With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Click—"

A dazzling bolt of lightning flashed outside, seemingly tearing the entire sky apart.

The expressions on the faces of everyone in the room changed repeatedly.

Nangong Xiao walked to the window, looking at the raging wind and rain outside, with thunder and lightning, and the sky looking like it was about to collapse. His brows furrowed even more.

"Sister, it seems we can't stay in the city any longer!"

Cao Bin continued, "The area within a ten-mile radius outside the city is flooded, and many people are blocking the city gate with their valuables, trying to get out of the city."

Nangong Wu stood up. "Then open the city gates today and make sure the people in the city are safely sent out of the city."

"Your Highness, the wind outside is too strong, and the boats we prepared are too small..." Cao Bin couldn't finish his sentence.

The past few days have only seen heavy rain with little wind, but since yesterday, strong winds have been blowing. If those small boats are put into the water, they will probably be capsized immediately.

This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such heavy and prolonged rain.

"Let's go out and check the situation first." Nangong Wu picked up the raincoat and high-top rubber boots that were placed next to the door and put them on.

I got this raincoat from that supermarket. It has a double brim design, with a wide outer brim to block rain from the front and a three-dimensional structure for the inner brim to prevent side winds. The high collar and windproof buckle prevent rainwater from flowing down the brim into the neck.

The dozen or so people inside also picked up their raincoats and rubber boots and put them on.

Nangong Wu dressed first and stepped into the rain.

Outside, a fierce wind and torrential rain were blowing, making it almost impossible to stand. The large raindrops hit people and hurt a little.

"Little sister." Nangong Xiao couldn't help but grab Nangong Wu's arm, afraid that her body, which weighed less than 100 pounds, would be blown away by the wind.

The rain is so heavy that I feel like I'm having trouble breathing.

Everyone's hearts sank.

If those with profound inner strength are like this, then the ordinary people waiting at the city gate are even less capable.

"Let's go quickly." Nangong Wu strode towards the entrance of the government office.

Heavy rain causes atmospheric pressure to drop, air density to decrease, and oxygen content to drop. It is extremely dangerous for people with weak cardiopulmonary function or illness to stay in such heavy rain.

As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I saw many ordinary people standing at the bottom of the steps, all wearing straw hats and raincoats; there were also long lines of horse-drawn carriages on the street, and people were helping each other walk towards the city gate.

When they saw them come out, the people all knelt down.

The old scholar, Li, pleaded, "Young Master! The outside is flooded, and the rain is only getting heavier. Runan City will soon be submerged. I beg you, please think of a way to save the people in the city!"

"Don't worry, we will rescue the people in the city." After saying that, Nangong Wu gave Li Zhan a wink.

Li Zhan walked down the steps and helped the old man Li up. "The rain is too heavy now, so you should go home and stay there. His Highness will open the city gates now and make sure everyone is sent out of the city. You can come out later."

Nangong Wu also said, "Don't worry, we have already found a cave where we can take shelter from the rain, and we have enough food."

Even if the river floods into the city, we will make sure everyone is evacuated; we will not leave anyone behind.

Hearing her words, the people felt somewhat at ease.

"With Your Highness's words, we can rest assured!"

"Then let's go home and wait."

Having received their message, these people felt reassured and went home first.

"Your Highness!" Ji Hongfei used his lightness skill to fly over and land in front of them.

When Nangong Wu saw him, a bad feeling washed over her. "Weren't you guarding the north gate? What happened?"

"The rain was so heavy that many old houses in the city that had been in disrepair for years collapsed. Many people were scared and carried their belongings to the North Gate, wanting to leave the city," Ji Hongfei told them about the situation at the North Gate.

"Go back now and calm those people down! Li Ke, take some men to rescue the people in the collapsed houses. Make sure they are rescued," Nangong Wu ordered.

Ji Hongfei hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, I have already sent people to rescue you."

"You did a great job." Nangong Wu nodded approvingly at him. "Then go and tell them that the north gate will not be opened, but arrangements have been made to send people out of the city through the south gate. Tell them not to panic, and that we will not abandon a single citizen in the city."

They had already planned the route out of the city and how to arrange the personnel. Especially at this time, they couldn't afford to lose their composure.

"Understood!" Ji Hongfei received the order and used his lightness skill to leave again.

"Let's go to the south gate." Nangong Wu also used her lightness skill to get onto the roof and headed towards the south gate.

At the city gate, many civilians stood. Li Hu, with about a hundred soldiers, blocked the gate and was earnestly persuading them to go back first. His Highness was thinking of a way to rescue everyone.

"Everyone, don't panic!" Nangong Xiao's voice, infused with his inner strength, rang out.

"Your Highness has arrived!" Li Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had finally come.

No matter how much they tried to persuade them, these people refused to go back. If the stalemate continued, they would forcefully open the city gates.

It was truly an ocean outside, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, with thunder and lightning. Anyone would be scared and wouldn't want to stay in the city and wait to die.

When those people saw that Nangong Wu and Nangong Xiao had arrived, they stopped making noise.

A middle-aged man, holding the hands of two teenagers, pleaded tearfully, "Your Highness, our house has collapsed; we can't stay in the city to die any longer!"

Nangong Wu took out a megaphone and shouted to the crowd, "Listen up, everyone! Runan City is now surrounded by floodwaters, and it is definitely no longer safe to stay in the city."

But don't worry, we will get everyone out safely. We're opening the city gates now, so please don't panic.

"Great! We can finally get out!" The people who were blocking the city gate cheered and rushed towards the gate.

"Everyone, line up! Don't push!"

Li Hu led his men to set up several barricades to block the people and maintain order.

Upon hearing that the city gates were to be opened, some soldiers immediately went to drag over several small boats.

Cao Bin looked at the small boats with a worried expression. "Your Highness, the current outside is swift and the wind is strong. It's impossible to transport people using these small boats."

"It's useful. Let them drag it out first," Nangong Wu said.

Nangong Xiao trusted his younger sister; if she said it was useful, then it was useful.

"Men! Lower the drawbridge immediately and open the city gates!"

"yes!"

The soldiers on the city gate immediately lowered the drawbridge.

Li Hu also led his soldiers to open the city gates.

The original city gate was blown up by them; the current city gate is new.

Just as the crossbeams blocking the city gate were removed, a fierce gust of wind rushed in, smashing the gate open and knocking down many soldiers.

The people who were stuck at the city gate were also blown back by the strong wind.

Nangong Wu's face turned cold; if things continued like this, it would be really dangerous.

"Little sister, I'll go out with you." Nangong Xiao came over and took her hand.

They knew that only if she got out could they find a solution.
