"So, you still plan to try and kill this monster?" Liu Ziyun heard this and said in a disapproving tone, "I think you are looking for death."
"No, no, no." Tang Jiumin waved his hand, "This monster is right in front of me, and it appears so easily, which makes me feel too fake."
"Do you know what I mean? It's like you find a room with a treasure hidden in it. When you open it, you find gold, silver and jewelry inside. You happily take it away."
"But is this all the treasures are? Not necessarily. Ancient tombs are just like that. The master's real tomb can be called the Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves."
As Tang Jiumin spoke, he looked around, his expression becoming more determined, and he said, "There must be something else hidden here, and it is something that we can easily ignore."
"What catches our attention are what the trial wants us to see. They are the test questions. They test whether we are real treasure hunters or greedy lucky ones."
These words sounded a bit confusing, but fortunately Liu Ziyun reacted quickly, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
Tang Jiumin looked thoughtful.
After a few seconds, he stared at the mutated octopus and spoke slowly.
"We were all attracted by the big thing in front of us, but we never thought about where the blood and flesh on the top layer of the water came from. It is not produced and sold by the mutant octopus."
"These things are more like cultured colonies, and what we need to do is find out where they come from."
"you mean……"
Liu Ziyun and Tang Jiumin looked at each other and said in unison, "Follow the lake and go deeper into the water plant to check!"
"Very good, your thinking ability is finally in sync with mine." Tang Jiumin nodded.
"This guy is surrounded by zombies. Their attention will not be on us. If we can find the answer before it is defeated, maybe we can uncover more secrets."
"Are you sure?" Liu Ziyun pinched his chin and spoke after a moment of silence.
"OK." Tang Jiumin nodded, his tone playful and relaxed.
Hearing the unsurprising answer, Liu Ziyun couldn't help but look behind him, and then saw everyone's reluctance. He couldn't help but touch his nose and looked at Tang Jiumin beside him again.
Different from everyone else, Tang Jiumin's eyes revealed an extremely confident light.
Liu Ziyun thought about it carefully and chose to believe Tang Jiumin. He nodded: "Then you can make arrangements. We will all listen to you."
With Liu Ziyun's support, Tang Jiumin led everyone to avoid the mutated octopus and move deeper into the water plant.
Soon they entered the interior, and after checking the water plant, they discovered that there was also a storage tank at the other end of the water plant, and according to the water plant's instructions, the bottoms of the two pools were connected.
This was unexpected.
Therefore, Tang Jiumin and others immediately arrived at the newly discovered pool to observe.
Then, they saw a strange scene.
Compared with the pool at Octopus, not even a trace of blood-red fleshy clotted fat can be seen in this pool.
Completely non-existent.
Cheng Zhi couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately there is no monster in this half, otherwise the water quality will be polluted."
Zhang Tiandao and others couldn't help but agree.
Listening to everyone's sighs, Liu Ziyun looked at Tang Jiumin doubtfully, "There is nothing special here, let's continue exploring inside?"
However, Tang Jiumin stopped, squatted down, and began to observe carefully.
What is this doing?
Everyone looked at Tang Jiumin in confusion.
From time to time, the roars of zombies could be heard in the distance, as well as the loud noises caused by the battle. Under such circumstances, Tang Jiumin had the leisure to observe. There was nothing unusual about the pool?
This person is not in a hurry, but they are very anxious!
So scared!
A very magical scene suddenly appeared at the edge of the pool. A group of people stood uneasy, and their eyes occasionally turned to someone who was squatting.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
Because after a while, Tang Jiumin stood up, and the first thing he said when he looked at Liu Ziyun was: "There is a problem here, and it's a big problem!"
"Ah? Is there a problem?" Liu Ziyun was confused and asked, "What is the problem?"
Tang Jiumin raised his hand and pointed to his side.
"Look at the two ponds, this is the priority reservoir because it is closer to the reservoir, and the Octopus side is the second reservoir."
"Have you ever thought about where the blood, flesh, and fat came from? If in a normal water flow environment, the water flows to lower places, where will they flow?"
"Why are the same two pools connected to the same reservoir, but one has it and the other doesn't?"
