Before Li Huan's words fell, he saw the old butler hurriedly pushing the door in, "The eye of the wind is here, we are now in the eye of the wind, and "Zeus" has officially landed. ”

Yu Ting asked puzzledly, "What is the eye of the storm, and how can this still happen in such a strong hurricane?"

Li Huan stuffed the less half piece of bread in his hand into his mouth, and after taking a sip of water, he explained while gesturing: "You should know that the hurricane is in a rotational shape, right?"

Yu Ting nodded.

"Hurricanes, or hurricanes, are tropical cyclones, and tropical cyclones rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Li Huan gestured a counterclockwise circle, "In the process of rotating a tropical cyclone, a hole will be created in the center, and in this hole, except for the air pressure is much lower than outside, the weather in other aspects is very stable." This hole, the eye of the tropical cyclone, is like the center of a whirlpool. ”

"Oh, I see. In the past, when I looked at the weather forecast, I could often see a black dot in the center of those hurricanes or tropical storms, and that black dot was the eye of the storm, right?"

"Quite right. Li Huan nodded with satisfaction, "The eye of a tropical storm is roughly a circle, usually between a few kilometers and kilometers in diameter, and it is surrounded by an eyewall, which is also called an eyewall by some people, which is a ring-shaped area of intense thunderstorms, and the eyewall is the most harsh climate in a tropical cyclone." The eye of the storm, surrounded by the eyewall, is the most stable area in the entire tropical cyclone. We are now in the eye of Zeus!"

As a super hurricane, the radius of the 13-level wind circle of "Zeus" is as high as more than 100 kilometers, so at about 1 o'clock at noon, more than five hours after the 13-level wind circle made landfall, "Zeus", which had been moving in a north-northwesterly direction, finally made landfall on the island of Catanduanes.

Now, the eye of the super hurricane "Zeus" is hanging over Li Huan's head.

"Li Huan, can we go out and have a look? The diameter of this eye of the storm is so large, even if the eye of the storm passes, it will take at least more than an hour, right?

Yu Ting's words made Li Huan a little tempted, to be honest, he had never seen what a hurricane eye looked like, and now he finally had a chance to see the scenery in the eye of a hurricane, and if he went out to brag with his buddies in the future, he could blow it for several years. And in fact, if you encounter a hurricane, if you don't have time to take shelter or escape, then it's best to follow the eye of the storm. In a hurricane, the eye of the storm is the safest. It's basically impossible though, unless you have a helicopter dedicated to avoiding risk. Because hurricanes of this magnitude move at speeds of 2 to 300 kilometers per hour, there is no way to avoid them on the ground.

Unless, like Li Huan and them, they stick to the villa, believing that this villa can withstand the hurricane, and after being swept by the outer wind circle, they will enter the eye of the hurricane on their own. In fact, the hurricane is only as strong as the peripheral wind, and when it really enters the eye of the storm, there is no wind at all, which is that everything in nature has its own rules.

As soon as Yu Ting said this, even Liu Qianhuan, who had been leaning against the window, was moved, he had never seen this kind of scene either, a pair of eyes looked at Li Huan eager to try, as long as Li Huan dared to speak, he dared to go out to see. Of course, if Li Huan didn't open his mouth, he wouldn't dare to go out if he gave Liu Qianhuan 10,000 guts. First of all, his experience in judging these natural climates is almost equal to or even less than zero, playing in the eye of "Zeus" is equivalent to dancing on the tip of a knife, if you dance the right step and step on the right position, then there is no problem and you can still survive, if you step on the wrong position, then there is no other result except for the difference in the head. This is not alarmism. Any slight mistake in Zeus's wind circle will lead to a different head, and it cannot be worse than a different head - for example, once encountered or swept into the outer wind circle, that kind of wind can tear a person apart.

