Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 60: Breeze Blowing
At three o'clock in the morning, many people in Zaun were still awake and the sewage pipe project was still in progress.

This is very disturbing, really. There is a rumbling sound above the houses, and it is so loud, but no one will come out to complain.

No one even had any complaints.

Many Zaun people carried flashlights and took the initiative to act as light sources, helping with lighting and watching the project. There was food and water at their feet.

Whenever there was a shift change and someone who had not yet taken off his gas suit came out of the pipe, they would rush over, wash their bodies with water, and hand them food.

"It's almost done. In another hour, all the wastewater pipes in the sewer belt will be successfully converted."

In the house of the Lotus Gang, Wei said excitedly after waking up from a nap and preparing to work.

Although she was upset that Hilco was in the room, Wei endured it. After all, today was a big day!

Ike said, "We can prepare now, start the device, and then... see the results." There was a hint of trepidation in his voice when he spoke.

Heimerdinger, who was eating cakes nearby, said, "Don't worry, kid. Steady and steady is the best way to avoid problems."

"The root cause has been resolved, so the next thing to do is to deal with the family affairs."

Everyone chatted and waited for time to pass. Li Ke couldn't help but feel excited, not because Jinx was sleeping on him, but because he was also looking forward to the air in Zaun being purified.

This is the second biggest thing he has done since coming to this world.

And the first thing, of course, is that Li Ke believes that he has changed Jinx's future.

"Boss!"

Marsson's voice came from outside the house, and Li Ke stood up instantly. Jinx beside him said "Ah" and woke up after shaking her body.

"It's done, the sewer pipes are finished!"

Marsan rushed in excitedly and shouted.

Li Ke took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Let's go, Ike, start the device."

"You are the one who activates this device."

"Me?" Ike was stunned, then nodded vigorously: "I understand."

Two minutes later, the Lotus Gang stronghold.

In the location designated as the warehouse area, on the high platform, Ike flew to the front of the air purification device using the flying board.

Countless people gathered around, and in the front were Li Ke, Silko, Jinx, Wei, and Heimerdinger.
And further behind, there were Marsan, Manzu, Aunt Marna from the Hope Community, Uncle Kerr who sold fish, and so on.

Everyone looked at Ike with anticipation.

"Well, I'll press it." Facing the gazes of countless people, Ike felt his spine numb, and he took a deep breath and said loudly.

He can't afford to be stage fright.

Absolutely not.

"Press!" Li Ke nodded.

With Li Ke's consent, Ike reached out and twisted the device, then pressed a button, and then stepped backwards on the flying board.

"Boom!"

The air purification device made a loud noise, and a faint light could be seen burning and flowing in the hollow transparent part. Then, the Hexgem was constantly squeezed and rotated on the second layer, and the blue light shone all around.

Everyone saw it, the haze was being sucked in!

Under the blue light, the gray fog was visible to the naked eye, and the tiny particles in the air were no longer hidden. As Li Ke's clothes swayed, they were sucked towards the air purification device, and those tiny particles in the air were also sucked over.

"Buzz buzz!"

Ike was holding an instrument in his hand, which was an air monitoring meter made by Heimerdinger.

"19"

"Still 19."

Ike is reporting live from above.

Li Ke clenched his hands below, and Hilco even closed his eyes.

"It's moving, it's moving!"

Ike suddenly yelled, he looked at Li Ke with excitement on his face: "Boss, it's moving!"

"18.3, 17.2!"

"Still falling!"

"Boss, I'm 16!"

"The air index is 16!"

Ike yelled, completely losing his composure.

Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and Hilco opened his eyes.

The residents from the Hope community also cheered when they heard Ike's voice.

The air has not changed much, there are still many haze particles visible to the naked eye, and the smell is unpleasant and pungent, but all these are changing!

Ten minutes later, Li Ke, who was closest to the air purifier, moved his nose.

His five senses were far superior to those of ordinary people, so Li Ke was the first to smell the fresh scent.

Then, there's Jinx, whose sense of smell is also very sensitive, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to smell Caitlyn's scent on Vi.

"This air is different!" she said, jumping up. "Here it comes, the purified air is coming out!"

Five minutes later, members of the Lotus Gang and residents of the Hope community also smelled it.

“It’s really different!”

"I've smelled this in Piltover. Oh my god! Is this the air in our Zaun?"

"Goddess Janna, we succeeded!"

"It's true! The air smells so good!"

A hand patted Li Ke's shoulder, then placed it on Li Ke's shoulder. Li Ke tilted his head and looked at Hilco.

"Success." Hilco said calmly.

"Uncle, you should be happy now. It would be even better if you could have a good cry."

"I will never cry in my life."

"Okay, since you said you won't cry, then I won't cry." Li Ke didn't argue with Hillco.

