1306: Deliberately Mystifying

Deliberately Mystifying

Mo Lian had ordered every fortification to construct their own reservoirs to cope with any unexpected events.1

He had also sent people tasked to guard the water sources, but unfortunately, the results were not good as people had still tampered with them.

The reservoir was not too large, but it was adequate as an everyday water reserve.

"There are a total of three such reservoirs in the city?" Qiao Mu tilted her head to ask that disciple who had discovered the reservoir.

"Mhm-hm." That disciple nodded repeatedly. He pinched his nose as he walked to one end. "It's so d*mn stinky. Look at the water within. It's basically a combination of sludge and filth."

Qiao Mu nodded. "If they poisoned the water sources simultaneously, they must have sent several batches of people to carry out this operation."

"That's right, the four water sources are rather far away from one another. Especially the water source in the mountain behind the City Lord's Estate. As it is moving water, contaminating the entire water vein is not an easy task."

"Where does that water vein lead to?" Qiao Mu's expression changed. "Is it the nearby Rice City?"

The people in the Rice City rescue team all paled as they clamored noisily, "What? This foul water is flowing toward our Rice City? What should we do then, the people in Rice City are still completely in the dark right now."

"Then what are you still gawking there for. You're not going to hurry back to Rice City to report the situation?" Qiao Mu swept them a cold glance. Her first impression of these nutcases from Rice City was already very poor.

Rescue should be done while taking the scope of one's abilities into account. The first thing to keep in mind was your own teammates' lives.

Otherwise, was there any meaning to giving up your life when you were on a rescue mission? No one had gotten rescued, and now another batch of people had been sent in to die.

Also, was there a need to accommodate those people that acted like lords and were unwilling to cooperate with the rescue?

Go die if you want and scram wherever it suits you.

In the first place, the rescuers had only come due to a sense of morality and justice, so it was best to be prudent.

The female mystic cultivator called Kali protested with a darkened face, "There are still many zombies nearby. Our team only has around a dozen remaining people. We don't have enough manpower to break out of the encirclement."

"That is a problem your leader has to consider." Qiao Mu was apathetic. "Let's go check out the other water sources."

Every single person in the Rice City rescue team had an unsightly expression.

After Qiao Mu and her group started moving, they also trailed along.

Because they really didn't know what they could do right now!

If they didn't tag along with another team, should they get besieged by zombies again, then the remnants of their routed team wasn't even enough to serve as the zombies' snack.

When everyone arrived at the next dried-up and smelly reservoir, a mystic cultivator in the back suddenly shouted, "Aren't you that? Hey, don't run!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu turned around and saw a shadow whisk past the wall rubble like a phantom and jump abruptly into a rundown residence.

"Just trying to be mystifying." Qiao Mu dashed after it, and Situ Yi, Liang Qingqing, and the others also followed along.

"Wait." Kali gestured for her teammates to halt. She looked up and said, "There might be danger. We won't go over and will just wait here."

After Qiao Mu and her team jumped into the rundown residence, they chased after it in hot pursuit.

There was a large hole in the rear court of the residence, and that person darted inside like a rat.

Qiao Mu waved her hand, and the rest of the dirt wall crumbled down to the ground.

Qiao Mu then squinted her eyes and commented lightly, "This invisibility talisman of yours is no good."

As she spoke, she flung several silver needles over.

With nothing to serve as an obstacle now, a groan came from the corner of the wall.
