Chapter 16: Nightmarsh
When Doudou finally regained his breath in Qin Xiaoxia's shaking, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in tension.
Except that Doudou was still nervous due to his fear of water, Qin Xiaoxia was startled and began to recall.
This wish is not to cause any trouble, but to take them directly to see the root cause of the river's problems.
But speculation is one thing, reality is another.
In this state, Qin Xiaoxia guessed that they might not have really arrived in the river, but he didn't dare to conclude that this was the case.
In case there really is a monster, in case and the monster really collides.
Wouldn't the two big and one small sitting on the sofa deliver food?
It's a pity that no matter how rich the psychological activity is, it can't change the status quo.
The river that should have been polluted is now very clear, and the visibility can reach dozens of meters away.
I don't know if it's because of my desire or because of my own vision changes.
At this time, the black dirt in front of him is particularly conspicuous.
"Beanie, Beanie! Let's see what that is?"
But soon, Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou were horrified to find that the sofa had no intention of stopping, and still rushed straight forward.
"Stop, stop, stop... ”
Brush~
From extreme movement to extreme stillness, the sofa instantly paused a few meters in front of the black filth.
Qin Xiaoxia only had time to scold "mother".
The inertia changes from the feeling of pushing back to a violent weightless forward thrust.
Just when Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou both felt that they were going to pounce on the filth, they strangely did not leave the range of the sofa.
Although the feeling of inertia is real, the butt is always "glued" to the sofa.
After a few seconds, the two of them came to a complete still, just like the couch.
Qin Xiaoxia was paralyzed like a dead dog, looking at Doudou, who was not much better than him, and teased weakly.
"It's, it's exciting. ”
Doudou pulled Qin Xiaoxia's clothes, and then pointed to the front.
The dark shadows were like clumps of rotten matter mixed with filth.
They wriggled together somewhere at the bottom of the river.
The turbidity emanating from them constantly affects the surrounding water, making it even more filthy.
Qin Xiaoxia suddenly saw the corpse.
There are cats, dogs, and people!
The corpses were in a state of total decomposition, occasionally rolling out of the darkness and filth.
"Gott~"
Seeing a half-rotted face of a human corpse and the same thing as the dirty liquid around it, it was Qin Xiaoxia's kind of heart, and he couldn't help but retching in his throat.
It should be the EPA staff member who disappeared two days ago.
These things are obviously the source of the anomaly in the Crooked Loach River, and they feel like living creatures that are difficult to determine.
"Big, big cousin... This thing,It's a marsh... ”
Doudou's tone was filled with a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Just when Doudou finished saying this, Qin Xiaoxia's heart was full of questions.
Rumble~
The pulling sensation that was dozens of times stronger than just now came from itself.
In less than half a second, Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou felt that they had been thrown away.
About a dozen seconds passed.
Qin Xiaoxia opened his eyes weakly on his hands and feet, and found that he and Doudou were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Doudou's eyes were still closed.
The sofa was wet to the touch, but it quickly realized that it was not water, but sweat.
"Doudou, wake up. ”
Qin Xiaoxia shook him a few times, and the latter opened his eyes in an instant, and then looked around for a while.
"Whew~ It's okay, it's okay... ”
Qin Xiaoxia: "......"
"Don't be okay, what the hell is that 'Nightmarsh' you just called? Is it a monster?"
"Sort of, sort of. ”
Doudou said with some concern what he knew about Nightmarsh.
Nightmarsh cannot be classified as a living creature in the conventional sense.
It is more akin to a natural phenomenon.
In the depths of the treacherous swamp, the remnants of countless dead creatures in the swamp over the years converge into a "dirty" magic.
Nightmarsh does not have the basic concept of life, death, reproduction, etc., but it is extremely jealous of living creatures.
Any swamp with nightmares is the most dangerous place, and it's hard to find it, let alone destroy it.
In fact, similar existences are not only in the Nightmarsh, but also in special places such as the Gathering Place and the City of Doom, which are formed by the convergence of resentment, and they are all very dangerous things.
Doudou has only heard of it, and it is the first time he has seen the real thing.
Hearing this explanation, Qin Xiaoxia was suddenly blindsided.
"What are we going to do? Surely we can't solve it, right?"
Doudou, who has always been timid, suddenly thought of something.
"But the hardest thing about the marsh is to find its roots, and it hides in a huge swamp, or simply becomes one with the whole swamp, and can bend the loach river... ”
Qin Xiaoxia also reacted and immediately picked up.
"Obviously not a swamp!"
Far from being a swamp, the Loach River is a flowing river, a living water.
Although it is getting worse little by little due to the influence of the marsh, it is far from turning into a swamp.
Moreover, this river is only a small river, and its widest point is only about 30 meters, which is already a very narrow space compared to the large swamp that forms a marsh in the mouth of Doudou.
"And although that mass looks quite big, it is actually very small compared to the rumors, and it must be a marsh that has just formed. ”
Doudou added.
Then the two of them were very excited for a while, and then quickly fell into decline.
"Excited ghost, even if it's just formed and not very strong, but the two of us can't handle it!"
Although I didn't want to be a hero in the first place, I inevitably felt a sense of powerlessness that I knew my weaknesses but couldn't do anything.
At this time, the TV in the living room is actually still not turned off, and the news continues to be broadcast.
"Next is the news about the remediation of the river in Qingzhen, just received the news, Kehua District environmental protection department and Ninghua Kuncheng cleaning company, decided to fully carry out the Qingzhen river section pumping and dredging project, it is reported that the river section containment work has been carried out in advance. ”
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxia's eyes lit up.
Pumping and dredging works? If you can limit the marsh to a certain section, can you do something about it when the water is drained?
Although his legs still felt a little soft, Qin Xiaoxia was anxious to take a look at the situation.
When he reached a little farther away from the river, he could already see that there were working boats setting up temporary barrages.
Tomorrow this section of the river will be completely cut off from the front and back, and then there will be a pump to drain all the sewage in between.
Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou only dared to look at the river bank from a distance, and as far as he was concerned, he was still a little worried about those operation workers.
But he couldn't resist going up to remind him of anything.
First, pumping the river is currently the hope of dealing with the nightmarsh, and second, people will not stop because of your words, and you dare to go up and tell people that there are monsters in the water will definitely be treated as patients.
"Huh!"
Qin Xiaoxia, who was enduring the stench, suddenly felt it and was taken aback.
He seemed to be able to sense where Nightmarsh was.
"Could it be because of that wishing technique?"
But Doudou didn't have the same feedback, and still looked at the river with a scared face.
Perhaps due to the rumbling of machinery from upstream and downstream working boats in the river, the location of the marsh is in the center of the interception section, and is not approaching the sides.
