Chapter 720: Giant Tiankeng
"Miss Lin, why are you here too?" The engineer who was commanding the on-site work was shocked when he saw Lin Manni appearing at the command center. He quickly put down the walkie-talkie in his hand and greeted him, saying, "It's already early morning, the temperature in the mountains..."
"Haha, Mr. Chen, I'm not a spoiled daughter." Lin Manni, who was carrying the ultimate strengthening Chinese pastoral dog, smiled when she heard the words of the engineer named Chen. She patted the down jacket she was wearing and said with a smile: "I have prepared a midnight snack for everyone, call the workers and masters over to rest, and then work after the midnight snack."
Before Lin Manni could finish her speech, several bright light beams lit up on a mountain path behind the right of the command center. More than a dozen young people from the town appeared in the sight of the engineer named Chen, carrying white plastic boxes.
Seeing this scene, the engineer surnamed Chen knew that the boxes contained the late night snack that Lin Manni had prepared overnight. After retracting her gaze that fell on the boxes, the engineer surnamed Chen, who was nearly forty years old, took a light breath, and a touching light flashed in his eyes, nodding and saying, "Ms. Lin, you are really a bit of a waste of money..."
"It's just some late-night snacks." Lin Manni smiled and raised her hand to point at the workers who were still busy on the road ahead, saying, "They stay up late to work, but they don't even need a penny salary. Compared to them, I seem too stingy."
“But this road is…”
"Okay, okay, call them all over here quickly." Lin Manni did not give the engineer surnamed Chen a chance to speak again. She smiled and blinked at him, saying, "The temperature in the mountains is low, and it will be cold after a while."
"Okay." The engineer surnamed Chen couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, but no longer spoke up to defend Lin Manni. He picked up the walkie-talkie on the side, pressed the button and said, "Be careful on all sections. Miss Lin sent everyone a midnight snack. They stopped the work at hand and came here to have midnight snack."
"Please note, Miss Lin sent you midnight snacks, and they stopped the work at hand first, and went to have midnight snacks." After receiving a notice from the engineer named Chen, the voices of the person in charge of each section were heard one after another, and the laughter and thanks from the workers soon rang out in the mountains.
More than ten minutes later, workers from all sections gathered in the open space where the command center was located, ate the midnight snacks that Lin Manni brought to them and joked loudly. Lin Manni, who was standing by and watching, understood in her heart that they were using this method to eliminate fatigue and tiredness and wait for the start of a new round of work.
Only a small part of these workers are skilled workers recruited directly from the county town by Lin Manni. The remaining 100 workers are local people in Bandang Town, and most of them gathered from the mountains to help with their voluntary help, because once this road is completed, the people in Bandang Town, who live in the mountains are the biggest beneficiaries of this road.
In fact, after so long, Lin Manni has been busy with road construction, school and other matters in Ziyun Miao and Buyi Autonomous County, he has even gradually gotten used to life here. There is not much intrigue here, nor is there annoying noise or noise. After so long, what Lin Manni heard and saw were the simple smiles and gratitude words of the local people.
This is a group of simple people who are very easy to satisfy, but Lin Manni also knows that she is just a passerby here. Once various aid projects are completed, she will take the girls in the foundation to embark on the way back to Wenle County.
Because in Wenle County, she has too many concerns, these things are treasures that she can never give up...
Looking at the workers eating midnight snacks under the headlights, Lin Manni fell into a trance. The expression on her face was sometimes joyful and sometimes resentful. She looked at the engineer named Chen standing there and laughed secretly. It seemed that Miss Lin was thinking about her boyfriend.
As one of the engineers who appeared beside them shortly after Lin Manni came to Ziyun Miao Buyi Autonomous County, the engineer surnamed Chen has certainly heard many descriptions of Ye Yangcheng. In his hearing-in impression, Ms. Lin's boyfriend, who is kind-hearted but never drags on doing things, should be a very handsome young man.
He remembered that he had heard that the Yangcheng Charity Foundation was founded by him, and he devoted more than 80% of his corporate income to charity... Perhaps, only such young people can be worthy of a girl like Miss Lin, right?
