Chapter 786: Searching for Water Source

punished you yet! As my bodyguard, you should be careful and vigilant. How could you fall for such a street trick If it weren't for the young master coming to our rescue, we wouldn't know where they w..."Oh! Did the camera catch the killer Was anyone caught"

Lin ripples asked curiously.

"Nothing was captured, only footage of the two people adjusting the screen."

Yuan Chongming shook his head and said.

These two people are really interesting, installing cameras at home themselves. Could it be…

Liàn Yī deliberately raised an eyebrow, the rest of her words unspoken. Yuán Chóngmíng understood.

"No, they seem to be saying they made plans with you for tonight to catch you!"

Yuan Chongming said.

"If they want to catch me, then I'd better have something for them to catch! Besides, I never said I was going to the meeting; it's just their wishful thinking.

It never occurred to me that the two of them would end up together. A researcher and someone who sells themselves for a living...

The ripples carry a hidden meaning.

How did you know

Yuan Chong was clearly a little surprised.

"I just met her yesterday, and I didn't know about it. It was my pet whirlwind who smelled it, and the whirlwind also said that Mu Mianmian had the smell of other males on her body, and there was even a smell that he hated most."

Now I understand what Feng meant by the most disgusting smell. It must be referring to Millet Dragon.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Meow!" My dear master, you're using my name to deceive people again.

Ripple didn't care, he directly messed up the short hair on Feng's head and then smiled at Yuan Chongming.

Yuan Chongming coughed lightly. He really had no way to refute it.

Because the weather is so hot right now, just going outside for a short while will leave you drenched in sweat. And with water resources being so scarce, truly not everyone can shower every day. As a result, everyone has a bit of an odor. But since everyone smells the same, no one minds anyone else's smell, which explains things. This also explains why the cyclone's nose is so sensitive.

"I'm coming to tell you this not out of any malice, just hoping you'll be careful with your actions and avoid getting caught. Although it's a disaster now, order is slowly returning, and you'll still have to live among people in the future."

Yuan Chongming said sincerely.

I know, I'll be careful.

The ripples didn't think the other person was meddling, after all, it was for her own good. The two of them were tacit understanding. Yuan Chongming sat for a while and then left.

The next two days passed peacefully. After all, in this kind of weather, it was normal for people to die from the heat or dehydration every day. So Mu Mianmian and Mizilong's deaths didn't make any waves at all, let alone an autopsy. The incident naturally passed without a trace.

Three days later, the scout team received a new mission: to search for a water source.

The ripples don't actually want to run away. After all, the extreme heat is entering its last month, and a big earthquake will follow that. The underground rivers will change their course, and the surface of the land will warp, forming new lakes or ditches. That way, there will be no shortage of water then. But she wouldn't say anything like that out loud.

I just reminded Yuan Chongming before leaving, and I used the same excuse as always: a whirlwind.

"The whirlwind has been extremely agitated these past few days, even scratching me yesterday. Luckily, I was quick enough to dodge it. Usually, animals this volatile are signaling something is wrong. We have a mission and need to leave, so we can't bring Jia Yao and Liu's family with us. You should remind them just in case, if anything happens they should leave their residence immediately."

"Meow," kitty master, when did I scratch you

The whirlwind tilted its head, looking at the ripples with a puzzled expression in its cat-like eyes. Ripples nervously stroked the other's head, trying to comfort it.

"Okay, I'll remind Uncle Liu and Aunt Xu. Before we leave, I'll prepare a small backpack for Jia Yao and put some emergency supplies in it, within easy reach so he can evacuate immediately if there is an emergency."

Yuan Chongming, after hearing this, said thoughtfully, clearly taking Lian Yi's reminder seriously.

"Given the current circumstances, it's best to stay out of trouble. Anything could happen, but these are just my speculations. Feel free to take them into consideration."

Ripples smiled and said.

"I understand, we're friends, otherwise you wouldn't have reminded me."

Yuan Chongming was still considerate and told Lianyi the departure time for this mission before returning to his residence to prepare for his departure.

The next day, the entire squad of nine gathered again. This time, they had a van that could seat everyone. Sun Zhou was driving this time.

“This time we went to the Shen Shan Mountains. The mountains are always covered in snow, and with temperatures this high right now, the snow should be melting and there should be streams running down. But it’s been two and a half months of scorching heat, and there hasn't been a single drop of melted snow water. That's why we were sent to investigate.”

After getting in the car, Situ Yi detailed the task's content.

Liàn Yī listened and also began to ponder in her heart. Logically speaking, Qímǔ City shouldn't be short of water, after all, it is backed by the Shénshān mountain range. She was worried that after prolonged high temperatures, the floodwaters would once again inundate Qímǔ City in the basin. But so much time had passed and there was not a single sign of movement. She was also very curious.

Having made their mission clear, everyone marched toward the Divine Mountain Range. It was then that Tang Tianming interjected:

"The mountains over there seem to have nomadic people living beneath them, wonder how they're doing."

Didn't they retreat to a safe location

Zhao Jia asked directly.

"I don't know about that."

"There are indeed people living there, a minority group, not many of them. People were arranged to go there before, but they are self-sufficient and chose to stay instead of moving to a safe haven. They feel safer here."

As deputy captain and a genuine military police officer, Situ Yi knew more about the situation.

"So, let's find them first and have them lead us to the sacred mountain. That way, it'll be safer."

Yuan Chongming said that he never fights unprepared battles, he is responsible for his teammates.

"Okay, I've dealt with them before, so I should be able to talk to them."

We have temporarily set the direction of action, and everyone is resting with their eyes closed in the car. It takes at least two days to get from the temporary base to Mount Shen, it's not a short journey.

After two days and two nights of trekking, the group finally arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain. As they got closer, they felt the long-awaited coolness.

"As expected of a great snowy mountain, I finally feel a hint of coolness."

Zhao Jia excitedly said.

"Don't be too caught up in the coolness, it's best to add a layer of clothing. When the weather is hot, your body pores are open for heat dissipation. Suddenly becoming cold can strain your body and make you more susceptible to catching a cold."

Ripple reminded.

"Understood, I brought long-sleeved clothes before coming."

Zhao Jia immediately spoke and then started rummaging through her backpack.

Half an hour later, everyone had changed into long shirts and pants, feeling just right, very comfortable.

This time, it was Si Tu Yi who led the way. He walked for a while, then stopped and looked around.

What's wrong Is something the matter

Chu Hong asked.

"Where did all the people who used to live around here go"

"Are you sure you're in the right place"

Sun Zhou asked boldly.

“There’s only one main road in the Shennong Mountains, so you shouldn’t get lost.”e you are mentally prepared.""Aunt Zhen, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."The ripples nodded eagerly.And after half an hour, the rain gradually lessened. The group of martial artists who had gone...
