The cleanup went much faster than Bai Yaoyao had expected. Within four or five days, the standing water had receded. Some of it had evaporated as temperatures shot up.
But the main reason was that, after Sun Weixing took over the base, infrastructure had been his biggest priority.
He had put plenty of work into defensive security, drainage, and earthquake protection. After all, no one knew what the next day of the apocalypse would bring.
Bai Yaoyao's opinion of Sun Weixing rose another notch.
The only pity was that the vegetable plots at the foot of Back Mountain had been completely ruined. The cabbages that had been almost ready to harvest were gone, too.
It wasn't just the vegetable plots. The entire base was a mess.
The heavy rain had caused a landslide on Back Mountain. Fortunately, everyone had been evacuated beforehand, but ten or twenty single-story houses had been completely destroyed.
When Sun Weixing assigned people to clear the debris, Bai Yaoyao said, "How long will it take if you send ordinary people? Get earth ability users to do it. And for the water you can't drain, get water ability users."
Sun Weixing's eyes were opened at once.
Very few ability users at Dark Night Base felt superior to everyone else, and they didn't think it was beneath them to do work that required little skill.

Everyone felt a strong sense of belonging to the base, so they all pitched in. With ability users taking the lead, progress was swift.
Dark Night had long since agreed to head out hunting as soon as they could leave. Zhi Yi and the others were bored out of their minds,
