All kinds of omens were hinting at the arrival of the tsunami, and at the moment when the tide receded, the alarm bell sounded in White Pillow's heart.
The vicinity of Niels is indeed an area with frequent crustal activities, and small earthquakes occur almost every month. However, these earthquakes are not high in intensity and are far from the mainland, and the damage is not even as great as that of tropical storms, so they are often ignored by people.
But this time was different, White Pillow had a premonition of the horror of this disaster just by looking at the speed of the ebb. There must have been a large earthquake somewhere on the seabed, causing the seafloor to collapse and the seawater to flood back.
"White, white pillow, what's wrong?"
Hua Mu hurriedly asked after being put down by the white pillow, ignoring her physical discomfort.
"Miss, it's a tsunami. It may come in an hour at most, or at least ten minutes. Please listen to my arrangements now. I'm sorry."
Tsunami!
Even if Hua Mu has not experienced it, he has learned a lot from the news and videos. The impact of this natural disaster is almost devastating.
"Then, then, what about that? Do we have time to escape?"
Although the island is not small, it is located in the ocean, and the two have nowhere to escape.
White Pillow quickly threw the important items on the canvas for making the bed, and said, "Let's go to the mountain, I will protect you, please only bring important things."
Only bring important things
Hua Mu, who was immersed in the harvest a moment ago, is now in a dilemma. I have just harvested so much food, can I just give up all of it now? And the base they have worked so hard to build, will they survive the tsunami
Everything here is important to her.
"Miss?"
The sentry moved quickly, and it only took a few minutes to sort out all the important supplies that the two brought to the island, wrap them in canvas, and threw them into the bamboo basket. As for food, she only took a jar of honey, a jar of dried bread and some bacon and kippers, and she probably only had enough food for two days.
Hua Mu sat for a while without moving, until the white pillow called her to wake up suddenly, and hurriedly put a few jars of sauce that she was saving in the bamboo basket.
"Miss, that's all, let's go."
The food that the white pillow took was not prepared for herself. As long as there was a place to hide, she was confident that she could survive it. In the current situation, the two have no time to carry too much supplies, which is already the limit.
"Wait, I-I'll get some more!"
If possible, Hua Mu also doesn't want to give up, but she also knows that the current situation does not allow it. The sense of crisis even made it too late for her to be sentimental, and she quickly selected four jars containing herbs, seasonings, tuna and squid.
Things filled the bamboo basket at once, White Pillow didn't say much, and quickly picked up the bamboo basket and picked up Hua Mu.
There was something in Hua Mu's heart that didn't feel right, and she didn't reject it. In the face of life-threatening danger, her instinct was enough to make her put down her self-esteem and surrender.
The sentinel's body was fully functioning, traversing the jungle at a speed that Hua Mu had never felt before. She obviously felt that Hati was already leaning on the white pillow, and suddenly remembered the role of her spiritual body, and immediately summoned Luna.
The black unicorn is over two meters tall, and it flutters above the jungle, overlooking the entire island with an elegant attitude.
Hua Mu couldn't rely on Luna for too long, but she still found something through the unicorn's perspective.
"White pillow, many animals are running! They are running up the mountain!"
Animals have always been considered to be more aware of natural disasters than ordinary humans. The animals in the jungle were actually rioting before this, but the two of them didn't pay attention.
"Miss, please hold me tight."
The action behind the basket called White Pillow was hindered a bit. More than ten minutes had passed, but the two had not yet reached the foot of the mountain.
The two of them have never explored this mountain on the island, originally to avoid danger, but now they have become the shackles of the two who are struggling.
Hua Mu hugged the neck of the white pillow tightly, feeling extremely uneasy.
What if, if the two of them can't escape this time
White Pillow chose the road leading to the bread tree. The cliffs on the west coast were originally part of the mountain. This road can be regarded as a shortcut to quickly increase the altitude. When the two finally reached the high slope where the bread tree was, the first wave finally reached the desert island.
Most of the tropical plants are tall, and the average coconut palm tree is less than ten meters tall. However, the water wall formed by the huge waves far exceeded this height, and rushed towards the island with an unstoppable momentum.
An island of more than 100 square kilometers is not too small, but in the face of such monstrous waves, it seems that the entire island will be swallowed up.
"White pillow!"
Hua Mu saw this devastating scene through Luna, and she couldn't help but feel a little despair in her heart.
Even if he didn't look at the situation behind him, White Pillow knew what was going on. But she didn't stop at all, and ran across the bread tree towards the higher ridge.
The area behind the bread tree is rarely explored by the two of them, so there is no road at all. The rainy jungle is muddy everywhere, and lichens, moss and fungi make the ground that was hard to walk on even more slippery. The damage caused by Mu - compared to life, these are really nothing.
