The storm is coming.
But let it come, what does it have to do with me?
Just at the end of the rainy season, the ocean currents on the Endless Sea boiled over, raging and sweeping under the mighty wind, pouring down torrents of rain, covering every inch of the sea and land.
In such wretched weather, even dogs wouldn't want to go out.
Outside, the rain poured down, and the tide sound on the distant coast roared, while indoors it was quiet.
Amidst the howling winds, raindrops the size of beans pelted the windows densely, and under the soft light, Ji Jue held an enamel mug waiting to brew tea, lounging on the sofa leisurely flipping through the Hai Xiang Mirror.
With materials gradually in place, he seized the time to study the secrets of Chun Jun and Pan Ying.
Even though he knew it backwards, cross-verifying them and drawing lessons from each other, he occasionally gained insights and progress.
Ah, this is life!
The creek wood fires soft, the felt warm, Isis and I won't leave!
"Sir, isn't it just you who won't leave?"
The Spirit of Workshop, tasked with managing numerous affairs in Xinquan, maintaining surveillance, overseeing the ever-expanding underground workshop, and managing hundreds of transformed employees, compared today's production KPI numbly while skillfully electrocuting employees pretending to be dead to shirk work, simultaneously wrapping up a safety incident from this morning...
Just ten minutes ago, a substation overloaded and crashed, and in a chain reaction, another substation also began to struggle, organizing a repair team to set out immediately, personnel review underway, employee number 1098 overworked for more than six hours, showing signs of distraction and other hazards, application denied, emergency redeployment of resting personnel...
Meanwhile, to maintain Coastal Industry's power supply, the load on six other power supply facilities increased, exceeding the surplus.
Due to the rainy season, today's vegetable supply gap appeared, temporarily reducing the number of dishes, and dispatching teams for local purchase. Negotiations with suppliers completed, prepayment... allocation... long-term supply adjustments... Fire occurred in workshop 8, excluding human causes, emergency debris clearance, comprehensive maintenance inspections... The fourth batch of materials pre-processing is underway in the workshop... The kitchen hot water is ready, switched to insulation, tea steeping time...
Besides this, the main focus is the Hai Province's cleaning plan, a team suffered casualties, personnel changes, emergency room process activated...
A multitude of matters, innumerable in number, come one after another, the lights in the four-phase spiritual circuit flicker, bursts of colorful sparks emerge and shoot out from the Spiritual Crystal.
In the face of an overwhelming amount of tasks that would give any ordinary person instant cerebral hemorrhage, the Spirit of Workshop handles it in a multi-threaded way, methodically and steadily resolving them.
At this moment, amidst helping, when she turned back again, hearing the prompt 'Isis, is the tea not ready yet?', she suddenly felt a strong urge to ignite the gas and end it all.
"Sir?"
Isis's projection lifts her skirt and salutes, respectfully greeting.
"Hmm?" Ji Jue, looking at a funny short video sent by Ye Chun, chuckled foolishly, turned back, and asked, "Isis, did you see this?
Come quickly, look at this cat..."
Isis sincerely implored, "Could I ask you to go die?"
She paused for a moment and added, "The cat can also accompany along."
"What did this cat do wrong!"
Ji Jue was shocked.
"Whether the cat lives or dies doesn't matter, as long as you go die."
Isis warned coldly, "Or you could voluntarily move your noble backside, get up and go to the kitchen and pour the hot water down your throat along with the tea leaves, and end this unsightly disgrace as soon as possible."
"Alright, alright."
Ji Jue reluctantly got up, yawning as he dawdled, pouring the heated water into the kettle, and asked, "Is lunch ready, what are we eating? If you don't go buy groceries soon, it'll be too late, right?"
"Lunch today doesn't need vegetables." Isis smiled.
"But we're short on meat too?"
"No need for meat either."
Isis said, "You can choose to eat your beloved bullets, or use the hands that should have accomplished more to order yourself takeout!"
"Ah, rebellious phase, huh."
Ji Jue shook his head, sighed, and looked at the rain outside which had temporarily stopped, deciding not to eat at home for lunch.
He scrolled through the chat groups in his chat software, people from the Northern Mountain District were still working overtime at sea, but he couldn't help thinking about it, he could go to the teacher's workshop, after all, it's just a few steps away, not far.
Although the teacher hasn't finished work, it's okay.
He could ask Ye Chun to cook a couple of dishes for him!
In a way, it would contribute to the progress of alchemy, right?
Boom!!!
In the densely clouded sky, a sudden chaotic flash of electric light appeared unexpectedly.
The heavens roared with thunder.
.
.
Under the same gloomy sky and torrential rain, thunder echoed across the wilderness. Thick smoke billowed, rising to the sky, and the fire, unquenchable by the rain, spread across the mountain peak with a roar.
The few machine guns couldn't withstand the strong assault.
Under the bombardment of howitzers, the towering walls of Pan Mountain Village collapsed with a thunderous crash, wails continuing, shattered limbs flying into the air, then falling back into the mud with the blood.
In the harsh wind and rain, it was an apocalyptic sight.
The cannon fire roared incessantly.
Ignoring the cries and pleas for mercy, the howitzer operator expressionlessly reloaded, fired, reloaded, and fired again, and after firing ten shells, the heavily fortified Pan Mountain Village turned into a battered shell under the bombardment.
