I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 255 Tsunami

255 Tsunami

However, that was not enough. Du Yue found safety ropes from her inters.p.a.ce and tied them around her and He Xing’s wrists. “With this, we won’t be washed away by the waves,” Du Yue said.

If they were really washed away by the waves, communication equipment could not be used. It would not be easy for the two of them to find each other again. Therefore, Du Yue wanted to eliminate that possibility as much as possible. He Xing glanced at the safety rope around their hands and looked at Du Yue with tenderness and love in his eyes. “Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side no matter what happens!”

Du Yue and He Xing walked toward the elevator when they saw that most of the people had gone upstairs. They did not go upstairs to escape, only because the celestial lord and Xia Zhixing were still on the fourth floor. If they did not leave now, they would be easily discovered. He Xing’s ident.i.ty could not be exposed yet, so it was better to leave this place as soon as possible.

He was hiding in the crowd, and everyone was panicking, so the celestial lord probably would not notice He Xing. Du Yue and He Xing went up to the fifth floor, but they did not see many people because most of them were still running upstairs. They only saw the crowd when they reached the eighth floor. Du Yue and He Xing walked fast and lightly. In addition, they were dressed in rather ordinary clothes. Therefore, no one would notice the two of them.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was on the outside of the window. Even though the outside was covered in thick fog and nothing could be seen, just by listening to the sound, they knew that the waves were getting closer and closer. Although there were many people, they were all very quiet. No one spoke. In less than five minutes, Du Yue saw the waves.

‘The mountains are calling and the seas are roaring.’ This was a phrase that Du Yue had only read in books, but it was happening right in front of her eyes. When she saw the tsunami with her own eyes, she suddenly realized how insignificant humans were in the face of nature. The raging waves kept approaching like huge monsters that wanted to swallow people. Du Yue stood where she was and closed her eyes subconsciously.

She knew that no matter who it was, there was nothing they could do. Even though she had been reborn, the only thing she could do before the natural disaster struck was to tie her and He Xing together so that they would not be separated. As the huge tsunami hit, the entire building began to shake.

The violent shaking caused everyone to lose their balance, including Du Yue. However, a pair of strong arms quickly reached out from beside her and wrapped her in a tight embrace. The suffocating feeling she expected did not come. Although the waves shook the entire building violently, it did not collapse.

Du Yue slowly opened her eyes and watched as another huge wave came cras.h.i.+ng down. Feeling He Xing’s warmth, Du Yue suddenly felt less afraid. This time, she did not close her eyes. She just stared at the waves. The waves covered the window in front of her, and she could not see anything outside. The huge waves kept rolling and cras.h.i.+ng against the window.

The entire building was shaking, but every time Du Yue thought the waves would cause the collapse of the building, it would manage to hold on. Du Yue calmed down. It seemed that this ordinary-looking building had been built with great care. It was obvious that the people around them had also noticed this.

Someone heaved a sigh of relief and stood up with the help of the wall. “Everyone, don’t panic! We’re in the Celestial Lord Palace! This building was personally built by the celestial lord. The celestial lord had once said that there’s no building in this world that’s stronger than the Celestial Lord Palace.”

Everyone calmed down and thought about it. The tsunami was already here, but the celestial lord was still on the fourth floor. He did not escape with everyone. This proved that he was very confident in his Celestial Lord Palace!

“We’re not afraid of the building being washed away by the waves!”

Hearing this, Du Yue subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. At a time like this, they were still treating the words of the celestial lord as the truth. It seemed that the man had brainwashed these residents. Du Yue sighed. However, this was a matter where one was willing to hit and the other was willing to suffer. She could not interfere.

The tsunami came with great momentum, but it also left quickly. In less than ten minutes, the huge waves gradually receded. However, one could still hear the sound of water running. It seemed that the seawater had not completely retreated. They were on the eighth floor, and the sound of water was very clear. It seemed that the water had reached at least the fourth or fifth floor.

They were fine, but how were the people on the lower floors? This Celestial Lord Palace was the tallest building in the inner city. Most of the buildings here had five or six floors, and some only had three. Did that not mean that those people were all trapped in the water?
