Pure Darkness

Pure Darkness
Chapter 128



Fang Qing was in the middle of the mountain when he heard the sound of an explosion. He raised his slippery face due to the rain and looked further up the mountain slope, where the flames reached the sky. He had no time to think about it carefully before a series of quick explosions rang out, from far to near, and the entire mountain slope caught fire.


Oi! I am an article!


“Down!” he shouted, and led his team to plop down to the ground.


Explosions exploded continuously, and appeared to have occurred at several locations on the mountainside. Right now, the rain was still fluttering in the bucket, and it felt as if the entire world only consisted of the sound of a bang, signaling the imminent coming of disaster.


Oi! I am an article!


His face and mouth were full of muddy water, Fang Qing stared at the explosive flames all over the mountain slope. Suddenly, his mind reached consciousness.


He remembered what An Yan had said earlier: because geologists had predicted an enormous landslide in the mountains around the city of Pu Luo , the entire county seat has been moved elsewhere.


He also recalled the reply of the geologists they had consulted specifically before arriving at this place: the geological condition of Pu Luo was very bad. Although the prediction of large-scale mountain landslides has not occurred in 60 years, every day, the likelihood of it occurring increases. . .


“Not good!” Fang Qing jumped off the ground and looked at the houses scattered under the mountain. He shouted, “Quickly, we have to save the residents and get them all out of here!”


Oi! I am an article!


He took out a satellite phone from his pocket and quickly relayed his concerns and suspicions to the command center, also suggesting that they make evacuation and withdrawal their immediate priority. After hanging up the phone, he was the first to run towards the houses!


——


You know, at the same time, the two of us, very different, might find ourselves in a completely different world.


You sit still under the bright lights, I run wild in the darkness and the rain.


Beijing, the broadcasting studio of several famous television stations.


Jin Xiaozhe, the queen of film and television who has long been known for her dedication to her craft, is currently participating in a live broadcast of a variety show. Since the time is not well-regulated, live broadcast viewing will most likely be delayed until early morning.


At this moment, the night was silent and quiet, but the lights were shining brightly. Jin Xiaozhe sat backstage, looking gentle and refined, yet with a distant demeanor. He was scheduled to go on stage in ten minutes. Through the door there were spectators and fans who were still excited and excited despite it being late at night.


However, it was clear to his manager and assistant that something was amiss with Jin Xiaozhe's state of mind today. He sat in his place, looking as if his mind was somewhere else, even though this was the time to practice his dialogue. His fingers continued to flip the jade beads on his wrists while repeatedly looking at the clock on the wall.


“Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?” the manager asked in a low voice.


“No.” Jin Xiaozhe once again stared at his phone. He has not received any calls.


Of course he won't take a phone call tonight. The night before, Fang Qing called her, told her that there would be a major operation tonight, and asked her not to wait for her phone. He laughed in reply, he will have an important job tonight as well, when does he have time to worry about it?


He doesn't lie; it's one of the top-ranked variety shows across the country. By appearing on this show, she will only be an item over ‘panas’.


However, for no reason, he felt somewhat uneasy the entire day.


What is this feeling? He kept feeling that something bad was going to happen. But he doesn't know for sure what it is.


“Teacher Jin, you have to get on stage now,” said a program staff member, a big smile on his face as he delivered the invitation.


His manager immediately smiled answering, “Oke, direct.” He lowered his head to look at Jin Xiaozhe and asked, “Are you sure you can do it? Is everything okay?” Jin Xiaozhe took a deep breath and stood up. “I'm fine,” he said. His manager extended his hand to his phone, which he usually hung for him. This time, in an unprecedented move, he stuffed the phone into his pocket, as if he had forgotten his routine, but also on purpose. However, it was too late to say anything, as the staff member now escorted Jin Xiaozhe to the stage.


As he walked along the dark passageway, Jin Xiaozhe took a few deep breaths, willing to put all thoughts of Fang Qing behind the stove for now. She had never been someone who acted impulsively When the stage lights were on and applause rumbled around her, she put on her well-trained gentle and beautiful expression, with just a touch of coolness in her smile. In his eyes and mind, there was only this stage.


