After three bolts of lightning without rain, the sky still held stars, and everyone thought they were experiencing a dry thunderstorm, unlikely to be followed by rain.
However, just after they had walked about a mile, another flash of lightning tore through the sky, followed by pouring rain, which sent Boss Lu running back with his head covered in terror.
Fortunately, the lightning was confined to the sky and did not strike the ground, so there were no casualties.
"Boss, something's off about tonight," Hu Sanchuan said. "Do we have to call off the operation now?"
There was a hint of regret in Hu Sanchuan's tone—he was lamenting the perfect route they had painstakingly plotted out, and now it seemed that all their long hours of digging were about to be ruined by the rain.
"With rain like this, how can we go on!" Boss Lu said irritably, standing at the cave entrance, looking up to see the bizarre lightning and heavy rain that plagued the night.
