stand back, let me come

Chapter 1434: Living depends on having a strong horoscope [asking for a monthly ticket]

It was not discovered to be nuclear wastewater at first.

Chu Jie and Su Shiyilu's troops did not find any problems.

Kang Shi felt something was wrong: [There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary. ]

Su Shiyilu said: [Abnormal? What's abnormal? If I were them, I would lose this battle like this. Even with so many people in, morale wouldn't be boosted. How can we fight this battle without morale? Wouldn't we just run away at the sight of the enemy?]

It is also normal to destroy the target before withdrawing troops.

They can't defend this thing and don't want to let the enemy get it.

[No, I still feel like something is wrong. ]

Kang Shi repeatedly shook his head and paced back and forth in the temporary tent, which made Su Shiyilu feel annoyed. Chu Jie's five sense sequelae from the last battle had not completely dissipated. He could close his eyes and not be annoyed, but he couldn't: [What's wrong? ]

You should at least explain it clearly, right?

Kang Shi turned around suddenly and said confidently: [Based on my luck, the possibility that the enemy will put up a stubborn resistance and trip us up is far greater than that of passively slacking off in the fight. General, do you agree?]

But this time it’s different.

The central allied forces obviously had no high fighting spirit. They fought and fled at the same time. Their performance along the way could be described as throwing away their weapons and armor, which made it easy for the allied forces to take control of the river. Although the enemy angrily blew up the waterway before leaving, this degree of damage did not affect the water use of Kangguo. There was no need to worry about infrastructure. Kangguo’s troops could repair it in a few days.

Su Shiyilu: [……]

Wow, this argument is really convincing.

Chu Jie, who had been pretending to meditate and rest, suddenly opened his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: [Could it be that something was done to the water? ]

This answer was also ruled out by a group of military doctors who were sent out. There was no poison or poisonous insects in the river water. If we really want to find problems, it is that the water quality of several batches of samples is more turbid and astringent.

Chu Jie raised his eyes and gazed at several batches of river water samples.

The river water sampled at the beginning of the explosion was dark gray in color, and had no odor. After settling, it was still a little turbid. After that, a batch was taken every two hours. The military doctor Xinglin presided over the inspection and also tried it with prisoners. The river water was not poisoned.

Not to mention the poison, there weren't even many corpses.

This is quite rare. During a war, throwing corpses into a river pollutes the water source and harms enemy soldiers downstream, which is the basic of basic things.

[It seems that the military advisor's intuition is wrong.] Except for Kang Shi, Su Shiyilu has never seen any military advisor general who likes to use his own luck as a reference. Normally, he shouldn't use all kinds of conspiracies and schemes? After laughing for a while, Su Shiyilu remembered that Kang Shi was not a broad-minded person, so he added awkwardly, [However, the Central Allied Forces are indeed cunning and have to be guarded against.]

Maybe the rout was just an illusion, and their real purpose was to lower their vigilance and strike back at the critical moment.

The army still needs to take strict precautions in the next two days.

Unexpectedly, something happened that night.

[Report, Marshal, a large number of fish carcasses appeared on the river surface.]

After receiving the news, Chu Jie and others hurried to the river.

The moon was full that day, and the bright and cold moonlight sprinkled on the river, creating dots of white light like fish scales. Looking closely, it was actually a pile of dead fish with their stomachs turned upside down. Because there was a net blocking the downstream not far away, these dead fish were crowded here, and there was almost no gap. Su Shiyilu spoke frankly: [Didn't the doctor Xinglin check and say that the river water was not poisoned? ]

Besides, this is running water, not stagnant water.

Even if it's highly poisonous, it can't possibly kill so many fish, right?

How much investment is needed to achieve this effect?

[Investigate thoroughly, there may be spies hiding in the army!] Su Shiyilu reacted immediately and issued an order, [This dead fish did not float down from above. The enemy has been fleeing for such a long time. If they were really poisoned, the poison would have taken effect long ago... Most likely it happened recently.]

There is a high probability that the poisoning was carried out by someone hiding in the military.

Su Shiyilu's speculation was also denied.

Doctor Xinglin repeatedly confirmed that there was no poison in the water, and the captives who were testing the medicine did not show any symptoms of poisoning. The medical team made another more likely guess: [These dead fish may have died from the previous explosion, not necessarily from poisoning...]

We have checked both upstream and downstream.

Su Shiyilu stood with his hands on his hips, puzzled: [It's not this, it's not that, is it really not the enemy's doing? ]

Let the soldiers in the army not touch the river water for the time being, and use the water stored previously.

The next day, it was still dark.

Bad news came from the wounded camp.

