As an island in the South Pacific, there are no measures to deal with typhoons here. After all, theoretically, there will never be a typhoon here in this lifetime.
Therefore, when the extreme wind came, the buildings on the island began to shake.
There were sounds of things falling from shelves, but more often there were loud noises of signs on the roofs being blown away.
The higher the altitude, the faster the wind speed.
Clang——
A billboard was blown into the sky. The sign, which could have killed one or two people, was spinning like a piece of paper and torn into pieces by the strong wind.
In almost an instant, the sky in Lu Ban's vision was occupied by a typhoon.
The rumbling thunder caused the window glass to begin to tremble slightly, and the lightning that appeared and disappeared between the dark clouds seemed as if it would strike the earth at any moment, which was frightening.
Snap, snap, snap——
Some windows and doors that were not closed properly made loud slapping noises due to the wind. Raindrops began to fall at this time, and within just a few seconds, it turned into heavy rain, merging the sky and the ocean into one.
The wind is still picking up.
On the sea near the island, the ships preparing to return to the port were tossed on the waves. The waves surged one after another, gradually rising. Soon, the waves exceeded the tops of the ships. Some small boats were directly overturned by the waves and sought help in the turbid sea water. Some larger ships tried to stay stable in these continuous, mountain-like waves, but the sea did not give them such an opportunity. The ruthless wind overturned them and rushed towards the port.
Bang——
The huge ship hit the port's pier. The heavy metal hit the concrete structure, causing severe deformation. The fishermen inside were thrown out and washed ashore by the waves.
The wind is still picking up.
The tablet computer beeped again. Lu Ban saw that the text in this alert was incomplete. Obviously, the signal had been affected and the island had completely lost contact with the outside world.
"What is that?"
Shia warned, pointing into the air.
Lu Ban looked up in the direction Xia's finger pointed.
High in the sky, a dark shadow was drifting with the current, forming a huge circle under the strong wind.
Lu Ban looked carefully and found that it was actually a small plane.
The strong wind circle has come near the airport. Most of the light small planes used to shuttle between islands have been blown directly into the sky, spinning and blending into the storm.
This is almost impossible to do in theory, but in the final analysis, it is just something that has not been seen in human history.
In the ancient times, when humans were still apes, and even the ancestors of these apes were just rodents in the forest, there was a rainy season that lasted for millions of years on the wild land. The storms at that time were far larger than they are today, condensing, growing, and sweeping away everything on the vast ocean.
And now, this storm seems to have traveled through time and come to the modern era.
A normal typhoon will weaken quickly after making landfall, bringing wind and rain, and eventually turn into a tropical storm and dissipate without a trace.
But facing a storm of this magnitude, the island was just a small reef and could not weaken its impact in the slightest.
The waves in the distance were surging. Most of the buildings along the coast had been destroyed by the waves. The sky darkened and the rain was like a wall, isolating the entire world.
Lu Ban saw that the small plane seemed to have finally broken free from the strong wind. It lost the strength to continue to support itself in mid-air and flew towards where Lu Ban was.
"!!!"
Lu Ban hurriedly grabbed Amber and ran towards the convenience store.
Bang——
With a loud bang, the plane hit the second floor of a house across the street. The huge impact force directly blew off the ceiling of the second floor. Before the residents inside could react, they were swept away by the storm and flew high into the sky. Their screams became muffled.
Lu Ban and the others fled into a convenience store. It was meaningless to hold an umbrella at this time, as the rain would blow towards them from all directions. There was even the possibility of being attacked by stones, ship fragments, and various unidentified objects in the rain.
"Shit! What kind of rain is this?!"
The convenience store clerk cursed out loud. The noise outside was too terrifying. He could only cover his ears and squat behind the cash register, hoping to survive this typhoon.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and Lu Ban felt something was wrong. He asked Amber and Xia to hide under the cash register, and he immediately went to the shelf, picked up two flashlights and installed batteries.
The continuous sound like firecrackers quickly approached this side. Lu Ban looked at the wall of the convenience store. The concrete wall was shaking and cracking.
Boom——
The next moment, the wall shattered.
Flying rocks splashed out and hit the shelf in front of Lu Ban. The stainless steel shelf was immediately shattered, along with the potato chips, snacks, drinks, and all kinds of things in it. At once, all kinds of things rushed towards Lu Ban.
He immediately turned around and ran, feeling something splashing on his back. Lu Ban was very thankful that there were several supermarket shelves in front of him, most of the impact was blocked by these shelves, and he was not hit by the first round of flying stones.
With a leap forward, Lu Ban rolled behind the cashier counter.
The next moment, countless commodities rushed over like waves and covered the four people's heads.
Ketchup, instant noodles, olive oil, sunscreen, all kinds of things mixed together, covering them like quicksand.
Amber hugged Lu Ban. She was not really scared. Amber, who already had the relevant memories, could face this situation without changing her expression or heartbeat. Even if there was any danger, she could summon those black shadow monsters to protect herself and Lu Ban.
But is now the time to talk about this?
Xia hugged her head. All she could hear was the noise outside, like the noisiest KTV. All kinds of chaotic sounds occupied her eardrums, making it impossible to think. She could only curl up her body tightly, worried that she would be blown away by the wind.
The noise lasted about ten minutes.
Accompanied by some extreme buzzing sound, Xia Ya felt that it was quiet outside.
She did not act rashly, but waited a moment longer before trying to stand up.
Xia should be thankful that the wind was strong enough, otherwise she would probably be covered in debris.
After pushing away the slightly heavy snack fragments and a few boards that were not blown away, Xia was able to stand up.
The first thing she saw was a wall.
The wall extends infinitely upwards and to the left and right, forming a closed loop.
Xia saw that most of the houses on the entire island had a layer cut off, and the ceiling of the building where the convenience store was located was directly lifted up, as if a naughty child had roughly cut a cake with a fruit knife.
She felt uncomfortable and looked up.
All I saw was a black sun hanging high in the center of the storm.