"Because there is a mutated octopus over there, but there is no such monster here." Liu Ziyun answered without thinking.
"This statement may be possible, but since the flesh and blood were formed due to the appearance of the monster, why does it insist on staying there, waiting for the zombies to attack?" Tang Jiumin laughed.
"If it can really produce those substances, it can choose a better place. After all, it has the intelligence and ability, instead of trying to prevent others from approaching here."
"I prefer another hypothesis."
"That is, the blood and flesh coagulation is produced in the water plant. The two pools are transported by the same pipeline. Under the same conditions, this kind of thing should not happen. That only means one problem."
"There must be something wrong between the two pools."
"That's wrong." Liu Ziyun understood what Tang Jiumin said, thought about it carefully, and immediately answered, "According to what you said, the two pools are connected, so there can be no problem. Maybe it is caused by other external factors?"
Tang Jiumin shook his head firmly.
The rest of the people listened to the conversation between the two and fell silent.
At this time, Tang Jiumin put his belongings into the system backpack, then raised his head and said to Liu Ziyun, "I will go down to investigate the situation now, and then I will know what the situation is."
"Hey, Tang Jiumei, you...!"
Before Liu Ziyun could finish his words, Tang Jiumin jumped directly into the pool with a splash.
After experiencing the strengthening of his bloodline, even without the special skills to activate his bloodline, Tang Jiumin's physical fitness was still much better than before.
Coupled with some swimming experience during his lifetime, at this time, he relied on his improved physical fitness to dive downwards.
The depth of the reservoir was not too deep, but certainly not shallow. Tang Jiumin quickly went down towards the bottom of the pond.
Soon, under the water, Tang Jiumin saw a passage, which should be the transmission pipe connecting the two pools shown on the reservoir structure diagram when searching the water plant.
After swimming along the current, Tang Jiumin looked at the entrance of the passage and chose to enter.
The surroundings are quiet and dim, and there seems to be nothing special?
Tang Jiumin continued to swim inside. As soon as he entered, he discovered that there was a special being inside!
In the pipeline, there was a relatively biased gate. What caught Tang Jiumin's attention was that drops of viscous red liquid were floating out of it, swimming towards Brother Squidward's reservoir.
Tang Jiumin's eyes flashed.
He swam over, held the valve with both hands, twisted it hard, and slowly opened the gate valve.
After losing the obstacle, a large stream of red viscous liquid rushed out in an instant!
fine! Tang Jiumin was well prepared and took one step ahead to avoid being drenched by the red liquid.
In this way, Tang Jiumin floated quietly aside. He found that after he opened the gate valve, the red liquid inside gushed out for a while before he regained his composure.
After a while, Tang Jiumin probed into the gate valve.
What you see is a dark tunnel.
Observing from the outside, it was impossible to see what was going on inside. Tang Jiumin simply leaned over and swam in smoothly like a mermaid.
After swimming for a while, different scenery soon appeared in the field of vision.
Tang Jiumin held his breath and rushed out of the water in one breath. As soon as he came out, he looked around vigilantly.
After all, he didn't know where those blood-and-fat-like viruses were distributed, but there was no doubt that most of them existed in the water.
The water is clear.
Tang Jiumin's expression relaxed slightly. It seemed that he was lucky and didn't touch that thing.
But when he looked up, his eyes paused, and he instantly understood where he had come.
The bottom of the waterworks.
But there is nothing related to running water here, but a huge automated machine.
The most important thing is that Tang Jiumin saw the source of the flesh and blood: the bright red liquid was contained in a huge transparent water tank, connected to various pipelines, and output through the power system.
And those red liquids just now...
There was a leak in a certain connection point of this machine, causing drops of red liquid to naturally drip.
Because the machinery is on a higher ground, the liquid flows along the ground into the ditches on both sides.
The canal is connected to six pipeline gates, three of which are already connected.
But because the connections are rusty and there are some leaks...
And these bright red liquids floated on the surface of the ditch, accumulated, and eventually seeped out through a similarly rusty and loose gate, causing all of this.
And this gate was where Tang Jiumin came out.
Although I don’t know where these pipes are connected, the truth is clear.
What kind of terrorists are they? It’s all a cover-up...
