“Chen, don’t you feel like this is really heartwarming?” Chen Zhao couldn’t understand Fali’s mind.
But when a woman thought something was romantic, a man couldn’t ruin the mood.
“Yes, heartwarming.”
Unfortunately, there was also a little girl in their room.
He’d wanted to keep Alyss outside with Princess and the others.
Unfortunately, Alyss was too scared. Princess’s sneeze could make her scream.
As for Obitos, he had a face that just screamed: “I’m not nice.”
Perhaps this kind of happiness was out of comparison. The TV showed how people were going through the catastrophe, while they were in peace.
“Chen, do you hear that?”
“Yeah, someone’s screaming for help.”
Not only did Chen Zhao hear it, but he also saw that someone was swept into the sea.
“That’s Haus.” Fali looked at him. “What should we do?”
Haus was currently hugging a sofa, but the waves kept crashing on him.
What could Chen Zhao do? He couldn’t just watch someone die, right?
“I’ll be back.”
“Be careful.”
“Don’t worry,” Chen Zhao said. “Amon is nearby.”
Hearing that, Fali was reassured.
Chen Zhao jumped down from the balcony. The sea was right under him, anyway. He wouldn’t hurt himself from a fall.
He swam toward Haus. When Haus saw Chen Zhao coming, he started screaming even more loudly.
“Shut up. If you keep screaming, I’ll leave.”
Haus stopped screaming. Chen Zhao went to him and said, “Grab my shoulder.”
“Mr. Chen, thank you.”
“Save your breath.”
Haus destroyed the great atmosphere and Chen Zhao was pissed.
When he brought Haus to land, Chen Zhao’s living room was already knee-deep in water.
“Don’t touch the sockets. You might get shocked.”
“It’s okay,” Haus explained. “The sockets in the community are separate. It short-circuits automatically.”
No wonder there was still electricity. They weren’t afraid of leakages.
Chen Zhao didn’t understand what “separate” meant here, but it must be pretty fancy.
Just then, Chen Zhao and Haus heard a scream.
It wasn’t an adult’s scream. It was a child’s—many, many children.
“F*ck!” Chen Zhao saw a school bus get washed away in the distance.
This was the beach, so the water in the city all flowed toward the sea. The current was extremely fast too.
The school bus was stuck at the edge and was about to tip into the sea.
There were many children on the bus. Right then, another wave came crashing onto the bus. It immediately toppled into what had been the beach.
It used to be the beach, but due to the geography, the seawater was already above the dam. The water now was at least three to four meters deep.
“All of you, go save them!” Chen Zhao yelled. “You stay out of it.”
Princess, Black-Ma, White-Ma, Walter, Snow White, and even Obitos jumped into the water.
Chen Zhao dove into the water and pried open the protective barrier on the window.
There was one adult and many kids inside the bus.
The adult must be the teacher, but she could barely help herself right now.
When Chen Zhao was in the water, he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned to see Fali.
He forgot that Fali was a member of the Coastal Rescue Team. She would never be able to just watch a situation like this.
Chen Zhao gestured at her. I’ll go in. You help outside.
Fali understood. They’d never communicated with hand gestures before, but they had great chemistry in times like this.
Chen Zhao dove into the car and pulled out two kids. Fali took them immediately, placing them in the shallow water.
Obitos and Princess immediately dragged them into the second floor.
They weren’t good swimmers, so they couldn’t really help down there.
They were far from as experienced as Black-Ma, White-Ma, and Walter, or even Snow White.
Soon, the four appeared out of the water, each with a kid in their mouths.
Chen Zhao brought two more kids onto land. Haus was on the receiving side too.
The dozen kids and the adult were all rescued.
Cough, cough—
The teacher sat on the floor and kept coughing.
Just then, she’d thought that she was dead meat.
Who would’ve known that just as her soul was going to heaven, such a strange rescue team appeared?
Chen Zhao and Fali were giving CPR to the kids who’d swallowed water.
Both of them were quite experienced in this.
“Chen, look at this girl. She’s not waking up.”
He immediately went over to check. He applied a bit of force on the girl’s chest and pushed her down.
She spat out water with a whoosh and woke up.
Fali looked at Chen Zhao’s figure. Right now, she felt that it was so great to have Chen Zhao by her side.
“Sir, thank you for saving us. Is there anything I can help you with?”
“No, you can’t help. Go take care of the kids that have woken up.” Fali stopped her.
The teacher was beautiful and completely drenched. She looked extremely mesmerizing.
As soon as she’d gotten out of the water, her eyes had been trained on Chen Zhao.
This made Fali put her guard up, so she had to guard her property.
The teacher went to another room. There, she saw that the kids who’d been threatened with death had now all recovered. They jumped around the huge beasts next to them.
These beasts usually gave off a dangerous aura even in the zoo.
But right now, the kids were all around the animals and even climbing onto them.
The most terrifying one to the teacher was that incredibly huge bear.
This bear was probably heavier than all the kids put together. It looked like a sprawling hill.
There was also a red lizard that was also impossibly huge.
However, she knew that these beasts had helped with the rescue and had done well too.
At least, they’d done better than her.
She leaned against the doorframe and looked at the man saving people in the other room.
The teacher vaguely remembered the strong and broad chest in the water and the muscular arms hugging her tightly as he swam through the water with one arm.
Because the rescue had been timely and lasted less than five minutes, the kids weren’t in much danger.
They only had to force out the water and check if there were accumulated water in their lungs.
If water was accumulated in their lungs, it would be more annoying. For others, like choking or occlusive suffocation, Fali could take care of it by themselves.
It was Chen Zhao and Fali’s first time working together to save people. When all the kids were safe, they hugged each other.
The feeling of accomplishment was a strange thing.
Even making ten million dollars wouldn’t make him feel as accomplished as saving all these kids.
But maybe 100 million dollars…
