"The National Marine Forecasting Center upgraded the sea wave and storm surge warning levels to red today."

"According to the provisions of the Marine Disaster Emergency Plan, the Ministry of Natural Resources today launched a Level II emergency response to typhoon marine disasters, reminding the southern coastal areas, especially the coast of XX City, to strictly guard against storm surge disasters..."

…

In the shabby bar, apart from the sparse sound of rain outside, the only thing that could be heard was the TV hanging on the wall telling of the recent abnormal celestial phenomena.

It was pouring rain outside and there were few customers in the bar at the moment, so the owner was bored and pressed the TV remote control, hoping to find a program to kill time on the TV station in his hometown.

It’s just that the news on TV never stops. It seems that no matter which channel you switch to, it’s reporting on this sudden weather disaster.

The boss did not try to watch local programs in Vietnam because there was actually no difference. Now the mainstream media around the world are focusing on reporting this unprecedented natural disaster.

A typhoon with extremely strong winds is still blowing around the southern tip of Vietnam, and tens of thousands of people are still missing in the area where the typhoon is.

This kind of thing is bound to attract the attention of the whole world.

"This damn weather, is it going to stop raining?"

The boss curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Compared with the excitement of media people around the world and the pain of the relatives of the missing persons, he felt very dissatisfied.

The super typhoon seemed to have taken root in the southern part of Yue State. It blew in that area for a full ten days without moving at all.

Correspondingly, this unprecedented super typhoon also brought huge impacts.

As a Chinese who opened a shop in Vietnam, he was inevitably affected by this.

Because of the series of climate chain reactions brought about by the typhoon, even though he was not in the southern part of Yue State, he was still disturbed by the heavy rain, and there had been few customers in the bar for ten days.

Turning his eyes away from the TV, the boss looked at the old-style ceiling of the bar, listened to the vague sound of rain blocked by the wall, and fell into silence.

This kind of weather really makes people feel depressed.

Or... take this opportunity to close the business and lie down for a few days?

Anyway, in such heavy rainy weather, generally no one would go out in the rain to drink.

Such an idea flashed through the boss's mind.

As I was thinking, the cell phone on my body began to vibrate.

When I opened my phone, I saw two unread text messages.

One of them is a message from the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam: [The Chinese Embassy in Vietnam hereby reminds all overseas Chinese to reduce going out as much as possible without special circumstances. Overseas Chinese near the southern tip of Vietnam please prepare enough dry food, as the spread and movement of the super typhoon cannot be guaranteed...]

This message is very long and is filled with various precautions. It can be said that all the details that can be taken into consideration are explained.

The boss did not read it carefully. He felt that the storm had nothing to do with him and he could just ignore it.

He just continued to look at the other message.

That was a message from his old friend Ren Junsheng: [Stay in the bar, wait for me! ]

The boss frowned at the message.

He looked out through the window of the bar and saw that it was only noon outside, but it was already dark as if it was approaching evening, and heavy rain was pouring down without stopping.

The weather had been like this for the past ten days, and he had never seen the sun. Even if it stopped raining, the heavy dark clouds would remain until the next time it rained.

"Is there something you can't talk about over the phone? Why would you come here in the pouring rain?"

The boss curled his lips and complained, then started playing with his phone without saying anything else.

The idea of ​​closing the business immediately was slightly dispelled.

After all, no matter how confused he was, Ren Junsheng was still his most important friend.

During the first two years after he arrived in Yue State, thanks to Ren Junsheng, who had many connections, he was helped several times, and was able to gradually gain a foothold in this foreign country.

So, the boss chose to suppress his doubts and played with his phone while waiting for Ren Junsheng to arrive.

Not long after, a series of rapid and sharp brake sounds came through the well-soundproofed walls of the bar.

Hearing the sound, the bar owner who was playing on his phone raised his head.

The door of the bar was suddenly smashed open.

The noise from the outside world immediately came in unhindered, and the sound of heavy rain struck the bar owner's eardrums, making him frown.

Behind the door that was hastily opened, there was a sturdy man in a black raincoat, standing at the door, panting.

"Junsheng, why are you in such a hurry?"

