When Han Yu woke up, it was already three in the afternoon.
The breach from yesterday afternoon was gone, and a newly built levee appeared in front of him, wider and taller than before.
The Jingzhou Flood Control Command's rollers were compressing the levee back and forth, and the water-facing side of the levee slope was reinforced with bamboo and sandbags.
Excavator No. 1 had been fitted with an extended arm and was clearing silt from the semicircular large pond at the cofferdam.
The two dump trucks were busier than before, first transporting the soil dug by Excavator No. 2 to refill the cleared silt area, then transporting the silt cleared by Excavator No. 1 down the levee to backfill the deep pits left by previous soil extraction.
The soldiers of the 132nd regiment were still filling sandbags. Next, they planned to build a sandbag wall on the safer, non-water-facing side to prevent landslides.
The safety zone was about the size of a soccer field.
