While Wolf Xie and the search and rescue team members stayed at the beach to rescue people, the beautiful Gou had already walked along the city streets that had been hit by the huge tsunami.

Before the big storm came, Gou Fugui had guessed through the conversation between the two college students that this doomsday might be related to the ocean or the rain.

But as someone who was born and raised inland, seeing the scene of a city hit by a tsunami for the first time, he was also a little frightened.

Most of the trees on both sides of the road were knocked down, and some were even broken in half, revealing huge sharp wood splinters.

Even the houses built with cement bricks and tiles were turned into ruins by the huge waves. Various furniture and even some food could be seen among the ruins.

The only thing that made people feel a little better was that there were no dead bodies or injured people in the collapsed houses. Perhaps it was just like what the firefighter said, most of the people living near the sea had heard the tsunami warning and fled to safe areas.

So it seemed a little strange for Gou Fugui to be walking alone on the street, and he couldn’t find anyone to ask about the location of the safe zone. He looked at the seawater that had already reached his ankles, and for a moment he thought that it would be better to go back to the sea and become a rich otter than to be a human.

Fortunately, just when Gou Fugui was beginning to waver, loudspeakers in various areas of Nanhai City sounded again, and Gou Fugui heard what he wanted to hear.

【Tsunami is approaching. Because the area is affected by the tsunami and sea storms, Nanhai City will be expecting continuous strong winds and heavy rains in the next few days. All citizens living near the sea are requested to pack up and move to safe zones!

Let me emphasize again! All citizens living near the sea please pack up and move to safe zones! Do not insist on staying at home! This tsunami is the strongest in history, and ordinary buildings can hardly withstand even normal tsunamis!

Each safe zone has enough food and water and can receive and send messages anytime, so please evacuate with peace of mind! 】

【The locations of the safe zones in Nanhai City will now be announced. 】

Gou Fugui stood there and listened for a while, and heard the names of several safety zones. One of them, called “Binhai Road Stadium”, caught his attention, because the road he was on was Binhai Road, and the stadium on this road…

Gou Fugui looked around for a while and finally spotted a tall building in the front which was shaped like a cube but seemed very solid.

His intuition told him that that should be the Binhai Road Stadium.

As Gou Fugui waddled through the water under the strong wind and rain, he also saw the one big word “Stadium” labeled at the entrance.

Here, Gou Fugui finally saw other living people in this city. Those who were rushing to the stadium were carrying big and small bags as if they had brought all their belongings with them from their homes. In comparison, Gou Fugui’s small black backpack, which wasn’t even his own, seemed very… well, very careless.

But beauty Gou said that this was not a big deal.

Even the clothes he was wearing and the pair of slippers on his feet were picked up from the sea and the road.  But at least with a backpack, he was in much better condition than that werewolf’s team.

Gou Fugui opened the small backpack he had picked up, and in addition to the two large crabs he had not finished eating, a set of exquisite combs and mirrors, there was also a wallet. There was no money in the wallet, but there was a bank card and an ID card.

When Gou Fugui picked up the ID card, he was very surprised to find that the face and name on the ID card gradually changed from a stranger to his own.

This is probably a small benefit that the “world consciousness” gives to these doomsday saviors. To stay in this world, you must have a legal identity.

“It’s a pity that the bank card didn’t become mine.” Beauty Gou muttered in a low voice.

However, the world consciousness no longer paid attention to this human’s excessive demands, which made Gou Fugui very regretful.

“Madam! Stop being dazed! It’s raining so much, hurry up and come inside!”

Gou Fugui was rummaging through his bag when he heard someone calling out to him. However, because of the word “Madam”, he wondered if the words were directed at him. Unfortunately, he turned around and didn’t see anyone else in this direction, so he could only sigh and walk forward.

His long hair always causes misunderstandings.

But he won’t cut it, absolutely not, and he won’t cut it even if someone offered him money!

After all, a 26-year-old boy with long black hair gives him the advantage so he can show off in his friend circle. He likes to be a unique minority.

However, it is still a bit troublesome to let your hair down, as he has to tie it up again.

When Gou Fugui arrived at the entrance, the smile froze on the face of the enthusiastic young man who was shouting the moment he saw him.

Although Gou Fugui had a beautiful face, his appearance and temperament would never make people think he was a woman. It was a face of elegance, with upturned eyes and eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and just the right thin lips. If he tied his long hair up high, he would look like a handsome prince in ancient books when he smiled.

It was also because of this that the enthusiastic young man who initially thought she was a girl who was single was hit hard. He caught a glimpse and thought it was his first encounter with his lover in the rain, but instead of his lover, he met a typical pretty boy.

