As time passed by, the traffic finally started to move.

It's just that the progress is much slower than Qi Xia imagined.

It seems that the place closest to the entrance did cause a car accident due to this strange weather phenomenon.

By the time the weird crack disappeared and traffic started to enter Qingdao again, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

During this period, Qi Xia kept calling Yu Nian'an's phone number, but no one answered.

After thinking about it, there is only one reason that can explain the current situation.

Yu Nian'an has been controlled by the police.

"Master, let's change the destination." Qi Xia was keenly aware of this and knew that he could not return home, so he said to the driver, "You don't have to go to the place where I got on the bus. I'll give you a new address."

After Qi Xia finished speaking, she searched for an address on her phone and handed it over.

"Oh?" The master took the phone and knew the destination after just one glance. "Okay, the kilometers are about the same. I'll pull you there directly."

Finally, around 10:30 in the morning, the driver pulled Qi Xia to her destination.

This is a low-cost rental house in the old town of Shibei.

"We're finally here, young man." The master breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect it took so long."

"It's okay, Master." Qi Xia took out another fifteen hundred yuan in cash from his pocket and handed it to the driver, "Thank you."

"It's okay, it's okay! This is all what it should be!" The master took the money excitedly, "Young man, if anything happens, just call me!"

Qi Xia nodded and was about to walk towards the rental house, but suddenly remembered something and turned around and said: "Master, I know you are very tired now, but don't go home before noon. When you are tired, just stay in the car."

A moment."

"Huh?" The driver was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean? You won't even be allowed back home?"

"I have no reason to lie to you." Qi Xia said, "A big event is about to happen. It will be safer to stay outside."

After Qi Xia finished speaking, she ignored the driver and walked towards the rental house.

This is the backup location rented by Qi Xia and Yu Nianan just to cope with this special moment.

He was going to pack a few clothes here and then plan the next thing.

After taking seven steps, Qi Xia's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

He was startled and quickly took it out and looked at it.

"a" calls.

"An?" Qi Xia was stunned, feeling that there was something wrong with his inference.

Isn’t Yu Nian’an under police control?

Or maybe... someone else asked her to make this call?

"Hello?" Qi Xia answered the phone and said hello in a calm tone.

He knew that even if the call came from the police, he must let them take Yu Nian'an out of the room, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Xia!" Yu Nian'an shouted feebly, "I'm sorry... I seem to be sick. I started falling asleep yesterday afternoon and didn't wake up until now."

"Are you sick?" Qi Xia frowned slightly and asked, "Did you feed the fish yesterday?"

"Pfft..." Yu Nian'an smiled, "What are you doing? Are you giving me a "secret code"? Nothing happened, but I'm really feeling a little uncomfortable."

Only then did Qi Xia understand and hurriedly said: "An, listen to me. Pack your things immediately and wait for me downstairs. I will pick you up right away."

"Um?"

"There is no time to explain, believe me." Qi Xia said anxiously, "I have deceived many people, but I have not deceived you."

"Okay..." Yu Nian'an promised, "I'll pack my things right away. How long will it take for you to arrive?"

"I..." Qi Xia turned over her hand and looked at her phone, feeling that something was not good.

It would take at least an hour to take a ride from here, and I'm afraid we would be just in time for the terrible earthquake.

"Don't worry about how long it will take for me to arrive. In short, you have to leave home quickly, even if you stand at the door."

"Oh... okay then." Yu Nian'an nodded, "I'll wash my face and I'll be down in about ten minutes."

"good!"

Qi Xia hung up the phone and hurriedly looked back for the taxi driver, only to find that he was indeed not gone. He was sitting in the cab using a miniature ultraviolet flashlight to check for counterfeit banknotes.

"Master!" Qi Xia knocked on the car window, startling the driver.

"Oh my god!" The driver hurriedly put away the money, only to realize that the person in front of him was none other than the "big customer."

"Young man?" He rolled down the window, looked around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Take me to the place where I got on the bus yesterday!" Qi Xia said, "I will give you a hundred as soon as possible this time!"

"Hi!" The master smiled and waved to Qi Xia, "I understand, come up quickly!"

Qi Xia opened the car door and sat in. The expression on his face was still a little anxious. He kept checking his phone in the car. Unfortunately, he didn't remember the time when the earthquake happened.

I only know that the earthquake will come around noon, but is it eleven o'clock or twelve o'clock?

Thinking of this, he urged the driver again: "Please hurry up."

"Young man, you are a bit too pushy. I am driving tired now..."

"Uncle, I'm really in a hurry."

"Okay, okay..."

The driver couldn't resist Qi Xia, so he stepped on the accelerator again.

The originally one-hour journey took only forty minutes.

"Thank you, master." Qi Xia dropped a hundred yuan and got out of the car without looking back.

But when he looked around, he felt a little strange.

Yu Nian'an wasn't waiting for him downstairs at all.

"What's going on?"

Qi Xia's first reaction was that Yu Nian'an might be buying something at a nearby convenience store. He called the other party's mobile phone, but still no one answered.

"Ann, where have you been...?"

Before he could figure it out, loud noises suddenly came from the distance.

Just hear the roar one after another, as if tens of thousands of trains are driving on the road.

The next second, the ground shook suddenly. Qi Xia's center of gravity suddenly became unstable and he fell hard to the ground.

"Oops!"

He knew something was wrong. He was standing in this position when the last earthquake came.

It seems that there is an arrangement somewhere, the same time, the same location.

Even if I had to do it all over again, nothing would change.

Vehicles all around began to collide, and people screamed one after another.

Qi Xia couldn't care less and could only run towards her apartment building. Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance that Yu Nian'an was at home, she would have to rescue her, but it was too difficult to move during the earthquake.

Qi Xia fell down five or six times before finally regaining her balance.

"Hang!!" He yelled upstairs. He obviously only lived on the third floor, so he should be able to hear the sound.

Qi Xia regained her composure and walked into the unit door.

He remembered that the porch collapsed when he walked into the unit door, and he died because of this.

Thinking of this, he quickly ducked to the side, and a huge stone instantly hit the place where he was standing.

This rock was so huge that it was impossible to survive if it was hit.
