Chapter 19



When Xie Tianlang brought Gou Fugui back through the water, the three men who had robbed Gou Fugui were already in the medical room.

The miserable state of the three men when they returned to the stadium shocked the goalkeepers and those living in the front row, so much so that Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang received many strange and wary looks when they came back.

Both Xie the werewolf and Fugui the beauty are very perceptive, not to mention that Fugui is currently in the form of a human honey badger, which comes with a built-in irritability buff.

So when someone looked at them, even though the wealthy beauty was quite weak, she still glared fiercely with her eyebrows raised, saying, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone as powerful as your father before?!"

Those who received Badger Fugui's fierce gaze immediately turned their heads away like startled rabbits. Even the gatekeeper's expression changed, and his gaze towards Fugui became quite complicated.

Gou Fugui was too engrossed in his rage to notice much, but Xie Tianlang, who was dragging him along, sensed something was off about these people.

Normally, even if Gou Fugui glared fiercely at others, they shouldn't back down so quickly because of his handsome face. It's as if they've already decided that Gou Fugui is a ruthless person they don't want to mess with.

Thinking of this, Xie Tianlang said to the doorman with a complicated expression, "I encountered three people robbing him on the street earlier. He fought back and was injured. Where is the medical room?"

After Xie Tianlang said that, the doorman's expression changed again: "He was robbed?! But those three people said he robbed them! They even said he stole their suitcases."

Xie Tianlang's face revealed a mocking expression, while the hot-tempered beauty became even more agitated: "What a joke! Dad, robbing them! Are they richer than me, or better at catching fish, swimming, or looking better?!"

"And are you blind? I don't believe no one saw them ransack my tent. I still had all the food I painstakingly retrieved yesterday inside!"

Gou Fugui's shout quickly alerted the gatekeeper. He couldn't understand why Gou Fugui would rob someone. On the contrary, Gou Fugui had too much stuff and was alone, making him an easy target for robbery.

The other people in the stadium who had been listening intently also realized what was happening, and their expressions turned sour. Jin Mantang then spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft:

"Tsk tsk tsk, three people fighting over one of someone else's things and they still haven't even fought back. And then they turn around and bite the hand that feeds them. I've never seen such a vicious person."

"It would be terrible if they targeted us, so we'd better be careful."

Everyone's expression turned even worse.

At that moment, three tall gymnasium employees in security uniforms walked over from the other side. They glanced at Xie Tianlang, then at Gou Fugui, who was bleeding from his left arm and looked disheveled, and asked them to go to the medical room.

After all, this matter is of a serious nature, and it almost reached the point of endangering lives, so we must get to the bottom of it.

Then, in the medical room, Gou Fugui met the three idiots who wanted to rob him, and witnessed their clumsy attempts to distort the truth and their shameless behavior.

The tall man whose neck he had scratched had been bandaged and the bleeding stopped, but due to excessive blood loss and the fact that the scratch had almost damaged his artery, he was now lying in a daze on the hospital bed with a high fever.

The remaining bearded man had his face wrapped in gauze, and the knife wounds on his body had been treated, making him look like a poorly made mummy with incomplete bandages.

The short, fat man was still pale and hunched over. When he saw Gou Fugui, he hunched over even more and couldn't help but take a step back. Clearly, the violent Fugui's kick to his weak point had not only caused him great physical damage but also inflicted extremely severe psychological trauma.

"Administrator, you have to stand up for us! The three of us finally found a box of stuff after a lot of trouble, and we were robbed on the way. Look how badly he hurt us! That guy is a madman!"

"Look at him, he even has that weird white hair! He might even have tattoos. We can't let this dangerous guy stay in the gym! He's awful!"

The hot-tempered rich man wanted to jump up and curse or even hit people again.

But he knew that he had to keep himself calm at this moment in order to continue to survive.

He tried to control his temper, but his eyes were still fierce: "Stop fucking talking nonsense here! I only have two sentences to say!"

"Check the security footage in the stadium. Did you run over my tent?"

"What's in that box? Dad, dare you write it down from memory with me?!"

After the angry and wealthy man uttered his words, the short, fat man who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face and the bearded man who was trying to play the victim were both speechless.

Even if they were stupid, they would know that they couldn't deny these two points, and the three security guards in the stadium would naturally understand who was lying when they saw their reaction.

That evening, the stadium security area issued a public reprimand for the egregious act of robbery and raiding other people's tents, stating that the three individuals had been punished.

Then it was emphasized that if anyone else engages in similar acts that disrupt public safety and order, they will be severely punished, and in serious cases, they will be expelled from the safe zone and have all their belongings confiscated.

The reprimand was repeated five times to ensure that everyone sheltering in the stadium heard it.

Such a notice clearly had a deterrent effect; at least in the days leading up to that night, there were far fewer people who disregarded others' feelings and loved to shout and cause trouble.

Even if disaster strikes, order hasn't collapsed. People's self-discipline must not be abandoned.

Gou Fugui was helped back to his tent by Xie Tianlang. He could tell that Xie Tianlang was quite concerned about his suddenly white hair and unusually long fingernails. But the werewolf didn't ask him a single question from beginning to end, only asking if his body could support him and if he needed help.

