Chapter 177: Chapter 143: The Flood Peak Arrives (Part 2)
What the water conservation expert said made a lot of sense.
So they began mobilizing citizens to move to the city sports hall, and classes were suspended at all schools.
Jiaying City announced several places where people could seek refuge, and upon discovering a flood, they immediately entered the shelters.
Ye Bai had an idea on how to prevent a breach, which involved deploying the Sunflower army.
The number of Sunflowers has grown beyond count, and their intertwined roots and stems can tightly seal any breach in the dike.
This not only helps in promoting the Sunflower Pet Beast but also provides convenience for flood control and disaster relief.
"Sunflower Emperor, it’s your time to shine. Summon your subordinates and proceed directly to Jiaying River."
The mighty Sunflower army set off from Shen Mountain Middle School and surged towards Jiaying River, setting camp near the dams.
The subtle fragrance of the flowers can ease mental fatigue, offering a small benefit to the Pet Beast Masters involved in flood control and disaster relief.
"Ye Bai, you stay in the lab for now. President Wang has something to discuss with me."
Ever since learning Zhang Lingxue had advanced to become a Tier Six Pet Beast Master, President Zhang entrusted all matters related to flood control and disaster relief in Jiaying City to Zhang Lingxue.
With this Tier Six expert in charge, President Wang felt considerably more at ease.
"Secretary Liang, please report on our current situation."
The high-ranking members of the Pet Beast Union watched as Secretary Liang presented his report.
"The first wave of the flood peak is expected to arrive at six o’clock tonight."
"It is said that there are special Water Beasts within the flood peak."
"According to information from West River City, there are two types of Exotic Beasts this time. One species resembles shrimp, with long and sharp shrimp spears."
"The other is similar to crabs, and their pincers look like giant Vajra hammers."
"Furthermore, the levels of these two Exotic Beasts are not low, at least above Tier Two."
"Parts of our city’s low-lying areas have already been flooded, and citizens have been relocated."
"We have deployed teams of ten to specifically handle the real-time water level of Jiaying River to minimize the losses."
After Secretary Liang finished the report, President Wang spoke.
"Does anyone have any opinions on how to manage flood control and disaster relief and minimize losses?"
Everyone expressed their thoughts and discussed actively. With the emergency warning corresponding to the flood peak, they were very experienced.
Suddenly, someone raised a question: "President, what if a Poisonous Flood Dragon appears during our fight against the flood peak?"
President Wang’s gaze fell on Zhang Lingxue: "If an Evil Flood Dragon appears, we naturally have people who can handle it, so everyone should be assured."
"We must remember, we are Pet Beast Masters, leveraging the power of Pet Beasts to combat natural disasters."
At this time, a senior member of the Pet Beast Union raised their hand: "We should collect some Earth Element, Ice Element, and Water Element Pet Beast Masters."
"If the dam indeed faces problems, we can use the skills to transform mud into stone and seal the dam."
"Ice Pet Beasts can also freeze the water."
"Water Pet Beasts can assist in the rapid evacuation of citizens."
"As for rescue supplies, we might not have time to prepare. We can borrow supplies from the Divine Phoenix Group in Jiaying City."
"We should agree to settle accounts after flood control."
"We will guarantee on behalf of the Pet Beast Union, Divine Phoenix Group should lend us the supplies."
Currently, only a giant like the Divine Phoenix Group in Jiaying City can provide supplies.
Divine Phoenix Group.
The steward gravely opened the message from Ye Bai and the Pet Beast Union simultaneously.
"Steward, what’s written in the above message?"
The steward read each word aloud: "Three days later, the dam will breach, prompting us to prepare supplies and give them to the people from the Pet Beast Union for flood control and disaster relief."
"This concerns the safety of Jiaying City, so we must take it seriously."
"And the Pet Beast Union’s email came to request resources."
Sofia chuckled: "No worries, our company is large and successful, giving some resources is no big deal."
"Besides, this is a natural disaster, we must promote our Divine Phoenix Group’s reputation."
"This prevents opponents from slandering the name of Divine Phoenix Group."
"Also, transfer one hundred million Alliance Coins to the city’s public account, stating it’s donated by our Divine Phoenix Group, and don’t say much else."
Sofia leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes to rest: "We should stockpile more water and inspect the low-lying areas of the group, protect and move essential production equipment and production lines."
"Prevent theft amid chaos."
The steward nodded heavily: "Understood, I’ll make arrangements."
"Miss, although today is the day you are supposed to meet Big Gray, I advise patience."
"Many streets are already flooded, we must pass those streets to reach the Cultivation House."
"Your safety is very important."
"The more chaotic it gets, the calmer we must remain."
The steward advised earnestly.
"I understand, given the situation, we will hold off going out for now."
"We’ll visit once the situation calms down."
"Let me think, what can be bought at the Cultivation House."
"I want to cheer up Big Gray."
........
The flood peak arrived, charging forth like thousands of galloping horses. The white water instantly filled Jiaying River as if tearing the entire river channel apart.
Waves slammed against the dams in succession, a few people nearly got swept away by the waves, but luckily others nearby pulled them just in time, or they’d be lost forever.
"This flood peak is essentially an unusual beast tide."
"Thankfully, these Exotic Beasts only operate within the river water."
The flood peak moves extremely fast, often before these Exotic Beasts can act, they’re already floating far away.
As long as the flood peak is endured, it means sending those demons away.
President Wang felt he was getting old; he needs to quickly find a successor and step down.’
Ye Bai stealthily arrived beside Jiaying River, the river water gushed forward like muddy yellow water.
Space Pelican spread its wings to shield Ye Bai from the rain.
Raindrops pounded onto Space Pelican’s wings.
Ye Bai noticed a faint shadow on the river surface.
A large shrimp-like Exotic Beast emerged from the river.
It looked like a cooked shrimp, entirely red, with a sharp bee spear.
Its massive pincers resembled two fists, hence its name Boxing Shrimp.
With one hand, it leaped mid-air from the river, out from the water.
Its two large pincers emitted a white glow; should they land on Ye Bai’s head, his head would burst like a watermelon.
At this moment, Sunflower Emperor, or more accurately, a clone of Sunflower Emperor, the Tier Three Sunflower, took action.
Their leaves curled up forming a fist shape, swinging heavily towards Boxing Shrimp’s pincers.
A sound of air being sliced echoed in the air as Boxing Shrimp and Sunflower clashed, resulting in Boxing Shrimp’s total defeat.
Boxing Shrimp’s pincers detached from its body and fell heavily to the ground.
It displayed an expression of disbelief, as Boxing Shrimp never expected to lose to a seemingly fragile Pet Beast.
At this time, Sunflower’s iron-hard clone entangled around Boxing Shrimp.
Boxing Shrimp’s body made cracking sounds while large cracks appeared.
Soon, a brilliant blue Water Crystal Core was excavated by Sunflower.
However, the battle seemed to have alarmed the Exotic Beasts lurking beneath the river water. More and more Exotic Beasts popped their heads out, eyes gleaming red like hellish ghosts.