Just with that look, that height, that temperament, and that extremely beautiful long straight black hair!

This is the public enemy of all males!!

The expression on the face of the young man changed visibly from stiff to serious: “Hello, comrade, you need to register your identity before entering the stadium. Please show me your citizen ID card.”

Gou Fugui’s lips twitched as he watched his sudden change in expression, and then he took out his ID card with a forced smile.

Can’t even take this blow? If we meet in the toilet next time, and I whip out a bigger one than yours, won’t you just straight away faint?

Really, you are too young and can’t endure the psychological attacks.

Gou Fugui swiped his ID card and was allowed to enter the stadium for shelter, and he also received a number tag for his own single-person tent.

The interior of the gymnasium had obviously been cleaned up in advance, and the large sports equipment had been stored in the warehouse or put aside. In the middle of the stadium, rows of simple accommodation tents were neatly set up. Gou Fugui roughly counted them and found that there were about thirty rows, with forty tents in each row.

The stadium has three floors in total. The middle and upper floors are currently in use, while the remaining underground was empty, although stronger and storm-resistant, is more prone to moisture and water accumulation, and will probably be used later when more people come.

Gou Fugui’s single-person tent is in the middle of the second row, closer to the entrance.

When he saw that his single tent was facing the entrance, he couldn’t help but wonder if the poor-eyed young man who registered him was deliberately targeting him because of his beauty.

After all, there was room on the side of the third row at the back, but he was assigned to the middle of the second row.

Gou Fugui sighed softly. Sure enough, once he regained his true appearance, he would be targeted because of his beauty. Couldn’t they just take a closer look at his interesting and tenacious soul?

But Gou Fugui didn’t want to say anything more at this moment. He was extremely tired and needed to rest urgently.

When Gou Fugui walked into his own tent No. 223, the first thing he saw was not the sleeping bag in the middle, but two bottles of mineral water, two boxes of instant noodles, and a bag of bread placed in the corner of the tent.

He went into the tent and ate a bag of bread and drank a bottle of mineral water, and then he felt that his body had recovered a little. But he was still very tired, so he took off his clothes and put them aside, then went into his sleeping bag and had a good sleep.

He was too tired to even take a shower, plus he had no clothes to change into after taking a shower. Let’s just wait and think about it after he wakes up.

*** ***

When Gou Fugui woke up after a deep sleep, he felt uncomfortable all over. At this time, he wanted to take a shower, change into dry clothes, blow dry his hair, and then think about how to get money to buy clothes and food.

He put on the black pants and white shirt with disgust, and with sleepy eyes and loose hair, he opened the tent and walked out.

But when he unzipped the tent and just stuck his head out, he bumped head-on into an overly hard chest.

Not to mention, this hardness and touch seem somehow familiar.

At the same time, he heard another familiar voice: “Boss! That guy targeted you because you are tall and handsome! He deliberately put you in the middle of the second row! Your tent is facing the wind! How about I switch with you? My tent is a little to the side!”

Beauty Gou: “…” He suddenly didn’t want to look up.

Unfortunately, if he didn’t move, the enemy also wouldn’t move. He also heard a more familiar, low voice that sounded a bit annoyed: “Why do you want to change? 224 is good. Besides, I have strong firepower.”

Gou Fugui: “……”

Oh, damned his firepower, such familiar and annoying words.

Gou Fugui still insisted and didn’t look up.

As a result, Mr. ‘Strong Firepower’ on the opposite side lowered his head and stared at his long straight black hair, and asked with a smile: “This…… lady, I’m sorry, did I hurt you?”

Lady Gou raised ‘her’ head, rolled ‘her’ eyes, and looked at him expressionlessly.

When Xie Tianlang first saw this face, he suddenly broke into an undisguised smile.

“It turns out to be a brother.”

“This brother, have we met each other somewhere before?”

Gou Fugui: “……”

Qin Feng, Lu Hu: “……”

Song Sanchuan: “……”

Captain Xie aaaah. It’s already this day and age, why do you still have such a clichéd way of picking up girls!!!

The author has something to say:

Xie Tianlang: I have seen this brother before.

Gou Fugui: ……tui¹Sound effect of spitting! Call me daddy!

Do you remember the last time when I had strong firepower? Chapter 7. The dog-head smiled.

The guy at the door: Why are there so many public enemies for males today???

TL’s note: Guys I’m traveling to China and won’t be able to post bc of the security there, so this and “The NPC was once again frightened by me” will be on a hiatus until the 15 of July.
