Chapter 298: Can Only Solve the Emergency

It was obvious whether Meng Shan was telling the truth or not.

Bai Wutong looked into the well. As expected, the water level was very low.

Generally speaking, after water was fetched from the well, underground water would emerge from the ground.

However, with such a low amount of water, it was obvious that there was not much groundwater left.

There were so many people in their team. After fetching water, it was indeed as Meng Shan had said. Even if there was water left, it was not enough to sustain the people of their tribe to live here.

They were at the border between the desert and the gra.s.slands. It was very likely for conflict between the Central Plains people and the locals to happen. If they forcefully took water and did not give them a way out, the people of the southern frontier would probably be even more unwilling to submit to the management of the Ling Kingdom Imperial Court.

You Huaijie seemed to be thinking about what to do, but from time to time, he would look at Bai Wutong, waiting for her to make a decision.

Bai Wutong thought for a moment and looked at Meng Shan, who was trembling in fear as Chu Tianbao grabbed him. “Is there another place to get water?”

Meng Shan said, “There’s a hidden river three days ahead. You can go there to get water! ”

Bai Wutong was stunned. ‘Then why didn’t you go there to get water?”

Meng Shan said honestly, “We have well water, which is enough to drink, but there are so many of you. Even if we drain the well water, it won’t be enough!” “Then why don’t you move there to live?” Bai Wutong wondered.

Meng Shan said, “We want to, but the hidden river only has water in spring and disappears in summer. If we move there, we might as well stay here!” He emphasized, “As long as no one s.n.a.t.c.hes the water from us, we can live.

He did not seem to be lying. Bai Wutong gave Chu Tianbao a look and Chu Tianbao let Meng Shan go.

After Chu Tianbao let go, Meng Shan coughed a few times and obediently retreated to the side to see what the others were planning.

After checking their existing water , Bai Wutong realised that it was not enough to last three days. It was barely enough for a day.

However, the current situation was that even if all the water in the well was drained, it would not be enough for everyone.

It would definitely arouse suspicion if Bai Wutong secretly filled the well with tap water.

She had once watched a doc.u.mentary on desert survival. The male protagonist had nothing and survived in the desert for a month. He had used several ways to get water.

Bai Wutong had forgotten how he had done it exactly. She quickly checked the survival guide in the computer in the RV s.p.a.ce and saw a suitable way to get water.

Although they could not obtain a lot of water, it was enough to resolve their immediate needs.

Bai Wutong gave a look and You Huaijie said, “Let’s go back first. ‘

Meng Shan’s eyes widened in disbelief when he saw You Huaijie bringing so many people back.

Were Central Plains people that reasonable?

With their manpower, they could have killed them directly and taken all the well water for themselves. If it were Meng Shan himself, he would definitely do it.

The Central Plains people did not do that. For a moment, he had mixed feelings.

He was not the only one. The rest of the Southern Frontier people and Syrians had also suddenly lowered their resistance to these Central Plains people.

Suddenly, a handsome man with a high nose bridge and golden eyes suddenly appeared in the crowd. His eyes were gloomy as he said to Meng Shan, “How can the Central Plains people go to the southern frontier without water? They must be using schemes to get rid of us at the lowest cost. ‘

Beside him, a tall and beautiful woman who looked like him also said, “That’s right! The Central Plains people are best at scheming. We must not be deceived by their hypocritical appearance.”

“The Central Plains people have killed so many of our people. How can they be merciful?!”

Hearing what the siblings said, Meng Shan frowned. “You’re right! They don’t have water. With so many people, they definitely won’t be able to reach the underground river! ” Then, he said worriedly to his tribe, “Don’t let down our guard. Defend the well water to the death tonight!’

Feng Xun and Feng Yue looked at each other. Feng Yue’s gaze turned cold, and he made a beheading gesture. “It’s just as the Central Plains people said.

Instead of being slaughtered, it’s better to strike first!”

They had failed to a.s.sa.s.sinate You Huaijie twice. They had disguised themselves as ordinary tribesmen of the Southern Frontier because they wanted to capture them all here.

Meng Shan could tell that Feng Xun and Feng Yue were not ordinary citizens of Sourthern Frontier, but he had no intention of getting involved in these disputes. As long as the Central Plains people did not take the well water, there was no need to sacrifice their citizens to start a conflict.

Meng Shan went straight to the point. “We have too few people. We can’t beat them!”

Feng Xun and Feng Yue’s faces turned green. They couldn’t beat the other party as well, so they wanted to instigate Meng Shan to take the lead and take advantage of the chaos.

Feng Yue was unwilling to give up and tried to persuade him. “The people of the Central Plains are very weak. If our tribe and your tribe attack together at night, we will definitely be able to kill them all!”

Meng Shan was not stupid at all. “Forget it. We commoners are weak. How can their soldiers be weak? That person alone can kill me. I don’t want to die in vain with my clansmen.”

So what if the Southern Frontier was ruled by the Ling Kingdom? In any case, it was fine as long as they did not bother them.

Feng Xun and Feng Yue’s expressions changed, but they had to admit that Chu Tianbao was indeed very powerful.

Moreover, the dark guards hiding beside Chu Tianbao were top-notch experts.

However, Feng Xun and Feng Yue refused to stop. Their intuition told them that Chu Tianbao was a more important figure than You Huaijie, or perhaps he was You Huaijie himself. He pretended to be an ordinary person so that he would not be discovered by them.

They even planned to capture Chu Tianbao alive and make him a spy to serve their Heavenly Wolf Army!

If he could not be used, they would definitely kill him!

Feng Xun and Feng Yue discussed and Feng Yue said, “Brother, we can’t kill everyone. But we can lure people out.”

Feng Xun nodded in agreement.

Just as the siblings were discussing how to lure Chu Tianbao out, Cui s.h.i.+ze saw that they did not get any water when they returned. He could not help but ask worriedly, “How is it?”

Bai Wutong said, “There’s not enough well water for all of us, and the locals won’t let us take it. There will definitely be a conflict if we forcefully take it. ‘

Cui s.h.i.+ze frowned and did not know what to say.

After all, their lives were lives. Other people’s lives were also lives.

It was indeed not right to forcefully get water, but without water, they could not continue.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Lin Yue muttered, “If we had known, we would have picked more cactus. ‘ Although it tasted bad, it contained a lot of water.

Bai Wutong smiled. “There are so many of us. Even if we remove all the cactuses, it won’t be enough.” After a moment’s thought, her eyes suddenly lit up. “However, that’s an idea. If we encounter cactuses on the way, we can pluck them to quench our thirst and ask the locals for some well water. At night, we can make our own water collectors. We should be able to last until we reach the hidden river to get water.’

Cui s.h.i.+ze’s eyes suddenly lit up. “A water collector can fetch water in the desert?”

Bai Wutong nodded. “Sure, but not much water. It can only solve an immediate problem.. “
