Chapter 244: Back To The Tunnel
Dropping his 7th load of weapons into the store room, Lake was about to go out again when he decided he should go see if the list was finally done. He hadn't gone to look in three trips so there was a good chance they had been done with it for a while. Stepping into the room Wezz had been making the list in Lake looked and saw he wasn't writing.
"Are you done?" The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin
"Yes, but it isn't really up to date since you've done so much already." Lake didn't see the problem and said. "I know what I've brought in already, I'll just mark it off myself." His intelligence was over 100 and had been for a while and while his memory wasn't anywhere near perfect he had kept a record of what he had brought in.
Taking the list from Wezz and marking off everything he remembered he was left with a few weird weapons that he was yet to see and a couple more bows. He had only found 3 bows so far and the people here needed 6 more. It was fine though he could find them using Detector so it wasn't really an issue especially if he dropped his desired level down a bit.
"Ok I'll be back with the rest shortly." Bows didn't weigh much and weren't that big so it didn't matter if he carried everything they needed back at once. Walking outside Lake was about to set Detector to look for bows over level 25 when he realized he could just set it to look for the things on his list.
Detector took that as a valid setting and Lake cast Fly to head to an area he hadn't been to yet. Once he made it away from the base a bit he realized the list didn't specify level so he went ahead and changed Detectors settings again so it worked the way he wanted it to.
Landing to pick up the first bow, Lake moved and grabbed a hammer from a body nearby. Walking down the street he saw something he had been waiting for for a while. "A knife finally." It seemed people didn't spend their money on nice knives for whatever reason. The reach advantage was real so long things like swords and spears were the most common melee weapons so it made sense that was what people spent their money on.
It was a good thing to be ready though so Lake didn't plan to ease him anymore other than by telling him. "I'll come back in two hours, if you get attacked you just need to hold out, don't try anything, just defend." Two hours was about as long as he wanted to dig at a time so it would be a nice time to take a break anyway.
"If he came every two hours the chance something catastrophic would happen to them was very low even if they were attacked. Flying towards the elevator shaft, Lake saw the water spilling out of his tunnel had gotten worse than it was earlier when he left and wondered if the pipe had cleared its blockage.
It was fine if it had because he could just block it again but he was a bit worried about the fact that it was really noticeable if anyone was using the elevator shaft like he was. They would be able to notice the stream of water and follow it to his tunnel. He didn't think it had happened because what were the chances but he didn't like that his tunnel was so obvious.
Flying inside Lake went to the place where he had accidentally cut his way into the pipe and saw it wasn't where the water was coming from. Going back a bit and continuing where he had dug yesterday he saw water was seeping out of the natural stone walls he had dug through yesterday.
With this much water coming through the ground he was pretty sure it meant he was close to the surface and that it was raining or had rained in the last few hours. He wasn't sure how long it took for water to sink into the ground like this but looking at the places that it was coming through and seeing the small cracks he was sure it wouldn't take that long.
If it had been stone that had no faults like the stuff he had been digging through earlier in the process of the tunnel he was sure there wouldn't be any water leaking through. Starting up Lake quickly realized he needed to be careful as he was digging because he felt wet ground was probably heavier and more prone to collapse.
All it would probably take was one cut into something that had wet dirt above it and he would get a nice lesson in what not to do while digging straight up. "Maybe I should wait till it stops raining." He had been here for a few days already and it didn't seem to rain here very often so there was no reason not to wait it out.
It would let him return to the base and watch over Wezz's people too so it was kind of like a win-win for everybody. Before he left though he needed to try to deal with the water and he had a plan. If he dug a tunnel above the water pipe he had blocked he could allow the water leaking out the walls fall down into it and all he would have to do is make a small barrier in his tunnel so the water wouldn't be able to go into the elevator shaft.
After a few minutes Lake backed off and looked at the small tunnel he had dug and the curved barrier he had made with the stones that would make the water take the path that would let it drain into the hole he had made in the top of the pipe. None of it was perfect but it was stopping most of the water and that was all he wanted.
