Chapter 71: Who Would Care About Others?

The director’s voice stopped abruptly.
The next second, the drone fell to the ground without warning.
Song Qingyou went up to check. “The connection broke. There must be a problem with the signal.”
“We have to be ready to leave this place at any time.”
Jiang Xuyan and the other two had no objections.
The sky darkened again; it was much darker than before.
Thunder rumbled across the island.
The surrounding trees seemed to be dancing in a frenzy.
The rain outside was so dense that it blocked their line of sight.
The bamboo house without concrete and steel reinforcement began to sway in the wind and rain.
Will limped to the door as if he was waiting for his master to return.
Song Qingyou was paying close attention to the surroundings.
After a while, they heard Shen Xiyan and the others shouting.
“It’s just ahead! Let’s go!”
Zhao Yingnan dragged Shen and Li toward the bamboo house.
They were drenched, their clothes sticking to their skin, and their hair was covered with dirt and leaves. They were in a sorry state.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently.
“Earthquake!”
Song Qingyou picked up Jiang Zhihan and ran out of the house with the dog leash.
She didn’t take a single thing that she had packed.
Jiang Xuyan and Yu Muhuai followed suit.
Fortunately, the tremors were not very strong, and the few of them could still catch their breath in an open space.
Jiang Xuyan wiped the rain off his mouth and asked loudly, “Should we run to higher ground?”
Yu Muhuai disagreed. “There are so many trees and rocks here. It’s dangerous to run in high places.”
He brushed his hair back, and his originally gentle eyes now looked a little fierce.
Song Qingyou’s gaze was fixed on the sea not far away.
“No, we have to go up the mountain.”
The two of them looked over.
Song Qingyou’s tone was very serious. “An earthquake might cause a tsunami, so we can only go to higher ground.”
The entire island was like a mountain.
The highest point of the island was located in the middle of the island, away from the coast.
Right now, they could only take it one step at a time.
Before Jiang Xuyan left, he specially reminded Zhao Yingnan and the others who were behind, “We have to go up the mountain! Hurry up and follow me!”
The three of them walked straight ahead, not caring if they could hear them or not.
In the face of a natural disaster, one could only pray for their own good.
Song Qingyou led Will and walked at the front, facing the wind and rain from time to time to check what was going on ahead.
Once trees or boulders rolled down, they had to avoid them immediately.
She looked very calm on the surface, but in fact, she was not.
Jiang Zhihan, who was quietly in her arms, could clearly hear Song Qingyou’s increasingly rapid heartbeat.
Was she nervous? Or was she afraid?
Jiang Zhihan was confused. A person who dared to kill snakes with her bare hands and fight with armed criminals with her bare hands was bold. How could she be nervous and afraid?
He looked up at Song Qingyou’s tensed face and subconsciously reached out to put his hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
‘Don’t worry, it 11 be fine:
Jiang Zhihan really wanted to say that.
But even if he could speak, now was not the time to disturb Song Qingyou. All he could do was stay still.
After an unknown period of time, Zhao Yingnan and the other two finally appeared in their line of sight.
“Qingyou! Teacher Jiang! Yu Muhuai!”
Zhao Yingnan had been dragged by Shen Xiyan for a long time.
Now that they saw Song Qingyou and the others, they were all excited.
Just as Jiang Xuyan was about to turn around and respond, the sound of the bamboo house collapsing came into everyone’s ears.
“Qingyou’s house collapsed too?” Zhao Yingnan was surprised.
“My suitcase-”
At this time, Shen Xiyan was still thinking about her suitcase.
However, before she could finish her words, another loud bang sounded.
They were stunned.
“Is this also the sound of the house collapsing?” Jiang Xuyan hesitated.
“No.” Song Qingyou immediately sped up.
“Tsunami!” Yu Muhuai spat out.
Even before they could react, Yu Muhuai and Jiang Xuyan followed their instincts and followed Song Qingyou closely.
Zhao Yingnan noticed that something was wrong and desperately wanted to run up the mountain.
Li Su soon overtook her and ran ahead.
The sound of the waves behind him grew louder and louder.
However, Shen Xiyan slipped at this critical moment.
Zhao Yingnan wanted to shake off her hand, but she was held tightly.
Rumble!
A loud voice came from behind.
Shen Xiyan stood up in a panic.
Seeing that the rushing water under her feet, she suddenly let go of Zhao Yingnan’s arm. Then, she used all four limbs, stepped on Zhao Yingnan’s feet and shoulders, climbed up the slope, and ran far away without looking back!
“Shen Xiyan!”
Zhao Yingnan was furious.
However, when she turned around, the waves that were three to four meters high had already slammed down heavily.
The cry for help stopped abruptly.
She was submerged in the sea.
After a while, she was thrown up by the waves again.
Repeatedly.
It was like a rootless duckweed in the water.
She could only go with the flow.
Humans had always been weak in the face of nature!
The heavy rain gradually stopped, and the visibility increased.
Jiang Xuyan, who had already climbed to a higher place, turned around and saw Zhao Yingnan being thrown up by the waves.
“Zhao Yingnan! She seems to have been swept away by the waves!”
“Where are Li Su and Shen Xiyan?” Yu Muhuai asked as he ran.
“They’re right behind us.”
Jiang Xuyan’s face was cold. “Why didn’t you hold Zhao Yingnan?!”
Li Su didn’t say anything. He only cared about himself and ran away. How could he care about others?
Shen Xiyan didn’t care. “We can’t even take care of ourselves. Who would care about others?”
“Isn’t Zhao Yingnan still fine now? If you care so much about her, hurry up and save her!”
Anyway, there were no cameras now, so Shen Xiyan said whatever she wanted.
As for the fact that she stepped on Zhao Yingnan and ran away, as long as no one saw it, wouldn’t it be equivalent to nothing happening?
The life of the Shen family’s daughter was much more precious than Zhao Yingnan’s!
“You…” Jiang Xuyan was speechless.
Looking at the seawater surging ashore, eroding everything on the shore like a giant beast, he had no way to save Zhao Yingnan. He was anxious and guilty.
Panting, Shen Xiyan raised her head and looked at Song Qingyou, who was running the fastest.
“Isn’t Song Qingyou very powerful? She must be very good at swimming. Just let her save people!”
How could Jiang Xuyan say this? He could only remain silent.
Just when they thought that they were safe after climbing to such a high place, there was another loud bang above their heads!
“Not good, it’s a flash flood!” Song Qingyou’s expression changed.
When it rains, it pours.
Everyone’s tense nerves suddenly snapped!
“Quickly climb up the tree!”
Song Qingyou’s reminder made them quickly come back to their senses and look for the tall trees closest to them.
At this time, there were wolves in front and tigers behind. Everyone had to be prepared to survive in the surging water!
Flash floods and tsunamis were just one of the disasters, but either were enough to destroy everything.
Not to mention, they were facing a double disaster!
Fortunately, the earthquake and the typhoon were not serious, and there was still a tendency for them to stop.
Otherwise, the problems they would have to face would definitely multiply..
