Deep underground, these members, dressed in black trench coats with cold, stern eyes, wore badges of the half-decayed World Tree embroidered on the collars of their coats.
These people were members of the Executive Bureau personally trained by Genjiro. Each of them was capable of taking on a hundred opponents. They were proficient in driving, knife skills, cooking, excavator operation, and mechanical repair, among other things.
Their mission to guard this place tonight is to ensure the Sky Tree functions properly.
But the person in charge looked solemn.
He stared at the ravaged lines before him, feeling like a kitten facing a ball of yarn, his mind almost numb.
Even when faced with the most terrifying, out-of-control hybrids, he had never been this flustered.
Repairing these lines and getting them working again was an incredibly difficult task, but to ensure the mission's success, he had to unleash the full potential of his team.
To be honest, the emergency repairs that took about ten minutes actually saved them a lot of time.
Although the repairs weren't completely successful—the power to the entertainment facilities on the first-floor observation deck had been forcibly shut off, leaving only the exterior of the Sky Tree and the lights on the Sky Bridge illuminated—it at least temporarily kept the Sky Tree lit. The trade-off was that the Sky Tree's wiring would suffer widespread short circuits in the future, indefinitely extending the repair time. However, the situation was urgent; the Sky Tree had to be lit up tonight, so this was the only option.
Moreover, repairs afterward are a piece of cake; the Snake Clan can definitely afford the money and manpower.
But the real problem is that it might ruin the family princess's romance.
The person in charge wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking to himself that he had finally lived up to the director's trust and fulfilled his mission.
But not long after, one of his subordinates rushed over and told him some devastating news.
That is, after searching the entire base of the Sky Tree, no spare diesel fuel was found.
My God, are you kidding me?
Without diesel as an energy source, even if all the lines are repaired, electricity cannot be generated. Without electricity, even if you transfuse his blood, you cannot make the Sky Tree light up.
The person in charge thought about it a lot. Perhaps it was due to the stability of diesel fuel, which could not be stored for a long time. Over time, it would cause various parts of the generator set to deteriorate, or it might just be the right time to replace the diesel fuel.
Regardless of the reason, there wasn't a single drop of diesel fuel in the generator.
In the past, running out of diesel fuel would have been a piece of cake. The Sheqi Eight Families could simply make a phone call and all the nearby gas stations would quickly deliver a tank of diesel. But now, with the torrential rain and flooded roads, unless a god could bring over two tanks of diesel, everyone would be left helpless.
However, it's far from time to despair.
The team members just discovered a gas station not far from here with plenty of diesel fuel. Although they can't transport it here, they can bring some of the diesel fuel in small buckets, which is quite reminiscent of the story of the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains.
For such a large generator set, the consumption of these barrels of diesel is like a drop in the ocean. It's like a giant quickly drinking a cup of milk tea with a large straw; the diesel will be consumed at a visible rate.
Because the entire Sky Tree relies on these combined lights to create that awe-inspiring and dazzling effect of burning like a torch in the dark night, these lights consume more than 70% of the electricity. So, the amount of diesel fuel delivered by manpower would probably only be enough to fill the gap between the teeth of this steel giant.
But this was the only option available.
Although they are not gods, they are determined to do what only gods can do. Moreover, they are not fighting alone; with dozens of brothers working together, they refuse to believe it!
Regardless of the outcome, they will do their best.
Making this Sky Tree light up for one minute, ten minutes, half an hour... every extra minute is an unprecedented victory.
So, under the leader's passionate slogans, the members rushed to the nearest gas station one by one.
Many members couldn't run in the waist-deep water, so they plunged in and swam. Surprisingly, they were three or four times faster. The other members followed suit and quickly moved forward.
"Sakura, how's it going at Skytree? Crow just reported that they'll be there in ten minutes at most."
Genjiro's deep voice came through the headphones.
Sakura stood on the fence, looking down at the members who were frantically swimming in the floodwater.
His lips twitched slightly, but he still spoke in an extremely calm tone: "When they arrive, the Sky Tree will be lit up as promised."
"very good."
A very satisfied voice came from the other end of the phone.
……
At this moment, a speedboat is rapidly approaching on the river, more than ten kilometers away from the Sky Tree.
As the rain intensified, the roads became flooded, and many cars were floating on the water.
Fortunately, the people inside the car had already crawled out and rushed to nearby high ground, so the river was covered with the remains of the car.
A large crowd had gathered on the high ground, all watching as a speedboat passed by.
Moreover, the crow acts as a bodyguard on the speedboat, and the yaksha wearing sunglasses acts as the speedboat driver. Lin Ye and Erii on the speedboat are clearly the real protagonists.
The couple were dressed formally, looking like they were going on a date.
Moreover, judging from the direction the speedboat was heading, it should be heading towards the Sky Tree. Because of the tower's great size, the Sky Tree was completely dark at the moment, like a dim and colorless giant standing between heaven and earth.
As reported in the news, the Sky Tree has been closed early due to the heavy rain, and the Sky Tree itself is also damaged. So even if you go there now, you won't be able to see the dreamlike and dazzling Sky Tree.
Many couples on the highlands were also preparing to head there for a romantic date, but due to the torrential rain, they were temporarily stranded on the highlands, and even if they left soon, they would not be able to go to the Sky Tree.
Because even if I went there, I wouldn't find the romance I wanted.
So when I saw Lin Ye and Erii still insisting on going, I thought to myself that this couple must be out of their minds. No matter how much they want romance, they can't just rush over like idiots!
