Chapter 245 - Rescue

“Hmm for me? You will persist for me?” A hint of light flashed in Yin He's eyes.

“Of course. I thought there was no one left for me to care about in this world, that was until you joined my side.” Liu Gan’s ice cold heart seemed to have melted a little.

As Yin He held on within Liu Gan’s embrace, she released more heat energy.

The pouring rain and crashing waves struck the lighthouse, it was like a lonely island towering above the seawater. Eventually the structure started to sway back and forth like the motion of the sea, as if it could collapse at any moment.

The other team members stopped talking. Even the talkative Treadmill shut up. They were on the verge of passing out from extreme hypothermia, so it was hard for them to say anything.

The world was so quiet, it was as if Liu Gan and Yin He were the only ones remaining.

…

Liu Gan didn't dare fall asleep. He kept watch on the situation with the sea level. He discovered that the seawater slowly receded by several meters. He quickly pulled away from Yin He then warmed up his extremities in order to climb down the ladder on the inside of the lighthouse.

There were floors within the lighthouse, with a small room on every floor. The inside had ladders that made it easy to travel up and down the lighthouse floors. After the water had receded from within the lighthouse, they descended from the top of the lighthouse, and entered the building through a window. Now they could temporarily avoid the wind and rain from within the lighthouse.

If no help came for these players, they would surely perish.

With Yin He’s assistance, Liu Gan carried them one by one from outside into the indoor rooms of the lighthouse.

The choice of staying within the rooms of the lighthouse was a rather dangerous one to make. For instance, if there was another tsunami, or an earthquake. If the waves reached the lighthouse interior, then they would drown while being stuck indoors.

As of right now it was the only available action, even if it wasn't the best option. If they weren't taken into the room, they might very well freeze to death. It was close to zero degrees celsius, and with torrential downpour many of them were already hypothermic.

Every one of the members were taken inside, including the bearded man and the young female. All of them were laid down on left over furnitures and objects within the lighthouse. Luckily there was a large wooden board to cover up the window that they broke to get in. It was suitable, at least temporarily, for blocking out the thunderstorm and turbulent wind.

“So cold! I'm going to die from the cold!” Treadmill mumbled as he was quickly losing consciousness. Seems like even with the body of a level 5 player, he wasn't able to fully withstand it. Nevertheless, being able to resist hypothermia for this long of a period was truly remarkable.

Liu Gan took off the rain drenched winter clothing from the bodies of the players. After draining as much of the water as he could out of them, he helped the players put their clothes back on. The young therapist was the first to wake up, since he could self-treat himself with his ability. With the remainder of his energy, he used it to treat the others. This way the hypothermia would slightly more bearable after being treated. There were still patches of freezing water that touched their skin, but it was better than not being treated at all.

“Sorry… She is dead, I can't force any more energy into her body.” Said the young therapist to Liu Gan. The young therapist was referring to the young middle schooler. The young therapist was known as Huang WeiTao. Therapist Huang was part of the crew of ATV riders from earlier.

Liu Gan didn't say another word. He was about to throw the middle schooler over his shoulder and get ready to toss her out of the lighthouse.
