Cave Refuge-Chapter 210 - 209 Sun Rain_1

When the Martial Artists began to attack the private shelters, Ye Liuyun’s refuge center was no exception. It, too, was targeted by the Martial Artists.

However, Ye Liuyun was shrewd. He repelled the first attack with firearms, then decisively arranged for the survivors in the refuge center to dig a tunnel connecting to the subway network. He then sent people to find his brother, Robinson William, at the West City District Command Post for help.

The rest was straightforward. When the same Martial Artist who was repelled last time gathered his companions to prepare a forceful breakthrough, he was directly counter-killed by the special forces team led by Robinson William.

Of course, Ye Liuyun’s private refuge center still didn’t survive. Even though some valuable materials were preserved due to relations, the majority of supplies, especially the food, were all transferred to the warehouse of the West City District Headquarters.

After dealing with these, Ye Liuyun did not stay there but decisively returned to live in the shelter converted from the War Reserve Warehouse.

When he was here, he would occasionally visit the tent where Dong Tianyu’s parents lived to ask if Dong Tianyu had returned.

Upon knowing that Dong Tianyu had not returned recently, Ye Liuyun was both pleased and disappointed. He wished for his brother to live a good life but did not wish for his brother to be better off without him.

On Dong Tianyu’s side, life was fairing quite well. Every day was leisurely, especially after Martial Artists ceased setting foot on Nameless Mountain; his daily life became even more regular.

The outside temperature was still rising incessantly at this point, having reached over ninety degrees. Even a Martial Artist in the Inner Breath Realm could not spend long on the surface at this temperature.

However, Dong Tianyu maintained his daily commute between his Cave mansion and his ship.

Just when Dong Tianyu thought this disaster would slowly fade away, the sky began to drizzle. At first, the survivors were ecstatic when they noticed the rain. Each survivor felt that this light rain would bring some relief to the land.

However, when the survivors tried to catch the rainwater in their hands, their palms were suddenly scalded by the hot rainwater, causing blisters.

At this point, those who were previously excited realized that the rain falling from the sky was, in fact, hot water.

And the rain was steadily becoming more eminent, the amount of precipitation was continuously increasing.

With this discovery, the survivors began to panic.

After all, the flood had just ended not long ago. If the rainfall was too heavy, causing another flood that submerges the refuge center, ordinary people would not even have the chance to survive.

Besides, even though the external temperature was in the eighties to nineties, the temperature in the underground shelters had been maintained around thirty-five to six degrees through various cooling methods by the Officials. Although this temperature was fairly unfriendly to the survivors, causing them to sweat constantly in the high heat, at least they wouldn’t suffer from a heatstroke.

However, with the onset of the hot rain, although the sun-baked land initially absorbed the rainwater, as the rain became heavier, and the land couldn’t absorb any more water, floodwater might accumulate in the city.

Once the accumulated water height exceeded the entrance of the refuge center, rainwater would start flowing back into the refuge center.

If the high-temperature rainwater entered the shelter, it would raise the temperature within the shelter by a few degrees. The consequences of this would be unbearable for the survivors living in the shelter.

The temperature outside had reached the eighties to nineties, and the temperature of the rainwater was no less than seventy to eighty degrees.

With the discovery of this situation, the entrance in War Reserve Warehouse Shelter was firstly shut down, very decisively using the reserved quick-drying cement for blocking.

Other entrances and exits that were relatively low-lying also went through the same operation, all to prevent the backflow of the rainwater.

The rain lasted for three days. Fortunately, the precipitation was large, but after the flood, the Officials had organized the survivors to dredge the sewer of Pengcheng once. The hot rainwater flowed into the already dried-up river channels along the sewer.

When the heavy rain ended, not only was Pengcheng not flooded, but water also reappeared in the already dry river channels.

However, bubbles occasionally appearing in the water indicated to others that this water was only fit for boiling, not for bathing.

During the days when it was raining, Dong Tianyu did not alter his daily schedule. Despite the pitter-patter of the rain outside the window, his car could drive directly into the Cave Mansion. Once aboard the ship, the defense formation also blocked the rainwater from entering.

So no matter how heavy the rain was outside, it only mildly inconvenienced Dong Tianyu. The other effects on him were negligible.

And along with the sound of the rain, Dong Tianyu, Walker Violet, and Jasmine Anderson had a different kind of fun playing in the entertainment area on the deck.

When they were having a good time, Jasmine Anderson quietly asked Dong Tianyu if the rain would get heavier and flood Pengcheng again. When that happened, could they go out and take a leisurely trip aboard the ship.

While other survivors hoped for the rain to stop immediately, to prevent another flood, Jasmine Anderson actually hoped for another flood to submerge Pengcheng, just so they could go out and relax on the ship.

Though it was just a casual remark, the meaning of the saying "while meat rots behind the rich man’s door, the poor freeze to death on the road" was fully displayed at this moment.

Upon hearing Jasmine Anderson’s words, Dong Tianyu heavily patted her buttocks a few times. These heavy blows made Jasmine Anderson wail in pain. With teary eyes, she gave Dong Tianyu a pitiful look.

Although she bit her lip and didn’t yelp in pain anymore, her pitiful gaze as if seeking sympathy spoke volumes. It seemed to accuse Dong Tianyu of his cruelty just now.

But seeing this sight, Dong Tianyu did not feel sorry. Instead, he spanked her a dozen more times.

The repeated heavy blows made Jasmine Anderson intolerable, and she looked to her sister for help with her eyes.

Walker Violet rubbed the reddened area with her hand, and complained slightly, "If you don’t have a brain, don’t blabber. At this critical time, how could you still hope for another flood to occur? Don’t you know how many people in Pengcheng can’t endure each round of disaster, and will lose their lives because of it?"

Hearing her sister’s reprimand, Jasmine Anderson finally understood why Dong Tianyu was so heavy-handed this time.

After knowing the reason, Jasmine Anderson grabbed Dong Tianyu’s hands and used her own two main points to apologize repeatedly. This apology was not only sent with her action, but also verbally expressed.

Seeing Jasmine Anderson knowing her fault and correcting it, Dong Tianyu also softened his movements. Some things were a matter of principle, and once discovered, it was crucial to point out the mistake immediately.