The second one, that is naturally because he feels safe to follow Pear Blossom, although he also thinks that even if Li Huan is capable, there is no way to compare it with a 17-level hurricane, but curiosity is the instinct of human progress, Liu Qianhuan feels that if he sees the scene inside the hurricane, then he will have a lot less regrets in his life. Following Li Huan is undoubtedly the best choice when everyone has no confidence and protects themselves - Li Huan naturally can't take a look at the level 17 hurricane, but if he is there, Liu Qianhuan will feel a lot more comforted.

was looked at by Yu Ting and Liu Qianhuan, and Li Huan's heart was also moved.

In the past, Li Huan watched a documentary called Storm Catcher, which tells the story of several Citi people chasing tornadoes on the plains in their cars. The nearest tornado was less than 300 meters away from them, and the magnificence and power of the tornado at that time gave Li Huan a deep shock. But those storms were small storms, a tornado that could be chased by a car, at best, six or seven magnitudes. And what is the situation now, perhaps the most extreme storm in the history of the Philippines, the arrival of "Zeus" up to 17 magnitude, which is not something that can be seen casually!

And Li Huan also has a rod and scale in his heart, in fact, chasing the storm is not necessarily so dangerous, as long as he keeps his position in the eye of the storm circle, there is nothing to fear.

"Okay, isn't it just going out! What's this? Let's go out and have a look, anyway, the main door of the villa is sealed from the inside, just move the things that block the main door." Li Huan's heart moved: "But you still have to be careful, and let's not go from the first floor, go to the garden through the back door, just a few of us to take a look, if there is really anything I can take care of you, if the crew hears that we are going out to see the storm, and they think that there is no danger at all and they want to go out with us, then it will be troublesome." Let's be careful, don't let them know, watch for a while and come back immediately, it won't take much time for the eye of the storm to pass by the island. ”

Seeing that Li Huan agreed, Yu Ting and Liu Qianhuan, who were already going crazy, happily agreed, and under the leadership of the old housekeeper, they went to the back door, and after removing the few large pieces of furniture that were blocked in the back door in order to prevent the storm from overturning the door, they could finally get out of this villa after holding back in the house all day.

"It's so beautiful......" Yu Ting sighed as soon as she stepped out of the room, and then looked at the horizon with a fascination on her face.

The scenery outside was unbelievable - if it weren't for the distant black clouds and rumbling thunder still reminding them that this was actually the eye of a super hurricane, no one would have believed that it was still a raging storm just a few minutes ago. The sun was sinking in the west, and the whole sky was a golden yellow, and although the mountain was still in shambles, the scenery in the mountains was really nothing.

A huge wind circle is slowly moving to the northwest, and here you can clearly see the thunder and lightning in the eyewall only a kilometer or two away, and the rumbling thunder is like the roar of countless cannons. Turning his head to look in the southeast direction, as far as the eye can see, he can vaguely see the eyewall on the other side, and in that distant position, you can still see the thunder and light. It is said that the eyewall is the area with the worst climate in a hurricane, and this sentence is indeed true.

Compared with the eye wall of thunder and lightning, the eye of the wind is Chinese quiet like a little girl, there is no wind here, the air is extremely clear and fresh, and the visibility is at least dozens of kilometers - After the huge storm raged, it seemed to sweep away all the dust in this world, and returned to the brightness of the beginning of the opening of the world, this scene had to make everyone admire, this nature is really magical and irreparable, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would have thought that in the center of the most terrifying hurricane, there would be such an area that can be called a paradise.

At first, he was still trembling in the villa, thinking that Li Huan was the old housekeeper who was going to die, and when he saw the orange sunlight projected in after opening the door, he hesitated for a moment, and followed Li Huan and them out—and then naturally let out that familiar exclamation. Hearing the old butler's exclamation, the servants all came out, and one by one they were all intoxicated by this beauty.

The Mayon Volcano in the west is already outside the eye of the storm at this time, so you can't see the situation of the Mayon Volcano at this time from here. But judging from such fresh air, it is clear that Mayon Volcano has been completely tamed by "Zeus".

