The man in black adjusted himself and went back into the water.
This time he held his breath and was sure he would be able to take that thing out.
The man passed by the various furniture and rotting corpses floating in the water, and followed his memory to the Bai family's warehouse.
The lake water was turbid, and he couldn't see what was ahead. He could only rely on his senses to land at the entrance of the Bai family's warehouse.
But after seeing the scene in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot and veins on his hands bulged.
I saw that the iron plate was violently opened, revealing an empty warehouse!
Someone got there first!
Who was it? Who snatched the treasure away from him?
The Lord sent out seven people, but the rest died in the flood, leaving only him.
How should he explain to the Lord!
The man sneaked into the warehouse with the last glimmer of fantasy, hoping to find the thing.
But there was not even a hair in the warehouse!
The man surfaced, his eyes full of murderous intent and his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
Carefully recall every detail in your mind.
Finally, his cold gaze turned straight in the direction where Xie Ling and the others disappeared.
————
On the other side, Xie Ling and his friends soon arrived in Xiangzhou.
There were a lot of people in Xiangzhou. The water was full of people and every boat was full of supplies.
Xiangzhou is the largest city in the southwest, and many people want to take advantage of the situation to find some valuable things.
If you are lucky enough to find gold and silver from a wealthy family, you might become rich when the flood is over.
Xie Ling went into the water alone this time.
There were quite a few people in the water, and all you could see were white thighs.
To avoid being seen by many people, she used her wind ability to become invisible and conduct quick investigation.
The city of Xiangzhou had become a mess, with broken tiles and various clothes floating in the water everywhere.
Following 0188's instructions, Xie Ling came to the wealthy family area.
The water here is very deep, and many people couldn't hold on halfway through swimming.
Therefore, nothing was taken away and everything remained the same as before.
Xie Ling put on diving equipment and swam over, entering each household's warehouse and pocketing all the valuables.
Whether it’s food or gold and silver, stock up on them all!
Since it’s free, why not miss it?
When passing by a pharmacy, Xie Ling discovered a large number of medicinal herbs.
Although these herbs were soaked in water, they should still be usable after being dried in the space, so Xie Ling also put them into the space.
Don’t waste!
Soon, all the gold, silver and grain in Xiangzhou were taken away by Xie Ling!
Just as he was about to leave, 0188 spoke up, "Master, don't leave yet. Xiangzhou has a well-developed shipbuilding industry. How about you go and see if there are any ships that haven't been damaged?"
Xie Ling turned around after hearing that, her eyes showing some interest.
She likes ancient ships.
After searching for a while, they finally found a large ship floating in the water next to a large house on the outskirts of the city.
Although it is not as big as modern cruise ship rowing boats, it is larger in size and can probably carry hundreds of people.
Xie Ling swam over to check the extent of the damage to the ship.
She didn't want to leave a bunch of junk in the space.
Fortunately, the parts and deck of the ship were all intact, with only several large holes in the canvas caused by water.
Half of the word "white" can be vaguely seen.
Xie Ling frowned and asked, "0188, get the information about the Bai family in Qingzhen and Xiangzhou for me."
"Received! Extracting data from the "Seven Kingdoms" - there is only one Bai family in the entire Xiangzhou. His family has been building ships for generations and is the largest shipbuilding family in Beijiang. Qingzhen is where the Bai family's old house is located. Currently, his family is doing business in Xiangzhou. The Bai family only builds one ship every three years, and it is probably this one."
Xie Ling looked thoughtful.
That's what she said! No wonder the Bai family in Qingzhen is so rich, it's not what a wealthy family in a small town should have.
Not thinking about it anymore, Xie Ling sneaked into the Bai family shipyard and continued to look for usable tools and materials.
Lingnan is also close to the sea, and she happens to have a book on shipbuilding in her space. She can try to build a ship by herself when the time comes.
Xie Ling has strong hands-on and learning abilities.
Entering the Bai family’s shipyard, there were many stone axes, oars, and rudder parts.
Xie Ling checked and found all the available income space.
What puzzled her was that there was a lot of blood in the Bai family's shipyard.
The blood solidified on the door panel and on the ground scattered in the water, turning into blood threads that spread out like red ribbons, which was very strange.
Most of the bodies floated to the surface, and Xie Ling only found a man's body at the back door.
He fell face down, his hands tightly gripping the door sill, as if he had some lingering resentment.
Xie Ling turned over the man's face, which was swollen from being soaked in water.
But judging by the fine lines on his skin, he should be a young man.
There was a fatal, jagged bloody mark on the neck, indicating that he had been killed with one blow.
Xie Ling performed a simple autopsy and found that he had died two days ago.
Wasn’t that the day the flood first happened?
But he died from a knife wound?
Xie Ling frowned.
So all that blood is the blood of the Bai family.
Before the flood came, the Bai family was wiped out.
She sighed.
Just as she was about to leave, she found that the end of her diving equipment was entangled in the corner of the man's clothes.
She lowered her head and tried to untie it, but found a white jade pendant between the man's clothes.
There is a word "Wan" engraved on the jade pendant.
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.
She didn't believe in metaphysics, but she was a little puzzled at the moment.
She didn't find this jade pendant when she performed the autopsy just now.
Besides, she has always been efficient in doing things, so how could she get the instrument tangled with a man's clothes?
