Chapter 139 The Li Family's Conspiracy
Chapter 139 The Li Family's Conspiracy
Around 5 p.m., Di Xing and his group finally arrived at the water inlet, located on the edge of the fourth level. It was a huge, inverted bucket-shaped reservoir with a long, narrow platform extending forward.
The description of it as long and narrow is relative to the enormous size of Muwu Dulun; the platform is actually a full 60 meters wide, and many people are standing on it, including two whom Di Xing recognizes.
"Vitty, Xiao Sihuo, you're here too!" Di Xing greeted them excitedly.
Seeing Di Xing, Vivi ran over happily, "Di Xing, what brings you here?"
As she spoke, Vivi's tail unconsciously wrapped around Di Xing's foot.
Nami gave a disdainful look, while Li Fei Hua Yue maintained a poker face. Di Xing ignored them, thinking to himself, "Has Vidy stopped hiding her tail?"
Vitty blushed slightly when she saw Dixing looking at her tail.
"Well, I still have some reservations, but since I might have to go into the water to get water, I have to be in the best possible swimming condition at all times."
"I see."
"Haha, your name is Di Xing, right? You seem quite spirited too. But my name is Xiao Yi, not Xiao Si Huo."
Xiao Yi, the user of the Flame King deck, also came over.
Both of them were candidates for the Star-Rising Competition in their respective regions. Di Xing hurriedly told them about the possible conspiracy that the Jia Kou family might be plotting. The two of them listened with grave expressions.
"Damn it, I really want to rush to Jia Kou's house and burn all those jackals to the ground!"
It seemed like Xiao Yi's head was on fire again.
"This guy's brain's probably fried," Di Xing remarked.
Compared to Xiao Yi, who gets angry at the drop of a hat, Vivian is much more reliable, she pondered.
"What you say is very likely true, but we can't stop Muwuduren from moving forward anymore. These things are all chosen by the city lord, and there's nothing we can do. If what you say is true, then we can only try to get all the other districts to mobilize manpower to help the Zagu district quickly eradicate the diseased potatoes to alleviate the disease."
"Furthermore, I think your theory makes a lot of sense. The Li family might try some underhanded tactics this time when they need water."
After she finished speaking, she and Di Xing both looked towards the distant Hundred Caves Mountain, which had come into view.
Baidong Mountain isn't very high, and its terrain is relatively flat. The setting sun's rays cast upon it, making it resemble a person lying down, covered in blood, which instilled a sense of unease in everyone present.
......
At 7:30 PM, Muwu Dulun finally arrived at Hundred Caves Mountain. The enormous city was even more majestic than this not-so-large mountain. After the city came to a stop, the platform where Di Xing and the others were located began to extend forward.
As the platform drew closer to Baidong Mountain, Di Xing discovered an iron gate on one of the platforms.
"Because Muwu Dulun comes here every year to replenish the water, an artificial canal was dug on Baidong Mountain to facilitate water intake. That iron sluice gate is the outlet of the canal."
"Wow, that's amazing!"
“After the Great End, people fought with all their might to survive,” Vitty remarked.
"After entering through this platform, the water flows into the central water storage tank on the fourth floor. However, because it uses water directly from outside, it is not potable. It needs to be pumped out by various water plants and processed before it can be consumed."
"Hopefully, the water for the water treatment plant comes from that central water storage tank on each floor."
That's right.
Just as the platform was completely blocked by the iron gate, and Vitty was about to send the command to open the gate, a fat man appeared in front of them.
The fat man was incredibly obese, probably weighing over 200 kilograms, and he was holding a hamburger, which he kept munching on.
Vitty's face immediately showed displeasure when she saw the fat man.
Xiao Yi took a step forward. "Li Family's 11th Fatty, what are you doing here?"
"This fat guy is also a member of the Li family."
The fat man, who had been called "Li Family Eleventh Fatty," suddenly had a huge "well" mark appear on his temple. "I am Li Family Eleventh Young Master, Xiao Yi. Show me some respect, or I'll sit on you and kill you!"
Looking at Li Jia's 11th son's enormous buttocks, Di Xing thought to himself that he might actually be able to do it.
The 11th young master of the Li family revealed a wicked expression again. "Hmph, our Li family has received news that the water here is polluted and cannot be used."
"What? If we don't get water from here, how will the residents live?" Xiao Yi said excitedly.
"Isn't there still our Li family's water? Although it's a tiny bit more expensive."
"Idiot, if you don't get water from here, your Li family won't have any water either."
"My name is Li Yichi, not 'Idiot'!" A huge zigzag pattern appeared on Li Yichi's temples again.
"And thanks to you, Vitty, a large portion of our Li family's water hasn't been sold yet; it's even starting to rot. But for people who are dying of thirst, even rotten water would fetch a fortune, hahaha."
Di Xing clenched his fist, it hardened, his fist hardened.
Vitty took out a card. "Get out of the way, or I won't be polite."
Li Yichi grinned wickedly, took another bite of his hamburger, and food crumbs flew everywhere. "I know I can't beat you, but if I can find a way to blow up this platform, you won't be able to get water, right?"
"what?"
Four people emerged from behind Li Yi's obese body.
Because his body was so enormous, no one initially noticed that there was someone behind him. It turns out that fat people really can be used as cover to block the line of sight.
Li Yi held up the card in his hand. "Come out, hungry hamburger!"
A hamburger with a gaping, bloodthirsty mouth appeared in the air.
"Is it also a graphics card engineer?"
"Come on, hungry hamburgers and little ones, let's blow this tunnel up!"
Li Yi's henchmen pulled out various weapons, including rocket launchers, and aimed them at the platform.
At this critical moment
“Eleventh Young Master, if you do this, it will cause me a lot of trouble,” a person dressed in a black cloak appeared behind Li Yichi and his group.
Di Xing recognized the voice so well, but he couldn't quite place it.
"What are you doing here instead of polluting the lake with slime? Ugh!"
Before Li Yichi could finish speaking, he and his henchmen were struck down by a demon with enormous mechanical claws.
"Young Master, water is the source of life, it's extremely precious, how could I possibly pollute it carelessly?"
The man in the black robe removed his hood, revealing himself to be Maktu.
Maktu said self-deprecatingly, "Also, I didn't really want to harm the common people, but it was the master craftsman's order, so I had no choice." Then he looked at Di Xing.
"We meet again, young man. You must stop this disaster! I believe in you."
Then he spread his arms, and instantly, countless slimes appeared behind him. The slimes surged forward like a tidal wave, and Maktu's figure was submerged in the slime tide.
The slimes surged wildly along the passage toward Dusk Durren. We can't let them get past, or the residents of the fourth floor will be doomed!
"Hmph, a mere trick." Xiao Yan took out his trump card, Flame King God - Great Roc Undying Phoenix - Eternal Flame.
"Watch me wipe you out in an instant! Come out, Great Phoenix Eternal Flame!"
The Great Roc, the Immortal Phoenix, appeared in the night sky, radiating an incredibly intense heat wave that instantly incinerated all the slimes. However, as the slimes were completely burned away, five enormous machines appeared in people's sight behind the original slime tide.
"It's a slime breeding reactor!"
Before everyone could react, countless slimes poured out of the slime proliferation reactor!
