“Rabbits have three burrows, let alone him,” Qin Lang said, taking over the conversation with a resolute glance and a clenched fist, “But sooner or later, we will catch him to avenge those ordinary folk and women he has desecrated!”
Jiang Yan gave him a sidelong glance, feigning curiosity, “Qin Lang, you seem to know quite a bit.”
This warrior, whom she had met less than five minutes ago, was able to speak of Jiang Ye’s background as well as Xue Miaomiao’s whereabouts. It was as if many things had unfolded right under his watch.
The latter, realizing that he had gotten somewhat overwhelmed, took a deep breath and said:
“Miss Jiang, you jest. We are merely informed of a thing or two by Leader Mo’s side. Since Miss Jiang is someone Leader Mo values highly, we haven’t held back anything. Myself, Kong Wu, and Brother Song are all entirely trustworthy to you.”
“What does it mean to be someone Leader Mo values?” Ye Qing, Su Dai, and Sun Jingtao all looked at Jiang Yan in unison upon hearing this.
Jiang Yan could only chuckle awkwardly, “It’s a long story. I’ll find an opportunity to explain it to you later.”
The catastrophe they faced was actually triggered by a meteorological war. Jiang Yan still hoped that either Mo Jingsheng or the officials would be better suited to explain it to them.
After all, it involved state secrets, some things were not hers to decide.
However, she believed that when the time was right, Mo Jingsheng would likely inform them as well.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically chosen a few familiar companions for her.
“Jiang Yan?” Ye Qing looked at her, about to speak yet holding back, as if waiting for an answer.
Jiang Yan just smiled and had to say, “It’s related to disaster response, nothing else.”
The former uttered an “Oh,” and his furrowed brow relaxed slightly.
The train continued moving forward, and after enduring the cold wind for a good while, their lips finally began to tremble from the cold.
“We should close the window; I’m afraid we’ll become ice sculptures before we even reach East Mountain,” Su Dai said, rising to her feet.
This comment lightened the mood of those present.
They quickly closed the window and sat back down at the table.
Kong Wu, well-accustomed to the place, took several bottles of water from a locked cabinet nearby and handed them out:
“It’s still early before we reach East Mountain. Have a drink first.”
With Song Qian absent, he inadvertently took the initiative.
Jiang Yan looked at him and then at Qin Lang, “Kong Wu, you and Qin Lang both look young. Did you train during the same period?”
“Qin Lang and I are both orphans. But fortunately, we were adopted by the Mo Family at a young age and grew up with Leader Mo. Later, we trained together.
Actually, Brother Song Qian is roughly the same, though he is older than us and his experiences differ slightly. But we are all utterly loyal to Leader Mo.”
After hearing this, Su Dai stared wide-eyed for a second, “This sounds like a plot from an ancient drama series. I didn’t expect it to happen in real life.”

“That’s right,” Kong Wu replied with a hint of pride.
Sun Jingtao chuckled at his wife, “Just because you don’t know about something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”
Jiang Yan quite agreed with this statement.
She had just unscrewed the bottle and took a sip when a sudden “boom” came from ahead.
The train, moving swiftly, came to a screeching halt. Simultaneously, dust, loose soil, and rocks started falling all around them.
The train windows, made of bulletproof glass, now bore fine cracks.
“What the—” they all stood up in unison at the sudden event.
“My God! An earthquake?!” Su Dai cried out in panic.
They were, after all, 101 floors underground.
If it was indeed an earthquake, they were doomed to their graves!
Qin Lang rose rapidly to his feet, cautiously pressed his face against the glass to look, “No, it’s a tunnel collapse ahead!! Our train is made of a special material; if it’s a partial collapse, it should hold for a while!”
As his voice fell, “bang!” A giant rock fell from above, denting the roof.
“It seems the area of the collapse is quite extensive. Could it be the meteorite has fallen ahead of schedule?!” Sun Jingtao couldn’t help but gasp.
The few of them, who had survived severe earthquakes, tensed their muscles, ready to duck under the table.
“Damn it! When will these natural disasters ever end!”
Kong Wu couldn’t help but curse out loud, then glanced outside the window and brightened:
“Three meters away is a temporary shelter! The structure is even stronger than here, and there are some supplies. If we make it there, we might escape this calamity, or we might even manage to get to the surface!”
“Yes, the collapse won’t continue indefinitely. If we can get through this period, we have a chance to survive.”
“But the surface is all extreme cold temperatures, blizzards, and falling meteorites. Isn’t going up there also a death sentence?!” Su Dai’s expression was somewhat desperate.
Jiang Yan said nothing; her mind was racing.
Finding a way out to the surface, with her supply reserves, wasn’t a death sentence.
But if the collapse was total, and they were buried inside, this train was no different from a metal coffin!
So, leaving was better than staying.
“Let’s get out of here. Staying here will only lead to a more miserable death,” Ye Qing suggested calmly after his observation.
“Put on helmets and glasses, soak the masks, and cover your mouth and nose!”
Jiang Yan quickly took out several dust masks and a few pairs of night-vision, explosion-proof goggles from her backpack—actually from her Space—and handed them out to everyone.
