Chapter 1055: Chapter 1037: It’s Your Leg Shaking Chapter 1055: Chapter 1037: It’s Your Leg Shaking No one could find peace.

Inside Yun City, Tang Yuxin and Gu Ning had already been outside for over two hours, during which they had also experienced one or two aftershocks.

However, none were too strong, and the ground had not shaken very much.

So, it should be fine for the time being.

Although the place where they were had experienced earthquakes and aftershocks, not many houses had collapsed, and the house behind them was still intact.

“We should go inside first.”
Gu Ning stood up and pulled Tang Yuxin to her feet.

Tang Yuxin was shivering with cold; she hadn’t felt it when they first came out, but after two hours, even if there was a board blocking the rain, raindrops occasionally fluttered onto their clothes.

After several hours, their clothes and hair were soaking wet.

Both of them were as drenched as drowned ratsaEUR”Tang Yuxin slightly less so, as she was protected by Gu Ning and covered with a blanket, but even so, her clothes were almost completely wet through.

Gu Ning fared even worse; his clothes were dripping with water, and with a forceful twist, he could wring out as much water as from a wet towel.

Tang Yuxin shivered uncontrollably from the cold.

Now, wearing a blanketaEUR”and even if it were a quiltaEUR”likely wouldn’t make a difference, as it would be soaked through too.

As for whether there would be more aftershocks, to be honest, Tang Yuxin didn’t know.

Communication with the outside world was still cut off here; they’d only got past the first hurdle, and nobody knew what lay beyond the second.

Even she was at a total loss.

But was it really okay to go inside now?

What if the roof suddenly collapsed?

Just as Gu Ning was about to move, Tang Yuxin grabbed his clothes and shook her head at him.

“Can we not go inside?”
“It’s fine,” Gu Ning wiped the rain off Tang Yuxin’s face, “over there is a greenhouse, very tranquil.

Let’s hide in there for now.

Plus, this house is built very solidly.

Look, it didn’t have any problems even when the shaking was so violent.”
The objects outside the house were all scattered and askew, but the interior of the house was untouched; even the window glass was unbroken.

“I reinforced the entire house with military-grade materials when I first arrived here,” Gu Ning combed Tang Yuxin’s hair, which was wet to strands, “it can withstand an earthquake of magnitude eight, and the glass is explosion-proof, so don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble.”
Tang Yuxin pursed her red lips, the wind occasionally blowing through her clothes and causing her to involuntarily shiver as it was too cold.

In the end, she bit her lip and clutched at Gu Ning’s clothes as they ventured out.

No matter what, they had to go inside.

If she didn’t get crushed by something collapsing, she felt she would freeze to death.

So, between freezing and being crushed, she would rather the latter.

To freeze into an ice lolly would be an even more terrifying way to die, and the process would be lengthy.

She did not wish for such an endaEUR”if it were to be death, then it should be swift, not lingering and half-dead.

Gu Ning led Tang Yuxin into the house.

The contents inside had been shaken up a bit; things had fallen to the floor everywhere, and in the kitchen, many dishes had shattered.

The vase placed at the entrance had broken.

They had to be extremely careful where they stepped.

Entering the house, Tang Yuxin still felt like the house was shaking.

“Gu Ning, is it shaking?”
Tang Yuxin was too scared to move on; it just kept shaking.

“It’s not the house that’s shaking,” Gu Ning said, gripping her hand, “it’s your legs trembling.”
He walked to one side, and from the sofa, he casually grabbed a piece of cloth and started drying Tang Yuxin’s hair.

No, Tang Yuxin desperately twisted her head to one side.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Ning held her face with one hand, determined to dry her hair without discussion.

Tang Yuxin used her own hands to block.

“You’re sitting on something underneath you, yet you want to dry my hair?”
Not paying attention, Gu Ning continued to dry, not knowing what else to use; this was the closest thing, at least a piece of cloth, which was better than her hair staying wet.

Eventually, Tang Yuxin stopped struggling, seemingly resigned to her fate, allowing Gu Ning to help her dry her hair.

“Go take a shower; there should still be hot water.”
Gu Ning felt that Tang Yuxin was not okay; continuing like this was merely treating the symptoms, not the cause.

She was still damp all over, and she couldn’t just go without clothes, right?

If something really happened, they would still need to run.

This place was not safe now, nor was there any absolutely safe place.

I’ll go check if there’s hot water, Gu Ning said, pulling Tang Yuxin into the bathroom.

He first tried the light switch; there was no power, the circuit was down, and as for solar power, without the sun there was no electricity at all.

He turned on the faucet, not sure if the water had been turned off, but there was still water flowing, and electricity was definitely out.

However, their place primarily used solar energy, since there was a lot of sunlight there all year round, and they didn’t use the water heater much.

He tested the water temperature; the water warmed up after a moment.

Then he bent down and picked up the things that had fallen to the floor, placing them back in order, and pulled Tang Yuxin under the faucet, suggesting a quick rinse would do, even without taking off her clothes.

He went outside and brought back clothes for both of them; nothing fancy, they just changed directly.

After changing clothes, they felt not so cold anymore, but because of the fear and shock, they were easily exhausted.

Tang Yuxin’s legs were still weak.

That’s why she had been feeling like the ground was moving, like the house was shaking, but in fact, none of that was happening; it was only herself shaking.

Gu Ning moved a bed into the outdoor conservatory.

The roof of the conservatory wasn’t made of glass, but a new type of lightweight material, very strong and shatter-resistant, with much better light transmittance than glass.

It was a new material developed by his research, and he was very confident in its performance.

After moving the bed there, he gathered anything that could be used; there wasn’t much to begin with, as it used to house some plants, but it had been vacant and unattended for some time.

And the place had been cleaned, so it wasn’t empty, and staying there posed no significant problem even if it was improvised.

Gu Ning then carried bedding and such from the bedroom, made the bed, and tucked Tang Yuxin in.

Afterward, he ran back inside several times, bringing out some snacks and water.

Luckily, Tang Yuxin had bought so many things back; otherwise, they really wouldn’t know how to get by in the following days.
