Chapter 227:

He forcefully swallowed the words he was about to say.

“It’s fine, Xiao Yizi, just wash as usual.”

“I wash with your sister every day, that way we don’t waste water resources.”

For some reason, at this moment, Mu Yunxi suddenly blurted out without thinking.

“I can also wash with you two, that would save even more water resources.”

When she finished speaking, Lan Ling and Liang Yu looked at Mu Yunxi in astonishment, unable to believe that she would say such a thing.

Liang Yu looked at Lan Ling. His meaning was very clear.

He was clearly suspicious that Lan Ling had instigated Mu Yunxi to say such words.

After Mu Yunxi blurted out those words, she noticed the strange expressions on the faces of the two people in front of her.

She carefully recalled her own words, and instantly her small face turned completely red. She quickly opened her mouth to explain to Lan Ling.

“No, Sis, listen to me rationalize.”

“Bah!”

“Sis, listen to my explanation!!!”

Lan Ling interrupted the excited Mu Yunxi, and after calming her down, she said.

“It’s fine, if you have this idea, I won’t object.”

“Come on, let’s two sisters go have a private chat. Don’t mind this Da Zhu Ti Zi.”

At this moment, Liang Yu felt very hurt. Last night, she called him all sorts of nice things.

Now that he was no longer needed, he had become a Da Zhu Ti Zi. How could this be?

Watching Lan Ling take Xiao Yizi away, he was suddenly left alone.

Liang Yu then opened the map of the Small County and looked at his current location.

About twenty kilometers from him, there was a reservoir.

From the map, a whole river channel extended from the reservoir, running through the county town.

His current location was less than three kilometers from the river channel.

If the asphalt road was impassable, Liang Yu felt that traveling by water was still feasible.

However, this could only last for one or two days. If the high temperature continued, the water in the river channel would eventually dry up.

Liang Yu’s plan was to leave here first. If it really didn’t work, then he would have to switch to flight mode.

Although flight mode was very good, it had a drawback in the current situation.

They would definitely start traveling at night. If the flight altitude was too low, it would be easy for others to jump onto the front of the RV.

If he increased the altitude, Liang Yu was unsure of the temperature in the sky and didn’t want to gamble whether the RV’s temperature regulation system would be affected at high altitudes.

Therefore, the high-altitude flight plan was directly rejected by Liang Yu. The most suitable option now was to travel by water.

From the map, following the river channel all the way down, its final destination was the sea.

Although it deviated from the route, once they reached the sea, they could completely drive along the coast.

So, the most urgent matter currently was to confirm the water level of the river channel, so that subsequent matters could proceed smoothly.

He immediately controlled the Sixteen Type outside, and it flew towards the river channel’s location according to the map’s directions.

The first kilometer of the journey was very smooth for the Sixteen Type, and Liang Yu also saw the situation along the way.

There were many fallen people on the road, all without exception. After their malnourished bodies fell, the ground became a frying pan.

It was constantly cooking these corpses on the ground.

Although many of the survivors after the cold wave had become very thin from hunger.

Even so, these people’s bodies were still rendered with corpse oil by the high temperature.

The corpse oil continuously cooked these two-legged sheep.

Through the Sixteen Type, Liang Yu had already seen people in shops on both sides of some streets, enduring the high temperature and the risk of dehydration and heatstroke.

They held self-made grappling hooks, constantly throwing them at the corpses, trying to hook them and drag them over.

Liang Yu didn’t believe that they were so kind as to collect these people’s bodies.

Taking such a big risk, they must be doing it for food. Although the cold wave had passed.

There wasn’t much food now, and for them, as long as it was edible, that was enough.

After all, how long had it been since the cold wave ended, and now there was high temperature again.

Liang Yu was already accustomed to their behavior. It was important to know that high temperatures were even harder to endure than the cold wave.

This was not Liang Yu being alarmist, because the facts were just like that.

During the cold wave, you could still huddle at home, put on clothes, and wrap yourself in quilts to get through it.

You could also use anything that could burn in your house as fuel, and while keeping warm, you could also melt the snow you dug outside and drink a mouthful of hot water to warm yourself.

People can go for a long time without eating. At such times, the body will initiate self-cannibalism. Then they use water to satisfy their hunger.

During the cold wave, this was a way to barely survive.

But now it was the first day of high temperature. Food was still manageable; wasn’t the dried two-legged mutton on the ground readily available?

But one point was very important, and that was water sources.

The cold wave could turn snow into water, but in this high-temperature situation, water sources would only become scarcer.

Perhaps these people could still get some water from the pipes, but that would only be limited to today and tomorrow.

Subsequently, for them to survive, water sources would be a big problem.

Therefore, on the roads ahead, Liang Yu also saw some fearless people who had made simple protective measures.

They were moving little by little towards the river channel along the shadows on the street.

Compared to them, Liang Yu didn’t have so many concerns and quickly arrived above the river channel’s railing.

The result, however, greatly disappointed him.

The good news was that there was still water in the river channel, and the water level was still half full.

The bad news was that on just the first day, the river channel’s water level was only half. So where did the other half go?

Liang Yu was a bit unwilling to give up. He flew along the river channel and after about ten minutes, arrived at the reservoir’s location.

Upon arriving at the reservoir, Liang Yu realized that this Small County’s reservoir was not small at all.

If Liang Yu was not mistaken, this reservoir should be a small (1) type reservoir.

The definition of this type of reservoir is a storage capacity greater than or equal to 1 million cubic meters and less than 10 million cubic meters.

This gave Liang Yu an idea: open the gates and release water. But this premise was to first check how much water was still stored in the reservoir.

But Liang Yu quickly stopped smiling. He could not destroy this reservoir.

Currently, the reservoir’s storage capacity was still at least close to ninety percent.

If he destroyed the reservoir, it would inevitably cause a flood, and a flood in this kind of weather would be somewhat terrifying.

Soaking in water at dozens of degrees would undoubtedly put everyone in a state of being cooked.

After much thought, this kind of thing still could not be done. The water in this reservoir should be left for the people of this county to use.

As for the water in the reservoir being unclean and undrinkable.

Liang Yu felt that the people who had survived by now should not be that finicky. At this point, who cared if it was clean or not?

Being able to have water to drink was already very good. What right did they have to be picky here?
