Chapter 916 - 914, Natural Disaster
Watching the giant wave draw ever closer, everyone closed their eyes in despair.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... They did not know how many seconds had passed, yet the anticipated disaster never occurred, and it had also grown quiet around them.
Upon opening their eyes and looking around, they saw not a trace of the huge wave anymore; the river surface was calm, as if what they had just witnessed was nothing but an illusion.
"Are we... not going to die?"
"Thank you, Guanyin Bodhisattva! Thank you, Buddha Tathagata! Thank you to all the gods for your protection!"
"It was just a false alarm, fortunately. If that big a wave had hit us, we certainly wouldn’t have survived," said the crowd excitedly, their faces beaming with the joy of a narrow escape from death.
Lu Hanmo saw that everyone in his Divine Sense was unharmed, and his lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile. When the tsunami struck, not only had he withstood the power of the flood, but he had also used his Divine Sense to protect the safety of the crowd. Otherwise, not only would the people on this lifeboat have been unable to escape unharmed, but the soldiers who had joined him in the rescue operation would have been swallowed by the flood as well.
After several more trips back and forth, the victims within the range of Lu Hanmo were almost entirely rescued, with the remaining few in other soldiers’ rescue areas. He just needed to use his Divine Sense to ensure everyone’s safety.
"Captain Lu! Your tent is the second one on the right," said a young Guard Member as he saw Lu Hanmo return, his eyes filled with admiration and reverence. It was truly an honor for him to carry out a mission alongside Captain Lu.
"Mhm!" Lu Hanmo gave a slight nod and walked towards his own Guard tent.