The only pity is that when Yeyang City came to Ziyun Miao Buyi Autonomous County last time, he happened to be instructing construction at a construction site and failed to witness the appearance of Yeyang City with his own eyes...
Shaking his head and expelling these messy thoughts from his mind, the engineer surnamed Chen turned his head and grinned at Lin Manni, saying, "When the project here is completed, will Miss Lin go back to Wenle County?"
"Ah?" Lin Manni, who was stunned for a moment, was stunned for a moment, then she came back to her senses and smiled, raised her hand to fiddle with the bangs on her forehead, and nodded: "Yes, I'm going back after the completion."
"The happiest girl who returns to her husband." The engineer surnamed Chen said with a tentative look.
"Where is it?" Lin Manni's face turned red, but she pretended to be calm and said, "We are not married yet."
"Oh..." The engineer surnamed Chen said with deep meaning, and suddenly his mind became hot and he blurted out: "So, when Miss Lin and Mr. Ye get married, I wonder if I am lucky to attend your wedding?"
"Of course." Lin Manni was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, nodded and said, "If Mr. Chen has time to pass by then, we will certainly welcome him."
"Then I'm just waiting for the wedding banquet between you and Mr. Ye, Miss Lin." The engineer surnamed Chen didn't expect Lin Manni to answer so simply. She rubbed her hands happily and laughed.
The atmosphere in the open space outside the command center seemed very warm, which was in sharp contrast to the low temperature in the early morning in the mountains. However, people who were completely immersed in laughter and joy did not notice that behind a small mound less than fifty meters away from the open space of the command center, a huge sinking pit was quietly forming, and its collapse was astonishingly fast.
The location where this sinkhole appeared was exactly the center of the original sinkholes. As the collapse speed continued to accelerate, the already existing sinkholes around them began to be swallowed up quickly and merged into it to become part of the huge sinkhole.
In the center of this giant sinkhole that suddenly appeared, if someone could stand above and observe carefully at this time, he would definitely find that at the center of this giant sinkhole, a light flashed from time to time. The light was suddenly blue, but also white.
However, because the continuous sinking of the soil and rocks blocked the light from seeping out, if you don’t observe carefully, you may not be able to find the existence of these two rays of light.
When the collapse diameter of the sinkhole reached almost seventy meters, the strange collapse suddenly stopped, and a sparse conversation sound came from the ground of the sinkhole...
"The soil is the soil of the original world." The surprised voice of a young man floated out under the sinkhole. When he listened carefully, he seemed to have a feeling of sinister measurement.
"Yes, this is the soil of the original world." After the young man's voice fell, another middle-aged man's voice rang out immediately. He couldn't help but shouted happily: "Zhenggang Lao Gui, the space barrier has been shattered by us."
"Don't worry, it's not time yet," said another middle-aged man: "Now it's just broken a small piece, hurry up and continue bombarding. Before it recovers, break the remaining fragments together."
"Okay" the middle-aged man immediately agreed, and then he shouted: "All Ghost Kings should pay attention to it, input your energy into my energy ball, and try to explode this small space barrier at once, hurry up."
"Yes, Emperor" responded to the group of people, and then the sinkhole fell into silence, just like... the tranquility before the storm came.
…………
"Okay, the time is almost over." The engineer surnamed Chen clapped his hands with a smile, attracting the workers' attention, and then he spoke: "Everyone cleans up and prepares to start work."
"Okay" the workers smiled and responded to the words of the engineer named Chen. One of the workers even said: "Ms. Lin came here to give us midnight to midnight, so everyone has to sell their strength to try to fully penetrate the road before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Coax..." The workers burst into laughter, and some people shouted: "Sheep, melon seeds, do you still need to say this? Miss Lin already has a husband?"
"Hahaha..." A louder laughter echoed in the mountains in time.
When Lin Manni heard the jokes of the workers, she naturally couldn't have any annoyed because of such jokes. She smiled and was about to start talking to them and let their tense nerves relax a little, the Chinese pastoral dog that had been following her suddenly appeared strange.
"Wo Wang" It turned around, its green eyes stared at the small mound in front of it, its body in front was lying down, its sharp claws digging the soil anxiously, and it made a nervous bark.
Lin Manni looked at it in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
