Chapter 159 West
The west... is the direction from which the earthquake occurred. Is the Azure Dragon God staring in that direction because he is worried about the people there?
Before Rong Ming and the others could recover from their emotions, Long Xiaoxiao turned to look at them, her gaze quickly shifting to the food in the cart beside her.
So feeding began immediately. Rongming and the others quickly brought out the prepared food and fed it to Long Xiaoxiao. Long Xiaoxiao chewed silently without saying a word.
The system sensed Long Xiaoxiao's low spirits and, after some speculation, figured it was probably related to the earthquake she had just mentioned. So it said, "It's okay, Xiaoxiao. If you're unhappy, we'll go to the scene and see if we can save anyone we can."
Long Xiaoxiao, who had been looking downcast, immediately brightened up after hearing the system's words and thinking about it.
"Okay, okay!" Long Xiaoxiao said happily.
She couldn't understand why she was unhappy until the system told her. She realized that she couldn't bear to see someone suffer so much pain.
The dragon's expression in its dragon form was too difficult for Rongming and the others to decipher. They already knew that the little dragon would suddenly stop eating, sneak into the sky and fly around aimlessly for a while before silently returning with its mouth wide open, waiting to be fed again.
When the feeding was over, everyone packed up their things and put them on the cart, then immediately prepared to leave so as not to disturb the Azure Dragon God's rest.
The moment everyone stepped out the door, Long Xiaoxiao immediately soared into the sky, flying westward after reaching a high altitude.
The earthquake occurred in a very remote area, far from City A. It took Long Xiaoxiao a while to reach her destination.
When they were still more than ten kilometers away from their destination, Long Xiaoxiao felt the sorrowful atmosphere grow even stronger, like a group of people wailing and crying, or like some enormous creature making a sobbing sound.
When Long Xiaoxiao arrived at the destination and looked down from above, she immediately understood where those auras came from.
Everyone here looked exhausted. Although most of them didn't have any visible injuries, they all looked travel-worn and dressed in shabby clothes.
The aftershocks of the earthquake were still spreading, and they were frequently awakened by the shaking ground in the middle of the night, with panic pounding on their nerves time and time again.
Public transportation facilities such as high-speed rail cannot be operated due to the earthquake. Although highways are passable, they are already completely blocked, which may make them even more dangerous.
Everyone waited quietly for the disaster to pass. The family huddled together, trying to send a message of safety to their relatives outside the city through the bad signal. Their tired eyes still held a desire to survive.
Looking down at everything below, Long Xiaoxiao felt even sadder, but before she could vent her sadness, she noticed something was wrong.
This intense atmosphere of sorrow doesn't seem to emanate solely from the people below; if you had to put it another way... it seems to permeate the entire world.
Long Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She deliberately concealed her figure, so the people below did not notice her arrival. Although Rongming and the others saw her flying westward, they dared not speculate or conclude that Long Xiaoxiao had really gone west because of the earthquake until they caught a glimpse of her in the west.
With so many people below, even people from other cities were filled with anxiety. Many people took advantage of the fact that the city's public transportation was still available and started trying to buy tickets to leave, but unfortunately, there were too many people and not enough tickets, so most people had no choice but to stay here.
Should we take them all away? Obviously, that's unlikely.
Long Xiaoxiao was also quietly thinking about what to do, but her small brain capacity couldn't handle too many profound questions. After a long pause, she finally spoke up: "If I cover them all up, they won't be afraid."
The system immediately rejected the idea, saying, "Hmm... the item's capacity isn't that large, and it would be difficult to gather everyone in a large open space without buildings."
Long Xiaoxiao lowered her head dejectedly, feeling somewhat helpless.
Seeing this, the system quickly offered a suggestion: "Why don't we rescue those people buried underground first?"
Hearing that she finally had a chance to use her skills, Long Xiaoxiao's mood brightened. She nodded decisively and flew over to the location indicated by the system, searching for the collapsed buildings.
As soon as she got close, Long Xiaoxiao felt a faint aura of death, and her previously excited mood was instantly tinged with a shadow.
It seems... she's too late; someone has already died.
Long Xiaoxiao flew blankly to the vicinity of the ruins and saw the rescue workers who were digging hard, as well as some people whose clothes were tattered and covered in dust who were shouting the names of their family members.
Their family is below.
Realizing this, Long Xiaoxiao was even more moved, and she quickly took action: first, she used her healing ability to find the location of the people below.
When the system saw Long Xiaoxiao begin to use her healing abilities, it turned off the projection. The people who were still digging hard noticed the sudden shadow, paused for a few seconds, and then looked up to see Long Xiaoxiao looking down at them.
"It's the Azure Dragon God! We're saved!"
"Azure Dragon God! I beg you! I beg you to save my daughter!"
"It's alright...it's alright!"
"Thank you, thank you, Azure Dragon God!"
"..."
The moment they saw Long Xiaoxiao, everyone's weariness seemed to vanish, as if they had suddenly discovered a ray of light while walking alone in the dark. They shouted excitedly and their eyes filled with tears.
Long Xiaoxiao silently used her healing ability, and green light gradually spread down from her dragon horns, probing into the ruins little by little.
There were many ruins, and healing abilities spread out in all directions, with slender green lights disappearing into the collapsed cement dust.
Many people recognized the lights and excitedly shouted, "The Azure Dragon God is saving them!"
"Yes, the Azure Dragon God used this green light to save many people before!"
"..."
Even though they knew Long Xiaoxiao would help them, they didn't stop what they were doing. In fact, they were even more motivated, digging quickly in an attempt to see even a single person.
The small green light from the dragon seeped in, flowing in wisps to those buried under the ruins.

Wang Jiazhen, who had been unconscious, felt as if a refreshing mountain spring had flowed into her lungs. Her previously exhausted heart and lungs suddenly regained all their vitality. She struggled to open her eyes and found herself trapped under some hard lump, unable to move. Only a sliver of green light beside her was still faintly illuminating this small, narrow space.
Where is she? Where is her mother?
