NOVEL WEB Chapter 411: The Limit ( 1 )
This dam had a height of 20 meters and a diameter of 15 meters. The top width was around 5 meters. Based on the cylindrical shape, this small dam should be able to hold around 3.53 million liters of water at full capacity.
What made this dam usable was the fact that it was built indoors. With a rooftop sheltering the dam, they didn't have to worry that the water would be polluted by the acid rain.
At this moment, the dam was empty, as it had just been drained and cleaned. The researchers were checking if it was free of the zombie virus and safe for usage.
When they entered the area, the guards had already learned about their visit from Wen Hanli. So, when they noticed the Phantom Team's emblem pinned on their clothes, the guards welcomed them with a smile.
Seeing this, the other water-type ability-users who were filling the water tanks looked at them with curiosity. Despite their high rank, not many people knew about the Phantom Team, thanks to how low-key they were.
Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan looked around for a moment before a guard walked over.
He saluted them and said, "Captain Jin, Comrade Jiao, we have received the order from the Vice Commander to lead the two of you to the dam. This way, please."
Jiao Lizhi nodded at the guard and asked, "Comrade, has the base checked the dam? Is it free from the zombie virus?"
"For now, we are still waiting for the result of the test. So, we can only use the water tanks to hold water. When we get the result, we will use the dam directly," the soldier replied.
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi thought for a moment and said, "Comrade, can I go inside the dam?"
The soldier didn't think that there was anything inappropriate about her request. So, he nodded and said, "Of course."
They walked for fifteen minutes before they reached the top of the dam. Standing near the ladder, the soldier said, "Comrade Jiao, you can use this ladder to go down and have a look."
Jiao Lizhi nodded and walked to the edge of the dam. She looked around for a moment and, without hesitation, she jumped down directly.
Seeing this, the soldier was taken aback. But before he could say a word, Jin Xuyan followed his fiancée and jumped down, too. The two of them slid down the wall of the dam and landed lightly at the bottom.
Standing at the bottom of the dam, Jiao Lizhi squatted down and gathered some sand before she put it into her space. Then, she observed the sand in her space for a while.
When she was sure that there was no zombie virus on the sand, she raised her hand and created a massive water ball. Besides using her energy to create the water, she added some of her space's pond water into the water ball.
Standing at the top of the dam, the soldiers watched them curiously.
"Brother, what are they doing down there?" one of the soldiers asked the one showing the way to Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan.
Hearing his question, the soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Let's wait and see."
Just after he finished his words, they heard the sound of water splashing coming from below.
Wush~ Splash!
Standing in the middle of the dam, Jiao Lizhi used her energy to control the water and washed the sand and dirt away. Besides cleaning the dirt, her pond water could remove a small amount of zombie virus, too. Using this to clean up the dam would increase the safety meter.
While she was busy cleaning the dam, the water-type ability-users were also watching her from the top of the dam. Seeing how easily she controlled the water, they were stunned.
Although water has no fixed form, it actually consumes a lot of energy to control the water like what Jiao Lizhi did. This was also the reason why they couldn't use their water to kill zombies.
Feeling curious, one of the ability-users asked, "Brother soldier, who is that woman?"
The soldier turned to the ability-user and replied, "That person is a member of the Phantom Team. The man beside her is the Captain and also her fiancée."
Hearing this, several ability-users looked at Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan with calculative gazes. As for the rest, they only felt awe and admiration toward them.
Most of them were survivors who managed to reach the Lin'an City Base thanks to the Phantom Team's help. Some of them were people they saved from the factory district.
Some of them were people who were evacuated from the survivor camps near the border, and the rest were people from the Capital.
By logic, they owed them a life-saving grace. But because the matter of evacuation was handled by the other members and Wei Ying's team, not many people knew about Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan.
Half an hour later, Jiao Lizhi finally finished washing the entire dam and stored the water ball into her space. The moment the water ball entered the space, it turned into black mist and was absorbed.
Using her consciousness to check the situation inside her space, Jiao Lizhi saw this and said, "Brother Yan, this dam is safe to use now."
Jin Xuyan nodded and asked, "Ah Zhi, are you planning to fill up this dam?"
Jiao Lizhi thought about her new energy pool and said, "After I broke through to Level Two, I feel that the amount of my energy increased by several folds. Brother Yan, I want to test it out and see how much water I can produce before I run out of energy."
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to be careful."
"I have water-type crystal cores with me to replenish my energy, and I will stop when I reach my limit," Jiao Lizhi said with a smile.