The boss stood up puzzledly and walked towards his friend who had obviously put on his raincoat in a hurry.

"Xue Li, help me!"

Hearing this, Ren Junsheng stared at the bar owner with eyes that seemed to be filled with tears or rain.

The bar owner named Yang Xueli looked at his old friend with red eyes and felt a little confused for a moment.

This is...what happened? "Don't worry, Junsheng, sit down first."

Yang Xueli supported Junsheng's arm and pulled him to sit on a chair in the bar.

Then he closed the door that let in the wind and rain. The good sound insulation made the sound of wind and rain that was whistling in his ears just now stop abruptly.

Looking helplessly at the puddle of water that had accumulated inside the door in such a short period of time, Yang Xueli turned around and looked at Ren Junsheng, who seemed to have calmed down while sitting on the chair.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

Yang Xueli sat opposite Ren Junsheng and asked his good friend with some confusion.

"My brother used to wander around all the time. He often didn't bring his phone with him in order to stay away from me, his brother."

Ren Junsheng spoke slowly.

"Yeah, Xiao Ren is still not sensible enough now."

Yang Xueli nodded, feeling deeply touched by the younger brother of his good friend.

It is obvious that the elder brother is a small entrepreneur who is doing well, but the younger brother is just a gangster.

"I originally thought he was out of contact because he was naughty as usual, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I just took the time to deal with some supplies that were easily affected by the heavy rain."

"but……"

"When I saw the news this morning about 20,000 people trapped and missing on Mui Ne Island, I suddenly realized something: is he trapped there?"

“So I spent the whole morning calling people to look into my brother’s whereabouts over the past few days, and finally found out… he seemed to have really gone to Mui Ne more than ten days ago.”

When Ren Junsheng said this, he looked somewhat helpless.

Hearing this, Yang Xueli frowned.

This is no small matter.

Although he has always been indifferent to the super typhoon, he is quite familiar with some relevant information under the round-the-clock news bombardment of those excited media people these days.

This typhoon is definitely an unprecedented super typhoon.

Although the TV station in my hometown said it was above Level 17, that’s only because the highest typhoon rating is only Level 17.

According to the intelligence released by excited media people around the world, this super typhoon appeared suddenly and without any warning.

Most importantly, the typhoon was so powerful that weather planes dispatched from all over the world were completely unable to get in. They were directly crashed by the strong winds, heavy rains, and lightning from a distance.

A large number of weather radars on islands near southern Vietnam and weather ships at sea were basically destroyed by the strong winds and the huge waves that followed.

At present, the world can only rely on meteorological satellites to observe and study this super typhoon from a distance.

Mui Ne Island is where this super typhoon has been for ten days since its birth. Being trapped there is really no small matter.

If Ren Junsheng's brother was really trapped there, it would be very dangerous.

It is not surprising that the surface of the small tourist town of Mui Ne Island was completely bald due to the high-intensity winds in the past ten days.

And the ensuing tsunami was enough to devastate Mui Ne Island.

"I've been to Mui Ne, and there are quite a few good places to take shelter from the wind and rain..."

Yang Xueli had not yet finished his words of comfort.

He was interrupted by Ren Junsheng who stretched out his hand.

Ren Junsheng looked at Yang Xueli with red eyes: "You don't need to comfort me, I know how severe this storm is."

Hearing this, Yang Xueli couldn't help but fall silent.

The TV that was still broadcasting the news also broadcast the news at an inappropriate time: [The Vietnamese government announced that the rescue work for the many people on Mui Ne Island, the center of the storm, is still being actively carried out...]

[The World Red Cross and many social organizations are preparing for disaster relief work, and a number of possible relief supplies are being prepared...]

Listening to these news that he didn't care much about in the past, Yang Xueli became more serious than ever before.

From these evasive speeches, he keenly noticed that there was almost no news mentioning the specific situation on Mui Ne Island.

"I have used my connections to find out. The sea waves are too strong. All the sea rescue plans organized by various countries have failed in simulations."

"As for the rescue on land, it is not easy either. The thirteen teams jointly organized by various countries have lost contact. Now we don't know what happened."

