Chapter 349: Tornado
Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Tornado
What’s that?
A tornado?
Jhiang Yuan’s jaw almost dropped in shock; such a thing that she had only seen on TV was now appearing before her eyes.
My God...
It’s really spiral-shaped, and it’s roaming everywhere.
People outside clearly saw it too and began frantically running back.
There were constant sounds of people banging on the doors outside, the yelling was uncomfortable to hear.
"Go, block the door, don’t let anyone in."
The Young Commander ordered, and everyone below sprang into action.
Jhiang Yuan was somewhat horrified, this man was really heartless.
Looking at the elderly leader beside her, he also was frowning deeply, yet he didn’t say a word.
The tornado seemed far away.
If the doors were opened now, those people could still make it back.
Always talking about serving the people and the masses, and now they were being cowardly, how ironic.
Song Yi didn’t react either; when his gaze met hers, he shook his head.
This was telling her not to meddle, but don’t worry, she wasn’t that saintly.
Seeing that knocking was useless, the crowd moved to the glass, their expressions of panic all too clear.
Even the heavy rain couldn’t hide it, it was indeed somewhat heartbreaking.
"Yuanyuan, where are uncle and auntie?"
Caught off guard, Xiao Ling came over and asked.
Earlier, in the rush, it was unclear if this group had seen them.
"They have taken cover, it’s too dangerous. You too, take Jingjing and hurry to the side."
By now, the people in front of the windows had panicked, picking up large rocks to start smashing the glass.
Xiao Ling shrank back in fear upon seeing this, no longer caring for anything else, she quickly went to the side.
Jhiang Yuan silently sighed in relief, thankful she hadn’t asked more questions—it was such a hassle!
If these people knew she had this treasure, then there would be real trouble.
Now, who wouldn’t want to get in?
With so many people, her perfect haven could not be compromised.
Don’t blame her for being selfish, she really couldn’t afford to gamble!
The people by the window had become nearly insane, and the tornado was fast approaching, visible to the naked eye.
There was a "crack" sound as if the glass had shattered.
She was too far away to see clearly.
Before she had time to think, the entire glass cracked, spreading like frost patterns.
The man had only made a small hole, and the fierce wind outside did the rest for him.
In an instant, the glass shattered completely.
But everyone was dumbfounded; there was actually another layer.
And previously, it was completely undetected.
Having hope so close, only for it to suddenly vanish was the most helpless feeling.
"Hahaha, you think I’m stupid? Such an important place, how could it have only one layer, and even that of glass, haha..."
So, wasn’t it glass inside here?
Jhiang Yuan didn’t understand the Young Commander’s meaning, and the people behind began to grow tense.
Just now, two people had wanted to open the door - perhaps their family members were outside.
The moment they reached the door, their necks were sliced indifferently.
The actions were swift, accurate, and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.
Jhiang Yuan, even after having been through so much, still couldn’t help but shudder with fear.
Just when everyone thought they were safe, the tornado suddenly arrived at the doorstep.
The rain outside, some of it even carried away, hit the glass, making it impossible to see outside clearly.
In the midst of the tension, a pair of hands grabbed her.
"Move fast–"
It was actually Song Yi; the two of them headed straight for the side door that the elderly leader had come from.
Zhang Kaiyang and Xiao Ling also followed, without a single word having had a chance to be spoken.
With a loud "bang," the Stone Door emitted a muffled shaking sound.
"Not good!"
Jhiang Yuan had just realized what was happening, but before he could do anything, the Stone Door crashed inward with a "snap."
The tornado had already reached them, inside the spiral staircase, trapping lots of debris and branches within its grasp.
The people fleeing ahead seemed to be drawn in by some force, directly sucked into it.
Screams vanished in an instant as those inside continued to shriek in terror.
But within three seconds, it was upon them.
Most of the people at the entrance were pulled in.
Sister Chun had spotted their location and hurriedly ran over to them.
Inside, chaos ensued in just a moment.
Many were sucked in, while they clung desperately to the adjacent stone walls.
Jhiang Yuan felt an uncontrollable force as Song Yi held onto her arm, his other hand drawing a dagger and plunging it firmly into the stone wall.
The tornado lingered for no more than five or six seconds before moving on to other areas.
They hadn’t even recovered before it was over.
However, the wind was much stronger than before, and the torrential rain had turned into hailstones the size of baby fists.
"That scared me to death!"
Zhang Kaiyang had just breathed a sigh of relief, his heart still pounding in fear.
Jhiang Yuan glanced outside. Just now, Song Yi had pulled the elderly leader inside too.
At the first sign of trouble, he had thought to rush out, naturally to check on his son.
Now that it was over, his wish could indeed come true.
She wanted to go and see for herself and had just taken a step forward.
Ear-splitting sounds engulfed her; they were of heavy objects hitting the ground.
Looking ahead, she saw that the cave had collapsed.
The ceiling above had fallen, and Song Yi pulled her back repeatedly.
This remaining cave, shaped like a cone, had parts made of reinforced concrete above.
Now, along with the stone slabs, it fell straight down.
The spot where they stood was no longer safe, with nearby areas also on the verge of collapse.
Escaping was impossible.
Song Yi pulled her to the very back, where they bumped into Zhang Kaiyang in the corner.
As the stone slabs fell at their feet, Song Yi suddenly dashed to the side.
"Quick..."
The two groups behind him followed closely.
The side rooms were already in ruins.
He swiftly crawled under a bed, opened a manhole cover, and slid in sideways.
"Jhiang Yuan, hurry..."
The bed was probably only forty or fifty centimeters high; how could she possibly get under it?
But there was no other way if she didn’t go under.
"Lie down, and slide in..."
Song Yi seemed to have noticed her hesitation and shouted loudly.
That made it much easier indeed.
It wasn’t that she was being finicky; it was simply impossible to go down face-first unless her upper body was broken.
Then, Xiao Ling sent Jingjing down.
This side had also fallen, with the overhead canopy having collapsed a while ago, leaving no significant issues.
Finally, everyone was in.
Sitting in the underground shelter, they gasped for air heavily.
Everyone was soaked by the rain, and the hail had left large red welts where it struck.
"Ah, Uncle, Auntie, where’s Sister Mianmian?"
Zhang Kaiyang placed Fan Qing on the ground and then began to inquire.
To have forgotten them was unforgivable.
"It’s okay, there were too many people just now, and I had already told my parents to go back into the tunnel.
They should be safe now..."
