Chapter 41: Dangerous Rivers
"This is really a sea of people~"
Xiao Qiang also climbed up, but he was still startled by the black head.
"Once a week, most of the town is here! There are still a few horse-drawn carriages that can be used here, and there are not many rickshaws, so they need to carry the domestic water back little by little, and if they are late, they will have to wait for the next week! ”
"Isn't there anyone planning it? Bringing the water point into town? ”
It shouldn't be difficult to build a canal or something~
"You should ask Uncle Behm this question, there was indeed a water point in the town before, but I don't know why it was abandoned, but the strange thing is that the water problem has been alleviated after it has been abandoned~"
Ma Rui said lightly, and those big beautiful eyes blinked quickly.
Hehe~ Xiao Qiang understood as soon as he heard it, who are the people in the town~ It's easy to control the water source, okay, everyone runs the same line and everyone comes to the river to pull water, at least everyone has something to drink~
"The handsome old guy has a set, and he is not afraid of offending people like this."
"What is there to be afraid of." Ma Rui didn't care, "He was originally the boss of the farm town, and in the name of building irrigation canals, no one dared to object to saving money." Uncle Behm relied on this to increase the size of Farm Town by a third! ”
"Clever!" Xiao Qiang gave a thumbs up, this balance play can make those with vested interests vomit blood angrily~
"Thanks to this, I heard my mother say that in the past, I used to pull water and water the land by myself, and the harvest was good and bad, but now all I lack is fertilizer, which is why Uncle Behm can sit firmly at the top of the farm town."
Xiao Qiang and his party are moving forward at an unabated speed, they are like carriages with the right of way to consciously get out of the way, from the dexterity of these people, none of them are easy to match! If it were placed on his side, the recruitment advertisements here would have reached the sky!
Zhuang Zhuang snorted through the crowd and drove directly into the camp, several veterans of the safety supervision team greeted Zhao Jie very familiarly, and Ma Rui also called their names familiarly,
The entire camp was unobstructed except for the two-person-high rough wooden fence around it, only a dozen overcrowded passages simply divided by ropes, and at the end of the passages were machines for drawing water.
Zhao Jie was familiar with the road and let Zhuang Zhuang turn and walk to the most side of the passage, there were already several carriages in front of him, and the irrigation speed here was still very fast, and after a while, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a strange machine that was basically composed of canisters and water pipes.
But the facilities here are too rough, and the wires with sparks above his head make Xiao Qiang, who is furious in his heart, feel that he may fall on his head at any time!
Zhao Jie jumped out of the carriage and took out something to show the soldiers of the safety supervision team next to the machine, at this time a person in a shabby blue uniform jumped into the car, Ma Rui quickly unscrewed the lid of the bucket and took the dirty soft water pipe and inserted it in.
Xiao Qiang followed the pipe to find the container of the water, and in the middle of the circle of pipes were six huge containers in barrels, which were connected together by thick and detachable pipes, and most of the hoses were separated from the two containers on the ground, and then there were fewer and fewer pipes.
To the sixth container, there was only one hose connected, but Xiao Qiang didn't find anyone to use it.
And most of the things in their barrels are muddy liquids that flow out of the second container like muddy water mixed with loess.
There are 6 large vats, 5 of which contain this dirty water, and only one of them contains clear white water that flows out of the fourth container! Is this the number of filtration times that Zhao Jie mentioned before? It's really clear at a glance~
"This is where all our water comes from. The townspeople here receive a certain amount of domestic water for free every week, if it is exceeded, they can only spend money to buy it, my father is a soldier of the alliance army and there is also some share allocated to us by the alliance, so the quota is more. ”
Ma Rui said as he looked at the only bucket of water filled with water, and the staff member also kept an eye on a large meter connected to the hose, and before it was full, the worker released the water valve like a gas gun.
Just over half of the amount of water, that's the drinking water for the coming week! If it's just for drinking, this amount is still enough! The remaining 5 muddy water buckets were quickly filled, this time there was no limit, Ma Rui pulled out the hose, the staff jumped out of the car Zhao Jie shouted, and Zhuang Zhuang turned along the passage and drove out of the camp.
"That's more than enough for a week without bathing."
Xiao Qiang tightened the lid of the bucket filled with water, six plastic buckets that were still new, this amount was still enough for only the mother and daughter, but with him, it was a little less!
"Take a bath? You're really extravagant, you can't go wrong if you can wipe your body. ”
"I can die at home if I don't take a bath for a day, and now when I see the water, I want to jump down and wash it all over again!"
