TISMML Chapter 88.1

“Zhang Tao! I’ve always thought that guy was a scoundrel!”

Unable to sleep, and with the surroundings too quiet, everyone couldn’t help but whisper among themselves, trying to distract themselves.

The man who was tied up obviously became a good topic of conversation.

“Yeah, didn’t his wife divorce him last month?”

“Huh? When did that happen? How come I didn’t know!”

“He said his wife felt they weren’t spending enough time together, but who knows what really happened?”

…

Ignoring the gossip, Nan Yu didn’t take the man seriously. The reason she acted so openly was also to make him an example.

The way the ropes binding Zhang Tao were tied up was specially taught to her by her instructor in her previous life, and it was impossible for him to untie them on his own.

After she finished everything and came back, she leaned closer to Fei Yizheng and said, “Tell me directly if there’s anyone else acting strange.”

She seemed ready to tie people up one by one.

Fei Yizheng: “…Pfft.”

Even though the future was uncertain and the situation seemed dire, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

How could Nan Yu be so cute?

Yeah, even now, the expression on her face that said ‘Is this person stupid? What’s so funny?’ was quite cute.

Although that expression was directed at himself.

“Okay.” Fei Yizheng nodded, suppressing his laughter.

Then the area fell silent again. The three children, unable to resist the overwhelming drowsiness, had fallen into a deep sleep. The adults exchanged glances but said nothing more.

After a while, Nan Yu took out her phone again.

Still no signal. It was 5:31 AM.

It had been almost three hours since the earthquake occurred.

If things were normal, there should be some light outside, but because they were buried underground, Nan Yu and the others couldn’t see it for the time being.

If it weren’t for the emergency lights in the shelter that didn’t require electricity, this place would probably be completely dark.

Darkness makes it easier for people to have bad thoughts.

—Let’s give Butler Li a raise once this is resolved.

He clearly hadn’t skimped on the shelter’s facilities just because they weren’t usually needed.

Nan Yu, lost in thought, silently took out a piece of bread and ate it little by little with water. After confirming she was half-full, she was about to half-close her eyes and rest when the third aftershock struck.

The entire shelter began to shake again.

Everyone huddled together in terror, squeezed into the corner, their eyes fixed on the vulnerable spots.

Boom—

A small section couldn’t withstand the force and collapsed completely.

Fortunately, the people who were nearby reacted quickly and escaped injury except for minor abrasions.

“Woo, woo…”

Soft sobs began again.

The time of living in constant fear was truly agonizing.

Even though only a few hours had passed, it felt like several days had gone by, and everyone was on edge, not knowing when their nerves would snap.

“Why aren’t President Nan and the others here yet?”

Even if they weren’t rescued immediately, just hearing the sounds of people outside would be helpful.

Boom—

Another loud noise.

But this time it wasn’t a collapse; it was thunder.

Despair crossed many faces. 

Thunder meant that it was raining.

If it rained, would the rescue team still be able to get here?

What if there were a few aftershocks before they arrived? 

This place might not be safe.

“Woo, woo, I want to go home.”

“My wife and kids are waiting for me.”

“I still have 30,000 yuan in my bank account; I should have spent it first.”

Nan Yu: “…”

She reflexively looked at Fei Yizheng. She wasn’t good at this kind of calming-down work, so she decided to leave it to Fei Yizheng.

As a former group boss, Nan Yu believed that Fei Yizheng was good at making empty promises.

Fei Yizheng was helpless; he understood what Nan Yu meant.

If they let everyone continue like this, it certainly won’t work. Who knows what people might do when they’re desperate?

At a time like this, even the slightest unnecessary disruption could lead to unpredictable and disastrous consequences.
