For a moment, the screams of women, the cries of children, everyone was fleeing toward their homes.
The ground was caving in, why run home?
"Quick, get on the boats!"
Kuohai Zi carried his grandfather on his back, shouting to the clan members dispersing around him. Three large fishing boats raised their sails, and everyone clutched their most precious belongings, racing toward the boats.
On the island, the cracks in the ground widened, and seawater surged into the crevices.
Some who ran slower were trapped on the island by the wide chasms, and others fell directly into them.
"Forget those things, get on the boat quickly!"
