The whirlwind was heading in that direction with terrifying speed, slicing through trees as thick as a man’s waist, and the whistling wind sounded like the roar of wild beasts. The rain grew heavier and more intense as if the sky had been torn open and someone was pouring water down from a basin. The whole world seemed like the end of days, utterly terrifying. Tang He ran over to the woman, "We need to go, quick." "But that girl..." The woman was already drenched, glancing towards the door of the apartment block, she had just seen the girl run back inside. Tang He couldn’t worry about that now, he pulled the woman and dragged her away. Just then, a brick fell from above, smashing into the ground leaving a crater, exactly where they had just been standing. The woman broke out in a cold sweat on her back. Tang He ushered her into the car, "Get in and take shelter for now." He wanted to charge back in to rescue the girl, but at that moment, bricks kept falling down, creating craters in the rainy ground. He cursed under his breath, his eyes catching the media still filming and the reporters doing live broadcasts in the heavy rain, he couldn’t help but yell at them, "What are you filming at a time ? If you don’t want to die, get the hell away." The sound of the wind and rain perfectly masked his voice, the reporters, risking their lives for the scoop, were doing live reports in the heavy rain in front of the camera. "Typhoon Melody has officially made landfall. As you can see behind me, the building, just as Mayor Yan predicted, substandard in quality, is beginning to collapse under the force of the typhoon. Just moments ago, the last family was persuaded to leave by the police chief, a stroke of fortune amid disaster. Let’s talk to this lucky lady." The reporter signaled her crew to direct the camera at the woman in the car, who was holding a child, soaked through, sitting there sobbing breathlessly. Who could have guessed they had just narrowly escaped death? And such images could indeed arouse public sympathy. "Please, you must save that girl, if it weren’t for her, my son and I wouldn’t be alive..." the woman cried out, her voice captured clearly by the equipment this time. The reporter’s eyes lit up, "Was it that girl who carried your child out and then turned back to run inside?" The woman nodded desperately, "Yes, that’s her, you must save her." "Why did she run back in? Does her family live there, or did she leave something valuable inside?" the reporter asked quickly. "I don’t even know her name..." A crack as large as a centipede appeared on the wall, and bricks continued to fall. It was too late to attempt a rescue. "Dear viewers, this building is about to collapse, and there’s still one person trapped inside. Let’s pray she can make it out safely..." — The source of this content ɪs noᴠelfire.net Nanmo slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his brow, "Xiao Zhang, what time is it?" The secretary entered the room, "Mayor, you’re awake. It’s already noon." "What?" Nanmo sat up abruptly, frowning, "Didn’t I tell you to wake me up at nine?" The secretary bowed his head, "Mayor, you haven’t had proper rest for days; I really didn’t have the heart to wake you. Besides, everything is going according to plan; you can rest assured, Mayor." Nanmo sighed, "Are the people out? Is everyone evacuated?" The secretary glanced at him, "They are out. The building started to collapse just a moment ago. Mayor, your foresight was spot on..." It was clear to see that once this was over, Mayor Yan would receive high praise from the public. Nanmo’s heart hitched at the word, "However, what?" The secretary said softly, "Everyone had evacuated, but a girl ran back inside. Mayor, this has nothing to do with you, you did enough; it’s the girl’s own doing." "Nonsense," scolded Nanmo with a stern glare, "What the hell is Captain Tang doing, just watching her run back in without stopping her?" "Captain Tang simply couldn’t..." the secretary quietly interjected in defense. "Call Captain Tang, get that person out with the least damage possible, no casualties allowed," commanded Nanmo with an icy tone. The secretary went to the computer on the desk, accessed the live streaming site, and clicked on it: "This is a live broadcast by a reporter from Jiangzhou Television Station. You can see the situation for yourself, Mayor. It’s not that Captain Tang is unwilling to save her, but the situation on site is simply too perilous."
