"But... the underground water veins of that forest have been cut off artificially!" Expert Hao spoke in a solemn tone, enunciating each word, like a bomb exploding on a watchtower.
"What?!" Mou Xuan and Shen Yao exclaimed in unison, their faces suddenly changing.
The location of the new base took water issues into consideration. There is a clear stream nearby, which is the main source of water supply for the base.
Now that the water veins have been artificially cut off, it is undoubtedly strangling the lifeblood of the new base!
"How could this happen? How could the water source be cut off?" Chen Yao frowned, unable to believe it.
"Preliminary judgment is that someone built a dam upstream to store water." Expert Hao pointed to a red location on the map, "It's here, about five kilometers away from our base."
Mou Xuan frowned, his mind racing.
It is no accident that water sources are cut off artificially!
Who is it?
What is the purpose?
All kinds of questions swirled in his mind.
"Let's go! Let's take a look!" Mou Xuan made a prompt decision.
Five kilometers is neither far nor near.
Mou Xuan brought the explorer with him, and the group, fully armed, headed quickly towards the location marked in red on the map.
Along the way, the stream that was originally flowing happily has dried up, and the dry riverbed is like an ugly scar, shocking to the sight.
After arriving at the destination, the scene before him made Mou Xuan furious.
As expected, a simple earth dam was built upstream, blocking the stream and forming a small reservoir.
Several burly men were standing there with weapons in hand, looking very arrogant.
The leader was none other than the landowner who had previously had a feud with the alliance. His fat, big-eared face was filled with smugness.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Mou? What brings you here?" The landowner Ren said in a sarcastic tone, his voice full of provocation.
"Ren land owner, what do you mean? Why do you want to cut off the water source?" Mou Xuan suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice.
"What do you mean? Of course we're talking business!" The landowner grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. "This water is mine now. If you want to use it, you have to pay for it!"
"You are taking advantage of the situation!" Explorer Le shouted angrily.
"Haha, don't say such harsh words. This is called a market economy, do you understand?" Ren, the landowner, said with a smug look on his face. "In this world today, water is more expensive than gold. If you want to survive, you have to listen to me!"
"What do you want?" Mou Xuan suppressed his anger.
"My request is very simple," Ren, the landowner, held up three fat fingers, "First, give me half of the materials you collected; second, give me the land near the water source for the new base; third..." He paused, his eyes greedily swept over Chen Yao, "Give me this beautiful girl next to you, how about it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Explorer Le became furious and was about to rush up to teach this shameless guy a lesson.
"Explorer Le, step back!" Mou Xuan stopped him, took a deep breath, and tried to keep himself calm.
He knew that he had to stay rational at this moment in order to find a solution to the problem.
"Ren land owner, don't go too far!" Mou Xuan's tone was cold and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"Too much? Haha..." The landowner laughed wantonly, "I have the water in my hand, so I am king! If you are smart, just agree to my conditions, otherwise..."
"What else?" A cold light flashed in Mou Xuan's eyes.
"Otherwise, you will just wait to die of thirst!" The land owner shouted arrogantly and waved his hand. The strong men behind him immediately raised their weapons and surrounded Mou Xuan and others.
A fierce battle is about to break out!
Mou Xuan scanned the surrounding terrain and quickly formulated a battle plan in his mind.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.
"Want to take action? Come on!"
"Bang!" The sound of a gunshot broke the tranquility in the mountains.
"Old Ren, are you crazy?! How dare you shoot?!" Le Explorer shouted in horror.
The sound of gunfire was like a fuse, instantly igniting the flames of battle.
Mou Xuan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He threw the Le Explorer to the ground and dodged the flying bullet.
"Looking for death!" Mou Xuan growled, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and shot the land owner at his feet.
"Bang!"
Dust flew everywhere, and the owner of the land shuddered with fear. His fat body kept moving backwards, and he almost fell flat on his face.
"You...you dare to shoot me? Do you know who I am?" He shouted in a cowardly manner.
"I don't care who you are!" Mou Xuan sneered, "Today, you must pay the price for your actions!"
The battle was about to break out, and the sounds of gunfire and shouting intertwined and echoed in the valley.
Mou Xuan was agile and moved like a cheetah among the enemy groups, accurately knocking down one enemy after another with the gun in his hand.
Le Explorer was not to be outdone, waving his weapon and charging bravely.
In the new base, ordinary residents heard the gunshots and immediately fell into chaos.
"It's over, it's over, a fight is about to break out!" "What should we do? Will we be affected?" "If I had known, I wouldn't have moved here!" The fear spread like a plague.
Seeing this, Chen Yao was extremely anxious. "Don't panic!" She shouted, "Mou Xuan will definitely protect us! Believe in him!"
Chen Yao's tone was firm and powerful, with a convincing force.
She swept her eyes across the panicked faces, "Mou Xuan is not a reckless person, he must have a way to solve this problem!"
