Chapter 258 Shen Que, is there something wrong with this water?

"Damn it, two beasts, why are you chasing them? They just took two crystals, right?"

One of the women crossed her arms, her face full of impatience.

"Brother Fan, let's just kill these two."

"You can take it back and eat it later." the woman continued.

The man called Brother Fan looked at the two fat wolf and dog in front of him and nodded, "Okay."

He had never eaten wolf meat, but he had eaten dog meat, and it tasted really good.

Thinking of the smell of dog meat, the man's eyes changed when he looked at the eagle.

“Ouch!”

“Woof woof woof!”

The two men's eyes flashed with malicious light, which made the two feel uneasy and alert. They rushed towards them without hesitation.

One of them has lightning powers, while the other is good at fire powers.

Their strength far exceeds that of the zombies and other superpowers they encountered before, putting the two at a disadvantage in the battle.

Just as Eggplant was dodging the wind-related power, a bolt of lightning struck Eggplant's head.

At the critical moment, Shen Que quickly threw out a ball of fire and successfully blocked the lightning.

At the same time, Meng Ci controlled the green plants around him, rolled the two into them and took them away from the battlefield, while he himself bravely rushed forward.

In the blink of an eye, the four men started a fierce fight.

The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

Suddenly, several sharp ice knives came rushing from all directions and attacked the four people who were fighting fiercely.

The four of them hurriedly dodged to the side and looked around vigilantly.

"Lieutenant Lu?" Meng Ci spoke with some surprise when he saw the person coming.

The person who came was Lu Chen, who was wearing a military green short-sleeved shirt and a pair of high-top boots.

Every time Meng Ci saw the boots on Lu Chen's feet, he was curious whether his feet were hot.

"No, now I should call you Captain Lu."

Meng Ci thought of the official announcement he saw two days ago, which commended a group of people who made major contributions in the end times.

And Lu Chen was among them.

Although Lu Chen is now a captain, he also serves as a deputy battalion commander.

Everyone also knew that with the contributions Lu Chen had made in recent years, it was only a matter of time before he became a major.

When the man and woman heard that Meng Ci knew two people, their faces turned grim.

“Comrade Meng, Comrade Shen!”

After greeting Meng Ci and the others, Lu Chen turned to look at the man and woman standing next to him. He nodded slightly to indicate that he had greeted them.

He then began to question the four men as to why they had clashed.

Meng Ci succinctly told Lu Chen what had just happened, but did not exaggerate or add any false information.

Therefore, when Lu Chen turned his gaze to the two men, they had no choice but to admit the fact.

However, the woman among them was still trying to defend herself.

"We got the crystals by relying on our strength. They can't even keep two crystals, which only shows that they are useless!"

Originally, the woman wanted to ask Meng Ci and the others for help if they couldn't defeat them, but thinking that Lu Chen was a soldier, she didn't say it.

After all, there are too many zombies now. If they are driven out of the base, no matter how strong they are, they will not be able to withstand the siege of zombies.

When Meng Ci heard this, he rolled his eyes. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen someone so shameless.

"Captain Lu, you have to make the decision for us." Meng Ci crossed his arms, leaned on Shen Que, yawned and spoke.

I came out to find crystals, not to waste my supernatural powers on people like this.

Lu Chen knew how important people with special abilities were now, so he might as well just ask the two of them to hand over the crystals and give some more to Meng Ci and the other two.

Naturally, the man and woman were not happy about this, but even if it was two against three, they would not necessarily lose.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, a group of soldiers came over.

"Brother Fan, let's give them the things."

"The base is only a small piece of land, there's always a chance we'll run into them."

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As long as there is a chance to meet again, I can always get back what I have suffered this time.

Brother Fan listened to the advice and threw the four crystals in his hand out.

Eggplant and the eagle stepped forward, moving their bodies flexibly and accurately catching the four crystal clear stones with their sharp claws.

Then, they displayed amazing strength and sense of balance. With the help of their strong hind legs, they stood up and walked steadily towards where Meng Ci and others were.

Especially the eggplant, its height when standing up is almost the same as that of an ordinary person, or even taller than some people.

Although the eagle is relatively short, it is much taller than an ordinary woman.

At this time, a group of soldiers coming from a distance noticed the eagle, and one of them recognized it immediately.

"Is that an eagle?"

"It does look alike, but doesn't the eagle have a lame leg?"

"Yes, I remember that the eagle had a scar on his face, and he wasn't that big."

…

There were more than a dozen soldiers in that team, and they were talking in low voices.

After the man and woman gave the crystal stones, they left.

After getting the crystal, Meng Ci said goodbye after knowing that Lu Chen and the others came out to kill the zombies.

Half an hour later, Meng Ci and Shen Que drove to a river.

"Come on, come on, there is water here."

"The water here is quite clear. We can take some back so we don't have to spend points to exchange it."

"Xiao Su, what are you doing? We haven't drunk the water yet, don't put your feet in it."

…

There was a small team by the river, a total of eight people, both men and women.

After seeing the river, two of them quickly raised a handful of water and fed it to their mouths.

Some have already taken off their shoes and socks, planning to wash their feet and relax.

Because it had rained for about ten days, both surface water and groundwater had reappeared.

However, after the zombies became prevalent, the authorities issued a notice saying that the water outside was poisonous and not allowed to be drunk, and the official water price was raised again.

At first, the residents of the base were very cautious and bought water resources at the item exchange point.

But a few days later, a person with special abilities went out and saw that the river water was clear. The water he brought with him was gone, so he drank the river water, and nothing happened after that.

After some psychics and ordinary people found out, they didn't want to spend their points on buying water that was available everywhere, so they filled the river that the previous man had drunk.

Now the river water is clear and keeps flowing. How could there be anything wrong with the running water? Therefore, everyone couldn't wait to drink the water.

Meng Ci and Shen Que also stopped the car and got out.

"Chen Que, do you think there is something wrong with this water?" Meng Ci asked.

"Yes!" Shen Que said firmly.

When Meng Ci heard this, he also came to the river, wanting to observe carefully to see if there was anything unusual.

"You drink water upstream, and I wash my feet downstream. It won't affect you!"

The man called Xiao Su couldn't wait to put his feet in the water.

It's been hot these days and his feet are sweaty, so washing his feet would make him feel much more comfortable.
