Like so, many worked hard to clear the path. Thanks to the strange Baymardian equipment, they could scan what the front insides of the cave looked like, seeing where it started and how much soil had to be removed before reaching the cave's mouth.
Of course, the volunteers and everyone else working didn't know how the Baymardians knew so much.
All in all, the city provided 40 barrels of black powder, which was strategically placed across several hard-to-dig areas.
And soon...
BOOM!
The hardened soil was softened, with chunks flying into the air.
The air was cold, but everyone was feeling hot.
With how rigorous their job was, the work sweaters they wore at the start were already causing their armpits to soak.
Some even took off their sweaters, drowning their faces with water from their bottles.
Tsk.
It was times like these that they prayed for rain. Not heavy rain, but light drizzling rain.
