Chapter 813 Natural Disaster is Approaching
When Captain Nie and the others heard Ye Wanxi say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Director Hong and his colleague; if this had happened before, they would never have agreed to Ye Wanxi's words.
Can you just add anything to the water source? If something really goes wrong, not only him, but the entire factory can't afford to take responsibility.
After witnessing the two men's skills firsthand and learning their identities from Captain Nie, Director Hong felt a lingering fear.
The reason he was able to become the director of this water plant back then was because he was honest, kind, and meticulous. Over the years, he has indeed lived up to people's expectations.
The water from the Shuizhen Water Plant has never had any problems; it has always been the safest and most reassuring, and that remains true even now.
But what happened this time was completely beyond his comprehension.
Things undetectable to the naked eye or even instruments seep into their water sources and spread to every corner of the town, yet they remain completely unaware.
Among those who drink this water are their relatives, neighbors, friends, and many strangers and tourists they don't know.
If something really goes wrong because of their water plant, even if the blame doesn't fall on them, they probably won't be able to forgive themselves.
Captain Nie took a deep breath and said gratefully, "Then I'll have to trouble you two."
"It should be."
As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, she felt the little guy in her arms stiffen, bar his teeth, and stare at Captain Nie who had taken two steps forward with a wary look.
Captain Nie paused, hesitant to move forward.
Ye Wanxi just said that if she doesn't receive a gift from the little one willingly, her blessing will turn into a curse.
He didn't want to be cursed with bad luck just because he took a few extra steps; that would be such a loss!
Ye Wanxi could also see that the little guy was uncomfortable. Although the little Yingyu had managed to get the little guy to let her carry him out, his wariness of humans was not something that could be eliminated in a short time. With so many people surrounding him, it was already good that they hadn't made a move.
"Please keep an eye on things after this. We'll head back now."
Captain Nie hurriedly assured her, "Miss Ye, rest assured, we will handle the aftermath properly."
"Um."
"However..." Captain Nie said, then seemed to remember something, and asked before the two left, "Miss Ye, are you planning to take this little guy with you?"
Ye Wanxi looked up at him and said with a smile, "Besides me, Captain Nie, who else do you think can take it away?"
Captain Nie knew, of course, that this little white fox, though seemingly harmless, was actually quite sharp-tongued.
Just look at how that little thing bared its teeth as soon as I got close; if I were to forcibly take it away, it might provoke it into self-destructing on the spot, taking everyone with it. But...
"So what happened here today..."
Feng Tianyu knew what he was worried about: "Just report the truth to Xiao Jihui."
"all?"
"all."
Captain Nie was stunned. His gaze swept back and forth between the two men, and after confirming that they were genuinely not worried about this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Miss Ye and her companion are not like them. If someone really wanted to make a move against them, who knows who would be the unlucky one.
"Since Miss Ye is planning to take this little guy away, then this fish..."
Ye Wanxi paused, not because she suddenly remembered Xiao Yingyu, but because she remembered their original purpose for coming here.
She turned to look at the little shrew, whose eyes were red and puffy from crying not long ago: "You came here because of your friends, so will there still be floods after we leave?"
Factory Director Hong and the others were slightly taken aback, looking at Ye Wanxi and the little flying fish that they had mistaken for a smart toy not long ago.
The little snail didn't answer immediately, but suddenly stopped, its two wings tensed up, and its body straightened up as if it were exerting force.
A moment later, the little snail's belly suddenly swelled up, and became swollen larger and larger.
Guh—
Just as everyone was staring at the little snail's belly, fearing that it might accidentally burst, a large bubble suddenly floated out of its mouth.
"this……"
Several images flashed rapidly within the transparent bubble, which shimmered with iridescent colors: torrential rain, churning waves, and a dam being battered by the rain.
Snap—
Before anyone could take another look at the scene inside, the fragile bubble burst, and the scene inside vanished completely.
The little snail's tense body then softened, and it suddenly fell from mid-air.
If Feng Tianyu hadn't been quick-witted and managed to grab it, it would probably have been smashed on the ground and turned into a real salted fish.
Seeing her little friend wasting spiritual energy to predict the flood for these humans, Fei Fei in Ye Wanxi's arms was anxious and kept thrashing about. Her gaze toward Captain Nie and the others became increasingly hostile.
Captain Nie and his companions couldn't care less about all that. Although the scene in the water bubble had only flashed by, it was enough to make everyone wary and fearful.
"Miss Ye, this..."
"The flood will still come, it's just a natural disaster."
Captain Nie and the others weren't stupid; they quickly understood what Ye Wanxi meant.
Feifei's resentment was caused by human error and has now been resolved. The appearance of the little snail is both for its friend and for the floods caused by the upcoming heavy rainfall.
This flood is a natural disaster, beyond human control; the only way to mitigate the damage is through early prevention.
"I understand. I will inform Vice Minister Xiao as soon as possible and make arrangements and preparations accordingly."
"Hmm." Ye Wanxi paused, then added, "Necessary notices will be issued after the water supply is released."
The resentment among the town's residents remains, and most are probably in a state of agitation.
Even the smallest, most trivial matter could set them off, let alone something as important as this matter of life and death.
A slight misstep could be the last straw that breaks the camel's back; don't let things get chaotic before the water even comes.
Perhaps the person who set this up had this idea from the beginning: to spread resentment throughout the town before the weather changed and natural disasters struck.
Everyone already harbored resentment, and since Fei Fei was a spirit beast, if it were to die here, Heaven might very well increase the flood from 70-80% to 100%.
Countless people will die here, and the wronged souls, under the influence of resentment, are very likely to transform into vengeful ghosts.
By then, this place will probably really become a living hell.
Captain Nie and the others had obviously thought of this as well, and their expressions grew increasingly grim: "This matter requires Director Hong's cooperation. The rainstorm could come at any time, so we must hurry."
Upon hearing this, Director Hong also became nervous: "I will have someone fix the equipment as soon as possible, and deliver Miss Ye's medicine powder as soon as the water supply is restored tomorrow morning."
"One week."
