Stocking up for the end of the world: Erha took me and my best friend to become well-off

When Bai Tang saw that Yang Qing dared to kill his psychic in front of him, he was about to curse when the ground suddenly shook.

Then the ground beneath their feet began to crack inch by inch, and several people could hardly stand.

"what happened?"

"Is it an earthquake?"

Yang Qing and his companions also felt the sentry post shaking. They were about to run down when they heard a loud "boom" in front of them. The ground at the gate collapsed, forming a huge black hole.

Most of the people from Zeng and Bai's families were caught off guard and fell down.

When Bai Tang fell, he reacted quickly, grabbed the rocks beside him, and then grabbed Zeng Zhu's ankles, with a look of horror on his face, "Zeng Zhu, please help your uncle, please."

"Let go, let go quickly!" Zeng Zhu was so scared that her face turned pale. She struggled hard to break free from Bai Tang's hand, but she was Bai Tang's life-saving straw now, so how could he let go? He held Zeng Zhu's feet tightly.

"Please, pull me up quickly, I will never treat you unfairly!"

"Let go!" Zeng Zhu shouted, and seeing that the ground next to him was still collapsing, he was so anxious that he was sweating.

Two metal spikes appeared in his hands and stabbed into Bai Tang's hands.

"Ah!" Bai Tang screamed, but he still refused to let go, his eyes full of sinisterness, "If you want me to die, you can't live either!"

With a force, Zeng Zhu was also pulled down by him.

The person who fell to the ground looked at the expanding hole in horror and crawled out.

Finally, the ground stopped shaking and the black hole calmed down.

Everyone stared at the hole, on full alert, fearing that something would come out of it.

Yang Qing's heart was in her throat. This scene was very similar to a science fiction movie she had seen before. She felt that a huge alien would jump out of it in the next moment.

After waiting for several minutes, there was still no movement from the black hole.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, someone screamed, "Look!"

Everyone looked into the distance and were all shocked.

There are at least a dozen black holes of varying sizes in the manor. Some of the buildings on top have fallen into the holes without a trace.

Yang Qing took out a telescope and looked towards the city. Unexpectedly, such a black hole appeared in the city. Buildings collapsed in many places, crushing many people to death.

"What on earth is this..." Wang Zhenshan was sweating coldly.

Looking at the door again, except for two or three people from the Zeng and Bai families who ran away, all the others had fallen into the black hole and disappeared no longer.

The head of the Bai family is dead?
The eldest daughter of the Zeng family is also dead?

Wang Zhenshan still found it incredible.

"Let's go down and take a look!" Yang Qing said.

Everyone came down from the sentry post and walked to the black hole at the door.

Because the ground collapsed, the iron gates on the side were deformed. Leng Yi simply melted the iron gates before walking out.

Everyone walked to the black hole and looked down.

I couldn't see anything. It was pitch black like a basin of ink and seemed bottomless.

Wang Hao picked up a stone from the side and threw it down, but he didn't hear any echo for a long time, and he didn't know how deep the hole was.

"What is this?" someone asked.

Yang Qing shook her head. She didn’t know either. She had never encountered this in her previous life. Many things had changed in this life.

"Will a monster come out of there? A catfish monster, or something else?" someone asked. Everyone was silent. It was possible.

Now that there are so many black holes in the city, if a monster runs out, won’t it be dead for sure?
"Go get some gasoline." Yang Qing said.

Monsters are generally afraid of fire. If we use fire, can we prevent them from running out?
"But is such a deep hole useful?" someone questioned.

"We can only try." Yang Qing said.

Wang Zhenshan asked someone to bring two barrels of gasoline. Yang Qing poured the gasoline in, and deliberately poured some on the edge of the cave entrance so that the fire could be seen.

Otherwise, when the gasoline is poured, you may not hear any sound at all.

After the two barrels of gasoline were poured, Leng Yi lit a fire and the cave suddenly caught fire.

Everyone stepped back and watched the cave entrance gradually turn charred black.

When the fire went out and I looked into the cave again, it was still pitch black and I couldn't tell what was inside at all.

"No matter what, let's burn them first, what if they are useful?" Yang Qing said.

Wang Zhenshan nodded and asked his servants to pour gasoline into the dozen or so black holes in the manor and burn them.

Fortunately, some holes are smaller, so burning does not require as much oil.

After all the holes were burned, everyone climbed up to the sentry post and looked down. They saw round, dark pits arranged in random patterns everywhere, which looked very strange no matter how they looked at it.

Everyone returned to the living room and was a little silent. They had no idea what to do about these sudden black holes.

"I suspect there must be monsters, otherwise why would these black holes appear out of nowhere?"

"The reason why the monsters haven't appeared is probably because they haven't had time to come up yet? Those holes are so deep, they also need time."

"Now that there are so many black holes in the city, there must be countless monsters. Can we still escape?"

"Can you think of a solution?"

"Block the black hole?" Yang Qing suggested.

"With so many holes, how can we plug them?" Leng Yi asked, "And some of the holes are so big, almost ten meters in diameter, how can we plug them?"

"I just noticed that there are relatively few big holes, but many small ones. If we use metal mesh to block them, maybe it will work, just like the manhole cover."

"If it's a big monster like a catfish, we can just block it with a net and it won't be able to get out. If it's something small like a red mosquito, we can only make a manhole cover to cover it, otherwise it will come out again."

"Where can we get so much metal?" Wang Xiao asked, "How much metal is needed to make a hole with a diameter of ten meters? How many holes like that are there in the whole city?"

"We can only ensure the safety of the Wang family manor first. We can't take care of other things for the time being." Yang Qing sighed. Of course, the lives of his own people are the most important.

"I'll think of a way." Wang Zhenshan said, "I collected some steel before, maybe it can be used."

"Then what will be used to make steel?" Wang Yijun asked, "Now that all the factories are gone, how can we manpower complete such a large project?"

"We have it." Leng Yi said, "My ability has the effect of lava, so it's not a difficult task for me. But I can't do it alone. I have to find a few people with fire abilities to help me, otherwise I won't be able to do it."

Everyone looked at each other and realized that each of the six people with special abilities had different abilities.

Wang Hao is of the thunder element, Wang Yijun is of the water element, Wang Xiao is of the earth element, Cheng Zheng is of the wood element, and although Leng Yi and Yang Qing both have the gold element, Yang Qing's other ability is space, and only Leng Yi's has the fire attribute.

"We'll hire people with high salaries," Wang Zhenshan said. "Go outside and recruit some people with special abilities, with a focus on fire abilities."

"Are there still people with special abilities who do not belong to the three major families?" Yang Qing asked.

"Yes, but not many." Wang Zhenshan pondered, "Like before, didn't you belong to any family? I think there may be some hidden supernatural people."

"But there will always be brave men under a big reward. If we tell them the dangers of these black holes, maybe someone will stand up." (End of this chapter)
