Chapter 542: Evil Waters
"You crow's mouth!" Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at Gu Siyi, "You know it's unlucky, and you still say that!"
"I mean, if a person doesn't get the compensation he deserves or is rewarded for his courage, the consequences will be serious!"
"You are an enthusiastic citizen who has done something for justice. Wouldn't it be detrimental to your image to ask for rewards?" Jiang Feng smiled and patted his best friend on the shoulder, "Xiao Gu, you should just act like someone who does good deeds without expecting anything in return!"
"Damn it, you tricked me again! If I had known this, I wouldn't have come!"
Despite her complaints, Gu Siyi had no intention of leaving the team.
Compared with material rewards, what she values more is gaining experience points with the SWAT team and leveling up quickly!
No amount of money can buy you such a good opportunity.
It took a full two hours to walk over ten miles of waterway.
Just before 12 o'clock, the SWAT team finally sent six breeders and more than 400 large fat pigs to a breeding base far away from the flooded area.
We had lunch at the pig farm and had a stew with an amazing amount of meat.
After a short rest, the SWAT team returned to Mihe Town to continue their mission of eliminating water monsters and searching and rescuing residents.
Before leaving, a breeder from the pig farm went to Gao Fei and showed him the help message he saw in WeChat Moments. He said that several people were trapped by the flood on the second floor of the town's Cultural Palace and were waiting for him. rescue.
Gao Fei discussed it with Ma Tao and decided to go to the Cultural Palace to see if anyone was really trapped, and then rescue them along the way.
Before setting off, Ma Tao had to report Team 05's afternoon action plan in accordance with regulations.
An ace team like them has a lot of freedom in the process of duty. They can go wherever they like. Unless there is an urgent and major task, the company commander will not interfere with their actions.
This time, Pojun Thirteen also did not reject Ma Tao's application, but only reminded them to be more careful in their reply.
"Since last night, some people have been posting distress messages on social media, saying they were trapped in the Mihe Town Cultural Palace."
"As far as I know, the town's rescue team sent people to rescue him twice."
"As a result, the person was not rescued, and there was no news from the rescue team. He just disappeared mysteriously."
"The person who claimed to be trapped on the second floor of the Palace of Culture still posted distress messages on social media. It seemed that he had not met the rescuers at all."
"What's even more bizarre is that this morning, the account that posted the distress message suddenly updated a message, claiming that a group of extremely evil monsters are lurking near the Palace of Culture, using the trapped people as bait, luring the rescue team into the trap, and killing them brutally. So don’t send anyone to die again!”
"Not long after, the message was deleted by the publisher."
"Someone asked for the inside story, and the person who posted the news replied that he was trapped for a day and a night and was under so much pressure that he almost had a nervous breakdown. The previous message was just nonsense and should be ignored."
"Company Commander, is there something else going on here?" Gao Fei became interested.
"In fact, I just used the magic satellite to reconnoiter the Mihe Town Cultural Palace. Judging from various signs... I'm afraid there is a real problem. You must be more careful during this trip."
The company commander warned.
After ending the call, Ma Tao seemed a little uneasy.
"Brother Fei, why don't you do some divination first?"
Gao Fei nodded, took out the dice, and divined the current situation of the person who issued the distress message.
The dice lands with the red 1 point facing upwards.
The hexagram is very bad, and your life is in danger!
This was the worst result Gao Fei had come up with since he arrived at the disaster area, and his expression changed slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he continued to use "divination" to predict the prospects of Team 05's rescue operation.
The result was 3 points, which was unpredictable!
…
Half an hour later, Gao Fei and his party drove four motorboats and followed the map provided by the astrolabe to the block where the Cultural Palace of Mihe Town was located.
There were still more than two hundred meters away from the entrance of the Cultural Palace, and everyone was forced to stop.
“If I hadn’t known in advance that the building opposite was the Palace of Culture, I would have thought it was the sewage discharge area of a chemical plant.”
Qitian said, holding his nose.
The bull fish that was originally exploring the way ahead had turned around and fled back, unwilling to get close to the turbid water that emitted a pungent stench near the Cultural Palace.
The Cultural Palace is located in a depression in the middle of Mihe Town. The rainwater has collected and the waterlogging situation is indeed serious. The water has overflowed the two-meter-high steps and continuously poured into the gate on the first floor.
However, no matter how heavy the rain is and how serious the waterlogging is, the accumulated water should not show such serious decay in just a few days. It is simply dirtier than a sewer that has not been cleaned in ten years.
Gao Fei was also dizzy from the stench emanating from the sewage. He pulled off the breathing mask that came with his helmet and felt better.
At the entrance of the Cultural Palace, two pine trees with half of them above the water were twisted and gnarled, with cracks like sores.
With the help of a telescope, Gao Fei discovered that the rosin seeping out of the cracks in the tree trunk had a strange black and red color, flowing downward along the cracks, and also emitting a foul smell, as if pus was flowing from a rotten wound.
These abnormal signs are all sending silent warnings.
At the same time, it also aroused everyone's curiosity to guess what factors polluted this water area. Even the trees were affected and became weird and ugly.
If this filthy environment is harmful to plants, then might the animals and even humans living in the same neighborhood have also been poisoned?
While Gao Fei was thinking silently, Huang Hansheng broke the silence.
"Brother Fei! We may have run into a ruthless character this time!"
"Hansheng, what do you think?" Gao Fei asked.
"If unfortunately my guess is correct, Mihe Town Cultural Palace... is probably occupied by demons."
Huang Hansheng lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing the devil lurking in the dark.
"Devil? Haha!" Hao Le couldn't help laughing, "Old Huang, although we have seen many monsters these days, most of them are local mutants, and a very few invasive alien species, including flying sharks and water giants. A visitor from the water elemental plane like a demon, and now you suddenly tell me that there is a demon here? Do you think this guess is reasonable?"
"Old Huang's guess is a bit unreliable." Qitian acknowledged his apprentice's doubts, "Devils are born in the bottomless abyss of the lower plane, and the root cause of this rain disaster lies in the plane between the Blue Star and the Water Elemental Realm. There is a pipe leak in the barrier. I would not be surprised if the water elemental prince broke in, but you are talking about a demon from the abyss? This is totally inappropriate!"
"So your thinking is still too rigid." Ma Tao stood on Huang Hansheng's side, "Even if the demons can't enter the Blue Star directly from the abyss, can't they try to enter the water elemental world first and use the water elemental world as a springboard? Take advantage of the rain disaster to sneak into our world?"