"Brother Huan, this eye is so clean, it really deserves to be the eye of a super hurricane. If it were a hurricane-level tropical cyclone, the eye of the storm would not be so clean, and a tropical storm would not even be able to form the eye of the storm, right?" Liu Qianhuan said with emotion on the side.

Li Huan nodded, "Yes, that's what is wrong."

Super hurricanes can form such a clean and stable eye, and a weak tropical cyclone really can't form such a good eye. ”

The eye of the storm is a very stable meteorological structure, so the formation of the eye of the storm requires great energy. A tropical cyclone will only produce an eye when it reaches the level of a hurricane, and if the tropical cyclone is not sufficient, the energy in the cyclone will not be able to maintain a stable eye of the storm. And the higher the level of the hurricane, the more stable the eye of the storm, and the more stable the climate in the eye of the storm. It's like the eye of "Zeus", the weather in the eye of the wind is a mess, except for the low air pressure, there is no wind and a sunny day here.

It is a strong weather system that is issued over the tropical oceans, initially increasing gradually from the periphery to the center, then rapidly increasing, but in the central area with a diameter of tens of kilometers, the wind quickly decreases, the rain stops, and a cloudy sky with sunlight during the day and stars visible at night.

Of course, some people will also judge the level of a hurricane based on the size of the eye of the storm, and many people say that the larger the eye of the storm, the lower the hurricane level, and vice versa, the higher the hurricane level. It is also known as "big eyes and small wind, small eyes and big wind". In fact, this statement is not true, at least there is no definite scientific evidence to prove it. Generally speaking, the diameter of the eye of a hurricane is about forty or fifty kilometers, but this does not mean that the smaller the eye is, the higher the level of the hurricane. For example, in 2005, the No. 14 super hurricane color butterfly, the level of that hurricane was also as high as 16, not much worse than the current "Zeus", but the diameter of the eye of the color butterfly is as high as 100 kilometers.

And the eye of the "Zeus" in front of him must have a diameter of at least 40 kilometers, which is actually not small, at least it is about the same as the eye of an ordinary hurricane. This is enough to prove that it is not the smaller the eye of the storm, the higher the hurricane level. The eye of the 40-kilometer storm, calculated by the speed of "Zeus", would have taken at least an hour before it would be shrouded by the eyewall on the other side. In other words, everyone can enjoy at least an hour of tranquility.

However, after enjoying the beautiful scenery for a while, Li Huan suddenly saw several red and white roofs in the woods below the mountain, which seemed to be villas hidden in the jungle.

"Is there a villa over there, are there any residents?" Li Huan looked at a looming villa hidden in the forest not far away and asked the old housekeeper, "Will they have food stored over there?"

"Well, they haven't come yet, but I've seen them delivering supplies to the villa lately, so maybe the master is coming. But in the last few days, it feels like no one, maybe the owner knows that the storm is coming, and they have changed their itinerary, which is also lucky. The old butler said: "Moreover, the last few kilometers to these villas are private roads, and they are not mixed, I don't know." ”

"Well, let's go over there. Li Huan said.

Great, if there are supplies to be delivered, and the owner doesn't come, there must still be food in storage. Li Huan was ready to leave for the rich villa to have a look. The food stored in the villa is the most important thing, and the influence of "Zeus" will completely dissipate, at least forty hours, plus the impact of the submarine earthquake, even if the plane is dispatched, it will take a lot of time. Originally, Li Huan wanted to wait for the hurricane to pass before going out to look for food, so it was better to take advantage of this rare tranquility to go out and look for some food. After all, in this case, only when you have food in your hand can you not panic.

Because when a hurricane comes, it often brings a terrifying hurricane wave, and once the hurricane wave comes, it may blow all the doors and windows that have not been reinforced, or have not been closed, so that the hurricane will pour into the room with torrential rain, turning the room into a world of water, and in this way, all the food stored in it will be destroyed. If you want to find a real thing, this is a good opportunity to quickly go down and gather food and fresh water while the storm circle has not yet passed, when the storm is calm in the eye of the storm.

