Luckily, there are heavy industrial exoskeletons for emergency maintenance of the infrastructure during the torrential rain. The construction of flood prevention facilities has never stopped since New Spring Town was established, finally proving useful now.

Lightning flashes across the sky, the storm howling.

An off-road vehicle barged into New Spring Town, and a mud-covered person jumped out, breathless.

"The water level has risen again!"

The Observer urgently reported, looking panicked: "The Long River has changed course, the old estuary is expanding, and it can't be blocked anymore. Boss, it really can't be blocked!"

After listening, Ji Jue didn't insist, merely nodding: "Let everyone withdraw then; they've worked hard, the bonus stays the same."

With long-term continuous rain combined with storms, now who knows how much mud and water are rushing down from upstream along the Long River next to New Spring Town, mixed with rocks and debris from mudslides, breaking through the previously set temporary dikes, rushing into the old riverbank...

At this point, there's no way to block it anymore.

No matter how much he orders, it's just playing with lives, moreover, can it really be blocked?

Gou Er beside him wanted to speak, but held back in the end.

At this moment, to earn some brownie points, he should actually take the initiative to step up and undertake this task, but what's the use? It's simply replacing one failure, one batch of deaths with another.

Under the great flood raging down to the sea, the entire New Spring Town heard the earth-shattering roar. Thankfully, the riverbank was repeatedly reinforced by Ji Jue; otherwise, New Spring right next to the Long River would have been submerged beyond recognition.

This is the silver lining in misfortune.

Unfortunately, the previous strategy to limit the water level thus ends in failure.

Although New Spring is still more than ten kilometers away from the Coast, with the sea level rising, this distance is rapidly shrinking. Coupled with the Long River rushing into the sea, it is completely wide open for the Water Ghosts.

A sudden typhoon and torrential rain wiped away most geographical advantages.

After making the decision, Ji Jue then instructed Gou Er to assist in withdrawing and relocating the flood defense manpower. After that, he quietly sat at his seat, gazing at the monitoring images on the screen.

Nowadays, Yan Gong, key personnel at the factory, and even most of the old employees have been sent by Ji Jue to Cliff City. Well, there's not much business or production during the rainy season anyway, so why not just organize a team-building outing with all meals, accommodation, and entertainment cared for—nothing to worry about.

Even if there are demands afterwards, aren't there still those cattle and horses submerged up to their waists in water in the underground factory still dedicated to the Coast, dedicated to production?

As for Lu Feng, from the beginning until now, he's sprawled on the chair, leisurely scratching his foot, browsing short videos, not worried at all. Anyway, the defense of the factory area and New Spring has a few trusted subordinates keeping watch, nothing will go wrong. What's the use of being scared? Might as well conserve energy and wait for the opponent to show up, then hit them with a decisive strike.

For an afternoon and a night, the whole of New Spring was anxious and fearful.

In the midst of storm devastation, the rain never ceased, with overturned sheds constantly rising into the sky then falling, breaking into pieces, even bricks and stones were being blown up.

The flash of exploding electrical boxes appeared continually, wires waved futilely, breaking rapidly.

Without the protection of the Heavenly Governor's Law, the wilderness is gradually losing shape amid the disaster.

At this moment, New Spring, in the storm, is just like a small box, silently enduring the ravages of the wind and rain, gradually cracking and deforming.

Yet this is already far better than most settlements in the wilderness.

Amidst the chaos of mudslides and floods, who knows how many settlements have been submerged in mud and water. Everyone stayed trembling in the most stable houses in the settlement, praying for the storm to end.

The rampage of the disaster continued into the deep night, the rain gradually waned but continued steadily, yet the wind had started to abate, making countless people sigh in relief.

At the same time, countless others were on edge.

Anxious and restless.

From within the drizzle and mist, only the roaring of the Long River can be heard, along with the gradually surging Tide Sound from afar. In the mist drifting from the sea, the smell of blood and foulness gradually emerged.

Lu Feng on the deck chair turned off his phone, slowly stood up, sniffed attentively.

As if listening intently.

"It's about time."

He felt his pulse suddenly quicken, softly remarked.

At that moment, piercing alarms erupted from every corner of New Spring Town, glaring red lights flowing incessantly with the warning lamps, waking everyone drowsy.

Floodlights all started up, dazzling flares ascended into the sky, the pale light instantly illuminating the entire town.

The sound of steel grinding filled the air.

And right on the radar screen, one red dot after another suddenly emerged above the offshore sea from beyond the field of view, in swarms, countless.

Like the tide, rushing toward New Spring!

Tens, hundreds, until finally almost the entire screen was stained crimson...

"They've finally arrived."

Ji Jue sighed softly, stood up, took off his coat and draped it over himself, and headed toward his workshop: "Isis."

"I'm here."

"Activate defense strategy, launch platforms one, two, three, four, five, for saturation attack."

"As you command."

Accompanied by a gentle voice, the night sky was ignited by flames.
