Chapter 55: A Well (I)

Shallow groundwater is brought to the surface through a well for daily use.

It is a remote mountain village with only one well, which was dug a long time ago by a drilling machine. This well feeds a mountain village of more than 100 people, and the villagers see it as a source of life and hope for the future. A line of defense was laid around the wellhead, and no one could approach it at will, and anyone who took water had to go through checkpoints, search, scan, and inspect it meticulously, and no one could violate this rule, not even the village chief.

The village chief's house is far away from the well, and it takes about ten minutes to walk to get water once. It was okay when I went, after all, I was carrying an empty bucket, and I was very tired when I came back. The elderly village chief had difficulty walking, so he asked his teenage daughter to carry two waist-high buckets to fetch water. Usually, when he is energetic, the village chief will go to fetch water by himself, but a few days ago, the village chief accidentally broke his foot when he was walking on the side of the road. The village chief's daughter is less than 1.5 meters tall, and it is difficult to carry a bucket in one hand, and she has to carry two more, so she threw a bucket directly in a huff, and only carried a bucket to fetch water?

Few people remember what the village chief's daughter's full name is, but they only know that they usually call her Xiao Zhou when they meet. Xiao Zhousheng is lively and cute, with long and black pigtails dangling behind his head all day long, jumping and jumping very cutely.

Hey, Xiao Zhou, come out to fetch water today?

An old woman sitting at the door of the house, busy weaving a basket in her hand, saw Xiao Zhou running past her, and the kind smile on her face squeezed her eyes.

Yes, auntie, my father's foot is broken, just me!

Xiao Zhou didn't look back, and his voice faded away.

At that moment, a red cloud rose in the sky, slowly growing taller like a long-necked mushroom. Five huge space warships appeared in the blue sky, each of which was more than 10,000 meters long, suspended high in the air, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Xiao Zhou hurriedly threw down the bucket and ran home.

Xiao Zhou's father, the village chief, walked quickly to the village chief's office on crutches, told the villagers to go home and hide through the radio, and told the village guardians to quickly activate the protective shield.

The guardians of the village are composed of more than a dozen young and vigorous men, they usually exercise, their physique is very good, and the weapons in their hands are all sent by the village chief to travel thousands of miles outside the village to a small town to buy, some are second-hand, and even third-hand and fourth-hand goods. These guardians regarded these weapons as treasures, and easily refused to show them to others, so they kept them at home and hid them. Now, the village is about to face a catastrophe, and it's time to take it out.

The protective cover in the village was made more than ten years ago, and since it was installed, it has only been used once, and that time it was activated to block the mudslide tumbling down the mountain. This start-up used up nearly ninety percent of the electricity that had been stored for more than three years. Now that the catastrophe is approaching, the stored power can only maintain the maximum power of the shield for five days.

The activation of the protective shield requires the consent of all ten people in the village, including the village chief. Now, in addition to the village chief, nine other nearly centenarians gathered together, filled with smoke, like people's restless mood.

Sorry, it's late. Sit all down.

The village chief walked into the conference room panting on crutches.

As soon as the village chief stepped into the conference room, the other nine old men stood up one after another, most of them supported by the followers behind them.

Everyone knows the situation, so there's no problem with activating the protective shield, right?

The village chief looked at the nine old men who couldn't be messed with, and was the first to enter one-tenth of the activation password, and then pressed the OK button. The other nine digits also enter their passwords in turn and press the OK button.

Airplanes!

A stand was raised from the statue in the center of the village, and the stand rose to 50 meters before stopping, and then a blue electric current appeared from the top of the support, echoing the six electric towers distributed at the edge of the village. Six blue currents stretch like ropes and then connect to form a large net of regular hexagons. Inside the grid, a blue wave spreads out from the center to all sides. After a while, the village was covered in a thin blue shield, and not even a single mosquito could fly in or out.

Xiao Zhou's village activated the protective shield, and other villages also activated the protective shield. For a moment, looking from the sky, blue circles appeared on the ground, shining like blue gems.

These blue shields became eye-catching targets, and from time to time three or four combat ships swooped down in the sky, dropping a few bombs. Some of the sturdy shields held up under the first wave of bombardment, and some simply shattered.

Xiao Zhou's village is small, and fortunately, not a single bomb has fallen yet.

The enemy and the enemy were in a mess in the air, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

At this time, a wrecked spaceship glided from the sky with black smoke and flew towards Xiao Zhou's village.

Rumble!

The ship made a turn, and instead of hitting the shield, it landed in the woods next to it. The ship continued to glide some distance on the ground, knocking down a number of trees, but fortunately did not explode. The pilot was stuck in the cockpit and couldn't get out. A fire had already broken out outside the ship, and it would spread so quickly that it wouldn't be long before it reached the cockpit.

The whole village saw it, and Xiao Zhou also saw it. That combat spaceship, Xiao Zhou had seen it on TV, was his own country's spaceship.

Abba, I want to go out and save him!

Xiao Zhou pulled the corner of the village chief's clothes and shook it vigorously.

No way! I've said it a few times, no! It's too dangerous out there, did you know? No way! Hurry home! Come on!

The village chief waved his arm and hurriedly asked people to pull Xiao Zhou away.

Brother Ang, let's go out together to save him, shall we?

A young man in his twenties took Xiao Zhou's hand and walked to the village chief's house, and Xiao Zhou was coquettish in the back.

Xiao Zhou, you have to listen to your father, go home first.

The young man didn't turn his head back, and he used a little force in his hand.

Hum! He also said that Angkor is the best! The worst is pretty much the same!

Xiao Zhou's mouth pursed, and he followed behind with a tilted head.

Xiao Wu didn't want to, but the village chief's words were orders, and he was the best protected Xiao Zhou, so he had to send Xiao Zhou home safely.

At this moment, a whistling roar fell from the sky. Boom Boom! Three bombs landed on the weak shield, and the waves trembled.

Xiao Zhou was frightened and hid tightly behind Xiao Wu.

The shield resisted and was not breached.

Xiao Zhou, let's get out of here!

Xiao Wu glanced back at Xiao Zhou, picked up Xiao Zhou and ran out of the village, in the direction of the landing direction of the spaceship that had just been shot down.

When Xiao Zhou saw it, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he liked Angkor even more, and he couldn't help but tighten his arms around Angkor's waist.

Just as Xiao Wu ran to the edge of the village with Xiao Zhou in his arms, another combat spaceship flew down, and the target was this village.

Hurry! You go out first!

To get out of the village where the shield was activated, you need to go through three lines of defense. Now Xiao Zhou walked in front and passed the second layer of defense, and Xiao Wu pushed Xiao Zhou in the back.

The spacecraft that flew over this time dropped five bombs, the first three were still intact when they exploded, and the protective shield could not hold on after the fourth explosion, and shattered directly from the sky, turning into pieces of shiny debris and disappearing into the air.

Yes!

Xiao Zhou was frightened by the scene in front of him, and hurriedly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

Now is not the time to stop, we need to get out of here.

The protective shield was gone, so Xiao Wu came over and picked up Xiao Zhou, and went to the woods not far away.