We can wait until the rain stops and the Sky Tree is repaired before going.
Rushing over there like an idiot at this point would really make you look stupid.
But for Lin Ye, true romance doesn't need to follow a fixed set of rules. As long as he's happy, he might be drinking spicy soup in the East one day and feeding pigeons in a church square abroad the next day. It's all about doing whatever he wants.
Since Erii wants to go to Skytree, why deny it? Or why not wait, wait for the rain to stop, wait for Skytree to be repaired, wait for everything to happen, before jumping into that cold red well to save her?
That would be truly tragic!
In Lin Ye's view, it seemed futile to go and witness a tower that might never light up in the pitch-black storm, but he insisted on taking Erii there. It wasn't stupidity; it was his vow!
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, he will never give up on Erii!
Because she's his girl!
Chapter 103 Mutual Reliance
"Wow!"
The girl gasped.
The joy that couldn't be hidden amidst the cheers.
Erii excitedly took out her notebook and wrote: "Lin Ye, look ahead! The Sky Tree is really lit up!"
The dazzling light illuminated the girl's beautiful and passionate face.
Lin Ye also saw this scene and smiled with satisfaction.
"Lin Ye, wasn't the Sky Tree supposed to be broken? How come it's still lighting up?"
"Because this is a gift from the gods."
"Um!"
……
Wow!
The rain roared across the land, and the night sky transformed into a pitch-black sea.
However, under the pale white lightning, the conical sky tree glowed with fluorescence. Standing beneath the sea of clouds, it resembled an elevator that traveled through time and space, its magnificent brilliance shining in the darkness even through the wind and rain.
"Eri, let's go over there."
Lin Ye said to the girl.
"Um!"
Erii's face was full of eagerness.
Lin Ye bent down slightly and hugged the girl tightly.
As if embarking on an unprecedented journey through time, Lin Ye's resolve was firm. He was determined to take Erii on a journey through a future fraught with tragedy, to change the predetermined fate.
As Lin Ye passed by Yaksha and Crow, he whispered, "Thank you both."
Then he turned around and led Erii toward the Sky Tree, which shone brightly in the darkness.
Lin Ye looked up at the Sky Tree, which shone like a torch, and an unparalleled fighting spirit ignited in his heart. He suddenly felt that this time he had transmigrated, as if it truly contained a mission from the depths of his being. This mission told him that he was to protect the girl he loved most, and that girl was Erii.
For a time, the wind and rain raged fiercely.
Lin Ye, carrying Erii, waded through the puddles towards the Sky Tree. At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on them.
The crow was completely stunned as it watched the boy's retreating figure.
He felt that at this moment, Lin Ye was emanating an aura that touched him.
"Waaaaah, Sbalashi, Sbalashi..."
However, just as the crow was feeling sentimental, the sound of a woman crying and sobbing came from the side.
Turning around, the crow's face immediately darkened.
The tall, burly Yaksha covered his mouth tightly with his hand, tears streaming from his rough eyes, looking like a lovesick fool.
The crow knew it shouldn't upset the Yaksha at this moment, so he braced himself and patted the Yaksha on the shoulder to comfort him.
It would have been better if the shot hadn't been taken at all; the moment it was taken, it felt like it hit Yaksha's G-spot, and he immediately hugged the crow and burst into tears.
If Lin Ye's unwavering conviction represented his mission, then a similar battle was raging in the basement of the Sky Tree. The elite members of the Snake Clan were working feverishly. Don't misunderstand, not that kind of work. Each of them was carrying diesel drums, transporting them one by one into the generator set.
The diesel fuel is like the blood in the veins of this steel giant. It's as if the giant is constantly losing blood, and they are working hard to continuously pump blood into the giant's veins to keep the giant alive.
It is thanks to their efforts that the Sky Tree can shine again in the darkness and uphold the romance in the hearts of boys and girls.
We are currently on the observation deck of the Skytree.
The second-floor observation deck overlooks the sky corridor.
Erii's stunning beauty makes her look like an elf hopping and skipping on the glass walkway, appearing extremely adorable.
Maintaining the basic illumination of the Sky Tree had already required the members in the basement to give their all, resulting in the closure of all entertainment facilities on the first-floor observation deck, including the shopping mall. Furthermore, given Lin Ye and Erii's arrangements, they didn't actually need to play around in those malls. Their main purpose was to reach the highest point, the Tenbou Corridor, to stand there and experience the breathtaking scenery.
So Lin Ye didn't waste any time. He took Erii directly to the Tenbou Corridor. At this moment, the girl looked at the scenery below her feet, and her little mouth kept exclaiming in surprise.
Because the glass walkway is semi-transparent, looking down is like standing on the edge of a cliff, with the neon lights of Tokyo shimmering, creating a sea of light. And in the girl's beautiful, ruby-like eyes, a constant sparkle of joy shone.
Erii suddenly realized that appreciating the city from this angle possessed an indescribable, breathtaking beauty. Under the lights, the wind ruffled the girl's long red hair and the hem of her white dress. Erii felt like a princess from a fairy tale who had stepped out of her castle and into the real world, filled with curiosity and wonder at everything there.
Behind the princess, a handsome boy followed silently. Seeing the girl's happy expression, a warm smile appeared on the boy's face, like a knight protecting a princess. And to Lin Ye, he was more than just a knight; when the princess faced danger, he would also transform into a powerful king to protect his beloved girl.
