I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1079 Black Vortex
The dust gradually obscured the view, visibility became lower and lower, the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if a rainstorm was about to fall.

But Mo Ling knew that the rain would never fall.

The air was very dry, with flying sand and rocks on the trail. The dust that came from nowhere hit Mo Ling. He had only walked for a short while when his clothes were covered with dust.

There is not much water vapor, as if all the moisture in the air has been sucked away by the "black hole" behind.

Mo Ling licked his lips, took out some water from his bag and took a sip.

He had been walking along the riverside trail for a long time, but the loud noise showed no signs of abating, and the vibration seemed to be getting more intense.

This is not a good sign and indicates that the disaster is "intensifying."

What happened before should only be the beginning, and more terrible things are yet to come...

Mo Ling is facing a choice at this time:
He has now arrived at the famous "Jingshan Park" in the city, and the riverside trail winds its way up the mountain.

Keep going forward and you will reach Jingshan Mountain.

He could also continue walking along the river, but at this time the river happened to turn and became north-south. Although he could get farther and farther away from the direction of the loud noise, he would still take a lot of detours.

If he walked away from the river and onto the main road, Mo Ling would be worried about the crowds, so he could only choose to climb Jingshan Mountain or continue walking along the riverside trail.

Since it can be called a "park", it is not a rugged mountain.

Jingshan was originally a big mound of earth. It is said that there was a big rock underneath. Before the city was built, local people were buried here after their death. There were many tombstones on it. Later, the city was planned here. Seeing that Jingshan was beautiful and had lush vegetation, the living people occupied the land of the dead and turned it into a park.

Mo Ling took a deep breath and decided to climb Jingshan Mountain.

Jingshan is not high, and because of artificial development and periodic maintenance, the road on it is not bad. Even if you go up and down, it will not waste much time.

"Let's do this for now, don't hesitate..."

While thinking, Mo Ling ran up the mountain and stepped on the stone steps.

Not long after he started walking, he felt the difference between the mountains and the plains.

"The vibrations here seem to be a little weaker."

Perhaps the structure of the mountain slowed down the spread of shock waves. The big rock under Jingshan played a role, and there was much less dust in the air. The surrounding trees swayed in the wind, blocking a lot of flying sand.

Mo Ling's steps gradually became lighter. He looked around and found that there was no one here.

This is normal. After all, apart from him, no one else would come to "climb up" at this time.

Soon, Mo Ling reached the mountainside. The terrain here was much flatter and the view was much wider. Mo Ling looked back and found that the city at the foot of the mountain was shrouded in black wind and was barely visible.

Countless black clouds were gathering towards the location of the loud noise. The center area was pitch black, like a whirlpool, constantly swallowing up everything around it.

Mo Ling observed carefully for a while and suddenly discovered something terrible. Several iconic buildings in the center... were gone.

In the past, no matter how bad the weather was, those buildings could be vaguely seen. Even in foggy weather, the flashing lights on the top of the buildings would always remind airplanes and people in the distance: they are there.

But now, the outline is gone, and the light is gone.

With this level of visibility, they are not completely invisible.

Mo Ling stared at it for a while, making sure that he was not mistaken. Those buildings had indeed disappeared...

"Were they knocked down by the earthquake?" The earthquake resistance level of these buildings is generally higher than that of normal residential buildings, and even if they were knocked down by the earthquake, some ruins would be left behind.

But now it seems that the original locations of those buildings are empty.

It doesn't look like it fell over, but rather like it was "eaten".

The area covered by the black vortex was "eating" everything in the city, and as the clouds gathered, the vortex was slowly growing and continuing to spread outward.

Looking at the dark center, Mo Ling felt a chill in his heart again.

"Is there anyone else who hasn't escaped?"

People like him who quickly ran away after receiving the evacuation notice only accounted for a small number of people, and many people did not take it so seriously.

"What kind of horrible disaster could possibly happen in a modern metropolis?"

Many people think this way and are taking a wait-and-see attitude. Even if they choose to evacuate, they don’t take it too seriously.

It was not until the first loud noise was heard that people began to realize the seriousness of the problem. Only then did they start to flee "seriously". It was also at this time that panic began to spread.

Not to mention, some people did not receive any notice at all, and there are also some elderly, weak, sick and disabled people with limited mobility. Even if they knew they had to evacuate, they would not be able to leave where they originally lived.

They might still be struggling in that dark vortex, waiting for rescue, or they might have already...

Mo Ling didn't dare to think further, and his heart became heavier.

"In the end what happened?"

He clenched his fists, turned around with difficulty, and continued running up the mountain.

The trees in the mountains were shaking, and the steps leading to the mountain were covered with cracks, but they were made of bricks. Even if their relative positions changed, they could still be forced together, and Mo Ling's progress was not affected.

He took every step very carefully, afraid of stepping on loose bricks, but his speed did not slow down at all. After a while, Mo Ling finally saw the pavilion on the top of the mountain.

The pavilion is called "Jingxin Pavilion". It is usually a good place for citizens to rest. People like to overlook the beautiful scenery of the city from here. The view here is good and it is cool, and there is often no seat available.

But now, it seems deserted.

Mo Ling stepped into the meditation pavilion, but Ke Xin didn't feel calm at all.

He turned his head again and looked at the huge vortex looming above the city.

The center of the vortex was like a funnel. The terrifying tornado completely swallowed up the sunlight. The buildings that originally looked tall appeared incomparably small under the tornado vortex. When the edge of darkness gradually covered those buildings, the outlines of the buildings gradually became blurred, as if they were being erased bit by bit by an invisible force until they disappeared completely.

"Boom!"

It seemed like the sound of a building collapsing, but it also seemed like more than just a building...

Mo Ling focused his eyes and looked carefully at the edge of the vortex.

Now that he was at the top of Jingshan Mountain, he could finally see the truth of the disaster...

At the edge of the vortex, there seemed to be deep cracks spreading on the ground, as if the sharp claws of some creature stretched out from the darkness, grabbed the earth, and then pulled it off with force.

The fragments of the earth fell with a loud bang, collapsing into the endless darkness, and along with the twisting tornado, they fell deep into the ground...
