The source of the stream is at the Yuanhe Dam. After that, Officers Qi Yuan and Song often found corpses and various garbage floating down the bank.
Ye Fu originally planned to let them push the found corpse directly back into the water and let it float downstream. Burning the corpse would have a strong smell. Recently, there were more patrol vehicles on the road. It would be troublesome if they were targeted by those people.
It's just that the bodies were pushed downstream. The refugees downstream were short of food, clothing, and medicine. If they drank the contaminated water, they would definitely die.
"There is no need to grind cornmeal. The machine is loud so that no one can hear it." After dinner, everyone was sitting in the living room drinking tea and chatting. Ye Fu said suddenly.
"The island is far away from the road and separated by a stream, so you shouldn't be able to hear the sound."
"After dark, any noise will be amplified countless times, so you have to be more careful. There has been no movement of racing in the past two days. It is estimated that the base has issued an order not to allow racing anymore, but more and more bodies are floating in the river.
Too much, something is wrong."
Ye Fu took the book on the table, which was the record book Qi Yuan had placed here. He opened the first page and recorded the number of corpses found in the water in the past three days.
Because the island is surrounded by water and surrounded by streams, the streams around the island are buffered, and corpses floating down from the upper reaches will be blocked on the shore of the island and cannot be flushed down. Qi Yuan's current job is to patrol outside.
"Eight corpses floated down from the upper reaches in three days, and these corpses all had severe whiplash injuries. These deceased were all young, probably no more than twenty-five years old. Among the eight deceased, three were women."
Ye Fu didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but there were corpses floating downstream all the time. The corpses rotted and contained toxins. If the stream was polluted, they would definitely be affected if they lived here. After the polar night, the trees would not get light, so they would need to absorb a lot of oxygen.
, corpses pollute water sources and air, which will directly affect the entire ecological environment.
"It would be great if the body could be intercepted upstream."
Ye Fu thought that there were many large fishing nets in the space, but it might not be realistic to intercept the corpses. After all, the width of the stream upstream was only dozens of meters at its narrowest.
Qi Yuan sighed, "These dead people are probably the slaves Meng Yu calls them. Everyone died so miserably. I guess after the base didn't allow those dandy kids to race, they took it out on the refugees. Look, how many people did this happen?"
God, so many people were killed."
"We plant some orchids in our wooden house. Orchids can release oxygen. If the polar night lasts for more than a year, the oxygen will become thinner and people will be suffocated to death." After Ye Fu finished speaking, everyone changed from their lazy state and looked at her in horror.
"Ye Fu, is it so serious?"
"certainly."
"Should we store some oxygen? What will we do when the oxygen is gone?"
When I was in country W, all the pharmaceutical factories were evacuated, and there seemed to be oxygen concentrators inside.
"How to preserve oxygen? Okay, I will bring some orchid seeds to Brother Song later. When the orchid seedlings are cultivated, they will be placed in the wooden house. Regardless of whether they are useful or not, let's nip them in the bud."
Ye Fu took several packets of orchid seeds to Officer Song, and Qi Yuan continued to patrol.
"By the way, I have something to tell you. During the dark night, Jiang Run and I want to go to the base to see the situation."
If it was possible to find out who was killing the refugees, Ye Fu planned to deal with them directly, so that no other corpses would float down to pollute the air. Of course, she expressed this idea.
"You are going to the base? When?"
The base is only twenty kilometers away from here. If you drive, you can reach it in an hour and a half at the fastest.
"We'll leave shortly. Don't worry, everyone, we'll be back in ten hours at most." Ye Fu placed Gatlin at Officer Song's place.
"So fast? There are still people patrolling outside, so we should go there in a few days." Qi Yuan was still worried.
"At this time, the base guards are more relaxed and it is easier to sneak in. Don't worry, everyone, we will be back as soon as possible. After we leave, you should stop working and don't make too much noise."
Ye Fu looked at Tang Yizheng, "The safety here is left to you."
Tang Yizheng nodded, "Don't worry."
Putting on tattered cotton-padded jackets and night vision glasses, Ye Fu and Jiang Run left the wooden house. The others went to the shore. Ye Fu jumped on the raft and waved to everyone.
"Let's all go back."
Ye Fu and Jiang Run paddled the raft and disappeared on the water, finally submerged in the darkness.
"Go back, let's guard the island, they will be back soon." Wan Tao patted everyone on the shoulders and took the lead to return to the wooden house.
On the other side, after Ye Fu and Jiang Run landed, they put the raft into the space and walked quietly to the road. The road was quiet. Ye Fu released the truck that had been robbed from He Jingwen. Jiang Run drove and Ye
He opened the passenger door and got in.
The car lights came on, and Jiang Run checked the fuel tank. It was full of gasoline. He returned to the driver's seat and started to start the car.
"After arriving at Yuanhe Dam, let's get off the bus there. I'm quite interested in this place."
Jiang Run helped her put on her seat belt, "You go to sleep first, I'll call you when you get there."
Ye Fu pursed his lips and smiled, "Both of us have a very average sense of direction, and we don't know if we will get lost."
"No, trust me." Jiang Run took a blanket and put it on Ye Fu, letting her rest assured to catch up on her sleep.
Although the searchers evacuated, there were more people patrolling. Just half an hour after the car drove out, a patrolman signaled them to stop.
As soon as Jiang Run stopped the car, Ye Fu woke up.
"It's okay, you can continue to sleep." Jiang Run got out of the car to negotiate with the other party. In his hand under the blanket, Ye Fu had already loaded the bullet.
Two minutes later, Jiang Run came back and signaled them to leave. Ye Fu looked at the patrol car and the three patrol officers outside, and gathered the blanket around him.
"They didn't ask for tolls?"
Jiang Run nodded, "I hypnotized them."
Ye Fu smiled. This was indeed Jiang Run's character. He used the simplest and crudest way to solve problems. How could he have the leisure to wait for others to investigate? He was already being merciful by not killing those three people.
Ye Fu continued to catch up on his sleep, and the rest of the journey went smoothly. He didn't encounter any patrolmen again until he reached the Yuanhe Dam.
The Yuanhe Dam is actually a very large reservoir, and the electricity supply for the second base and the town depends on it.
There is a service station here, and around the reservoir are places where dandies race cars, and there are several scrapped cars parked on the road.
The service station is brightly lit, and you can even hear laughter and voices.
The Yuanhe Dam is too close to the island, and Ye Fu doesn't plan to do anything here to avoid getting into trouble.
There is a roadblock at the service station, and there are two people chatting in the guard box next to it.
Jiang Run opened the car door and walked over, knocking twice on the glass of the guard box. The other party turned to look at him, and after a few seconds he obediently raised the railing.
