Chapter 2043 Rescue
There was an earthquake in Canghai City.
Mingxi and the others had been to Shen's house that day. When they were sleeping in the inn that night, there was a sudden tremor. He realized something was wrong and immediately went next door to look for Miao'er.
Huo Huang and Xu Jinbei had already been awakened. They were the first to react. After alerting other people in the inn, they quickly left. The moment they walked out of the inn, the inn and the surrounding houses collapsed.
"What happened?" Some people who were pulled out by their companions while sleeping still looked confused.
"This is...an earthquake." Xu Jinbei still felt the vibration under his feet, "We need to leave here quickly and go to an open place."
The sleeping Canghai City was awakened in the middle of the night. Screams, cries, and shouts were heard endlessly. The people living here had never experienced such a natural disaster. How could they sleep until midnight and the mountains were shaking? In just a few breaths, All the houses were in ruins.
Mingxi's face was as calm as water. He and Mi'er exchanged glances, and the four of them left the ruins together. Wherever they passed, bursts of heart-wrenching cries could be heard.
"You go rescue people, and I'll go see what's going on." Mi'er felt compassion in her heart as she listened to the cries.
"Don't force yourself. Although this kind of vision has never happened before, it may not be what we think." Mingxi whispered.
Miao'er said, "You know I'm not restricted. I felt something strange during the earthquake. I'm afraid... the checks and balances of heaven have collapsed. I'd better go and have a look. You and Huo Huang are here to save people."
The earthquake took people by surprise. Although it only shook for a few breaths, it had already knocked down many houses and buried countless people.
"Okay." Mingxi nodded gently, "Be careful."
Seeing Mei'er leaving alone, Xu Jinbei asked doubtfully, "Where is Mei'er going? She lives with a girl..."
"She will be back in a moment. Let's help rescue people first." Mingxi said, asking him to ignore those buried in the ruins was impossible.
Xu Jinbei saw that Mingxi didn't seem worried about Miao'er and knew that he was sure that Miao'er would not be in danger, so he went to help rescue people together.
The county government office in Canghai City was also in ruins. The only people who could come to the rescue were soldiers from the border. When they arrived, it was already dawn.
Mingxi and the others saved many people. The three young men were covered in dust and their handsome faces were no longer visible, but many people wanted to kneel down to thank them.
When soldiers joined in to help, their rescue was faster, but hundreds of people still died.
"Although it is winter, it is best to bury the dead as soon as possible." Mingxi said to Wang Cuo who led the troops to rescue.
"Are you... His Highness?" Wang Cuo originally thought that Mingxi was just an ordinary young man, but who knew that after he washed the dust off his face, he revealed a face that looked familiar to him.
He looks so much like King Qin.
"General Wang, my name is Mingxi." Mingxi said with a smile.
Mo Mingxi! Wang Cuo's face was overjoyed, "Why are you here, Your Majesty... Where are the King of Qin and the Princess?"
"They are somewhere else, not here." Mingxi said, not knowing how far away they were from here and whether they would be affected by the earthquake.
"Then the young master is here alone?" Wang Cuo asked in surprise, as if he didn't see any other entourage around Mingxi.
Mingxi smiled lightly, "No, there are four of us."
Wang Cuo looked at Xu Jinbei and Huo Huang next to Mingxi. They were both children!
"Young Master, you have been tired for a long day. I will ask someone to take you back to rest first. We are here. I have asked someone to report the situation here quickly. Your Majesty... Your Majesty will send someone here soon," Wang Cuo said.
"Besides here, are there any other earthquakes?" Mingxi asked. Although he was a little tired, he was not unable to hold on.
A heavy look appeared on Wang Cuo's face, "Only the earthquake occurred in Canghai City. However, across the Bailong River, many places in the Yuan Kingdom were affected by the earthquake. We here in the Jin Kingdom... heard that there was a heavy rainstorm in the north."
Mingxi frowned and looked at the sky. There were dark clouds, and it didn't look like it was going to rain. There was no spiritual energy in the air. Although the spiritual energy was thin before, it was not like now, as if all the spiritual energy had been sucked away.
"Mio'er hasn't come back yet." Xu Jinbei's face looked a little ugly. They were desperate to save people, but they had forgotten the time. Only now did they remember that a day and night had passed, and Mio'er was still nowhere to be seen.
"Let's go find him." Mingxi whispered.
Wang Cuo thought they still wanted to go out to rescue people, so he hurriedly said, "Master, you haven't rested for a day, and you haven't even eaten or drank. Tell me who you want to save, and I'll have someone find him immediately."
It doesn't matter if Mingxi and Huohuang don't eat or drink, but Xu Jinbei is just a mortal.
"You rest here and have something to eat first. Huohuang and I will go find Miao'er." Mingxi said to Xu Jinbei.
"I'll go with you." Xu Jinbei said. He was so tired that his face turned blue.
Wang Cuo said loudly, "You are all here, I will let people find you."
Just as he was talking, a pretty girl came over. Unlike Mingxi and the others, she was clean and her face was pink and white. She smiled at them and said, "Mingxi, I'm back."
"Miao'er." Xu Jinbei's face was filled with joy.
Mingxi nodded, "It's good to come back safely."
Wang Cuo took Mingxi and the others to a camp outside the city, and had people prepare meals for them. "This place is relatively simple, and the houses in the city are no longer habitable. You should feel aggrieved first."
"Thank you, General Wang. This place is already very good." All the people in the city have been accommodated here, and most of them sleep on the ground. It is already very good for them to be in the tents.
"Master Mingxi, you guys have your meal first, I have to go to the city to rescue people," Wang Cuo said.
There were only four of them left in the camp. Mi'er whispered to Mingxi, "The earthquake came without any warning signs. It came suddenly. I've looked and found that the spiritual energy was sucked away by the cracks behind the dark clouds. While I was repairing, I met the city lord."
"Is that crack...a breakdown of the balance of heaven?" Huo Huang's expression changed.
Mi'er nodded slightly, "I suspect that there is a new gap in the human continent, that's why it's like this."
Mingxi and Huohuang simultaneously recalled the time they saw a black hole in the mountains, "Could it be..."
"No, that already exists, and it's not necessarily a gap." Mi'er said, "The city lord and I have repaired the cracks. I'm fine, but the city lord has consumed too much spiritual power, and he is already injured. , I’m afraid it will take a long time to recover.”
"With my mother here, there's no need to worry too much." Mingxi said, "It's just the new gap..."
"What...are you talking about?" Xu Jinbei, who had been listening silently, suddenly asked with a pale face.
