776 Brave Winds and Waves (1/2)
The next day, Wang Yao was thinking about the next step to take in the hotel. He had received news from Jia Zizai that confirmed Chairman Zhang Wei was fine. The person who had died in the explosion was not Zhang Wei. Instead, it was his double. Now, Zhang Wei was hiding in an unknown corner of Dao, preparing to find out who was behind the situation and planning how to handle it.
A double! How interesting! The chairman's thinking is complicated. No wonder Jia Zizai and Hu Mei are afraid of him.
Wang Yao decided to stay for two more days. If there was still no progress, he would return home.
That night, it rained in Dao. A typhoon was approaching, creating a tumultuous sea.
\”What a wind!\”
Wang Yao walked out of the hotel with an umbrella over his head. He hired a taxi to take him to the seaside. Upon arriving, the waves roared as they crashed against the reef.
\”Hey, don't stay at the seaside for too long at a time like this,\” the taxi driver said. \”The typhoon is coming. The sea wind is strong, and the waves are high and dangerous.\”
\”I see. Thank you.\” Wang Yao smiled and waved. \”A big wind is good!\”
The driver sighed and thought, What is this young man doing by the sea at this time?
People who lived close to the sea knew that when a typhoon was forming, it would be windy and stormy on land. Few people would go to the seaside. They would just stay home.
Wang Yao stood by the sea, quietly watching the peak of the waves. Normally, there would be ships going out to sea braving the winds and waves. Now, there were no ships visible.
Wang Yao began searching around the reef. He had never experienced such extreme weather, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation.
He found a tree, which had been blown down by a strong wind, about 11 inches in diameter. He grabbed the tree with one hand and pulled it up.
\”I'm sorry, I'm going to borrow half your body,\” Wang Yao said to the tree.
He held his palms together like a knife and cut down. With a crack, the tree was cut off at the trunk. It was extremely fragile.
With a few whooshes, the branches on the trunk were also cut off. His speed was extremely fast. In a short time, the entire tree was bare.
The driver on the side of the road could barely see the man working busily by the sea through the storm. He thought, Ah, what is that man doing? Hurry up and leave! It's such a huge storm.
With great strength, Wang Yao threw the tree trunk into the sea. He flew up and landed on the log. The waves roiled, lifting the log toward the shore. He waved his hand strongly in the opposite direction. His feet firmly gripped the wood under his feet. The log began to move toward the sea. His hands were constantly drumming back and forth. The log was moving faster and faster, breaking through the wind and waves and rushing toward the sea.
Wang Yao's surroundings were gales, storms, and huge waves. Glancing ahead, there was a vast expanse of nothingness. He was getting farther and farther away from the coast behind.
He was not afraid. He grew even bolder. This was the real world.
The sunny, picturesque mountains and rivers were the real world. The forceful gales, towering waves, roiling storms, and crashing thunder were also the real world.
Wang Yao threw his head up and laughed. Normally, he would never act in this way since there were typically too many people by the seaside. It would be too unbelievable for others to witness man stepping on a log and going out to sea. Once they saw that his clothes and shoes didn't touch the water, he would look like a deity coming to Earth, comparable to the legend of Damo crossing the river with a reed.
Standing on the log, Wang Yao galloped freely in the storm and began to practice Qi boxing. His body's aura was vigorous and powerful. He did not hold back when striking each fist out. His punches broke through the air and waves.
Meanwhile, a man was standing in the wind and rain on a hillock in Dao. Another man approached and said, \”It's so stormy. Why are you here?\”
\”It's because of the heavy wind and rain that I came here,\” the first man said. \”Those people are observing very closely during the day!\”
\”What about Li Fang's side?\” the other man asked.
\”He is more honest and rarely contacts those people,\” the first man said. \”He's mainly with his son.\”
\”Listen to him,\” the first man said. \”He must have some ideas.\”
\”Yes,\” the other man replied.
