The Bodhi Space of the End Times

Chapter 221 Attempted Theft
Not long after the three panicked figures ran away, a group of four people pushed two tricycles and appeared by the well carrying stainless steel vats.

When they put the car away, picked up the keg hanging from the frame and were about to fetch water, they saw two dead bodies floating in the well, and they were so frightened that they took several steps back.

Ji Shaoting, who was only 22 years old, was terrified. He grabbed Uncle Li who was still calm and stumbled and said, "Li Li, Uncle Li! This, this well, why are there, dead, dead people in this well!"

The other two were a little older than Ji Shaohua, but they all looked at Uncle Li with pale faces.

Uncle Li endured his panic, and forced himself to be calm and reprimanded: "We didn't kill the person, so why panic! Now the water can't be fetched, so we all get on the tricycle. Let's go to the Public Security Bureau to report the crime first."

After Uncle Li finished speaking, Ji Shaoting, who dragged his weak legs, turned around and left first. His messy steps betrayed his flustered mood at the moment.

The remaining two also immediately pushed the tricycle and hurriedly followed.

At the edge of the ancient well at the beginning of the morning, there were only two cold corpses left. After a while of shaking, the two corpses sank into the turbulent well water again.

The people from the Public Security Bureau quickly rushed over on the shaking road.

After investigation and salvage, the body was quickly dragged out of the wellhead.

After confirming the identity of the deceased, the people from the Public Security Bureau did not bother to investigate what happened, adding the rumors in the base.

In the end, it was determined that the two were attempted theft and were drowned instead.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the earthquake had already stopped!
The ancient well was full of people who heard the news and came to watch the excitement. Everyone was shocked to hear that someone died in the only well with water!
They cursed Brother Axe and Sun Xiaobing who had turned into dead ghosts, and some people questioned the base's inaction, why didn't someone take care of such an important place.

For a while! !
The "buzzing" discussion became louder and louder, and the originally quiet ancient well seemed to be a scene of criticism.

In the crowd!
A skinny, middle-aged woman pulled her companion and said with a heartbroken voice: "This country has been murdered, and the good wells have been polluted just like that. How can you drink the water from the well that has died?"

"That's right! But what can I do if I don't drink it! There's no other place for water here!"

The companion also complained with a bitter face, feeling aggrieved just like everyone else, like a bowl of fragrant broth dropped into a rat droppings and had to hold his nose to finish it.

Don't mention that nervousness.
Today everyone still dislikes drinking the bath water of dead people!
But when the next morning! !

When the bad news came from the cafeteria that the well water had dried up, everyone felt that the bath water of the dead was not so bad anymore! !

Because the water source was cut off, people in the base became panicked!

Some people even started robbery and crimes wantonly in the base regardless of their lives.

In just a few days, the originally peaceful Yong'an base was shrouded in endless despair.

After the base staff who searched for water sources returned without success on the fifth day, some people received a month's relief food and left the base with their families.

Sixth day without water!
When Ji Shaoting returned to the tent from get off work from the cafeteria, he saw his mother Liu Minghua and his sister Ji Jing packing up their things, as if they were about to move.

When the two saw him coming back, they quickly greeted him to help move things.

"Xiao Ting is back, hurry up and help move these suitcases to the car."

Ji Shaoting looked at the six large suitcases on the ground, and asked puzzledly: "Sister! Mom! Are we leaving the base too?"

After Ji Jing rolled up the blanket on the bed, she turned around and said to Ji Shaoting, "Well! We met a few people who are going to Hongyan Village this afternoon, so we agreed to go with them!"

"Hongyan Village! Is it the Hongyan Village in Uncle's family?"

Liu Minghua tied several mats together while answering his son's question: "Yes! That's Hongyan Village. This time, everyone from the whole county came here, but no one from your uncle's village came here, so they must be there. And water."