——


“We are the police! Down mountain! Follow us down the mountain now! Get the fuck out of here! There will be a landslide!” Fang Qing and the other police officers shouted.


All the citizens went into a panic, but they still wanted to bring some items, so they needed time to leave. When Fang Qing saw this, he blew on his boss and roared, “There is no time! Go!” They were still reluctant to leave their homes, so Fang Qing and his men had to drag them by force.


The sound of the explosion gradually stopped, flames raged all over the mountain slope, and the rain fell more heavily, making it difficult to distinguish other sounds. However, Fang Qing could faintly hear a series of rumbling sounds coming from the mountain.


Is that a landslide?


Was the landslide predicted 60 years ago?


Will it arrive after the destruction of all the armory and ammunition of the Buddha Hand?


What are those crazy masked killers doing? Fang Qing felt a burning fire of anger within him. He grabbed one of the residents and shouted, “Is there anyone else on the mountain slope? Have they all been evacuated?”


Trembling, the resident pointed to the side and said, “Kuil. . . just now, when the explosion started, two families ran to the temple. .”


Fang Qing cursed loudly, pushing the citizens aside and looking at the dilapidated temple not far away. If a landslide really hit them, the temple would be instantly destroyed! He told his men, “You take them down the mountain first, I'll get another one from the temple.” As soon as he finished speaking, he ran over without hesitation.


Is there light in the temple? As Fang Qing dashed in, with the light of his torch, he saw the entire floor covered in water — rain had seeped in from the rickety roof. Although the temple was small and narrow, the roof was high. Several statues of Buddha were damaged and decorated with spider webs loomed over them in the darkness. His sharp ears and eyes gave off faint rustling sounds and an indistinct figure, but he could not hear or see them clearly.


Fang Qing immediately shouted, “I'm a cop. Currently, the police had taken control of the entire city of Pu Luo . Landslides will happen anytime, you have to get out now! Follow me down the mountain! Otherwise, the consequences would be too dire to think about! Fast!”


After a moment of silence, the rustling grew louder, and someone asked hesitantly, “Are you really a cop?”


Fang Qing said, “Ya! Le's go! Quickly quickly! I'll guarantee your safety! ”


Eventually, several people gradually emerged from the darkness. Fang Qing shone his torches at them; almost all of them were weak parents and small children, so he was unable to find himself to be angry. He just gently urged them, “Let's go, quick! Come with me!” At the same time, he took off his raincoat and covered it with his old grandfather and granddaughter.


They started moving out, one by one. Fang Qing stood at the back to ensure their safety.


At this moment.


At this moment.


Rumbled.


It was a kind of aggressive and ferocious voice that could not be described with words. If you've heard it yourself, you'll know it's the horrible, oppressive sound that nature makes when nature destroys everything. Hearing that, the citizens were immediately shocked. Fang Qing's eyes widened in an instant. Even a brave man like him was numb for a moment.


“Running!” he roars! Behind the temple is a steep mountain ridge that provides no protection at all.


People woke up from their fainting and frantically ran out! There was the sound of pressure exerted on the roof of the temple and the peng peng of something that continuously hit the roof! What is coming?!


Those who had already fled outside looked at Fang Qing and the people who were lost behind who had just dashed out of the door. Suddenly, a child slipped and fell and began to cry loudly. Fang Qing's footsteps instantly came to a halt. As a cop, some of his actions and reactions were purely based on instinct. Just like the year before, in Ke Qian's little house, when she caught An Yan and threw the two of them out of the door based on her sharp sense of hearing and instinct. Both survived because of that. It's the same now. His brain was still unable to give a proper reaction when his body started moving. He caught the boy and threw him out of the door with all his strength.


That was the last millisecond.


The boy had just flown out of the door when he heard a fierce roar from all directions, like a great flood crashing towards them. He saw the roof beams of the temple collapse in a split second, as if it was just a shattered wooden block of toys, and fall towards him.
