Chapter 148: The Problem of Water Sources
Gallaher complained to himself why he had wasted so much water yesterday to play with his children.
The crowd kept pushing and shoving, the windows of the supply station were closed, and the iron gates on the perimeter were locked, just to tell people that there was no water supply today.
No way! I must get some water today, the water supply has been out for two days, and Gallah thought to himself, if it is cut off tomorrow, it will really make people die of thirst.
The crowd remained there for a long time, and Gallah walked to the side, and he went around to the back of the supply station, where there was a huge water tank, and a wall three or four meters high was erected, and he walked back and forth along the wall, and noticed that the branches of a tree were sticking right into the wall.
Gallaher grew up in the flea area, and was quite adept at climbing, so he carried a large pot of plastic buckets, climbed over the wall, followed the trees inside the wall, and came to the inside of the supply station, and he watched vigilantly to see if anyone was coming.
After making sure everything was safe, he walked to the water tank and filled the plastic bucket with water.
"What the hell are those staff members thinking? There is a big jar of water here, and it actually lied to us that there was no water! What a bastard! Don't they want to provide free water anymore? Instead, use a charge? ”
Gallaher muttered, feeling a bad feeling in his heart, "No one will agree to charge for water!" ”
He looked around, thinking that he had to hide now and wait until night to climb out of the tree, this would be the safest, otherwise he would be caught, and his family would suffer, especially the current mayor, who dealt with the illegal acts in the flea area more severely!
He hid behind the water storage tank, stacking the abandoned water collection facilities slightly so that he could sit in the back of the tank and not be noticed by the staff.
At noon in the Extinct City, the temperature had risen to more than 30 degrees, and the heat from the sun's rays made people feel irritable, Gallaher's face was already covered with sweat at this time, his back was all wet, and at this moment he couldn't wait to jump off the water tank and enjoy the water to his heart's content!
After a while, footsteps slowly came towards the water storage tank.
Gallaher's heart was nervous, oh no! Didn't you find me? His hands clutched tightly at the metal bar in front of him, and through the gap among the discarded tools, he could see only two pairs of feet in staff pants.
"What the hell is going on with this water? The inspection situation is a bit bad! Even more so than the other day ... ”
"I don't know! I suspect the water is contaminated! ”
A heavy sigh came, "It can't be that there is something wrong with the underground reservoir!" ”
"It's okay! Anyway, as long as the water quality in the rich area is guaranteed, there is also a spare water storage warehouse outside the extinct city! The voice seemed rather disapproving!
"But you have to think about it, if those poor people can't get water, it is likely to cause riots, and I am afraid that they will storm the water storage warehouse!"
"How dare they?"
"In any case, we need to investigate the water quality problem as soon as possible."
"It's okay! The water quality is a little worse, and those fleas don't want to drink the same, and the flea area is dirty and messy, even if you are sick, who knows if it is the water quality problem. ”
"If too many people die, the people from the Investigation Bureau will be patted down!"
"It's just your own people to check your own people! Anyway, remember that this matter must be kept absolutely secret, otherwise you and I will not end well! ”
The voice stopped suddenly, which made Gallaher's heart beat even faster, did they see me? He huddled his body tightly together, repeating in his heart, not seeing me, not seeing me!
"That's right! Do you know what the specific effects of drinking this water are, for example, what are the dangers to the human body? ”
Well, the voice dragged on for a long time, as if thinking, and after a while, finally spoke, "Diarrhea may occur due to excessive bacteria." ”
"Horse's? That's it? Diarrhea isn't quite normal for fleas, look at them in that dirty, foul-smelling place! ”
"But here's the problem, these bacteria and some parasites will have a certain symbiotic relationship, if they are in the human body at the same time, maybe the situation will be quite serious, even... Death! ”
Gallaher shuddered, and his hand holding the rusty metal bar creaked slightly.
"Who?" The two men who spoke shouted at the same time, sounding quite nervous and scared.
Finished! Gallaher didn't know what to do for a moment, the footsteps were already coming towards him, and through the gap, he saw someone with a pistol walking in his direction.
"Who! Who's there! ”
Gallaher's hand clenched the metal pipe tightly, he knew that if he was caught now, it would definitely not end well, and that he would probably be in danger of death if he eavesdropped on their conversation.
He decided to rush out with a metal pipe, but the other party was holding a pistol, and even if he dealt with the people in front of him, how to deal with the guards at the supply station, they would also stand guard with guns.
There's no way I'm going to get out, and if I show my head, I'm likely to be shot.
As the footsteps approached, he became more and more flustered and a little overwhelmed.
"Who's where!" The sound grew heavier, and the footsteps slowly approached.
Gallaher held his breath and continued to crouch there, the rusty metal tube in his hand tightened, ready to attack at any moment.
Suddenly, a black and white cat jumped out of the scrap metal equipment in front of him and quickly crawled towards the wall.
"Horse's! Scared the hell out of me! The voice grumbled, "It's just a cat!" ”
Gallaher heard the pistol retracted, his back soaked, sweat running down his face and neck, his beating heart slowly returning to normal, he was completely relieved, and let go of the metal tube he was holding tightly.
"That's it! Here it is! Go back and talk to the city government! ”
"Huh! I see, what about the water supply here? ”
"Tomorrow starts..."
"No! We need to wait a day or two before we can find a solution! ”
"For a day or two, those fleas won't die!"
"Then get some water from the rich area here!"
"Just kidding! Those that have been filtered and cleaned in multiple layers are used here? ”
"Are you going to let these people smash the supply station?"
The man who had just held the pistol laughed, and he put his hand on the pistol at his waist, "Then this class of fleas will be shot!" ”
"Better don't do that, they'll fight you! You can't guarantee that you will have enough bullets against them. ”
The man with the pistol shook his head and shrugged, "But I have enough men, it's too easy to deal with those fleas!" ”
