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.

"Captain Lu truly is a War God, so impressive! Do you know how many victims he has saved today?"

"I remember him going back and forth at least five or six times; with ten people each time, that’s a minimum of forty or fifty."

"Exactly, and among the soldiers who went with the captain, the one who made the most trips only did two, and some haven’t even made it back on one trip."

"That’s because the captain’s Guards are highly skilled. When using lifeboats to rescue people, you not only need physical and arm strength but also a strong sense of direction. Aside from the original river here, all other areas were villages, which are now submerged due to the flood. It’s very difficult to find one’s way with just a map, and it’s easy to get lost."

"That’s why he’s called a War God!"

"I heard that Captain Lu will be transferred after this mission ends."

"What?! Where to?" The soldiers looked at the speaker in surprise.

"It’s just what I heard, I don’t know the details."

"I hope that’s not true. It’s so hard to get to be in the same Guard District as the captain, and now he might be transferred out so soon."

"If Captain Lu is really being transferred, it’s definitely for a promotion."

The sky gradually darkened, with only the sound of the river water slapping against the banks nearby.

Lu Hanmo lay on the bed with his eyes closed. His Cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Late Stage of Tribulation. Now, he just needed to handle the matters on Yuan Star and then he could Ascend with Shushu.

A slight sound of footsteps came, and Lu Hanmo smiled and opened his eyes to look at the newcomer. He had set up a Formation outside the tent, which would be triggered by anyone else except Shushu.

"Shushu!" Lu Hanmo sat up and reached out his hand towards Luo Shu.

Luo Shu smiled and put her hand into Lu Hanmo’s, sitting down beside him, "I’m not going back, I will stay by your side these next few days." She had left the Guard District with the babies soon after Hanmo. When Guard’s Wives asked her where she was going, she told them that she was going to stay at her maternal home for a few days.

In this way, she could not only play with the babies in the space but could also see Hanmo anytime, anywhere.

Lu Hanmo smiled and embraced Luo Shu, giving her a kiss on the face, "Let’s go to the space to see the babies." He had not seen the two little ones all day and missed them terribly.

"Okay!" Luo Shu replied and entered the space with Lu Hanmo.

The two babies were lying in their cribs, kicking and waving their arms excitedly upon seeing their parents enter.

Lu Hanmo stretched out his hand and brought the babies into his embrace, kissing each of them on the face, "Did you miss Daddy today?"

"Gaga!" The two babies leaned forward and each planted a kiss on Lu Hanmo’s face.

Lu Hanmo laughed joyfully, taking the babies over to a chair to sit down.

"Gaga." The little brother waved his small hands, playing with the buttons on Lu Hanmo’s clothes, his eyes serious as grapes, looking at Lu Hanmo. When the baby grows up, he also wants to be a Guard Member like daddy.

"That’s a great dream, daddy supports you," Lu Hanmo praised with a smile. If it wasn’t for the need to Ascend, he would remain a Guard Member for life.

After playing with the two babies for a while, Lu Hanmo placed them back into their cribs.

"Time to sleep, daddy will come play with you again tomorrow." Lu Hanmo tenderly rubbed the babies’ hair, bent down to kiss their foreheads, then tucked them in.

In the following days, Lu Hanmo tirelessly shuttled between the villages affected by the flood to rescue victims.

Although the flood was swift, due to timely rescue efforts, there were not many casualties.

As for the destruction of fields, houses, and property, even though the loss was severe, it was unavoidable.

Lu Hanmo stood on the lifeboat. He had just scanned the area with his Divine Sense and saw no one trapped, which allowed him to be at ease.

Luo Shu sat on the boat, holding the babies and looking at the submerged villages, feeling a faint sadness in her heart. In her previous life, such scenes were only seen on television, but in this life, she had now witnessed it twice. The last time it was a man-made calamity, and this time, it was a true natural disaster.

"There are no longer any trapped villagers." Lu Hanmo turned the lifeboat around, heading back to the rescue site.

Luo Shu withdrew her gaze, looking at Lu Hanmo, "The babies and I will go in first."

Lu Hanmo nodded, "Once I’ve arranged the follow-up work, we can return." These days in the disaster area, seeing the plight of the affected people, weighed heavily on his heart. No matter how great one’s abilities are, they cannot control natural disasters.
