Chapter 248: The Poisonous Water Disaster: The Struggle and Self-rescue of the Red Flag Brigade

Fortunately, with everyone's cooperation, no one has been found to be poisoned.

However, the scene before them made every villager heartbroken.

The number of livestock deaths is heartbreaking. The carcasses of ducks and chickens can be seen everywhere in the village. They lie in all directions, their once vibrant lives now turned cold and stiff.

The feathers are no longer shiny, and the once lively eyes have lost their luster, as if silently telling of the sudden disaster.

Even three buffaloes, the agricultural tool that people relied on most, were poisoned to death, and the Red Flag Brigade only had six buffaloes in total.

This time they lost half of their land. How could the villagers not be filled with hatred?

"What can we do? Our buffaloes, how are we going to work in the fields from now on?" An old farmer squatted beside the dead buffalo, holding his head in his hands, his voice full of despair and helplessness.

His rough hands kept shaking and his eyes were filled with deep confusion.

"Who is so wicked? They are trying to destroy our livelihood!" a young farmer shouted angrily.

His face turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked the stone next to him hard, as if that was the person who poisoned him.

The fish in the pond were not spared either.

Fish ponds of all sizes are filled with fish with their white bellies turned up.

The originally calm water surface now looked like a sea of ​​death, and the fishy smell filled the air, making people feel sick.

The villagers were all in grief as they watched the chickens, ducks and fish being poisoned to death.

The entire Red Flag Brigade was shrouded in wailing.

"This is food, this is hope, this is the foundation of life!" A woman collapsed on the ground, holding a dead chicken in her arms, tears flowing, wetting the chicken's feathers.

She cried, her voice hoarse and sad, "My family was counting on these chickens to lay eggs and make money, but now they are all gone."

"Oh, Heaven, oh, earth, who the hell is this to do such a cruel and cruel thing?" An old man sighed towards the sky. The wrinkles on his face became deeper, as if he had aged a few years in an instant.

His body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of grief, anger and helplessness.

Some were holding ducks, some were holding chickens, and they were crying in despair.

Some people even wanted to go down to the river to catch fish. There was a glimmer of hope in their eyes that perhaps they could still save some of the losses.

"Are you crazy? This water is poisonous!" The people next to him rushed over and grabbed him, shouting.

"I know it's poisonous, but it's such a pity that the fish died like this." The person being pulled struggled, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"If you get poisoned, what will happen to your family? We have already suffered such a huge loss, we can't let anyone get hurt again."

The villager who was pulling the man tried to persuade him, but he held the other person tightly with both hands and refused to let go.

In the chaos, some people even fainted from crying.

Everyone hurriedly carried the unconscious person aside, pinched his Ren Zhong acupoint, and shouted, causing panic at the scene.

Fortunately, no one was poisoned.

This is the greatest blessing He Yuzhu has ever heard.

The losses have been incurred, but they cannot be allowed to continue.

The water cannot be polluted anymore, otherwise the entire Red Flag Brigade will be destroyed.

If the entire Red Flag Brigade is polluted, how will the thousands of people in the Red Flag Brigade survive?

Therefore, it is imperative to solve the problem of toxic water sources.

Finding the real culprit is important, but solving the problem of water contaminated by poison is more important.

He Yuzhu suppressed his inner grief and anger and began to arrange the tasks in an orderly manner.

He shouted, "Sanni'er, go gather the women in the village and dig a huge pit to burn and bury the chickens, ducks, buffaloes and other livestock that have been poisoned. Be careful not to get any poison on yourself."

"Captain He, this... this is too cruel. These livestock are the result of our hard work." Sanni'er's eyes were red and her voice was filled with tears.

"I know, Sanni'er, but we have to do this, otherwise the virus will spread and bring us greater disaster." He Yuzhu looked at her, his eyes full of helplessness and determination.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Sanni'er gritted her teeth, turned around and ran to gather the women.

"Uncle Li, go gather the men in the village, scoop up the fish from the pond, and dig a deep pit to bury them. Move quickly, and everyone should work together to overcome this difficult time."

"Captain He, don't worry, we will handle it as soon as possible." Although Uncle Li's face was full of grief, he still nodded firmly.

"The elders in the village are taking good care of the children in the entire brigade and preventing them from coming into contact with the poisonous water. The children are our future and nothing must happen to them."

The old people nodded one after another. Although they were old, there was determination in their eyes. Protecting the children was their most important task at the moment.

As everyone left, He Yuzhu flashed into the space.

He hoped to find something in the space that could purify the poisonous water.

He was extremely anxious, searching everywhere in the space, muttering to himself: "There must be a way, there must be a way to save the village's water source."

He searched every corner of the space, not missing any potentially useful items, and prayed silently in his heart that a miracle would happen so that the Red Flag Brigade could survive this unprecedented crisis.

While dealing with the livestock, the women gathered around the dead animals, reluctant to take action.

"I have raised this chicken for so long, feeding it every day and watching it grow. Now I have to burn it. I feel sad." A woman stroked the dead chicken, tears streaming down her face.

"I don't want to do it either, but this is for the whole village. If we don't get rid of it, we will all be in danger." Another woman advised, trying hard to hold back her grief.

"Then let's move quickly and let them suffer less." An elderly woman picked up the tools and started digging a large pit.

The men were standing by the pond, looking at the dead fish all over the pond, their faces heavy with worry.

"I've raised these fish for so long, waiting to sell them at a good price to improve my family's life, but now they're all gone." A man who looked like a fisherman sighed.

"Don't think too much about it for now. The important thing is to catch the fish and dispose of them. Otherwise, the water will become more and more smelly and the pollution will become more serious." said the person next to him.

So the men picked up their fishing nets and started to salvage the dead fish.

Their movements were mechanical and heavy, and every time they caught a fish, they felt more sorrow in their hearts.

The entire Red Flag Brigade was busy, grief and despair filled the air, but in this darkness, there was also a trace of tenacity and hope.

Everyone knows that only by uniting together can they overcome this difficulty. Even if the road ahead is full of unknowns and difficulties, they must move forward bravely for the future of the Red Flag Brigade and for survival...
