The debris clearance process in Pengcheng was proceeding extremely smoothly, and the officials were thrilled, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the convoy from Kyoto.
As time passed, what was once a light drizzle gradually intensified, along with the gusty wind, making it incredibly challenging for the survivors to carry out their tasks outside.
Seeing the weather conditions, the officials could only instruct the streets to halt all non-essential activities, allowing the survivors to rest at home temporarily and resume work after the torrential rain ceased.
However, while everyone was resting at home, no one expected that the rapidly increasing rainfall would flood the uninhabited underground refuge center within a matter of days.
Since everyone was indoors escaping the rain, this situation wasn't noticed, hence the impending flood crisis was not known.
