Chapter 1334: Solved

Eldest Qin’s eyes flickered as he said with an involuntary smile, “You didn’t find out just now, right.”

“I…” Liang Qingqing was tongue-tied before nodding a second later. “That’s right, I only found out just now!”

She really wanted to cry. Everyone else was a smart person, while only she was a dummy.

Everyone could not help but laugh as they eyed her again.

“Junior Sister Liang, we were saying that the reason Jiaozhong Base’s water sources got contaminated was that someone had stealthily released corpse poison from up above, allowing it to blend in with the rainwater,” Situ Yi explained.

“So that is the case!!” Liang Qingqing was finally enlightened and turned to ask Mo Lian, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, will the other fortifications also suffer from this kind of transgression?”

“If there is a ‘one,’ there is bound to be a ‘two.'” Mo Lian spoke coldly, “The most important task on hand now is to issue an order to all fortifications to add covers to their water sources for protection.”

To do this, a large amount of spending would be required. Additionally, some poorer fortifications may not have large-scale defensive mystic weapons and the like.

“Right, right, right!” Liang Qingqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Particularly those pools of water inside the city. Since those are the easiest to manage, we would first bring them under our control. From the looks of it, just having people stand guard there at the water sources was kind of useless. We need to add protective barriers to them!”

“I can provide some defensive talisman matrices, which last longer than protective barriers. For the moment, they can approximately hold out for half a month,” Qiao Mu commented with a nod.

“Little Junior Sister, thank you for your hard work.” Liang Qingqing nodded gratefully on behalf of all the common people in the entire Mo Kingdom.

Liang Qingqing simply could not imagine what kind of hell this world would turn into if they were to completely lose all of their clean water sources.

“That absolutely won’t happen,” Qiao Mu said resolutely.

She had already experimented with cleaning up the filth in the water. However, a lot of people had died from thirst after losing the water sources, and this kind of death drove people to despair.

“Protect the water sources!” Everyone clenched their fists and hollered with high morale.

“Protect the water sources!”

Eldest Qin gazed at everyone with a chuckle. “Alright, we’ve pretty much finished resting now. Have you guys detected quite a few zombies hurrying over after the two huge explosions happened? Although there are not as many as before, they still number in the several hundreds to a thousand.”

“Then let’s fight!” Everyone was in high spirits.

“Let’s go up first.”

At this, everyone nodded. Just as they walked up from the underground storehouse, they ran into the dozen-member team from Rice City.

Those people’s expressions all changed when they saw Qiao Mu and her party. They quickly ran over and looked over at the underground storehouse.

Afterwards, one of the burlier members of their team started cursing, “Sh*t! They didn’t leave behind a single grain of rice for us!”

“That is such a rotten thing to do! Only a dozen have survived out of our 200 team members! How are we supposed to turn in our mission if we aren’t able to nab even a single grain of rice!”

This mission of clearing up zombies plus gathering supplies in Jiaozhong Base had actually killed off 90 percent of their team. How could they stomach leaving without gaining anything at all?

Eldest Qin’s eyes flickered as he taunted, “Who can you blame for having such short arms.”

“You people!!” Just as Kali was about to take a step forward, she was pulled back by Rice City’s operation squad leader.

That leader, who was in his thirties, wore a full suit of green armor.
