Chapter 33: Safety First!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as Bruce got home, he thought of a question.
‘Since so many people like me, why not start doing live broadcasts on the internet?!’
‘Since I have nothing to do every day.’
‘I might as well live broadcast and ask them to not reward me with monetary gifts.’
‘Whenever they request something along the lines of asking me to leave the house, it will be regarded as a house-leaving crisis.’
‘The title of the live broadcast will be Can You Get Me to Leave the House?’
‘A title like this would definitely attract a large number of people to ask all sorts of questions.’
‘But would the system recognize this as a crisis?’
“System, if I start a live broadcast and the viewers try to get me leave the house, would it be considered as a house-leaving crisis?”
“Answer, it doesn’t count. This counts as cheating. Please don’t think about such a question.”
‘F*ck!’
‘So it doesn’t count!
It doesn’t count, then whatever. Moreover, since it’s considered as cheating, he felt uncomfortable.
It seemed physical interactions were the only way to accumulate points.
Bruce didn’t give it much thought, he began taping up the the doors and windows.
‘Well, whatever it was, safety first!’
Ding!
Annie sent him a text message at this very moment.
“Bruce, there’s a tornado coming soon. You have to be careful. I heard from the neighbors that you’re still living in that apartment building, right? Why don’t you move out? I’m so worried about you.”
‘This girl seems to be texting me while she’s in class.’
Otherwise, she would have given him a call long ago.
“It’s okay, don’t worry. I’ve already taken all of the preventative measure needed. How’s the school?”
The two of them were actually texting and calling on a daily basis.
Annie still had a lot of school work to complete, so Bruce told her to study hard.
After all, the sooner she mastered her school materials, the easier it would be for her to graduate.
Then, Bruce would be able to see her often. This was a critical moment, he hoped that Annie could focus on what is important.
Everything now was for the future.
“Our school is already breaking us up into teams to enter the storm shelter. This time’s tornado an EF4 tornado, it’s so terrifying. Apparently, this is the first time it’s happening within the past ten years or so. Moreover, there’s a possibility that it’ll become an EF5 tornado, so the building is really unsafe. Are you sure you’re safe?!”
Annie expressed her concern once again. Bruce smiled faintly, he did not expect her to be this worried about him.
She really was too worried about him.
“I’ll be fine, don’t worry, focus in class. We’ll chat when you’re done”
After chatting for a while, Bruce continued his work.
..
On the other side.
Aurora’s eyes were solemn.
“You’re telling me that the news says that the tornado will be an EF5?!”
“In other words, he’s the strongest tornado?!”
Aurora looked at the community worker beside her and asked.
“Yes, that’s right. Everyone in the city has to evacuate to the storm shelter.”
“The community center has to evacuate the residents as soon as possible.”
The community worker nodded and said.
“This is bad. You guys continue to work, hurry up and get ready.”
Aurora followed them and began to work.
Even though she was sitting, she was filled with anxiety.
She was very worried about Bruce.
She had already predicted that he wouldn’t want to move out.
He wouldn’t leave, even if the tornado whisked the entire building away.
Although Aurora didn’t know the Bruce’s reason for not leaving, staying here wasn’t a solution.
But how could she get Bruce to walk out of the apartment building and enter the storm shelter? Aurora had yet to figure this out.
..
He had just glued the window shut.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Somebody was knocking on Bruce’s door again!
It was Aurora. Bruce could see from her eyes that she was anxious.
“You’re here early, aren’t you still busy with work?”
Aurora was out of breath when she finished her sentence. She pulled Bruce’s hand and began leaving, “Let’s go! Huff— Huff— Let’s go! The tornado is stronger than expected, it’s faster than before and it’s arriving in an hour.”
“We have to get… Huff— Huff— To the shelter in an hour or it’ll be too late.”
Bruce saw the worry on Aurora’s face. It was merely a normal human emotion, but it was written so clearly on her face.
This matter was clearly really dangerous. If he didn’t take refuge as soon as possible, there might really be a problem.
But Aurora’s current state wasn’t strong enough to drag Bruce out of the house.
She immediately fell into Bruce’s arms.
“I won’t leave the house. I’m not worried about tornadoes at all. You should go to the storm shelter.”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point reward!”
Bruce smiled. Getting him to leave the house to take cover from a tornado was undoubtedly suicide, even though the tornado might pass very quickly.
‘But what if?!’
A tornado’s path has always been difficult to predict. Even if the general direction could be detected, no one knew how long it would stay in one place.
Hypothetically speaking, if Bruce were to seek refuge, the tornado would wreak havoc above the storm shelter and leave after five hours, then Bruce would have already been killed by the system.
‘At least the house is still considered as a location that was set by the system. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll just points to redeem skills that could help.’
This was very easy to understand.
“No, the tornado this time is different from the ones in the past. The tornado had passed a stone forest, all that’s left is gravel. Do you know what this means? !”
“The tornado is like a meat grinder. Everywhere it passes, nothing is left alive. Please don’t try to be brave, leave with me.”
Bruce shook his head. “You can go, or you can stay.”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for overcoming the danger of an F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point rewarded!”
An EF5 tornado that has stones.
This type of tornado was very scary, especially when the stones were acting on centrifugal force. They would accelerate and rotate, every single one of them would act like a bullet and even turn into a small cannonball!
Even a house might not withstand such powerful winds.
However, Bruce would not back down, especially on this matter.
He had a premonition that this would be a C-rank house-leaving crisis. As long as he gets through it, it would be a easy to earn points.
“Since you’re not leaving, I won’t leave either,” Aurora said firmly when she heard this.
“You must protect me well.”
Bruce smiled and nodded at Aurora’s trusting expression.
