　　Boom!

　　A low thud was heard coming from underground, shaking the ground, and shrieks of panic were heard from the crowd.

　　"Is that an earthquake?" Sai Gao asked as he was about to finish checking in, catching Shao Xian right as she was about to fall to the ground. He exchanged a glance with Fu Bo and both of them looked at the mountain peak in the distance.

　　"It's coming from beneath the mountain." Sai Gao concluded after focusing for a moment with his eyes closed.

　　"Let's get out of here first." Fu Bo frowned and led the way out of the hotel.

　　Outside of the hotel, chaos reigned in the streets. The small town at the foot of the mountain was usually calm, with its serenity only slightly disrupted by the many tourists. However, the streets were now full of people running around in a panic, desperately seeking refuge from the tremors.

　　Although there was a lack of high-rise buildings, there was an abundance of billboards, which made for disastrous consequences. Wu Jia was helping Chen Quan walk toward a bathroom, and despite the precarious situation they found themselves in, she could not help but wonder about Li Yiming's relation with Chen Quan.

　　'So he answered the call and said he was going to come right away? Who is this Chen Quan guy? Is he a close friend?'

　　A loud crack was heard.

　　Wu Jia looked up in horror, only to see an old billboard losing its support and falling down. She was already struggling with dragging Chen Quan along with her, and, in the panic of the moment, she froze still. Chen Quan normally would have been able to save himself and Wu Jia, but he was almost on the verge of pa.s.sing out from the wounds he had suffered.

　　Right as Wu Jia was about to meet her fate, her own shadow emerged from the ground, forming a giant claw and stopping the billboard.

　　"What…?" Wu Jia could not believe her eyes.

　　Chen Quan also froze in fear, as the shadow which just saved his life reminded him of the two black specters he had encountered underground.

　　"What are you doing? Run!" An angry roar was heard as Ying Mei rushed toward the two.

　　Wu Jia finally snapped out of it and dragged Chen Quan out of the way.

　　Dong!

　　A loud thud was heard as the billboard finally fell to the ground.

　　"Let's get to somewhere safe." Ying Mei helped Chen Quan stand up. She was regretting her rash decision, but she could not afford to let Wu Jia and Chen Quan die.

　　"We need to go! Quick!" Ying Mei yelled at Tian Yan, who stood still, deaf to her call. It was as if a spell has been cast on her, as Tian Yan continued to stare to the side, her limbs shaking slightly.

　　"Yan'er? Yan'er?" Ying Mei called again. She turned her head and saw three people who stood out in the panicking crowd, standing still and looking back at her. One was a handsome, well-built man who seemed amused. The other was a beautiful young woman. The third person was a young man whose existence seemed hard to discern, as if he was invisible.

　　Crack!

　　The ground rumbled a second time, sending a ripple throughout the town. It was even stronger than the first, and, this time, even the glaciers resting atop the mountain awoke from their eternal slumber and began their descent down the slopes.

　　The town was panic-stricken as ever, and Tian Yan nearly fell to the ground.

　　"Yan'er?" Ying Mei cried out, letting go of Chen Quan and rus.h.i.+ng to go help Tian Yan. However, before she could even get close to her, the young man from the trio was already there.

　　"Why… Why are you here?" Fu Bo put his hand around Tian Yan's wrist, at a loss of what to say.

　　"I came here for you," Tian Yan said with abashedly. Even amid the apocalypse, she was completely engrossed by Fu Bo.

　　"It's very dangerous here."

　　"I know."

　　"Bad things will happen here."

　　"I know."
