Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Many people shouted in despair
The energy of this earthquake was simply too immense.

Soon, the ground shook even more violently, and the swaying of the buildings grew more intense.

In an instant, one building after another collapsed!

At that moment, the entire sky turned gray, covered in dust so thick that even the rising sun disappeared from view!

One could say it was a remarkably dark day.

Meanwhile, many survivors wailed and screamed in despair.

At this moment, numerous survivors were trapped within the city.

This earthquake had struck without warning.

In such a short time, they found it nearly impossible to escape to open areas.

It was foreseeable that many people were being buried alive or injured by collapsing buildings at that very moment!

For the survivors, without a doubt, this was an immense catastrophe!

“What’s going on? How could such a massive earthquake happen all of a sudden?”

“Oh my god, why is this happening? How could there be an earthquake?”

At this moment, many people shouted in despair.

They were trapped inside city buildings, unable to flee.

As they saw the buildings on the verge of collapse, each and every one of them fell into complete despair.

They hadn’t even encountered a super tsunami yet, but they were about to die in the earthquake.

Despair!

Reluctance!

All sorts of emotions were suppressed in their hearts.

However, in the end, all were buried under millions of tons of steel and cement, leaving no trace of their bones.

No one saw it, and no one cared.

This wasn’t just happening in City 28!

This was an extremely rare super earthquake, affecting a wide area!

In fact, at this very moment, various places across Eastern Zone 8 were experiencing earthquakes almost simultaneously.

It’s just that some places felt the tremors slightly less, while others felt them quite intensely.

Many houses collapsed, turning cities into ruins!

And on the vast plains, deep and frightening cracks appeared in the ground, like canyons.

And they spread rapidly.

Countless huge rocks rolled down, or mountains simply crumbled and fell apart.

And in the distant sea, a strong energy was rapidly gathering and accumulating…

It was as if the end of days was imminent.

The situation was extremely serious and critical!

However, none of the survivors understood any of this.

They didn’t even know what they were about to face.

It was like a fragile boat in the sea, vulnerable and fragile.

…

Fortunately, not long after, this unprecedented earthquake finally subsided.

The world returned to calmness.

However, what came into view was an entirely different scene from before.

The entire city had turned into ruins.

Only a few relatively low-rise buildings hadn’t completely collapsed and were still half-standing.

There were broken concrete columns, torn steel frameworks, and mountains of rubble.

It gave a strong visual impact.

Many survivors stood at the edge of the debris, staring blankly at the scene before them, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

Many remained silent, their faces filled with fear and anxiety.

A few of them were relieved, wearing smiles of having survived the ordeal.

And some simply wailed in despair, completely broken!

“How could this happen?”

“Yeah, logically speaking, if such a massive disaster were to occur, wouldn’t the system have warned us in advance?!”

Mia and Olivia were still trembling, utterly perplexed.

This scene was too horrifying!

Alex’s expression was grim.

He never imagined such an earthquake would happen.

And of such magnitude.

After a moment of contemplation, Alex said, “This earthquake is incredibly massive. I estimate it’s at least magnitude 8 or higher, possibly even reaching magnitude 9!”

“Because it’s not just buildings; even the distant plains have suffered severe destruction, with the earth torn apart!”

Just now, Alex flew into the sky and saw the city and the situation in the distance clearly!

“Not only has the city become a ruin, but the earth has been torn apart by several deep and vast cracks and canyons!”

Alex continued, “The system did warn us. Don’t you remember? The system had previously warned us about an impending tsunami!”

“And tsunamis are generally related to earthquakes. In other words, a tsunami may not be far off from us!”

Upon hearing this, the two women looked at him in shock.

They asked, “So what should we do next? How do we get onto the Noah’s Ark?”

Alex pondered for a moment, then calmly replied, “Don’t panic. Let’s observe the situation for now.”

“As for how to board the Noah’s Ark, I believe the system will inform us when the tsunami truly arrives!”

At this moment, Alex’s mind was unusually calm.

“Yeah, that makes sense…”

Upon hearing this, the two women nodded slowly.

Alex’s reasoning was sound.

They had been too anxious before, not thinking things through completely.

“Brothers, does this super tsunami, massive earthquake mean that the end of the world is here?!”

“Haha, we’re already in the apocalypse, surrounded by zombies everywhere. This earthquake and tsunami only prove that the world has become even more terrifying than the end times!”

“Oh my god! Did a massive earthquake just hit your area?”

“Yes, I’m a survivor from City 17. We experienced the earthquake here. However, our situation might be better; only some buildings collapsed. It’s said that in most parts of the city, everything collapsed. I can’t believe it!”

“That’s right. We’re survivors from City 36, and during the recent earthquake, all our houses collapsed. Many zombies, many survivors, buried under the rubble!”

“Sigh, this is the darkest day for us survivors!”

“Yes!”

In an instant, the chat channels exploded.

Many people shared scenes captured after the earthquake.

Everywhere was rubble, broken walls and ruins.

Looking at these pictures and videos, almost everyone felt a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.

Fear and dread were palpable.

At this moment, the popular live streamer Larry also began broadcasting.

In the video, Larry appeared quite disheveled, with a look of fear still on his face.

He was visibly injured in several places.

Larry bluntly said, “Brothers, just like you, I’ve just experienced something I’ll never forget in my life!”

“If I hadn’t run fast just now, you might not see me again. I could have been buried under the rubble, turning into a corpse in ten days or half a month, or I could be a corpse right now!”

“But I’m actually very lucky because I managed to run out.”

“However, many people weren’t able to escape the collapsing buildings. They were crushed and buried!”

“Brothers, without a doubt, we’re facing the hardest times now. Please, everyone, stay strong!”

After saying these words, Larry ended the livestream.

He seemed to be in a hurry!

…

At this moment, many survivors sighed in despair, unsure of what to do.

Someone questioned, “Why didn’t the system give us a warning about the earthquake? If the system had warned us beforehand, those people wouldn’t have died. Now, we’ve suddenly lost our homes and face serious survival challenges!”

“Yeah, this shouldn’t have happened!”

“If there had been a system warning, we wouldn’t have had such massive casualties. I have several friends I can’t reach right now; I fear the worst!”
