Chapter 169 Storm

So she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Xingyue, let's not talk about this for now. In short, we are both still alive, and that's good enough."

She wanted to go forward and hold her hand, but after taking a few steps forward, she stopped when she remembered her previous move of retreating.

"Gu Qing is still injured and needs someone to take care of him. I'll leave first and we'll talk later!"

After saying this, Mulanzhi quickly turned around and left. She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she would continue to ask questions and an argument would arise.

Looking at the other person's lost back as he left, Qin Xing Mooncake did not try to keep him.

Some words come out with a sigh of relief.

She knew that the other party had many doubts in his mind, but that didn't matter.

Just let her think that their relationship has faded, and gradually, she will accept it.

It is still early now. Today it gets dark later and earlier. It is only around four or five in the afternoon, but the sky is completely dark.

Even on the boat, Qin Xingyue could feel the water flowing faster again.

She took out the book.

Boom!

There was another loud thunder and lightning, the ship shook violently, and the candle that had been lit before went out.

She walked over and relit the candle, but the next moment it was blown out by the wind.

There was a strong wind even in the room, and things were blown with a loud noise. Some light objects flew up and then fell to the ground with a loud thud.

She immediately grabbed something beside her and slowly steady herself.

Ahhhh

There were screams one after another outside, as well as the crisp sound of something falling to the ground and the dull thud of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Tonight there were not only lightning and thunder, but also heavy rain and strong winds.

The transport ship was blown on the water and its center of gravity was unstable.

"Everyone stay calm and don't run around to avoid a stampede!"

"Everyone stay where they are and try to keep steady."

The voices of Zhonghai Base members were heard outside, and they were trying their best to maintain order.

Their voices soothed some people and calmed some people down.

But it's just some people.

In this darkness where nothing can be seen, it is easy for everyone to feel fear and helplessness. Now they don’t know what is happening and the boat is still shaking violently. The fear of death makes everyone depressed and desperate.

The instinct of survival makes them want to do something.

Some people even wanted to run outside the deck, and bumped into many people while walking around.

Some people lost their balance and were blown up by the wind, then they were caught by the people next to them and fell to the ground.

Things happened one after another, and the boat was shaking more and more violently. Some people who had been relatively calm before could no longer remain calm.

No matter how much the base members scolded them, it would have no effect. Moreover, with such a strong storm, they couldn't even take care of themselves.

The wind was so strong that Qin Xingyue had a hard time standing in the room. She held onto things around her, but they were quickly blown away by the wind.

Her body staggered, and if she hadn't kept her footing steady, she would have been blown into the wall of the room by the wind.

The small pieces of furniture in the room began to dance under the blowing of the wind, and some of them even brushed directly across her cheeks.

She decisively took out a helmet from the space and put it on her head, then took out an isolation suit and put it on. After getting ready, she walked outside to check the situation.

However, she didn't expect that the door of her room was so fragile. It broke under the strong wind and then fell straight towards her.

The speed was so fast that no one could dodge it. At the critical moment, she kicked him and then punched him.

She punched a hole in the small iron door and pushed it aside. She steadied herself and walked outside.

At this moment, there was chaos outside. Some people didn't know whether they were blown by the wind or were in a panic. As soon as the door on her side opened, many people rushed towards her.

She carefully avoided them and walked quickly outside.

At first glance, the sky outside looked like there was a hole in it. Heavy rain continued to pour down, and lightning bolts continued to strike one after another.

Every bolt of lightning made a loud noise like an explosion, as if it was going to split the sky apart.

Huge waves on the water surface rushed towards the boat.

This made the ship, which was already shaky due to the wind, even more shaky.

At this moment, a lot of water has entered the ship, including the warehouse. If it continues like this, the ship will sink even if it does not capsize.

Qin Xingyue saw Yang Tian, who was organizing people to rescue people and the boat, and Gao Le was among them.

As for the injured Gu Xuanwu, he stood in a corner with a pale face, holding on to his back tightly.

And beside him, there was a member of the Zhonghai Base, guarding him closely.

As for the other people on the boat, some found a safe place and stood there, not daring to move, while others ran around in panic.

Objects blown by the wind would hit people from time to time, and some people's bodies were blown up directly.

Some lucky ones were stopped by others, or were simply blown down by the wind and grabbed something immediately.

But some people were blown out and fell out of the boat.

There were continuous screams ringing in my ears.

The wind came so suddenly that no one was prepared.

However, many people quickly calmed down after the panic and tried their best to stabilize their bodies. Those who still had strength left joined the rescue efforts, and some people began to pour out the water using tools on the boat.

Some people, under Yang Tian's command, tried to find a way to stabilize the boat.

Everyone was trying to save themselves, and they all knew that if anything happened to the ship, none of them would be able to escape.

After all, now that we are outside the sea city, there are not even any tall buildings, and there is water on all sides. If you fall down, the chances of surviving are very slim.

"Ah, my child—"

"Mom, save me"

A woman's desperate scream was heard, as well as a little girl's scream.

A mother had been holding her daughter and standing in a certain place with several people, but just now a strong wind blew and the boat became unstable. The mother staggered and let go of her daughter's hand, and her daughter was blown away.

"Save her, save my daughter."

She screamed in despair and rushed towards the little girl, but she lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground. Some people around her wanted to help, but when they moved, their bodies also swayed. They were so scared that they immediately retreated and held on tightly to the things around them.

The mother closed her eyes in despair. She couldn't bear to watch any longer and two lines of tears left her eyes.

"Hold on tight, don't let go!"

At this moment, a clear female voice came to her ears.
