Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 853 Extreme Apocalypse 17

Li Yanjing glanced coldly at the others, several of whom had their eyes darting around, staring intently at them.

Both families were well-equipped, clearly carrying a lot of things, so it's no surprise they attracted unwanted attention, which is why they had to be extra careful.

*

It was 10 a.m., and everyone was a little hungry. Those who had brought food with them took it out to eat.

Li Xinyan winked at Ruan Chutong: "Sister Tong, the food is all with my brother. Go and get it for everyone."

Ruan Chutong nodded and walked over to Li Yanjing.

She knew that Li Xinyan said this to draw everyone's attention to Li Yanjing.

Nowadays, food is always more attractive than anything else, and people tend to target those who carry food.

I used to smuggle food into the space by putting it in Li Yanjing's bag.

Li Yanjing cooperated by moving her backpack in front of her and opening it, and everyone immediately gathered around.

Ruan Chutong reached into his backpack, where there was originally only a little rice that she had collected from the Gao family, but suddenly there were eight loaves of bread.

She took out some food and distributed it to everyone. At this time, they were all being watched, and it wasn't appropriate for them to eat hot food, so they could only make do with what they had for now.

Otherwise, some people will inevitably be envious and risk their lives to snatch it.

Although she wasn't afraid, she didn't want to put everyone in danger over something trivial.

Around noon, when everyone relaxed a bit, the ice surface trembled again.

The earthquakes are not over yet; this one is even stronger than the previous ones, making it impossible for people to even stand.

"Everyone, steady yourselves and squat down," Li Yanjing raised her voice to remind them.

The two families did as he said almost immediately.

Several large cracks appeared in the blink of an eye right next to where they were standing.

"Ahhh, help me!!"

Someone didn't have time to squat down, lost their balance and fell to one side, pulling innocent people next to them down with them.

Soon, some people noticed that the spot where they were standing was also starting to crack.

Even in places where houses are supported by ice, they cannot withstand the devastation of an earthquake; whether one survives depends on luck.

One after another, the ice surface cracked, and wave after wave of people fell into the bottomless crevice.

"The ice beneath my feet has cracked!!"

A slightly overweight young man crouched on the ground, covering his head, when he suddenly saw a crack appear beneath his feet, and he was filled with fear.

"Run!!!!"

The others who were squatting next to him immediately stood up and ran when they heard the noise.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast you run, you can't outrun an earthquake. Before you've taken more than a few steps, you feel your foot slip.

A group of people died in the blink of an eye, leaving only their final cries for help.

Seeing this, both the Li and Gao families froze, their eyes filled with fear.

There's a feeling that humanity is small and powerless in the face of disaster.

Ruan Chutong didn't feel much, but in order to prevent everyone from crowding around them.

She still used her spiritual power to stabilize the ice layer where the remaining people were standing.

The earthquake lasted for more than an hour before it stopped.

Afterwards, everyone was pale, partly from fear and partly from being cold.

"Is it over? I wonder if there will be another earthquake?"

Xu Zhenzhu couldn't hold on any longer, so she put her bag on the ground and sat down, shivering from the cold.

Ruan Chutong quickly grabbed Li Xinyan's bag, borrowed it, and took out several thermal first-aid blankets from her spatial storage to distribute to everyone.

This thermal blanket is made of a special material that can prevent body heat from escaping when wrapped around the body.

"We'll have to spend the night here, so everyone be careful not to get hypothermia."

She did not answer the question about whether the earthquake would end, because even if she knew the answer, it would be difficult to explain to everyone.

Everyone was silent for a moment, as they were still reeling from what had happened that day.

Everywhere they looked, there were bottomless abysses, which made them feel as if they were standing on the edge of a cliff, with their lives in danger at any moment.

Therefore, I was not in the mood to talk, and my body was numb and weak from the cold.

Sure enough, not long after, there were still aftershocks that continued until the area where everyone was standing cracked.

This blocks everyone's way out, giving the feeling of being stranded on a deserted island with no one to go on, which is actually no different from being on a deserted island.

"Now we're doomed, we'll have to wait here until we die, waaaaah~"

A middle-aged woman with a pale face and frozen eyebrows looked miserable.

Although she was crying, she dared not let the tears fall, because if they did, they would freeze into ice.

"My child has a fever. Does anyone have fever reducer? Please help me."

Hearing the sound, Ruan Chutong turned around to look.

Not far behind them, a man in his thirties, his face filled with grief, was holding a little boy with his eyes closed in his arms.

Beside her was a woman with worried eyes, looking somewhat unsteady; they appeared to be a family of three.

"Lele, are you alright, Lele? Don't sleep, are you feeling unwell? Wake up and see Mommy."

The child's face was flushed even in this weather, indicating that he definitely had a high fever.

Ruan Chutong noticed that both the Li family and the Gao family had glanced in that direction several times.

Although they felt sorry for her, no one asked her for medicine.

Although no one spoke, everyone was keeping a close eye on the situation.

Li Xinyan leaned closer to Ruan Chutong with some sadness, hugged her arm, and whispered tremblingly, "Sister Tong, the apocalypse is really cruel."

"You want to save that child?"

“I don’t know either. I feel that living might not be a good thing in the current situation, but he is so young and he is the hope for his parents to live.”

Ruan Chutong patted her head without saying anything.

With so many people watching, they definitely can't save anyone.

However, I can still give myself a few fever-reducing pills after dark.

As for the rest, whether the child lives or dies is up to fate, but she didn't say that out loud.

The sound of weeping and wailing lingered in everyone's ears, and everyone was in a state of sadness and numbness, feeling quite down.

When I get hungry, I just eat something quick and easy, then curl up and rest.

After discussing it, the two families decided to keep watch at night to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to attack or steal their belongings.

Ruan Chutong offered to stand guard tonight, but everyone disagreed.

In the end, one person from the family was chosen: Gao Mingcheng and Li Yanjing kept watch.

Well, Ruan Chutong didn't refuse everyone's kindness.

It was the middle of the night, when everyone was dozing off.

Ruan Chutong glanced around and saw that everyone was resting with their eyes closed, and no one was paying attention to this side.

She took out a few fever-reducing pills that she had prepared beforehand and threw them into the hand of the man holding the child.

Liu Ye felt a sharp pain in his hand, and when he touched it, he found a hard object in his hand.
