255: Typhoon makes landfall

On land, when a typhoon has not yet made landfall, there is a period of calm. However, the sea is different from land; even before the typhoon arrives, strong winds already bring surging waves.

Gradually, the sea surface was no longer clear, but slowly became chaotic.

The setting sail sped along, and three hours later, lights twinkling on the distant sea could be seen intermittently.

It should be other fishing boats or fishing yachts, which also received the notice and are now moving towards the mainland.

It seems that not only the two of them were rushing back, but everyone else was as well.

Along the way, the two took turns driving the boat, resting themselves but not the vessel. Finally, after more than eight hours, they saw some lights flickering in the darkness ahead.

It looks like they are getting close to land.

"Husband, we're finally almost at Qingshan Town!"

"Yes! It's good to be here."

As soon as Yang Qi finished speaking, both of their phones rang incessantly.

They took them out and saw that they had signal again, with a pile of missed calls and messages. These were mainly from family members, as well as messages from Zhang Jun and a few other friends.

They must have received news that the typhoon was approaching and were eager to contact the two of them.

Yang Qi and Bai Xue replied to each message, thanking them for their concern and stating that they would soon be safely ashore.

Yang Qi went to the deck and saw many lights on the sea. He could already see many boats of all sizes on the water, heading towards the shore.

More than half an hour later, the setting sail docked steadily at the training center pier.

Chen Tianming, who had received a call, was already waiting there with his workers. Since it was too late, he immediately arranged for the unloading.

Yang Limin and his wife, Bai Dahai and his wife, and Zheng Tie and a few others all rushed over.

Tuna and Big Vermilion Snapper were hoisted out of the freezer. They were weighed and sent to the icehouse immediately. Next were the Wrasse, Crab, lobsters, and other items from the live fish tanks.

In short, everything except the small Groupers and ornamental fish they planned to keep, plus some attractive conch, shellfish, and starfish, was weighed and taken away by Chen Tianming.

Because it was too late, they agreed with Chen Tianming to settle the seafood payment the next day, and everyone went home with the remaining fish to rest.

Since the fish tank for the ornamental fish still needed to be custom-made, they could only have his mother take them to temporarily keep them in the fish tank at their second home.

Yang Qi and Bai Xue, on the other hand, took the small Groupers back to the sea-view villa.

The first thing they did upon returning home was to put these colorful small Groupers into the newly purchased fish tank in the yard.

Afterward, the two immediately washed up and went to bed. After all, continuous high-intensity boat driving for eight or nine hours was very tiring.

Yang Qi and Bai Xue slept until ten o'clock the next morning. After washing up, Yang Qi saw a message on his phone and said to Bai Xue:

"Xiao Xue, my mom wants us to go to her place for lunch."

"Okay, I'll be ready in a moment!"

When the two left the house, they could already clearly feel that the wind was much stronger than last night.

After lunch, Yang Qi and Yang Limin began to reinforce the trees in the two yards here.

Yang Qi drove a tricycle to buy a bundle of wood, then cut it short to stake and reinforce some trees.

By the time Yang Qi and his father had finished with all the trees in the yards of their three homes, the wind had grown stronger and stronger, mixed with raindrops pattering down.

Yang Qi, who had hurriedly dropped his father home, began to grunt and groan as he cleared the drainage outlet.

Bai Xue, meanwhile, moved some delicate and precious potted flowers from the backyard into the utility room.

"You don't need to hold an umbrella for me, go inside!"

Yang Qi stopped Bai Xue from holding an umbrella for him. He was already wet anyway, so he simply took off his shirt and handed it to Bai Xue.

As the rain grew heavier, water from the eaves and the yard flowed away through the drains.

Yang Qi, bare-chested, carried a shovel, checking if the drains were blocked. He occasionally cleared the fallen leaves carried by the water.

After taking a shower, the two entered the living room and began to organize and select the photos and videos Bai Xue had taken during her trip to the South China Sea.

After some editing, Bai Xue uploaded them in several installments to her self-media account. There were photos and videos, featuring scenery and animals. The title was "Beautiful South China Sea of Our Motherland."

The magnificent underwater scenery, the myriad forms of marine animals, and the interaction with wild dolphins.

Everywhere showcased the beauty of the ocean, with professional-grade equipment and unique shooting angles, no less impressive than a professional photographer.

Even Yang Qi and Bai Xue themselves were captivated and full of praise.

Not long after, people started liking and commenting:

"The beautiful South China Sea of our motherland is indeed stunning. I hope one day I can go and see it for myself!"

"Thanks to the blogger for letting me admire the beautiful South China Sea!"

"Are these stolen images?"

"Stolen images, you big dummy! Although this video is shot very well, if you look closely, you can clearly see that there's still some gap compared to a professional photographer."

"It's these differences that better reflect its authenticity."

After admiring for a while, the two decided to go to the The City to customize a fish tank. They planned to create a fish wall along the guest room wall to house those coral reef ornamental fish.

Taking advantage of the wind not being too strong yet, the two measured the dimensions and braved the rain to rush to the The City to customize the fish wall.

In the evening, the wind gradually intensified, accompanied by torrential rain, signifying that the typhoon was about to make landfall.

The entire night was spent amidst the howling winds and torrential rain. Yang Qi woke up in the middle of the night, intending to check the drainage outlet again.

However, standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the raging wind and rain outside, he thought about it and decided against it.

If he were to be blown away by this damn typhoon, it would be a joke.

The next day, the wind was even stronger; inside the room, one could hear the howling wind outside, and large raindrops were blown against the glass, making a loud pattering sound.

The trees inside and outside the house swayed violently in the strong winds, feeling as if they could snap at any moment.

This reminded Yang Qi of the short videos showing people and electric bikes being blown around by typhoons.

He felt that the current wind force was even greater than in those videos. If he went out now, he might even be directly blown away.

Because his location directly faced the sea.

For the next day and night, the two did not even leave the main building. After making calls and learning that both their parents were safe, they also began to feel at ease staying indoors.

Yang Qi was pulled by Bai Xue to play five-player ranked games with her roommates. Although Yang Qi didn't play often, his Lanling King made the opposing mage and marksman suffer terribly.

After Yang Qi led the four girls to five consecutive victories, he didn't want to play anymore; Diamond rank was boring.
