You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Chapter 173: Getting Closer (1)

Phuket town.

Zhao Jingchen brought more than a thousand of his men, led by soldiers familiar with the terrain, and rushed to a small town called Buji, backed by the mountains.

The mountain was crowded with people who had evacuated there to escape the flood.

Seeing someone coming to rescue them, some people couldn't help crying, crying about their homes being destroyed, their livelihoods being lost, and their hunger but having no food to fill their stomachs.

"What should we do? Our homes are flooded. God won't leave us any chance to survive!"

"Wow... Dad and Mom, I'm so hungry!"

At this time, the rushing river water flowed back into the town, and the rain water from the mountain gathered into a river. The two torrents attacked the town like an overwhelming force.

The flood waters in the higher parts of the town have reached the shoulders, and the houses in the low-lying areas have been flooded to the point that only the roofs are left.

The once bustling streets, alleys and courtyards of all sizes were washed away by the flood carrying floating debris and no trace of them can be seen anymore.

Looking from the mountain, the whole town was submerged in a muddy and yellow flood. The scene was shocking.

There were many people standing on the roofs of houses, who had no time to retreat and were forced to hide on the roofs due to the flood. They kept shouting "Help".

The flood continued to rise and washed away the houses, which could collapse at any time. The people living above were in a very critical situation.

Zhao Jingchen didn't care about anything else: "Dragon Guards, those who are good at Qinggong will follow me to rescue people, and the others will find a way to provide support."

Mu Yunge also ordered: "Black armor guards, those who are good at Qinggong will follow the emperor to rescue people, and the rest will follow us."

Suddenly, figures flew up from the mountain to the town. They walked in the air, occasionally stepping on the treetops or floating objects above the water to gain leverage, and then they all flew towards the town.

Mu Yunge brought his men to the water's edge and selected some dragon guards and black armor guards who were good at swimming.

"Quickly tie the ropes around your bodies and form a string. Once you're done, try to move towards the town so you can meet them. Everyone else will be responsible for pulling the ropes."

The brothers who tied the rope went into the water and groped forward, but the other end of the rope could not be found to hold on, so the rest of the people could only pull it with all their might.

The water had already reached the shoulders of the brothers who had gone into the water. The underwater situation was unclear and walking was very difficult. From time to time, someone fell, dragging the brothers in front and behind them and causing them to lose their balance and fall down in a row.

"Be careful, hold on to the rope and stand up, don't let go!" Mu Yunge used his internal strength to shout commands.

After all, they were Dragon Guards and Black Armor Guards. The person who fell relied on his own strong ability and stood up with the help of the tension of the rope.

"Good job, move forward a little more!"

Everyone moved forward about ten feet, and saw that the rope was not long enough. If they connected it again, they were afraid that the rope would not be able to bear the weight and break, and the brothers would be in danger.

Mu Yunge estimated the distance and called a halt. "Alright, we're almost there. Hold on tight. Bear with them for a bit and let them step on your heads or hands for leverage."

Just as we were getting ready, the people who went to rescue people had already returned.

Because he was carrying people with him, although he had good lightness skills, he could not fly far. When he saw the people waiting for him in the water, he stepped on them and, with their support, flew back to the shore safely.

With the experience of the first one, everyone cooperated more and more tacitly.

"Okay! Okay..."

“They are so awesome!”

"Look, there are quite a few young girls pulling the ropes. That requires a lot of strength. Come on, let's go and lend a hand!"

The people on the mountain applauded their actions loudly, and many young and middle-aged people voluntarily joined the ranks of pulling the rope.

So, the number of ropes was increased from one to three, which greatly increased the speed of rescue and rescued more and more people.

But as time went on, everyone's physical strength was severely exhausted, but dozens of people were still standing on the roof waiting for rescue.

The rain was still falling and the water level was rising. Some houses that were still visible were completely submerged.

Zhao Jingchen looked at everyone, then looked at the people on the rooftops who were eagerly waiting to be rescued.

"Everyone, just hold on a little longer. We can rescue them all in one more trip."

After saying that, he gritted his teeth, called dozens of people with the best light skills, and prepared to go again.

Mu Yunge pulled his sleeve worriedly: "Zixuan, you have been back and forth more than ten times. Let them go. Don't forget that you are the king of a country, and the responsibility of Da Yan is on your shoulders."

My Ge'er is worried about me, she cares about me!

Zhao Jingchen felt a warm feeling in his heart, as if all his strength had returned.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in a minute. Besides, my kung fu is better than theirs."

Li Mingzhao, who was sitting on the ground to rest, saw his master flying out again, and quickly got up and followed.

Mu Yunge hurriedly shouted, "Guard Li, the emperor didn't order you!"

Li Mingzhao turned around and smiled: "It's okay, my kung fu is not that good, but my Qinggong is okay. The master has gone, so I must follow."

As he said this, he glanced at Annan who was pulling the rope desperately. He saw worry in her eyes. He nodded slightly and flew out resolutely.

Annan stared at his back as he flew further and further away, pursing his lips.

On several rooftops in the town, Zhao Jingchen ordered his men to take the remaining people away one by one.

In the end, only Ling Feng, Ling Zhi, Ling Xiao and Li Mingzhao were left.

He looked around. "These houses won't hold out much longer. Come on, let's split up and look around to see if anyone else has been left behind."

After saying that, he flew to other rooftops first.

Ling Feng followed, and the others each went in a different direction. They searched and called out, "Is there anyone else?"

After searching around and finding nothing, they were about to retreat.

sudden.

A touch of red on a roof farther away caught Li Mingzhao's attention.

"Wait a minute, there seems to be something there, let me go take a look."

At this time, another house nearby collapsed into the water and disappeared on the surface.

The situation was critical, and he didn't have time to think before he rushed over.

As soon as I rushed over, I found an old woman fainted behind the chimney on the roof, with only a corner of her red clothes showing.

He tried to lift her up and carry her on his back, but failed after several attempts.

"Come quickly, there are people here, I can't carry it alone."

Zhao Jingchen and Ling Feng rushed over. Ling Feng squatted down and said, "I'll do it. Help him onto my back quickly. It will be too late if you delay any longer."

Several people worked together to help the man onto Ling Feng's back, and Ling Feng flew towards the mountain.

"Master, let's go..."

Before Ling Yun could finish his words, the house under his feet suddenly collapsed, and several people lost their support.

Zhao Jingchen, Ling Yun and Ling Xiao instinctively raised their arms and jumped up.

Li Mingzhao was a beat slow to react and fell into the water, being swept away by the current. He struggled hard to save himself, but was unsuccessful due to the strong impact of the current.

"Ah Zhao!"

Zhao Jingchen didn't have time to think, and instinctively let his body sink, chasing after him and trying to pull him out, but because he had no foothold, a wave hit him, and not only did he fail to pull the man out, he also fell into the water.

Seeing this, Ling Yun and Ling Xiao quickly flew forward to rescue people.

Mu Yunge and the Dragon Guards standing on the mountain also saw this situation.

"Master!" The dragon guards flew and rushed towards the town.

"Stop!" A stern shout stopped them.

Mu Yunge softened his tone only after seeing everyone stop.

"You've already been running back and forth more than a dozen times, and your strength is already exhausted. If you go, not only will you be unable to save anyone, but you might even need others to rescue you.

Everyone, please don't make things worse, just wait patiently, and trust Ling Yun and Ling Xiao."

At this moment, Ling Yun and Ling Xiao both used their Qing Gong to pounce...
