The kayak gradually drifted away from the shore and towards the middle of the lake.

From time to time, several people retrieved a tube of water samples, plugged the bottle cork, and put it in the sampling box.

The reservoir is large, the source and outlet are blocked, it is almost a pool of stagnant water, there is almost no flow, and the water quality situation is different in each area, and sampling must be carried out in stratified sub-areas.

Sampling work, boring and boring.

A staff member suddenly started a topic and said:

"Do you know how many people died yesterday?"

"How much?"

"I glanced at the statistics in the station in the morning, more than 3,600 people!"

"Huh

Although many of the corpses they see every day are numb, they still feel a chill down their spines when they hear this number.

"Actually, there were more yesterdays, I heard that they were more than four thousand, but this is already the highest peak, and it should be able to fall quickly in a few days, and now the nearby soil is rarely detectable for parasites after sprinkling lime. The team leader also joined the conversation.

"Well, those who die are those who have been parasitized beforehand. ”

While everyone was chatting, no one noticed that a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the water not far away, and a vague and huge shadow flashed.

......

The next morning, Chen Shouyi woke up and checked the properties panel.

It was found that the stats had finally changed, and the strength had increased by 0.1 to 16.1.

After nearly nine days on Earth, the total increase was 0.1.

It's too slow!

On the contrary, the will is not affected, and it is increased by 0.2 points.

He shook his hand vigorously, and the air let out a slight pop, and his hair was blown flying.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and a picture flashed through his mind.

Although the picture was fleeting, he couldn't see anything clearly.

But I knew in my heart that it was those barbarians who were sacrificing again.

I don't know if it's enough to eat, these barbarian sacrifices are quite frequent, and they have to be done every ten days, and the faith seems to be becoming more and more pious, and now even on the earth, sometimes they can feel a little.

He ignored it and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash up.

Walked downstairs, finished breakfast, said hello to parents and walked out the door.

He has been staying at home for the past few days, and his body is about to get moldy, so he is ready to go outside to exercise his body.

However, before he walked out of the door, he happened to meet Bai Xiaoling on the way.

"Mr. Chen, I have a task. ”

He stopped: "What's the matter?"

None of the tasks that can be done by a martial artist are simple.

Without waiting for Bai Xiaoling to speak, he said again: "I'll tell you later, I'll go and prepare." ”

......

"Why did you come back again. Seeing him running home again, Chen's mother asked strangely.

"I have a small task to help with it, so I shouldn't be eating at noon. Chen Shouyi walked to the stairs and said lightly.

"Where are you going, is it dangerous!" Although Chen's mother was used to going out from time to time, she was still a little worried.

"You just save some heart, you are such an adult, you are still a great martial artist, you haven't counted it in your heart, is it dangerous that you won't go!" Chen Dawei couldn't help but say.

"The great warrior is also my son, I care about what's wrong, what's the matter with you, you want to quarrel, right?" Mother Chen glared at him.

The fat in Chen Dawei's stomach trembled: "I can't make sense with you, I'm going to wash the dishes." ”

Taking advantage of the quarrel between the two elders, Chen Shouyi hurriedly walked up the stairs, changed into sportswear, picked up his bow and sword and walked down the stairs.

"Be careful!" Chen Mu said.

"Got it, Mom, don't worry!"

Chen Shouyi said as he walked out the door, opened the garage, and pushed the bicycle out of it.

Bai Xiaoling naturally sat up, and naturally hugged Chen Shouyi's waist.

Although hugging the male god's strong abdominal muscles made her a little fascinated for a moment, she still said quickly and competently.

"Something happened at Guangming Reservoir. ”

"Guangming Reservoir?" Chen Shouyi interrupted.

"This is the source of the spread of parasites from another world this time!" Bai Xiaoling immediately explained.

"Go on!" Chen Shouyi nodded and said.

"In fact, there is a huge spatial passage in the reservoir, which is suspected to be connected to the swamp of another world, but it is suppressed by the atmospheric pressure on the opposite side, causing the lake to never flow and no one notices.

It wasn't until yesterday that several staff members of the epidemic prevention station who took water samples suddenly disappeared and were devoured by the giant beasts in the reservoir that they finally became aware.

