I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 254 Oh No, It’s a Tsunami

254 Oh No, It’s a Tsunami
As soon as he finished speaking, someone below echoed, “That’s right! It’s all thanks to you that the base is able to develop better and better! No matter what you say or do in the future, we’ll always support you!”
“Yes! We’re willing to do anything you say!”
There were only about 200 people seated in the entire venue. At this moment, everyone was responding one after another. They were all men in their prime. Their voices were deep and powerful, and they shouted with the aura of thousands of people.
Du Yue looked coldly at the crowd in front of her who was deliberately pandering to the celestial lord. She found it ridiculous. How was this any different from a cult? The celestial lord on the stage clearly enjoyed the feeling of being fawned over. He had been listening to everyone’s pledges of loyalty with a smile. “Thank you for your love, everyone. I’ll definitely lead you to happier lives in the future. We will all work together to create a beautiful home…”
The celestial lord’s voice resounded throughout the entire venue, and everyone’s eyes were focused on him. Du Yue had been listening to him attentively, but as she listened, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. It was not because of the majestic words the celestial lord had said but because she seemed to hear the faint sound of water flowing.
There was no running water on the fourth floor, so where did the sound of water come from? Du Yue turned to look at He Xing. “Why do I hear the sound of water?”
He Xing’s face was a little pale. He said slowly, “You didn’t hear it wrong. This is… the sound of waves.”
On the stage, the expression of the celestial lord, who had been speaking in high spirits, suddenly changed. He let go of Xia Zhixing’s hand and quickly walked down the stage. Xia Zhixing was suddenly thrown off, and her body swayed a few times before she managed to stand firmly. However, she did not have time to care about it at all. She only looked at the back of the celestial lord in surprise and confusion. “Celestial Lord, where are you going?”
The celestial lord did not seem to hear it and continued to walk quickly toward the window. Seeing the celestial lord’s actions, the others were also puzzled and followed him to look out the window. It was daytime now, but because of the thick fog, one could not see anything outside except the lit cloud tracks.
However, when one’s vision was obstructed, one’s hearing would be particularly sensitive. As the sound of the waves gradually approached, everyone’s face changed in an instant. “Waves! It’s the sound of waves! This is bad! There’s a tsunami! This is a tsunami!” someone suddenly shouted, and everyone instantly understood what was going on. A look of fear appeared on everyone’s face, and the originally lively venue suddenly turned chaotic.
“Hurry up! Everyone, head upstairs! This place is too dangerous!”
“Run! A tsunami is coming!”
“Let me go first! Don’t push me!”
“Don’t squeeze me…”
The people who had been listening attentively to the celestial lord’s speech now could not care about anything else and began to rush in the direction of the elevator.
There was only so much space in the elevator, and it could not hold many people. The more crowded it was, the harder it was to get in. Looking at the panicking crowd and those who were trying to escape without looking back, Du Yue’s eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. The people in the inner city were given the title of upper-class residents by the celestial lord because of their power and influence. Therefore, they naturally felt that the value of their lives was extraordinary and that they were different from the poor people in the outer city. They thought that they were living superior lives and were dressed in high-end goods. They acquiesced and agreed with this behavior of classifying people according to class and selling beautiful women as commodities as if they were the most superior group in the world.
Du Yue held He Xing’s hand. “Do you know how to swim?”
“I do. Don’t worry.”
“That’s great!” Du Yue finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they could swim, they would not drown even if the building collapsed. However, Du Yue still managed to locate the lifebuoy in her interspace. If she were to encounter any danger later, she could retrieve the lifebuoy with a single thought.
