Chapter 341: Chapter 340: A Strange Smile on Her Face

Military district, the meteorological department, because tomorrow is the day the typhoon makes landfall.

So, this night, neither Zhao Hongxing nor the others in the meteorological department dare to sleep.

They all stay up late to closely monitor the tropical depression.

Then, it is observed that during the day, it was just a tropical depression, but it continuously strengthens as night falls.

And it seems to be racing against time, rapidly intensifying.

"The speed of this strengthening is too fast. If it continues like this, it will soon be a typhoon."

Zhao Hongxing, holding the recorded data, frowned.

There is a certain classification and intensity division from tropical depression to typhoon, and from typhoon to severe typhoon as well. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

As it turns out, Zhao Hongxing’s intuition was right.

Before long...

"It’s a typhoon, it has already become a typhoon."

Yes, it has already strengthened into a typhoon.

Zhao Hongxing didn’t dare to delay, promptly notifying the leaders.

Earlier, everyone was hoping it was just a tropical depression, after all, the power of a severe typhoon is too frightening.

But now, it has already strengthened into a typhoon.

Then, perhaps, just as Doctor Gu said, by tomorrow, it might really become a severe typhoon?

Upon this thought, everyone’s expressions turned serious.

There was admiration for Gu Jia Ning’s almost "premonition," and deep concern for the possible arrival of the severe typhoon.

In the military district, this night, not many could sleep well.

Because since yesterday, the defense work has been ongoing.

Evacuating island residents was only the first step.

There are many more tasks to be done.

Like reinforcing houses, boarding up windows with planks or sandbags, and dismantling things that could fall.

If there are livestock, they need to be moved to safe places, too.

Also, stocking up on drinking water and food, light sources like candles, matches, kerosene lamps, etc.

After all, once a severe typhoon comes, it won’t leave quickly.

It would take several days to fully pass.

The military district also has to prepare for rescue operations.

Such as ropes, raincoats and boots, machetes, etc. Although many residents cooperated in evacuating, some stubbornly stayed home, influenced by rumors, and did not evacuate.

Although evacuation wasn’t mandatory, these people couldn’t be completely ignored either.

At this moment, Sheng Zexi was not in the hospital.

He was called in overnight to help.

Now, he is with other comrades, stacking bags of sand along the coast.

The sandbags being piled up is a line of defense.

After all, if the severe typhoon really comes, it will certainly cause big waves.

And if those waves hit the shore, it will definitely cause casualties.

So, sandbags must be used to block the waves brought by the severe typhoon.

At this moment, light rain started to fall.

Rain covered Sheng Zexi’s face, but he didn’t have time to wipe it.

Feeling the wind grow stronger, Sheng Zexi frowned, his expression serious.

"This wind doesn’t look like a tropical depression at all."

"Could it be that a severe typhoon will really come?"

At this point, a comrade next to him mumbled.

"Yeah, if it’s a severe typhoon, then our defenses need to be even better prepared."

The others echoed in agreement.

They agreed but their hands kept moving.

In fact, Sheng Zexi thought the same.

Perhaps, it’s no longer a tropical depression now.

Sure enough, soon the leader came with an announcement.

After meteorological monitoring, the tropical depression has strengthened into a typhoon.

Sheng Zexi felt that his prediction was correct.

But Sheng Zexi’s brow never relaxed.

He worried about Gu Jia Ning, who was in the hospital expecting childbirth.

And he was also worried about the current situation.

At the moment, the defenses aren’t quite adequate.

The arrival of the severe typhoon would likely impact the island significantly.

-

Meanwhile, the Lin father and son knew the tropical depression had strengthened into a typhoon.

In the dead of night, neither father nor son slept.

Father Lin’s gaze towards Lin Chushi was not very pleasant.

"Chushi, do you think this typhoon will strengthen into a severe typhoon?" Father Lin asked expressionlessly.

Lin Chushi shivered immediately, "Dad, how can that be? Absolutely impossible."

"But now, it’s no longer a tropical depression; it’s a typhoon!" Father Lin emphasized.

"Yes, now it’s a typhoon, but there’s a big difference between a typhoon and a severe typhoon, with lots in between. It’s less than a night; how can it become a severe typhoon?" Lin Chushi desperately explained.

Father Lin also felt the likelihood of it strengthening into a severe typhoon in just a few hours was small, but not impossible.

Especially...

Father Lin thought about the previous drug cartel incident, where his son fell short compared to Sheng Zexi.

So...

What will happen this time?

If a severe typhoon does arrive, then both Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning are indeed formidable!

Father Lin’s sharp gaze fell on Lin Chushi, "You better pray it’s just a typhoon, or else..."

Lin Chushi shivered at his father’s gaze. "Dad, I know."

Lin Chushi was aware of the impact this incident could have on them father and son.

Currently, they were involved personally.

Especially him, as he had made a military pledge.

If it turns out to be a severe typhoon, then he loses, and his future might be ruined.

His supporting father would also be affected.

But as long as it’s just a tropical depression, even a typhoon, as long as it’s not a severe typhoon, those affected would be Sheng Zexi, Gu Jia Ning, and the backing Mr. Lu behind them.

So, this is not just about a typhoon,

but a confrontation between them.

This confrontation is now left to fate.

At this time, in the Lin family house, another person couldn’t sleep.

It was Zhang Qiumei, secretly eavesdropping outside the study.

Listening to their conversation, Zhang Qiumei’s eyes sparkled with unknown thoughts.

After a while, she curved her lips into a sinister smile, and then quietly left.

-

Time slipped by bit by bit; it was still before dawn.

The wind roared, causing the trees on the island to sway significantly.

Old Man Zhang’s house was one of those that didn’t evacuate.

Old Man Zhang, fast asleep, was woken up by the fierce sound of the wind outside.

Along with the great noise of objects being thrown around by the wind, which startled him and his sleeping wife.

His wife clutched his arm, "Old man, do you think a severe typhoon will really come?"

Old Man Zhang felt a bit panicked, and the words he spoke seemed to reassure either himself or his wife.

"It won’t, it won’t. Didn’t they say it’s just a tropical depression? How could it be a severe typhoon?"
