Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1622

The deafening blast came in an instant, Philip’s pupils contracting in an instant. The following sound was unbearably loud.

Phil stood in the doorway, buffeted by a force that sent him stumbling backward, slamming the door shut in its wake.

The world inside the base began to spin out of control, a cacophony that sounded like the heavens themselves were collapsing.

Pinned against the wall by the invisible hammer of the blast, Phil struggled to his feet, oddly numb to the pain. It felt as though something was cushioning his fall.

Turning, he saw Philip splayed out behind him, acting as a human shield and already spitting out blood.

"Philip!" His voice was a whisper against the roar.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have gone after that insect. Philip, come on, wake up."

Meanwhile, the entire base was lifted by some powerful force. In face of nature, human engineering designed to withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake, seemed trivial against the dual onslaught of the landslide and the earth's violent shaking. Every secure door had been breached.

The base was uplifted from its subterranean stronghold by the landslide and then harshly flung down, carried forward unstoppably.

Even the citizens could hear the earth-shattering noise. Some fell to their knees in prayer, murmuring for salvation.

Maja was about to dig into her meal when she felt the table quiver. Dropping her fork, she rushed to her apartment door and stood in the hallway. But outside, everything looked like normal; beyond the initial rumble, there was only the sound of fervent prayers.

Her neighbor, a woman who had mostly recovered from recent injuries, stepped out looking particularly pale.

"Seems like it's from the southwest. I came from there. The disease was bad enough, but with an earthquake.The authorities might just write off that whole area. No help's coming anytime soon."
