Chapter 26 The Storm!
Chapter 26 The Storm!
A few hundred kilometers is indeed not far for Li Yi.
At full speed, it wouldn't even take a minute.
But for Liu Yue, an ordinary person, hundreds of kilometers is a very long distance.
Crossing hundreds of kilometers of sea in a wooden boat would be virtually impossible without ten days to half a month.
And distance is just the most insignificant part of it.
No one knows what dangers lurk beneath the seemingly calm and peaceful sea.
Liu Yue was also aware of these problems.
The excitement in my heart gradually faded.
Li Yi did not notice the change in her expression.
His gaze fell on the sky.
The sky was a clear, bright blue, with a few wisps of cloud, like feathers, floating in the far distance.
The wind was very light on the sea, and it was as calm as a sheet of silk.
The air was very humid and unusually muggy.
These are just appearances.
Li Yi saw a deeper change.
The lead-gray cloud wall was expanding wildly in all directions.
This is not a good omen.
This indicates that a storm is about to break.
Judging from its scale, this is yet another horrific disaster.
Li Yi sighed.
He discovered that he was taking action more and more frequently after transmigrating.
Before he transmigrated, he might not have needed to make a move even once every ten days or half a month.
But now... he's almost always present at work.
"Liu Yue, go and call the class monitor."
Liu Yue was still mired in an inexplicable sadness.
Hearing Li Yi's words, he suddenly came to his senses.
Seeing Li Yi's calm expression, she looked miserable.
"Li Yi, don't tell me there are sharks again?"
She remembered that Li Yi seemed to have called her that during the last shark attack.
No, it's that something bad is bound to happen as soon as Li Yi speaks up!
Liu Yue had a bad feeling.
You'll find out soon enough.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Liu Yue quickly pulled her classmate Jiang Ying over.
Upon learning that the person was looking for her, Jiang Ying blushed slightly and looked somewhat shy.
"Li Yi...is there something you want to say to me?"
Li Yi had a question mark above his head.
What happened, class monitor?
I haven't even said anything yet, and you're blushing like a teapot?
"Don't overthink it. I'm talking to you about something that's going to happen next."
Jiang Ying responded with an "oh," her pretty face blushing.
"A storm is coming soon, and if you can't weather it, you might die."
Jiang Ying: "???"
Liu Yue: "???"
Liu Yue immediately erupted in anger.
"No, what did you say? Are you going to die again?!"
Her prediction came true.
As expected, anything good ever happens when Li Yi speaks up!
Jiang Ying looked at him pitifully.
"Am I going to die too?"
Li Yi closed his eyes and mentally calculated the situation, confirming their words.
If it were before time travel, we could rely on the powerful performance of modern ships and the advance forecasting capabilities of weather equipment.
We can still manage to weather this storm.
But all they have now are wooden boats.
The wooden boat could probably hold dozens of people, and the material was probably quite good.
But the terror of a storm is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
"Li Yi, you must have a way, right?"
Liu Yue looked at Li Yi with hope in her eyes.
However, Li Yi remained silent in the face of her words.
Often, silence is not a lack of response, but rather a statement that has already provided an answer.
"How could this be... that even you can't do anything about it?"
She sat slumped helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Jiang Ying's expression changed.
She had completely forgotten her previous embarrassment.
She displayed remarkable resilience before the disaster struck.
She comforted Liu Yue beside her.
"It's alright, Yueyue, it's just a storm."
"Li Yi also said that death is only caused by not being able to endure it, which means that we still have a chance to endure it."
"There's no time to waste. We need to get moving and prepare quickly to have a chance to overcome this challenge!"
It took her a very short time to accept the arrival of this disaster.
There was no complaining or despair.
She prepared to mobilize others, as she alone was far from sufficient.
Before leaving, she looked at Li Yi.
"Li Yi, can you sense exactly how long this storm will last?"
Li Yi closed his eyes.
After a while, he gave an answer that was accurate to the second.
"15 minute and 08 second".
Fifteen minutes later, a terrible storm will arrive.
They only had fifteen minutes to prepare!
Jiang Ying pursed her lips; faced with the impending disaster, the girl could no longer suppress her feelings.
"Hey... Li Yi, if... I mean if."
"If I don't die in this storm, I'd like to ask you to sunbathe together, okay?"
She mustered her courage and looked at Li Yi with earnest eyes.
Li Yi fell silent.
Sunbathing together sounds so childish.
But it contains a young girl's most sincere and passionate feelings.
This storm meant nothing to him.
But for the girl, it was a disaster that could kill her at any moment.
Li Yi wanted to change the subject with some lighthearted words.
For example, the squad leader is like an old general on a theatrical stage, covered in flags.
But in the end, he nodded.
"OK."
Jiang Ying rushed out in a flurry of activity.
As one of only three healing abilities at Jiangda University, Jiang Ying is very popular.
She shared grilled fish with her classmates and risked her life to save people during a giant shark crisis, exhausting herself to the point of fainting.
So when she stood at the bow of the ship, many senior and junior students greeted her.
Jiang Ying didn't have time to respond.
"Everyone! Listen to me!!"
"I have a classmate who has a special ability; he can predict a storm will come in 15 minutes!"
The ship was noisy with people.
"Junior Jiang, it's a sunny day, where did this storm come from?"
"Did your classmate make a mistake?"
"The weather's so nice, I was planning to take a nap..."
The vast majority of people expressed doubt.
But Jiang Ying persisted.
"I will take responsibility for my words and actions, and I hope everyone can trust me!"
"We really don't have much time left!"
Jiang Ying's expression was serious and earnest, showing no sign of joking.
Some people on the ship also began to have doubts.
Jiang Ying's certainty suggests a storm is truly brewing.
"The storm is coming. Those who trust me, follow my instructions!"
Almost all the students in the class chose to believe.
Qin Chen shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Squad leader, we'll do whatever you say!"
Thanks to Jiang Ying's popularity, more and more people have chosen to believe her.
Jiang Ying began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.
"Qin Chen, I need to count the current number of people and see how many are still outside and haven't returned."
"Liu Yue, go and inform the student council administrators and teachers."
"To everyone else, I'd like to ask if any of you are from coastal areas and would like to learn how to deal with a storm..."
Time passed by, second by second.
An invisible sense of urgency permeated the ship.
Five minutes later, the rafts and boats that had gone out to explore returned.
All the personnel gathered on the only large ship.
Ten minutes later, based on the suggestion of a classmate from a coastal hometown, Jiang Ying directed the use of ropes to tie the planks and canvas together and attach them to the bow of the boat to serve as a "sea anchor".
Its purpose is to create resistance when dropped into the sea, thus ensuring that the bow of the ship faces the waves head-on.
Is this even useful?
Jiang Ying couldn't be sure either.
But she will seize any opportunity.
Fifteen minutes later, the sky had changed.
The strong wind arrived first, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
Immediately, darkness descended.