The military urgently used a depth charge, but it still escaped back to another world.

Now that the water in the reservoir has run out, the city government is ready to completely seal off this dangerous space passage, and is worried that the giant beast will return again, this time, the task is to garrison there and protect the safety of the construction there. ”

Bai Xiaoling briefly explained the situation.

Chen Shouyi frowned slightly when he heard this, this mission seems to be very long.

But let's go over there first.

He drove all the way, and soon came to the side of the blockade area, the strong scorching smell of the air reached the nostrils, and the breakfast in his stomach began to roll, and he continued to drive for another minute, and was stopped by the blockade soldiers.

Bai Xiaoling immediately got out of the car and identified herself.

The soldier checked his documents and quickly let him go.

After changing into protective clothing at the nearby outpost, the two continued on their way.

The rice on both sides of the road has turned yellow and drooped, and some of the poles have fallen down, but no one has harvested them at all, leaving them in the field.

The nearby factories were also empty and silent.

There are only trucks shuttling up and down the highways, transporting huge quantities of supplies to the disaster area.

......

Passing through a small town, Chen Shouyi saw a large number of soldiers and medical workers wearing protective clothing, conducting door-to-door inspections.

On the upper floor of the residence, many figures stood in front of the windows, looking numb.

"There's a makeshift hospital right in front of you. When she was about to pass through the town, Bai Xiaoling said suddenly.

Chen Shouyi looked at it, this was originally the town government, and there was still a signboard on it, but now it has obviously been requisitioned as a hospital.

It is said that it is a hospital, in fact, people who enter here can only wait for death, just the difference between living for one day and a few days, for ordinary people, once they are parasitized by parasites, they are bound to die, and there is no cure at all.

When the bicycle passed by the doorway, there happened to be a corpse, which was carried out and sent into the corpse truck.

Xu has seen a lot of similar tragic situations, and Chen Shouyi does not have many waves in his heart.

Ten minutes later, the Guangming Reservoir was already in sight.

Chen Shouyi saw that the high embankment of the reservoir was full of soldiers wearing protective clothing, several of whom were holding flamethrowers and were constantly breathing fire under the reservoir.

He parked his bike and walked to the makeshift camp.

After Bai Xiaoling's introduction, Chen Shouyi, the head of the regiment stationed here, shook hands.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Gao Yuanshan, I am relieved if you can come, this time I really trouble you. I've already made arrangements for your lodging, and I'll ask someone to show you there. Gao Yuanshan said very politely.

"Commander Gao, I'm not in a hurry now, I'll go up and see the situation first. ”

"Mr. Chen is really refreshing, okay!" Gao Yuanshan said to the young correspondent standing next to him: "Xiao Zhang, you accompany Mr. Chen to take a look around." ”

"Yes, chief!" said the correspondent.

The three of them walked to the embankment, Chen Shouyi couldn't help but look solemn, this reservoir is too big, occupying several square kilometers in a radius and more than 20 meters deep, and now the water level has bottomed out, leaving only a shallow layer of black water.

A large number of strangely shaped creatures from other worlds are moving in the black water.

Chen Shouyi even saw a behemoth in the distance that looked like a crocodile or gecko, but was five or six meters long, under the scorching flames of the flamethrower, the wolf rushed on the water, let out a sharp howl, and the water splash exploded like an explosion.

Several times it tried to rush to the embankment, but was forced back by the flamethrower.

"You're here too. At this time, Qin Liuyuan walked over quickly, followed by a large group of martial artists.

"Yes, I was called. Chen Shouyi came back to God and said.

He glanced at it and found that there were more than two dozen martial artists, and many of them felt a little embarrassed, they should be new martial artists who had only recently been promoted.

"Brother Qin, who is this handsome guy?" A rather beautiful female martial artist looked at Chen Shouyi boldly and asked Qin Liuyuan.

Qin Liuyuan's face was stunned, he smiled, and said to the martial artist behind him: "Some people may not know this person, let me introduce you to you, this is Chen Shouyi, the provincial chief security consultant, the only two martial artist-level powerhouses in Jiangnan Province." ”

"Shhh

Everyone gasped when they heard this, and their faces were shocked.
