Yang Xiao thought for a while and said:
"Instead of sitting here waiting for death, why not take a risk? The water monster is in the water and we are on the shore. As long as we don't go into the water and just dig the taro on the shore, there should be no problem. Besides, I think the water in the pool is still okay. Pack a little and bring it back. You don’t need to boil the water on the spot. You can just put it in a water bottle and bring it back and boil it for drinking. The water in my bag is limited after all.”
When Yang Xiao said this, everyone felt that there seemed to be no better way.
Huang Wen looked at Yang Xiao and said:
"We are all girls and timid. You are the boss now and we all listen to you."
Yang Xiao was put on the fire with just one sentence.
Yang Xiao was stunned for a few seconds. According to yesterday's agreement, he had no obligation to lead everyone on the adventure. However, when he saw the pitiful looks in the eyes of these thirty girls, he really couldn't bear it.
Yang Xiao thought for a while and decided that he could only be the Holy Mother for once and said:
"I can take you there, but you must obey my command in everything. Otherwise, if something happens, I will just slap my ass and leave. I will never stay for a second."
"Okay, we all listen to you, who calls you our boss?"
Chen Fei and others also started to make noises, and this time Yang Xiao realized that the boss was really not that easy to be.
"Well, I need to select the people first. If you feel you can still run, stand up if you have some strength. If you are really hungry and faint, sit on the ground and don't move."
Huang Wen and others looked at each other, and a dozen girls stood up.
Yang Xiao glanced at it and said:
"Okay, just you guys, let me make a few requests first. First, collect a large number of empty mineral water bottles. We will fill them with water later. Second, each person should prepare an iron rod. It is best to find a few. The shovel, this is for digging taro. Third, everyone is required to wear long clothes and long trousers, preferably jeans. The trouser legs should be tied and the long sleeves should be buttoned. Now we will separate and gather here in half an hour."
Huang Wen, Chen Fei, Chen Lu and others took action immediately. They had prepared empty mineral water bottles yesterday. There were dozens of large and small bottles. The iron rods were already there and were the weapons they now used to defend themselves. As for the long Wear long trousers, some girls wear cropped trousers, some wear skirts, just change it with those girls who don't have to move.
After a period of busy work, within half an hour, everyone was basically ready.
Huang Wen and others also borrowed three shovels from a nearby team.
Yang Xiao took a look and found that it was basically done, so he led everyone to set off.
Yang Xiao didn't know the road, so Huang Wen and other veteran students led the way. After more than ten minutes, everyone set foot on the mountain road of Yueshan.
Yang Xiao asked everyone to stop.
"Boss, what's going on?"
Huang Wen asked.
Yang Xiao smiled and took out a pack of soda crackers from his backpack.
"Eat this pack of biscuits. You will have some strength later, and you will also have this bottle of water."
Huang Wen and others looked at Yang Xiao and felt a little excited. Since the catastrophe, she had been used to seeing all kinds of cruel and ruthless people, but she did not expect that Yang Xiao, a stranger, would be so kind and caring to everyone.
Huang Wen choked and nodded. Everyone suddenly realized that it was really nice to have a man as the boss. No wonder those girls wanted to join other teams, even if they sacrificed their bodies.
"While you are eating, I say that the situation on the mountain may have exceeded our expectations. We are going for an adventure this time, not to risk our lives. Everyone should be careful when walking. Don't be alone. If you encounter some Mutated creatures can be killed directly with the tools in hand."
What Yang Xiao is most worried about now is that the insects, rats, venomous snakes on the mountain have begun to mutate in large numbers, posing an unimaginable threat.
These girls were very timid at first, but now that Yang Xiao is the boss, they have regained some of their courage after eating two more biscuits. Everyone expressed their intention to follow the boss to make a living. Once these girls became active, the atmosphere was very lively.
Yang Xiao thought to himself that they were indeed a group of sultry women. He should be careful not to fall into their trap in the future.
Everyone held iron rods and looked after each other as they walked toward the pool.
"Look, everyone, there is a spider on the tree. It is as big as a palm. Have you never seen it before?"
"And those mosquitoes are as thick as a thumb, so scary!"
"Even butterflies have become the size of cattail leaf fans. This world is too scary. Old man Gubo is right. All creatures around the world have undergone genetic mutations."
Everyone continued to find some mutated animals along the way, and they began to feel a little panic. Fortunately, these mutated creatures did not attack them actively. With Yang Xiao's firm leadership, everyone moved forward with courage.
After walking for more than ten minutes, everyone finally arrived at the pool and stood at a distance.
Because there was a monster attack in the water pool yesterday, no one else came here except Yang Xiao and his team. Everyone could still see many basins, kettles, water bottles, etc. discarded by the water pool, some of which were already filled with water.
Chen Lu pointed to the water pool not far away and said:
"Look, everyone, taro leaves."
There are many taros growing densely beside the water pool. Along the water pool, there is at least 20 meters long water bank, both in the water and on the water bank.
"Huang Wen, you take nine people, in groups of three, stand far away from the shore, and only dig the taro on the shore. One person digs, and the other two pay attention to the surrounding environment, especially the various kinds of things in the grass. Mutated bugs, be careful of getting bitten.”
Huang Wen nodded. As long as they didn't go into the water, they weren't that worried, so they took a few people over to dig taro.
Yang Xiao took a big iron bucket and said to the other girls:
"You stand on the shore and are responsible for filling the water. I am responsible for going to the waterside and bringing the water up."
Everyone agreed upon hearing this that it should be safe to stand on the shore.
Yang Xiao first handed the iron bucket to a girl and asked her to follow him. He held the steel pipe in both hands and walked to a simple dock by the water to check it out.
The water in the pool is relatively clear. You can see the water plants on the shore and the sand at the bottom at a glance. It is estimated that even if there are water monsters, they will not hide on the shore.
Yang Xiao inserted the steel pipe on the shore.
"Give me the bucket."
He took the iron bucket, fetched a bucket of water, and quickly lifted it to the grassy slope in the distance.
The girls here quickly took some small basins and scooped water into the water bottles.
When Yang Xiao mentioned the third bucket of water, suddenly, a monster with arms as thick as a snake emerged from the water, jumped out of the water, and flew towards Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao's senses have long been different from ordinary people. As soon as the monster appeared, he was already alert and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the shore.
Several girls standing not far away screamed when they saw the monster attacking Yang Xiao.
Huang Wen and others were digging taro again when they heard the screams. They were so frightened that they dropped their shovels and ran back.
Fortunately, Yang Xiao reacted in time, and the monster did not bite Yang Xiao and fell to the grass on the shore with a splat.
In a panic, Yang Xiao took out two one-foot-long watermelon knives from his backpack, turned around and faced the monster on the grass. After a closer look, he realized that the monster was not a snake, but an enlarged version of an eel.
Wow, even the eels have become so huge!
