”Made It Work” - Genius
“Who knows? Maybe it is right outside of our building. With movement that can create this much effect… only it can do that” Liu Hao clenched his teeth as he replied to Treadmill.
“Don’t worry, Elder Liu is very brave. He will definitely kill it!” Zhang Hua comforted everyone. Although he was hesitant on how truthful his words of comfort are. After all, Zhang ShengLi’s brainwashing technique is second to none, so Zhang Hua still is confident in Liu Gan’s ability.
“Elder Liu, you must persist! Every year, I’ll put up incense for you.” Treadmill started praying on the side.
“What did you just say?” Zhang Hua kicked Treadmill in the butt.
“Well deserved!” Liu Hao and Yuan HongJun heard the familiar sound that resonated with the kick of the butt. They both were giggling at the punishment Treadmill had incurred.
After several minutes, Liu Gan and Yin He returned. Liu Gan didn’t have time to enter the room, he only shouted out loud from the outside..
“Everyone! Run! Or else it will be too late!”
The members heard the familiar voice of Liu Gan and didn’t question the order. They immediately got up and took flight. Even the university student and bearded man followed along. Zhang Hua was the first to rush out the door only to discover the young female was still sitting dumbfoundedly on the floor, so he rushed back in to carry her on his shoulder out of the room.
Liu Gan didn’t head in the direction of the collapsed rocks… Even if he went in that direction it was useless as the road was completely sealed off. Liu Gan headed straight for the fishing village’s tallest and structurally-sound building. It was was shaped like a lighthouse. After he rushed in, he didn’t stop. He ran to the top exterior of the building. When he reached the top, he looked in the direction of the open sea.
Yin He followed closely like a shadow. The six ATV riders from the coastal camp were very nimble, so they trailed behind Liu-Yin duo. Even though, they don’t know the reason why they had to rush out, but the current situation wasn’t the right time for questioning. Without much choice, they unanimously obeyed.
Zhang Hua had to carry the younger girl, but his speed wasn’t slow at all. He followed behind the six ATV riders to climb up the stairs all the way to the top of the lighthouse.
Even though the bearded man was a level 1 newbie, his innate physical properties weren’t bad at all. He was still lagging behind slightly. He was ten seconds behind Zhang Hua before reaching the top of the lighthouse.
However, the fate of the university student was tragic. He wasn’t able to keep up with everyone’s fast pace movement. He was the only one that was truly left behind. After a flash of lightning, the entire fishing village was bright as day, you can see the coat of water that submerged most of the building. Those that stood at the top of the lighthouse, could see the university student losing his sense of direction as he looked left and right.
Moments later, behind him was a 10 meter high wave that surged in from the ocean...
A second later, the university student disappeared.
Now the reason for the urgent escape became apparent. If any of them were half a minute late like the university student, their fate would also be similar. No one could be sure of whereabouts of the university student after he got dragged into the sea.
In only a moment, the entire fishing village had become submerged under the seawater. Borrowing the flash of lightning, they could tell that no other structure protruded from the surface of the water. There was still three meters of distance between the seawater filling up at the base of the lighthouse to the very peak of the lighthouse.
