Chapter 1297: Chapter 1288: Farewell (6)
This sound was completely different from the earlier muffled thunder-like feeling; it was like an earthquake, shaking the place where Xia Siyu stood as if everything was trembling.
Xia Siyu had just stepped out of the car when Bo Yan, disregarding the looks from others, directly pulled her to him, protecting her in his arms.
Just as he reached out, Qin Baizhou also extended his hand. Both reached out almost simultaneously, but Xia Siyu leaned slightly to the side, directly falling towards Bo Yan, leaving Qin Baizhou’s hand grasping at air.
However, he didn’t have time to mind this at the moment. Considering the ground was shaking, whether it was an earthquake or some other geological disaster, escaping and disaster relief took top priority at this time. Of course, he also noticed that even at this moment, passersby and staff were looking over at Xia Siyu and Bo Yan, and certainly, there was the film crew evacuating: "Retreat! Retreat!"
He also quickly called out, "Be careful, stay safe!"
Before he finished speaking, the team staff around him were already protecting them as they retreated. The ground was still moving, and in a daze amidst the swirling dust, the water at the shore began to surge like roaring waves.
Everyone was retreating; Xia Siyu, shielded by Bo Yan and surrounded by a group of workers, looked back in shock to see the mountain peak they were originally going to climb was sliding down with a great rumble! The boulders, sand, grass, and wood on the mountain, the whole mountain, collapsed like dominoes, falling into the water. There were also staff and boatmen by the water’s edge, and they were also hit by the sand and stones into the water!
It was that opposite mountain! The one she was supposed to climb, but didn’t due to her mother’s news being exposed, so she returned unexpectedly! It was that mountain that collapsed! With a roar, like a snow-capped mountain avalanche, the world was overturned!
But, others were still there!
And, at the foot of the mountain, by the water, there were celebrities and so many staff!
Xia Siyu grabbed Bo Yan’s clothes; just a moment ago, she was still thinking about seeking justice for her mother, but at this moment, as the whole mountain collapsed before her eyes, her first reaction was: "Quick, call the police! Save them quickly!"
Bo Yan and Xia Youbiao, along with the program crew also realized it. Especially for the crew, the first response was still to retreat, but the director was trembling as he instructed someone to call the police and save the people.
Indeed, it hadn’t rained today; the river had risen, and they originally thought the biggest threat was the fear of the ferry capsizing. Although it wouldn’t look good for shooting, they still had each guest wear a life jacket. Who could have expected that they faced no danger on the ferry but instead experienced a mountain accident!
Moreover, to look good on film, they even let the celebrities take off their life jackets when they reached the shore. Being buried by a landslide is one thing; if they were hit into the water, a life jacket might save a life, but they didn’t have this last line of protection!
Those were celebrities! Celebrities! If something happened to those celebrities, they would all be ruined!
Not just them, such a significant event prompted some bystanders watching from a distance to begin dialing emergency numbers. Such a major incident quickly attracted people from several nearby police stations, fire brigades, and forestry departments, and also alerted the local news media.
While everyone was actively engaged in search and rescue operations, the reporters’ cameras also caught in their frame—Bo Yan and Xia Siyu still hugging each other on one side.
