Chapter 673 If we don't dig out water, we'll all die!
The rugged man's cloudy eyes looked into the distance.
It was a very spacious underground cave.
It appears to be several thousand square meters in size and tens to hundreds of meters high.
Below the cave, there are more than a dozen caves of varying sizes scattered throughout the plaza.
These caves are man-made underground wells.
Previously, a powerful army would have guarded the square.
After all, this is the underground city's reservoir, one of the most important places.
But now, only two soldiers remain here.
They wielded spear-like weapons, with wooden shafts and sharp metal tips.
The burly man staggered towards the square and respectfully asked a soldier, "Sir, is there any water here? My daughter is dying of thirst, please help me."
"No, we haven't had water for two days," a soldier said weakly.
"Go see for yourself if you don't believe me," the other person said impatiently, leaning against the rock wall.
Normally, civilians are prohibited from approaching underground water wells at will.
Because water resources are very limited, the city lord's mansion must collect and distribute water in a unified manner.
But now, only two soldiers remain to guard the well.
The two soldiers made no attempt to stop him, and even let the burly man see for himself.
"How is this possible? Is there really no water? Why is this happening?"
At this moment, the burly man had approached a well, and with the faint light of the flint beside the well, he could see the numbness and emptiness on the faces of the two soldiers.
He also noticed that the two soldiers were very pale and had cracked lips.
It was clear that even the soldiers guarding the underground wells were severely dehydrated.
"It's over! It's really over!"
The rugged man felt a sharp pain in his heart when he thought of his daughter's desperate eyes.
But even the only underground well here is dry, so where can he get water?
Boom~Boom~Boom~
Suddenly, the ground in the square trembled slightly.
Some gravel fell from above.
The rubble landed not far from the two soldiers, but they didn't even bother to look at it.
His expression remained blank!
"What happened?" the burly man asked, barely able to stand.
"It's the city lord who's still digging the well." A soldier squinted, still looking weak and listless.
"It's no use. It's been so many days. If we could dig out water, we would have done so long ago." Another person rolled his eyes and said weakly.
Since the underground river was buried, the current city lord has wanted to dig it up again.
However, after many attempts, it ultimately failed.
Then, the city lord attempted to dig a new underground water well.
This would solve the underground city dilemma.
However, you can tell from what these two soldiers said.
The city lord has been digging for many days!
If we could dig out water, we would have done so already!
"I'll go take a look!" The burly man took a deep breath, braced himself, and headed toward the direction of the sound.
The two soldiers did not stop them when they saw this.
Even so, they had lost hope.
But I still hope for a miracle.
After all, nobody wants to die of thirst.
The burly man continued walking and soon came across another huge cave.
This is where the underground river was buried.
This huge cave was dug by the city lord to create an underground river.
Now that they can't find underground river water, they have to settle for second best and try digging a well.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Upon entering the cave, the rugged man saw a tall figure.
It was a woman dressed in fiery red armor and wearing a dark red cloak.
She was tall and slender, with long, dark red hair casually tied into a ponytail.
Her delicate yet aloof oval face was as white as jade.
A flame mark on his forehead gave him an air of nobility and majesty.
She is the current lord of the underground city.
Although it looks very dignified and domineering.
But she has a very sweet name, Miyi!
Is this a Flame Awakener with an S+ rating, or an Earth Awakener with an A+ rating?
A super strong expert who is halfway to the ninth level.
Moreover, with the support of dual-elemental talents, it is infinitely close to the ninth rank!
"Stop! You can't go in here!" The burly man was blocked by several strong men as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave.
"Sir, is there any water here? My daughter is dying of thirst!" the burly man pleaded.
Although he was very weak, his eyes were filled with an unwavering desire for his daughter to live.
However, the guard simply said in a deep voice, "The city lord is trying to find a solution; for now, we can only wait!"
People have been coming to inquire about this every day for the past few days.
Some even tried to force their way in.
This really annoyed them.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Inside the cave at this moment.
Mii was slamming her fists into the ground again and again.
With each punch she threw.
Giant fireballs materialized out of thin air, smashing dozens of large craters into the ground.
Each of the large pits is hundreds of meters in diameter and more than ten meters deep!
"Keep digging!" Mii's authoritative voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, a tall, burly man beside Mi Yi frowned and said, "Lord City Lord, we've already dug over a hundred holes. This space is riddled with holes. If we continue digging, I'm afraid..."
This man is named Hu Zhi, and he is one of only two eighth-tier powerhouses in the dungeon.
She is also the most capable assistant to the city lord, Miyi.
Hu Zhi looked around and gave a wry smile.
Hundreds of pits have been dug into this huge cavern, which is much larger than the previous plaza.
Most of the pits were excavated to a depth of over 100 meters, with the smallest pits being excavated to a depth of over 100 meters.
Unfortunately, none of them yielded water; they were all just dry, barren soil.
But that's not what Hu Zhi is worried about.
Rather, it's because...the dungeons are facing their current predicament.
It was because of the underground world that they dug up a honeycomb-like structure, leaving it riddled with holes.
If a severe earthquake were to occur, this riddled underground world would completely collapse!
“There’s no other way!” Mii said sternly, her voice commanding without room for argument. “Keep digging! If we don’t find water, we’ll all die!”
After all, they have now completely lost their water supply.
If water is found inside in a single day, countless people will die of thirst!
The remaining people will also die of thirst one after another.
As for moving, leaving the underground city to live on land?
That’s even worse!
Because the people in the underground city are different from those in other places.
They have lived underground for generations, and their lifestyle has become unsuitable for the outside environment.
He was physically weak and suffered from various ailments due to lack of sunlight.
Only a few powerful superhumans are somewhat normal.
Once they leave the underground world, these various diseases will break out, and countless people will likely die.
Therefore, the idea of leaving the dungeon was rejected from the very beginning!
The only way to ensure the survival of their people in the underground city is to dig deeper.
We must find a water source!
