But we only walked a short distance in the direction of the boat.

  That thing happened at this time.

  ——

  I have never personally experienced a natural disaster, but I've seen earthquakes, tsunamis, floods... in the news, and they're often exaggerated in movies and TV shows. However, everything that happened on this day was even more bizarre, rapid, and terrifying than any disaster I'd ever heard of.

  The sky suddenly darkened in just a minute or two. The sun hid behind the clouds, and the dark clouds that had been accumulating on the horizon for several days seemed to gather at this moment. A strong wind rose, and the sky was so dark that it seemed like night had fallen instantly.

  Everyone sensed the sudden change in weather, and the tour guide shouted from the bow of the boat: "Hey, you few, hurry back to the boat!"

  I pulled Tang Jiao's hand and started running. There were six or seven people around us. Yan Yuanfu couple was there, Chen Ruying and Feng Yan were also there, as well as two strange men and a young woman.

  I and Tan Jiao are running in the front. However, a heavy rain has already come down.

  The thunder rumbled, and the lightning split the sky. Tan Jiao was so frightened that she shuddered all over, saying: "Wu Yu, we won't be struck by lightning and start traveling through time in chaos, will we? Oh my god!" At this moment, she could still make me laugh.

  "I said, 'In this kind of thunderstorm, we'd be dead already. Where's the life to toss around like this?' I pulled her into my arms, in such weather, it was indeed not safe to take risks and run around in open spaces again, what if we really got struck by lightning like she said? I looked around in the heavy rain to see if I could find a place to hide."

  Several people behind me probably had the same idea as me and stopped in their tracks. Yan Yuan hugged Zhu Jihui, Chen Ruying and her mother came together, ran to my back and said: "A Yu, what to do... I'm so scared..."

  Just then, I suddenly noticed that the Dianbei No. 1 in the lake was slowly rotating in one direction.

  Why is it spinning? The heavy hull of the ship, even with strong winds and rain now, the waves in the lake shouldn't make it spin out of control. Is there a problem with the steering of the boat?

  No, it's not.

  It's not those reasons.

  The sound of rain, the voices of people behind me, I didn't hear any of them. Because I saw clearly with my eyes, the boat hundreds of meters away was obviously speeding up its rotation.

  The people on the boat also felt it. They started shouting and running. I also saw Wu Miao, she was standing at the railing, staring at us with both hands tightly grasping the railing, looking extremely frightened.

  "What's going on? What happened to the boat?" The people behind me also noticed.

  "Look out! Over there!" Tan Jiao shouted.

  "There's a whirlpool in the lake!" Yuen suddenly shouted. He was also an alert person.

  My heart skipped a beat, and I looked in the direction of the sound. Indeed, on the vast lake surface, a huge whirlpool about two football fields in size had formed, gradually deepening in concentric circles.

  An earthquake? Or something else?

  Something in my heart collapsed with a loud crash.

  "Wu Miao——" I shouted, turning my head to Tan Jiao and saying, "Stay here, wait for me!" In the blurry heavy rain, I saw her eyes widening in an instant, and something was collapsing in those eyes. "No! Wu Yu——you can't go over——" She tried to grab my hand.

  I ran into the heavy rain.

  There were footsteps behind her, and she thought foolishly of catching up.

  But I couldn't stop. I couldn't care less about my own life. I knew how scared Wu Miao was at this moment, and she was on a shaking boat that was about to capsize with no one to help her, while I wasn't by her side.

  I know how terrified she was when she was dragged away by that man in the dark alley. How much she wished her brother had agreed to accompany her shopping that day. I know how scared she was when she was locked up in some dark place, watching that man approach her with a knife. I know how scared she was as she slowly lost consciousness and life under the intense torture and pain that no human could bear.

  At this time, she needs her brother, needs her brother to cut through all the waves and overcome all obstacles. Even if he can't hold her hand for a while, he must let her see, let her know that there is still hope.
