Chapter 45: Support from the capital has arrived
When the dam was short of manpower before, there was no time for the earth-type mutants to spare.
Now that a large group of animal-type mutants have joined, the earth-type mutants finally have time to help dig the soil.
The other side.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak.”
“Squeak.”
"Meow."
"What did you say?"
Xu Xinxin looked at the naughty monkey in front of her, scratching his head and talking. After listening to the translation of the little orange cat, her face was full of surprise.
"What do you mean you don't have enough soil?"
So, the soil they just "produced" was stored in advance.
Xu Xinxin had never heard of earth-type mutants, so she wasn't very clear about the piece.
System Xiaojiu has been observing them and explained: "Host, earth-type mutants can "absorb" a certain amount of soil in advance, and then "transform" it when they need it, but the amount is limited. When they use it up, they have to "absorb" it again."
So that's how it is. No wonder Xia Runlin and his team had to wait for the loose soil to be transported before they could use it to fill the seams. It turned out that the soil they had "absorbed" in advance had been used up.
But where does the soil they "absorb" go? Inside their bodies?
Will they drop mud when they take a bath?
"That's not the case," Xiao Jiu continued to explain, "They just have an extra 'subspace' in their bodies to store the soil, instead of storing the soil directly in their bodies."
So that's how it is.
Xu Xinxin decided that when she had time, she would learn more about the abilities of other attributes.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
On the dam, Xia Runlin passed by the gap where Xu Xinxin was, took a look at the water, nodded at her, and quickly went to dig the soil with others.
The earth-type mutant dug the soil very quickly. He squatted down and touched the ground with his hand. A large piece of soil became loose like sand. Then the earth-type mutant raised his hand, and the loose soil "flew" out of the pit and piled on the ground like a small hill.
Ordinary earth-type ability users can only "dig" a five-cubic-meter pit at a time, but when Xia Runlin stretched out his hand, a pit as big as a basketball court instantly appeared in front of him.
With their participation, a large amount of loose soil soon accumulated nearby and was moved to the dam.
Everyone started working enthusiastically.
The cracks on the dam that were about to collapse were glued together again with everyone's cooperation.
Even though the dam still trembles from time to time, everyone feels particularly reassured when they see the small animals swimming in the water and flying in the sky.
"Everyone keep working harder, the dam will stabilize soon!"
"good!"
"come on!"
The slogans of the crowd, mixed with the sound of rain, blended together perfectly.
The sky was clear for a while, then slowly turned cloudy again, dark clouds gathered again, and a drizzle began to fall again.
But the rain now poses no threat at all compared to before.
The dam, which was about to fall apart, gradually became stable.
The people on the dam took turns to rest, and the animals took turns to work, but everyone became increasingly tired, and their efficiency became increasingly lower.
Around five or six in the morning, when everyone couldn't help yawning, support finally arrived from the capital.
In the sky, helicopters one after another, as well as a group of large birds, were rumbling slowly from afar.
A woman in military uniform was sitting on the leading big bird, which landed near the dam first.
The "big bird" and helicopter behind it all stopped.
A large group of people in military uniforms got off planes or big birds.
Someone nearby saw the military uniforms they were wearing and exclaimed in surprise, "Look! Here come the special forces!"
The uniforms of the superpower army are azure in color with special flow patterns on them, which seem to be able to block superpower attacks and are easy to recognize.
When the mayor received the news, he rushed over immediately.
According to the original plan, the support troops from the capital would not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest.
However, with the efforts of the supernatural army in the capital, they managed to advance the time, so they sent a group of supernatural soldiers before dawn.
And the one who rushed over was one of the three generals of the Superpower Army—Xia Ningshuang.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, there will be a second batch, a third batch...
After getting the news, Zhu Hong rushed over both walking and running.
The woman in military uniform was straightforward. When she saw her, she shook her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days. We will be responsible for Jiangcheng's safety from now on..."
As the two men shook hands, the first group of superpower soldiers who had arrived were quickly lining up, then following orders and running towards the various gaps in the dam.
On the dam, the people who saw this scene couldn't help but feel excited.
A little girl jumped up with excitement when she saw the soldiers marching in unison.
But she was too young to understand what this emotion was. After thinking about it during the day, she could only think of a phrase she had just learned recently: "When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid?"
"Yes, our Yaya is awesome!"
Next to her, the little girl's grandmother hugged her and kissed her hard. Looking at the "Animal Superpower Group" on the water, the civilian superpowers on the dam, and the superpower army that had arrived one after another, her heart was "swollen".
Jiang Cheng was rescued by these people and animals.
On the river.
Xu Xinxin looked at the helicopter flying in the sky. Even though she didn't see the special-powered soldiers, she knew that rescue had arrived.
She immediately encouraged the animals who were still trying to help: "Rescue from Jiangcheng has arrived, we just need to try harder."
"Meh~"
“Squeak~”
The finless porpoises and the naughty monkeys all raised their heads and screamed, and the sound could be heard from far away.
"Gah~"
“Wow…”
"Squeak~"
Soon, almost all the animals near the dam heard the sound and responded excitedly.
The special forces standing on the dam were all stunned when they saw the little animals trying hard to help.
The captain, seeing this scene, was immediately in awe and shouted, "Salute!"
"Swish, swish, swish", the special-powered soldiers who had just stood on the dam raised their right hands almost at the same time and saluted the little animals.
When the ordinary people who were helping nearby saw this scene, they were filled with passion and saluted the little animals.
Farther away, people who didn't understand what was going on here saw everyone saluting the animals, and they were moved and saluted towards them too.
For a moment, almost everyone expressed the highest respect to the animals that came to help.
The monkeys and squirrels still sitting on the big sparrow didn't understand what this meant, but everyone felt their intention, so they all followed suit, raised their paws and responded.
The animals in the water, without claws, all drew circles in the water or jumped on the surface.
The little kid next to them saw this and said in surprise: "Look, these animals are saluting us too!"
"Yes, everything has a soul."
Everyone who saw this scene at the scene remembered it deep in their hearts.
So from then on, Jiangcheng is almost one of the cities in the country that loves nature the most and is keen on protecting the environment.
With the addition of the special-powered army, the efficiency of the dam repair work has doubled again.
The sky gradually brightened.
A ray of sunlight passed through the clouds and sprinkled on the river surface, and small rainbows rose again.
