Chapter 788: Earth-Shattering

and cover Ripples's mouth immediately.Liàn Yī and several others gathered before him, loudly shouting:"I told you so, you're going to get payback! Everyone look, they were the ones who started attack...What's going on

Sun Zhou immediately shouted.

Then everyone felt the power coming from underground. They all stood up quickly, but they were all like drunkards, swaying and unable to keep their balance.

The whirlwind had already jumped onto the ripples' shoulders, clinging tightly to them, its fur bristling once again.

"Meow!" Master cat, what's going on

Ripple also desperately tried to steady herself, and then she saw a crack open beneath their feet, and the crack kept widening.

“There’s a crack, everyone back up!”

Sima Yi loudly reminded.

Although they had been warned, because the ground was shaking so violently that they couldn't even take a step, Tang Tianming was the first to fall into the crack, followed closely by Sun Weifeng.

"Good morning!"

"Weifeng!"

Ripples couldn't just stand by and watch their teammate fall. She could only fire the deadly silk wrapped around her wrist, first ensnaring Sun Weifeng who had fallen, and then Tang Tianming, who had gone down first.

Yuan Chongming was afraid that the ripples wouldn't be able to hold both of their weights, and would drag him down as well. He had no choice but to take a leap of faith, jumping to Ripple's side and wrapping his arms around her waist. Then, he slowly pulled her back.

The earthquake is still ongoing, with stones and debris constantly falling into the cracks. Several others have already fallen to the ground due to their unsteady footing, their faces pale with fear as they pray that the earth will stop its fury.

From the cracks, the cries of the two people came intermittently.

"You two, watch your heads."

The ripples don't care if the two people can hear them, anyway she tried her best.

After a long two minutes, the earthquake finally slowly subsided, seeming quite satisfied with its devastation of the earth. There were almost no aftershocks.

Liàn Yī was embraced by Yuán Chóng Míng, collapsing onto the ground and gasping for breath, her hands trembling.

"Meow," my lord cat, are you still alive

The roar of the whirlwind finally snapped Yuan Chongming out of his daze. He immediately released his hand from Lian's waist and nervously asked:

How are the two of them

"I don't know, let's pull it up and see."

After confirming that there would be no more earthquakes, the ripples pulled the lifeline with all their might, easily dragging the two people up. Both were breathing, but only temporarily unconscious.

Tang Tianming was quite unlucky. He got hit on the head by something, his face covered in blood, looking terrifying. Sun Weifeng seemed fine on the surface, but it's unknown if he had any internal injuries.

"What can I do"

Chu Hong is wrapping gauze around Tang Tianming's head. They applied for a first-aid kit when they went on the mission.

"Get them in the car first, then we hurry back as fast as we can. We don't know what the situation is at the base."

Yuan Chongming's brow furrowed with worry. He was concerned about his nephew, afraid something might happen to him. He really couldn't bear to explain to his late sister and brother-in-law. He also didn't know the severity of his two comrades' injuries and needed to go back to treat them.

"Let's all work together."

Everyone helped Tang Tianming onto Sun Zhou's back, while Sun Weifeng was carried by Li Jian. The group trudged toward where they had parked the van earlier, but when they arrived, there was no sign of it. The earthquake had cracked open a large chasm in that spot, and the van had simply fallen into it, beyond reach.

"Well, we can only rely on the Eleventh Route now. With two wounded companions, everyone had to take turns carrying them back. Cyclone acted as our little guide, running ahead."

The whirlwind is very clever and always finds a place to land, leading everyone safely towards the direction of Qimu City.

Because of the uncertainty of this mission, the Vanguard squad carried ten days' worth of rations when they left. Since they were going up Mount Shen, there were no supplies in the mountains and no one to guard them, so everything they ate and drank was carried with them. This effectively minimized their losses.

During the earthquake, only Tang Tianming and Sun Weifeng fell into the fissure with their backpacks. The other people held onto their backpacks tightly. No one went hungry, as they shared what they had with each other.

Both injured men woke up one after the other. Tang Tianming felt dizzy and nauseous, he didn't even dare to turn his head, otherwise, he would definitely feel lightheaded. Even without a doctor, it was clear this was a concussion.

So Tang Tianming just lay honestly, being carried forward, while Sun Weifeng woke up and said that he had hit a large rock in his chest, and his chest hurt badly.

Everyone pushed past Sun Weifeng's clothes and discovered that his chest was bruised purple and bloody, clearly from a hard impact.

Yuan Chongming made the other person lie flat, then touched his ribs, and let out a sigh of relief and said:

"The ribs aren't broken, but there should be a fracture. We don't know about the organs yet, we'll have to check again when I get back."

Hearing that his ribs weren't broken, everyone felt relieved. However, this meant they couldn't carry Sun Weifeng on their backs anymore. So, they found broken branches and improvised a stretcher, carrying the injured man forward.

When they came, there were cars, and the road was easy to walk on, so it took them two days and two nights. The return trip was troublesome, with broken roads and deep ditches everywhere. They could only take detours, but luckily the whirlwind led the way, and the detour wasn't too far.

Ten days later, when their supplies were exhausted, they finally returned to their station.

Looking at the temporary base, split down the middle by a deep fissure, everyone was dumbfounded.

"You guys take the two of them to see a doctor first. Si Tu and I will go find out what's going on, then we'll meet you at the medical tent."

Yuan Chongming wiped the sweat from his face and looked at where they had lived before, now split in two. A look of worry flashed across his face, but he ultimately put on a brave face and fulfilled his duties as captain first.

"Okay."

Everyone parted ways temporarily, and Ripples took Cyclone to take the injured away first.

The medical tent was bustling with people, filled with cries of pain. It was the most crowded place, and doctors and nurses were running around non-stop, their clothes soaked in sweat.

Besides the smell of blood on the wounded, both Ripples and Whirlwind wrinkled their noses. After all, a human and a cat's senses were so acute! Ripples could only say to Zhao Jia and Chu Hong:

"You two stay with the wounded. I'll take the whirlwind and go look for Jia Yao and Mr. and Mrs. Liu first to see if they're still alive."

"Okay, be careful yourself."

Two people nodded. If Jia Yao really disappeared in the earthquake, Yuan Chongming would probably not be able to bear it.

Leaving the medical tent, Ripple touched Whirlwind and secretly gave her baby a small fish jerky. She also found a secluded spot and made Whirlwind a can of meat.

She also secretly gave Cyclone extra meals on the road. She couldn't easily get food for herself, but she couldn't let the little guy go hungry. Since he was helping them find people now, of course they had to treat him well and feed him good things.

After the whirlwind ate its fill and lapped up its paws, it meowed twice at Ripple, signaling that it was ready to begin.

Ripple smiled and nodded, then followed behind the whirlwind, watching it weave through the crowd, apparently sniffing around.

Then the whirlwind walked farther and farther away, and there were basically no people around.

Lian Yi frowned and asked:

"Tornado, are you sure"

"Meow!" Master, you're wrong! Don't forget who I am.

"Continue."

One person and one cat, after seven turns and eight turns, actually walked back to Shanshui Huating Community. being affected by an unknown force, ultimately going mad and dragging its master to self-destruction. The Kenny family could only consider themselves unlucky.After this incident, the Rhodemans didn't...
