Chapter 546: Chapter 538: It Really Collapsed Chapter 546: Chapter 538: It Really Collapsed Back then, she had also been abandoned like this.
Gu Ning reached out and stroked her head.
“My hairstyle is ruined,” Tang Yuxin managed to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
She secretly cursed herself for being weak.
What was there to cry about?
People come and go in this world.
And, what’s the big deal about losing a suitcase?
...
Even if not now, she would lose it eventually.
People were fickle, always seeking novelty while bored of the old.
Perhaps Tang Yuxin herself had never been truly faithful.
In the past, she loved Zhang Yong’an, thinking that her love would last until the end of time.
Despite everyone referring to him as a heap of feces, in her eyes, he was a flower.
But now, the sea was still full, the stones were intact, and the world hadn’t ended yet.
She would never love him again, even to the point that she couldn’t remember why she had loved him in the first place.
So much so, she had forgotten what he looked like.

As they continued moving forward, Tang Yuxin started to feel uneasy.
There was a peculiar scent in the air, a scent that was all too familiar to her as a doctor, having been one for two generations.
Patients have various smells, but only two of them are the same.
One was the stench of blood.
The other was the smell of rotting flesh.
She could pick up these smells almost daily at the hospital, especially when she was in the emergency room.
Now, the scent was growing stronger, an indication that its source was getting closer.
Was this scent carried by the wind, or was it in the air around them?
It wasn’t just Tang Yuxin who smelled it; Gu Ning recognized it too.
Tang Yuxin looked ahead, she had already guessed what happened up there.
Gu Ning took a step forward, shielding Tang Yuxin behind him.
A group of people emerged, looking pale and weak from hunger.
Upon seeing Gu Ning and Tang Yuxin, who were also thin, their hopeful eyes immediately dimmed.
There were around ten survivors.
Tang Yuxin knew that the coach had been at full capacity, carrying over twenty passengers.
So, where were the remaining people from two full coaches supposed to accommodate over fifty passengers?
Tang Yuxin stepped back behind Gu Ning and held their clothes tighter.
The food they had wasn’t much, just a small pack.
She counted the days and realized they would have to last three more days.
With only two bottles of water and some snacks, it was dangerous to make it through considering the crowd.
Even if they were to cut chunks from their flesh, it wouldn’t be enough to feed these people.
The crowd gathered, looking like wandering souls, hopelessly examining them for a long while.
Perhaps they were hoping to find food on them.
Unfortunately, Gu Ning and Tang Yuxin didn’t even have a backpack, let alone any food.
These people huddled together by the half-buried coach, where aside from other passengers’ luggage, there was only a bit of water left.
The water wasn’t much, but it saved these people’s lives.
They had been starving, but without anything to eat, each person was rationed only a little each day.
They couldn’t afford to take more.
Tang Yuxin hid her clothes where no one could find them.
Then, she went over to consult with Gu Ning.
The bus was entering the tunnel when it collapsed, and the bus hit the debris.
They didn’t know about the coach ahead, but it was assumed to be trapped inside, buried under the rubble.
The survivors had been living off the few supplies of food and whatever water was left for over ten days.
But since the food was running out, they had no choice but to wait for help, not knowing how much time had passed.
Their initial hope gradually turned into despair, and they realized they might die here, with no one to even recover their bodies.
Now that people finally arrived, it turned out they were just like them.
