Chapter 35 Aftershocks


    ''If I hadn''te to help you at a right time at that Taxing Gang incident, you would have died. But you


    had risked your life again and again for the job.


    After all, you put money first, which was simr to that woman!''


    What Joy said under the anger was still heard by Jimmy. Jimmy thought in his heart angrily. ''You meant


    to say that I treated you as a ve.


    Hum, you was really straightforward. If I treated you as a ve, did you still think that you could still live


    such a free and easy life?''


    Outside the tent, the wind was strong, but the temperature was very high. Somehow, Joy felt a little


    cold, which was a kind of cold from the inside of her body.


    Joy put her long hair messed up by the wind behind her ears and stood quietly in the wind, waiting for


    Jimmy to speak. But five minutester, Jimmy still didn''t say a word.


    Looking at the flickering on the screen, Joy wondered whether Jimmy was too angry to speak.


    "Okay, it''s up to you whether youe back or not!"


    Jimmy just said a sentence after a long time.


    Joy stared nkly at the mobile phone that was still on call. After a bitter smile, she pressed the hang-


    up key. After taking a deep breath, she walked into the tent.


    Hearing the sound of "hang-up", Jimmy''s tall and straight figure froze. Looking at the screen of his


    mobile phone, which showed that the phone was hung up, Jimmy could not believe it. He even


    confirmed it again and again, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.


    But the fact was that no matter how hard Jimmy didn''t believe it, the phone was hung up.


    ''Joy, how dare you hang up on me? You''re the first one. Although you dare to do it, you don''t dare to


    bear the corresponding consequence.''


    Jimmy''s face was full of gloom. He threw the phone against the wall, and with a "p" sound, the


    phone was separated and fell to the ground.


    When Joy entered the tent, Amy woke up and sat on the bed, lost in thought. She didn''t even know that


    Joy hade back.


    "Amy, I''m sorry. I woke you up." Joy thought Amy was awakened by her and felt a little sorry.


    Hearing Joy''s voice, Amy came to her senses, turned around and nced at her. Amy didn''t say


    anything and went back to sleep.


    However, Joy was confused. ''What happened to Amy? I just went out to answer a phone call. Why did


    it seem that Amy was a little cold to me when I came back?''


    Thinking of this and not figuring it out, Joy went to bed with her slippers. But when shey down and


    closed her eyes, she saw Jimmy''s cold face in her mind, which couldn''t be waved away for a long time.


    Ten minutester, Joy fell asleep.


    But tonight, there were two people who couldn''t fall asleep. One was Amy, and the other was Jimmy.


    Jimmy thought for the whole night in the study room and smoked.


    The second morning, before dawn, Amy woke up Joy, who was still sleeping, in order to get some food


    from a nearby canteen of victims to fill their hunger, lest they had to wait in line to get it when they were


    But when they got there, they found that there were already a lot of people inside. Those people


    gathered and discussed in groups.


    Joy and Amy were confused. ''Why were they talking about instead of waiting in line for food?''


    The noises were too loud to hear clearly what they were talking about, so Joy and Amy didn''t listen to


    them. Instead, they went straight to the window of the canteen to get breakfast.


    However, the staff of the canteen told them an unfortunate news, "Because the disaster area is too


    those who have just been rescued and in urgent need of food."


    When the two of them heard the news, they were a little stunned, but then relieved. They were in good


    health, and it didn''t matter if they didn''t have one or two meals, but the injured had to eat.


    So the two of them left, turned back to their tents, took the equipment and rushed to the relief site.


    Unfortunately, when Joy and Amy arrived at the relief site, it rained heavily. The rain was so heavy that


    it hurt people.


    But the rescue work wouldn''t stop because of the heavy rain. Every rescue worker and every armed


    police were rescuing the injured in the rain.


    The rain was so heavy that it was difficult for people to move on the ruins. The injured had just been


    rescued, but the blood all over their bodies was washed away in the next second. The blood fell down


    to the ground along the rain. A few minutester, the ground was full of blood, which was thrilling.


    The ground was too slippery, the stretcher personnel fell, and the injured were also thrown to the


    ground. But the stretchers personnel didn''t care about the cut on their bodies. They put the injured on


    the stretcher again and carried him away.


    Seeing this, Joy tapped lightly with her finger and pressed the camera''s shutter.


    It was not until noon that the sky gradually cleared up. However, before people could be happy for this,


    there was something strange from the ground.


    All of a sudden, Joy felt the ground began to shake. She couldn''t stand the violent shake and fell to the


    ground due to her unsteady center of gravity.


    The sound of "buzzing" came one after another. Then, Joy heard the loud sound of the solid falling to


    the ground, but she did note back to her senses from the shaking.


    "The aftershocks areing again. Get out of the ruins."


    Hearing the scream, Joy finally came to her senses and realized that it was a sign of aftershock. She


    slowly stood up, bent over and staggered.


    ''By the way, where is Amy? Where is Amy?''


    Joy looked for Amy in panic, but there were too many people running, so it was difficult for her to find


    Amy.


    "Joy..." Amy shouted at Joy when she saw Joy in the distance.


    Hearing the scream and seeing Amy, Joy ran towards Amy.


    Amy stood at the foot of a building that was more than half tilted. Her foot was stuck by the ruins under


    her body. No matter how hard she tried, she could do nothing.


    Joy ran to Amy side and saw Amy clearly. Without hesitation, Joy put her feet at Amy''s feet, pulled


    Amy''s feet and tried to pull them out, but in vain.


    The broken building above the two of them was still slowly descending, and the sound of "click" was


    getting louder and louder.


    Seeing the building approaching them, Amy widened her eyes, lowered her head and pushed Joy


    away, shouting to let Joy run away.


    However, when Joy was pushed down by Amy, Joy immediately got up and approached Amy again,


    trying to pull Amy''s foot out. However, the stuck foot of Amy seemed to be tightly tied, and no matter


    how hard Joy tried, they didn''t move at all.
