Chapter 88: Grabbing Water
Ye Li heard the refugee leader speaking and discussing water resources with a few decision-makers.
"Now only the Holy City has water. Where else can we find water?"
"Yes, the three cities in the Holy City cover such a vast area that they are already short of water. They have to go to the seashore to desalinate the seawater. There must be no water in other places either."
Someone else asked, "But there are those guards on the beach. What can we do? We are unarmed. How can we fight against their guns?"
"Why don't we go rob the water truck?"
The noisy team suddenly became quiet. Are they trying to kill themselves by robbing the holy city?
Ten seconds later, the refugee leader said, "I think this plan is feasible. Each water truck has only one guard, minus the driver. With five trucks in total, that means five drivers and five guards. With so many of us, we can definitely control the enemy!"
"But in the past, anyone who dared to attack the Holy City never met a good end. If we do this, aren't we courting death?"
"We're almost dead now, dying of thirst. We're all worthless anyway, so we might as well risk it all!"
"Yes, let's go all out!" the refugees responded.
The matter was discussed and decided, and everyone planned to intercept the Holy City's waterwheel on the way and steal it away.
After the matter was discussed, the forest became quiet and everyone huddled together, preparing to go to sleep.
Ye Li always felt that someone was watching him, but because there were so many people present, those people didn't dare to come forward and cause trouble. Although he knew that he would not be in danger, Ye Li had a sleepless night and got up to work the next day with two panda eyes.
The leader of the refugees led everyone to guard the road leading to the seaside from the holy city. They had prepared stones to block the road in advance and were waiting to intercept the water trucks passing by.
Maybe they arrived too late and kept waiting, but they didn't see the water truck from the holy city driving to the seaside. It is estimated that it had passed before they arrived, but it didn't have much impact, because they robbed the water truck carrying water.
The refugee leader was speaking to everyone: "If you can avoid looting the water trucks, don't do it. Once we have the situation under control, everyone should fill up their bottles and cans and leave immediately."
"Why don't you grab a water truck? The water in a large water truck is enough for us to survive for a long time."
The leader said, "If we want water, the people in the Holy City might not bother to bother with us. But if we drive the whole car away, I'm afraid it will anger the people in the Holy City. If they send troops to track us down, we will be in trouble. So it's best for us to just take the water and leave."
Ye Li patted the two large water bottles tied around his waist, feeling lucky that he didn't throw them away, otherwise he would not be able to get water.
"Here I come, here I come."
"Stop arguing, get ready! Follow my gestures and start!" The leader quickly raised his hand.
Five water trucks were lined up and drove down the road. When the first water truck approached, the leader quickly put down his hands and shouted loudly: "Everyone charge!"
Rocks rolled down the hillsides on both sides of the road, blocking the road.
Seeing this, the water truck quickly braked and stopped the car. Unexpectedly, as soon as the car stopped, a large group of people rushed out from both sides of the road, smashed their windows with hammers, and threatened them to get out of the car with knives.
The guard in the passenger seat was equipped with a gun that was too big to be used in the narrow compartment. He was restrained before he could even fire.
Not surprisingly, all the water trucks were tied up!
The refugees rushed forward, turned on the tap of the water truck, and clean fresh water spurted out. Everyone hurried forward, scooped the water in their hands or filled it with bottles, and drank it down with big gulps.
"Don't push, come one by one," the leader shouted.