This considerate behavior didn't even bother Gou Fugui, who was now in a bad temper, and even earned him a little bit of goodwill. In the end, Gou Fugui shook his head, said thank you, and let him go.

In one night, the 20% self-healing bonus from the humanoid badger, Gou Fugui, was enough to restore most of his body; even the most serious knife wound on his left arm had begun to scab over. Looking at his left arm, Gou Fugui mentally patted the head of the honey badger he had photographed. Truly a king in battle, invincible among creatures of the same size!

This enhanced self-healing ability alone is enough to allow him to survive in many critical situations. Not to mention, the badger is also resilient, capable of fighting, and resistant to poison.

This is definitely an essential cute pet for surviving the apocalypse.

However, he now needs to remove the honey badger bloodline bonus and replace it with the sea otter bloodline bonus. Honey badgers are good at fighting, tanking, and surviving, but badgers living on the African continent are not very good at swimming.

So, when the wealthy beauty came out of the tent the next day, she once again had a head of smooth, thick, long, straight black ponytail.

This is the fifth day since we moved into the stadium, and there are only two days left before the "seven-day tsunami storm" deadline announced at the beginning of the stadium's safety zone.

But when Gou Fugui went out to find supplies that day, he felt heavy-hearted when he saw the floodwaters that were almost reaching the entrance of the stadium and the overcast sky that had been gloomy for so many days.

This doesn't seem like the kind of heavy rain and receding floodwaters that can be stopped within two days.

Gou Fugui made the worst-case scenario plan in his mind.

Then things started to go in the worst possible direction—

On the fifth day, Gou Fugui found a well-sealed first-aid kit and carefully placed it into his small pocket, which was only about the size of three basketballs. The first-aid kit took up the space of a basketball.

Then, considering that his honey badger friend could quickly recover his strength with honey, he stuffed twelve bottles of high-end honey from different brands into the basketball court space he had previously used for chocolates, candies, and condensed milk. He silently prayed that all the honey was genuine and not a fake made from fructose.

Otherwise, he would have drunk a bottle of honey to regain his strength, but the honey was fake, and he would have gained nothing.

He had one basketball-sized compartment left, which was filled with water and compressed biscuits. Although he wanted to put in more and better food, his otter-sized compartment was simply too small; he could only fit the most essential items.

On the sixth day, Gou Fugui swam a long way and finally found two inflatable kayaks tied together in a relatively remote water sports shop. He treasured them very much and wrapped them in two waterproof bags, and even hid one of the inflatable kayaks in a flooded bookstore on a street next to the stadium.

He needs to be prepared for both possibilities.

Then, finally, the seventh day arrived.

Everyone looked at the sky with hope, expecting the sun, which they hadn't seen for a week, to break through the clouds and shine on the earth.

However, they were disappointed in the morning.

It was still raining heavily at noon.

By the afternoon, the heavy rain seemed to have subsided slightly, and the gatekeeper looked excited and expectant.

But on the seventh night, the rain still hadn't stopped.

Everyone in the stadium fell into an indescribable silence and frustration, and some even became angry and irritable because they couldn't bear the pressure.

"Why hasn't the rain stopped yet?! Didn't you say it would stop today?!"

"It's so humid in the gymnasium, my child has developed eczema!"

"Can we still stay here? If the rain keeps going, will our entire Nanhai City be flooded by rainwater and seawater?!"

People's hearts, which were already restless, became even more unstable.

This instability continued to accumulate over the next few days, reaching its peak on the thirteenth day when the seawater flooded the stadium gates.

"Holy shit!! How the hell are we supposed to live like this?! Are you guys just going to stay here and wait to die?!"

"Where is the person in charge? Give us an answer! Hasn't the higher-ups said anything about the disaster situation here?! If the rain keeps falling, why haven't they sent a boat to pick us up?!"

"That's right! The government can't just ignore the lives of people in coastal cities like us! The rain hasn't stopped, it's gotten even heavier. You need to think of something!"

On the morning of the thirteenth day after checking into the stadium, those in the first-floor tents who had been flooded began to get angry. Gou Fugui, however, looked at his flooded mattress and sleeping bag and sighed.

Ultimately, I couldn't stay here anymore.

After hours of angry arguing inside the stadium, the stadium's loudspeakers finally began broadcasting.

[Attention all evacuees from the stadium! Following instructions from higher command, eighteen large passenger and cargo ships will arrive at the three major ports of Nanhai City (East, South, and North) in three hours to assist those evacuated from the Nanhai City flood. Upon hearing this announcement, please pack your belongings and proceed to the nearest port, Nanhai North Port!]

As soon as the announcement ended, everyone in the stadium began a frenzied rush.

Author's Note:

Badger Fortune: Those who talk about lions, tigers, and elephants... Ha! Try comparing yourself to me!

Orchid Mantis: Now that you say that, I'm no longer sleepy.

Mantis shrimp; now that you say that, Dad's not sleepy anymore.

flea: I won't listen to you saying that...

Rich and beautiful woman: Get lost! There are no fleas here! Ugly and unappealing!!
