"I should have gone to the highest point. Staying here is so nerve-wracking, I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown."
Seeing that the floodwaters were about to reach the 125th floor, Junjue smiled and said, "Wan'er, come with me, let's go to the big yacht."
"Okay," Wan'er followed her boyfriend to another empty room. After opening the window, Junjue released a huge speedboat from his spatial dimension, carried Wan'er in his arms, and teleported onto it to sit down, preparing to drive the speedboat to rescue people.
At this moment, the 124th floor was submerged by the surging floodwaters, which were rapidly approaching the 125th floor. Despair and fear enveloped everyone's hearts, and all the survivors had no choice but to gather in a corner of the 125th floor.
On this floor, everyone's face was filled with fear and despair.
Their eyes were empty and lifeless, as if they had lost all hope.
Suddenly, the roar of an engine rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
To everyone's surprise, they could hear the sound of a yacht outside.
Those familiar with yachts were pleasantly surprised to learn that this fast speedboat was equipped with exceptionally robust gear and could certainly withstand the impact of a flood.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Great! We're saved! This is the fastest speedboat in the world, and it's not only huge but also incredibly sturdy!"
"Really? Good heavens! I thought I was going to drown here today."
"My God! It's a miracle! The floodwaters outside are almost up to the 125th floor."
"I don't care where the speedboat got here, as long as it can take us to a safe haven."
"Once we get out, we must go to higher ground and never stay in the city again. This flood was truly terrifying."
Everyone was so moved that they cried, thanking fate for bringing them such a rescue.
After their initial excitement, the group's attention was drawn to a glimmer of light outside the door. They hurriedly pulled their loved ones toward it. When they finally opened the door, the scene before them was almost unbelievable.
Outside the lobby on the 125th floor, a huge, high-speed speedboat was moored, surrounded by various rescue equipment. Standing on the speedboat were two people wearing masks and matching black outfits.
Their eyes revealed determination and resolve, and when the survivors saw them, they wept with joy; they had finally found hope.
"Come on up! We'll get you out of here! But we'll save you from those three in the corner, the ones in black suits, pink dresses, and green cheongsams."
"If any of you let that family of three come aboard, I'll destroy the ship today and kill you all here!" the King shouted, his voice echoing throughout the hall.
Upon hearing the captain's words, the survivors glanced intently at the family of three in the corner to prevent them from following them. The others ignored the others and quickly organized the group, who were then brought aboard the speedboat.
Upon hearing the captain's words, Shangguan Hong, Liu Li, and Shangguan Mingyue trembled. Shangguan Hong, his hands trembling with fear and uncertainty, said:
"Captain, is there some misunderstanding between us?"
Why were all the people here saved, except for our family of three? There are over a hundred people here.
“That’s right! Captain, we have no grudge against each other, why should we stand by and watch someone die?” Shangguan Mingyue watched as everyone boarded the speedboat. Her family of three also wanted to go on board, but they were stopped by everyone.
"Don't even think about coming aboard. Just stay alive! Otherwise, you'll kill everyone on this boat." When the people who boarded the speedboat saw a family trying to squeeze on, a dozen people threw the family overboard before continuing to board the speedboat.
"That's right, didn't you hear what the captain said? You want to trap us so we can't leave? We absolutely won't allow it."
"Pah!" The last middle-aged man spat at the three men and hurriedly went back to the boat.
He closed the yacht door, grinned wickedly, and said, "You three don't look like good people at all. You must have offended the captain, otherwise why wouldn't he let you on board?" Then he turned and left without looking back.
Shangguan Hong, Shangguan Wan'er, and Liu Li stared at the people, their faces pale, and shouted:
"The flood is about to submerge this floor! Please let our family get on the boat! I beg you."
Shangguan Mingyue felt the floodwaters spreading up to her feet, and her fear grew stronger and stronger. She screamed in terror.
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. How can you just stand by and watch us die? How can you treat us like this?"
"Please, please let our family up! The floodwaters have reached the 125th floor!" Liu Li looked at the floodwaters that had reached her knees in horror, and was so frightened that she wet herself with a warm sensation in her crotch.
The three people desperately pounded on the closed door of the speedboat, pleading repeatedly, watching in fear as the floodwaters rose higher and higher, crying and beating at this only straw in front of them.
"Wan'er, did you see those people who bullied you? The fear on everyone's face, the despair of being about to drown, did you feel happy seeing that?"
"Otherwise, let them stay out of the water a little longer, until the floodwaters reach their necks, then rescue them." When the Duke finished speaking, the floodwaters had already reached the thighs of the three men.
Seeing the three heartless people begging for mercy in despair in the lobby of the 125th floor, Shangguan Wan'er felt a sense of satisfaction.
"It was so satisfying to see them begging and crying on their knees. I begged them the same way back then, asking them not to throw me to the mutant mosquitoes, but they still heartlessly abandoned me."
He looked at Wan'er with heartache, gently stroked her soft, shoulder-length hair, and comforted her, "They don't want you, but I do. I will protect you from now on and make your life a thousand times better than being with them."
"Help! Please let my family out! The flood is about to drown us!" Liu Li cried out in terror as she looked at the floodwaters that were almost up to her neck.
"Captain... if... we... have offended you in any way, please... spare us this time!" Shangguan Hong begged in fear and panic, feeling the rising water level beneath him, already drenched in the floodwaters.
"I really don't want to die now! I'm still young, I'm only fourteen!"
"Captain, please let us aboard! We'll give you anything you want, we'll even spend the night with you, just spare our lives!" Shangguan Mingyue pleaded, her eyes red and trembling.
The water was up to her neck. She couldn't swim and was so scared that she kept thrashing around. She swallowed a lot of water that had been used to soak dead people, which made her vomit repeatedly and turn pale.
Upon hearing Shangguan Mingyue's words, Jun Jue frowned and said coldly:
"Why don't we just drown them and sail away?"
