Chapter 2175: Chapter 2175: Not Very Lucky
The massive noise almost scared Xu Kun out of his wits, leaving no room for questions as he hurriedly rushed into the corridor!
The collapsing ceiling made the whole inn’s structure unstable, and dust kept falling from the corridor!
"Mr. Qin, hurry up! If the corridor collapses, we’re surely dead!" Xu Kun cried out in alarm.
"Everyone, keep up." Qin Yu, holding Su Ziyan’s small hand, ran towards the wine cellar with large strides.
Soon, they led everyone into the wine cellar. Qin Yu and Su Ziyan were the first to jump down, followed swiftly by everyone else.
After the last person jumped down, Qin Yu sealed the stone lid on top of the wine cellar to prevent sand from pouring in.
As soon as the entrance was sealed, the wine cellar became pitch black in an instant, causing two girls to scream in fright and cling to each other tightly.
"Lighter, use the lighter quickly."
Hearing the girls’ voices, Yang Fengshan hurriedly pulled out a lighter, but before he could ignite it, Qin Yu snatched it away.
"Qin, why are you taking my lighter?" Yang Fengshan’s eyes flashed with a dangerous gleam.
Qin Yu coldly said, "Do you want to die? Do you know how much air is in the wine cellar? Do you know how long the black sandstorm will rage? If we run out of air later, what will we do?"
"This..." Qin Yu’s words left Yang Fengshan speechless, and he could only sulkily bow his head.
"Uncle Zaji, based on your experience, how much longer will the black sandstorm last?" Xu Kun’s voice carried a trace of panic, as he had his whole youthful life ahead and didn’t want to be buried alive here.
Everyone turned to look at old Zaji, who had the most experience surviving in the desert.
"When the power of the black sandstorm reaches its peak, it means the storm is half over. Right now, its power is still increasing, meaning it needs at least one more hour before it passes."
At least another hour? Even Qin Yu’s expression changed!
If the inn hadn’t collapsed, not to mention an hour, ten hours wouldn’t have been an issue!
But if the inn collapses, the area will soon be covered by sand dunes brought by the black sandstorm! Even if the wine cellar doesn’t collapse, they will suffocate!
"Oh my God, at least another hour? Won’t we suffocate alive in here?" Zhou Xiaoxiao screamed in terror!
"No, definitely not! The white camels are spirits of the desert! There are two white camels outside, they will protect us through the sandstorm."
Bai Yi prayed incessantly. If they were to suffocate here, all his schemes would be meaningless.
Qin Yu expanded his senses to probe around and found that sensations transmitted very slowly through the sand; he couldn’t measure the thickness of the sand.
For a moment, Qin Yu’s expression grew solemn. If the sand outside was too thick, he might not be able to get out.
Unlike mud and stone, sand is fluid. Even if Qin Yu could blast the sand away with force, more sand from other places would quickly flow back.
"Ziyan, it seems our luck isn’t very good," Qin Yu said with a wry smile.
"Honey, I’m not afraid of our bad luck, I just hope nothing goes wrong..." Su Ziyan began but then stopped, knowing every time the passage to Flower Valley was opened, it triggered a black sandstorm.
The larger the opening of the passage, the bigger the triggered sandstorm. With such a massive sandstorm, what size of passage was being opened here!
