The caravan slowly walked towards the water in the fork near the water sound. The sound of running water echoed far underground, the sound of the river hitting the craggy bank, echoing on the slope and arguing with ears, and it was inexplicably dry after listening to it for a long time.

"It's so noisy."

As he walked, Blair frowned and muttered to the side-by-side mountains, but the sound was immediately drowned out by the sound of water.

"Huh? What did you say? ”

The mountain eyebrows were wrinkled more than Blair's, and his ears were full of rattling noises, like tinnitus.

"I, said. Really, really, specially, noisily, noisy! ”

Blair leaned into the mountain's ear word by word and shouted again.

"I, too, Jue, got!"

Mountain replied to Blair with a snort.

Then the two of them felt their eyes light up, and when they looked up, Old Man Sean turned his head and smiled at them, and the light of the overhead light was dazzling.

Then the two of them were knocked on the head by the old man's crutches one after the other.

"Walk well and talk less."

Knock knock twice, Garcia couldn't help but touch his head next to him, hiss, it sounded so painful.

He thought to himself.

The old man turned his head back, and the light above his head shone on the road ahead, illuminating the winding road and the stone walls on both sides.

The stone walls on both sides are damp and smooth, and there is moss that likes to be dark and wet, and it is wet and cold to the touch.

The further you go, the more humid the air you smell from the tip of your nose, and after a small turn forward, the source river appears in everyone's eyes.

The river is not wide, and the waves that reflect the light are only about three or four people long.

However, it is turbulent.

A few meters from the riverbank, Garcia felt the rushing river bring a damp wind on his face.

Fierce winds.

"Sure enough......"

The moment the water appeared in the range of the light, Garcia saw that the old man had become more serious than before, and spread out the merchant's notes that recorded the merchant's map and deeds, drew a cross on a certain paragraph of text, and added a few lines underneath, and faintly saw by the light on the surface of the paper that it was a record of the diversion of the river.

Mr. Sean stopped three or four meters from the shore and looked at the rushing river without saying a word.

The light of the light on the brim of the hat shone far on the other side of the river, and the men who were dragging the cart behind also quickly saw the whole picture of the river, as well as the situation of their leader stopping, and the whispers of each other gradually sounded in the crowd.

"Hell, the Sourceless River has been diverted again."

"When I came back from here four days ago, I remember going a little bit over there."

"Besides, I remember this stone, I slept on it when I came, you look at it now."

Garcia heard the man behind him talking about a stone, turned his head and found that he was pointing to a large rock that was mostly submerged in the river, and the person who spoke stood in the water and touched the stone with emotion, and from this angle the water was already at the point of his knees.

"Water level ......"

Garcia touched his nose, the part of the shore reached his knees...... How deep should the center of the river be...... "Four days ago, this was just a campsite near the Sourceless River. ”

Old man Sean squinted at the surface of the river, as if something should exist on the river.

"Originless River Camping. But the original shed is no longer visible...... It is estimated that it has long been washed away by the river or sunk to the bottom of the river. ”

"Camping ...... Why did you choose the Source River as a campsite? Isn't it unsafe here? ”

"No, it's safe...... At least when the river doesn't change course - it's flat and open, because the river changes course every few years, and the mutant creatures find it dangerous...... Therefore, there are usually no mutant creatures approaching, and the vision is good, so you can evacuate in time when you encounter danger. ”

The old man explained, "Mutants basically have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and no mutant will like such dangerous terrain that is not suitable for survival. ”

"I have traveled more than 300 times in my fifty-four years, and on average every 20 or so times I have encountered a diversion of the river...... However, this is the first time that such a large-scale diversion has been made. ”

"Suren!"

The old man suddenly shouted to the men who were talking next to him.

"Understood!"

Out of the crowd stood a sturdy half-naked man, about twenty years old, his undershirt draped over his shoulders like a towel full of water.

Garcia knew this man, although he didn't get the badge of a professional when he was in school, but he seemed to be a good swimmer, so after graduation, he was accepted into the caravan by the old man to deal with this situation of diversion of the source river.