Xiao Qiang's hair is almost sticky, and his nails can turn black when he gets up in the morning~
"I want to jump into the river and take a shower right now!"
"If you dare to go down, beware of the piranha eating you! And these waters are radiated, and you will get radiation sickness if you come into contact with them a few times! If you become a ghoul, you have no place to cry, and the ghoul will never die because of lack of water and drink unfiltered water! ”
"What about zombies? How did it come about. Xiao Qiang suddenly remembered the arms full of planes cheering for him.
"Zombies? I haven't seen that thing before, and I've only heard Daddy Locke mention it since the wasteland first combined to destroy it. ”
Ma Rui shook his head and said that he had never seen it, let alone the reason~ Xiao Qiang was a little disappointed, and it seemed that he was going to ask Old Locke,
But they didn't notice that Zhao Jie, who was sitting in the front, had a lot of eyes sinking after hearing her daughter's words.
"Strong! Thirsty!! ”
Zhuang Zhuang, who was pulling the car, suddenly turned his head and shouted, Zhao Jie, who was preoccupied, didn't care and waved his hand to let Zhuang Zhuang go to the river to drink water, but Zhuang Zhuang was still shouting:
"Strong! Thirsty! Drink! Thirsty! ”
"Go ahead, no need to scream." Zhao Jie spoke directly this time, the strange thing was that Zhuang Zhuang still didn't listen to her, until Xiao Qiang stood up and waved his hand at Zhuang Zhuang, then he untied his saddle and ran to the river and stuck his head in the water!
"Your mutant is loyal."
Zhao Jie seemed to be smiling and making Xiao Qiang a little nervous,
"I don't know, why is he so obedient~"
The foolish smile adds a lot of points to Xiao Qiang's safety factor, Xiao Qiang knows that now is the time to pretend to be a grandson!
"Don't say anything else, at least your family's ability to train mutant coolies is not bad~"
Thank you Ma Rui for not telling his mother about the mutant coolies~ He now feels more and more that Ma Rui is the angel arranged for him by the system~! Thanks also to the drug lord Lagas, this thing looks like a well-hidden master, and no one can recognize the original owner of this mutant!
Zhuang Zhuang was lying on the river and drinking, Xiao Qiang looked around curiously, and found from the other side of the camp that a layer of barbed wire was laid on the river on the side, and there were many heavily armed safety supervisors standing on the simple passage across the entire river, and even a heavy machine gun similar to Maxine was placed at each end!
Just when Xiao Qiang was wondering why a river was so heavily armed, the safety supervision team on the river suddenly shouted loudly and ran back and forth! Quite a few people pointed at the river.
And the direction they are pointing in is the strong man who is immersed in binge drinking!
"What's going on!"
Xiao stood up strongly! Zhao Jie was the most vigilant, staring at the river, and immediately found a problem!
"There's something in the river! Let the strong come back! ”
"Da Da Da!" At this time, the dull machine gun sounded, and there was a dense splash of water less than ten meters in front of Zhuang Zhuang, and Zhuang Zhuang, who was drinking water, raised his head suspiciously, but at this moment, the water surface rolled, and suddenly a bloody mouth appeared in front of Zhuang Zhuang!
"Beat it!!"
Xiao Qiang shouted in a hurry! At this moment, it was too late to call Zhuang Zhuang's name, but fortunately, Zhuang Zhuang could distinguish Xiao Qiang's voice, and instinctively punched out after hearing Xiao Qiang's order!
Big mouth and Zhuang Zhuang collided together! The next thing is the splashing of water, Xiao Qiang can't see anything clearly, so he can only wait anxiously behind, until the heavy machine gun not far from Zhuang Zhuang seems to be able to see clearly that there is nothing to shoot at a long point!
The battle entered the white-hot from the beginning, and the fight next to the river was called an earth-shattering one, and the roar of Zhuang Zhuang was full of confidence one after another, but Xiao Qiang was still keenly aware that the battle gradually moved from the river to the water, and the monster was going to drag Zhuang Zhuang into the water!
But the strength of the strong is not something that ordinary mutated creatures can fight against, and in the end, the battle is always maintained on the edge, and the splash is getting smaller and smaller, but the roar of the strong is getting louder and louder.
There are more and more onlookers around, and a loud whistle sounded from the mouths of these people, Xiao Qiang hates these guys who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, for them it's just a wonderful life-and-death struggle, but for Xiao Qiang, being strong is the only combat power he can rely on, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a brother!
