Inside the Huangsha Town Exchange.

Merry, the old white man, sat on the chair with a panicked expression, he looked at the turtledove standing in front of him for a while, and the insect standing next to him, and finally his eyes fell on the turtledove, and asked tremblingly:

"Y-What do you want to do?"

"What do you think I want to do?"

The turtledove pulled out his dagger and thrust it into the wooden table at hand with a "doo", and the sharp edge flashed with a blinding light, causing Merry to swallow a mouthful of spit and turn his neck faster.

"Water? Want food? Or do you want guns and ammunition? Merry couldn't stop saying, "It's all there, as long as you don't kill me, all these things are in the exchange, all of them are yours, all of them!" ”

The turtledove put his face in front of Merry's eyes, and stared at Merry for a long time, until Meri dared not look at him again, and his eyes were almost crooked to the side and could not come back, and then the turtledove retracted his leaning forward body and said to Merry:

"I want you to answer her a few questions."

"Questions?"

Merry didn't seem to expect that the two of them would return to Huangsha Town in the middle of the night, not for water, food, and strong weapons and ammunition, but to ask himself "a few questions", the expression on his face was puzzled at first, but it quickly turned into a surprise, and then it turned into panic.

"What, what, what?"

"Don't worry, you take two breaths first," Ikaruga pulled out the dagger and gently patted Merry's wrinkled old face with the cold edge of the dagger, "But it's still the same sentence, my temper is not very good, when she asks you, you try to answer all honestly, otherwise don't look at your age,

I can still do it. ”

With that, the turtledove took two steps back, allowing the worm to walk in front of Merry.

……

"The matter of the underground reservoir was instructed by your mayor, right?"

Worm asked this very smartly, she didn't directly ask "what's going on with the underground reservoir", that would make Merry guess that they had no clue what was happening in the underground reservoir at the moment, and Worm asked this, and revealed a message to Merry between the lines:

We already know what the underground reservoir is about, and now we want to know what the mayor has to do with it.

"I—I don't know what you're talking about."

It's a pity that Merry is not all alive on the dog's body at such an age, although he was frightened by the turtledove at this time, but he has not completely lost his proportions, and he barely kept calm in the face of the little worm's skillful inquiry.

"Don't you have a good ear?" The little worm pointed to the turtledove behind him, "He said that his temper is not very good, let you answer my question honestly, why is this the first question, you are pretending to be stupid with me, how can I continue?" ”

"Let him know how much temper you have."

The little worm waved his hand, and the turtledove immediately came up with a dagger, grabbed the back of Merry's neck, and the turtledove lifted him from the chair like a chicken, and slammed it on the table.

Before it was over, the turtledove held Merry down with his right hand, pressed his knee against Merry's left arm, and raised the dagger he held high with his left hand, and he was about to use the dagger to nail Merry's left palm to the table.

……

"I say!"

A pig-killing howl sounded in the exchange, and when the turtledove saw that the old man still couldn't stand his "domineering spirit", he withdrew the dagger and let Merry lie on the table and cry bitterly.

At this moment, Merry's tense muscles finally relaxed, and his whole body became limp, and Ikardove grabbed him by the collar with his hand and carried him back to his seat.

"Say it."

Xiao Worm also took advantage of the time just now to move a chair for herself, and sat opposite Meri, she crossed Erlang's legs, shaking her toes for a while, and looked at Merry's eyes full of kindness, not at all like she was interrogating Meri.

"Why, you don't talk again?" Seeing that Meili didn't move for a long time, the little worm's brows suddenly twisted, and the kindness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, "Do you think you have too many teeth, and you still want to come to a few 'obligatory tooth extractions' before you are willing to speak?" ”

"No, no, I said," Merry waved his hand hurriedly, "I know about the underground reservoir, but it wasn't the mayor who did it, it was a gang of local rats called the Mole Gang nearby!" ”

"The Mole Gang?"

Both Worm and Turtledove heard the name for the first time, and she looked back at Turtledove, who knew that Worm wanted to verify that Merry was lying, so Turtledove reached out again, intending to try to press Meri on the table again.

"I'm telling the truth!"

Seeing that the turtledove was looking at him, he hurriedly shrank back, and at the same time said that he was telling the truth.

"Go on."

The little worm gave the turtledove a look, and told him not to be busy with the hard ones again, and to hear what Merry would say first, and if he could judge that he was telling a lie, then it would not be too late to come back to the hard ones.

According to Merry, the reason for the declining water level in the underground reservoir outside the town is entirely due to the mole gang that operates in the vicinity of Huangsha Town and several surrounding towns all year round.

The so-called Mole Gang is just a group of people who like to dig holes everywhere, their boss once dug a large underground warehouse hidden under the yellow sand, and all the materials in the warehouse were very exaggerated in his possession, and he also made a fortune from this, recruited many people, and established the so-called Mole Gang.

The Mole Gang guys can dig holes in the ground more than rats, this area is covered with yellow sand on the surface, and it looks no different from other places, but in fact, the underground part has been dug by the Mole Gang, and the tunnels are next to each other.

Through such large-scale excavations, the scale of the Mole Gang is getting bigger and bigger, and their tunnels are getting deeper and deeper, after excavating several ruins one after another, the Mole Gang is now the largest force here, because they have also dug up the arms warehouse, their weapons and equipment are also very good, so that those bandits and robbers dare not fight their ideas.

In other words, the Mole Gang itself is a bandit force, but they don't compete with the people on the surface for resources, they rob the underground resources, those things that are buried under the yellow sand.

……

Merry rambled on a big grunt, and the worm gradually heard a little eyebrow, but the turtledove was still confused, and he flashed his dagger at Merry, which frightened Merry and hastened his progress.

"The reservoir outside our town is pumping deep groundwater, it's just a water storage point, the water intake point is not there, no one knows where the water is in the past, because no one can drill down the pipe, but recently the mole helped the group dig the water intake point of the reservoir."

"They said whoever digs it counts, so they shut down the pipeline that carries clean water from the water intake point to the reservoir."

After Merry finished speaking, neither the worm nor the turtledove expected this to be the case.
