Chapter 1490 Fortunately, He Came Just in Time
“Buzz, buzz…”
As Fang Qiu got closer, the wind around him became increasingly louder. Before reaching the periphery, he saw various items like the surrounding wooden boards and broken plastic products flying wildly in the sky with the wind. Even stones on the ground were rolling.
This situation was surprising.
It looked quite scary.
He looked around but didn’t see anyone.
No one was in these collapsed houses.
It seemed that…
These people should have received the notice and were fully prepared for the disaster. There might be a rescue team searching for and saving people here. Along the way, Fang Qiu didn’t see anyone who was trapped.
Perhaps because the wind was too strong, most people hid in a safe place.
He moved on.
Fang Qiu directly activated his internal Qi. While stabilizing himself, he rushed deeper into this place.
There was a stiff wind blowing. But fortunately, he could find many places to hide from the wind among those collapsed buildings along the way.
Each time Fang Qiu passed by a block, he would find a place out of the wind. There, he carefully observed the surroundings and looked for traces of people.
And even…
When he arrived outside some houses that he could enter, Fang Qiu would find a way to get into them and search around. After making sure no one was around, he would leave.
On the way…
Fang Qiu accidentally broke into several rooms with people, but they were all locals.
Luckily, most of them had stored some water and food at home. Thus, these people could still hold on for a long time without water and electricity supply.
Finally, Fang Qiu approached the location shown by the satellite phone. Since then, he began to ask people he met if they had seen a Huaxia team of about 20 people.
To his dismay…
He asked several times in a row, but there was no news.
Helplessly, Fang Qiu could only go to the point where the signal disappeared. He wanted to see what the environment there was like.
After all, this city was nearly 200 kilometers away from Manilla, the capital of Phlippeanes. People in Manilla received the news in time and had enough time to protect themselves. This city must have also received the information that the super typhoon was about to sweep over.
The whole city had received the message. How could this team of Huaxia engineers not know about it?
From this point…
The Huaxia engineers should have known that a super typhoon would hit this area. As senior engineers, they should know which is the most resistant wind-proof building and would take refuge before the typhoon arrived.
The place where they disappeared was very likely the shelter they picked up.
He looked out.
Right there…
A huge tornado was about 100 meters ahead.
At this time, the tornado was slowly moving forward. Seemingly, it was about to leave the city.
If Fang Qiu waited for another three to five hours, the typhoon might leave. However, he couldn’t afford to wait for such a long period.
In his home country, many people were still waiting for news about the senior engineer and his team!
He stood out of the wind.
While observing the location on his mobile phone, Fang Qiu kept looking for a place ahead that looked like the location.
Soon…
He found it.
It was a three-story building, like a small fortress. The entire roof was semi-circle with very smooth lines. The wind could easily blow over because its wind flow resistance was very small.
He looked around.
No high-rise building with more than 10 floors was within a radius of 50 meters.
In other words, the wind or collapsed high-rise buildings wouldn’t damage the small structure!
“The senior engineer lives up to his reputation. He picked up an excellent place.”
Fang Qiu beamed and nodded.
He felt a little relieved.
That place…
It looked like a library or something similar. Anyway, it was not a private place. There shouldn’t be any problems.
He took a closer look.
The windows on both sides of the building were all broken but covered with proof fabric. Therefore, no wind could break into it.
“Divine Consciousness!”
When he found it, Fang Qiu immediately released his Divine Consciousness. He knew this group must be safe, but still, Fang Qiu wanted to check what was going on inside with his Divine Consciousness.
But as soon as his Divine Consciousness spread out…
Fang Qiu couldn’t help trembling all over.
He did sense a team of 20 people in that building, but near them appeared more than a dozen flows of energy aura.
Moreover, those energy auras were not weak!
“It can’t be so coincidental!”
Fang Qiu was shocked.
He immediately thought of the Nirvana Organization.
Besides…
With Divine Consciousness, he could sense that those people oozing energy aura from every pore were besieging the team of 20 people.
“Whoosh.”
Without any hesitation, Fang Qiu immediately darted forward.
He went against the strong wind.
In a flash, Fang Qiu rushed to the periphery of the building. There, he found that a window out of the wind was broken, revealing an entrance.
These Nirvana Organization members must have entered the building through this window. They did it not long ago. At least they hadn’t yet attacked anyone!
An idea popped up into Fang Qiu’s mind.
He quietly slipped in.
As soon as he entered, he saw a very spacious hall.
This was indeed a library with all the bookshelves by the wall. There were no bookshelves in the middle. This arrangement indirectly strengthened the wind-resistant ability of the whole building.
