Number One Ugly Husband

70. Too Cruel (2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

He was worrying about his foster father. The shield set by Dongling Ce could only shield them from the lightning and tornadoes, but the flood would get into their dorms as well. He wished the words he spoke to Zhou Xiaochuan could be heard and considered by them.

Alas, why didn’t his foster father tell him how did they endure the flood?

Bao Ye thought for a while and said, “What we can do now is to prepare couples of wooden staircases.”

“What? Wooden staircases?” They were all confused, “Why do we need that?”

Bao Ye didn’t explain much. They would know it when it was the time.

The rain was too heavy to be described. The water level rose as tall as the second floor of the building in just half a day.

The slaves all moved to the second floor, but not for a while, the flood covered the second floor.

After one night, the whole Upper World was turned into an ocean. All the buildings, trees were all covered by the flood. The slaves who could swim floated on the water with the one who couldn’t and the kids.

“Too cruel.” The slaves couldn’t help to cry out, “The gods are too cruel, they are too cruel, how can we live on this world? Where can we live?”

The slaves were all sad and desperately cried.

Even though they can float on the water for days, but without food, they would die as well.

The top slaves with power were also helpless.

“Shit, what should I do?” Tian Wang floated on the top of the top slave dorm in Southern District. He beat the water angrily, “We can’t stay in the water all the time!”

Yu Yi thought for a second and looked at the City of Joy where the slave owners lived, it was the only place free from the flood in the City Arrow. “Can we get into the City of Joy?”

Cheng Tao sneered, “Do you think it possible? We are unlike boss Lu, he works there, but we are not. They won’t let us in. The shield must be set long ago to shield us slaves out.”

Tian Wang said, “What if we dive in the water and cut down some trees for people to sit on?”

Cheng Tao agreed, “Good idea, what do you think of it, Boss?”

Jin Lingrui narrowed his eyes.

At that time, Pu He swam in front of them and uttered, “Boss…”

“Pu He, don’t say it.” Tang Kaiji caught up with him in a hurry.

Jin Lingrui looked over Tang Kaiji and asked, “Pu He, what do you want to say?”

“Pu He, you can’t say it!” Tang Kaiji shouted at Pu He angrily.

Pu He was also pissed off, “Do you want to see everyone die here?”

Tang Kaiji’s complex darkened, “I just don’t trust his words.”

Tian Wang glared at them, “Say it quick, we’re going to cut down the trees, don’t you see the kids and the old are dying?”

Pu He let Tang Kaiji alone and said rapidly, “Boss, we heard the ugly slave telling Zhou Xiaochuan of the Northern District that Mr. Dongling set a disaster shield on his construction site, I think we can go there.

Yu Yi and his fellows were stunned, “Really?”

Tang Kaiji spoke in a haste, “The ugly slave must be boasting. We all know him a blowhard.”

Tian Wang didn’t trust the ugly slave, either, “Kaiji is right, Boss, let’s cut down the trees.”

Tang Kaiji continued, “We are far from their site, it costs us over half a day to get there. What if he was lying? Our efforts will be wasted.”

Pu He replied, “What if he was telling the truth? We will be saved!”

“…” Tian Wang hated the ugly slave a lot. But seeing the slaves crying around, he couldn’t deny the opportunity of being saved.

So did Tang Kaiji.

Jin Lingrui decided, “We’ll go there first to check if it is true, if it isn’t, we will cut the trees near the City of Joy.

No one dared to deny his decision.

Jin Lingrui led the people in the Southern District to swim to the construction site, when they saw other slaves on their way there, they called them to go together.

Gradually, the initial team of thousand people grew in to ten times.

The slaves followed were all trust Jin Lingrui, they followed him without asking where they were heading for.

After swimming for a long time, they met the teams led by Boss Ji in the Northern District and Boss Chu in the Eastern District. Their teams were both huge.

Boss Ji greeted Jin Lingrui first, “Boss Jin, are you heading to the construction site?”

Jin Lingrui nodded and continued swimming.

Boss Ji turned to Chu Qiang, “Boss Chu, are you go there too?”

Chu Qiang replied frankly, “My wife said there is a flood shield on Mr. Dongling’s construction site.”

On hearing this, Yu Yi and Tian Wang looked at each other for a second: it seemed that the ugly slave told the truth.

They continued swimming. When they approached the construction site, from a distance, they saw a huge deep pit surrounded with water, but the water couldn’t get in.
