightly.
The scene in front of them made everyone around them stunned. They opened their mouths, but before they could finish surprise, a trembling tremble came from the soles of their feet—
boom----
The earth shook.
The people around there felt the shaking around, shouted, and immediately fled to all sides. The idiot squatted down first, and the walnut and small bread behind him immediately did as they did, not daring to hesitate.
"Wait! Wait a minute! Don't leave! Come, come and help!"
Suddenly, a shout came from the ruins. The idiot raised his head and saw a priest about 35 or thirty-six years old still standing beside the ruins. His hands desperately blocked a piece of cement board that was about to fall, and his feet were shaking. The blue veins had burst out of his hands, and the sweat on his forehead fell like raindrops. Below the cement board was the rubble that the priest had just been crushed.
The aftershocks continued, and the houses around that could barely stand were once again devastatingly falling. As the vibration stopped, there was a rumbling sound of collapse around them. It sounded like thunder rolling in the sky, scaring people around them to flee. Not to mention going to save people, even some priests who were standing there were now covering their heads and fleeing to the open space as if they were flying.
"Come on...people! I'm...I'm going to support...I can't hold on anymore..."
The middle-aged priest turned around and pressed his back against the cement board. His gaze swept around in despair. Soon, his eyes gathered on the head of the idiot who was closest to him.
"You...help me...! Hurry up... Now... he still has rescued..."
The priest's voice was almost begging, and the heavier and heavier stones pressed him down to his knees. But the idiot didn't even look at all this. He stood up and walked calmly past the priest who was struggling on the brink of death.
Looking at the idiot's figure, the priest was truly desperate. His knees were pressed against the rubble. Now, he was almost like a human pillar, barely pressing. However, as his waist got lower and lower, he probably didn't have much time left.
"Come...come...good goddess...will you have mercy on my dirty soul...!!!"
Boom-
The stone slab collapsed and pressed down on the priest who could no longer support it...
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The priest had closed his eyes and was waiting for the arrival of death. But what he never expected was that he was not dead yet?
He opened his eyes and looked at his hands. After a moment, he turned around and looked at the stone slab behind him. He saw a girl who was replacing him and becoming the pillar in the stone slab.
"Woo--!!!!"
Hu Tao gritted her teeth and pushed the stone slab behind her. But her power was too small to prevent the huge stone slab from being pressed down. She also knelt on the rubble, and used her thin shoulders to shoulder the last support beam, staring at the idiot with her eyes.
(If you want to drive me away... I will leave!)
The huge weight made Hu Tao breathless. She couldn't speak, and once she spoke, she would be crushed behind her.
(But I still can't stand it...I can't stand your indifference!)
Wu Tao began to cough, and with every cough she made the stone behind her press down a little. Her hands were supported on the ground, and she used all her body's strength to bear the weight.
(If... let, stay by your side and leave by your side can only make one choice... I still... I still can't stand by death and refuse to save you!)
(You idiot... I'm... but the princess...! You are a dead knight... don't think about... order me!)
Hu Tao gritted her teeth and had made up her mind. She gave up. Even after this action, she had to bear the consequences of immediately blowing the wind and sand, and she would never meet an idiot again from now on, and she would not regret it! No, because of anything else, because even though she had been abandoned by light, she had not abandoned light yet!
"Come on! Save people!"
Hu Tao no longer looked at the idiot, and plucked out his last strength and shouted out loud. After seeing this, the priest turned around immediately and used his back to bear the weight. But the people around him had already run away, so where was there anyone else? The two of them closed their eyes and could only use the last strength to support them. They could hold on until when they could.
Hearing Hu Tao's scream, Xing behind the idiot became nervous. She kept shaking her head, stretched out her hand to grop, and shouted: "Aunt, aunt?! What's wrong? What's wrong? Uncle, what's wrong? Aunt... what's wrong? Aunt... what's wrong...!"
The idiot didn't answer. He just looked at Hu Tao who was looking for trouble over there with no time and slowly turned around.
He had already stated that when he went out for a trip, Hu Tao would obey his own instructions. But now, she violated her orders one after another. This kind of person who always likes to cause trouble, even if he dies, he is purely asking for his own self-inflicted. So...
"Come here———————!!!"
Slate, press down.
The moment when the two were about to press the two into meat sauce, a powerful hand appeared in time and pushed it up. Hu Tao gasped and raised her head. With the moonlight, she saw the idiot's eyes that were richer than the night color, as well as the small bread, the small hand that stretched out in time...
"Ah woo woo!"
Xiaobian reached out and touched Wu Tao's face, then immediately closed his palms and slapped it down. In an instant, a road map appeared, and a dirt pillar quickly stretched out from the ruins to support the stone slab. But the slab was too big, and Xiaobian didn't dare to extract too much land, so as not to press the two people buried under the ruins to deeper underground. So just the moment I just held it, the dirt pillar cracked.
Chapter completed!
