Chapter 595: They’re Here!
As it got closer, it heard more clearly.
Not only did it hear the chaotic noise, but it also sensed a familiar presence.
They were coming!
Haha, splendid, they actually came! It thought it wouldn’t know how long it would have to wait, but unexpectedly, in just a few days, they came again.
This time, it would definitely not let them go, it was determined to devour them piece by piece.
However, after the excitement, the Water Monster became worried. This was a park; they had come just a few days ago, and almost lost their lives, why were they here again?
From the sound, it seemed they brought a lot of people. What were they planning to do? Could it be that they wanted to kill it?
Thinking of this possibility, the Water Monster’s expression darkened, its body exuding malice and a murderous intent. Kill it? Ha, let’s see who kills whom?
With these thoughts, the Water Monster suddenly went berserk. It churned up the water in the lake, causing a sudden tidal surge. Moreover, it was not far from the shore, so the tide rose suddenly and violently, quickly flooding over the shore, rushing towards those standing there.
Jiang Xue was thinking about how to lure the Water Monster out, to the surface of the water, when she suddenly saw the tide rising and shouted, "The tide is rising, move away quickly!"
She grabbed Qian Cheng and Shangguan Wenbin beside her, and retreated towards the small hill behind. The others heeded Jiang Xue’s warning and also hastily retreated to safety.
Yet, a few who were slower were swept into the lake by the tide.
"Help, help!" The people swept into the lake cried out, including a biologist, a journalist, and someone who had been shooed away but sneaked back to watch the commotion.
Those who had just retreated to the small hill had not yet caught their breath when they heard the cries for help. They looked up and saw people in the lake, their expressions turning grim.
Earlier, Jiang Xue had already warned them of the danger by the lake, telling everyone not to get too close, yet no one listened. Thinking of this, the person in charge was furious but helpless—people were already in the lake. If there was indeed a Water Monster, it’s unlikely those people would survive.
By then, the responsibility would definitely fall on him. Thinking of this, he regretted deeply not heeding Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue’s warnings, regretted not getting people to leave.
But now it was too late for regret; he could only think of how to remedy the situation. For this, he turned to look at Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue and asked, "Is there a way to save them?"
"With waves this big, how do we save them?" Before Mu Qiancheng could answer, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but interject.
Thinking of how she had warned them earlier and how no one, not even the person in charge, listened, she was furious.
If they had listened, this wouldn’t have happened.
As for Mu Qiancheng, he remained silent; he had no ways either, with such huge waves. If there was a way, he would have gone down to save them long ago, not waited until now.
Earlier, both he and Jiang Xue had warned the crowd not to get close to the shore due to the danger, but no one listened, what else could he do?
The person in charge also fell silent, watching the still-billowing waves, watching those people being swept away by the tide and disappearing without a trace, his heart sinking with them.
This scene was captured by the station’s staff. After recording the situation on the lake, the TV crew approached Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue, asking, "Major Mu, Mrs. Mu, we heard you were swept into the lake a few days ago but narrowly escaped with your lives, could you tell us about it?"
