Everyone gathered around the window, stunned by what they saw in the distance.

Chen Bin's message quickly spread in the group.

Chen Bin: @Everyone, I have some good news! We've found a water source, and for the first three days, anyone who needs water can get it for free! Please bring your own containers to collect the water!

Wang Chen: Huh? Really? Oh my god! That's great! I was planning to go to the beach with Lin Cheng!

Zhou Ke: Yeah, everything's packed! Haha, great! Where is it? Let's go now!

Lin Cheng: There really is water! Oh my god, no way! Wait for me! I'm coming right now! Is it an unlimited water supply?

Chen Bin: Yes! Unlimited water, free for the first three days, after which you will be charged!

Chen Bin: @Lu Yuan, brother, thank you for the water you sent us before. We have water now. When are you going to come and get some?

Lu Yuan shook his head dismissively as he looked at the messages in the group chat: "Hmph, they're already getting cocky! In that case, we might as well take the water!"

So Lu Yuan immediately gathered everyone together: "They've discovered a spring, and they're offering free water for the first three days. We've used up quite a bit of water during this time, so let's go together now! Bring all the containers you can!"

Standing to the side, Mr. Lu, a cigarette dangling from his lips, pondered, "What will they think when they see so many of us?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Thoughts? We have so many people, what could they possibly be thinking? Are they planning to attack us? You're kidding, we're really not afraid of them!"

"Yes! That's right, let's show ourselves! It'll be a good opportunity for them to see our strength! Otherwise, they might think we're easy to bully!"

So everyone found all the containers that could hold water and went to the spring.

Because there aren't many people in this affluent area, and some people live far away, they haven't even reached the area yet.

There aren't many people queuing up for water right now.

From a great distance, Lu Yuan could even see two sheds.

A woman was seen carrying a full basin of water over, then she opened the makeshift door of the shed, and the sound of rushing water came from inside.

Behind her were many basins, clearly indicating that people were queuing up to take a bath.

Lu Yuan and his family were stunned by what they saw.

Wow! They really know how to have fun!

"Yes! I didn't expect they'd even prepare a public bathhouse!"

"I guess there's too much water, and they don't need it. Rather than letting it flow into the desert, they might as well use it all for a bath!"

"They really know how to take advantage of things! I'm truly impressed!"

Everyone looked on with admiration.

Upon arriving, Lu Yuan saw Chen Bin leading a group of people assembling water pipes.

The other person turned around, saw Lu Yuan, and quickly got up and walked over.

"Brother Lin, thank you for your suggestion back then. We really did find water! Look!"

After saying that, Chen Bin looked at Lu Yuan with a smile on his face.

Lu Yuan could clearly read a mocking smile on the other person's face.

"By the way, you're running low on water, aren't you? Then don't be shy! Help yourselves to the water. I'll install some water storage tanks nearby later, so everyone can fill up their water there! That way, we won't waste water resources!"

Lu Yuan smiled gently: "Yes! Congratulations!"

"Haha! It's all thanks to the combined efforts of several of us! And thank you so much too!"

After speaking, Chen Bin looked at the more than thirty people following behind Lu Yuan and was immediately shocked.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, but joined the queue with the others.

Upon reaching the water source, Lu Yuan began to collect water.

The water was very cool, and it had a faint grassy taste, which felt a bit strange.

Lu Yuan took a sip and then told everyone to stop drinking, saying they should take him back for a check-up first.

The people in the wealthy neighborhood didn't care; the first thing they did after getting water was to drink their fill.

The lights were on 24 hours a day, and more and more people came to collect water, soon forming a line of hundreds.

However, Lu Yuan did not intend to have anyone continue fetching water, because the water had a rather strong odor.

He gave the water to Chen Yan for testing.

Soon, news of the discovery of the water source reached the military.

Less than a day later, the military immediately dispatched people to investigate the matter.

Lu Yuan had a vague feeling that Chen Bin was unlikely to be happy.

As expected, after the military arrived and investigated the source of the incident, they left and ordered Chen Bin to be taken away.

Everyone was confused; no one knew what had happened. Several well diggers were also taken away along with Chen Bin.

Next, the place was directly occupied by the military.

The military has stated that all groundwater resources are under its unified control to prevent any attempts to disrupt the market.

Lu Yuan finally understood that anyone who wanted to oppose the military would generally not have a good outcome.

However, Chen Bin's situation seems rather tragic. After all, he had just begun to enjoy the pleasure of unlimited water use when he was arrested.

However, the discovery of this industry chain of private water extraction has led to a situation where people are now secretly extracting water everywhere.

Lu Yuan was also a little confused as to why the military would stop people from digging for water.

After all, people cannot survive without water.
