Chapter 2782 - 2775: Unexpected

"Captain, we want to take a look. Just what’s going on here, why the neck grabbing? Do they know each other??" The warriors gathered together in gossip.

These days have been so tough, and amidst long-term grief, finally, there’s something new happening, so everyone gossips a bit to lighten the mood.

"In my view... it looks like they know each other. This should be a love-hate relationship!" The captain got caught up in the warriors’ chatter and joined in the excitement.

"The captain is right."

"The captain has a unique insight."

"A leader is indeed a leader! Let’s clap and welcome!"

A group of warriors immediately clapped in welcome, the applause sounding quite loud and clear.

"A bunch of people just know how to butter up..." The captain hadn’t finished his sentence when suddenly a warrior fiercely grabbed his arm, almost pulling him off balance.

"What’s wrong with you..." The captain shouted, "You brat almost took my arm off!"

"Dizzy! I just felt dizzy for a moment!"

"It’s not your dizziness! It’s an earthquake! It’s an earthquake!" someone shouted.

"Disperse! Everyone quickly disperse!" The captain shouted loudly, turning around and spotting two people still stuck under the tree. He reminded, "Chenyang! Run, it’s an earthquake!"

Under the tree, Ning Chenyang, noticing the earth shaking, immediately said to Luo Tong: "Let go, it’s an earthquake!"

The sudden trembling of the earth startled Luo Tong.

Immediately, the captain’s shout came through.

"It’s an earthquake! It’s an earthquake!" Luo Tong anxiously let go, her eyes on Ning Chenyang, and her tone changed, "What kind of luck do I have... Every time I meet you, I get unlucky! We’re in an earthquake now..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Run quick!"

The earth wasn’t shaking violently, but it was still difficult to maintain balance.

Luo Tong was still wearing high heels, and as soon as she took a step, her foot twisted, and the narrow heel got stuck in the gap between two stones.

She lost her balance, her whole body tumbling forward.

Hearing a scream from behind, Ning Chenyang stopped and turned around, seeing Luo Tong lying on the ground, the crooked tree behind her wobbling, with any chance of falling.

"Chenyang, my foot is stuck." Luo Tong sat up from the ground, her hands gripped her leg, trying hard to pull the heel out.

"Take off the shoes!" Ning Chenyang, seeing her chaotic attempt, shouted and rushed over to help.

He lowered his head, pulling hard on the sandal straps amidst the shaking.

Just as he tore off the straps, a cracking sound was heard, the tree that had been uprooted during the last earthquake shattered its exposed roots.

The whole tree, carried by the wind, quickly crashed down to the ground.

Seeing the situation go wrong, Ning Chenyang quickly pushed the staggering Luo Tong away from the tree’s dangerous area.

Luo Tong rolled over the ground, leaving the danger zone under the tree.

But Ning Chenyang, caught in the shaking, couldn’t dodge in time, felt a dull pain, and his vision went black as he lost consciousness.

Darkness... Endless darkness...

When Ning Chenyang caught sight of the light, all he could hear were his companions’ anxious calls and a woman’s heart-wrenching cries.

.........

Drip... drip...

The liquid from the infusion bottle trickled drop by drop through the transparent tube into Ning Chenyang’s veins.
