Chapter 556: Birdsong in the North

The rain was pouring down. At this moment, the whole people in the city can be said to be mobilized, and many people have spontaneously participated in the flood relief action.

This is a rather unusual scene, which is basically invisible on the streets in most areas, and people mostly stay in safe places. On the other hand, the city relies on high-end drainage construction technology. There is no flooding in the city. Therefore, at this moment, the streets of the Imperial Underworld City were full of people, and they were all quite orderly, and they seemed to have been battle-hardened, and they were rushing in different directions.

There was no stagnant water in the city, but outside the walls of the city, there was a flood that had already accumulated more than ten meters high. And just because there is no water in the city now doesn't mean it won't be in the future. Now we must race against time to prepare for the defense, and we must not let the flood flood over the city walls!

The method of the city against flooding is to use the pan-like topography and the principle of water buckets to increase the height of the city wall and the height of the east, west, and north sides of the pan terrain outside, so that all the floods will gush out from the south.

In fact, the Imperial Underworld has long been working to permanently increase the height of the city wall and the east, west, and north sides of the outside, but for a large city of the size of the Imperial Underworld, even if the height of the city wall is increased by one meter, then the manpower, material resources and time required are quite a lot. What's more, the Imperial City is now a large city with tens of millions of people, rather than a defensive fortress that has been prepared for war all year round. The entire city wall, which is so high that it can cover the sky and the sun, will definitely have an impact on the inhabitants living in the city.

One of the most critical problems is the lack of time. If you increase the height of the city wall based on the average time it takes to cause a flood, the next flood will come before it is finished. At that time, those semi-finished products will only become an obstacle to disaster relief. Unless... The Spirit Phoenix Kingdom can send emperor-level wood attribute and dust attribute powerhouses to raise the city walls, but there is no such existence in the Spirit Phoenix Kingdom. And even if there is, let two emperor-level existences participate in civil engineering, even the Linghuang Kingdom, the number one country in the Linghuang Realm, will not have so much face.

In addition, the city wall is easy to make, but the overall height of the terrain in the east, west and north outside is not so easy to change. Of course, if you hit the height down, then you can do it in one day. But if you want to rise, there is really no change in the past ten years.

So in desperation, the city had to wait for the flood to come again and again in the past few decades, and then fight the flood and provide disaster relief. Since there is no way to solve it once and for all, we have to work flood relief and disaster relief. Over the past few decades, the city's flood relief operations have been continuously updated and improved, and there are many implementation plans according to the scale of the flood, in order to control the flood with the highest efficiency under any circumstances.

And this time, according to the customized scale standard. Pretty big.

However, this time the heavy rain was quite severe for the residents of the Imperial Underworld and the disaster relief teams that rushed over from several other neighboring cities. However, it was not worth mentioning at all for the training recruits who had just come out of the training barracks, but it also gave them a comfortable feeling.

Upon reaching the Flame Tower, a massive tower that stood on the edge of the eastern part of the city, the training recruits had already seen hundreds of people performing their duties on the walls in front of the tower. People with water attributes hold up huge water barriers to protect people from the rain. People with light attributes are constantly flashing with light around their bodies, consuming their own yuan power to improve everyone's physical strength. There were also many more people, carrying sandbags up and down the city walls, piling up the most solid and important defensive lines.

Looking at the scene in front of them, the training recruits already knew what they were going to do. No matter what their attributes are, they all ran to carry sandbags. They are all elemental envoys, and those who rely on the technology of Yuan Li to work, even if they have the right attributes, they can't help much. But carrying sandbags is a job that purely depends on physical fitness, and they can definitely do it well!

"Rush rush rush! If you can't carry ten at a time, you will lose!"

In the midst of a loud roar and howl, one hundred and thirty men seemed to completely ignore the pouring rain and the slippery ground, and each of them stepped onto the city wall with no less than ten bags of sand.

The joining of the training recruits immediately made the hundreds of people present who were in the process of disaster relief feel a burst of encouragement. At such a moment, the sudden appearance of such a large number of reinforcements will indeed give new strength to the people who were already holding on.

At this moment, Jun Lin's body covered by military uniforms was already covered with a trace of black gas. With a steady stream of power, Jun Lin carried five bags of sandbags on his left and right shoulders and jumped onto the city wall through the temporarily built stairs in three or two steps, and after placing the sandbags, he jumped directly from the sixty-meter-high city wall, and after rolling forward smoothly and unloading the force, he ran and carried ten bags of sandbags and jumped onto the city wall in two or three steps. Then they jump straight down from the city walls, and so on.

Jun Lin's behavior is not inconspicuous. Although it was no surprise to the training recruits, to the hundreds of other local disaster relief personnel in the Imperial Underworld who had seen this for the first time, Jun Lin's behavior was maddening!

Jumping from a sixty-metre-high wall, they certainly won't die. But like Junlin, they admit that they can't do it. One is that I didn't have that kind of special training, and I didn't have that skill. Second, I don't have the guts.

Most of their cultivation is between the Elemental Guard and the Elemental Spirit, at a height of sixty meters, if you don't pay attention to protection. That's also going to hurt, and the point is: no matter what unloading technique is used, it's impossible to fall from a 60-meter-high wall to the ground without pain. It's okay to jump once in a while, but if you want to jump every few seconds like Junlin, it's really unbearable.

And this kind of behavior, only Junlin is doing it alone. Although the other recruits wanted to be as efficient as Junlin, they were no longer as blind and arrogant as they used to be. They are very aware of their physical condition and limits, and there is no problem with Junlin in a short period of time. But it won't be long before I'll have to lie down and rest. They don't have the perverted physical fitness of Junlin, so they won't force it. After all, now is not the time to compete for the limelight, what they have to do is to fight until the last moment. Carry it all the time, carry it all the time. Anyway, walking the stairs is not much slower than jumping directly, they just come at their own pace.

。。。

More than an hour later, when Jun Lin didn't know how many times he jumped onto the city wall with a sandbag on his shoulder. A sturdy, short, dark-skinned middle-aged man took the initiative to greet Jun Lin with a smile: "Young man, your bones are amazing! How about I move bricks at the construction site in the future? I will definitely make a lot of money!"

Jun Lin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, but soon he scratched his head and smiled: "Hmm... Thanks, I have a job. When you don't go into the army in the future, you will go back to your old job!"

"Haha! It's okay! I'll just talk about it! But seeing that your grade is not too old, you can come out to work and make money by yourself at a young age, which is good!"

The dark-skinned middle-aged man should have thought that the work Jun Lin was talking about meant the kind of temporary work that the academy students worked on weekends to earn pocket money, and Jun Lin was also happy that the other party misunderstood and did not say the fact that his old profession was a mercenary. After responding with a smile, Jun Lin jumped down again.

"Chirp~!"

However, at this moment, a burst of birdsong sounded more and more clearly from the northern sky not far away.

Due to the heavy rainfall, the propagation of sound has been severely affected. As a result, birdsong, which could have been faintly heard thousands of meters away, can now be heard within a kilometer.

This birdsong, which suddenly appeared and sounded more and more clear, instantly attracted the attention of many people present, and Jun Lin, who was in the process of falling, also subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the source of the sound.

And it was this glance that made Jun Lin's face, who was still with a faint smile on his face that had not dissipated, change instantly.

"Smack!"

The next moment, Jun Lin fell to the ground in free fall.
