Chapter 309
"Actually, I know if there are any polluted rivers in a place...... Yan Miao whispered.
"Why didn't you say it earlier," Ye Baishuang said in a loud voice.
Ye Ziyu glared at Ye Baishuang and said, "Don't say that I like to preach lately, look at yourself, people are not very good-tempered, and they are very rude." ”
Ye Baishuang snorted twice and twisted his head to the side.
"Far from here?" Ye Ziyu asked.
Yan Miao shook her head, "It's not far, the entire Stone Town and the surrounding bases rely on this river water to maintain everyone's daily drinking. The city's water powerhouses alone simply can't provide enough water for everyone. It's just that beasts are more frequent in that place, and there are many high-level mutant beasts, so even mutants and supernatural people can't go there alone. Shi Lei, the city lord of Stone Town, would gather his right-hand men every month, led by himself, to fetch water there. ”
"That's why the small base around here willingly belongs to him because he can provide them with water." Wang Yuyi continued.
"That's right, because Shi Lei is the highest-level and strongest mutant here, although I don't know how many levels his ability has reached, but I have personally seen a second-order fire ability really defeat after just a few rounds against him. I heard that he had already reached the fourth order. Yan Miao slowly told everyone what she knew, although her voice was calm, but the hatred in her expression could not be hidden.
Fourth-order ability......
Ye Ziyu is in the middle of the third order, but because he is limited by the wood-based ability to attack poorly, he can still defeat it against the second-order high-level fire ability, if he goes all out, but it is impossible to subdue it within a few moves.
"What kind of ability is that Shi Lei?" Ye Ziyu asked, because of Yan Miao's sake, she wanted to know more about this stone city lord, even though she knew that Yan Miao was definitely unwilling to mention this person.
"Stone." Yan Miao gently spit out two words.
Ye Ziyu was stunned, food system? Foodie? And this ability?
Before she could realize that she had misunderstood. Wang Yuyi laughed out loud on the side.
"Hehe, I thought that the base was called Stone City because the city lord who controlled Stone City was named Shi Lei, four stones, so the base was named Stone City. I can't imagine that even abilities are stones. It really doesn't pay for so many stones in his name. ”
Stone?
Ye Ziyu suddenly realized, and secretly spit out his tongue in his heart, fortunately he stopped his mouth just now, otherwise he would be embarrassed.
"It's the first time I've heard of such an ability, and it seems that we still know too little." In order to hide their embarrassment. Ye Ziyu also said with a smile.
"Well, as far as I know, he seems to be the only one around here with this particular ability attribute."
"Since you've seen him compete with other abilities, what does it look like when he uses his abilities, like Ziyumu's abilities are rattan and green mist, so what about that Shi Lei?" Dai Meitong asked curiously.
"Nature is stone. Do you remember the boulder with the word "Stone Town" engraved on it at the entrance to Stone Town? That boulder was from Shi Lei's ability. ”
Several people were surprised when they heard this.
Although humans are able to use a variety of abilities because colored meteors enter their bodies to form a power source, no one knows exactly why this energy source allows humans to emit these various genera of abilities.
People are their toes.
However, a person with an ability can create wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and can emit substances with the attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which is still somewhat acceptable. But it is possible to send out stones...... It can also be such a huge stone, which is somewhat difficult for them to accept.
Seeing that a few people didn't come back to their senses for a long time, Yan Miao chuckled: "Are you so surprised, what is the difference between this and the ability of the earth and wood system that can send out real objects, the only thing that can be said is that this ability is rare." I heard Ye Ziyu say that there is still an ice and fire dual-system ability in the Gaotu base in the west, which is even more incomprehensible. ”
Speaking of which, in such a world, anything is possible, so why be surprised.
"Do you want to go to that river? I could have taken you there, but I still have to warn you. It was really a dangerous place, and it could be seen that Shi Lei personally led the team there to get water. Otherwise, with his character of not taking other people's lives as his life, how could he personally lead the team into danger. Yan Miao reminded everyone again.
