Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 860 - 549: Evacuate!

Feng Shou had lived here for many years, but this was the first time he had seen such behavior from a flock of birds.

They weren’t mindlessly flying everywhere, but seemed to have a clear purpose, flying from one direction to another as a group.

The first thing that came to Feng Shou’s mind upon seeing this scene was: an ominous sign!

He had already seen online that other countries were experiencing unusual weather. Now, the scene before him made him very pessimistic.

Pulling out his phone, he initially wanted to see what everyone in the chat group thought about this phenomenon.

With all this commotion, he believed that the surrounding residents and his friends must have seen it too.

Upon opening the chat app, however, he saw that Feng Yi had just sent him a message.

Ignoring the rapidly increasing number of messages in the chat group, Feng Shou immediately opened Feng Yi’s conversation.

The message, brief as it was, made Feng Shou’s breath catch in his throat.

He stared at that short message, reading it over and over.

The message seemed like a joke. If it had been sent by his buddies, he would have definitely retorted with a curse.

But this was sent by Feng Yi!

Given Feng Yi’s current status and wealth, would he send an untimely joke for no reason?

Feng Shou hurriedly replied to Feng Yi’s message and then opened the chat group below to quickly scroll through it.

Everyone was indeed speculating, but there wasn’t much of practical significance.

Feng Shou put his phone back in his pocket and immediately rode his bike back home.

At their residence, neighbors were coming out of their houses, gathering together to discuss the birds in the sky, their faces tense.

Especially the older ones, the parent’s generation and the grandparents’ generation, who had lived through periods of climate anomalies, were very agitated.

Feng Shou parked his bike, spoke a few words with his grandmother to calm her down, and then went to see his next-door friend, Bei Qiao.

Bei Qiao, about the same age as Feng Shou, was currently lying in his bedroom with his headphones on, watching videos, completely oblivious to the noise outside.

When Feng Shou came over, he excitedly shared,

"Did you know that other tropical countries experienced hail today? Wow, such big hailstones! Bigger than the eggs at my house! It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to get hit by such big hailstones!"

Feng Shou slapped his hand on Bei Qiao’s head, his expression serious, "There’s going to be a typhoon here! A super typhoon!"

Bei Qiao, "...Eh?"

What???

"Are you kidding?! You can’t just think we’re going to have a typhoon because other countries did," Bei Qiao was incredulous.

Feng Shou pulled him to the window and had him look at the flock of birds in the sky.

Bei Qiao leaned out the window, stretching his neck to maintain his upward gaze at the sky, and didn’t move for a long time.

Then, their phones received several messages, one after another. They opened them to find they were all typhoon warnings!

The messages informed them of an approaching typhoon, marked out a large emergency preparedness zone, and listed the areas where evacuation was necessary.

Their location was also listed.

Bei Qiao stared dumbfounded at the new messages, in disbelief and denial, and scrolled through his phone only to find that the most recent news updates were all about the typhoon!

Not just those marketing accounts, but official media too!

Unable to keep hoping, he rushed to his room to rummage through his cupboard, came back out, ran outside, then came back in again, looking bewildered, "So... what do we do? Where do we run?"

Feng Shou took out a cold bottle of water from the fridge and tossed it to him to cool down, saying,

"Listen, don’t panic! I’ll send you a document on typhoon emergency procedures, follow it to pack your things, and also!"

Feng Shou gestured, "You must get some self-defense items; I know you can procure them!"

Bei Qiao gulped down a few sips of cold water and calmed down a bit, taking in what Feng Shou had said, and hesitantly nodded.

Feng Shou continued, "Call up Alifin and the others, we’re meeting online in ten minutes to discuss and act together. Try to leave in two hours!"

"Ah? Isn’t that too rushed? The message gave a rough timeline, the typhoon won’t come that quickly."

"It’s to prevent other contingencies!"

"...Okay."

Feng Shou went home and contacted a few more friends, they made plans and discussed when to leave together.

For the plantation workers, he also needed to arrange things. Those willing to leave with them, he would take along; those not, they would settle their wages and each would act on their own.

After making a call, he received a call from Feng Yi.

Feng Yi said, "Multiple governments are organizing the evacuation of expatriates, and our Ancestral Factory’s staff have their own helicopter for evacuation. Do you need to join us? There are still seats available on the helicopter for you and your family."

"Thanks, Brother Yi, but my friends and I have also made evacuation plans, and we have quite a few people here. We will be evacuating soon in the direction away from the typhoon," replied Feng Shou. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Feng Shou looked at his grandmother and two aunts and uncles not far away discussing something. These were people with experience from the periods of climate anomalies, who had also supported each other through it, having good relations and often even more reliable than the younger ones in some situations.

Feng Yi: "Be careful on your way! Evacuate as soon as possible!"

Feng Shou answered, "Hey, don’t worry, Brother Yi, I’m aware!"

After ending the call, Feng Shou stood at his home’s doorstep, looking towards the direction of the orchard.

The plantation contained fruit trees he had personally sought from various places and new varieties he and his friends had cultivated together.

Here were his and his partners’ plans for the future.

But now, they had no choice but to leave it behind for a while.