But now he can only endure it, and when he has the strength to protect himself, he must teach these guys how to behave!
After tossing for more than five minutes, the battle finally subsided, the strong big iron fist was still smashing into the water one by one, and the yellow mud soup mixed with red blood appeared, Xiao Qiang still didn't know what was fighting with Zhuangzhuang, and when he saw that Zhuangzhuang was fine, he quickly let him come back!
"Strong! Come back when you're done! Hurry up! ”
Xiao Qiang shouted, in exchange for a boo! Xiao Qiang doesn't care about them, and the safety of the strong is the key.
Zhuang Zhuang heard Xiao Qiang's shout, stopped the mechanical repetitive action, grabbed a long fishtail and went ashore, and as the monster corpse appeared in front of everyone, the whistle sounded again!
"Alligator-billed fish monster!"
Ma Rui exclaimed! Jump out of the carriage and run to Zhuangzhuang! Xiao Qiang also immediately followed, only to see a big fish 3 meters long and thicker than Xiao Qiang's waist dragged behind Zhuang Zhuang ashore, with a flat mouth like a duck, but when he walked in, it was more like a crocodile.
It's just that this head was smashed by Zhuang Zhuang and lost its shape.,Fortunately, Zhuang Zhuang is strong enough.,Kill this monster.,Otherwise, even if you escape ashore, it's not much effect.,From the monster's smooth body like a snake, it can be seen that even if it's a land fear, it's also a hunting ground for this kind of monster!
"What's this thing called?"
Xiao Qiang didn't hear what Ma Rui shouted clearly just now.
"Alligator-billed fish monster! Underwater killer, a ruthless character in the water, rare, few prey targeted by this guy can escape, although it is a fish, it does not mean that it is slow on land! ”
Ma Rui repeated again, Zhuang Zhuang sat on the ground tired, looking at the prey in his hand with palpitations, Zhuang Zhuang is stupid and stupid, but it doesn't mean that they don't know the danger, it's just that the reaction is relatively weak.
"How do I feel that danger is always around me~"
Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly, no matter where the danger was, he would follow him, and he didn't know if he was really unlucky, or if he was made more difficult by the system, and others who couldn't see each other in their lives always appeared around him and then had to have an intimate interaction with him~
"Danger is danger, but this thing is also a rare delicacy~"
It has always been a top priority to eat Ma Rui, thinking about the mouth cracking bigger and bigger, such a big one, you can eat it for several days!
The people around them also gradually came up, don't say anything about Zhao Jie Ma Rui for these people, even Xiao Qiang is clear now, they don't blame the public, they don't do this kind of thing, now such a big piece of good meat is in front of them, and they can't get through it in their hearts without getting oil and water!
"Strong!"
"Roar!!"
Xiao Qiang shouted! Zhuang Zhuang roared with rage! Chest thump!
The people who surrounded him instantly retreated three meters collectively, everyone likes good things, but they also have the life to take it~
"Let's get out of here quickly, this thing is red-eyed."
Xiao Qiang definitely couldn't hold it, or Zhuang Zhuang threw this big guy into the carriage, Zhuang Zhuang picked up the saddle and put it on himself and dragged the carriage to run! Xiao Qiang took advantage of no one's attention to quietly pull out the night demon's claws and cut off a fishtail about a meter away, and retreated when he passed by the guards of the safety supervision team!
Seeing the people of the safety supervision team running to the fishtail, Xiao Qiang shook his hand and shouted: "Help me, thank you for the person who shot!" This is a thank you gift to him!! ”
"You're so generous, the little half of it was sent out like this!"
Ma Rui pouted unwillingly, and looked at the fishtail that was gradually moving away, and teased Xiao Qiang unwillingly.
"You can't let others help in vain~ You see, if it weren't for people's guns accurately, it wouldn't be so easy to end strong."
Xiao Qiang pointed to the bleeding bullet holes on the fish monster's body, this heavy machine gun almost cost half the life of the fish monster.
"That's their job! We're not rich enough to give alms, so you'd better find a way to support yourself first~"
Zhao Jie's voice was still very cold, Xiao Qiang's originally better mood was immediately frozen, leaning on the carriage without saying a word, Ma Rui held Xiao Qiang's arm and smiled happily at him, Xiao Qiang's heart was much warmer than Xiao Qiang, who did not come, at least there were people willing to accompany him.
But Xiao Qiang's light at Ma Rui instantly turned into a horror! Because behind Ma Rui, something came out of the water!
