"No, Uncle Meng, I'm going to Yishi too." Tang Yue said firmly, "Sister An Yu might be in Yishi, I want to see it for myself and see if there's anything I can help with."
"No, it's too dangerous in Yishi." Meng Jin refused without a second thought. The earthquake in Yishi was a massive one, the damage it caused was unpredictable, who knows if there would be aftershocks?
And from here to the center of Yishi, it's all by foot, what if something happens on the way?
How would he explain it to his own son?
Although they hadn't married yet, in Meng Jin's heart, Tang Yue was already his daughter-in-law.
Meng Jin's company enlisted their own people, while Mo Siyu, along with Li Wei and others who previously worked in the fleet, and the Qin family members were looking for their family's fleet and Qin Anyu.
"Uncle Meng, I have already decided to go." Tang Yue said earnestly. She turned to Lian Qingyang and said, "Qingyang, let's go."
Tang Yue knew they would have to walk to Yishi and with the weather getting hotter, she only brought two sets of clothes to change into and wore a pair of particularly comfortable sneakers.
Lian Qingyang carried more things on his back, including food, clothing, and other necessities. Nobody knew the situation in Yishi, so it was better to be over-prepared than under-prepared.
Lian Qingyang, who usually trained a lot, could handle the weight.
"Tang Yue." Seeing Tang Yue determined to go, Meng Jin felt helpless but said, "Come with us, at least there's someone to look out for you on the way."
It was early in the morning, just when the sky started to brighten. The road to Yishi, washed by the heavy rain, was exceptionally clear and carried a hint of chill.
"Thank you, Uncle Meng."
Tang Yue said with a smile, not foolish enough to refuse. Being with Meng Jin and the others would certainly be safer.
But soon, Tang Yue could not smile anymore. In her previous life, she didn't know if there was an earthquake in Yishi, but when such a scene appeared before her, her eyes also filled with a heavier sense.
In the face of natural disasters, human strength is indeed minuscule.
"Sister Xiao Yue, maybe you should go back." Lian Qingyang, a grown man, found it easier to say this. He was worried that seeing this would cast a shadow in Tang Yue's heart, wondering how she would cope if she had nightmares at night?
From the outskirts to the edge of Yishi city, collapsed buildings and crying victims were everywhere.
Quite a few bloodstained people were dug out, even Lian Qingyang felt nauseous looking at them, not to mention Tang Yue, a girl.
"No, if I don't find Sister An Yu, I won't go back." Tang Yue's tone was firm. She came here to find out about Qin Anyu's situation, and she wouldn't leave if she couldn't find her.
"Sister Xiao Yue, let me stay and look for Sister An Yu. I promise to find her, isn't that enough?" Lian Qingyang held Tang Yue's hand, walking deeper into the city, fearing the situation would worsen, still unaware of Qin Anyu's condition, could Xiao Yue handle it if something had actually happened?
"No, Qingyang, I will find her myself." Tang Yue was very stubborn about this, and though it was a disaster area, she believed she could stay safe if she was careful enough.
Once they entered Yishi, Tang Yue and Lian Qingyang separated from Meng Jin; Meng Jin needed to rescue others and couldn't spare anyone to stay with Tang Yue. Originally, they wanted someone to accompany her, but Tang Yue firmly refused; one person, after all, could save quite a few others, while tagging along with her could hinder those efforts.
Along the way, Tang Yue and Lian Qingyang stopped sporadically to lend a hand where needed, sometimes offering a bottle of water or some food.
By the time they reached downtown, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the food they brought was all given away.
"Sister An Yu." Tang Yue staggered when she saw the ruins. After asking many survivors, hearing that this was Xingyao Clothing, Tang Yue's legs went weak.
Lian Qingyang quickly supported Tang Yue, saying, "Sister Xiao Yue, maybe, maybe Sister An Yu isn't inside."
