When the two of them came out from under the sink, it was as if they were wearing clothes made out a layer of dust.
“I’m so scared, I almost thought I was going to die!”
Laura patted her chest and said, “But if I’m with you, I’m willing…”
As she said that, her face blushed gradually.
Bruce just smiled faintly. “You’d better go down quickly. This building is already tilted, and there might be aftershocks. It’s not safe for you to stay here.”
“Then you should go with me.”
Laura said.
“I won’t go out. And no matter where I go, this will happen. This is the effect of learning magic.”
“Magic itself is a violation of nature’s laws. And I’m learning God-level magic, so I’ll be hunted down by all kinds of mages. Maybe this earthquake is the work of that mage. You don’t have to care about me. You better leave quickly.”
Bruce said so much that he almost believed it. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t say anything about the system, he would have simply believed himself.
Although Laura still didn’t dare to believe it, she immediately reacted when she thought of the interview.
“Then you have to be careful on your own. I still need you!”
Laura looked at Bruce with deep affection and said.
“Okay, okay, okay. You should go quickly.”
Bruce was a little depressed. ‘If she wanted to leave, then just leave. Why did she have to be so emotional.’
He could not bear to see such a sad thing.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point rewarded! “
..
Following that, the area where Bruce was located was being reported on the news.
“In recent days… There have been two consecutive earthquakes. The previous one was a 5.1 magnitude earthquake, and this time it was a 7 magnitude earthquake. All are to be prepared for the earthquake. The president has appealed… ”
Not only the TV station, but also the netizens started to complain crazily.
“An earthquake? And two consecutive earthquakes! Such a scary thing! I wonder if the people who live there are safe and sound?”
“Do we need to do something? I’ll take the lead to cheer them up. I hope they can overcome this difficulty as soon as possible.”
“I originally planned to go there for a vacation, but now it seems like I really should forget about it. If I were to proceed with it, I’m just an idiot!”
“I heard that there was a fire in a building, and then an earthquake the day before, then there was another earthquake today. The building seemed like it cannot withstand anymore, it has become the Leaning Tower of Pisa. have any of you seen it?”
There were all kinds of crazy comments online, but Bruce didn’t seem to care about this matter.
After he turned on his phone, he didn’t notice any important message.
‘Perhaps we should say that, to them, the earthquake was just something to look at. In reality, no one would care about our lives.’
However, this matter quickly became something of the past.
This was because of the building that Bruce was living in.
The construction of this community was not too recent. It had even been reinforced once. However, facing this 7 magnitude earthquake, the building was already at the verge of collapsing. It was obviously not in accordance with the building regulations.
Therefore, Aurora planned to bring the community workers and other residents to discuss with the developer on this matter.
During this period, Bruce never left the house.
Just this matter alone, his simple refusal had already gained him 5 points.
The next day.
Bruce heard a sound coming from the system.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for overcoming the C-rank house-leaving crisis. 5 points are rewarded!”
‘So fast?’
‘In other words, the earthquake had completely passed.’
He had completely overcome the crisis this time.
It was just that he could no longer stay in this building. He might have to move out as soon as possible.
At this moment.
“Mr. Bruce!”
A voice that came from downstairs attracted him to the window.
Bruce heard this voice for the first time. He did not know who it was.
When Bruce stood by the window, he realized that it was full of people.
‘What are these people doing?’
“Mr. Bruce, I’m a police officer. This building is in danger. Come down quickly! We have arranged a new location with the community. You can come back after this place is repaired.”
The police officers were outside the red line. Bruce looked closer. It turned out that there were some neighbors from before.
However, there was no sign of Annie. But then again, the two of them had already informed each other through text messages.
She planned to go back and live in the school. Although she was very reluctant to part with Bruce, there was nothing she could do about it. Of course, Bruce agreed with her.
After all, school was important.
“I’m not going. You can take them there.” After saying that, Bruce planned to go back to his room.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point is rewarded!”
“Wait a minute. It’s completely free over there. There are three meals provided and also people taking care of you. You’ll definitely like it there!”
After the police saw this situation, they immediately spoke up again.
To be honest, shelters like these were rarely arranged by the government. If it wasn’t for the fact that the developers were afraid that something will happen again, they wouldn’t bother about these homeless people. And yet now they provide three meals a day.
It was simply a perfect resort. Even the police wanted to stay there for a while.
“If I say I’m not going, I’m not.”
Bruce said again.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis.1 point is rewarded!”
When the residents downstairs saw this situation, they were very puzzled.
“What’s wrong with this Bruce? Ever since he resigned, he has never left the house. Although he is indeed worthy of praise for his firefighting act, at this time, there’s no need to put on a brave front.”
“I think so too. Otherwise, I feel like he did it on purpose. or else, there’s something valuable in the house…”
“Then maybe there’s more valuable items. He doesn’t even want to leave the house. It’s really strange that he only wants to stay at home. Isn’t there food being served there? Isn’t someone going to take care of him? Why is he still staying in this dangerous building?”
“I think it’s because there’s something shameful going on at home, that’s why he doesn’t dare to come out. It’s entirely possible that he’s the one who staged the whole fire incident!”
The neighbors were discussing animatedly. Bruce, who had a physique which exceeded that of a normal person, heard everything clearly.
It was really ridiculous. It was getting more and more exaggerating.
But Bruce didn’t care at all. He didn’t need to explain.
He only needed points.
He didn’t care what the others thought.
When the police saw this, they didn’t say anything more.
“Leave this matter to me. I can definitely solve it!”
At this moment, Aurora stood out from the crowd and said to the neighbors, “Bruce isn’t what all of you are thinking! I’ll get him to move. You guys should leave this place quickly, leave the rest to me!”
After saying that, Aurora strode into the dangerous building under everyone’s shocked eyes!
