Chapter 68
The green surrounding Gu Qingming was put away the moment he opened the door. The villa area was built on a high ground around Qianlong Lake. There were beautiful scenery on all sides, and he could overlook everything around him from the height advantage. He did not need the induction of supernatural powers. Standing at the door of the villa courtyard facing Qianlong Lake, he could see the wonderful scenery at a glance.
“Beep—beep—”
The sounds of windshield wipers and rain overlapped, and there was also the sound of car horns honking in the distance.
At a glance, there were already quite a few people standing scattered in front of the villa area overlooking the lake, which was located at the highest point. Flashlights were scattered in the rain, reflecting the dense raindrops like pouring rain.
No one spoke, only exclamations came one after another.
Chu Zhongyuan and the others who had chased after him were all stunned behind Gu Qingming.
Because the scene that appeared on the distant lake was too shocking.
That is... the power of nature.
A huge water dragon twisted and took shape in the extremely low sky and on the dark to black-gray lake surface, swaying from side to side, just like a dragon breaking out of the water in mythology.
A thin mist dissipated below the water surface, while the clouds above took on a swirling black shape, like a giant eye that wanted to suck away all the water from Qianlong Lake.
"Waterspout..."
Gu Qingming immediately called out the name of this natural phenomenon.
It was a spectacular natural phenomenon that they were all familiar with and had appeared in geography workbooks.
Waterspout, also known as dragon-sucking water and dragon-hanging water, is a violent local weather phenomenon that occurs over lakes and seas. Its upper end is connected to thunderstorm clouds, and its lower end extends directly to the water surface. It often rotates and moves at the same time, forming a spectacular "waterspout" phenomenon.
The terrifying vibration just now should be the mysterious concentration fluctuation space shock caused by the rapid gathering of the mysterious water-attributed factors.
Waterspouts are already spectacular and rare to see, but now, with the influence of the mysterious water factor, the single-shaped water column tornado bends into the shape of a dragon in mid-air, constantly changing, and becoming more lifelike.
Gu Qingming felt as if he had found the origin of the Qianlong legend in Qianlong Lake.
Affected by the mysterious factor, the water tornado kept changing its shape between the lake and the sky, like a real dragon, creating clouds and rain.
"It's raining too hard... The terrain around Qianlong Lake... It's very easy to get flooded."
Luo Dong heard a middle-aged man standing not far from him muttering. He had some impression of this man. He seemed to be his neighbor next door and a professor at Lantai University.
"flood……"
Luo Dong seemed to be hit by something and suddenly thought of this possibility.
The waterspout continued to stir up waves and the rain became heavier and heavier, until it was almost impossible to stand in the rain and wind.
"If the sound of the bell is thunder, then the evil dragon is coming... everything is flooded... so that's what it means?! Is that guy a prophet?"
Luo Dong blurted out in disbelief. Before he could open his mouth, he heard screams coming from the side of the villa area, accompanied by people shouting in unison.
"Run! Run! Run quickly! The water is coming!"
“Go back quickly!!!”
“Beep—”
Seven or eight people in raincoats were shouting frantically at the edge of the villa area. Two sports cars that were obviously worth a lot of money were used as horns, and the sharp sirens sounded. Luo Dong recognized that they were the owners of the nearby villas and the community security guards. The man in the expensive black high-tech raincoat used to show off the expensive price of his raincoat to Luo's father every day.
The four high school students didn't bother to worry and quickly ran to the side of the high ground and looked down.
The villa area is adjacent to many residential areas. There are many five- or six-story residential buildings distributed below the high ground. Feeling the terrible tremor just now, they all put on a raincoat and ran out, looking at the torrential rain at a loss.
Not far from them, looking down from a high place, they could clearly see a huge stream of water overflowing from nowhere, mixed with all kinds of debris and branches, rushing towards the residential buildings in the low places.
There are many residents staying outside the building. Once the flood comes, they will be submerged instantly, which is very dangerous.
“Go!!!”
Several owners wearing raincoats were still shouting frantically, but the rain was too heavy and the violent sound of the rain completely covered up their voices and turned them into hazy and blurred segments.
The unstoppable black water flow was getting closer and closer, and people who were afraid of another earthquake could not turn around and run into residential buildings.
"Quick, let's go to the less crowded side and stack the en factors together!"
An idea came to Gu Qingming's mind, but he didn't know if it was feasible. Although they could not use their supernatural powers in front of ordinary people, Cao Sheng also told them that they should be flexible.
For CPA, human life is the top priority at all times. As long as as many lives as possible can be saved, even if the rules and regulations of the Psychic Guidelines are violated, the punishment will not be too severe.
Gu Qingming looked at the people at the foot of the mountain who were stunned by the terrible natural disaster. In the heavy rain that blurred everyone into vague shadows, they didn't know who their indispensable family members were.
"We can't get through in time...!"
Zheng Qiuji shouted as he looked at the approaching flood.