The tall and dense jungle is a natural barrier, and the two of them are five or six kilometers away from the coastline, so they are not lifeless. The peaks on the island are more than 100 meters, and as long as they climb to a high enough altitude, the tsunami will not be a threat to the two of them.
She hasn't given up yet.
"Miss, I will protect you."
The white pillow didn't say a word, just repeated the oath that never changed.
Hua Mu hugged her tightly, and suddenly she didn't feel so scared anymore.
"Um… "
The roaring waves almost fell from the sky, quickly covering a large area of the rainforest, and smashing those towering trees.
Tropical trees may grow tall, but their roots are not particularly deep, and the ring of jungle closest to the shoreline falls almost without resistance.
The sea quickly poured into the hinterland of the island, turning the foot of the mountain into an ocean.
Fortunately, the natural barrier still played a big role, and the water potential has slowed down at the foot of the mountain.
Hua Mu looked at the sea water that was almost chasing behind the two of them, so nervous that she could barely breathe. But she didn't close her eyes. Instead, she tried to use her eyes and Luna to continuously confirm the situation behind her, and told White Pillow the latest situation.
The heights of the two of them continued to climb, but the second wave of waves came right after, giving them no chance to breathe at all. One wave has not settled, another wave has risen, and the white pillow finally has no way to go - the two encountered a steep mountain wall.
The mountain walls are covered with parasites and vines, and it is not difficult to climb if they are placed in normal times. But now the situation is urgent, Bai Zhen is holding Hua Mu, and there is no way to quickly climb up.
"Miss, let Luna come down, you can sit on it!"
White pillow immediately put down Hua Mu and summoned the ice wolf.
"how about you?"
Only the host can really "physically" contact the spiritual body, and all contact with others is not real. The white wolf can carry the white pillow, but it cannot carry Huamu, and the same goes for Luna and Huamu.
This is known as an "inviolable treaty" or "non-interference treaty" between individuals.
"I'll climb up by myself, don't worry."
The white wolf does not have the ability to fly. Although it has a strong jumping ability, it can only do nothing in the face of such a high cliff.
"No, I don't want to go by myself, I'm with you!"
Hua Mu grabbed Bai Zhen's arm and shook her head violently, but Bai Zhen didn't argue with her. While taking off the basket from her back, she said to Hua Mu, "Miss, please wait for me upstairs."
The white wolf howled at the sky, and Luna, who had been flying in the air, swooped down quickly.
Originally, only the host could command the spiritual body, but Luna and Hati had been together for a long time and regarded it as her mentor, and had become accustomed to obeying its instructions. And because of the dangerous situation Hua Mu is in now, it quickly understood its mission.
"I don't want I don't want..."
In this case, separated from the white pillow, Hua Mu had no idea what would happen. If White Pillow didn't have time to climb up, he might not even be able to find the body.
Might as well die together!
"I'm sorry." The current situation had to race against time, and there was no time for arguments and explanations. White Pillow picked up Hua Mu a little rudely and put her on the unicorn's back.
"White pillow, let me go! You bastard! I don't want to go, I don't want to go alone!!!"
Hua Mu struggled to get off the unicorn's back, but the white pillow hung the basket on her back, pressing her body and making her crawl onto Luna's back.
"White pillow!"
Hua Mu couldn't resist the force of the sentinel, so she could only shake her head while crying.
"Miss, I'll be fine, please wait for me upstairs."
"You lied! You lied to me!" Hua Mu, the sentinel's former criminal, didn't believe her at all.
I don't believe she can escape but want to stay with her. What kind of mentality does the eldest lady hold
Looking at Hua Mu's crying face, Bai Zhen's heart moved, and he suddenly leaned over and kissed her tear-stained lips.
The kiss was fleeting and fleeting, but Hua Mu was completely stunned.
"Please be obedient." The white pillow quickly stroked her cheek and whispered, "I have never deceived you, please wait for me."
After she finished speaking, she took advantage of Hua Mu's daze, and patted Luna's butt to make it take off.
"White pillow!" After Hua Mu regained his senses, it was difficult to ride Luna, so he could only scream loudly while hugging the unicorn's neck tightly.
White pillow kissed her! Domineering and Su! She would be very happy if it was placed in normal times, but why is it in such a situation
She is afraid of heights!
And just as Luna took off and the giant wolf turned into a green light and leaned on the white pillow again, the second wave finally brought the sea water to the place where the two were just now.
The figure of the white pillow quickly disappeared into the waves.
The author has something to say: Hua Mu: What the hell are you listening to? Why is it so gentle and soooo when speaking domineering in honorifics? No, I don't want to be a widow!
The eldest finally admitted that she was afraid of heights, after all, she used to take the elevator...
