Chapter 12 - Earthquake (2)

The earthquake startled everyone and in this supermarket, the high pitch scream of a woman could be heard.

"Aaaaaaaa!"

The shelves were shaken and fallen one after another. Yu Shi Lan held the support pillar as she crochet down and used her other hand to protect her head. This was probably the safest place for her for the time being.

While it was safer to stay outside during an earthquake… she didn't want to stay outside in this cold wind and possibly bumped with many people.

Moreover, there will be that strange rain that will affect health and also changed some things. She didn't want to touch those water for the time being and possibly fall sick. 

So she picked the place that will remain intact based on her memory. 

This mall was chosen after careful consideration.

There were enough spaces in the supermarket for her to stay. As long as she was careful enough, she would be fine. 

But the shaking was indeed very bad.

'Damn it!'

Yu Shi Lan looked at the shelves in front of her that passed by her and felt that it was really dangerous.

Right now, she's not a cultivator yet and only a weak young girl.

Even if she has learned some meditation technique and has some Qi, but her body was too weak.

Bang!

After a lot of shaking, things finally stopped and Yu Shi Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Right now, the mall is a mess and many items were scattered around the floor. The electricity was also interrupted and half of the supermarket was dark. The remaining light was far from enough to lit up the place. 

Yu Shi Lan looked at it and she whispered, "I'm sorry."

She didn't really want to steal, but Yu Shi Lan knew very well that these resources would be extremely valuable in the future. She picked some food, drinks, and some household supplies secretly as she made her way to the entrance.

"It's blocked by the tables, but it should be possible to clean them up soon." The security guard was the closest to the escalator and frowned when he looked at it. As for the elevator, he didn't dare to hope.

The electricity was interrupted and it might have some problems.

They should figure out a way to escape from this place first. 

"What? I want to get out!" A female customer looked like she was about to cry and made a fuss immediately. She came here just to buy some snacks, so how could her life be so miserable and ended up being trapped in this supermarket?

The staff frowned and looked up too. "Let's wait until tomorrow to move it… I'll stay in the staff's lounge on the back."

The staff felt a bit depressed when he thought that he was the only one on duty tonight and everyone else had come back. Just because he agreed to close the supermarket and clean it up at night, everyone chose to leave first.

Now, it's great.

"No! I want to get out now!"

"There's a big table blocking the escalator and who knows how many things over there? I don't have the strength to push it out." The staff was unconcerned and walked away without hesitation. 

Such a big earthquake, he was sure that the entire city would have been devastated.

Just looking at how messy this supermarket is, the other places would not be much better.

This was already late at night and as long as they could survive for the night, tomorrow they could get out. 

"But…"

"Shut up!"
