Chapter 138: Waterworks
"It's Uncle Yuan who is back, let's wait for Uncle Yuan to decide the time to leave, don't worry, we will leave after you and Teacher Zuo are settled, but we can't stay here for too long, after all, we still have an important mission to go to the capital."
Nurse Xiao Li's sister nodded to show that she understood, and looked at the big beauty Tu Jiaojiao again and again, opened her mouth, trying to say something but didn't say it in the end.
The big beauty Tu Jiaojiao glanced at the nurse Xiao Li's sister, but did not take the initiative to speak, nodded and left.
Nurse Xiao Li's sister saw the big beauty Tu Jiaojiao turn around and leave, and she originally mustered up the courage for a long time, but she leaked it down, stirred her fingers, bit her lower lip, and thought about it alone for a long time.
Yuan Zhengtian, who got up early the next day, hurried to Deputy Commander Deng's office, now Erbao has come to his senses smoothly, if there are no other accidents, he can leave and set off soon, but many times in this world, changes are always faster than planned.
When he saw Deputy Commander Deng again, Yuan Zhengtian felt that something was not right, standing behind Deputy Commander Deng was the soldier named Deputy Commander Deng's uncle who Yuan Zhentian bumped into when he came out yesterday, and the look on Deputy Commander Deng's face was so gloomy that ink could drip out.
After seeing Yuan Zhengtian coming, Deputy Commander Deng's face was slightly better, Yuan Zhengtian thought that Deputy Commander Deng was angry with his nephew, but after hearing Deputy Commander Deng's words, the expression on his face was even more gloomy than Deputy Commander Deng.
"Colonel Yuan, we are in a big trouble now, if we don't handle it well, these hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Hot Spring Town will be wiped out.
There is a problem with our water source, if you think about it, the hundreds of thousands of people in this hot spring town plus the soldiers on the front line of the fight against zombies, so many people, if everyone's water source is wrong, there is no need for zombies to attack us, and we will all collapse ourselves.
After the heavy rainstorm two days ago, hundreds of our soldiers all had varying degrees of high fever and coma symptoms, just like the period before the outbreak of the zombie virus, and these soldiers all have a characteristic, that is, they were drenched in the heavy rainstorm a few days ago, but there are so many people in the rain, far more than these hundreds, after the three-hour incubation period of the zombie virus, none of them have become zombies, so we can only temporarily put them in the quarantine area.
But in the past two days, there are more and more people with the same symptoms, I have checked with the people of the anti-chemical defense force, it is our water source that has a problem, the water source of the entire hot spring town is from the same waterworks as Shancheng City, about ten kilometers away from the hot spring town, after the outbreak of the zombie virus, Commander Chen sent a squad to the waterworks to station, and now those people stationed in the waterworks are also uncontactable, I have sent three groups of people to the waterworks before and after, but there has been no reply so far, Due to the heavy losses of civilian satellites, we have no idea what is happening to the waterworks now.
Colonel Yuan, you are one of the best soldiers in our Dragon Kingdom, although I know that you have an important mission, but now this matter is related to the safety of so many of our lives, can I trouble you to run again, you don't have to destroy how many zombies, I just hope to be able to understand what is the situation in the waterworks now. ”
"It won't delay you for long, if you don't delay halfway, it'll be about the same for two or three hours."
Yuan Zhengtian didn't hesitate for long, but still took on this task.
This time, the mission is not in a place occupied by zombies, but in a human-controlled area, so there is no need to bring as many people there as last time.
Yuan Zhengtian simply traveled lightly, and set off directly with his old acquaintance Fu Donglin.
Driving a large military jeep, Yuan Zhengtian took advantage of the time on the road to carefully study the relevant information of the waterworks given by Deputy Commander Deng.
This time, the destination waterworks were built upstream of the Yunxi River, the mother river that runs through Sugi City, and the water source was directly pumped from the Yunxi River, purified and turned into tap water, which was delivered to thousands of households in Sugi City.
In order to supply the water source of tens of millions of people, the area of the waterworks has been expanded year by year, and now it is thousands of acres, and all the purification pools are automatically controlled by computers.
This time, the task was relatively simple, mainly to reconnoiter the situation of the waterworks, and to be cautious, so that there was no need to make a big move.
With the pass personally issued by Deputy Commander Deng, the road was unimpeded and soon arrived near the waterworks.
Although it is not inaccessible, it is also located in the middle of nowhere, and few outsiders usually come in except for the relevant staff.
Yuan Zhengtian and Fu Donglin found a secluded place at random, Chu parked the car, and did not rush in directly, but went around the periphery of the waterworks a few times.
"There were zombies here before, but there shouldn't be many of them, Captain Yuan, you see, there are still some traces on the ground, which should have been wiped out by the people sent by the previous command post."
The veteran Fu Donglin pointed to an inconspicuous corner, where there were some hastily covered black-brown dried blood stains, and there were a large number of messy footprints around it.
Following the direction of the footprints, the two walked to the grass on the side of the road, pushing aside the grass that was taller than a person, and the soil on the ground obviously had traces of turning, Fu Donglin picked up the sapper shovel and turned over a few shovels casually, and the smell of decay made the two of them can't help but cover their noses.
There are a lot of corpses buried in the place not too deep underground, most of them are wearing the work clothes of the waterworks, it seems that they became zombies when the zombie virus broke out, but there were not many people here, and they were hurriedly buried here after being eliminated.
"It seems that there are no zombies here, we swaggered all the way over without any cover-up, if there are zombies, how can it not be unresponsive, since it is a problem with the water source, then let's go to the water intake first."
The water intake is a key protection area for the entire tap water force, and Deputy Commander Deng said before the two of them set off that people were specially arranged to be on duty at the water intake 24 hours a day.
It only took more than ten minutes, and according to the route on the map, Yuan Zhengtian and Fu Donglin were hit by the water intake of the huge waterworks.
Shancheng City, located in the south of the Dragon Kingdom, is generally the rainy season in April and May every year, and it rains almost every day, and the hot summer is the temperature is extremely high, and the precipitation is also low, so now there is a three-meter-high water intake pipe here to expose a small half of the water surface, and in this part of the exposed water surface, the two obviously saw that the original strong and fine wire filter actually broke an obvious big hole.
