Earth Cinema

Chapter 330: Illusion? Doubt

earthquake?

It felt like everything around me was shaking.

There's also that inexplicable feeling of danger.

Su Liang's mind tensed up instantly. Without time to think, he shouted to the inner room, "There's an earthquake. Let's go."

Then he opened the door and rushed out.

Even with Su Liang's current skills, he would not dare to be careless in the face of a natural geological disaster like an earthquake.

As soon as I arrived at the corridor, I saw people rushing out of their homes in a panic. Some of them were in disarray, without even their clothes or pants put on properly, and some ran out barefoot in just their underwear.

"There's an earthquake, run."

The corridor was noisy, but many doors were still open.

Turning to look at the door, I saw a black shadow flash out from it. I knew it was Gong Er who came out, and I felt relieved.

Nor does it stop.

The whole person turned into a swimming fish, flashing in the gaps of the crowd, and soon flashed from the back to the front, with Gong Er following closely behind.

At this time, the tremors became stronger and stronger, and the entire building was shaking. The strong tremors made many people unable to stand up, and frightened even more people into panic, using their hands and feet to rush around like headless flies.

Even though the corridor was in a state of chaos, the two of them managed to find a way forward and a place to stay in the crowded crowd by taking advantage of every opportunity.

The crowd didn't hinder the two men at all.

In just a moment, he rushed out of the crowd.

As soon as I came outside, I heard a commotion. The crowd that was originally wandering outside was also noisy and chaotic, and were all looking for an open and safe place to hide.

But at this moment, Su Liang stopped.

Looking into the distance.

It came quickly and left quickly, but the sense of urgency that he had felt like a thorn in his back quietly dissipated.

Sure enough, the shaking did not last long. After about half a minute, it reached its peak and then began to gradually weaken until it disappeared.

Only a slight vibration remains.

ended?
It seemed like just a small earthquake.

Su Liang stopped and looked into the distance, where there were crowds of people everywhere.

It was a mess.

A breeze blew and I felt a little cold on my head. I wiped it and it felt a little wet. It turned out that my forehead was already sweaty.

I was completely stimulated by the feeling of suffocation just now.

"Give."

As soon as I put my hand down, I saw a towel being handed to me, and I saw Gong Er standing beside me, looking at me with inquiring eyes.

It seemed a little strange that this level of earth dragon turning could make him sweat so much.

Su Liang took the towel and wiped the sweat off his face.

But my mind involuntarily drifted to other places.

just……

That feeling, something's wrong.

It felt like the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to split apart in an instant. There was that overwhelming sense of danger shrouded by death, as if I would die in the next moment. Why did that feeling suddenly weaken?

Is it because of the earthquake?
But with an earthquake of this magnitude, ordinary people are able to escape, so why do we feel that horrified?

Thinking back to the feeling before, I still feel a little scared. It felt like there was a bomb of terrifying power under my feet.

It will explode under your feet in the next moment.

He was blown to pieces.

why?
If it was just an earthquake of this magnitude, it shouldn't have given me that feeling at all.

Is it an illusion?
Su Liang shook his head, he didn't think so.

Something must have happened at that time that he was not aware of.

After a while, until the vibrations had completely subsided, the crowd that had gathered on the open space slowly dispersed.

A pop-up window with urgent news appeared on the phone.

"Emergency notice: Gaoxiang City has experienced a 7.8-magnitude earthquake with a magnitude of 10. The earthquake was felt over 8 kilometers away, affecting eight surrounding counties and cities. The epicenters include Anhe City and Tianbei City... The earthquake is quite strong. Rescue teams and material assistance have already gone to Gaoxiang City to launch rescue operations."

Below the news article, there are several photos of the disaster scene taken by drones.

The hard ground was like paper, and a crack was easily torn into it, as if a giant beast was slowly opening its huge mouth into the abyss.

Hideous, crisscrossing cracks appeared on the ground.

Some places were torn apart, some places were squeezed and collided, causing steep landslides, and various buildings and structures also collapsed.

The vehicle was crushed into a piece of scrap metal by the collapsed building.

There are ruins everywhere.

in ruins.

The whole photo is very miserable. Occasionally, there are people who appear, and they are covered with dirt and scars.

Gaoxiang City.

It is about 80 kilometers away from Tianbei City. It is also a relatively prosperous city with strong economic strength.

Tianbei City is just at the epicenter of Gaoxiang City.

Level 7.8.

This is a terrifying earthquake level, which can be regarded as a major earthquake and has the ability to change the terrain.

Su Liang looked at the news on his mobile phone and fell into deep thought.

……

Inside the cinema.

At the time of the earthquake, the computer screen in the hall began to flash wildly, and then refreshed and displayed line by line of text.

... detected ... transferred and eliminated, expected ... speed increase ... origin insufficient ... deepened ...

……

Shangjing.

“Have you figured it out?”

Someone asked anxiously.

"There are no specific figures yet, but according to existing reports, the earthquake affected several surrounding cities. It is estimated that the losses from the earthquake are as high as tens of billions. The death toll in Gaoxiang City has exceeded 100, and the number of injured and missing people is as high as thousands."

"A 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Why was an earthquake of this magnitude not predicted?"

An energetic old man in formal attire shouted angrily, his cloudy eyes full of regret and anger, "What is the Earthquake Bureau for? If there had been an early prediction, a lot of losses could have been reduced, and fewer people would have died."

"This earthquake was too sudden. It was totally out of character. There was no sign at all. By the time it was detected, the earthquake had already begun."

There was silence for a while, and then someone spoke.

"Moreover, earthquakes have occurred frequently in the world recently, and most of them are not located in earthquake zones. Up to now, the frequency of earthquakes in our country of Xia has been very low. The frequency of earthquakes in other countries is several times or even dozens of times higher than ours. The small country of Kragu happens to be in an earthquake zone, and after the earthquake, the country disappeared directly."

“Is this an excuse for a bad forecast?”

The old man's eyes were sharp, and the man who spoke felt cold.

"..."

“Is it related to that cinema?”

At this time, another old man in military uniform made a guess, "This situation is not uncommon these days. In the past, after those countries targeted movie theaters and killed audiences, there were many earthquakes without warning, causing heavy losses."

"This doesn't make sense. We haven't taken any action against movie theaters recently, and there is no Earth Cinema in Gaoxiang City."

"No matter what the situation is, the most important thing now is the affected area, so let's start the rescue work first."

The old man sighed tiredly, paused, and then continued, "Pay attention to the situation of the cinema recently to see if there are any new changes."

"Until the results come out, slow down your actions on Earth Cinema."
