Chapter 154: Zoran’s situation.
Meanwhile, the situation inside Balon City had changed more than what Alex and those three who were still chasing after him and the windrend had expected.
When Alex and the bird started to fight, the weather above Balon City had changed drastically. It went from just being cold and windy to fierce howling wind raging all around the city.
Although it wasn’t nearly as dangerous as the situation at the mountain range, the wind blowing all over Balon City was already powerful enough to lift a full-grown man off his feet!
Some old houses in the outskirts already had their roofs blown off and weak tornados that brought sand into the air were forming in different locations.
People were running to take shelter that would protect them from the strange wind; none of them dared to stay out in the open for fear of getting blown away by the powerful wind. Huge logs of wood and rooftops would fly past occasionally, and even some smaller vehicles were being pushed across the street.
Somewhere in Balon City, a group of men wearing construction workers’ jackets and yellow helmets stood under a half-completed structure. There were over twenty of them, and each one of them carried different building equipment.
Amongst these men was Zoran, Alex’s father. They were working on this construction site and had yet to finish when the weather suddenly changed. The howling wind sounded like ghost cries that threatened to send them flying if they dared to keep working, so the men had taken shelter in the incomplete structure for the time being.
One could see that only half of the roof had been put in place, and a part of it was still open; some of the wind entered the structure through this opening.
At this moment, the wind outside suddenly intensified. Loud rocking sounds could be heard from outside as if something heavy was crashing against the semi-covered roof.
Dang!
A clear sound of the roof pulling off sounded in everyone’s ears, and they all turned their heads to look.
They saw that a section of the already placed roofing was slightly lifting after the bolt holding it to the metal frame was ripped off by the wind. If left like that, the entire roofing that had already been placed would most likely be sent flying sooner or later if the wind intensified again.
