Chapter 83: Chapter 83 The Tornado Cos as Fast as Love

Tornadoes generally form under severe thunderstorms and strong convective weather, and over here in Arica, the hot sumrs, high temperatures, and great humidity create ideal conditions for the formation and developnt of tornadoes.

On average, Arica experiences around 1200 tornado disasters each year, a rare occurrence in China, but more frequent than nstruation here.

So their encounter with a tornado could be considered unlucky, but not unusual.

Catina had just finished suggesting they run, and she had intended to wait for Li Ang, but Li Ang, who had been closer to the tornado, reached her side in the blink of an eye before she could react, grabbed her arm, and began to sprint ahead.

In the first few steps, she was able to keep up with Li Ang’s pace, but soon, it turned into Li Ang dragging her along the grass as they ran.

Catina suspected that if she had been any thinner, she might already be flying like a kite by now.

As Li Ang ran for his life, he observed the tornado’s movents, but he quickly realized that the tornado kept growing larger in his field of vision.

In fact, it’s normal not to outrun a tornado; even driving a car might not be enough to outpace its speed.

The average speed of a tornado’s movent can reach 15 ters per second, or 54 kiloters per hour, while the extre speed of a human, even for Bolt, is only 38 kiloters per hour.

And the fastest tornadoes can reach up to 70 ters per second, which converts to 252 kiloters per hour, surpassing the top speeds of most cars.

Moreover, the path of a tornado is not a fixed line, so trying to run to the side is futile because you never know which direction it is actually moving towards.

Thus, when you encounter a tornado, you can only pray you are not on its path because if it really targets you, there’s absolutely no chance of outrunning it.

Having realized this, Li Ang imdiately switched from blindly running to observing the surroundings.

“Go there, there’s a big tree!”

This area was all flat land with no buildings to take shelter in, so now their only choice was to find a tree to cling to, hoping not to be swept away by the wind.

By the ti they reached the base of the tree, they could clearly see the debris inside the tornado, including leaves, trash, and rooftop tiles.

Luckily, the tree was thick enough for one person to embrace, with a little space to spare.

“Quick! Lie down on the ground and wrap your arms around the tree.”

The sound of the wind was already trendous, and Li Ang had to shout so that Catina could barely hear him.

Catina did not hesitate; faced with the sudden situation, the only thing she could rely on was Li Ang.

So her body almost subconsciously carried out his instructions.

Li Ang wasn’t idle either; he took off his clothes and twisted them into a rope, winding one end around his own arm.

Since the clothes were lightweight and breathable for the sumr, expecting them to provide any protection when worn was nonsensical; it was better to use them as a rope to ensure a more secure grip on the tree.

Seeing that Catina had obediently lain down as he had instructed, Li Ang pressed his body on top of hers, covering her completely with his own.

Then, he wrapped his arms around the tree and used the twisted clothing as a rope to secure his arms, ensuring to the greatest extent that he wouldn’t lose grip.

At that mont, Li Ang had no other thoughts in his mind.

I’m the boss, a good boss, and I should be in front of my employees in a crisis!

If I let my employees take the front, what difference would there be between and those unscrupulous bosses I’ve condemned?

If I were an emotionless machine, the best course of action at this mont would be to knock Catina unconscious with a punch and then cover her body with mine to minimize the injuries I would sustain, but Li Ang was not.

So hurts weren’t a big deal for to bear, but if they fell on her, she would probably die very quickly.

For so reason, Catina wasn’t as scared as she had been just monts before; she even felt an unconventional sense of romance.

She even thought that if she were to die here today, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.

Moreover, the part of her body that was in contact with Li Ang could only be described with one word: hard!

And the beating of Li Ang’s heart was sothing she had never experienced before, so strong and powerful. She had thought the character in a comic book, whose heartbeat was called the “Emperor’s Engine,” was an exaggeration, but now she realized that maybe art does imitate life.

Li Ang closed his eyes, tensed all the muscles in his body, and readied himself for the imminent impact. Adrenaline was rushing through him, fortifying him against the pain he was about to endure.

After ten seconds, Li Ang could already feel the pain of sand and leaves, picked up by the tornado, striking against his body.

Twenty seconds passed, and a tree branch as thick as a pen scraped across his arm, leaving a white mark, while Catina’s arm, which was pressed tightly against his, was rely brushed by it and imdiately showed a trace of blood.

At twenty-five seconds, both of them desperately pressed their heads low and used their arms to fiercely protect the sides of their heads. Li Ang felt as though soone was whipping his back.

Thirty seconds in, Li Ang’s mind was completely blank except for one thought: he had to get through this.

His arms were exerting themselves to the limit, resisting the force that was pushing his body diagonally backward and upward.

Li Ang could feel various debris passing over his back, but fortunately, his head, which was tightly pressed against the tree trunk, didn’t suffer much impact.

However, he didn’t feel much pain, nor could he even tell if his pants were still on his body.

This wasn’t necessarily a good sign; the more adrenaline, the more likely it was that he was seriously injured.

Moreover, with pain masked by adrenaline, many are unaware of where they are injured, often resulting in delayed treatnt.

Just like at so car accident scenes, many people feel fine after being hit and can even stand up and walk a few steps, but in reality, their bodies have suffered severe internal damage, and so even die shortly afterward despite attempts at resuscitation.

One minute passed, and the wind finally started to slow down. Fortunately, both of them were still under the tree, not carried away by the wind.

Three minutes later, everything was calm. If not for the ground that had been plowed by the tornado, everything would seem as if nothing had happened.

Catina moved her body with difficulty; even though Li Ang had shielded her from most of the impact, the exposed parts of her body were still streaked with blood.

The loss of blood made her vision darken, and her body felt weak.

But she stood up. She had to get Li Ang ho.

If only one person survived this romantic disaster, then it wouldn’t be romantic at all.
