Chapter 269: Someone is coming

After getting ready, he went outside the RV and placed all the necessary facilities for the water park in their corresponding positions.

Once the facilities were set up, the rest was left to the drones for installation and adjustment, with all these tasks handled by the system.

He himself went into the swimming pool, considering what kind of water would be most suitable.

Normally, tap water would suffice.

However, he didn’t have tap water now, though he had plenty of other miscellaneous water sources.

He planned to change the pool water every three days; he wasn’t like those unscrupulous businesses that added large amounts of disinfectant, flocculant, algaecide, and pH adjusters to the water daily.

With such large quantities of chemicals added, the pool water would likely turn into a chemical concoction.

There had been many news reports of incidents in the past, with common issues being skin allergies and tonsillitis.

Experts had already explained the reasons for these illnesses.

These mainly included molluscum contagiosum, bacterial infections, allergic reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, H1N1 influenza, novel coronavirus infections, and pneumonia.

Liang Yu didn’t want to do that; he wasn’t short on water, and there were only a few people in total.

It might seem wasteful for the current situation, but it was his water, and he didn’t care what others said.

Water conservation? Not a chance.

Now, Liang Yu was a big spender and wanted to learn from others.

Some people, just to see flowing water, kept it running 24 hours a day, allowing it to be wantonly squandered; statistics show a monthly water consumption of 870 tons.

Besides that, take golf courses worldwide; a typical 18-hole course, on average, consumes about 1,000 to 2,500 cubic meters of water daily, using approximately 400,000 to 420,000 tons of water per year.

Larger courses would only use more, and this was just the water consumption of one golf course.

Then some people started advocating for the general public to save water, which was truly a joke.

But now it was different; he was Liang Yu, the one with the most global water resources after the disaster.

Liang Yu took out a large Wahaha water storage tank, which contained ten tons of water.

Many people might not have a concept of ten tons of water; let’s take normal bottled water as an example.

A barrel of purified bottled water is 19L, or 38 catties, while 10 tons of water is 20,000 catties, which is about 526 barrels.

Liang Yu’s water park was relatively small, so he calculated that it would need 120 tons of water, which meant twelve tanks.

As he continuously released water from the tanks, Survivors nearby had already begun to gather.

And there were quite a few of them; they had all heard about the iceberg and risked coming over.

The group that fled last time did not spread the word about the Titan Python as Liang Yu had expected; instead, everyone kept silent, as if nothing had happened.

However, apart from the matter of the Titan Python, this group had told everyone the location of the iceberg, practically giving them directions.

Their intentions were very clear; it could be said that all the people gathered were their cannon fodder.

Now, over a hundred people had gathered near the iceberg, and upon arriving, they finally felt the long-lost coolness.

Some even directly threw themselves onto it, hugging a corner and gnawing on it.

Such people were not few; some even lay directly on the ground, spread-eagled on the ice.

Others were more restrained, picking up tools to chip off some ice and putting it into their mouths.

Some took containers, put all the chipped ice into them, filled them up, and then left this dangerous place.

These people were the smartest; they knew what they needed at the moment and could control their desires, unlike the others.

Greed is often fatal, no matter when.

Soon, these people ran into trouble; after enjoying it for a while, they recalled the feeling of the cold wave.

These icebergs were not naturally formed; if contact was brief or the amount was small, generally nothing would happen.

However, the people currently there, upon discovering the iceberg, wished they could melt into it.

Those who were leaving took containers filled with ice and departed; the remaining people, men wearing only shorts and women mostly in swimsuits, were still there.

This caused large areas of their bodies to come into contact with the ice, accelerating the invasion of the cold.

Some could no longer bear it and ran away from the iceberg.

When there’s a leader, it often influences many others; they were also wavering between leaving and staying, and once someone left, it would affect these people.

Soon, only a few people with better physical conditions remained on the iceberg.

Those who fled the iceberg initially thought that the cold in their bodies would disappear after leaving the iceberg for a while.

But these people quickly realized the seriousness of the situation; they were already freezing and couldn’t take it anymore, hugging their bodies and trembling constantly.

Someone thought of a solution and immediately lay down on the ground.

Although the gravel on the ground was a bit uncomfortable, doing so did provide some relief.

Others saw this scene and followed suit, leading to a shocking sight: a group of people, wearing only their fig leaves, all spread-eagled on the ground.

However, this method only provided temporary relief; once the heat from the ground was exhausted, the cold within these people’s bodies began to become uncontrollable again.

At this point, someone understood how to expel the cold that had entered their bodies.

There were only two methods: one was to soak in hot water to counteract the cold within the body.

The other was somewhat extreme; how extreme, you ask?

During the day, find a place with weaker sunlight and let the sun directly hit the body; this method could also be used for those with milder levels of invasion.

But it was still several hours until dawn; how would they endure this period?

Just as these people were feeling lost, they discovered a firelight appearing not far away.

Everyone instantly reached a consensus and decided to go and see.

So, a group of people, enduring the invasion of the cold, came to the firelight, and upon arriving, they found that someone had placed an iron plate between two stones, with many firewood burning beneath the iron plate.

The person who lit the fire was lying on the iron plate; although it was easy to get burned, this was currently the most effective method.

And there was another reason for doing this: they hadn’t bathed for a long time, and a thin layer of mud had formed on their skin, which could effectively prevent burns.

The others saw the comfortable expression on the face of the person on the iron plate and wished they could immediately take their place.