"All outside rescue organizations are now in the dark. They have no idea what is happening inside the storm. Electromagnetic signals cannot be transmitted, satellites cannot penetrate the dense clouds, planes cannot fly in, ships cannot cross the turbulent sea, and land forces lose contact as soon as they enter..."

As if stimulated by the TV news, Ren Junsheng kept talking crazily.

He wanted to save his brother.

But judging from the current situation, he seems to have no solution at all.

Such a mighty force of nature has deterred many countries from exploring, not to mention a small Vietnamese Chinese businessman like him.

Perhaps his brother has already...

"Calm down, Junsheng."

“According to the typhoon weather maps published in the news, Mui Ne has basically been in the eye of this super typhoon.”

"It's the center of low pressure, which is safer than other areas of the typhoon."

Yang Xueli held the shoulders of Ren Junsheng, who was already a little crazy, with a serious and earnest expression.

He knew that his friend, who was on the verge of collapse, came to him because he was at a loss and craved comfort.

"But there are still tsunamis, heavy rains... and tens of thousands of other survivors who are emotionally unstable in the disaster."

"He may have..."

Ren Junsheng was halfway through his speech when he suddenly heard a loud shout calling his name.

"Ren Junsheng!"

"Your brother must still be alive!"

Yang Xueli widened his eyes seriously and yelled at his good friend.

This roar made Ren Junsheng look at him in a daze.

Ren Junsheng, who had blocked eight swords for Yang Xueli without crying, now had red eyes and a look of helplessness and confusion on his face.

"Let's go, let's go now."

"Go find your brother!"

Yang Xueli said this, waved his hand, turned around and walked towards his rest room behind the bar to pack his things.

………………………………

The storm caused by Yong Zhou was within controllable range and did not harm anyone.

However, the impact it produced caused a huge uproar throughout the world.

All kinds of people are affected.

Some ordinary people, like Yang Xueli and Ren Junsheng, were eager to go to Mui Ne. Some media people were celebrating the news that shocked the world. Some people were moved by the terrifying power of nature. Some people were sad because of the loss of contact after 20,000 people were trapped.

While the disappearance of 20,000 people provided a reasonable explanation, it also shocked the whole world.

The rescue organizations jointly established by various countries seem somewhat powerless in the face of this natural disaster.

The power of nature.

It is vividly reflected in this moment.

The elites from various countries in the rescue organizations see this point most clearly. They have never felt for a moment that human beings are so insignificant.

Elites from various countries have been working together for ten days to study the typhoon and rescue the trapped people, but there has been no progress so far.

In addition to evacuating the relatives of the missing persons and the journalists who were willing to risk their lives to get closer, a rough list of the trapped people was analyzed based on the traffic records from more than ten days ago and social information on the Internet.

These elites don't seem to have achieved anything in this matter.

Not to mention rescuing the trapped people who had lost contact, they didn't even know the specific situation of those trapped people at the moment.

Thick dark clouds obscured the satellites, and strong winds, heavy rains, lightning, and waves blocked the progress of planes, ships, and vehicles.

Not only can people not get in, but they can’t get information either.

The distribution of the trapped people, the casualties of the trapped people, the damage to the urban area...all the urgently needed information is completely unknown.

They can only try their best to control the information channels to avoid the impact of these negative news, and then try their best to find ways to solve it all.

While the elites of various countries were busy working around the clock, several decision-makers in the highest authorities of the three major countries, China, Europe and the United States, gathered together via video link to discuss things that seemed to have nothing to do with the disaster relief.

Although they were not talking about the power of nature, the shock on their faces was no less than those who were impressed by the power of nature.

Because these senior executives know a lot.

They knew that their team investigating supernatural powers had just arrived in Mui Ne, and then such a strange and powerful super typhoon appeared there.

The whole world is shocked by this thing, shocked by the various abnormal phenomena and strength of the super typhoon.

But they are sure that this strange typhoon is definitely related to those extraordinary powers.

When they thought about the fact that the supernatural power they wanted to investigate could cause such an outrageous commotion, the top leaders of the three countries couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
