Taotu frowned slightly, "In other words, the people in the city didn't take precautions in advance this time?"
"Why else would I tell those brats to go home?"
Kaduo rolled his eyes, wiped his sweat and turned towards the room, muttering, "It was the peak tourist season these days, so business was rarely better, but now it's better, everything is ruined..."
And behind him.
Nuo Xia and the three women looked at each other solemnly and realized something at the same time.
"Without precautions, for a natural disaster of this magnitude, the surrounding civilians would not have time to evacuate..."
Nuo Xia took a look at the increasingly bad weather and made a decisive decision, "Let's split up, bow and stay in the hotel, it's important to save people first, and then we can meet here again after the natural disaster is over!"
The girls naturally had no objections to this.
The group of people took action quickly.
Nuoxia went straight to the north, and Taotu went south.
Shia and Bellmere were weak and both had fruit abilities that were afraid of sea water, so they went east together to take care of each other.
Dingchun and Xiaoluo were not idle either. After Nuo Xia gave the order, they rushed to the west at full speed.
…
The outskirts of the Seven Waters City are already under attack by the tsunami.
Residents along the coast, some of whom were still sleeping, were awakened by the loud noise outside. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and got out of bed. After opening the door, they were instantly shocked by everything outside.
Huge waves rolled in from the sea, reaching as far as the eye could see. The fishing boats docked at the port were instantly swallowed up, and some low-rise and old bungalows at the pier were instantly destroyed.
Rumble!
Sometimes thunder explodes, tearing the sky apart instantly and almost lighting up the entire sky.
"Run quickly!!"
"The tsunami is coming soon!"
The loud shouts woke up these residents. They turned around and saw that in the streets, waterways, and even on the roofs on both sides, there were people with their families fleeing like crazy towards the high ground in the central city.
Then their lips trembled, their faces turned pale, and they turned back home to wake up their families. They didn't even have time to pack up their belongings, so they hurriedly followed the crowd and rushed into the city.
Scenes like this happened in every corner of the outer city of the Capital of Seven Waters.
When Nuo Xia came to the northern city on moon steps and landed firmly at a street intersection, he saw a similar scene.
Several slender and thin girls stumbled towards this side, looking frightened. They glanced back from time to time, as if something terrible was chasing them behind.
Nuo Xia looked past them and towards the back of the street.
Sure enough, hundreds of meters away, I saw two amphibious sea beasts that were seven or eight meters tall, with the upper body of a shark and the lower body of a frog, jumping and screaming, chasing after them.
"The gods of water bring not only tsunamis, but also all kinds of raging sea beasts..."
Nuo Xia's expression darkened. It seemed that this disaster and the destructive power were more terrifying than he expected.
"Hey! What are you still doing?"
"Stop standing there stupidly. Do you want to be eaten by sea monsters? Run quickly!"
At this time, several girls also noticed Xia Nuo standing at the street corner. They were stunned at first and couldn't help but take another look at this face. The next moment, they suddenly woke up and shouted eagerly.
Nuo Xia's eyes flashed, and instead of answering the two girls, he put his right hand on the hilt of the Azakana sword at his waist.
laugh!
The sound of breaking wind sounded, and the next moment, the two sea beasts that were originally chasing were cut off at the waist.
The upper body, which resembled a shark, fell to the ground and stopped moving. The two frog legs continued to jump for tens of meters, and finally fell into the river next to it.
"Eh?"
Several girls originally planned to drag the handsome guy in front of them, but he seemed a bit silly, to run away together, when they suddenly heard no footsteps behind them.
When he looked back, he saw only pieces of corpses all over the ground, and he immediately froze in place.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Nuo Xia retracted the sword, returned to the girls, and asked casually, "You still have relatives and companions who have not escaped, do you need rescue?"
"without……"
Several girls shook their heads subconsciously, and a blond girl with a calmer temperament secretly looked at Nuo Xia's profile and replied in a low voice: "Our parents are preparing boats in the waterway in front. As long as we go over, we can meet up and enter the city safely...
…”
"That's good, go over there quickly and take care of yourself on the way."
After Nuo Xia simply gave a warning, his figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared at the intersection of the street, heading straight into the distance.
"Eh?"
Nuo Xia's speed was so fast that before the girls could react, their backs had turned into small black dots. They had no choice but to swallow back the words of dissuasion that were on their lips.
They looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.
The tsunami is getting closer and closer to here. The docks and ports have turned into a scene that can only be seen at the end of the world. If you are even slightly swept over the edge, there is a danger of death.
At this time, there are only people running out, how can anyone turn back that way?
It's not like there are relatives there who need to be rescued, but looking at that guy's calm expression, it doesn't look like it...
Rumble!
At this moment, the sound of thunder, which was countless times more terrifying than before, resounded throughout the sky!
Several girls were so frightened that they did not dare to stay any longer. They hurriedly walked along the eaves and accelerated their pace towards the city.
at the same time.
In the violent air currents, the torrential rain finally fell one after another, like the Milky Way pouring down.
Boundless water vapor is rising, white mist is spreading, and the sight between streets and waterways is becoming increasingly blurry. Almost the entire City of Seven Waters has been turned into a marshland.
…
South of the city.
The terrain here is relatively rugged, the houses are densely packed, and the land route is inconvenient. Therefore, the waterways leading to the city are numerous and criss-crossed. Water transportation is the most developed among all peripheral areas.
But no matter how many waterways there are, they can't withstand the people who flood in when the tsunami breaks out.
For a while.
Almost all the waterways were occupied by ships of all kinds. The ships in front were blocked and crowded together, but there was a steady stream of ships pouring into the waterways from behind, with voices urging and yelling.