"Boss, how many cars do we use?" A set guard asked Li Huan, now that they have completely figured out the level of the crew, before Li Huan came, it was Yu Ting who had the final say, and Li Huan came, that is, Li Huan had the final say - look at Yu Ting's appearance of a bird, if anyone can still not understand this matter, it is stupid.

"Well, with three cars, two people in one car. Li Huan gave the answer after a little thought, and then he shook his head and said: "I just don't know if the way down the mountain can still be walked, if not, we can only wait for the hurricane to pass before we can go out to look for food." ”

"Boss I don't think it's a big problem. When we first came here, the small road was not damaged by the earthquake, and as for the tsunami that followed, I think that when we got here, I guess the impact force was not too big, and the road should not be a big problem. ”

Li Huan shook his head again and waved his hand, "Let's go, time is limited, let's not guess here." Yu Ting, you can have a car with me. Yu Ting sat in the co-pilot seat with a smile and fastened her seat belt, "Li Huan, where are we going?"

"Are you going too?" Li Huan was stunned: "It's safe in the villa." ”

"Why don't I go, it's safe to stay with you. "Yu Ting is now completely free of herself.

Li Huan smiled helplessly, started the car, and said as he drove out: "When we came up here, didn't we pass by a small intersection on the road? There is a small road leading to other places, I estimate that there should be a similar holiday villa at the end of that small road, let's go there and have a look." ”

The trail down the mountain was not much damaged, but after a kilometer or two, you can see clear traces of sea water on the road, and some seaweed is still hanging on the branches of trees uprooted by the hurricane on the side of the road, and even after two days of heavy rain, the seaweed has not been washed away by the rain. The car quickly reached the intersection, turned left, and continued along the trail up the mountain. This bifurcated small road is also on an upward trend on the whole, which makes Li Huan somewhat relieved, with the climbing trend of the highway, if there is really a holiday villa at the end of the road, it is estimated that the tsunami will not be able to hit that height.

The road was not very long, and after about two kilometers of winding walk, a villa no smaller than the one served by the old butler came into view.

This villa is not a modern building, and the overall style leans more towards the Middle Ages. Li Huan looked at it, if he saw this style of building in China, Li Huan would not hesitate to think that it was a modern antique building. But if you see this kind of building in the Philippines, it must be a building left over from the past, and the shape of this building tends to be in the late Middle Ages, that is, around 1700, when the Portuguese drove a horse-drawn carriage on the sea in this area, maybe it was left by a Portuguese nobleman.

What reassured Li Huan was that although this villa was hit by the tsunami, it benefited from its medieval solid construction method of integral stones, but the walls of the villa fell several times, of course, the doors and windows of the villa were broken a lot, especially the windows, which were almost incomplete, which was obviously also the masterpiece of "Zeus".

Li Huan pressed the horn, but no one came out inside, which made Li Huan a little surprised.

"It's definitely gone. A set guard got out of the car with a big grin, and was about to step forward, but he didn't expect Li Huan to pull him back.

"Don't go, there's something wrong here...... I just saw what seemed to be someone in the room on the third floor of the villa. Li Huan pondered for a while: "Leave a few people to protect Yu Ting, just come and follow me alone...... You, you're all right, what's your name?"

"Boss, my name is Marcus!" said one of the men, who looked tougher than the others, and was apparently the leader of the guards.

"Well, Marcus, you follow me, let's go see. Li Huan said.

Marcus They parked the two cars in front of Li Huan's car, and after completely blocking the car, several people trotted over with guns, Marcus approached the cab and whispered: "Boss, something is not right here, I just saw that there seems to be a figure flashing in the room on the third floor of the villa, there are people here." You and Sophia don't get out of the car yet, let's see what's going on. ”

Marcus nodded, pulling the bolt to load the gun.

