"This is the clue the captain left us! Do you remember the password?"

The beholder quickly read what Yi Wen and the others said in the interview, disassembled and reorganized them one by one according to the decryption method they memorized, and quickly understood the information that the three really wanted to reveal:

"Through the spiral beam of light emitted by the lighthouse, that is the way to the past!"

"Through the spiral beam of light emitted by the lighthouse, is that the way to the past?"

Erica chewed these words silently, and quickly remembered the lighthouse standing on the mountain, and then her mind suddenly became clear—it seemed that the lighthouse would indeed shine, but she just missed it last time.

"No matter where the 'past' refers to, it must be a place to reunite with them!" She almost jumped up excitedly.

"..."

However, at this moment, the beholder seemed to realize something, his body shook slightly, and when he turned his head to look at the highly decomposed corpse.Two lines of cold tears had already flowed across his face, dripping silently to the ground.

Unknown town, day three.

The three of Yiwen walked side by side on a secluded forest path, surrounded by mottled trees, and some unknown birds were chasing the setting sun, quiet and peaceful.There is a faint scent of flowers in the air, but no one is in the mood to enjoy this moment of tranquility at the moment.

Because together with the whole town, including the aborigines and eligible people, they are all facing a sudden catastrophe.

The torrential rain yesterday caused more than just killing a group of people.The rainwater mixed into the river well water, and even further polluted the groundwater, completely destroying the water supply facilities of the entire city.

Water accounts for about 70% of the human body composition, and the average daily water consumption of the human body (through the respiratory tract, urine, skin, etc.) is about 2500 ml.In addition to 300 ml of oxidizable raw water that can be oxidized by the metabolism of substances in the body, at least 2200 ml should be supplemented from the diet every day to achieve balance.

People can go without food for a few days, but they must not drink water for a few days.

And now the entire town has fallen into chaos due to lack of water. Even though it can barely be supplied for a period of time with pure water and other beverages, the natural thirst for water still makes most people start to panic.

If the aborigines were still in chaos and panic, then the qualified people were going crazy.They had just started hoarding supplies, and they were two-thirds short of the safe value, but the water source was cut off. It was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if there is insufficient supplies in the future, this makeshift organization will definitely fall into internal friction.Turning into a monster in the rain is already terrifying, but it is even more terrifying if human beings cannot trust each other.

one by one

without water you will die...

Although this sentence is a simple statement of facts, it still gives Ivan a deeper understanding of life. Only a small change in nature can cause mass extinction of species.

Life is really too fragile.

It's no wonder that even the wisest emperors are willing to believe the nonsense of alchemists when faced with life and death issues.In fact, those nonsense can't lie to them, it's just that their subconscious minds are willing to believe that there is an immortality technique in the world.

Even if Ivan was walking on the vibrant forest path, he could still smell the smell of death that followed him everywhere.Because everything here is temporary, in the future it will either become a monster or wither and wither.

If the previous trials made him dare to challenge dangerous situations, then this trial made him realize the insignificance of life.

It was also from this moment that Ivan suddenly envied those apostles very much—they surpassed the fragile life form, the life cycle of metabolism, and even the constraints of time, and became the immortal witnesses of history.

"Captain, what are you thinking about?" Seeing his pensive face, the seal opened his mouth to break the peace in the forest.

"It's nothing."

He immediately suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and looked around: "It's just a simple random thought. Compared with these, let's care about our task of finding water sources."

"The rainwater hits horizontally from west to east, so of course, the mountains in the east can definitely block the heavy rain. That is to say, if there is a water source here, there is a high chance that it will be clean and pollution-free."

Bai Xiong narrowed his eyes and looked around earnestly: "I have special senses. The Iron Hand is extremely sensitive to changes in the dryness and humidity of the air. If anyone can find the water source, it can only be the two of us."

&039; "Hey, hey! And me!" The seal was very dissatisfied that he had been ignored.

"Your mission is to heal me."

