"Oh! Did the camera capture the murderer? Was he caught?"
Ripple asked curiously.
"Nothing was captured. Only footage of the two people debugging the screen was recorded."
Yuan Chongming shook his head and said.
"These two people are really interesting. They even installed cameras at home. Could it be..."
Lianyi raised her eyebrows deliberately, and Yuan Chongming understood without saying the rest.
"No, they seem to have made an appointment with you tonight and want to find something to hold against you!"
Yuan Chongming said.
"If they want to catch me, I have to have something to hold against me! As for asking me out, I never said I would go. They are just being wishful thinking.
But I never thought how the two of them could get together, one a scientific researcher and the other a person who makes a living by selling her body."
Lian Yi said meaningfully.
"How do you know that?"
Yuan Chongming was indeed a little surprised.
"She and I just met yesterday. I didn't know. It was my Tornado who smelled it. Tornado also said that Mu Mianmian had the smell of other males, and it was mixed with a smell that he hated the most.
Now I understand what Xuanfeng meant by the most disgusting smell. It should be Mi Zilong."
Lian Yi spread his hands.
"Meow!" My dear cat, you are using my name to fool others again.
Lianyi didn't care and just ruffled the short hair on Xuanfeng's head, then looked at Yuan Chongming with a smile.
Yuan Chongming coughed lightly. He really couldn't refute it.
Because the weather is hot now, you will be covered in sweat if you go out for a walk, and water resources are so scarce that no one can really wash every day. As a result, everyone has a smell, but everyone is the same, so no one should dislike anyone else. This also explains why Tornado's nose is indeed sensitive.
"I came here to tell you this for no other reason than to hope that you would be more careful and not be caught by others. Although this is a natural disaster, order is slowly being restored, and you will still have to live among people in the future."
Yuan Chongming said in a sincere tone.
"I know. I will be careful."
Lianyi didn't think that the other party was meddling in her affairs. After all, it was for her own good. The two of them understood each other tacitly. Yuan Chongming sat for a while and then left.
The next two days were peaceful. After all, in this kind of weather, it was normal for people to die of heat or thirst every day. Therefore, the deaths of Mu Mianmian and Mi Zilong did not cause any splash, let alone an autopsy. Naturally, the matter passed without a trace.
Three days later, the vanguard team received another mission, this time they were going to find water.
Lianyi actually didn't want to run away, because the extremely hot weather had entered its last month. After that, there would be a major earthquake. The course of the underground rivers would change, and after the ground deformed, new lakes or ditches would be formed. Then the water problem would be solved, but she didn't want to say this out loud.
He just specifically reminded Yuan Chongming before leaving, and his excuse was the same as always: whirlwind.
"Xuanfeng has been very irritable in recent days. He even scratched me yesterday, but I quickly avoided him. Generally, if an animal is so irritable, something must have happened. We have a mission to leave, and we cannot take Jiayao and the Liu couple with us. You'd better remind them to leave the residence immediately if anything goes wrong."
"Meow~" My dear cat, when did I scratch you?
Xuanfeng tilted his head and looked at Lianyi, his cat eyes full of confusion. Lianyi touched his head guiltily to comfort him.
"Okay, I'll remind Uncle Liu and Aunt Xu. Before I leave, I'll prepare a small backpack for Jiayao and put some emergency items in it. I'll put it where he can reach it, so that he can evacuate immediately if something unexpected happens."
After listening to this, Yuan Chongming spoke thoughtfully, obviously taking Lianyi's reminder seriously.
"In the current environment, it's best if nothing happens. I'm just afraid of something happening. But these are just my guesses. You can refer to them."
Ripple said with a smile.
"I understand. We are friends. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to remind me."
Yuan Chongming was grateful and told Lianyi the departure time of the mission. He then returned to his residence to make preparations before leaving.
The next day, all nine members of the team gathered together again. This time they changed to a van that could accommodate everyone, and Sun Zhou was the driver.
"This time we are going to the Shenshan Mountains, where there is snow all year round. With the high temperature now, the snow should have melted and water should have flowed down. However, it has been two and a half months with high temperatures, and there is no melted snow water at all, so we were sent to check."
After Situ Yi got on the car, he introduced the content of the mission in detail.
Lianyi was thinking in her heart after hearing this. Logically, Qimu City should not be short of water. After all, it is backed by the Shenshan Mountain Range. She was worried that after the high temperature continued, the flood would submerge Qimu City in the basin again. However, such a long time had passed and there was no movement. She was also very curious.
After everyone had made clear their mission, they headed towards the Shenshan Mountains, and Tang Tianming interrupted and said:
"It seems that there are nomadic people living below the mountains here. I don't know what's happening to them."
"Didn't they retreat to a safe location?"
Zhao Jia asked directly.
"I don't know about that."
"There are indeed people living there, they are ethnic minorities, and their number is not large. We have arranged for people to come here before, but they are self-sufficient, so they did not move to a safe station. They think it is safer here."
As the deputy captain, Situ Yi is a member of the military and police force, so he knows more clearly.
"Then let's find them first and let them take us into the sacred mountain. This will be safer."
Yuan Chongming said that he never fights an unprepared battle and he is responsible for his team members.
"Okay, I dealt with them last time, and I can talk to them, so it should be no problem."
After temporarily deciding on the direction of action, everyone closed their eyes and rested in the car. It would take more than a day or two to get from the temporary base to the sacred mountain. It would take at least two days.
After two days and two nights of trekking, the group finally arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain. As they got closer to the sacred mountain, they felt the long-lost coolness.
"It's indeed a snowy mountain. I finally feel a bit of coolness."
Zhao Jia said excitedly.
"Don't be too greedy for coolness. It's best to put on an extra layer of clothing. The weather is too hot and the pores of the body are open to dissipate heat. If it suddenly gets cold at this time, the body won't be able to handle it and it's easy to catch a cold."
Ripple reminded.
"I understand. I brought long-sleeved clothes with me before coming here."
Zhao Jia said immediately, and then began to rummage through his backpack.
Half an hour later, everyone changed into long sleeves and long pants and felt just right and comfortable.
This time it was Situ Yi who led the way. After walking for a while, he stopped and looked around.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Chu Hong asked.
“Why are the people who used to live around here gone?”
"Are you sure you're in the right place?"
Sun Zhou asked carelessly.
"There is only one main road to the Shenshan Mountains. You shouldn't go wrong." (End of this chapter)
