Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Rescue Video, Cyber Kitten

"Captain Brooks! It’s bad! The upstream dam broke! A flood! A massive flood is rushing down! We don’t have time to evacuate!"

A young soldier, his face still showing a hint of boyishness, pointed at the roaring flood crest in the distance, which looked like a yellow city wall. His voice cracked with fear.

Justin Brooks had just lifted an elderly man with mobility issues onto the last, jam-packed lifeboat when he heard the shout and whipped his head around.

His pupils contracted as he watched the turbid, colossal waves bearing down on them with the force of a landslide.

There wasn’t enough time for everyone to evacuate!

He made an instant decision, roaring at the young soldier, "Lowe! Get the lifeboat to high ground, now! Go! Don’t look back!"

"Captain Brooks! What about you?!" Lowe yelled, his voice laced with anxiety.

"Follow orders! I’ll figure something out!" Justin Brooks’s tone was decisive and left no room for argument.

After speaking, he turned and, against the current, resolutely charged toward the surging flood!

The people on the lifeboat watched, stunned, wondering what this soldier was about to do.

Justin Brooks walked to the very edge of the flood’s path. Facing the monstrous waves, he took a deep breath and swung his arm.

The next moment, something happened that no one would ever forget.

The ground began to tremble violently!

With a tremendous RUMBLE, thick, rough, yet incredibly solid rock walls shot up from the ground, bursting through the water’s surface like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!

They connected and reinforced one another, forming an incredibly sturdy rock dam tens of meters long in the blink of an eye!

It was Justin Brooks’s Ability: [Wall].

BOOM!!!

The terrifying crest of the flood slammed into the rock dam with a deafening crash. The water was forcibly blocked and diverted, but the dam stood firm, unmoving!

The people on the lifeboat, having narrowly escaped death, stared dumbfounded, as if witnessing a miracle!

In the crowd, a rescued middle schooler subconsciously raised a phone that still worked and clearly recorded the entire event: Justin Brooks raising the Stone Wall with a wave of his hand to block the torrent.

Driven by the thrill of survival and the shock of witnessing supernatural power, he instinctively uploaded the video to the internet.

The title was simple: [SHOCKING! Flood Hits, Official Player Takes Action, Absolutely Shocking On-Site Footage!]

At first, the video could be mistaken for a touching scene of flood relief efforts.

But when the footage of the Stone Wall rising from thin air appeared, the entire internet exploded again!

[HOLY SHIT?! What is this?! Special effects?!]

[It’s real! I was on a rescue boat nearby! I saw it with my own eyes! The officer just waved his hand, and a stone wall popped up!]

[A Player! That’s definitely a Player! And it’s the power of an official Player!]

[The government totally knew all along! And there are already Players working for the country!]

[So cool! That Ability is so practical! This is how an Ability should be used!]

[Respect! That’s a true hero!]

The video spread like a virus, not only showcasing the might of a Player’s Ability but also sending a powerful message.

The government wasn’t just acknowledging the existence of Players; it was already effectively organizing and utilizing this power to protect order and public safety.

This undoubtedly served as a shot in the arm for the panicked public, causing more people to re-evaluate the "Player" community and the government’s conscription order.

Seraphina Sullivan saw the video too. She stared at the steady figure and the rising Stone Wall on her screen, silent for a long time.

’Times have really changed.’
