After glancing at the expressions on the faces of Bai Donggu and Xu Xiafeng, Qiu Qianjun had already guessed what happened without asking.
He pulled a stool from the door and stuffed it under his buttocks. With a sigh, the face of this man who usually gave off gentleness and courage showed signs of exhaustion.
After a moment of silence, he finally asked.
"Who's the other one?"
"Yu Libo."
Bai Donggu struggled to prop himself up so that he could lean more comfortably.
"He entered the Siming Mountain shelter with Lu Yu. After Xiao Ran joined the military, he also joined by the way."
"Hmph, it's just a bonus!"
Xu Xiafeng, who was lying on the bed, stared at the ceiling and said angrily.
Xu Xiaoxiao buried his head lower, unable to see his face clearly, and the cutting movement in his hand became three points faster.
"Do you know where to go?"
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao who remained silent, Qiu Qianjun asked again.
This time no one answered him. Xu Xiafeng just panted violently, while Bai Donggu leaned on the cushion and shook his head.
"Xiao Xiao?" Qiu Qianjun repeated the question.
But the girl only cut the elm wood in her hand, and only half of the fist-sized piece of wood was left. The sawdust piled up under the girl's body, forming a small pile.
"Stop asking, this damn girl won't tell you, she's just like me, a stubborn person!"
Xu Xiafeng spoke, and although his tone was not kind, his words were still protective.
"Alas..." Qiu Qianjun sighed again, and just when he was about to persuade him again, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly raised his head and said in a stubborn and aggrieved tone.
"Boss Lu, he just wants to find Xiao Ran! He has not had any impact on the Siming Mountain Refuge. Uncle, why do you still want to pursue it?!"
"Xiao Xiao..."
Bai Donggu spoke, but seeing the expression on the girl's face, he swallowed the following words back.
"Forget it, everyone is gone. Since Xiao Xiao refuses to say anything, then don't force her."
Qiu Qianjun tried to smooth things over and seemed to have given up questioning Lu Yu's whereabouts.
"Actually, it's my fault too. If I hadn't told him about Xiao Ran being taken away, maybe Lu Yu wouldn't have left so quickly..."
Bai Donggu sighed and directed the topic elsewhere.
"The aspirin matter...has Captain Qiu made any arrangements?"
"Xu Kai has been asked to inform. Dugu Po should also have received the news." Qiu Qianjun replied, the expression on his face returned to its previous look.
"Humph, in my opinion, there is still no need to tell Dugu Po. When that guy finds out, he might cause some trouble..."
Xu Xiafeng interrupted, his disdain for Dugu Po undisguised in his words.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Now the Siming Mountain Refuge is running low on combat power. We need more strengtheners to join us. Although the zombies have retreated, the whereabouts of the general-level zombies are unknown. We have to guard against them."
Hearing what Qiu Qianjun said, Xu Xiafeng just snorted and said nothing.
Bai Donggu on the side seemed to be afraid that Qiu Qianjun would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.
"Xia Feng is just worried. Dugupo is very ambitious. If his subordinates are strong enough to fight against the enemy with us, it will be fine. But if they turn against the enemy at the last moment, I'm afraid that not only our lives will be in danger, but also the lives of four others." The Mingshan Refuge will also be destroyed."
"Well... I will find a way to contain him..." Qiu Qianjun's face showed contemplation, "But no matter what, we should first show the intention of sharing the same hatred. I think Dugu Po is not a fool, and he should not take the entire asylum Your safety is used as a bargaining chip for the superior..."
While the three of them were talking, there was suddenly another rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door.
"Captain Qiu... Is Captain Qiu inside?"
Qiu Qianjun was stunned for a moment, then opened the door and let the person in.
The person who came was named Sheng Zehua. He was neither an enhancer nor an ability user, but just a very ordinary soldier.
Now the number of people in the shelter was severely damaged, and there was no time to replenish fresh blood. In order to ensure the strength, ordinary soldiers were moved from the front to the relatively safe rear by Qiu Qianjun.
Among them, Sheng Zehua was one of the transferred personnel. After retreating from the front, he was responsible for the water supply in the shelter.
Seeing Sheng Zehua panting, Qiu Qianjun looked calm.
"Drink some water first, breathe calmly and then speak slowly."
The reason why there is no urging is because Qiu Qianjun understands that instead of leaving the other party breathless and unable to explain the content, it is better to take some time to calm down first.
Doing so will not only calm people's minds, but also make reporting more efficient.
Sure enough, after calming down for a few seconds, Sheng Zehua also cleared his mind and spoke.
"It's a reservoir. During my routine inspection this evening, I found that there were inexplicably many floating corpses in it!"
"Floating corpse?" Qiu Qianjun was stunned upon hearing this, obviously not expecting it.
"Yes, most of them are secondary infected bodies, and a small number of them are mutated zombies with missing limbs..."
"But aren't there barbed wire guardrails around the reservoir, and there's nothing to attract zombies in the reservoir. How could they..."
Qiu Qianjun asked back, but his expression slowly became serious.
He had roughly guessed the reason.
"I don't know. When I went on inspection in the evening, I found that the barbed wire fence surrounding the reservoir had several holes. From time to time, secondary infections came in from the outside...and they didn't wander around after entering, they just headed straight towards the reservoir. Rush away..."
"Okay, I understand. Let's tell the canteen first not to use the raw water from the reservoir for the time being, and organize people to repair the broken hole first!" Qiu Qianjun ordered calmly.
"I've asked the workers to repair the hole, but over there in the canteen..." At this point, Sheng Zehua's face became even more worried, "I'm afraid contaminated raw water has been used over there in the canteen..."
Because the reservoir is at the back of the shelter, it is in a hidden location, so there are no zombies hanging around there on weekdays.
Occasionally, there are one or two secondary infected bodies that get lost, and they will leave immediately after hitting the barbed wire.
After all, there is nothing inside to attract them.
Therefore, the inspection intensity of the entire reservoir is much weaker than that of other places. Under normal circumstances, inspections are conducted once a day, which is in the evening.
This is the reason why Sheng Zehua said that the canteen had used contaminated raw water.
Because when we discovered it, one day and one night had passed since the last inspection. During this time period, which one in the canteen does not need water for cooking?
"It really doesn't stop at all!" Qiu Qianjun's face was gloomy, thinking about countermeasures.
Bai Donggu, who was listening on the side, also frowned and added worriedly.
"There isn't that much aspirin in the shelter right now. Should we give it to the survivors first?"
