Hong Kong is in full swing

Chapter 136 No Reservations

“The flood is coming!”

He shouted these three words with almost all his strength.

The scene before my eyes was simply unbelievable. I saw a rushing torrent of water rushing down from a great height. The powerful impact not only took away a lot of soil and vegetation, but also directly destroyed all obstacles along the way.

Yu Wan's body almost collapsed with fear, but she suppressed her inner fear and grabbed Wei Size's arm tightly, "Run!"

she shouted.

The two immediately sprinted towards the higher ground nearby, struggling forward in the mud to try to avoid the sudden threat of flooding.

At this moment, heavy rain poured down like a torrential downpour, and the originally calm stream turned into a raging river, and even some sections of the water appeared to be surging.

The entire sky seemed to be covered by a heavy black curtain, blocking all light, reminiscent of the end of the world scenes in movies.

It is difficult for anyone to remain calm and composed in such a situation.

This is true for both Wei Size, who is always calm and composed in his daily life, and Yu Wan, the girl who appears strong and brave on the surface but is actually sensitive and fragile on the inside.

Faced with the wrath of nature, they seemed helpless and could only try their best to evacuate to high ground.

However, the slippery and muddy road became one of the biggest obstacles on their way forward.

They fell to the ground countless times and quickly stood up to continue moving forward. This cycle consumed a lot of their physical strength, and the bare trees on the mountainside with no support made their situation worse.

It was especially thrilling when Yu Wan almost rolled down due to a lack of attention.

Seeing this, Wei Size quickly reached out and caught her steadily to prevent her from suffering more serious injuries.

"Don't be afraid, we'll go up together."

He comforted her firmly and also gave himself great psychological support.

But even when helping others, he did not forget to pay attention to the balance of his feet so as not to fall down himself.

So they supported each other and slowly moved upwards. Although the progress was extremely slow, they never gave up hope.

As time passed, the ferocious and relentless floods came in waves at an astonishing speed.

Within a minute or so, the entire house was completely submerged in the rolling torrent, and no trace of its existence could be found.

Looking down from the relatively safe high ground, the familiar scene no longer exists. Instead, the earth's surface is covered with raging yellow mud.

After they calmed down temporarily, they looked at each other and saw the same unconcealable fear and shock in each other's eyes.

"I never thought...it turns out those prophecies weren't completely without reason."

Wei Size muttered to himself.

It was said that he would encounter the greatest danger in his life before he turned thirty. Now it seemed that this might refer to everything that was happening now.

"Maybe today."

These words kept echoing in Yu Wan's mind, like a ghost that was hard to get rid of, entangled in her heart.

She tried to stand up, trying to use her hands and legs to support her body that seemed to have lost weight, but after several attempts she still failed.

When she looked down at herself helplessly, she realized that she had started to tremble non-stop since she didn't know when, as if a cold chill was slowly crawling up her spine into her heart.

Fear, this strong emotion is like a ruthless sword, piercing through all the hypocritical and strong appearances, exposing the most vulnerable part deep in the heart without reservation.

"Help me."

She finally couldn't help but speak, and even her voice was slightly trembling. The uneasiness and fear slowly spread in the air, making people feel an invisible but extremely real sense of oppression.

After hearing the call, Wei Size quickly came to her side and stretched out a hand without hesitation to hold her firmly.

Although he was no calmer than the other person in the face of the current predicament, he still tried to force a smile and tried to ease the heaviness in their hearts with a light-hearted and humorous way. "From today on, we can be considered friends who share weal and woe."

Although she forced a smile at the corner of her mouth in response, Yu Wan was very clear in her mind that she didn't want to laugh at the moment, and she couldn't laugh.

Suddenly, a stronger shaking made the ground increasingly unstable, and the originally compact soil began to gradually erode and loosen.

The two of them raised their heads almost at the same time, their eyes full of fear and helplessness. They seemed so small and powerless in the face of this sudden change.

The mountain collapsed.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and all sounds were swallowed up in a terrible silence. Apart from the rumbling thunder coming from the distance, almost no other sound could be heard.

The deafening thunder was like the last tragic song between heaven and earth, announcing that the world was about to fall into chaos and darkness.

At the same time, on the other side of the city, Huo Shuyan was sitting at his desk enjoying a brief moment of peace, but this peace was broken by an indescribable feeling.

Just as he picked up the coffee cup and was about to take a sip, his right hand trembled for no reason, causing the liquid inside to overflow and spill onto his body.

Seeing this, the secretary next to him hurried over and handed him some tissues to help clean up. He just took the tissues and symbolically wiped the wet area, but still left an obvious brown stain.

Looking at the soiled parts of the clothes, the man said calmly, "It's okay, go on."

In the following time, the secretary began to report on some internal affairs of the company and the upcoming important event arrangements as usual. He specifically mentioned that in half an hour, a major project that had been prepared for several months would enter the final stage of negotiation.

The sky outside had turned gray at this time, accompanied by flashes of lightning, thunder and heavy rain, and the whole environment gave people an extremely depressing atmosphere.

Although on the surface he still seemed to maintain his usual focused attitude at work, in fact, Huo Shuyan's eyes kept looking at the dim and blurry world outside the window from time to time, and an unspeakable feeling of uneasiness involuntarily surged in his heart.

I tried to calm down this sudden irritability, but I found that the harder I tried to suppress my inner fluctuations, the more irritable and restless I felt, to the point that I couldn't concentrate on the task I was currently doing.

After noticing the unusual look gradually emerging on his boss's face, the assistant couldn't help but become worried, so he asked cautiously, "Boss, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay."

Even though he knew that he was in a state of anxiety, Huo Shuyan did not express it directly, but chose to hide it deeply.

"Let's just stop here. I want to rest for a while."