Chu Zhongyuan suddenly had an idea and shouted with all his might: "I brought my light painting laser pen and projector!!!"
Like a prelude to the beginning, as agreed upon.
The four high school students silently counted three, two, one in their hearts, and at the same time released the en factor as much as possible, outlining the five big words "Flood, go to higher places" in the air.
Four different kinds of light shine together, layered on top of each other, maximizing visibility.
Light painting laser pens can only create an effect similar to the en factor in a camera by using the camera's long exposure mode to capture the movement of the light source. A projector cannot present a clear image without a screen.
However, the people around were basically middle-aged or even elderly people who were not aware of the relevant parties and could easily conceal it. The purpose of shouting was to minimize the doubts of the crowd about the sudden appearance of handwriting and to facilitate the actions of the logistics department to some extent.
The moment the five big words were constructed by the en factor, the people on the street below were startled at first, and then ran frantically to the upper floors.
Qianlong Lake has experienced flood disasters before. The moment the word "flood" appeared, they knew what they should do.
After the streets were empty, in just a dozen seconds, the horrific flood rushed towards the streets with a devastating force, directly floating the cars parked on the road. Fortunately, the foundations of the residential buildings here were strong enough, and they did not waver in the face of the devastating flood.
Four high school students squeezed back from the noisy crowd, trying their best to reduce their presence.
Fortunately, it was raining heavily, the flashlights were dazzling, and the waterspout attracted a lot of people's attention. Everyone was paying attention to the safety of the people below, and not many people saw Gu Qingming and his companions who had left with great fame and honor.
"Phew...that's scary."
When he reached the back of the crowd, Zheng Qiuji’s legs went weak and he almost fell down.
The terrible power of the flood gave people a huge sense of oppression even when viewed from a distance. Zheng Qiuji couldn't imagine what a terrible scene it would have been if there were still people staying on the street at the moment when the flood overflowed the street and washed up the debris.
Hell on earth is nothing more than this.
"…It's not over yet, look over there."
Gu Qingming adjusted his black-framed glasses and pointed at the huge water dragon that was still causing trouble on the lake.
"It's only going to get more intense here if it doesn't stop."
The introduction to CPA's Mysterious Natural Disasters online course contains information about water dragons. Once a water dragon appears, as long as it does not disappear, it will have a lasting impact on the surrounding areas.
Now the entire Lantai City is probably on alert because of the terrible waterspout.
While CPA ensures the stability of the urban area, even if a rescue team is dispatched immediately for emergency rescue, it will not be enough to quench the immediate thirst.
“What else can we do…”
Luo Dong was slightly stunned when he saw the tree with half of its branches submerged in water.
Since joining CPA, he has felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
"Don't be discouraged, maybe we can still do something now..."
Chu Zhongyuan looked at the devastation left by the flood, and the low-lying areas that had completely submerged the streets. He was silent for a moment, "For example... the Dingshuizhu that He Bo donated as a friendly favor."
Gu Qingming's eyes lit up and he took out the water-fixing beads he carried with him from his pocket.
"He Bo is the river god of Shu River... With the power of the fifth-level mysterious peak, he should be able to control the raging water flow to some extent. Let me think about it..."
"He Bo said in the letter that as long as the water-fixing beads are thrown into the relevant water area, the power of the water-fixing beads will automatically begin to take effect."
Gu Qingming looked at Qianlong Lake not far away, which was almost at his feet.
There is a small protruding area of water on the side of Qianlong Lake facing the villa area. However, for Dingshuizhu, it can play its role as long as it is in the same water area.
"Would you like to try a long-distance airdrop?"
Gu Qingming sounded like he had been assimilated to a great extent by Chu Zhongyuan, and at the critical moment he began to use interesting metaphors to try to ease the atmosphere.
The protruding water made it easier for them to place the water beads. However, although the protruding water area shortened the distance, it was still about 400 meters away from them.
They had never used their supernatural powers to control an object to move so far before, and if they were not careful, they would fail.
"Try it with a stone of similar weight first."
Several people moved to a place with their backs to the crowd. Chu Zhongyuan groped on the ground for a long time and picked up a stone that was similar in size to the Dingshui Bead.
Zheng Qiuji thought for a moment and first thought of the word spirit skill that he had just researched and was still in the experimental stage.
"Okay, I'll take this opportunity to try out my new skill that can enhance a certain state."
He gave Gu Qingming a smile.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Gu for this ability."
Zheng Qiuji turned his back to the crowd, and a copper-colored chain of characters appeared in front of him.
[“The Master said: ‘To learn with a view to practising what one has learned from time to time, is that not a pleasure?’”]
In an instant, Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan both felt that their control over the en factor had increased.
"Superpowers need to be developed."
Looking at Zheng Qiuji who had actually developed a new word spirit skill because of his casual suggestion, Gu Qingming heard Cao Sheng's voice again.
Not every superpower can only achieve a fixed effect on a fixed track. They have infinite possibilities as long as you dare to imagine and try.
Just like people.
