Chapter three hundred and ninety first stealing soil
Yangcheng is not far from the capital of Shu. If you take the expressway, it is less than an hour away.
However, taking the overnight train and being delayed in the city, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening by the time Cheng Lin arrived in Yangcheng.
Generally speaking, a taxi for such a long road would cost less than 200 yuan. Cheng Lin gave 500 yuan, which was doubled. He found a busy shopping mall in Yangcheng and got off the bus. He made a special trip to another place.
A car rushed to a village underground in Xiangyang City.
It rained heavily here two days ago and the ground was muddy. On the road some distance from the village, Cheng Lin got off the car, used an online map to identify the direction, and then ran all the way through the night.
When we finally arrived at our destination, it was already past one in the morning.
…
"Huh, it should be right here."
In the darkness, light rain was still falling in the sky.
Cheng Lin released his spiritual energy and shook the muddy water off his pants and shoes with a sudden "shock". He stuffed his left hand into his pocket and held his cell phone in front of him with his right hand. He looked at the map above and then at the village ahead.
Well, it's more obvious than expected.
The whole village was dark, and the people didn't know whether they had moved or not. Even if they hadn't, most of them were probably asleep.
However, there were bright lights in the village, which were very dazzling. With his extraordinary eyesight, Cheng Lin saw some equipment such as excavators.
"This is...the construction team that came to clean up the soil, right?"
Cheng Lin guessed.
That news was not a real-time report, but was similar to a disaster relief report afterwards. In other words, the landslide had stopped a long time ago. Even the local government had sent people to deal with the disaster, and people were able to evacuate.
There are only a few left here.
What urgently needs to be dealt with in the village are the collapsed houses that need to be rebuilt, but before that, the fallen soil and stones need to be cleared away.
Cheng Lin saw the news and ran straight over.
At this time, there was still light rain in the sky, and there was no night work. The construction team seemed to have stopped in the village, turning on some headlights for safety, but it was bright and clear.
Cheng Lin put away his cell phone and walked straight towards the village on the cleared road. When he got closer, he clearly saw the collapsed and buried houses.
There was a thick layer of mud on the ground, and the construction team seemed to have cleared part of it. There was a large truck with a blue truck parked next to it, and there were gray and black mud spots all over the tires.
Under the dim incandescent light, a simple shed was erected on the ground, shadowy. There seemed to be someone on duty inside, probably watching the machine.
This man was so alert that he didn't even die of sleep. When he heard the dog barking outside, he quickly put on a gray work clothes, picked up the flashlight on the table, opened the door and walked out.
Then, the flashlight's beam shone through, revealing Cheng Lin walking slowly in the darkness.
"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing..."
The man rubbed his eyes, cheered up, and yelled loudly. However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw the black shadow raising his right hand and waving at him. The man suddenly lost consciousness and rolled his eyes.
He fell softly to the ground.
"诱辱豱辘."
Cheng Lin walked over quietly, looked at the flashlight rolling on the ground, bent down to pick it up, and whispered: "Borrow it."
After thinking about it, he reached out and stuffed the man who had been knocked unconscious by his "spiritual storm" back into the shack. With his mastery of "spiritual storm", he could completely control these people without harming them.
Shut up.
"There's quite a lot of dirt here..."
Cheng Lin took a flashlight and shined it towards the mountain, feeling happy and sad at the same time.
Fortunately, there is definitely enough soil here, and I can steal it without any psychological burden. This can be regarded as a contribution to the villagers.
The worry is, with so much soil, how easy is it to move it into the space?
"How about...use an excavator? But I can't drive it either..."
Cheng Lin glanced at the tall metal equipment next to him with a headache. These things stood in the darkness like devil giants.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to open the light door first. If it didn't work, he could only drive the excavator and pour it in. It didn't matter if he couldn't open it, he could check it online...
With careful attention in mind, Cheng Lin braved the drizzle, waved his hand, and a huge light door appeared in the darkness.
This light door seemed a little bigger than when it was in the hotel, about three meters high, and it looked very spectacular. Just when Cheng Lin was worried about how to transport the soil, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, a huge suction force suddenly came from the light door, almost sucking him in. Cheng Lin was shocked and quickly stabilized his body, condensed his mental power into a bundle, threw it into the light door, and opened the "tentacles"!
The next moment, the scene inside the initial space appeared in his mind.
I saw that in that silent space, the World Tree (seedling) seemed to sense the soil outside the door, and it jumped for joy. The densely packed roots exposed on the surface flew like squid tentacles, which looked quite scary.
As the roots danced, strong suction forces appeared, and pieces of soil, stones, turf... were all sucked in.
"Do you have such a strong desire to survive?" After seeing the situation clearly, Cheng Lin disconnected his tentacles, opened his eyes, and couldn't help but complain. This world tree is fighting hard to survive, "What should I say? You are already a mature tree.
The tree has grown, do you need to learn to absorb soil by yourself?"
Oddly enough, this suction force seems to be quite picky. The soil that fell from the mountain, the plants, and the finely broken stones all came. However, the bricks, tiles, iron sheets, etc. from the collapsed houses were sucked in within a few seconds, and were sucked in again.
"Spit" it out.
Cheng Lin saw that he was so happy that he just hugged his shoulders and supervised.
When a place absorbs all the light, he closes the light door, reopens it in another place, and continues to absorb...
I saw countless earth and stone fragments in the darkness being swallowed up by a strange door of light. It looked so strange.
The rumbling sound of soil sucking was extremely clear in the silent night sky, like thunder. People from the construction team and remaining villagers were constantly awakened from their sleep and rushed towards us. However, before they could see the situation clearly, they
He will be knocked unconscious by Cheng Lin's "spiritual storm".
But people kept coming, which made him very irritated, so he simply ran around the village, knocking out everyone, including poultry, cats and dogs.
…
…
"What's this noise? Another landslide?"
In a certain house in the village that is still intact.
The village chief put on his clothes, opened the door, stood in the small courtyard and looked over there.
As a grassroots leader, he was determined to stay this time and did not move to a temporary resettlement camp.
"It's not raining heavily. It can't be right. Work probably started overnight?" The village chief's wife also opened the door and walked out, looked at the sky, and muttered.
"Something's wrong... I'll go take a look, you look after the house." The village chief frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple.
"Get an umbrella..."
As they were talking, suddenly, the two of them felt a strong sense of tiredness coming over them. Their eyelids couldn't hold on, and in the blink of an eye they fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Outside the courtyard gate.
Cheng Lin, dressed in black, easily climbed over the wall and entered the yard. He glanced at the old couple on the ground, sighed, picked them up and put them back into the house, "The last two of us...
Can you work quietly this time?"
…
There was drizzle in the night sky.
The rumbling sound continued for a while before finally disappearing.
Then fell into silence.
…
August is still the height of summer, and the sky gets bright early.
Before five o'clock the next day, it was already bright and bright outside.
"Ouch..."
The village chief got up in a daze, and first glanced at his wife who was snoring next to him. Then he heard the sound of many people talking outside the yard, which seemed to be very lively.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The village chief hurriedly ran out and saw a group of people talking nonsense.
"Look! Over there!" A young man pointed ahead.
Because it's dawn, the village is small, and you can already see clearly from here.
The village chief glanced at him, then was stunned. The next moment he couldn't help but tremble all over, widened his eyes, and shouted: "Where is the soil in our village? Why is the soil gone?!"
It will be Monday soon, so please ask for recommended tickets in advance~
