When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles
Chapter 279 1 Go back and investigate
There was a lot of noise at the water source. Many people had been relying on this water source for their livelihoods in the past few days. The poisoning incident suddenly occurred, which immediately caused a lot of panic and worry.
If there is really a problem with the water source, how can they survive when they neither have water-related abilities nor have any water storage?
Even though there was a man who knew how to find water, he could only find two pitiful sources of water!
If this one has a problem and has to be scrapped, not only will the remaining one be too far away and inconvenient to get water, but even if the government helps to transport and release water, how can its safety be guaranteed?
What if the water from that source is also toxic?
Thinking of this, many people can't help but turn their attention to the discoverer of the water source.
It would be very strange for a water source to appear out of nowhere in the desert. So, is it possible that the water converted by that person's supernatural power has problems in its own right?
As time goes by, the water quality will become bad and harmful. If people drink this water, their bodies will experience poisoning reactions?
In short, there are more and more doubts about the source of the water, and some people even began to put the blame on the person who discovered the water source.
Some even went so far as to mock him, saying that the man was trying to gain a good reputation by using problematic water to win people's hearts.
For a time, controversies continued and public opinion was boiling.
In an inconspicuous corner in the distance, Pei Yang watched a good show. Seeing that his goal was achieved, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.
Li Ying was originally a good-for-nothing waste, but he got lucky and awakened a supernatural power that he had never even heard of.
What a bullshit water-finding technique, it's just a trick to fool people.
Li Ying wanted to use this opportunity to turn things around and become a savior admired by everyone, but he just couldn't let him do that.
Look at these ignorant people in front of me, each of them is filled with righteous indignation, as if they can see through everything with their sharp eyes.
In fact, he still easily played it in his hands.
Li Ying wanted to be a good person and win people's hearts, but he didn't know that human hearts are the most greedy. When you give, they take it for free and think it's their right.
But once a problem occurs and his water source can no longer bring benefits and hope to those people, they will naturally feel dissatisfied, unwilling, and even resentful.
Ha! Li Ying finally got herself a bunch of ungrateful people.
I think this kind of doubt will soon get out of control, the water source will be ruined, and Li Ying's reputation will be ruined.
Even if he can find water again, I'm afraid no one will dare to trust him again.
Not to mention being a savior, I'm afraid that by then he would be like a rat crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat him.
No matter how powerful Pei Chonglin's mental system is, it is impossible for him to punish everyone in the desert at once!
There's something wrong with Li Ying's water, let's see how he can still treat him as a treasure!
And Tang Shisen, hasn’t he always regretted losing such a funny guy?
It's a good opportunity for him to see how correct it is to give up Li Ying.
Let them all think that Li Ying is good!
If someone dies due to the water he uses, Li Ying will be a real murderer, and he will have to stand trial for causing public outrage.
Would Young Master Pei disregard the reputation of the Pei family for such a person?
The more he thought about it, the more relieved Pei Yang felt. He had done his job perfectly, and now he could retire with honor.
It won't be long before he hears the news of those people's deaths, oh, and also the grand scene of Li Ying, the culprit, being brought to justice.
Then he can come over and see the fun.
Thinking of this, he happily returned to the camp. Tang Shisen took his men to get the crystal core. Now he had the final say in the camp.
He will just wait for Tang Shisen to come back and see how he reacts!
……
Zhu Da Neng directly transferred the crystal core acquisition task assigned to him by Pei Chonglin to Sha Jingjing. After giving her a few instructions, he hurried back to the no-man's land to report the situation.
As soon as Pei Chonglin heard this, he knew something was wrong and came over to check the situation immediately.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Li Ying couldn't help but ask him about it. Only then did she realize that there was a problem with the water source at the Huoyan Mountain base.
Some people even showed symptoms of poisoning.
Li Ying knew very well that the water produced by his special ability was not suitable for drinking.
If there really was a problem, such as the poisonous rain from the little black cloud, it would have shown up long ago.
Pei Chonglin comforted him at the right time:
"Don't worry! At that time, every water source was strictly inspected before it was allowed to be drunk. Not only those people, but also our meals and drinking water in the past two days were basically obtained from there. If there is a problem, we should be the first to notice it."
Zhu Daneng had already recounted the entire incident in detail, and Pei Chonglin immediately found the key point as soon as he heard it, and saw that the water men had been deliberately led away halfway.
Although the time is very short, for some people who are determined, even if it is just a second, what they want to do can be easily done with certain means.
Then he presented another supporting evidence: "Moreover, the first water source in the west has been used for a longer time, but there are no problems, which shows that the problem is not with the water."
After listening to this, Li Ying nodded heavily: "Well, I am still very sure about the water quality. Since it is not a problem of water quality, it must be caused by people."
To be honest, he used his supernatural powers to bring out living water in order to solve the drinking water crisis in the desert. His original intention was to save people, not to harm them.
Even though the true source of the living water is unknown, he firmly believes that there is no problem with the water source.
Pei Chonglin was right. If there was a problem, he, as the discoverer, would be the first to notice it.
What's more, it happened too coincidentally that all the troops were sent to hunt for zombie crystal cores.
And they have been busy in the no-man's land.
The guards at both the camp and the water source suddenly relaxed, which gave someone an opportunity to take advantage.
As it was related to Li Ying's innocence, Pei Chonglin did not hesitate any longer. He would find out the situation as soon as he went back:
"That's right! I'm going to go back and find out who's behind all this trouble. Xiaoying, I promise to seek justice for you!"
Li Ying thought about it and said, "Then I'll go too!"
"Aren't you going to take a break?"
Li Ying pouted: "Why are you still taking a break? Let's go. We haven't finished clearing the place yet. We can still have time to finish it later."
Then he smiled helplessly and bitterly: "Besides, I don't want to be scolded while doing good things. I will never do thankless things again."
It is no exaggeration to say that his water source has pulled many people back from the brink of death of thirst. It is unfair enough that he silently contributes without asking for anything in return.
Why are there still so many people doubting his character even though he has enjoyed all the benefits?
Moreover, he couldn't understand what the intentions of the people who tampered with the water source were. What benefit would he get by destroying the water source and ruining his reputation?
Seeing Li Ying's insistence, Pei Chonglin readily agreed: "That's it! Okay, let's go together."
Ha! The person behind the scenes is really brave, but he forgot that he is behind Li Ying, and he doesn't mind using his supernatural powers to interrogate everyone...