The wounded soldiers in the army had different degrees of high fever and vomiting symptoms. The problem was that they did not drink river water, and they did not use river water to wash the food they ate. The military doctor carefully checked the food that the high-fever soldiers ate, and there was nothing wrong with it. It was neither poison nor Gu, which was really confusing: [In addition to this group of wounded soldiers, a large number of prisoners also had inexplicable high fever patients. ]

Most of them are ordinary people, while those soldiers with strong physical fitness and who have cultivated some martial arts have relatively mild symptoms.

[Marshal, we have intercepted some strange objects downstream.]

Some strange and heavy fragments.

By piecing together the shapes of the fragments, a barrel-like structure can be vaguely seen.

Chu Jie asked the medical team: [Can strange diseases be cured? ]

The medical team nodded and gave affirmation: [It is not difficult to treat. ]

In fact, the symptoms of most patients can be suppressed by infusing the purified Qi of heaven and earth. The milder the symptoms, the better the effect. Although the military doctors were quick, several soldiers who were already seriously injured could not be saved. Examination revealed that their internal organs were swollen and ulcerated to varying degrees, especially the throat, which was severely swollen. They were suffocated to death...

Chu Jie did not hesitate and ordered to stay away from the water source.

Strangely enough, the symptoms subsided after I left.

Chu Jie sent someone to send the news and some of the intercepted fragments back to the central army camp, seriously informing them that the water source might be contaminated by unknown things and the army needed to be more cautious in using water. Not long after, Kang Shi discovered another detail that was extremely easy to overlook.

The air of heaven and earth near the battlefield is too turbid and turbulent.

Su Shiyilu was puzzled: [Is this abnormal? ]

Where is there a war that does not cause abnormalities in the energy of heaven and earth?

Generally, it will gradually return to normal after ten days or half a month.

Kang Shi shook his head and said, "No, it's because everyone thinks this way that it's easier to ignore this point. I think back carefully, the army has been stationed near the river bank for two days. Do you remember whether the air in the surrounding heaven and earth has shown any signs of calming down during these two days?"

Su Shiyilu thought carefully: [No.]

Kang Shidao: [So this is where the problem lies.]

The source of the disturbance of the heaven and earth's energy had actually always been there, but the war had just ended and the enemy had not discovered it immediately, allowing the real cause to take advantage of the situation. Kang Shi packed up all the river water samples and sent them back to Shen Tang, who almost went berserk after seeing them.

"Where did Kang Jishou find these things?"

Shen Tang's face was full of disgust.

Jimo Qiu was standing in front of her, wrapping these things carefully with a divine barrier to isolate them from radiation pollution. Shen Tang bypassed him and picked up a branch to push away the strange debris piled on the car. After poking away the turbidity on top, there were faintly a few imprinted patterns underneath. Gu Chi also crouched over to take a closer look: "It looks like a painting, it's crooked, what kind of evil spirit is it?" Shen Tang sneered: "It's not evil spirits, it's to attract ghosts."

Gu Chi’s brows were almost twisted into a knot, and he moved slightly away.

Afraid of being tainted with bad luck: "A ghost?"

Shen Tang didn't know what to complain about. Did the Central Branch bring out all the nuclear wastewater sealed in the Inner Branch and blow it up? The text above could also prove the origin of this thing. Shen Tang was disgusted with throwing away the branch and even brought a fire to burn it clean.

"Aren't the words used by the little ghost meant to attract ghosts?"

Jimo Qiu considerately handed over a wet handkerchief.

Shen Tang wiped his fingers carefully with a handkerchief.

He didn't forget to curse: "It's really unlucky for his ancestors."

Gu Chi: "..."

Compared with the words she cursed in her heart, the words she spoke were relatively clean.

He lifted his clothes and half-knelt like Shen Tang, asking curiously, "The Lord seems to be quite displeased with this kind of ghost word?"

"Of course I don't like it, if it weren't for..."

Shen Tang paused suspiciously here.

It is not the first one to discharge waste into the sea. There were others who did so before it, but it is unique in that it is so blatant that it has become known to the world. The last human civilization was destroyed, and this beast’s crime is unforgivable.

Shen Tang turned around and asked Jimo Qiu: "What happened next?"

"First there was a war to clear the area, then there was a volcanic eruption, and it sank into the sea." The natural disaster condensed the effects of continental plate movement that would take tens of thousands of years into just a few decades. The geographical location of that area was already dangerous, so it was normal for it to sink into the sea. "This can be regarded as an act of self-rescue by the laws of nature here." Considering the weak physical fitness of the above civilized humans, there would be few survivors.

It was too difficult for intelligent races to be born, so the heavens showed some mercy in the end, leaving a little spark behind, which evolved into the new humans of today many years later. The number of these new humans was far less than that of the past, but their ability to stir up trouble was not small.

