Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 536 Let the workers rest for a day
[Typhoon Orange Alert! Approaching Coastal Landfall!]

"According to this newspaper, the 17th, 20th and 21st typhoons of this year have formed in the East my country Sea and the South China Sea, and are 300 to 500 kilometers away from the coast of my country and are moving towards the coast of my country."

"Typhoon No. 17, Mukwang, is located 320 kilometers off the coast of Wujiang Province, my country, with a maximum wind force of level 14. It is moving southwest at a speed of 18 kilometers per hour and is expected to make landfall in the Ningcheng area of ​​Shanghai in 18 hours."

"Typhoon Huangyu, the 20th typhoon of the year, is located 390 kilometers off the coast of Fujian Province, my country, with a maximum wind force of level 15. It is moving southwest at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour and is expected to make landfall at Bailuzhou in 20 hours."

"Typhoon No. 21, Hongliu, is located 460 kilometers off the southern coast of Guangdong Province, with a maximum wind force of level 17. It is moving northwest at a speed of about 25 kilometers per hour and is expected to make landfall in the vicinity of Shenzhen and Guangzhou in 19 hours."

……

Before Gu Zhao and Daoist Qingye communicated telepathically, they had just gone home for dinner and saw on the TV news that Typhoon Hongliu was about to affect Guangzhou. They also learned about the other two typhoons.

Then he received a telepathic message from Yun Yang, asking if he could help disperse the typhoon, or...

“I’ll change his direction, have Mu Xiong and Huang Yu turn northeast and go for a spin around Ying Gao,” Yun Yang chuckled.

"Why don't you direct both of these typhoons toward Mount Fuji and trigger the volcano while you're at it?" Gu Zhao said speechlessly. "An erupting volcano combined with a strong typhoon would rain volcanic ash and acid rain all over Yinggao. Wouldn't that be even more spectacular?"

"hiss--"

Yun Yang gasped, "Is it really that ruthless?"

"Sect Leader, you really have a good idea!" Yun Yang had already begun to consider the feasibility, but still asked with some concern, "But isn't this a bit too ruthless? Many people might die."

"Holy crap!" Gu Zhao couldn't help but exclaim, "You're really planning to do it?!"

"Hahaha!" Yun Yang laughed, teasingly adding, "I'm just agreeing with you, aren't I?"

"Stop joking. Can you even handle being in charge of the wooden bear?" Gu Zhao asked.

"A piece of cake!" Yun Yang patted his chest confidently. "I can fly to the moon. Breaking up a typhoon is a piece of cake for me."

“Alright then.” Gu Zhao nodded. “Give the yellow croaker to Uncle Qingye, and the red willow to Uncle Fangde and Uncle Wuzhi.”

"Aren't you going to make a move?" Yun Yang asked.

"Such a trivial matter, does it really require me, the head of the Great Luo Palace, to intervene?" Gu Zhao retorted.

Yun Yang and Gu Zhao chuckled twice and then prepared to set off.

"What's the rush? I'll stay at home for one night and go back to the Taoist Research Institute tomorrow morning to pick up Uncle Qingye and the others. Then you can set off together."

……

The next morning, less than ten hours before the typhoon made landfall.

Typhoon Mukwang, which is about to make landfall in the Shanghai area, and Typhoon Huangyu, which is about to make landfall in Fujian Province, have both increased in strength by one level, with the central wind force reaching level 15 and 16 respectively, and the central wind force reaching 50 meters per second.

Typhoon Hongliu, which is near Guangzhou, is even stronger than a super typhoon, reaching level 17 or higher, with a central wind force of nearly 62 meters per second.

Orange alerts were issued in most coastal areas, and red alerts were issued in several cities where the typhoon was about to make landfall.

The entire city was shut down, with work and classes suspended and transportation halted. Except for the flood control department, which was prepared and on standby, everyone was notified to return home to rest and ensure their safety.

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi were supposed to have a rehearsal today, but they were given the day off. At this moment, the two of them had stocked up on a lot of snacks and drinks and were snuggling together on the sofa watching TV.

Gu Zhao spoke with the two men on the phone, then went to the Taoist Research Institute and brought over Master Qingye and the other two. Gu Zhao invited Yun Yang and the three old Taoists to sit down, and casually set out a pot of tea, four teacups, and several plates of pastries, cakes, melon seeds, and peanuts made by the embroiderers.

"Weren't we planning to break up the typhoon?" Yun Yang asked Gu Zhao. "Why did you specifically tell me not to send a message to the office to cancel the typhoon warning?"

Gu Zhao looked at Yun Yang and clicked his tongue, "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless."

Yun Yang was completely confused. "What do you mean?"

"Working people and students work so hard, it's rare to have an extra day off during a typhoon."

Gu Zhao took a piece of brown sugar mille-feuille, took a sip of Wuyi Da Hong Pao tea, and said calmly, "They've probably been looking forward to this day off for the past two days. How can you possibly shatter their expectations?"

Yun Yang, "..."

Master Fang De also took a pastry and said with a smile, "The sect leader has a compassionate heart and empathy for the people!"

Master Wuzhi then started cracking melon seeds. “Not bad, not bad. Let’s delay our actions and let them have a good day off.”

Master Qingye took a sip of hot tea, thought for a moment, and said, "Will there be people who ignore typhoon days and require their employees to work during typhoons?"

Yun Yang also realized what was going on, and with a smile, he picked up a few peanuts and put them in his mouth. "The system wouldn't dare to gamble on this probability. If a shady company did this, I wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson."

Gu Zhao nodded. "Human life is of paramount importance. If anyone dares to disregard human life, then let them experience the consequences of disregarding human life."

……

Gu Zhao, Yun Yang, and the three old Taoist priests sat in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting. Several cleaners and security guards in the distance saw this and then quietly approached the security booth.

"Brother Li, why did Mr. Gu bring so many people back today?" A cleaning worker asked in a low voice, looking worried. "Are they going to attack someone?"

"I don't know!" The security captain shook his head. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

Another older security guard frowned in thought, "I haven't heard of any new forces emerging recently. After the big bosses in those telecom fraud parks were taken down, the remaining scattered and insignificant ones only dare to scam money and no longer dare to harm people."

A cleaning staff member standing nearby had a gleam in his eye. "Lately, Yinggao and Luzon have been harassing us like leeches, are they planning to take action against us?"

The security captain waved his hand, "That's definitely not it, the Taoist priests don't deal with this kind of thing."

The security guard next to him thought for a moment, "Could it be targeting this typhoon? The Taoist priests at the Taoist Research Institute first manifested their divine power in public because of the nationwide rainstorm crisis."

"But if it's because of the typhoon, why didn't they inform the office?"

The cleaning man asked, "Now that all the cities have issued warnings and made preparations, they've spent a lot of money and effort. If we had known in advance, wouldn't we have saved that money?"

The security guard shook his head. "Then I don't know."

Several security guards and cleaners gathered in the guard booth and discussed the matter for a long time, but they couldn't come to a conclusion. They could only inform the Taoist office about the matter and ask them to continue the discussion.

Taoist Studies Office: ? ? ?

"No, you don't know? Can't you at least ask?"
