And right now, at the entrance/exit of the urban area.
A group of special forces members have now completed the pouring of the last bit of concrete.
"Five meters thick should be enough to block it!"
"Yes! This quick-drying concrete only takes about half an hour to set! Just wait patiently!"
"..."
After the soldiers finished, they squatted down and smoked. They had heard about what was happening in the industrial area, but they didn't care about these things at all. As long as it didn't affect their lives, everything was normal.
The special forces captain took out his phone and dialed Long Yue's number.
"Mr. Long, the entrances and exits to the urban area have been blocked! So don't worry!"
"I understand! Make sure everything is okay before you leave!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Long! I will definitely complete the mission!"
Long Yue hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.
Upon hearing Long Yue's voice, the special forces captain couldn't help but lick his lips. He was still thinking about what Long Yue looked like when he came here with her a few days ago. If he could get to kiss a beauty like Long Yue, he would be willing to die for it.
After patiently waiting for half an hour, the special forces captain had someone check the strength of the concrete before leaving with his men.
Before leaving, the area within a 10-kilometer radius of this entrance and exit had already been designated as a no-man's-land, and no one was allowed to enter or leave this area at will.
And at this moment, right across from the concrete wall.
Lu Yuan reached his arm in as far as he could, and there was a long wooden stick in his hand, with a termite box propped up on the other end of the stick.
"The wooden stick is about three meters long, damn it! It's three meters long and they still haven't drilled through? Just how thick a layer of concrete did they put in?"
Lu Yuan cursed inwardly, craning his neck to look down. There was less than 30 centimeters of water left beneath his feet, and it wouldn't be long before the water reached him. Once it poured into the hole, Lu Yuan knew he would be truly doomed.
"Come on! Come on! Hurry up and eat!"
Lu Yuan originally hated these termites, but now he couldn't help but cheer them on. The sooner they chewed through this place, the sooner Lu Yuan could escape.
At that moment, the excavator's boom swayed, and Lu Yuan almost lost his footing and fell into the water. Looking at the multicolored water, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
"Phew! Hurry up! Otherwise I'll really die here!"
I pushed the stick in a little further, and it seemed the termites had gotten a bit more advanced.
Seeing that there were not many sticks left, Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and pulled out another piece of stick, tying it to the end of the stick in front.
"Five meters long should be enough!"
Looking down again, Lu Yuan saw that the water level had risen to his ankles, and he could feel water starting to get into his shoes.
"Damn it! I finally got hit by this radiation!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of despair.
Such a short distance! Is it really going to end like this?
Lu Yuan looked down at the dimensional crystal on his chest and suddenly a new idea came to him.
"By the way, with such a deep opening, if I just put the necklace in, and the opening opens later, I can go in with it, right?"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan immediately tied the necklace to a rope and then found a sturdy plastic bag to put the necklace inside.
Then Lu Yuan looked at the depth of the hole and threw the necklace in.
"Springs! We're still missing springs!"
With a thought, Lu Yuan took out a spring from his dimensional space and placed it on one end of the wooden stick, while the other end was fixed to the boom of the excavator.
"Hopefully it won't be more than five meters deep!"
The next second, Lu Yuan entered the dimensional space, leaving everything else to the termites.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan return, everyone immediately surrounded him.
"How's it going? Have we arrived in the city center yet?"
"Has the floodwaters receded? Are we safe now?"
"It took you so long to get past that concrete wall? It looks like it's really deep! Lu Yuan, how are you? Are you hurt?"
"..."
Everyone looked at Lu Yuan with concern and asked him questions.
Lu Yuan waved his hand, then took off his shoes and said, "My shoes are wet. Let's check them with the radiation monitor and burn them! By the way, my feet also have some radioactive water on them. Let's see if there's any problem!"
So everyone quickly got to work, some preparing gasoline, others bringing testing equipment.
After doing this, Lu Yuan immediately felt relieved.
"It's only more than thirty times over, still within the normal range. Whew, that was terrifying!"
Then Lu Yuan explained the situation that had just occurred to everyone.
"Thank goodness for these termites! They're both my life and my downfall! If it weren't for them, I'd probably be stuck in this industrial area forever!"
After finishing all that, Lu Yuan would occasionally check on the situation inside the cave. Because there was no light, Lu Yuan couldn't see clearly what was happening, but now he couldn't get out either.
Since he wanted to leave the dimensional space, he first needed to place the dimensional crystal in a place that could accommodate his body, and obviously the hole could not contain Lu Yuan.
"Have something to eat! Get a good night's sleep, maybe we'll be out of here when we wake up tomorrow!"
