The rain poured continuously, and lightning occasionally struck the island, sometimes right beside them. Yet, no one backed down. Everyone worked together, moving much faster than Dilan could alone. The drainage channel was quickly completed, and Dilan directed the water flow towards their beach, where the terrain was lower.
Dilan suddenly thought of the kiln's exhaust vent, which had no protection, allowing rainwater to enter directly.
Dilan gathered clumps of shrubs and piled them over the exhaust vent, creating a similar drainage channel beside it.
The exhaust vent was much smaller than the kiln, so it was quickly finished.
"Are you crazy!"
Just as Dilan returned to the camp, Ashley rushed over and punched him in the chest. She didn't hold back, nearly knocking the wind out of him.