Li Huan had actually confirmed that there were people in the house when he said this—because he released his spiritual power to sense, there were indeed people in the house, and there was more than one. But I don't know if the other party is friend or foe, although the other party doesn't reply to their words, but in the face of this kind of super storm, everyone is in danger. It's normal not to reply to their words - to say something unpleasant, if the other person is very enthusiastic

opened the door and invited Li Huan to come in and sit down, then Li Huan felt that there was something wrong with it.

Li Huan judged and confirmed that there were still people in the villa, but he didn't know why he didn't answer their words, he groaned for a while, walked to the big iron gate, hid his figure behind the wall that had not been broken, and shouted: "Is there anyone inside? We are from the villa next door, I just want to come over and see if there is anything you need help here." ”

Li Huan shouted twice in a row, but there was no movement inside, it was obvious that the people inside either didn't want to contact Li Huan and them, or they had other hidden secrets. The previous reasons can be directly removed, and in the face of such natural disasters, people are eager to hold together. And Li Huan also explained his identity, although it was fake, but at least he did not show malicious intent, in this case, the people in this villa should come out to meet Li Huan.

But there is no movement at all, which can only be said to be a problem with this villa.

Li Huan understood now, there must be something wrong in the villa, he made a tactical gesture at Marcus, Marcus nodded, bent over with his gun and retreated into the jungle behind, obviously looking for a place to do fire support. And Li Huan tidied up the body armor on his body, and then rushed down the muzzle of the gun and stood up, to show that there was no hostility - although Li Huan was not afraid of bullets at all, he didn't want to go up and get a shot in vain! Non-fluid skin can resist bullets, but it also hurts!

"I see there's someone inside, whatever the reason, please come out and meet me, or I'll come in and see what's going on inside. Li Huan pointed the muzzle of the gun down and said loudly.

This sentence was also said twice in a row, but there was still no one answering inside, so Li Huan walked slowly inside. But just as he stepped over the collapsed wall, a figure suddenly appeared from a window on the third floor, with a shotgun in his hand.

"Bang......" No one thought that this guy would shoot a warning without saying a word. The sound of this shotgun is far greater than the sound of a rifle, but fortunately, this guy seems to understand something, and he didn't shoot at Li Huan, but shot at the sky.

Li Huan's eyes narrowed slightly, stopped, and raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent. But the guy on the third floor ignored Li Huan, but shouted a little hysterically: "Don't come here, if you take another step forward, I will shoot!"

Something is wrong, this guy is very wrong!

"I'll go in and take a look, you protect Miss Yu. Li Huan thought for a while and said.

"Boss, you go in, you still stay to protect Miss Yu, let's just go in!" Marcus hurriedly stood up from the grass and waved at his partners: "Boss, we are the bodyguards of the crew, and these things should have been done by us." There's obviously something wrong with the people in this house, and you're bound to be in danger if you just go in like that, so let's go in first and explore the way and see what's going on inside. If it's safe inside, I'll send you another signal, and you can come in with Miss Yu. ”

"The people in here...... Probably ill-intentioned. Li Huan frowned.

"Boss, oh my God, of course they have bad intentions, if they have good intentions, what do you say you hired us for?" Marcus grinned: "Don't worry, we are all very professional bodyguards, and we are all retired from the army." If we deal with some petty thieves, we still have confidence. You and Miss Yu are both noble people, and you shouldn't take risks easily, wait for us to go in first to see what the situation is. If it's not right, it can buy you time. ”

With that, Marcus began to greet his partner.

Li Huan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect these guys to ...... It's quite responsible, thinking of this, Li Huan subconsciously looked at Yu Ting - I didn't expect Yu Ting's vision of finding guards to be so good, that house obviously has a lot of problems, in this case, those who dare to go in first to explore the way must be very loyal to Ting. You must know that Yuting is looking for bodyguards to escort, not fighters, their responsibility is only to protect the safety of the crew, they have no obligation to follow the current situation, bodyguards are the ones who protect VIPs, not follow VIPs to death, in that case, how many lives are not enough.

