wasteland ranch

Chapter 174
The back mountain is actually more like a basin.

There is a large piece of flat land above the dam, surrounded by towering peaks around it.

Although it is not known why the dam was buried, it should not have such a large amount of water.

But what Lin Guiyao saw was exactly the opposite.

I saw that in the innermost part of the back mountain, that is, where the halite mine was discovered, it seemed like a dike had burst, and a large stream of blue-black water spewed out, washing everything in front of it.

Although it wasn't a flood, it was just a column of water more than ten meters in size. It didn't look big, but it was very fast. It reached a height of more than ten meters, and it could be seen clearly from a distance of one kilometer.

The mining workers desperately dodged the water flow, their faces full of panic. Lin Zhen, who was on duty not far away, also discovered this situation and quickly sounded the alarm.

As the Dangdangdang bell rang, almost everyone on the dam rushed over, and Gui Xingchao was the first to arrive.

He nodded to Lin Guiyao first, then frowned and glanced at the raging water in the distance, then he waved to a miner who ran back,
"Tell me, what's going on with the water?"

The miner wiped off his sweat, looked at the water flow in horror, and said tremblingly: "Ada and Lao Hu went down to the cave today to get salt. They made a bet on whoever picked more. They all went into the innermost part of the mine to mine. In order to win, then, then the water rushed out, he, they couldn't run out!"

Lin Guiyao squinted his eyes. The villager seemed to be quite frightened, and he spoke up and down, but he understood the meaning. It was probably the two bettors who went deep into the mine, and ended up digging out somewhere. this current.

"It's just water, are you afraid of this?" Xu Shilang who rushed over said carelessly.

"No! That water, that water can eat people!" The villager looked pale and looked back at the water rushing out of the mine from time to time.

"eat human?"

Gui Xingchao frowned, and looked at Lin Guiyao: "Lord, how about we go over and take a closer look? And Shilang, ask the guards to bring weapons and come here together!"

Lin Guiyao nodded, and quickly led the crowd to the entrance of the mine.

I saw that the water was still spraying continuously, and with the rumbling sound, the blue-black water covered the ground, exuding a slight fishy smell.

Because this area is a mineral snow storage area, the ground is very flat, and the falling water begins to spread everywhere, wetting this large area of ​​land.

Keeping everyone away, Gui Xingchao brought the late Ye Sangen to the water column not far away, and asked him to start investigating immediately.

I saw that Ye Sangeng first looked down at the wet ground, and then leaned closer to smell it.

After frowning, he took out another test tube from his pocket, carefully took a little soil sample, added two or three reagents and kept shaking, the liquid in the test tube turned a light green.

"This water is not poisonous or corrosive. It just smells bad and cannot eat people."

After finishing speaking, amidst the exclamation of the escaped miners, Ye Sangen inserted his hands into the wet soil and stirred it, squeezing out a ball of yellow mud that looked like flying.

"What's going on? Tell me!"

Gui Xingchao looked at the few miners around him, pointed to a man with a slightly better complexion and asked.

The man glanced at the stream of water and nodded, "Responding to my lord's words, this water can really eat people! When the water first came out, it wasn't too big. We immediately wanted to find Ah Da and Lao Hu, but it turned out When we arrived, we only saw their heads floating in the water, with broken legs and hands next to them, but their bodies were gone!
Then, the water flow became bigger and bigger, gradually reaching our waists, and we had to get out of the hole immediately, but the people who ran at the end suddenly fell one after another, as if being pulled into the water, following behind. Lao Li behind me is just like that, I obviously grabbed his hand, but..."

He pointed to the ground behind him, where a severed hand was lying abruptly, dripping with blood from time to time.

Seeing this in the middle of the night, he immediately went over to check the severed limb, but soon he stood up.
"The fracture is caused by the force on both sides. It is very flat, a bit like it was cut by scissors."

"Water, the water has become smaller!" At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Lin Guiyao turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the gushing water slowly drooping down, like urinating in the final stage, gradually subsiding.

It took about half an hour before the water column stopped. If it had not stopped, Lin Guiyao really doubted whether the water flow would fill the dam and form a real flood, which would wipe out the water he was about to harvest. The crops were submerged in patches.

But he didn't rejoice for a long time, and soon, a rustling sound came from the water-spraying mine.

"There is something in the hole! Be alert, non-combatants evacuate immediately!"

As Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, Xu Shilang immediately showed his excellent military qualities. According to his order, more than 50 guns were pointed at the entrance of the cave.

Since the last infection attack, more than half of the villagers have been killed or injured. The only remaining guards in the inner city are these 50 people. There are many soldiers in the outer city, but they cannot enter the inner city because their names are not green.

However, there are generally few combat missions in Licheng, and 50 people are enough. After all, they belong to the rear area, and they will basically not be attacked here by the enemy.

However, the training and weaponry of the guards in Licheng is still the best in Hope City. Seeing that they are aiming intently at the entrance of the mine, and their guns do not waver at all, they are obviously sharpshooters with a hundred shots.

"This is, a crab?"

As a green-black guy climbed out of the mine, everyone finally saw the true face of the so-called strange man-eating water.

It was a half-human-sized blue-black giant crab, with a smooth and thick carapace, two huge claws raised high, six legs nailed to the ground like steel drills, and the last pair of tail legs raised high , like two wings.

Cancer's eyes are like two black light bulbs, swinging, not knowing who they are staring at.The upper part of the white plastron is a large mouth that keeps opening and closing, constantly swallowing blood-red foam,
"So it's this thing that eats people?" Xu Shilang muttered, raising his gun to shoot him, but was stopped by Gui Xingchao.

"Stand back! Immediately deploy the defensive line! Lin Zhen, go to the city and call Wang Bing and Xiao Hong. By the way, call Ge Buling too, and tell him to quickly bring some oil-explosive bombs over!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crab at the entrance of the cave suddenly rushed towards the crowd quickly, and behind it, more and more crabs appeared in a steady stream.

Crabs vary in size, but the smallest ones are as thick as thighs. The key is their number. Just as the city guards backed up to form a firepower net, dozens of crabs gushed out!
"beat!"