"What do you think?" Ye Ziyu wanted to win everyone's opinions, after all, she was not alone. "We don't have much water left. There is still some drinking water, if we can go without washing our faces for a few days like everyone else......"
"That's not good," Ye Ziyu's words didn't finish before Wang Yuyi interrupted without thinking. "My limit has been reduced to only taking a shower once a month, which is absolutely impossible without washing every day."
Ye Ziyu nodded, indicating that it was understandable. Take Wang Yuyi's previous behavior of being a little clean. It was indeed the bare minimum for him to be able to do so now.
Ye Ziyu looked at Dai Meitong.
Dai Meitong hesitated and said, "I think safety should come first, we haven't reached the point where we'll die of thirst if we don't go." Where even fourth-order supernatural beings have to go out in person, why should we take risks. ”
That's right.
"I'm afraid that we have come so far, how do you know which section of the road is infested by mutant beasts, and where there are always high-level mutant beasts, haven't we all come over the same" Ye Baishuang said in a disdainful voice.
This is the child's heart, but it is not completely unreasonable.
In the end, everyone set their eyes on Ye Ziyu.
Yan Miao was right, unconsciously, Ye Ziyu became the last person to make up her mind among them, if Yan Miao hadn't said it, Ye Ziyu himself wouldn't have noticed this.
In the past, Ye Ziyu didn't realize that she was always in charge, so no matter what decision she made, she had no distractions, and no one questioned it. On the one hand, I wanted to go to the river to prepare some water, and on the other hand, I felt that I had to think about everyone's safety.
"I propose, let's vote." Ye Ziyu took out a notebook and five ballpoint pens from the space. He tore five pieces of paper from his notebook, shoved them into everyone's hands, and said, "Let's all turn our backs." Everyone can only write and not go, cannot not write, and cannot abstain. It depends on whether the opinion with the largest number of votes is to go or not, and the minority obeys the majority. ”
"It's a nuisance. Sister Ye, you can just decide directly, if you want to go, we won't have an opinion. Ye Baishuang impatiently turned the pen in his hand.
"In the past, I didn't take everyone's ideas into account, and I put forward my opinions without much discussion, and you all agreed unconditionally. Now that I realize that this is not the right thing to do, I can no longer make my own decisions. Anyway, do as I say. ”
"Okay~" Ye Baishuang turned around lazily, and turned back after a few hasty drawings on the paper.
Ye Ziyu also wrote about his more preferred ideas.
Wang Yuyi also turned around and stuffed the paper that finished writing opinions into Ye Ziyu's hand, the corners of his mouth curved upward, and said with a smile: "You ordered us to write down our thoughts, and this idea only has two options, isn't it another behavior that doesn't care whether everyone is willing to vote like this." ”
Ye Ziyu was stunned, what he said was indeed very reasonable, isn't this also a kind of domineering performance
Satisfied, seeing Ye Ziyu's entangled look on his face, Ye Baishuang smiled: "So there's no need to change." As before, do what you want to do, we will naturally raise objections if we feel that it is not good, and of course we will support what we think is feasible, otherwise how can we want to accompany you to the east and help you find your relatives, instead of staying at the safer Gaotu base. ”
Ye Ziyu suddenly said, yes, it was their own hypocrisy, they were able to give up a safe and comfortable base life. is willing to come out and take risks with himself, how can he care about these little things.
The five pieces of paper looked over one by one, although Dai Meitong had raised an objection to going before, Yan Miao seemed to disagree. But what is written on the paper is actually the word "go".
Ye Ziyu looked at Dai Meitong first, and she obviously didn't want to go the most.
Dai Meitong also looked back at Ye Ziyu and said softly: "I just said what I thought, but if I make a decision, of course I am still willing to follow everyone's wishes." ”
"What about the swallows~ You seem to be against it too?"