In the natural disaster that struck the end of human civilization, this tiny piece of land was the first to be destroyed, and the ruins were also the worst-hit area with the most residual radiation in the sea. Jimo Qiu added, "If there is no breakthrough in civilization, it will be difficult to set foot in that area for thousands of years... Even the mutated and deformed sea beasts in the nearby sea dare not get too close, it is very dangerous."

It is dangerous and has no development value.

Gu Chi had no interest in these ancient news.

He only cares about one issue -

"So, this water is not drinkable?"

The soldiers with better physical fitness can drink it for a short time without fear of death, but the underground water system is connected in all directions, and these polluted waters are spread everywhere. How can ordinary people not have problems with their bodies if they drink it for a long time? Judging from the several times of terrain transformation by the Central Allied Forces, most of these polluted water sources will flow into the water system within the territory of Kangguo.

Shen Tang: “…Fuck!”

Even after years of self-cultivation, he still couldn't hold back and pointed to the sky and cursed: "Your uncle really thinks I'm a devil, right?"

I wish I could open the forum again and curse at the sky for eight hundred rounds.

Gu Chi sighed: "I'm afraid this is what the Central Branch wants."

This move will cause a large number of ordinary people in the border areas of Kangguo to suffer from serious diseases. There are not many reliable doctors in the folk, and the number of doctors who can effectively treat this disease is barely three digits, which is a drop in the bucket. Even if they are lucky enough not to die, the common people who drink problematic water for a long time are more likely to give birth to deformed children, leaving endless troubles. Gu Chi felt bad just thinking about it.

As expected, Lord Zhou's murderous intent became even stronger.

Shen Tang: "Did the Gods also treat the Wu Kingdom in the same way back then?"

Wei Lou had a blank expression on his face: "What else?"

However, the Wu Kingdom did not know much about this aspect and did not blame the problem on the water source back then. Moreover, most of the Wu Kingdom's elite soldiers were transformed with poisonous insects to stimulate their potential. They did not have much lifespan left and basically did not live to see the day when the sequelae broke out.

It was only after Wei Lou came into contact with the core members of the Society of the Gods that he realized how dirty the opponents were playing and how many inside stories they had.

The inside story also involves the so-called last human civilization.

His hatred for the previous civilization even exceeded his hatred for the Gods Council. The old man persuaded Shen Tang with an experienced tone: "This is not something that can kill you in a short time. It is at most a chronic poison. You can just put it aside and ignore it."

If it really doesn't work, just relocate the border population.

As long as we conquer the central continent, that place will lose its function as a border, and it doesn't matter whether there are living people living there or not.

Gu Chi: "...you can add fuel to the fire."

Just when he was wondering whether the Lord would slaughter all the allied troops who retreated to the stone fort in a rage, the gentle high priest suddenly said something shocking: "If it is just a small-scale purification, I should be able to handle it with my current divine power."

Shen Tang and Gu Chi turned to look at him almost at the same time.

"This is the ability that His Highness has bestowed upon me. I dare not take credit for it."

Shen Tang didn't know when he had given this ability to others. He knew without thinking that it was related to his "previous life".

She was more concerned about what Jimo Qiu said.

"Purification? To restore polluted water to normal?"

Jimo Qiu said: "If 'normal' is defined by the drinking standards of the human race, I can indeed do this."

For the world as a whole, there is no concept of pollution.

“However, this process will take several days.”

Shen Tang thought for a moment and was about to speak, but Jimo Qiu shook his head before her: "Human power is limited, and this cannot be done."

"I haven't even asked yet."

"Your Highness, aren't you asking, 'Since I can purify this water source, can I purify a larger area, such as the sea?'"

His answer was that he couldn't.

Because his current divine power is far from enough.

"Perhaps it will be possible when your Highness completes his merits."

Given His Highness's soft-heartedness, he will not leave a mess behind even when he leaves. He will definitely clean up everything before leaving with peace of mind.

Shen Tang could only retract his thoughts: "Yeah."

The pie painted by Jimo Qiu wiped away the dust from her heart.

It gave her more hope for the future.

However, her joy did not last long. The side effects of the delayed opening of the altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens came one after another, and Shen Tang was in a state of panic. She was able to survive only because of her own strong fortune.

Shen Tang: "..."

If she stopped, Kangguo would lose a top combat force. In order to prevent the allied forces in the stone fort from noticing, Kangguo mainly laid siege for the next few days. The former must have been psychologically traumatized, and he retreated several times when he challenged them. The two sides were deadlocked, and the situation entered a relatively stable confrontation period. Shen Tang also took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, and finally he was not killed by Kang Shi in a foreign land.

(ノへ￣,)

I remember someone asked what happened to the other continents in this world. Some of them were sinking or destroyed. In the current context, the population of the entire continent is less than 200 million (this population number is actually a big bug, because the background is a thousand years of chaos, and there are three to five wars a day on average. It is normal to have only tens of millions left.)
