Chapter 172 Those fantasies become reality
He comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Youyou. I'm here and I'll always be by your side. No matter how the outside world changes, we will always be together."
Although these words, which were like a vow, were very profound and full of love, they made Shi You's heart sink to the bottom.
I just woke up, and that sudden premonition was right: the world is sad.
Shi You covered Jiang Hengzhou's mouth as he wanted to speak, closed his eyes, and began to sense the situation outside the space.
As he moved, the outside world immediately appeared before his eyes.
When all fantasies and all unacceptable things become reality, you will realize the cruelty of this world.
Shi You now seems to understand the cruelty of the saying "survival of the fittest".
The fittest survive, and those who cannot adapt are likely to die.
In just two days, the village they lived in had already shown that things had changed and people had changed.
Shi You now seemed to be standing in front of a devastated ruin. His eyes shuttled between the broken gray concrete walls and ruins, trying to identify whether the scene before him could still overlap with the familiar street in his memory.
After seeing a familiar tile mural, Shi You couldn't hold back any longer.
It looked very familiar. He still remembered having been to that family's yard and seen the mural on the wall facing the door. He even praised it for being very beautiful and fitting in with the plants planted in the house.
He even remembers that there was only a middle-aged couple in that family. The woman liked to play cards on the street, and the man liked to play with the old men in Houjie.
The child seemed to be working in a city in the south and only came home during the Chinese New Year.
The entrance wall that left a deep impression on Shi You was chosen by the children in the family when they were young, and it has quite a bit of history.
Familiar things always bring back memories, but broken things bring back sadness.
Although everything has become strange and broken, a trace of comfort quietly welled up in my heart - surrounded by ruins, there are still some houses standing tenaciously.
Judging from the appearance of those houses, they should have been newly built in recent years. They are quite solid, with just some cracks, but still standing firm.
What made Shi You feel a little more at ease was that people could still be seen moving around the surviving houses, going in and out either busy or anxiously.
All I could see from their expressions was sadness.
"This...when did this happen?" After Shi You opened her eyes, she looked at Jiang Hengzhou with tears in her eyes. Although her voice was calm, it was filled with indescribable complex emotions.
This feeling includes sadness for this village and for this world.
Judging from the points to the lines, and from the lines to the surface, Shi You still knew that earthquakes were unlikely to occur in this plain area. Since there was one, it was certain that it was not just this one.
It is very likely that natural disasters of varying degrees will occur around the world, and what is even more terrifying is that earthquakes may just be the beginning.
"Around 8:45 yesterday morning, it was a global disaster." Jiang Hengzhou beside him answered in a heavy but clear tone.
"This area has suffered varying degrees of damage, but compared to other places, the amplitude here is smaller, so the degree of damage and the number of injured are relatively low. It has stabilized in two days, and in this weather, each family has some stored food that can be used, so those who are still alive are still alive."
Jiang Hengzhou speculated that the reason why the situation in this area was not so serious might be because of something the sign-in system did.
When the earthquake came, he didn't feel it in the space. It was the system's prompt that made him go out and take a look.
Jiang Hengzhou, a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, was completely helpless against this kind of natural disaster. He tried his best to save some humans and preserve some houses that were not seriously damaged, but he was unable to do more.
As for other places, he cannot take care of them with his current ability.
After the earthquake ended, the sign-in system issued a reminder that the spiritual energy revival officially began.
Jiang Hengzhou didn't know what the disaster situation was like in other places.
But in this information age, the speed of Internet communication is very fast, and when disaster strikes, many videos appear on the Internet.
Even now, it is still operating tenaciously in some areas, becoming a window for him to understand the dynamics of the outside world.
By browsing the few videos available, Jiang Hengzhou was able to get a glimpse of the widespread impact of the earthquake.
Although the plain area where they live was also hit by the earthquake, the damage was relatively minor in comparison.
In those mountainous areas far away from the plains, the originally lush forests were torn to pieces by the ruthless forces of nature due to the mountain turbulence caused by the earthquake.
In coastal areas, the tsunami caused by the earthquake was raging like a beast, with huge waves swallowing up everything on the shore, causing many coastal towns to fall into an unprecedented crisis, etc.
These videos not only made Jiang Hengzhou deeply feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of natural disasters, but also made him more convinced that this spiritual energy revival might not be a good start for mankind.
It may even cause humanity to fall from the stage of rulers of this planet.
Anyone who experiences a life-and-death struggle at the beginning, or even to the point where he can only barely survive, will start late.
However, these situations actually have little to do with Jiang Hengzhou and Shi You. All their survival supplies are now independent of this planet.
But after the revival of spiritual energy, they are destined to survive on this planet. The future that awaits Jiang Hengzhou and Shi You is that they can only survive here by constantly working hard to improve themselves.
Although Shi You had some guesses in her mind, she kept comforting herself and not letting herself think too much.
After hearing Jiang Hengzhou say that the earthquake occurred during the day, he sighed softly and secretly felt lucky: "Fortunately it happened during the day. If it happened at night, many people would not have been able to make it in time..."
He didn't say anything, and it was too late for him to say anything, but Jiang Hengzhou knew it too.
Jiang Hengzhou hesitated for a moment, took out his tablet, and opened several videos he had downloaded to show Shi You.
The shaking camera also foreshadows the sense of urgency of this video. The earth is turning over, the mountains and rivers are shattered, and there is no sign of stability anywhere.
The roar of the river waves and the desperate howl of human beings are vividly reflected in some videos.
Except for those cultivators who must be in the "paradise", no one would be as lucky as Jiang Hengzhou and Shi You to have a space independent of the blue planet.
