Heading to Xiamen Island
Tang Miao and Xu Zhaoting looked over and saw Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan.
After Zhang Xiaohou arrived, Mo Fan told Tang Miao about his stay due to the heavy rain and his plans to go provide assistance. Of course, the main reason he came to tell Tang Miao was that he wanted to go and help together.
After all, he was his younger brother, and Mo Fan wasn't comfortable letting him go alone...
Tang Miao was naturally planning to go as well, after all, there was a cheat device there that could allow the Shadow Element to transcend to a higher level.
Although he intended to make Mo Fan stronger, the premise was that it wouldn't be of much use to him.
"Perfect timing, Xu Zhaoting also received the message to go to the rescue, I'll go with you," Tang Miao said.
"That's great..." Zhang Xiaohou acknowledged Tang Miao's explosive abilities. Having him along was definitely a good thing...
The rain showed no signs of abating, but the Qinling military aircraft had no choice but to brave the raging winds and relentless downpour to fly to Xiamen. During takeoff, the aircraft was nearly flipped over by the wind, but it barely managed to take off and reach the stratosphere.
In higher airspace, military aircraft can fly very high, reaching about 15,000 meters. However, what makes this tropical storm so terrifying is that it dominates a vertical altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, which is quite rare.
At that moment, the giant black cloud formed by the tropical storm was about three thousand meters below the plane. Looking down from the military aircraft, an incredibly terrifying scene suddenly came into view, and the feeling of fear immediately penetrated to the deepest part of the heart, followed by a chill that spread throughout the whole body!
The clouds below looked more like a deep, bottomless black ocean, an endless black cloud cave, slowly, very slowly churning. Even though it was a full five thousand meters above, it still felt as if this tiny, dust-like military aircraft would be swallowed up. The scythe-like winds, howling thunder, and torrential rain hidden below formed the darkest, most terrifying abyss... And this very thing was currently looming over a coastal city!
Upon arriving at the location, Zhang Xiaohou walked over with a very serious expression. "The plane can't land, we have to jump!"
"That's over 15,000 meters, don't joke like that..." Mo Fan nodded repeatedly.
"Then let's jump," Tang Miao replied.
"Boss Tang, no way! You, Monkey, and Xu Zhaoting all have Wind Element, but I can't fly!" Mo Fan was even more exasperated upon hearing this.
Military aircraft cannot descend into that black storm cloud; they would crash without a chance. They can only fly over Xiamen from its highest altitude and then land in a place where there is no such raging storm. Everyone on board is a combatant; they have no other choice.
Tang Miao completely ignored Mo Fan, and neither did Zhang Xiaohou.
He looked at the elites he had brought and said solemnly, "The orders have come from above. I'll jump first, the rest of you follow me!"
"Yes!"
"..."
After giving the order, Zhang Xiaohou arrived at the hatch, put on his goggles, and plunged directly into the black sea of clouds.
The hundred elite mages from the Qinling Military Region jumped out without hesitation.
Tang Miao, Xu Zhaoting, and Mo Fan also jumped down with them.
The rain was heavy, and Tang Miao and the others fell along with the marble-like raindrops. The surroundings were shrouded in darkness, and visibility was extremely low. However, since he possessed Wind Element and Space Element, even at an altitude of ten thousand meters, it didn't really have much of an impact.
Moreover, when we descended to about a thousand meters above the ground, we saw a city with towering buildings submerged in water. From this height, you had to look very carefully to barely make out the hazy underwater ground!
After landing safely, Tang Miao headed towards Jiangtou Park, where they had agreed to meet...
Almost instantly, Tang Miao arrived.
Upon entering the grand bronze and gold hotel, Tang Miao found that almost every floor was packed with people. It was clear that the organizers of this neighborhood had gathered people here for easier management.
That makes sense. Although there are many high-rise buildings in this area, the more dispersed the people are, the more difficult it is to count them. Too many extra people would be needed to relocate those people from different buildings. The problem is that there are hundreds of buildings in a block, with so many floors and so many units. How can we possibly take care of them all?
After Tang Miao arrived at the high-rise, he saw that the people from the Hongling Military Region, Qinling Military Region, and the Southern Wing Mage Corps were standing on a semi-open-air high terrace. A few meters away, the wind and rain were raging, and the cold fog could reach them.
Clearly, they landed closer to us than we did.
Of course, not everyone came here. For example, that silly dog Mo Fan has disappeared somewhere.
He's even more unreliable than I am...
"The Ocean Alliance predicts that in eight hours, the sea level will rise to a critical height of 15 meters above the ground. This critical height will allow a type of Sea Monster called the Armor Tentacle Demon to land on the island. This monster is quite different from other sea Sea Monster; they have a severe carnivorous appetite and can sense a person's heartbeat through a cluster of tentacles on their heads. Therefore, if we don't evacuate the people of this city to land in time, this place will turn blood red in eight hours," Elder Zhuang Hong of the Donghai Magic Association solemnly told the rescue team.
Of course, he wasn't one of those who went to help Su Lu that day. Obviously, not everyone in the Donghai Magic Association was Su Lu's henchman.
After he finished speaking, everyone began to ponder... This place is now a refuge, accommodating ten to twenty thousand people. Management is unified, but ten to twenty thousand people need food and water, which is an enormous drain. Moreover, the seawater will only truly block all roads for about a day. Many people can go hungry for a day, but it is absolutely impossible for them to last two days.
To the Armor Tentacle Demon, people hiding in those buildings are meaningless. Even without destroying the buildings, they can accurately locate people hiding in the shelters. Once the Armor Tentacle Demon, who are inherently ferocious and bloodthirsty, enter the island, one can imagine that horrific scenes will continue to occur.
"We only have eight hours, and in those eight hours, the other Sea Monster vanguards will also arrive one after another. Before that, we must cover their transfer..." Elder Zhuang Hong continued.
