More than two hours passed without anyone noticing; the temperature began to rise, but the fish situation remained unimproved. A bunch of grown men hadn't caught much, only Liu Zi, with some luck, switched to a thinner line and caught a carp weighing about two ounces.
Just as everyone was calculating that with the sun rising and the temperature increasing, the fish might bite better, suddenly the roar of the water pump's operation echoed from the inside of the water station.
"Damn! They're starting to pump water!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but complain upon hearing the noise.
Meng Fan said, "Before the waterway is completely cut off, they still have to pump water at set times every day, but the pumping duration is only half of what it used to be! Two hours during the day, two hours at night!"
