Chapter 209 Flying to Save People
Fu Wenyuan and Wu Jingshu stared intently at the television, muttering to themselves, "Amazing, amazing..."
Fu Wenyuan was incredibly grateful to have met Lin Xi at the bookstore that day, and shamelessly insisted on becoming her master. Who would have thought that this child would be so promising? He had picked up a god as his disciple!
Wu Jingshu patted Fu Wenyuan's hand and said with a smile, "Old man, you've really gotten a great deal. Now we'll have connections in the heavens!"
Even "gods" aren't omnipotent. Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan finally arrived at the last province, Jiangsu Province, and looked at the scene before them with furrowed brows.
Everywhere you look, there has been devastation from the flood. Where the floodwaters have receded, there is thick silt and garbage, a scene of utter chaos. The roads are riddled with potholes and littered with debris.
The trees along the street were uprooted and lay scattered on the ground, making it impossible to pass normally.
Looking at the endless devastation, Lin Dayuan said, "Xiaoxi, what should we do? We can't drive, and it's too late to walk. Sigh, I don't know how bad things will get ahead."
Before they set off, it had been raining heavily for three days, and it took them another four days to get here. It had been raining heavily here for a whole week, and the situation was far more serious than in other cities.
But there's nothing they can do; given the geographical location, they can't get here without crossing the other four cities.
Lin Xi looked at her Love Coins. Using the Flying Talisman would be too wasteful. She remembered that there was a bean in the Level 1 Shop that could make you fly after eating it.
"Xiao Yi, can you check this for me?"
"Host, it's Butterfly Feather Honey Bean, 100,000 per bean, effective for one hour."
It's alright. We can save where we should and spend where we should. Two people, two hundred thousand. We'll see where we can fly in an hour.
Two thumb-sized red beans appeared in her hand. She opened her palm and said, "Dad, come on, eat these, and let's fly over."
Lin Dayuan was so shocked he couldn't speak. He still didn't know where his daughter's limits were. It was as if she could conjure up anything, and now she could even fly.
Fortunately, I managed to win the argument with my mother; going out with my daughter is a great way to broaden my horizons.
He believed that as long as he lived long enough, his daughter would be able to help him realize all his childhood dreams.
The mouth was filled with the smooth and sweet taste of red bean paste. After swallowing one, Lin Dayuan felt as light as a swallow and unconsciously opened his arms, his body floating in the air.
He quickly grabbed his daughter beside him, lest she fly away and get lost. There are no landmarks in the sky, where would they find her?
Lin Xi clung tightly to Lin Dayuan's arm; it was her first time flying, and she was both excited and scared.
The two of them went up and down, left and right, and after a long time of getting used to it, they finally learned how to control the direction.
As we ascended, the scene below came into view: collapsed houses, broken trees, floating garbage and buildings...
The land was scarred and devastated, like a waterlogged, tattered painting.
Lin Xi felt a deep sense of powerlessness. This place was the home of countless people, and she wondered how long it would take to restore it to its original state. At this moment, how many people were weeping in pain.
However, she did not expect that this was just the tip of the iceberg. After flying over this area, she witnessed even more horrific scenes.
As the torrential rain poured down again, mud and waves rolled through the city, and floodwaters surged in from all directions like roaring beasts.
The ground-floor houses, which were already half-submerged, were completely flooded.
The rushing water, with its immense force, swept away roadside trash cans, shared bicycles, and other debris. Light vehicles were also easily pushed and collided with as if they were toys, producing ear-piercing noises.
Residents on the second floor and above were trapped in the windows. Even though they were far apart, Lin Xi could see the helplessness and fear in their eyes. Some elderly people and children hugged each other tightly, tears welling up in their eyes.
The people trapped by the flood on the streets were filled with panic, clinging tightly to anything they could hold onto. The turbid torrent surged beneath their feet, as if it could swallow them up at any moment...
Cries and shouts mingled together. Lin Xi's face, soaked by the rain, was colorless, as pale as a sheet of paper.
"Xiao Xi! Xiao Xi!" Lin Dayuan shouted in the wind and rain to bring Lin Xi back to her senses.
She quickly pulled out a talisman. "Dad, stop me!"
As the talisman burned out, the torrential rain finally stopped, and the sun slowly emerged. However, the crowd below remained in a state of panic, and the mud and water continued to churn.
Lin Xi was extremely anxious, wishing she could turn into a rocket and get directly to the dam in one step.
In the flood, a little boy clung tightly to a telephone pole in front of him, his face covered in tears. "Waaah, I'm so tired. I really can't hold on much longer. When will the People's Liberation Army come?"
Under wave after wave of impact, his hands finally lost their strength, and in that instant of exhaustion, he was swept away by the flood.
At that moment, he thought that he would never disobey his mother again and run away from home.
Lin Xi looked down at the scene below with a pained expression. If only, if only she could have been faster, earlier...
Suddenly, she frowned. "Oh no, Dad, a child has been swept away by the flood!"
Without a second thought, she controlled her body as it plummeted downwards. Lin Dayuan held her tightly with one hand and used the other to help her put on a mask.
No matter what, his daughter is the most important person in his eyes, and he will never let her take any risks.
Just as the boy was about to be submerged, Lin Xi grabbed his clothes and flew up from above the flood.
The imagined suffocating feeling didn't come. The boy opened his eyes and saw a pair of bright, star-like eyes. "You... are you an angel? Are you going to take me to heaven?"
Lin Xi didn't say anything, but placed him on the roof of the tallest building, saying, "Be a good boy and wait here for rescue."
It then quickly took off and flew away.
The little boy looked up blankly at the two black dots disappearing into the distance, then pinched his arm in disbelief. "Angels! Angels didn't take me to heaven, they came to save me!"
Even though Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan tried their best to speed up, this scene was still seen by many people. The moment the two flew up, they even thought they were about to die and were hallucinating.
Along the way, Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan saved many people. They had no choice but to help those in need. Fortunately, they were fully armed, so no matter how much the people guessed, they just couldn't find them.
A dedicated reporter held his camera high amidst the flood and captured this scene. If he hadn't died, he would have definitely reported it!
Those who were rescued wept, clasped their hands together, and gazed at the sky with overwhelming emotion. There must be a God in this world! A compassionate God came to save them!
Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan traveled back and forth in Jiangsu Province. When the time limit expired, they would eat another Butterfly Flying Honey Bean. One after another, they flew until midnight and finally reinforced all the dams and riverbeds.
The two landed on an empty rooftop, and Lin Xi couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, it feels so good to have my feet on solid ground!"
She was so sick of flying that she didn't want to fly anymore.
Lin Dayuan plopped down on the ground, then lay down, gazing at the sky. "Ah, it feels so good to stretch out my whole body!" He'd been sleeping in the car all day, his legs never even able to stretch out properly.
After venting their frustrations, the two looked at each other and laughed. Despite being tired, it was all worth it.
With the moon and stars shining brightly, the father and daughter slept on the rooftop for the night.
