There is a river in District Three that runs through two provinces and six cities.

Before the catastrophe, the source of this river was connected to the Grand Canal, and the water resources and aquatic products were very abundant.

It used to be a paradise for anglers.

Along both sides of the river are patches of reed marshes, which are green in spring and summer. In autumn, the reed marshes begin to wither and turn yellow and reed flowers bloom.

The wind blew and the reed flowers were flying all over the sky.

For humans at that time, this scenery was not necessarily beautiful.

But for people like Nanyin and others who have never seen the actual scene and have only seen video records of the city, this scene is so beautiful that people can’t bear to blink.

But with the advent of disaster, this river, which once gave birth to countless humans, became something like a stream.

The river surface, which was hundreds of meters wide, dried up, and the black sand bed was cracked in large areas, leaving only a small river in the middle of the river bed, almost like a stream.

Not even a hand wide.

But that's not the point. The point is that the water in these rivers is thick black, and you can smell a pungent smell even before you get close.

The flavor becomes more intense as you get closer.

It's different from the irritation of petroleum, and it's different from the smell of stinky tofu and durian. It's an odor that is completely indescribable.

You don't need to smell this smell for a long time, just get closer to it and it will make you want to suffocate and make you dizzy.

It tastes better than the biochemical taste.

But Nanyin and the others have gotten used to it. In fact, since the disaster officially arrived, there has been no clean water source on this planet.

Each existing water source is more polluted than the last.

The silence was deafening as a group of people stood in the middle of a cracked riverbed, looking at the slowly flowing thick black water.

The breeze blew by, and the smell hit my nostrils.

A group of people looked at Uncle Qin without changing their expressions, and the old man said seriously, "Let's get started."

"it is good."

Uncle Qin unloaded the box on his back and opened it on the river bed. He took the parts and assembled them with familiarity.

Fifteen minutes later, a water source tester was assembled.

The self-test program started. Five minutes later, after seeing that everything was normal and ready for use, Uncle Qin took the measuring cup and started testing the water source.

The water in the river was too shallow and too thick, so it was difficult to draw water from the measuring cup, so I used a syringe to draw water.

Soon, the measuring cup was full. Uncle Qin opened the lid of the instrument's water storage container, carefully poured the water in the measuring cup, and then closed the lid to start the testing process.

The test takes time, and the results may not be available for a while.

In line with the principle that idleness is also idle, Uncle Qin assembled another instrument and prepared to test the soil.

The waiting process was excruciating. Nanyin and the others, not wanting to wait idlely, started walking around to see if they could find anything.

Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly——

"Come on, there are bones!"

Yu Lele's voice came suddenly, showing a bit of shock.

Hearing the noise, Nanyin and the others turned around and looked over. Did they find the skeleton?

"where?"

Nanyin ran away, and Jian Boyu and the others took action not to be outdone.

"Here it is."

Pointing to the skeleton in front of him, Yu Lele said, "It's quite impressive."

Nanyin and the others looked down and found that it was not a large amount, but very large.

This area is full of scattered bones.

Skulls, foot bones, leg bones, etc. are all there.

The shapes look like humans and animals.

Aunt Tang picked up a bone and studied it for a long time, then frowned and said, "There seems to be something wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"There have been small fights here."

"War?" Yu Lele thought of the one-step documentary he had watched before, and answered subconsciously.

"It's not a war, but it's a fight."

"There are guns, there are knives."

Nanyin looked at the traces left on the skull in his hand, and said in a shocked tone, "The person who did it was with the intention of killing someone. The bones were clearly visible with one cut. If nothing else, he should be a powerful developer."

This kind of thing is actually not surprising. At the beginning of the catastrophe, human beings fought among themselves very fiercely for limited resources.

Fighting together regardless of race or creed.

Wherever there are resources, move there.

The concept of country and family is blurred, and the same is true between countries.

In order to survive, some people came across the sea, while others climbed over the mountains and mountains.

Race, religion and other shit are not included.

Living is everything.

When survival becomes the only goal, people's moral bottom line begins to decline infinitely.

Bloody and dark things were not uncommon at all during that period.

but--

"Why do people get together with animals?"

There was also a fight with weapons.

It looks like it's still a mess.

People fight with people and animals, there are enemies everywhere, and no one can be trusted except themselves.

No one could answer Nanyin's question.

No one knows what happened at that time.

Therefore, everyone's eyes fell on Aunt Tang.

Tang Shiyun, who was being saluted with attention, examined the bones with an expressionless face. When she noticed the hot gaze falling on her body, she said without raising her head, "It's caused by water."

"Animals need water, and people also need water, but given the environment at that time, there was not much drinkable water."

As a result, this river became the only source of life for animals and humans.

It’s a pity that “in order to survive, people and animals chased water sources, but they gathered together and had conflicts while drinking water.”

"I don't think you should be able to figure out the rest by combining historical and video data."

I can really think of it.

Bian Shiming sighed, "I have always known that our three generations have had a difficult life. In fact, people three generations ago did not live happily either."

"I can't be happy."

Nan Yin, who is familiar with history, lowered his voice and said, "People in that period were more difficult and more desperate than us."

After all, the world has been in tatters for as long as they can remember, and they have grown accustomed to darkness.

They clearly know that what awaits them is a black future. Whether they can expel this blackness and transform it into a bright future depends on themselves.

People of that period were different. They saw the fireworks of the prosperous times, enjoyed abundant supplies, fast and convenient life, ate delicacies from mountains and seas, and drank all kinds of drinks except water.

I have personally experienced and experienced the happiness of a peaceful life.

Overnight, the world changed, the light disappeared, darkness came, but the living had to continue to live.

But how to live is a difficult choice.

Some people have a heart for the light and embark on a path of salvation.

Some people have fallen with the darkness and embarked on a path of no return.

But no matter what kind, life was extremely difficult for humans in that period.

Putting the skull in her hand on the ground, she sighed, "Being a human is really difficult."

Yu Lele felt sad, "It is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, you still have to live. Only when you are alive can you have hope, and only when you are alive can you have a future."

It was okay not to say this, but as soon as Jian Boyu said it, he couldn't help but said, "Since you know this, why do you still take risks?"

This refers to the exposure of her glove handles to radiation and ultraviolet light.
