Although everyone could no longer feel the earthquake, they dared not move, afraid another one would occur. They stood still, felt the earthquake had fully subsided, and finally rushed to the surrounding villages to help.
Those who had returned to their houses to sleep before the earthquake got trapped under their collapsed houses. People could only work together to pull these victims out.
Some victims had gotten crushed to death by beams, while others were fortunate enough to have only suffered minor injuries. Meanwhile, Tenghe Town was slightly better off as everyone believed Su Binglan's words and prepared themselves for the impending catastrophe.
Only a few people doubted the news and returned to their houses. That was how they got crushed under their collapsed houses.
