Rong Zhengguo and Jiang You, who were also in the air-raid shelter, felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently. The stones at the ceiling of the cave fell along with the dirt. There was grey dust in front of their eyes, and they couldn’t see anything.

The two of them had experienced many great storms before, so they didn’t even stop for a moment. They turned around and ran toward the entrance of the cave. As they ran, they shouted anxiously, “Beloved Grandchild Number One, Beloved Grandchild Number One. Please answer if you hear us.”

There was no sound on the other end of the line. The noise of static from the walkie-talkie was very strong, and one could even hear the echoing sounds of explosions.

“Huo Xiao, do you hear me? If you do, answer quickly!” Rong Zhengguo bellowed, his eyes red with anxiety.

The sounds of the explosion came from Old Huo’s side of the air-raid shelter. His legs weren’t good, so could he run?!

Jiang You was covered in dust, but he didn’t have time to clean up either. He frantically scrambled to the highest ground and saw that the entire bomb shelter had collapsed in the northwest direction. His eyes instantly turned red as he shouted into the walkie-talkie, “Huo Xiao, please answer if you hear me! Huo Xiao, answer me! You old thing, answer me quickly!”

As he continued shouting, his voice had even cracked. He comforted himself over and over again in his heart. It can’t be. Didn’t he go out to answer Sheng Sheng’s call? Definitely nothing had happened!

Oh right, Sheng Sheng! Call Sheng Sheng!

At the scene of the incident, the boulder had blocked a portion of the shattered stones that had flown over. Huo Xiao, who was covered in stone and dust, coughed lowly and slowly opened his eyes. He didn’t care if he was injured or not. He crawled up and stood on the stone, gazing into the distance all around him.

His forehead was injured, and blood was flowing down his face, blurring his eyes, but when he saw that only the bomb shelter he was in had collapsed and that Old Rong and Old Jiang were fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and finally turned around to look for his phone.

When my dear granddaughter called me, the bomb shelter behind me just happened to explode and collapse. The sound was so loud that she must have heard it. Who knows how scared and worried she must be now!

He had to find his phone quickly and call his dear granddaughter to tell her that he was safe.

When Rong Zhengguo and Jiang You ran over, they saw him circling around the boulder as if he was looking for something. His face was covered in blood, looking very frightening.

The two of them looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Tears glistened in their eyes. No matter what, it was good that he was fine.

Rong Zhengguo cried tears of joy and shouted at him, “Huo Xiao, Huo Xiao!”

The old thing opposite him had lost his walking stick. He was limping as he dragged his legs, almost lying on the ground to look for something.

Jiang You hurriedly ran over. As he got closer, he didn’t know if he should be angry or anxious. He shouted, “Huo Xiao, why didn’t you pick up the walkie-talkie and talk to us?”

He was fine but he didn’t even answer the walkie-talkie. Was he trying to kill them with anxiety? He ran over here without even taking a breather at his age, so his bones were about to fall apart.

It wasn’t that Huo Xiao was ignoring them, but he had lost his walkie-talkie. He couldn’t find it, and he had also lost his phone. He didn’t know where it had flown off to.

Moreover, when the air-raid shelter exploded and collapsed, he was too close to it. His ears were so shocked by the deafening sound that he couldn’t hear anything either. There was only a series of buzzing sounds. More than twenty minutes had passed since the incident, but his ears were still ringing!
