Chapter 107
Huge waves rose to the height of a dozen-story building, still continuing to climb higher.
The waves were very close to the beach. If they crashed over, they could blow all the tourists on the beach away! This was not something a few puffer fish could pull off!
Song Jixing slammed the car door shut. Without even changing his clothes, he flew over on his sword.
The tourists who were just leisurely taking photos on the beach saw this situation and screamed sharply, running madly towards the shore, trying to find a place to take shelter from the waves.
The beach, which was crowded with people just now, emptied by half in an instant.
Some props set up for photo shoots were left behind on the beach, as well as hats, bags, coats and all kinds of things.
With so many people, it was inevitable that there would be some crowding. Everyone was running for their lives, with no care for order whatsoever. A few youngsters accidentally tripped and fell. Those coming from behind either swerved to avoid them or were unable to dodge in time and directly stomped over them.
Shen Feixian was standing at the back of the crowd. He had originally wanted to wait for a gust of wind, then find a tree to tie himself to, so that the wind wouldn't blow him away.
But he didn't expect things to turn out like this either.
"You stepped on my hand!" a girl screamed, a few steps away from Shen Feixian.
Shen Feixian quickly went over to help her up and supported her to stand by a tree, generously giving up the tree he had chosen for himself.
"Holding onto this one will be safer for you."
"Thank you... But aren't you going to run?" the girl asked.
The girl had sprained her ankle when she fell just now. Even if she wanted to run, it would have been difficult.
As this kindhearted man said, it was better to hug a tree tightly - that way, she would at least have a slight chance of surviving.
Shen Feixian didn't answer her and went on to help another person up.
Busy Master Shen wandered around in the crowd for a while, helping up several fallen tourists. He also picked up a child who got separated from his parents.
It was a boy of four or five years old with chubby cheeks and a round, plump body.
Probably because he got separated from his parents and saw the giant waves, he was scared and bawling loudly! After being led away by Shen Feixian, the child cried even louder!
But he did not struggle free of Shen Feixian's hand. Shen Feixian was not very good with children and did not intend to coax the boy. Looking at the empty beach behind him, he enjoyed the rare tranquility.
"Remember to take a break when you get tired of crying!" Shen Feixian's voice drifted gently in the wind.
The little boy bawled hysterically for a long time, but never got the warmth he expected from Shen Feixian.
So he hiccupped and consciously closed his mouth, following Shen Feixian to watch the oncoming waves.
"Uncle, why don't you run?"
Shen Feixian yawned. "Uh... What's there to run from? No big deal."
At this point, the waves had climbed to their highest point, like a giant beast opening its big mouth wide, ready to swallow everything into its belly.
The waves began to crash towards the ground!
Terrified by the huge waves, the crowds rolled and crawled to find obstacles, hoping to survive this disaster.
Some people had hidden in the public toilets by the roadside early on. The originally one-person public toilet stalls became extremely crowded, crammed full even though no one could get in through the door.
Like beginners who had just started stuffing dumplings, they knew that there was no space left but still insisted on squeezing inside regardless, not minding that the filling was spilling out.
There were also some people running wildly on the open seaside highway, unleashing the potential of their lives when they saw the huge waves about to crash over them, sprinting forward at an extreme speed.
The little boy hid behind Shen Feixian and peeked at the towering waves in the sky before covering his eyes with his hands.
After a long time...
He could still hear the roaring sounds of the waves, but he was still standing there perfectly fine. What was going on?
The little boy gently opened his fingers and squinted to get a better look around.
The seawater was right over his head!
The boy shuddered in fright and immediately covered his eyes again, shivering for quite some time.
But he was not the only one behaving like this.
One minute later, everyone realized that something was amiss!
According to the laws of physics, shouldn't they have been washed away?
So why were they still here?
The crowd opened their eyes and looked up at the sky.
An enormous water curtain had blanketed the land below like a transparent glass dome, the faint sunlight filtering through and reaching the ground.
They could even see various marine life swimming freely under the water, as if they were inside an underwater museum located deep in the ocean. "Is this... special effects?"
Someone wondered aloud.
The crowds, who had been busy escaping earlier, now halted their steps and tried to locate the devices projecting all this around them.
The little boy put down his hands and bravely looked up at the sky. The fear from before was gone from his eyes.
At this moment, Shen Feixian was holding his breath and concentrating, trying to locate Song Jixing's position.
The surrounding noises were too chaotic for him to hear clearly. He couldn't see Song Jixing either.
Moreover, the unexpectedly huge waves today made Shen Feixian very worried about Song Jixing.
He didn't know how she was doing now, where she was, whether she was injured or not.
-
The reason why Shen Feixian couldn't find Song Jixing was that at this moment, Song Jixing had just dived into the sea, tracing back to the source.
Before diving underwater, Song Jixing had deployed a huge magic array that covered a radius of over ten li, enveloping the entire area.
The magic array could ensure that the waves would not wash the people on land away, but it could not guarantee that the seawater that had already gone past would not spread inland.
-
Over ten li away, a convoy of special vehicles was driving towards the seaside.
In the driver’s seat of the leading black marked off-road vehicle sat a handsome young man. A badge pinned to the left side of his chest displayed his serial number.
- T0001 The back of the badge was engraved with his initials, wx.
Wu Xiao was the team leader appointed when the Special Mission Department was first established. Before returning to China, he had made quite a name for himself on the international battlefield, with extremely rich combat experience.
Considering Wu Xiao’s various old wounds, the organization had specially permitted him to return to China to recuperate and retire.
No one expected what happened next - the Special Events Action Group was established soon after.
Through his superior, Wu Xiao learned some information about the special events and signed up to join the Special Events Action Group.
After going through a series of challenging tests, Wu Xiao finally fulfilled his wish.
Since special events frequently occurred around Y City, their secret office was temporarily set up in Y City for now.
Before setting out on every mission, Wu Xiao would mentally prepare himself to guard his beloved homeland to the death.
Looking at the sudden massive waves surging in the sky, Wu Xiao was filled with despair.