Panic, anger, complaint, despair... Seeing the tsunami in the distance becoming more and more fierce, all kinds of negative emotions spread among the rivers, and people kept quarreling and even fighting over the road.
Just then.
A figure suddenly flew from the direction of the city gate, his hands gently patting the tops of all the ships along the way.
The people on the deck felt their eyes blurred, and before they could see clearly what the man looked like, they suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
When they stood up holding on to the railing, they were surprised to find that they and the boat were suspended in mid-air.
The other ships around were similar. The strong men who had been shouting and yelling just now had their eyes widened, and their expressions were similar to theirs.
"go."
Peach Rabbit landed on a rooftop, and with a flick of her finger, the boats she had touched along the way were like flying arrows, flying along the waterway towards the city.
And she herself rose from the ground at the same time, and her followers turned back.
There were about sixty or seventy ships in the first batch of ships sent away.
It may not seem like much, but controlling so many ships at once is already Taotu's current limit.
Although she has become more proficient in controlling Piaopiao Fruit in the past two months, she is still far from the level of the Golden Lion.
After sending those ships to a safe zone, Peach Rabbit returned to the roof where she had fallen. People on the surrounding ships were looking up at her in amazement.
But Taotu didn't pay attention to this. She looked worriedly at the far end of her sight at the approaching giant waves. She didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately accelerated the progress, controlling the second batch of "spaceships" and sending them to a safe zone...
…
…
North of the city.
Without the assistance of Piao Piao Fruit, Nuo Xia was still saving those victims who would not be able to escape with the same efficiency as Peach Rabbit.
Compared with the south of the city where there are many waterways, the main road in the north is relatively spacious, and there are not many ships using the waterway, so there is no situation of being crowded and unable to move forward.
Therefore, Nosha rushed directly into the area closest to the coast, focusing his main attention on the poor people buried by collapsed houses, as well as the unlucky ones who were chased by various sea beasts and put in danger.
He exerted his physical skills and water nature to the extreme, and his knowledge, knowledge, and color, which he had cultivated to a high level, were fully activated. He did not let go of any life that could be saved. In just half an hour, he successfully rescued at least a thousand people.
The rescued people were all in shock. They finally recovered from the joy of surviving the disaster and excitedly wanted to express their gratitude to Nuo Xia.
But often at this time, Nuo Xia has already drifted away, leaving only a trace of his back to them who were stunned.
"Um?"
As a row of collapsed roofs passed by, Nuo Xia suddenly seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in a certain direction to the left.
There, in the rushing water, two figures were wading forward with difficulty, using their hands and feet, heading deeper into the streets.
Is it Iceberg and Frankie?
Nuo Xia recognized the two of them and felt strange. The area affected by the Water Gods was getting wider and wider. Why didn't these two guys go to the city to take refuge, but instead turned around and came back?
Could it be that their teacher Tom is still in the studio and has not been rescued?
wrong.
Tom is a fishman. No matter how big the tsunami is, it is impossible to drown this master shipbuilder...
The brief doubt only lasted for a moment, and the next moment Nosha frowned, because he saw a huge wave suddenly rushing in the distance, and the location of Frankie Iceberg happened to be on the road that must pass through.
.
The movement of the huge waves was too great. Franky and Bingshan, who were struggling to move against the current, also noticed this scene, and their expressions suddenly changed.
The two struggled to avoid it, but their physical strength was already close to exhaustion. How could they possibly outrun the tsunami? No matter how hard they tried, they could only watch in horror as the monstrous waves got closer and closer...
Buzz!
At this moment, the sound of howling wind suddenly sounded in my ears.
The two subconsciously raised their heads and saw a thick wind wall suddenly forming in mid-air.
And the terrifying giant wave that came in, after contacting this wall of wind, was instantly swallowed up and disappeared without a trace...
Such a magical and strange scene made Bingshan and Franky so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. Before they understood what was going on, they suddenly felt someone grabbing their backs——
A pair of strong hands picked them up from the rushing water and threw them to the safe roof of a high-rise building nearby.
The two of them turned to look, and when they saw the familiar figure clearly, they suddenly realized that no wonder the huge wave just disappeared instantly. It turned out that they were saved by this big boss...
Franky and Bingshan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came over to express their thanks.
"You two, what's going on?"
Nuo Xia also landed on the roof and was about to ask what happened. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the roof ridge a few meters away.
Bingshan and Franky also followed his gaze and looked over. When they saw the item clearly, they felt as if they had been hit by a giant hammer. Their pupils suddenly shrank and their faces turned pale...
It was a shabby little iron box. It seemed that it fell from the arms due to the collision just now. After rolling a few times on the roof, it finally stopped after hitting the ridge of the roof.
The originally closed iron box was opened, revealing the artwork made of parchment inside...
It’s Pluto’s design!
Frankie turned his head and glared at Bingshan quietly and fiercely, his eyes full of questions, but Bingshan couldn't refute, and his intestines were almost green with regret——
He originally kept this design drawing in a secret compartment of his speedboat. When the tsunami came and the city was in chaos, he felt uneasy, so he cut a hole on the inside of his coat and temporarily kept the iron box close to his body.
But who knows...
Due to some strange combination of circumstances, Pluto's design was actually lost, and luckily, it fell into the hands of this navy boss.
Seeing Nuo Xia bending down to pick up the iron box, he habitually looked at the parchment out of the corner of his eye.
Bingshan gritted his teeth and winked at Franky, his meaning was obvious.
——Even if it offends this big shot, the two brothers must snatch the design back from the other party before Pluto’s secret is discovered!
