Chapter 177
That knife won’t work
Water is becoming more and more important.
There are already too many people in the town who are digging wells frantically, hoping to find a little bit of water from the land.
Some people dug next to a dry river, while others picked a relatively low-lying place to start. There were not only one or two people digging wells, but many, many people.
Those people don't have the confidence to say that they will definitely be able to walk to the seaside or to those places where it rains in the east.
Rather than looking for a hope, it is better to stay where you are, maybe you will live longer.
If you want to live longer, water is certainly indispensable.
Digging a well has naturally become the first priority for many families.
Digging a well is a well, whether it can produce water is another matter.
Some people have been digging wells desperately, but they have dug out some messy bricks and rubbish filled with earth.
Some people kept digging eastward and found some moist soil, but when they dug further east, they found no soil.
People with better luck may dig out some mud with water, but the high temperature in the air will not allow that moisture to turn into water directly.
The well dug tomorrow will be a little moist. When we prepare to dig it again tomorrow, the well will have been dried out.
Dry gases always carry away all moisture.
Even if someone actually digs a place, it does not mean that he can own that place.
Someone had dug a well before, and the family had been carefully protecting it without letting anyone see it.
But one day, after everyone in the family drank water from the well, the whole family died.
The reason is simple.
Someone took an opportunity and quietly threw something into their well.
It's not easy to dig out though.
But it would be too easy to destroy it.
That thing happened once, then a second time, a third time...
How can people who cannot drink water every day be able to drink to their heart's content?
Although they did not dare to resist the bullies who came to grab water, they had no hesitation in their hearts whether to rape someone like themselves.
Gradually, the water sources were polluted. Even if someone dug a new well nearby, Yong Wai would feel severe physical discomfort after drinking it.
It felt like the entire place had been poisoned.
But the first legs that drank the water ended miserably, and the mentality of those who had not left the town was about to collapse.
And such a small town environment was not what Zhao Zhan expected.
Now most of the people in the whole town are stuck in the dumplings, and everyone wants to find more water.
At that time, if you ask for some information to be revealed to the outside world, you can attract a large number of people to take the initiative to help him with mines.
The news that Zhao Zhan wanted to spread naturally showed that there were a large amount of reserve resources within Fangxing's walls.
And he had two purposes for doing that.
He wanted to know why the other time-travelers he met came back alive just like himself.
Is it true that the holder of the Demon God System is too weak and has no other way to deal with the time-travelers except for that kind of leg-end?
A system, no matter how powerful it is, has certain limits.
The ability to deprive their system of power like that is very rare in all the worlds.
It is very possible that the demon system on the wrong side can target other systems to attack, without any improvement in the host's true combat strength.
These are all speculations. If you really want to get confirmation, someone needs to pay a little bit of their own insignificant life first.
And those people who listened to the deception and carried a few ladders to the outside of the wall late at night were not the first wave of cannon fodder selected by Zhao Zhan.
The fence is square and very high.
The people standing outside the fence used their flashlights to shine on the outer wall of Fangxing.
"Well, Lao Gao, we can't reach it with the ladder, right?"
"Those are just three-meter or four-meter ladders, which are already long enough. Who would have thought that normal people would build such a high wall!"
"Stop being verbose, let's find a way to put the two ladders together and tie them tightly. Let's go in and see if there are really reserve supplies hidden there!"
"Hurry, everyone, please move quickly. He heard that many people know about it!"
They were not sure how much material was inside.
But according to the information they got, they heard that there might be two or three warehouses of supplies there.
There is no shortage of water or food.
Why did a group of people tie up the ladder and start discussing, if there really are so many supplies inside, how should everyone divide it?
Some people asked if he came with a ladder. No matter what, he would get an extra share.
Someone asked if his whole family could join the battle. The whole family of four was here, and there was nothing wrong with taking a little more.
Some people even said that not only were several people dumped there, but they were also pushing two-legged carts. The carts put a lot of things in Cocoa, and whoever asked them to help transport them later would have to pay a bonus.
It seems that supplies are scarce.
Almost all the people present came here as a team, and no one was willing to let his side lose points even by a few points.
The ladders on that side were not tied up properly, and a fire started to break out on that side.
But when it came to fighting, no one moved their legs.
After all, everyone brought a knife when they came.
"Stop making any noise!"
"Damn it, I haven't seen every single thing, so I'm just wondering how to divide it."
"We don't have to use our own brains to think about it. Is it true that there are two or three warehouses as mentioned? Can we people completely move them away?"
"Now hurry up and go in first. How many things can you move out?"
"After the news gets out in a few days, we won't be able to move here even if we think about it again!"
The leader of the team stood up, scolded everyone a few times, and then told everyone to do what they should do quickly.
I saw that the ladder was leaning against the wall.
Zhao Zhan, who was watching from Yuanji, rubbed his dry eyeballs, then picked up the binoculars to carefully observe the consequences of those people coming to the east.
Since he cannot find anyone to tempt him, he must not be among those people.
If those dozen people could settle the matter, it would certainly be an unexpected surprise for him.
But if those people died, then he would have a better excuse to trick more people into coming.
Just when those people started to climb up the ladder.
In the dark night.
A pair of bright eyes suddenly appeared on the wall.
The people in Didong were originally shining their flashlights on me, but the appearance of those eyes made many people scream in fright.
Just waiting for everyone to watch.
Only then did I realize that a cat had disappeared on the wall at some point.
"Fuck, dead cat!"
"It scared my uncle back then!"
Among a group of people, the person who was most frightened was the person standing on the ladder.
He yelled a few curse words, then took out a dagger from behind and shook it at the cat.
"Damn cat, get out of here!"
"As for Bu Hui, you can catch me and make soup with me later!"