The real poisoning was at the waterworks.
Seeing this scene, Tang Jiumin understood everything.
Tang Jiumin walked around the automated machine and began to look for something.
It didn't take long for him to find a switch.
Press the button, and with a slight shaking, a hidden elevator descends from the wall behind.
After taking the elevator up, the door slowly opened after a while. It was dark outside and there was nothing. It felt like there was a wall between us.
Tang Jiumin did not leave rashly, but stretched out his hand and knocked lightly, discovering that it was made of wood.
Nothing seems unusual?
So, he kicked it out, and it quickly broke into several pieces against the wooden board inside.
Tang Jiumin lowered his head and walked out, and found that he was already in the locker room. What he kicked open turned out to be a wooden cabinet.
The locker room is located on the underground floor of the entire water plant. It looks pretty neat inside and not dirty.
But who would have thought that there is a hidden elevator hidden behind a wardrobe in the dressing room.
Tang Jiumin walked out of the elevator.
He walked along the passage and found that the structure here was completely consistent with the internal structure of the water plant in his mind.
After returning to the garbage bin, the garbage on the ground was being cleaned by a special robot. It seemed that the debris here was processed regularly.
Standing at the hidden elevator door, Tang Jiumin paused slightly and walked towards the direction where Liu Ziyun and the others were waiting. After a while, he heard the roars of mutated octopus and zombies coming from outside.
Just by listening to the volume, you can clearly hear that one side is strong and the other is weak, indicating that the zombies and mutated octopus outside are about to decide the winner.
At the same time, Liu Ziyun and the others stood at their original positions, waiting anxiously.
Zhang Tiandao was so anxious that he couldn't help but run around in circles, and couldn't help mumbling, "What should I do...how long has the leader been down? Why does it feel like it's been a long time? Is there something wrong?"
"Logically, he should have come up long ago. Could it be..."
"Drown?"
"Shut your crow mouth!" Liu Ziyun glared at Zhang Tiandao and warned him not to talk nonsense, "Tang Jiumin has been strengthened, it is impossible to get into trouble so easily, understand?"
Zhang Tiandao shut his mouth knowingly. He could see that Officer Liu was very unhappy.
"Very good, you are all here." At this moment, Tang Jiumin walked out from behind several people, causing everyone to turn around in shock.
"Of course I'm fine, but there really is something going on under the pool."
"The blood, flesh, and fat are discharged from the water delivery system underneath. There is a cave inside. There is even an elevator hidden in a garbage bin. However, I haven't gone there yet."
"..."
Tang Jiumin told everyone the general situation of the coming down in the shortest words, which made a group of people, including Liu Ziyun, feel very shocked. After all, this was really unexpected.
"Then let's..." Liu Ziyun couldn't help but murmur.
Tang Jiumin glanced at Liu Ziyun with a strange look, and said in surprise, "Is it possible that you still want to retreat? It's already this time, so it makes sense to hurry up and come down with me."
Although Tang Jiumin didn't use a too strong tone, he successfully silenced Liu Ziyun.
A few minutes later, under the leadership of Tang Jiumin, a group of people came to the locker room on the underground floor and found the hidden elevator.
This time, a group of people took the elevator and entered an unknown place.
Soon, the elevator finally reached the ground and stopped. As the door slowly opened, everything Tang Jiumin had seen before appeared before their eyes.
Tang Jiu pitied him and guessed correctly again!
Although everyone knew that with Tang Jiumin's excellent planning, everything he said was basically on target, but when the facts were before their eyes, they were still very surprised!
"Okay, don't stand still, take action quickly."
"That kind of flesh and blood stuff leaked from a rusty valve. I thought it was a deliberate setting of the entire water delivery system, but after thinking about it carefully, it was probably just an accident."
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
"But it was precisely because of this accident that I discovered the anomaly here."
After hearing Tang Jiumin's reminder, everyone came to their senses, quickly walked out of the elevator, and started searching everywhere.
The first thing to explore is the valves.
Liu Ziyun checked them one by one and stopped in front of one of the valves, frowning in thought.
"Officer Liu, did you find anything?" Tang Jiumin came over after seeing it.