The man stepped out and pushed the shoes on his feet to the ground next to him, and the sweatshirt was thrown on the shoes, and Garcia saw Sulunmai's skin, eight-pack abs and mermaid line clearly visible.

"This time the diversion is much larger than in previous years."

The sturdy man stood by the river and bowed down, and then plunged into the river with a fierce man, "The current is much faster than when it came down before!" ”

The man showed his head on the surface of the river, shouted twice at the shore, and then dived down again and began to swim to the opposite side.

Old man Sean turned on the lamp for Suren, and under the light, Garcia saw the figure of a strong man in the water swimming towards the opposite side.

The man's figure grew farther and farther away, and a few minutes later Garcia saw Suren reappear on the opposite bank, and the man seemed to be panting as if he was climbing the rocks on the shore.

After resting for a while, another fierce man came back, threw a cylindrical metal object with a rocker on the shore, and climbed ashore.

"Team leader! This time the water is much more urgent than last year! ”

Su Lun, who came ashore, didn't have time to wipe his dripping hair and body, so he said to the old man.

The old man shook his head and threw over a large coarse cloth bath towel.

"Wipe your body first, and then say when you're done."

"Hmm."

Su Lun threw the bath towel over, and then wiped it on his body while describing his feelings, "The original camp of the Originless River sank to a position near the center of the river, and those sheds were gone, probably washed away by the water, and we vaguely saw the pot and stove where we cooked rice sinking to the bottom of the river. I couldn't get it when I went down, so I picked up the generator that made the stove. ”

The sturdy man rubbed the bath towel vigorously on his head, squatting down to pick up what he had just thrown up and shaking it in front of everyone's eyes.

"Show me it."

Garcia sniffed his nose and took the generator from the man's hand, which still had water on it.

"Sure enough."

The generator was then circulated in the hands of the crowd, causing a burst of discussion and sighs.

"This kind of non-waterproof generator is estimated to be unusable if it enters the water......"

"It's a pity, it costs more than 200 Yero iron......"

…… The man saw that everyone took the generator and discussed it in their hands, and he didn't bother, so he simply waited for everyone's words to lower before continuing, "After this diversion, the river is much more urgent than before, and you can see it, even if it is me, it takes five minutes to cross the river......"

There was a sound of surprise from the crowd, as if it was a very unusual thing for a strong man to swim for five minutes.

"Tsk, it's like he's the only one who can swim."

The little fat man was a little disdainful when he heard this, and whispered to Blair on the side with his chest in his arms.

"That's it, I don't like him, I can do this swimming job."

Blair also pursed his lips in mockery, but the next second the two of them were hit twice on the back of the head by the mountain standing behind them, which was half their head taller.

"People must have his ability to mix in the caravan for so many years, I remember you mocking Garcia when he first became a team leader, and he didn't have any ability, and in the end? Don't dig your own holes. ”

"He's as good as Garcia's leader, you see, a string of bombs will go down and slaughter a big meat worm that makes me run half dead."

Raymond disagreed, and at the same time subconsciously praised his team leader.

"That's it, what's more, who looks down on the team leader? I, Blair, have never said anything about looking down on the leader. ”

Blair was there too.

"Tsk,"

Shan rolled his eyes, "I remember...... Forget it, it's up to you. ”

He suddenly felt that he was talking to two people who advocated "whoever has the biggest fist"

It makes no sense to talk about a firm stance, and as for whether Blair ever looked down on Garcia's behavior...... Whatever.

On the other side, Su Lun's eloquent conversation also came to an end.

“…… So I think, this time, we can't cross this river. In other words, we can get by, but our trailers and goods can't let us take us across the river again and again as before! ”

"What then!"

"That's it, what then!"

"Are you going back the way you came?"

The caravan exploded, and everyone expressed their worries about the next solution and their pointless nonsense.

"Quiet!"

After being silent for a long time, listening to the chatter next to him, the old man's brows twisted deeper and deeper, and finally opened his voice and raised his voice a little, and said two words.

The crowd immediately fell silent, and the old man's words had always been very intimidating in the caravan.

"Let's go upstream."
