"Chen Letian, go down and move the tree!"
Shen Yuan quickly got out of the car and joined Chen Letian to clear the tree.
Both of them were quite strong, and it was not difficult for the two of them to move the tree together.
"Chen Letian, you drive along National Route 104 towards Jinling. Xu Lixing, you sit in the passenger seat." Shen Yuan said as he and Chi Qinghua entered the cabin.
Chen Letian's driving skills were decent, and Xu Lixing was exceptionally capable.
The cabin door was left open; Shen Yuan did not want to miss anything outside, wanting to stay informed about the situation.
The ground was still shaking, but the tremors were not severe, just enough to make a teacup rattle.
"The earthquake's intensity is not high, but it could be a foreshock; the main shock might still be coming," Zhang Huanxue said softly.
She looked like a good girl, likely doing well in her studies, clearly recalling what she had learned about earthquakes from textbooks.
"The duration of foreshocks can vary; it could be just a few minutes before the main shock hits, or it could take hours, days, or even years," Zhang Huanxue recalled her knowledge, her face pale.
Shen Yuan remained silent, but a sense of foreboding lingered in his heart.
The behavior of all the zombies and mutant beasts in Pengcheng had become abnormal; he felt that this earthquake was unusual and probably not a minor one below magnitude 5. It might even be more terrifying than the Wenchuan Earthquake.
The tremors grew stronger, and soon Shen Yuan could see buildings by the roadside swaying slightly.
Half an hour later, they had left the suburbs of Pengcheng and arrived at the rural town.
The population density in the rural town was relatively low, and there were not many Zombies to be seen, but the number of Mutant Beasts had increased.
Fortunately, all the Mutant Beasts were currently panicking, and very few attacked them. The Box Truck maintained a speed of about sixty kilometers per hour, which ordinary Mutant Beasts could not catch up to.
Along the way, Shen Yuan saw many terrifying Mutant Beasts!
One of them was a plow ox that was rare even in the countryside now, standing four meters tall and six meters long, crossing National Highway 104. Chen Letian was so scared that he quickly slammed on the brakes.
Fortunately, the creature ignored him and soon crossed National Highway 104. Only then did Chen Letian restart the truck and accelerate.
There was also a Steel-Maned Black Pig over two meters tall, running frantically through a small grove, carelessly crashing into a tree as thick as a bowl and breaking it, shaking its head and continuing to run amok, soon knocking down a wall!
An old goose at least two meters tall looked incredibly strong as it fought fiercely with an Old Hen that was less than two meters. Behind the Old Hen followed seven or eight half-meter-tall chicks... The chicks had grown this big too!
"This is unscientific!" Wei Luhe muttered.
"Is it unscientific to grow this big in less than a week? Is it scientific for someone to be covered in scales? Is it scientific for Zhang Chenggong to manipulate ice? Is it scientific for Old Wei's blood to heal wounds and make someone youthful again within an hour?"
Shen Yuan held a Slingshot in one hand and grabbed a few steel balls with the other, shaking his head and saying, "What is science? Just because something can't be explained right now doesn't mean it's not science! Science isn't defined like that!"
When heliocentrism was proposed, there were also many people who thought it was unscientific;
When quantum mechanics was proposed, a lot of scientists believed it was impossible.
When Einstein proposed relativity, very few people in the world could understand it!
Shen Yuan does not believe that there is anything unscientific in this world; existence itself is truth. If it cannot be explained by current science, it is because human civilization is still far from sufficient, and technological advancement is still lacking!
The worlds described and imagined by those top scientists are more bizarre and incredible than anything imagined by any online novel writer!
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, causing even the Box Truck to sway violently. Zhang Huanxue, caught off guard, fell into Shen Yuan's arms.
"Shen... Shen Ge, I'm sorry." Zhang Huanxue quickly composed herself, her pretty face flushed because she sensed a strong masculine aura from Shen Yuan, making her heart race.
"It's okay," Shen Yuan shook his head.
The tremors grew stronger, and Shen Yuan felt as if the entire world was shaking.
Ten minutes later, Chen Letian suddenly slammed on the brakes because the road ahead was blocked. The toll station at Zhangjia Town on National Route 104 had collapsed during the earthquake, making it impassable!
"Boss, what should we do? Should we take a detour through the back roads?" Chen Letian shouted.
"No way!" Shen Yuan said sternly.
The path was lined with trees and houses. Not to mention the earthquake, just yesterday's Terror Storm surely caused many large trees to snap in the wind, making the path impassable.
Shen Yuan jumped out of the carriage, then used his left hand for support to climb onto the top of the carriage and looked into the distance.
The ground was shaking violently, houses were collapsing one after another, and trees were breaking!
The main shock had begun!
This was an unprecedentedly strong earthquake, as almost all visible buildings collapsed within just two minutes! Shen Yuan did not know the magnitude of this earthquake, but having seen videos of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake, he knew that this earthquake was definitely far more terrifying than those two!
An unprecedented Great Earthquake!
The largest earthquake in the past hundred years was the Chile Earthquake, with a magnitude of 9.5.
Shen Yuan had watched a movie called "10.5 Magnitude Great Earthquake," and he still vividly remembered the scenes of destruction depicted in it.
However, he felt that compared to the earthquake happening now, that so-called "10.5" Magnitude Great Earthquake was nothing; it was vastly inferior!
In just two minutes, nearly all visible buildings had collapsed, many areas began to sink, cracks appeared in the ground, roads were damaged and broken, and trees were falling everywhere.
Where was the epicenter!!!
Shen Yuan did not know; this was his first experience of a felt earthquake, and everything was unclear.
The only thing he was clear about was that he couldn't go anywhere right now; he could only stay put because this was a road, the ground was relatively solid, and apart from the collapsed Zhangjia Town toll station, there were no other buildings around. Although there were roadside trees planted on both sides, they were not dense, and the trees were not as tall as imagined. Most of them had been broken by the previous Terror Storm.
This was already the safest place!
"What should we do, boss?" Chen Letian also came out of the driver's seat and shouted upon seeing the devastating scene outside.
"Shut off the engine! Everyone get out! Stay away from the trees! Stay away from buildings! Stay put and wait!" Shen Yuan shouted.
Everyone came out, watching everything happening outside with extreme tension.
The main shock did not last long and quickly passed.
However, the surroundings were completely blocked, and for now, they couldn't go anywhere. Generally speaking, after the main shock, there are aftershocks, and no one knew when they would occur. Moreover, such a terrifying Great Earthquake meant that the intensity of the aftershocks would certainly not be low; it might even reach seven or eight on the Richter scale, so they had to be cautious.
"You all wait here for a moment; I'm going up to take a look."
Shen Yuan saw a Communication Tower not far away, estimated to be about fifty or sixty meters high. This type of Communication Tower was open on all sides and was not afraid of wind; the Terror Storm had no effect on it. Fortunately, the earthquake hadn't caused it to collapse; it was the tallest building Shen Yuan could see.
Using both hands and feet, Shen Yuan quickly reached the top of the Communication Tower and took out his binoculars to survey the surroundings.
In the next moment, he was stunned!