Ivan patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the surrounding woods and said, "Pay close attention to the plants on the ground. If there is anything that can be used as medicine, remember to take it away. If the injury is cured one day earlier, our ability to resist risks will be stronger."

"You're talking about herbal medicine. I'm sorry. I used to be a medical soldier. I don't use herbs on the battlefield." The seal looked at him with a helpless expression, and then complained:

"Even if I know herbal medicine, do you dare to drink the medicine? Are you afraid of becoming a monster?"

"Drink if you can find me!"

Ivan gave him a blank look, then closed his eyes, carefully distinguishing the dryness and humidity in the air.Faintly aware of a puff of water vapor, he followed the direction of the water vapor and walked towards the depths of the mountain.

Chapter 1 Wind Disaster

The three of them advanced for about 10 minutes, and the boundaries of the forest path gradually blurred. It seemed that very few aborigines had been here.Not far away, several forked roads branched out, winding and extending to the distance, and were soon submerged by the lush vegetation around them.

After climbing to the top of the mountain and then going down, the environment looks even more desolate.The surface exudes a primitive and wild atmosphere. The uninhabited mountain road passes through the steep slope interlaced with sharp teeth, and only weeds and thorns grow out of the cracks in the rock wall.A forest spreads at the far foot of the mountain, all kinds of trees grow in a staggered manner, covering the sky and shivering leaves, shining green light, like a green sea.

"Are you sure there is water below?" the seal asked panting, wiping off his sweat.

"Probably." Ice Bear replied in an uncertain tone.

"Probably." Ivan was also not sure, he just went by feeling, and he didn't know if he could find it.

"Probably...should..."

The seal groaned in pain, then speeded up his pace helplessly, catching up with his teammates who had already distanced themselves.

The dense forest is as quiet as silence, only the desolate wind blows through the canopy one after another.However, after passing through the dense and tangled leaves, the sound of the wind has been weakened to be subtle and soft, rustling, like a stream flowing in the ear.

After entering the forest, the cool water vapor in the air became thicker and thicker. Ivan captured this change very keenly, and his originally uneasy state of mind gradually calmed down.Polar Bear seems to have the same feeling. The more he walks forward, the more confident his expression looks, as if he can see the source of water through the shadows of trees.

The seal saw them faster and faster, and the frequency of complaints also decreased a lot, it didn't take long.Even he felt the change in humidity in the air.

The road in the forest was rough and difficult, and the overlapping branches blocked the three of them, constantly consuming their physical strength.At this time, although Ivan was injured, he was still the strongest physically, so he was the first to bear the brunt and lead the way.

Whoa-!

Hearing the sound of a branch snapping in front of him, the seal couldn't help squinting his eyes.The sun shines down from the dense and thick leaves, leaving only speckled and broken shadows.He looked forward along the road opened by Ivan, as if there was a layer of glass in front of him, a shining reflection reflected in his eyes.

It's a river!

Like a jade belt inlaid under the mountains and forests, the ripples make the sound of the gurgling water, and sparkle with the turbulence of the airflow.

"Water! There's a lot of water!" the seal exclaimed in surprise.

"We're not blind."

The white bear broke the cold water on his head very unkindly, then looked up at the sky at this time, and then looked around to observe the topography here.

It is now dusk, and the sunset glow is spreading across the sky like a ribbon.Amidst one or two lonely crow calls, wisps of the setting sun passed through the mountains and vegetation, reflecting brilliant afterglow on the rippling river water.They are located in the center of the mountains, on the inner side of the curved river.The surrounding mountain walls are very tall, enough to block the heavy rain that hit yesterday, even if there are fish that slip through the net and the dense forest dilutes the rain and dew.

If the water source in front of you is not a river, but a lake, it is basically a safe and pollution-free water source.But now there is a river in front of us. The safety of the river has nothing to do with this place, but is determined by various factors in the upper reaches of the river.

"Don't look, what's the use of just looking!?"