"I didn't say I was against it, I just warned everyone that it was very dangerous. And. I know you so well, of course I know you want to go. ”
Ye Ziyu smiled, there is no need to say anything more. Immediately they started the simple deployment.
On the way, Ye Ziyu asked Yan Miao how she knew the specific location of that place.
It turned out that Yan Miao had joined the water collection team more than once.
This made Ye Ziyu even more puzzled.
Since Yan Miao once helped Shi Lei, why was she still deprived of her abilities, didn't she even look at this bit of affection?
In front of so many people, Ye Ziyu didn't want Yan Miao to be embarrassed, so he didn't ask his doubts.
However, others noticed Yan Miao's words.
"You mean that you once participated in the water collection activity, but didn't you say before that Shi Lei would only take his right-hand man to collect water, how could you be Shi Lei's subordinate? You're an ordinary person, huh? Dai Meitong asked.
The question touched Yan Miao's sore spot, Ye Ziyu wanted to answer for her, but Yan Miao explained herself: "I'm not Shi Lei's subordinate, I just wanted to earn some crystal nuclei and joined their water collection team." Not everyone can participate. Shi Lei has his own people, of course, it is better to mobilize and be more obedient with his own people. However, among his people, the number of water type abilities is much smaller than that of the other Five Elements attributes. Therefore, he is very protective of those water system abilities, and the water he drinks himself comes from those water system abilities, and the water that comes up from the river is not only distributed to his own subordinates, but also to win over the surrounding small bases to annex. And before they go to carry water, they will recruit water powerhouses like me who are not part of his organization. First, the road will allow him to drink clean water in time when he is thirsty, and second, although the river looks clear, there is no guarantee that it will always be unpolluted. Especially if it has been polluted, but because of the low concentration, no one can see it, and it is very likely that many people will drink this unclean water and turn into zombies. ”
"So you're actually a water-based superpower, because only a water-based supernatural is the one who knows water best, and can detect whether it contains viruses in water." Ye Ziyu said that although she already knew that Yan Miao was also an alien, she had no intention of being with ordinary people now, and she didn't want to expose her scars, so she didn't ask her what her ability was that night, because no matter what it was, whether it was a rare attribute or a common attribute, it was meaningless to Yan Miao.
And Yan Miao's remarks just now are obviously able to face the fact that she has lost her ability, and what she can't face seems to have been successfully blocked in the depths of her heart.
But, the next thing that will inevitably be asked about the disappearance of the ability, can she still talk about everything as calmly as before?
Sure enough, Ye Baishuang immediately asked this question.
Ye Ziyu looked at Yan Miao worriedly, she didn't have a clear understanding of how she was taken away that night, and it was impossible to say it now.
Whether to say it or not, this is secondary, what she is worried about is that Yan Miao's mood that has finally adjusted will be low again.
However, what Ye Ziyu didn't expect was that Yan Miao's face was not strange at all.
She still said calmly in a calm tone, "Not everyone's abilities will be taken away, and no one can deprive others of their abilities. Unfortunately, I was the one who could be taken away, and I was even more unfortunate enough to meet someone who could take someone else's ability away and help me move forward. ”
"What? Can you also advance by stealing someone else's ability? ”
Wang Yuyi, Ye Baishuang and Dai Meitong said in unison.
Yan Miao successfully shifted the attention of the three of them from how the ability was taken away to the incredible news that they were able to increase their strength by capturing the ability.
"How is this possible, not to mention that the ability will be deprived is unbelievable enough, and it is simply impossible to use it for the captor after taking it." Dai Meitong said.
Yan Miao laughed at herself: "At first, I didn't believe it, but it really happened to me. ”
"That'...... How the Dispossession used someone else's abilities to raise his rank. Dai Meitong frowned and asked.
"Of course, only the dispossessor himself knows this, so how can we say it clearly." Ye Ziyu hurriedly answered for Yan Miao. To be continued
