The car slowly moved towards the military base left behind by the Blue Star people.
Everyone wore a look of confusion on their faces.
Since the Blue Star people withdrew, apart from sending a small number of experts to explore the Blue Star people's fleet, the rest of them knew nothing about this place.
They didn't know what was inside, but they felt that there were many mysterious things hidden there.
Like a Pandora's box, it remains here, a source of deep anxiety for people.
If you don't touch it, everyone can choose to forget it.
But now, whenever this matter is mentioned, everyone's curiosity is piqued.
No one knows what might appear in this place. It could be a fatal blow to humanity, or it could hide an even greater treasure. No one can say for sure.
Lu Yuan leaned against the car window, looking into the distance. The barren land seemed endless, even more desolate than the places he had been before.
Once upon a time, the Blue Star people built a long highway here with the help of Earthlings and half-Blue Star people. Now it has long been swallowed up by the desert, and it is impossible to find where that highway was built.
If it weren't for the GPS, they wouldn't have been able to find this place at all.
The convoy continued forward, kicking up a cloud of dust as the dozen or so vehicles sped along the road.
Since they were still quite far from the Earthlings' base, they weren't in a hurry as they traveled.
Lu Yuan had no idea what the military's supplies were like, and this was his first time traveling with military personnel.
However, when they saw these military personnel unload huge, pipe-like objects from a vehicle and then begin drilling into a location they were scanning on the ground.
Not long after, a large pit was drilled in the ground, and then they sent the pipe down. With the huge pressure of the water pump, they were able to use clean water, which shocked Lu Yuan.
They forbid people inside the city from freely using or excavating groundwater, but they themselves can dig freely. It's like the saying, "Only the magistrate is allowed to set fires, while the common people are forbidden to light lamps."
Seeing this, Captain Liu glanced at Lu Yuan and smiled slightly: "Don't you feel that what we're doing is immoral?"
Lu Yuan could only shrug slightly to indicate that he completely agreed with the other party's statement.
"Yes, what we are doing is indeed very immoral, but there is no other way. We must have water sources, and only by controlling them can we control the rule of mankind."
If you were to become the leader of the base, you would understand his good intentions. To effectively manage so many people, you must hold their lives in your hands; only then will they loyally follow you. And water is what they depend on for survival!
Lu Yuan sighed: "Okay, what you said makes a lot of sense, but I still find it hard to accept doing it. If I were the manager, I probably really wouldn't be able to do it."
You may not see how many people die down there every day, but I came from Xiaocheng, and I only know how many people outside die every day due to lack of oxygen and water!
These numbers are terrifying, and you've only seen most of the picture. Perhaps they'll only realize this when the quantitative change leads to a qualitative shift. Okay, this has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to discuss it anymore!
Lu Yuan sighed and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He really didn't want to talk about this issue with the other person; it was very heavy and would affect one's mood.
Lu Yuan now only wants to know what secrets are hidden in the Blue Star people's base. Ever since the Blue Star people withdrew from Earth, he felt that these Blue Star people would definitely not easily hand over this Earth to the Earthlings.
These colonists would certainly leave something behind to continue their rule over the earth.
The giant trees and insect skins that Lu Yuan had previously discovered are the best evidence.
These things are definitely a new type of weapon they left behind to rule the earth. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I have this feeling that keeps popping into my head.
"Forget it, whatever happens, happens. In any case, disasters won't stop. God just doesn't want us humans to have a proper rest!"
Lu Yuan looked up at the scorching sun, cursed inwardly, and then followed the others to fetch water.
As for what exactly was dirty in the water, after Lu Yuan inquired around, he learned that there was indeed nothing dirty in the water.
Some of them are just spores and bacteria left by giant trees. These things can also appear in normal water sources, but so far no one has figured out what they are and they cannot be removed.
There's nothing we can do about it; people can die from holding their pee. Anyway, nothing unexpected has happened yet. That's how water is all over the world; you'll get thirsty eventually even if you don't drink it.
After gulping down a mouthful, the sweet and cool water instantly revived Lu Yuan.
He turned his head to look at the hazy sandstorm in the distance, and his heart pounded.
How much longer until we reach the Earthlings' base?
Captain Liu, who was sitting in the shade of the car, said softly, "There are probably still about five or six hours left. What? Are you in a hurry?"
"No, I'm just worried about what might happen on the road. We were going too fast before and missed a lot of things. Should we slow down a bit?"
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, several people next to him raised objections.
"Why slow down? Are we just waiting for the monsters to surround us? No way, I won't allow it!"
"Exactly! Everyone knows that what's lacking in this desolate wilderness is support. We didn't bring many supplies to begin with! If we stop just like that, who will resupply us?"
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. People who come from private lands are so different; they don't understand the real situation at all!"
Hearing them say that, Lu Yuan could only sigh and remain silent.
These soldiers didn't seem to understand his thoughts at all. Lu Yuan was really worried that if they couldn't keep up with this speed, they would definitely miss a lot of details and secrets along the way.
Lu Yuan wanted to see if there was any information about the insect monster in the nearby sand dunes.
However, it seems that everyone disagrees with him now, and it's more like he should go as soon as possible, complete the task, and go home.
After resting for about half an hour, everyone refilled the water tank in the car, as well as the portable water storage containers and their personal water bottles, and then continued driving forward.
