Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 261 - 259 Another Collapse
Chapter 261: Chapter 259 Another Collapse
Chapter 261: Chapter 259 Another Collapse
“Thank you, Sister Yan.”
Kong Wu and Qin Lang reached out to take them, stunned for a second, but no one asked any questions.
Jiang Yan, as a distinguished guest of Mo Jingsheng, the base leader, was expected to produce some special equipment. Besides, now wasn’t the time for idle chat.
“Everyone, put on your helmets as well,” Sun Jingtao reminded the group.
“Okay.”
The six of them donned their helmets, grabbed their personal supplies, and waited with bated breath.
The ground shook for a while, gradually lessening in intensity, but dust and small stones still “rustled” as they fell.
Faint cries for help could be heard coming from the front and back of the carriage.
Their carriage, being exclusively used by Mo Jingsheng, had significant empty spaces arranged in the front and back, outfitted with a conference room, rest areas, and the like.
However, they were equipped with one-way locks.
Kong Wu and Qin Lang heard the calls for help, opened the connecting doors between the carriages from the front and the back; before they were fully opened, a pile of rubble along with dust burst out wildly.
“This—” Everyone froze for a second, then quickly stepped forward to help push the door back.
Clearly, the empty spaces in front and behind were blocked by the collapse of giant boulders and loose earth.
“Everyone stay calm and follow the lead.”
“The temporary shelter is right beside us.”
Voices of warriors were faintly heard from the front and back.
“Brother Qin, you and Ye Qing take Sister Yan and leave first. I’ll go and give them a hand,” Kong Wu said.
Qin Lang furrowed his brow deeply, shaking his head: “No, we leave together. The carriages in front of and behind us also have emergency shelters, and there are warriors escorting them.
It will be much easier for them to find the shelters than for us to clear these stones.”
The situation was unclear at the moment, and rashly attempting to rescue others could end up worsening the situation.
The mission given to them by Mo Jingsheng was to ensure Jiang Yan’s safe passage to East Mountain.
As for anything else, they could help as much as possible, as long as their own safety was assured.
Otherwise, they would have to painfully give up.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Kong Wu’s eyes; he bit his lip, turned his head to Qin Lang and Ye Qing, “Brother Qin, Ye Qing, lead the way! I’ll cover the rear!”
Compared to the few minutes of impromptu training Jiang Yan and Su Dai had received, he and Qin Lang had undergone professional training.
The layouts of the 101st subterranean floor and underground tunnels were etched deeply in their minds.
“Alright.”
Now wasn’t the time for courteous entanglements; racing against time was fighting for more chances at life.
In the tunnel, Fluorite was placed, providing dim light, though not so much that they were in complete darkness.
Many giant stones had also rolled down beside the carriage door; Qin Lang and Ye Qing exerted much effort and finally managed to push a gap just wide enough for one person to slip through.
At present, aside from Ye Qing, the rest were all thinner in stature, making it relatively easy to get out.
After evolving, Ye Qing’s physique had become more like a colossal presence; no matter how agile, the limited space greatly restricted his movements.
“Here.” Jiang Yan pulled out a flashlight from her pocket, twisted it on, and handed it to the leading Qin Lang.
The others didn’t question much, given that during their time in Flame Base, there had generally been plenty of electricity.
Three meters wasn’t far.
The gap between the train and the adjacent tunnel was about five or six meters.
Yet currently, surrounded by giant stones and dust and wary of falling rocks from above, they moved with extreme caution.
“Be careful, everyone. It seems like the collapse is still ongoing,” Ye Qing said as he walked, vigilantly observing his surroundings.
A sign with a faint green glow appeared not far away:
[Emergency Shelter Entrance → 2m]
“The way ahead is blocked.”
Qin Lang’s eyes darkened, and he stopped in his tracks.
The others quickly looked over with the help of the flashlight beam, and through the dense dust, they could see several giant stones blocking their path.

Jiang Yan’s brows knitted together, “See how deep the blockage is?”
“Okay.” Qin Lang replied and then peered through the gaps between the stones with his flashlight, saying,
“The passageway inside isn’t damaged, but moving these giant stones will be difficult.”
“We need to be careful of a secondary collapse; let’s move the stones from the top first,” Sun Jingtao said after his observation, letting out a sigh.
“I’ll do it.”
As Ye Qing spoke, he quickly rolled up his sleeves, stood on tiptoes, lifted a rock weighing over a hundred pounds, and effortlessly moved it to the side.
Su Dai and the others watched, dumbfounded for a second, then hurried to help move the smaller stones.
“Boom!”
A loud noise erupted, and the entire tunnel and ground shook once again.
The collapse… was happening again…
