Chapter 620: Chapter 619: Surviving another earthquake and tsunami 3

While they were on land, the plant energy that he could absorb while fighting and growing plants was enough to replenish his energy loss, which was why he could continue using his powers without having to rely on absorbing zombie crystals.

Now that they were on the sea, plant energy was scarce, so he had to keep absorbing zombie crystals to replenish the energy that he was using.

Nathan could only nod as they could feel the shaking again, aside from the waves that were pulling them. The aftershocks had obviously begun, and the shaking was still very strong.

After the aftershock, they could feel that the waves that were pulling them back to the sea began moving to the shore again.

Their box was slammed again and again by the waves and the water currents, so he still did what he did before and kept growing more vines when some parts of the box were torn off.

He kept competing with the violent water that kept damaging the vines. The damage was even more violent than the first wave, so it seemed that the current wave was stronger.

After a while, they felt their box being slammed onto a hard surface. The kids couldn’t help but exclaim because the impact still hurt very much. Luciel also felt the pain, but he didn’t bother with it and immediately grew more vines that could dig through or hold onto where they had been slammed so that they wouldn’t be carried by the water again.

He also quickly controlled the vines to open a small opening for him so that he could clearly see if they were indeed at the shore. He immediately saw that they had indeed been carried onto the shore, and the water that had carried them in was already beginning to recede, so he further reinforced the box to the things around them so that they wouldn’t be carried by the water back into the sea.

"We’ve really reached the shore. Carry the younger kids and let’s run up," Luciel quickly said.

They only have Sophie, Ashlee, Nash, and Lisa so it’s easy to carry them. As for Theo he had been carried by Liam before as they were apparently still helping with the packing of their food from Richard and the others.

So, only the four younger kids were with them, which is easy for them to carry as they have Camille, Nathan, Nate, Jacob, and most of the older kids.

Then he looked at Astrid and the others, who had pale faces from the repeated movement of their box, and said, "You guys can still run, right?"

They all nodded seriously.

"Okay, then, let’s go," Luciel said and immediately removed all the vines that were securing them.

When Nathan and the others had already carried the younger kids, Luciel opened the vine box and they all started running up the shore, as there was certainly still the next high wave and more aftershocks coming, so they needed to move as fast as they could.

Nate led them, followed by the others, as Nate was the one who had the wind ability and could certainly detect things and see where they could go.

As for him, he stayed at the end but also didn’t forget to watch ahead, just in case they encountered something that Nate hadn’t sensed or couldn’t prevent even if he had already sensed it.

Nate ran in front, and he obviously sensed a good place where they could stay, as he ran in one direction without any hesitation while carrying Lisa.

But while they were running up, there was another strong aftershock, so they had to stop. When it stopped, they still continued going up because they could see that another big wave was already coming.

They continued running through the buildings that were nearby, and they only stopped when they reached a higher place that had a very large lawn, which was indeed a perfect place for them to stay.

They had also seen other places large enough for them to stay, but unfortunately, those were still in the lower areas and could still be reached by water, so they continued going upwards until the place that Nate had stopped at.

"Is this place okay?" Nate asked while looking at him.

"Yes, you’ve really found a good place," Luciel answered and then continued looking around.

The place was very large and it only had a small villa at the side with its very wide lawn, so the place was probably a venue where they often held outdoor events. However, it was obvious that no one had used it for a long time already because the grass on the lawn had also grown very well.

Some parts of the villa were already broken by the recent earthquake, so it was not a suitable place to live in anymore. However, even if it wasn’t broken, they still couldn’t stay in it as there were still probably going to be some aftershocks, since the earthquake was very strong.

All the kids still had pale faces, and Astrid and the others were still sweating and were obviously very tired, as they had continued running all the way to where they were.

They had already trained very hard, so such a distance wasn’t much for them, but they had been shaken greatly by the earthquake, then thrown up and down, side to side, over and over again because of the violent waves.

They were also thrown very hard at the end, and they certainly hadn’t recovered from the impact yet before they continued running uphill.

As soon as they stopped, the younger kids clamored to be put down, then all of them ran a bit to the side and threw up. It seemed that they had all been holding it back because they didn’t want to delay them, so they all threw up.

"Oh, no. Who still has some water? All of us need to be hydrated," Camille said while assisting Sophie.
