Chapter 309: Raft Escape: The Ultimate Flight Begins!

All of them had watched Wang Yun’s live broadcasts, especially the video where Wang Yun caught drug dealers. Each of them admired him greatly. What Wang Yun said now carried more weight than their own leaders.

Even if the meteorological station hadn’t issued a warning, as long as Brother Wang Yun spoke, they would definitely trust him.

The director’s communication was even smoother than with the program inspectors.

Many of the program inspectors’ Captains didn’t believe Wang Yun, but the police and the meteorological station did. It took just over ten minutes for them to respond to the director and begin evacuating the public with full force.

At this time, the tourists on Yun City Island started to panic.

They were having a good time but were suddenly forced off the island and told that an earthquake was coming.

Although everyone’s mood was affected, they all heard that it was predicted by Wang Yun. Some fans calmed down their anger.

Wang Yun stood in front of the program inspectors, looking at them grimly, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand.

These inspectors stared at him intently, eyes filled with fear. They didn’t dare to move. They feared that if he was displeased, he might take them out directly. It wasn’t until Wang Yun saw the helicopter overhead turn around and leave, and heard the evacuation orders over the walkie-talkie, that he finally relaxed.

“Here you go. Hurry up and leave.”

Wang Yun tossed the walkie-talkie back to them. The leading program inspector caught it.

With a face full of panic, he also heard what was said over the walkie-talkie, and at this time, their expressions were a bit conflicted.

“What about you?” the program inspector asked weakly.

Wang Yun turned around and paused, waving his hand.

“I’m Wang Yun, I’ll figure it out myself.”

Saying this, Wang Yun strode off into the distance.

The program inspectors watched Wang Yun’s departing back, suddenly filled with admiration. If what he said was true, then he truly was a man of flesh and blood.

Wang Yun found Xiao Gang and Brother Hu in about ten minutes. The two were still carrying the large raft, huffing and puffing as they walked. Their steps were unsteady, and it was very difficult.

“Brother Hu!”

Wang Yun ran up. The two looked up and saw it was the boss, and their previously downcast expressions immediately turned to joy.

“Boss, are you okay–”

“No time! Give the raft to me and Xiao Gang. Brother Hu, you carry the luggage. Let’s get out of here quickly,” Wang Yun interrupted him immediately.

Brother Hu’s strength was already exhausted, considering he had been carrying the raft all along.

“Xiao Gang, lighten up at the back. Pull yourself together, let’s get out of here quickly. In five and a half hours, there will be an earthquake here.”

The two were a bit dumbfounded.

It was fine just now, how come there was suddenly an earthquake? And it was happening in just five hours?

“Okay! Let’s go!”

Although Brother Hu and Xiao Gang were puzzled, they immediately headed toward the river.

At this time, the river was even more turbulent than before. The splashing water from the currents hitting the rocks had already reached the shore.

“Right here, I’ll let go first.”

Wang Yun came to the riverbank, pointing to a small gap where they could barely set foot. He carefully put the raft down, then hurried to Xiao Gang’s side, pulling on the rope attached to the raft.

“Brother Hu, get the climbing hook out of the bag,” Wang Yun said.

“Boss, what do you need the climbing hook for?”

Brother Hu handed it over.

The climbing hook is a tool used for mountaineering—a combination of a rope and a hook with three iron claws. When climbers find that the point of force is too far away, they can use their arm strength to throw it over. Let the hook firmly grasp rocks or cracks, then secure it so that climbers can go over.

“The current is too fast, Boss probably wants to use it in case of sudden situations,” Xiao Gang said.

Wang Yun nodded.

“I’m going to put the raft down, you go on one by one. Brother Hu, you go first. After getting on, grab the river grass by the shore. Quickly!”

After Wang Yun finished speaking, Brother Hu didn’t hesitate at all, stepping on first. Because the water level had dropped, Brother Hu essentially jumped down.

As soon as he jumped down, he lost his balance, and the raft swayed violently for a moment. Fortunately, he adjusted his center of gravity in time. In just a few seconds, he was able to stand steadily. 

Then he slowly lay down, increasing the points of contact. He crawled to the riverside, grabbing the river grass with both hands, and his body was pressed tightly against the raft.

“Xiao Gang, get on.”

The second, Xiao Gang, went up smoothly. With the two of them stabilizing, when Wang Yun got on, there wasn’t much shaking.

“Next, we’re going to drift along the river into the sea. Tie the rope around your waist to prevent us from getting separated. Once we’re in the sea, paddle quickly towards the shore. I’ve investigated, the western shore leads to Smoky Forest. As long as we get to Smoky Forest, we’ll be much safer,” Wang Yun said.

The two nodded, counted down, “Three, two, one,” and released their hands simultaneously.

In an instant, the large raft rushed forward. Its speed was equivalent to sixty miles per hour, much faster than before.
