Chapter VI Water Sources

I didn't understand where the danger came from, she explained that the water here was all spring water from the mountains, which was piped down into the basement.

In other words, it is easy for fire phosphors to enter the basement along the steel pipe when the villagers are fetching water, and then attack people!

Strange, drinking water should be dangerous if you say this, so why have no villagers been attacked in half a year?

Kwan explained that there is a concrete pool at the spring below the mountain, and a steel pipe at the bottom of the pool is connected to a simple water purifier.

This water purifier is made of steel plates, and the holes are so small that they can't get in.

She felt that even if the fire phosphorite was very smart, it would not be possible to understand what the human water pipeline was doing so quickly.

But it's also possible that they've already taken action, but the steel hasn't been bitten through by them yet!

In any case, we can't leave such a big hidden danger alone!

We made a decision - to explore the water tomorrow at noon!

An hour later, the zombies finally stopped making trouble.

Guan Zixuan summed up a rule, every time a zombie knocks on the door, it will last for an hour and then leave.

She didn't know why, and she hadn't figured it out yet.

The confrontation was over, and we all went back to our rooms.

I was lying in bed tossing and turning and never falling asleep, and I was thinking about a problem.

Why do they knock on the door at a timed hour at a time?

Just to scare people and show their horror? impossible!

Or is their biological clock to wake up at 3 o'clock every night, do radio gymnastics and scare people, and then go back to sleep?

So why? Why do they do it? What do they do? What is their purpose?

For whom?

Or for something?

After pondering for a long time, there was no result.

And so the night passed......

The next morning, I dragged my tired body up and did a set of radio gymnastics and washed my face.

After that guess last night, I didn't even dare to wash my face with cold water, I had to boil it at high temperatures.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Guan Zixuan standing outside.

"Morning!"

"Hmm. You don't seem to be in good spirits?"

"I thought about a lot of things last night. ”

"Is there a result?"

"Nope. ”

I didn't have enough brain cells at this point, and I felt like my mind was stuck in a dead loop, hovering at those few points forever, without any new discoveries.

Guan Zixuan took me to breakfast. Yaya's mother became the new cook here, and when she served the food, she said to me with a smile on her face.

But her face was still not good, and even more haggard.

After a night of adaptation, Uncle Wang has now become friends with many people, he is a businessman, and he has always been very good at socializing.

Coupled with his title of hero of Shangyang Village, he has gained another group of fans.

Guan Zixuan didn't say a word during the meal, but she ate quickly and didn't have any image.

Trapped for half a year, she has already lost a lot of baggage, in this environment, life is the most important!

It's noon in the blink of an eye.

The weather is nice today, and the sun is scorching the earth. In the distance, the floor of the drying field exudes a heat unique to hot weather.

I wouldn't have thought it was a good day.

Packing up, we're ready to go! This time it's just me and her.

I put my hazmat suit on her, I don't need it now, a cocoon solves everything.

Open the iron gate and head towards the back mountain!

We didn't encounter any bugs along the way, so I held the cocoons high and kept an eye on the sounds around me.

An hour later, we arrived at the water source.

Here is a ravine, and under a large tree, a clear spring emerges from a crack in the stone.

The water of the spring flows down the stone into a man-made pool.

The mountain trail of more than an hour was really tiring. If it were a normal day, I would have plunged into the pool to drink my fill, after all, the crystal clear water makes people want to drink it.

Throw away other thoughts and get back to business.

Guan Zixuan and I checked the filtration device in the pool and it was not damaged.

That's good news, at least there's a limit to their IQ!

We looked at each other and smiled, and we both breathed a sigh of relief.

The way back was easier than when we came, and it took us about half an hour to reach the entrance of the village.

Which one has an unforeseen storm!

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, it started to rain, as if God was deliberately trying to play with us.

Guan Zixuan's face is not very good-looking.

At the moment, my heart is also very worried.

What are we going to do?

It's definitely not okay to go back to the basement, because now as soon as the door is opened, the bugs will have a chance to sneak in and kill, and they must not go back!

I took her hand and walked into a room where I had to take shelter from the rain.

"Don't worry, I have a secret weapon in my hand, these bugs don't dare to approach!" I said with a smile.

"You're talking about the cocoon, and you can see that you've been holding it all the way, and I know it's going to work. She took off her hazmat suit and replied.

"Why did you take it off, this costume is bulky, but it really works!" I shook my head.

"What are you afraid of if you have a magic weapon, and if you're okay all the way, then you must be fine!" she laughed.

I don't talk anymore.

The cold wind kept blowing in outside, shivering with cold, and I took out my lighter and made a fire.

She and I were just facing each other and roasting the fire, without saying a word, a little embarrassed.

"Do you think insects are afraid of fire?" she asked suddenly.

"Of course! No creature is not afraid of fire!"

"You're wrong, a lot of submarine craters have creatures. She looked at me and said.

"At least the fire phosphorites certainly didn't come from the bottom of the sea. I replied.

We asked and answered, and the conversation went on.

"Why do you call it a fire phosphor?" she looked at me curiously.

"And when did you know they were bugs? As far as I know, they never showed up!" I asked rhetorically.

"Don't take people for idiots, it's easy to judge, what is there but a worm that will bite people, what else is there but a worm that makes that rustling sound?" she asked me repeatedly.

Maybe it's really because I've closed myself off for too long, and I'm gradually thinking that I'm smart!

"Wait! Why are they called fire phosphorids......?"

I don't seem to have been paying attention to this all along.

I pinched my chin with my right hand and said, "Yes, why are they called fire phosphorous insects? I saw them in Sister Lan's book, but there is no introduction, only a picture!"

"What kind of picture, can you draw it for me?" she said, looking at me from the side.

I picked up the charcoal and drew a rough idea.

The book was about the same as a bed bug, except that the legs were much thicker than the bed bug's.

"Could it be a shell on its back?" it asked, looking at the painting on the ground.

"Possibly, I don't know, after all, we never caught it. ”

"What's in that book you're reading?" she continued.

I wish there was an introduction in the book, but there is no specific introduction in the book, only one sentence: fire phosphor, from hell!

I told her the truth, and she asked if this hell was near volcanic lava?

Volcanic magma nearby?

So how can there be creatures?

I rejected this view. But I picked it up right away, because something suddenly occurred to me.