In addition to the bookshelves around the wall, many tables and chairs were placed inside the hall. They were especially used for quiet reading.
Right now…
Fang Qiu was next to a bookshelf.
To ensure air circulation, the places before the windows were empty. Therefore, as soon as Fang Qiu came in, he appeared in a blind corner.
In the main hall…
More than 20 Huaxia people were sitting back to back feebly. With cautious eyes, they looked at those men in black approaching them from all sides.
Fang Qiu could sense the hostile atmosphere in the hall.
“Hee, hee…”
The men in black laughed grimly, and several of them showed sharp blades with chilly light in their hands.
“You are courting death!”
Fang Qiu snorted in his heart.
First of all, he checked the surroundings with his Divine Consciousness. He ensured no more people were nearby. The strongest among these people was only a guru. Then he flashed over.
He rushed straight to the only guru. Before the guru could react, he pierced his heart with his sword.
After that…
As unpredictable as a ghost, he flashed to the other men in black and killed each of them with merely one sword strike.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
His sword kept ringing. One after another, those men in black didn’t even have time to react before they fell dead onto the ground.
In an instant…
More than a dozen men in black were all dead.
Their blood splattered in all directions, and a pungent smell of blood quickly spread.
Just then…
The 20 people led by the senior engineer witnessed this massacre, and their faces instantly turned ghastly pale. Then they looked toward Fang Qiu in panic and fear.
Before coming here, Fang Qiu had already put on a human skin mask.
Therefore, these people couldn’t recognize Fang Qiu at all.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here to save you.”
After finishing off these Nirvana Organization members, Fang Qiu walked up to them and said, “Domestic leaders sent me over. I was told you had lost contact with the domestic people for more than 48 hours.”
When the 20 people heard that…
They relaxed a little and leaned against each other weakly. Several people’s mouths had cracked open.
“This must be the refuge you chose. But it seems you haven’t brought any water and food.”
Fang Qiu asked with a puzzled look.
“We brought water and food.”
The senior engineer, who was the leader, came forward and said, “But these people broke in and took everything.”
“Had they been here for a long time?”
Fang Qiu was startled.
If these Nirvana Organization members had been here for a long time, why did they wait so long to kill?
“At first, one of them came.”
The senior engineer smiled bitterly and said, “I pitied him and gave him something to eat, but I didn’t expect him to ask for all our water and food. We were unwilling to do that, but we couldn’t defeat him. In the end, we could only negotiate with him.
“As a result, he brought a large group of people here and took away all our water and food.
“They finished all the water and food. Just now, they said the wind outside abated, and they were ready to leave.
“But they planned to kill us before leaving.”
When Fang Qiu heard that…
He knew what had happened.
These Nirvana Organization members wanted to stay here. Yet, they disliked the smell of blood after killing so many people. Thus, they temporarily spared their lives and planned to wipe them out before leaving.
“Now, can you walk?”
Fang Qiu asked.
Everyone smiled wryly and shook their heads. Some of them even glanced at the corpses next to them in horror.
“If you don’t want to stay with these dead bodies, hold on there. You should follow me to another safe place first. I’m afraid that accomplices of these men in black would come over.”
When the 20 people heard that…
They were immediately frightened. In a hurry, they stood up and followed Fang Qiu with weak limbs.
They left the library.
Fang Qiu mobilized his internal Qi and turned it into an energy shield. It covered everyone as they rushed to the coastline.
Fang Qiu found a safe building after leaving the zone with the strong wind. When the others rested there, he ran out to look for food.
At first, he intended to get some food from those who had stored supplies at their homes.
But on second thought…
How could he get food for 20 people from them?
Helplessly, Fang Qiu could only walk to the seaside, hoping to catch several fish washed up on shore by the waves.
In the end…
He really found a few fish.
He held the fish.
On the way back, Fang Qiu looked around for a long time. Finally, he found a large vat of clear water in a broken house. Then he lifted the vat, protected it with internal Qi, and returned to where everyone rested.
Upon arrival…
Fang Qiu let everyone take a few sips of water slowly. Then he found a pot and bowls in this room to cook fish soup for them.
Everything was done.
The others were busy eating and drinking.
Fang Qiu took the time to call Li Ji with the satellite phone in his hand.
“Hello?”
Li Ji answered the phone in no time.
“I’ve found them. They’re all safe.”
Fang Qiu said.
“That’s great!”
Hearing that, Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Send them back home immediately.”
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu replied with a nod.
“I’ll get a transport plane. A location will be sent to you later. You only need to bring them there and wait for the transport plane to pick them up.”
