My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 141: The Sanctuary of Green Shadow with Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers
Next to the construction site, Yang Wei held a shovel, silently waiting.
Suddenly, the group leader charged towards them and said, "Everyone step back a bit, a little more, keep moving back."
Yang Wei, along with the other survivors, stepped back again and again, but looked towards their group leader with some confusion.
The leader of the seventh group seemed to notice their bewilderment and pointed in the distance, "Oh, the expert who has come to help has arrived."
Expert?
Yang Wei hurriedly looked over and saw a strange person in armor, walking into the center of the area that needed to be excavated.
At that time, he heard someone ask, "Leader, we seem to have never seen this expert before. Is he really that strong? With his help, can we finish excavating all the foundations in this area within one day?"
"It's normal that you haven't seen him; I've only seen him once or twice myself," the leader replied with a chuckle. "As for how strong he is, I'm not sure, but I know he often follows Director Tang around. I have heard some legends that his strength might even surpass Captain Luo's."
"As for whether the work can be completed, there should be no problem. The upper echelons wouldn't issue a task that can't be finished."
The frequency of Awakener number one and number two taking action was getting less and less. In the Sanctuary, aside from the Patrol Team members, only those earliest survivors had the fortune to witness the power of these two Puppets.
Some speculated that number one and number two might not be human, but like the seventh group leader who was just an ordinary member of the construction team, his understanding of Green Shadow Sanctuary wasn't necessarily much more than that of newcomers like Yang Wei.
In their eyes, number one was a highly mysterious expert, and whether he was stronger than Captain Luo, he wasn't sure.
Yang Wei and the other survivors were even more skeptical. In the Sanctuary, the strongest person they had come into contact with was Captain Luo Zhe.

He also had the fortune to witness Luo Zhe in action. A Demonized Beast with a stature comparable to an armored vehicle, whose scales were even harder than steel plates, still couldn't last more than a few rounds in Captain Luo's hands.
Even just the aftermath of the fight had wreaked havoc around them; trees were broken, and the ground was left pockmarked and uneven.
Such power, such destructive force, was completely beyond his imagination.
He didn't quite believe that someone could be stronger than Captain Luo, yet what he wanted to know more was how this expert would quickly excavate the foundations.
"If it were demolition, these experts would certainly be very efficient, but to dig foundations..."
......
Elsewhere, Captain Chen and others were also puzzled, "What is he planning to do?"
"Dig foundations," Wang Zhou said nonchalantly.
"But how should they be dug?"
Captain Chen saw that the person didn't have any tools in his hands. Could it be he intended to dig by hand?
Even if it was a powerful Awakener, even one who had broken through that bottleneck, no matter how efficient they might be compared to an ordinary person, how much more could that efficiency increase?
At least, ordinary people were numerous, while such experts were rare animals. Using them for labor was a complete waste, and furthermore, he didn't think such experts would stoop to do the work of digging soil.
Suddenly.
Crack crack crack crack...
A series of crisp sounds came, and Captain Chen's eyes widened... There was no visible action from the person in the center, yet the ground beneath his feet cracked open inch by inch.
The spiderweb-like fissures spread outwards, and miraculously, when they reached the area marked with yellow lines on the ground, the spreading stopped abruptly.
At a glance, the cracked area of the ground perfectly outlined a rectangular section.
Merely through the pressure of his feet, he could cause the ground to crack?
Even Captain Chen was taken aback, "And he can even keep the cracking within the area that needs to be excavated. How on earth does he do it!"
Without a doubt, the Awakener clad in armor was a master, a supermaster!
Even those supermasters who had broken through to the Sixth Layer of Awakening could not easily cause such widespread cracking of the ground, let alone possess such terrifying control.
Closer by, Yang Wei and other survivors holding shovels finally understood why their leader had so insistently told them to back off just moments ago.
With this thought, suddenly he saw the armored master slowly lift his right foot.
Then he slammed it down with force.
Yang Wei held his breath, his eyes bulging wide.
Boom!
A deafening sound erupted.
The already cracked ground surface disintegrated in an instant, with countless stones flying upwards.
To onlookers, the figure of No. 1 had already vanished, but the sound of thuds filled their ears as numerous large rocks were sent flying, landing not far away to quickly form a small mountain.
Smaller fragments of rubble scattered in all directions, raining down around them as the yellow-brown dust cloud spread, causing Yang Wei and the other survivors to quickly cover their heads and retreat repeatedly.
As the dust slowly settled, the hazy figure of No. 1 revealed itself.
Still in the same form, the blue armor showed not even the slightest speck of dust, and upon closer inspection, the ground in this entire area had been dug out to the depth of precisely two meters.
Realizing what their task entailed, the whole group, led by their leader, quickly descended into the pit to remove some of the larger pieces of rock and took up spades to spread dirt and even out the surface of the hole.
By this time, No. 1 had already moved to another area.
The whole construction site was intermittently filled with the sound of rumbling.
Captain Chen had been stunned from the beginning, replaying the scene in his mind until Wang Zhou's chubby hand waved in front of his face...
"Hey, big brother, are you going to buy equipment or not? If not, I'm moving on to the next deal."
He snapped back to reality and followed Wang Zhou, witnessing bustling construction scenes along the way.
He saw a brawny man with a slicked-back hairstyle, his hands flat on the ground, and the next moment, with a blast like a bomb hitting, dirt flew high into the air. When the dust cleared, the spot where the brawny man stood had become a crater with a radius of four to five meters.
The sheer destructive power shook him to his core again.
But the man with the slicked-back hair, now covered in dust, looked from a distance like an African refugee, particularly because his originally shiny hair had been blown upright, transforming from a slicked-back style into a smart.
The smart strongman stood in front of a young man with his back to them, head bowed, looking utterly dejected.
Faintly,
Captain Chen could hear some words...
"Is this how you dig a foundation?"
"What kind of foundation is this?"
"What are we going to do about this hole now? It's your responsibility to fill it back in."
He felt somewhat bewildered.
This slicked-back... smart strongman was undoubtedly a top-notch master, and yet, if he wasn't mishearing, this person was now being scolded to the point of hanging his head in shame?
What sort of strength must the person chiding a master like him possess?
Could the Green Shadow Sanctuary really be such a den of hidden dragons and crouching tigers?
