Chapter 520: The Well
The turtledove felt that the worm was right, and it was all right.
According to the information that the two of them have so far, the situation of this Lost City does have many similarities with the previous Gray Soil Ridge, but if you think about the relationship carefully, you will find that there are actually some differences between the two places, at least for now, it cannot be concluded that the Lost City is another reversal of the Gray Soil Ridge.
Because no one knows how the Lost City came to be what it is today, and what happened to the people who came here years ago and planned to settle here, all of this is still a mystery.
According to the past practice, as long as it is related to the new empire, the worm must investigate it before he stops, and this time is of course no exception, but how to carry out this investigation next, the worm can't think of a clue for a while.
"Ash Ridge was due to the contamination of the water source, which caused all the people to change unconsciously, and eventually the entire camp became sound followers and ordinary humanoid monsters, do you think this is also caused by the problem of the water source? Otherwise, let's investigate the water source here. ”
Unexpectedly, the turtledove suddenly put forward a rather constructive suggestion, which caused the little worm to nod at him frequently, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, yes, under my tutelage, you have finally opened your mind, and you have learned to use your brain, what you said is very reasonable, it is indeed a good way to start from the water source investigation." ”
The turtledove's praise of the insect is naturally very useful, that is, "training" the two people makes him feel a little uncomfortable, and he feels quite awkward.
But awkwardness is awkward, and Ikaruga is not a person who likes to pick out words with others, so he shook his shoulders indifferently, pretending that he didn't hear the two inappropriate words of the little worm.
……
Since it has been decided to start the investigation from the water source, the most important thing for the turtledove and the insect now is to find out where the water source of the Lost City is, thinking of this, the turtledove suddenly thought of an important question.
"Oh no, that well," Turtledove slapped his head, "if the water in this place is really polluted, then the well in the hut on the outskirts of the forest is probably also polluted, and we both have to be unlucky, I drank from that well before!" ”
Before, the turtledove was thirsty, and it happened that the people from the vulture castle found a well, and a big spider came out in the middle to make a mess, and the process will not be said more, only that the turtledove finally succeeded in sneaking to the well, not only filled himself with water, but also squeezed a lot of juice from the bushes into the kettle, numbing many people in the "elite team".
If it weren't for this, the turtledove would not have been able to save the insect relatively easily, there were so many people from the "elite squad" guarding the side at that time, if there was no chaos, how could they have watched the turtledove save the worm.
But now that he thinks about it, Turtledove thinks that not only the berry juice he added to the water, but also the water itself may be problematic.
Unexpectedly, he finally escaped from the disaster in the underground research institute, and in the end, he was not able to avoid the fate of becoming an experimental subject like being injected with the "universal serum", and it would be okay to become an ordinary experimental subject, what if he became a disgusting experimental subject like a voice follower.
"Don't cry and make a face," said the little worm, but her face was no better than that of the turtledove, "Didn't I also drink the water from the well, and not only me, but the people of the vulture castle have basically drunk the water from that well, and you are not the only one who is unlucky, and then we will all have to become all kinds of test subjects." ”
"What then?"
Turtledove didn't know what to do.
"How do I know what to do," the worm shook his head, "I can do what to do, isn't it still uncertain that there is a problem with the water source, what are you anxious about, you should really become an experimental subject, you can't hide no matter how you dodge, now find the water source first, maybe it's not that there is a problem with the water source." ”
Let the little worm say this, the turtledove's mood finally stabilized a little, - yes, it is still not certain that the "Lost City Incident" is the same as the "Gray Ridge Incident", the problem is the water source, maybe there is nothing wrong with the water source of the Lost City.
……
After such a small episode, it can be seen that the turtledove and the little worm are obviously a little low, I didn't want this thing to be fine, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was a pimple in my heart, and finally the little worm had no place to be angry, and directly punched the turtledove on the back, and finally got a little angry.
The turtledove felt full of inexplicability, he looked blankly at the little insect walking in front of him, and touched his back with his backhand, fortunately, the little worm is not strong, let alone punch herself, even if you punch a few more punches, it doesn't hurt.
After a little turn around the camp, Worm found a total of five wells for water, two of which had long since dried up, and the other two had become extremely water-level, and there was almost a little bit of bottom left, except for one well with a high water level, and it was also the largest.
There may be other places in the camp to get water, but it doesn't make much sense to find every single one, and this largest well is enough.
The diameter of this well can be about five meters, the stones of the well wall are neatly built, the insects look down and look down, from here it should be less than fifteen meters from the water surface, at most more than ten meters away, there is no movement on the water surface, of course, if you want to figure out whether it is a problem with the water source, you can't just look at the surface, you have to go down to the bottom of the well to see.
"What else to see, let's go down quickly."
The worm pointed to the well in front of him and said to the turtledove.
"Go down?" The turtledove didn't quite understand what the little worm meant, "Why do you want to go down?" ”
"If you don't go down, how can you find out if it's a problem with the water source," the little worm almost couldn't stand the turtledove's sluggish reaction, "If there is water at the bottom of the well, it means that the underground water here is living water, it is flowing, if you want to pollute this living water, unless there is a facility in the ground of the new empire that is constantly discharging pollutants, otherwise even if it was affected before, the pollutants have already been drained up now, and it will not cause any more impact." ”
"Oh, I see."
The turtledove made a look of sudden realization, and then honestly climbed the wall of the well and went down, - he naturally understood what the worm said, but he did not know how deep the well was, and if it was too deep, it would be difficult to do.
