Chapter 786 Exploring the Water Source
"Oh! Did the camera capture the murderer? Has he been caught?"
Ripple asked curiously.
"Nothing was captured, only footage of the two debugging the scene was recorded."
Yuan Chongming shook his head and said.
"These two people are really interesting. They want to install cameras at home. Is it possible?"
Lianyi raised her eyebrows deliberately, but even Yuan Chongming understood the rest of the words.
"No, they seem to be saying that they have an appointment with you tonight, and they want to catch you!"
Yuan Chongming said.
"If they want to catch me, I have to give them something to catch! As for making an appointment with me, I never said I was going to keep it. It's just their own passion.
But I didn't expect how the two of them could get together, a scientific researcher and a person who makes a living by selling himself. "
Lianyi said pointedly.
"How did you know?"
Yuan Chongming was indeed a little surprised.
"She and I met yesterday, but I didn't know that it was my Xuanfeng who smelled it, and Xuanfeng also said that Mu Mianmian smelled of other males, and it was also mixed with a smell that he hated most.
Now I understand what Hayate means by the most annoying smell. It should be referring to Yonikolong. "
Lianyi spread his hands and said.
"Meow!" Cat owner, you are using my name to fool others again.
Lianyi didn't care and ruffled the short hair on Xuanfeng's head, then looked at Yuan Chongming with a smile.
Yuan Chongming coughed slightly, he really couldn't refute.
Because the weather is hot now, just go out and you will be covered in stinky sweat, and water resources are so tight, there are really no people who can really scrub every day, so everyone has a smell, but everyone is the same, so Don't dislike anyone. This makes sense. Tornado's nose is really sensitive.
"I come here to tell you this for no other reason. I just hope that you will be more careful and don't get caught. Although it is a natural disaster now, order is slowly being restored. You will still have to live among the crowd in the future."
Yuan Chongming said in a sincere tone.
"I know, I'll be careful."
Lianyi didn't think that the other party was meddling in other people's business. After all, it was for her own good. The two of them had a tacit understanding. Yuan Chongming sat for a while and then left.
The next two days were uneventful. After all, in this weather, it is normal for people to die from heat and drink every day. Therefore, the deaths of Mu Mianmian and Mi Zilong did not cause any splash, and there was no autopsy. This matter naturally passed without a trace.
Three days later, the vanguard team took over the mission again, this time they went to find water.
Ripple actually doesn't want to run away, because the extremely hot weather has entered the last month, and there will be a major earthquake after that. The trend of the underground river will change. After the ground is deformed, new lakes or ditches will be formed. Then the water problem will be solved. It would be resolved, but it was hard for her to say this clearly.
I just reminded Yuan Chongming before leaving, and the excuse was the same as before.
"Xianfeng has been very anxious in the past few days. Yesterday he started to scratch me, but I avoided it with my quick eyesight. If animals are so irritable, something must have happened. We have a mission to leave. We can't take Jiayao and the Liu family with us. You It’s best to remind them to leave their residence as soon as possible if anything goes wrong.”
"Meow~" Cat owner, when did I scratch you?
Xuanfeng tilted his head and looked at Ripple, with doubts in his cat eyes. Ripple felt guilty and patted the other party's head to comfort him.
"Okay, I will remind Uncle Liu and Aunt Xu that before leaving, I will prepare a small backpack for Jiayao and put some emergency things in it, and put it within his reach. If something happens, he can evacuate immediately. .”
Yuan Chongming said thoughtfully after hearing this, obviously attaching great importance to Lianyi's reminder.
"In this current environment, it's best to be fine. I'm just worried about what might happen. But these are all my guesses. You can refer to them."
Ripple said with a smile.
"I understand, we are friends, otherwise there is no need for you to remind me."
Yuan Chongming was still grateful. He told Lianyi about the departure time of the mission, and then returned to his residence to make preparations before leaving.
The next day, all nine members of the team gathered together again. This time they found a van that could accommodate everyone. This time the driver was Sun Zhou.
"This time we went to the Shenshan Mountains, where there is snow all year round. With such a high temperature now, the snow melts, so there should be water flowing down. But it has been hot for two and a half months now, and there is no melted snow water at all. So we were sent to check it out.”
After Situ Yi got in the car, he introduced the contents of the mission in detail.
After hearing this, Lianyi also thought about it in her mind. Logically speaking, Qimu City should not be short of water. After all, it is backed by the Shenshan Mountains. She was worried that after the high temperature continued, floods would submerge Qimu City in the basin again, but so A long time passed, but there was no movement. She was also very curious.
After everyone made clear their mission, they headed towards the Shenshan Mountains, and Tang Tianming interrupted at this time:
"There seem to be nomadic people living below the mountains here. I don't know what happened to them."
"Didn't they retreat to a safe location?"
Zhao Jia asked directly.
"I don't know about that."
"There are indeed people living there, and they are ethnic minorities. Their numbers are not large. People were arranged to come here before, but they were self-sufficient, so they did not move to a safe place. They think it is safer here."
As the deputy captain, Situ Yi was a serious military policeman, so he knew better.
"Then let's find them first, and then let them take us into the sacred mountain. This will be safer."
Yuan Chongming said that he never fights an unprepared battle and is responsible for his team members.
"Okay, I dealt with them last time. If I can talk to them, it should be no problem."
After temporarily formulating the direction of action, everyone closed their eyes and meditated in the car. The journey from the temporary base to the sacred mountain was not a matter of one or two days, but at least two days of walking.
After two days and two nights of trekking, the group finally arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain. As they got closer and closer to the sacred mountain, they felt the long-lost coolness.
"As expected of a snowy mountain, I finally feel a bit of coolness."
Zhao Jia said excitedly.
"Don't be greedy for the cold. It's better to add some clothes. The weather is too hot and the pores of the body are opening to dissipate heat. If it suddenly gets cold at this time, the body will be overwhelmed and it is easy to catch a cold."
Ripple reminded.
"Understood, I brought long-sleeved clothes before coming here."
Zhao Jia said immediately, and then began to look through his backpack.
Half an hour later, everyone had changed into long clothes and long trousers. They felt just right and were very comfortable.
This time it was Situ Yi who led the way. After walking for a while, he stopped and looked around.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Chu Hong asked.
"Why are the people who used to live around here gone?"
"Are you sure you're not looking in the wrong place?"
Sun Zhou asked carelessly.
"It's the main road to the Shenshan Mountains, so you shouldn't go wrong."