"You don't have to look at me, the more money you give, the higher your loyalty will be. Yu Ting obviously knew what Li Huan meant when she looked at herself, and she smiled a little proudly: "And there is another problem, you didn't expect it, you stupid." It doesn't matter which of us goes in, if something happens, it's even two people who have an accident together. Then they won't be able to receive the final payment. So the smartest way is for them to go in and investigate, and if there's really something wrong, we have time to escape. Don't look at these people as stupid, but they are smart, and they have long been able to distinguish these interests. ”

"I see. Li Huan smiled bitterly, he thought that the loyal bodyguard was so easy to find, and the operation just now was almost the same as that of Li Ang Rodman, but he didn't expect that Yu Ting gave more money - and he didn't pay the final payment. However, Yu Ting is a regular operation, as if Li Huan directly sent a large amount of cash, it was also a loss that he met a kind person, or that the force he showed shocked everyone, otherwise there is really no shortage of bodyguards in this world to kill their employers and take money and kill them.

Li Huan and Yu Ting are chatting here, and Marcus has already started to arrange over there. He seemed to want to show off his team's abilities in front of the new boss, and he looked at his men and asked, "Can you make this guy incapacitated with one shot?" Don't kill him, it's better not to let him have the ability to move a gun anymore. ”

"Don't worry, boss, I'm the best at this!" The reply was accompanied by a crisp gunshot, and the guy on the third floor immediately howled, and the shotgun fell from the third floor.

Since he did it, Marcus and the others would not stand still and let others slaughter him, he rushed directly towards the main entrance of the villa with his gun, and several guards behind him, like agile leopards, quickly ran out from behind the wall with guns and rushed into the villa in one go.

After more than ten seconds, there was a burst of scolding and scolding from inside the villa, but after a gunshot, all the scolding disappeared. After a few more moments, Marcus's words rang over the radio, "Boss, you can come in, the danger has been lifted." But you'd better not bring Miss Yu in, I'll let someone go out to protect Miss Yu, there's a bit of a situation here...... Damn, these guys should go to hell!"

Li Huan understood what might be going on inside as soon as he heard it, so he looked at Yu Ting. Yu Ting also brought a radio headset, she could naturally hear these communications, so she shrugged her shoulders and said, "I heard that people advised me to eat well, since Marcus said so, then I won't go in." But you'd better hurry, it's been almost twenty minutes. ”

Li Huan nodded, and seeing a person trotting out from inside to stand beside Yu Ting to guard, he walked into the villa quickly.

After walking into the villa, Li Huan saw five black and thin locals squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and there were a few bright knives next to them. And in the corner of the room, the guy who had just appeared from the third floor, blood was coming out of his shoulder, lying on the ground moaning weakly. Obviously, the shot just now directly broke the guy's shoulder blade.

Judging from the dress of these people, they don't look like servants in this luxurious villa, but more like gangsters outside.

Li Huan pouted at the guy who ate the gun, "Get bullets for this guy first to stop the bleeding, otherwise this guy won't live long." ”

"The bullet went straight through his shoulder blade, so you don't need to take it, you just need to stop the bleeding," Marcus said. ”

One of his subordinates muttered something he didn't understand, took out tools and a tourniquet from the first-aid kit he was carrying with him and began to treat this guy, Marcus tilted his head at Li Huan, and Li Huan followed Marcus to another room. Judging from the location, this room should be a servant's room, but when Marcus opened the door and Li Huan saw the scene inside, he almost threw up.

There were six or seven corpses lying in the room, three of the female corpses were completely naked, and the other four male corpses were undoubtedly all killed by slitting their throats.

The corpses were a little stinky, and a swarm of flies were buzzing around them.

"Damn!" Li Huan closed the door and scolded, no wonder Marcus said not to let Yu Ting in, Yu Ting came in and saw this scene, and didn't spit out everything she ate yesterday: "This is what those guys did?"
