I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Chapter 97 Return to the Old Site

Along the way, because the road was really hard to identify, we took several wrong turns. Lin Lin kept asking me, "Do you know where your home is?"

I told you to stop making noise, it's really annoying. The community where I lived before was the school district of the entire city. Not far from my house was a key junior high school and a key high school. It is said that high school students did not have summer vacation at that time but were in school. The earthquake caused countless deaths and injuries. I guess many parents who survived the earthquake would go crazy when they heard the bad news.

I have been searching every road home according to my memory. Some roads were bumpy and had not been repaired, but there were collapsed buildings next to them. I had to retrieve the car, climb over the collapsed section, get the car out and continue forward. There are also very tall buildings in the city that have not completely collapsed into ruins, but have formed dangerous buildings that are tilted at a 40-degree angle to the ground. The entire building is covered with cracks wide enough for a person to fit in. Once someone enters this kind of building, it may collapse and bury them in the next second, so no one dares to take the risk.

At this moment, Lin Lin behind me suddenly asked me to stop.

I wonder, what did you see that made me stop?

Lin Lin pointed to a large iron rack on the ground and said to me: Old Huo, look at that.

After he said that, I looked over and saw that the iron frame on the ground, which was originally several dozen meters high, was actually a shopping mall sign. It was now standing upright with more than half of it inserted into the ground! There was a circle of light strips on the upper edge of the sign... I remembered it as soon as I saw it. This location is a business district not far from my home, and this plaque is the sign of the largest shopping mall in the business district, called Tianhaicheng Shopping Mall. The radical of the word "Hai" was broken after it fell down, and now it has become "Meicheng Shopping Mall".

He shouted to me, "Old Huo, look, that piece of ruins is the former Tianhai City Department Store, right?"

I nodded and said yes. It should be the former Tianhaicheng Department Store. I had the impression that the department store was huge, with more than ten floors inside. On the top was a movie theater and a leisure and entertainment video game world, and below that were various sports brand clothing and fashion brand clothing. Then on the next floor were various brand bags, home furnishings, electrical appliances, computers, sports equipment, etc. However, these had no interest for a otaku like me. I only remember coming to the basement floor here to buy fresh fruits, milk, cold drinks and other goods.

Lin Lin bewitched me and advised: Old Huo, there must be valuable things in there. Let's go over and take a look. We can go back to your house after we're done, okay?

After hearing what he said, I suddenly became interested. It's so cool to think about buying something for free on the last day. Well, let's go to Tianhaicheng Shopping Mall to find out!

The obstacle ahead blocked our riding path. We looked around and saw that there was no one around. I temporarily put the bike back in my own space, and then the two of us stepped onto the top of the ruins of the shopping mall.

After we came up, we found that there was nothing valuable except the ruins, at least not on the surface. I said, if there were good things on the surface, would it be our turn to pick them up so long after the earthquake?

But Lin Lin refused to give up. He insisted that he had been to this shopping mall before and had seen many gold shops, watch shops, and many valuable items on the first floor. If the two of us searched carefully, we might be able to find valuable gold.

I blamed you and said, you also said the things are on the first floor, but this big shopping mall has more than ten floors. We will be exhausted by the time we get to the first floor.

Lin Lin said unconvincedly that there was no guarantee that there would be anything useful upstairs.

But looking at the endless ruins and rubble, I felt that even if I had enough space, I would not be able to move an inch, because all the rubble of the houses were connected by steel bars. How could I possibly store the rubble of a steel building in space?

Unable to stand Lin Lin's persistence, I used the space to move some rubble without steel bars. The roof itself was made of glass, and below was a viewing area and several large cinemas. Lin Lin dug out a smashed popcorn machine, and I went over to help him turn over some more rubble and saw the flattened cat-eye ticket machine. Then I found two bottles of well-packaged drinks from a pile of broken bottles in the beverage machine next to the popcorn machine, but they were probably expired after so many days of exposure to the sun.

I took the opportunity to persuade them that we should leave first.

Seeing this scene, Lin Lin could only sigh and say okay.

I took out the motorcycle from the space again, took Lin Lin with me, started the car and drove straight to my neighborhood!

I finally returned to the place I am familiar with. It was from this street that our family was led to Shengbin Base by our superiors and volunteers who came to rescue us. Time flies, and more than two months have passed so quickly.

At this moment, I could clearly see the ruins of my supermarket. I couldn't help getting excited and ran straight to the ruins of the supermarket. I didn't even bother to put the motorcycle away because I saw other people wandering nearby, so I left the motorcycle not far away.

The person I met was a man in ragged clothes, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, with an untidy beard and an unattractive appearance.

The big brother spoke with a country accent. He stared at us curiously and asked us where we were from.

Although I was too lazy to pay attention to him, I still perfunctorily said that I just came over to take a look. This was the supermarket I used to run, and I wanted to see if I could take some things out of the supermarket. I expressed my thoughts very frankly.

The big brother was quite enthusiastic and reminded us that we couldn't put anything else there. He then told us that there were always people coming here to look for things during this period. Your supermarket is only two stories high and even if it collapsed there wouldn't be much shelter so it would be relatively easy to search. People passing by would have already taken away everything inside.

I nodded to show that I understood.

Seeing that I was indifferent, my brother turned around and left, leaving behind a few words: Then you just try your luck.

After saying goodbye to the big brother who was passing by, Lin Lin and I stood on the top of the ruins of my supermarket. Indeed, the ruins of our supermarket had been dug up very clearly, and almost all the debris of the goods inside had been taken away.

I sighed and thought to myself that what the elder brother said was right, there was indeed nothing left.

Suddenly Lin Lin held me down and told me to wait a minute as he had some special feelings.

After he said that, I also had a feeling. We both could feel that under the ruins of my supermarket, it seemed like something was calling our neurons.

We looked at each other and nodded, following our feelings to find out the truth. The place that resonated with us was exactly where my grandfather and I used to eat. I clearly remember that when the earthquake happened, my grandfather and I were sitting here eating and then it collapsed...

We dug up the rubble and found nothing there, so it must be somewhere deeper, under the foundation of the house!

Because of the current road conditions in the city, you must have a shovel or an engineer shovel to repair the road conditions, so these tools have become necessities in my space and are placed in the space tool grid. Seeing that there is no one around, I took out two shovels and started digging with Lin Lin!

There is cement under the foundation of the house, which is not easy to dig. I took out the hammer again and chiseled off this layer of cement. Fortunately, the building is low and the foundation is not very deep. After knocking the cement, there was soil underneath. We continued to dig the soil underneath. I was sweating all over after working for a while. I couldn't help but think that it would be great if Feicui came. She is so strong that she is suitable for this kind of manual labor.

God helps those who work hard, we finally dug a hole half a person's height. The deeper we dug, the stronger we both felt the urge to come into contact with the things below!

We dug from morning to afternoon, and during that time, some people passed by and asked us what we were doing. I said this was my old supermarket, what's your business? The scattered passers-by saw us doing this, still holding big shovels in our hands, and they all left in dismay. Some of them who stayed behind watched us for a long time, and when they saw that we were not done digging, they thought we were sick, and gradually went home.

After digging to the end, a hole was finally found, and at the bottom of the hole was a transparent diamond-shaped crystal!