Oh, when I marry Jinx, I'll see if you'll cry! "Li Ke."

Hilco said again.

"Ok?"

"From now on, Zaun is yours. You take care of the inside and I'll take care of the outside." Hilco suddenly said.

Sevika was right behind Silko. When she heard this, she frowned subconsciously, but soon relaxed again.

"Uncle, I'm in charge of the inside and you're in charge of the outside. That's fine. But, Zaan is not mine, it's ours. I've already said that you and I are different." Li Ke reached out and put his arm around Hilco's shoulders.

Hilco struggled for a moment, but then let Li Ke hold him.

Perhaps, he has indeed changed.

Because of Jinx, he has become more emotional.

The situation in front of him made Hilco a little discouraged at first, but then he became excited again when Li Ke hugged him.

No, not enough.

Zaun wants more.

Hilco's gaze gradually became firm.

"Although it was successful, it is not enough, Li Ke. I think I have to pour cold water on you." Heimerdinger said on the side.

"What we need to do next is to make more air purification devices as quickly as possible and place them everywhere."

"No problem, Professor."

"Is it really okay? Jinx only has a few hexgems left." Heimerdinger said.

"." Li Ke was speechless. He looked down at Heimerdinger and said, "Will you help me, Professor?"

"Well, let me think about it. If Ike and Jinx are willing to call me teacher, then I will consider it." He winked at Li Ke mischievously.

Li Ke made an OK gesture and said with a smile, "No problem, Professor. I will persuade Jinx to become your disciple."

"That's great." Heimerdinger said happily.

Li Ke looked at the air purification device and time passed by little by little.

But no one left. Everyone gathered around and breathed hard.

No one left until after six in the morning. Everyone excitedly gathered around Ike and listened to him read the air index.

Since around five o'clock, the air index has been maintained at 11.3, neither decreasing nor increasing. It seems that it will take a long time for the Lotus Gang to carry out large-scale purification.

Li Ke looked up and narrowed his eyes. Behind him, there was the voice of a Zaun person.

"What a pity. Today we are the only ones who can see it."

"Yes, if everyone can see it, then everyone who has worked hard all day will definitely be happy."

"It's okay. There will be another chance in the future. I plan to come back and take a look after I wake up. The air smells so good."

Li Ke listened to these voices with his eyes lowered.

Yes, now there is only the Lotus Gang, and I hope the community can enjoy it all.

But...it doesn't matter, everything will be fine, there will be more and more air purification devices, and Zaan will become better.

However, it is a pity that not all Zaun people could see this scene.

After all, there are still many people sleeping on the floor of the middle square. They don’t know what is happening in the Hope Community. If possible, Li Ke also wants them to see it with their own eyes.

Thinking of this, Li Ke suddenly paused.

Because the wind blew.

A cool and comfortable breeze blew from somewhere, sweeping across everyone present at the moment. Li Ke watched and saw that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a strong gale formed, whistling, and there was even a hint of green in it.

In a flash, Li Ke thought of something and his lips trembled.

"call--"

The strong wind blew up everyone's clothes, and Jinx had to hold down her two big balls with her hands, otherwise they would fall apart!
Hilco narrowed his eyes, his body bent down by the wind, and he was also surprised.

Is this also the function of the air purification device?
Such a strong wind?
The strong winds gathered and swirled, and many air particles disappeared and were swept into the strong winds, accompanied by haze and poisonous gas, and suddenly rolled upwards and rushed into the sky.

That wind, like a sharp sword, pierced through the gloomy sky of Zaun. Stronger and stronger winds blew across the entire Zaun, carrying with them the haze and breaking through the gloom.

The sun appeared in the ditch area. Although it appeared very little due to the terrain, the sunlight was so dazzling that everyone looked over.

That's sunshine.

The ditch zone sees sunlight, but what about the middle square?

That place is higher and bigger, so naturally you can see more.

Li Ke raised his head and looked at the sky.

The lips moved, making a sound -

"Thank you Janna."

Li Ke said subconsciously.

Because there will be no strong winds in Zaun, the terrain of Zaun is too bad!

This kind of thing is not something that can be done by human power, so the only person Li Ke can think of is Janna.

"It doesn't matter--"

A voice suddenly resounded in Li Ke's mind, it was ethereal, sacred, gentle and loving.
Then, a gentle breeze blew, like a hand caressing Li Ke's face, and then, Li Ke felt a warm touch on his face.

It seemed to be a human kiss, and it was kissed on his forehead.

He stared blankly ahead, but could see nothing.

A voice sounded in my mind.
"I've been keeping an eye on you guys—"

"Look, Li Ke."

"Its daybreak."

Li Ke raised his head.

Squinted his eyes,
Because the sun is really dazzling.
