CHAPTER 634: THE MANSION WAS SWEPT AWAY...

A massive mudslide approached from all directions, seemingly poised to engulf the area, but that was merely an illusion. The real crisis wasn’t the mudslide—it was just a visual effect.

Jing Shu, who had night vision, could see clearly. The New World Building seemed like a new tectonic plate, having been sliced off and set adrift.

The building was like an isolated island, floating on the sea, moving away from its original location at an incomprehensible speed. The surrounding scenery began to change, becoming unfamiliar.

Jing Shu had survived the apocalypse for ten years. While she was unclear about this specific situation, she roughly knew it must be the ’plate movement’ that had begun in the second year. These movements were possibly random or due to other factors, perhaps involving a mountain or a tract of land. In any case, they disrupted the maps, meaning original locations were no longer where they used to be.

Unfortunately for Jing Shu, the land beneath her feet was one such plate; it had begun to move.

Jun Jia pulled out his phone, cursing aloud, "Reports had come in earlier of massive mudslides approaching, potentially engulfing the New World Building, and we were preparing to evacuate people. But our signals were blocked in this remote area, so we couldn’t broadcast any distress signals. I knew something was wrong. Then cracks began to appear around us... Every exit began to break off bit by bit."

Jing Shu took out her phone, found no signal, and asked, "After the signal was blocked, did anyone go out to call for help?"

"Come on, let’s ask Wang Miao if he sent anyone out." Jun Jia, frustrated, kicked the prepared off-road vehicle and ran with a few others to the other side, shouting, "Wang Miao, what’s the status? Did anyone escape?"

This was Wang Miao, who had just arrived in charge of administrative and logistical management. He said, his voice filled with pain, "It was too late to evacuate. Only three convoys got out, and one of them was engulfed by the mudslide. We couldn’t launch a rescue in time from here. It’s uncertain whether the other two vehicles could escape the mudslide."

Gold Dominator stood with his mouth agape, vehicle headlights illuminating the surroundings. Only then did he clearly see that the area was no longer the suburb it had once been. They seemed to be floating on a ship, the relentless mudslide pushing the building around—this was surreal!

It was more accurate to say the building was like a small boat, propelled by a vast river of mudslides surrounding it.

"All signals are blocked. We just tried the transmitter, and it’s completely useless," Wang Miao said, somewhat despondently. "It’s too late for any distress calls."

Everyone was dumbstruck. Although they had considered everything during the planning, including potential disasters, no one had imagined they would be separated like this, with the entire building adrift on a sea of mudslides. What in the world was happening?

"They wouldn’t dare to make a movie like this," Gold Dominator finally blurted out after a while.

Jun Jia patted Wang Miao on the shoulder. "So many of us are missing; the higher-ups will definitely take it seriously. Just wait for the rescue now. If only we’d had a helicopter then."

If there had been an aircraft, they could at least determine their location and expedite the rescue.

Wang Miao continued to sigh. "The problem now is we can’t be located. I have no idea where we’ve been moved to. There are no landmarks around, and those who escaped to seek help don’t know which direction we’ve drifted... In this situation, searching for us is too difficult."

The whistling wind indicated their rapid speed. Jun Jia frowned. "We must be going dozens of yards per second, right? We can only pray it stops soon." Their constant change of position further complicated the rescue.

At that moment, Li Yuetian arrived with an armed force, panting. "I’ve just sealed off the building. No one will come out, and our men are stationed everywhere.

I’ve also scouted around. There are no dangerous objects. I’ll arrange for the perimeter to be fenced off shortly to prevent anyone from falling if there’s a collapse. Now, let’s agree on a plan and then go inside to explain the situation to everyone."

Young Master Lan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it isn’t a robbery... Even though the entire building is being pushed to an unknown location, with Gold Dominator and countless celebrities inside, the higher-ups will definitely make a great effort to rescue us. So, what we need to do now is...

"Just wait for rescue calmly, and reassure the people in the building," Jun Jia declared. "Before that, no casualties or other mishaps are to occur, and no infighting is allowed." In this setting, his administrative rank was the highest. After all, he was part of Wu City’s leadership.

"Yes!"

"Received!"

"Wang Miao, compile a list of all attendees at the Celebrities Gathering and all our personnel. Coordinate with the head of logistics to figure out food and accommodation. Determine what existing supplies can be used and what’s missing. Report back so we can decide on a course of action." Jun Jia, true to the Jun Family name, even if he was a bit of a greedy bastard, still had real skills in managing his subordinates.

Jing Shu frowned throughout the entire ordeal, sensing unease. This situation... it wasn’t her first rodeo; it was too familiar, too similar.

The situation might not be as straightforward as just waiting for rescue. If this is due to plate movement, it would completely disrupt our geographical understanding. It was like this in the United States and in the mountains as well. It’s highly probable we’re no longer within Wu City’s bounds!

Wang Miao took out his phone and said, "There are a thousand people attending the Celebrities Gathering auction, three hundred in services and security, over a hundred in administrative and logistics, and six hundred in armed forces, totaling two thousand people. But there are also more than two hundred people who have always resided on the upper floors, led by Boss Lu, the original developer of the New World..."

"Because we thought the auction would be over in two hours, other food supplies weren’t prepared. Currently, the food and water supplies are only enough for these two thousand-plus people to last a day or two...

Because just before, all the food supplies and other goods of the Celebrities Gathering attendees in the parking lot were separated from the building. Although Boss Lu might have some food, water is a serious problem! If we are trapped in the building for more than seven days, then..."

In other words, the New World parking lot, designated for storing supplies, was not part of the section that was moved. Only the bare building itself, devoid of anything, was separated and carried away.

"Boss, Finance Director Liu!"

Just then, Wang Miao’s driver excitedly ran over. He said, patting his chest, "I was scared to death just now! The ground split open while I was handing over duties there. Luckily, our trucks were inside. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have seen you."

Liu’s eyes lit up. He nodded, quietly pulling the driver aside and asked some further questions.

This means my trucks of red worm cakes are still here!
