Nangong Wuyue frowned: "The water in other places is not normal? Then it seems that there is indeed a problem."
Hao Ren didn't understand what was going on: "Huh? What did you find?"
"It started two or three days ago. People around our house always said that the tap water was not normal. There was even a situation where one family had three water pipes, one of which had no water and the other two had water. Old Li's family on the street also said that their family was washing vegetables.
"When I was there, I saw with my own eyes that half of the water that had flowed out of the water pipe was suddenly taken back, which scared their old lady." Nangong Wuyue was sitting on the sofa and playing with Doudou while talking about the past two days.
From what I hear from outside, she is a well-behaved and lovable girl. Her years of wandering have given her a high affinity, and she is already familiar with many people on this street. "But not every household has problems.
In addition, pumping stations in the suburbs occasionally have problems, so it hasn't been spread too mysteriously yet."
Hao Ren didn't expect that there were so many abnormalities in this matter. After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong: "There is no problem with our water."
"Yes, because I forced the water to be pumped." The siren girl waved her hand and created a small water ball in mid-air. Doudou immediately jumped into it happily and started swimming. "Our family has been without water for two days, and I have been forcing it for the past two days."
Water supply.”
Hao Ren touched his chin: "It seems to be a supernatural phenomenon. Who will follow me to the water pumping station to have a look?"
Lily had also just come back from outside. At this time, she was lying on the sofa boredly watching an advertisement for dog biscuits: "It's boring... I am already a person who saves the world, why do I still have to work on such things... I want to
watch TV."
"I'll go with the landlord." Vivian wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen. She took off her apron and looked at Lily, "You have so little life experience. As an alien, you don't know how to be aware of all the supernatural phenomena around your territory.
Should you be more vigilant? Even if it's not a demon hunter, it could be some other species. It's also a canine. It has such a weak sense of territory..."
Lily suddenly reacted as soon as Vivian said the words "territorial consciousness" and jumped from the sofa to the ground: "I'll follow! I didn't realize that this has something to do with territory!"
Hao Ren opened his mouth without a door, and his brain jumped out: "You can't remember that it's your own territory if you haven't peed, right?"
Of course. He was slapped in the face by Lily on the spot, and within a few minutes, his arms were all bitten with teeth marks. After many attempts, the dog girl finally found the middle amount that could leave teeth marks without triggering the rigid shield.
.
Hao Ren escaped from Lily's mouth in disgrace. No one around him came to help. Even Vivian shook her head in confusion: "Landlord, can you just say this to a girl... Not even females?
.”
Nangong Wuyue stepped forward and patted Hao Ren on the shoulder: "Landlord, please listen to my advice. Your mouth will only last two episodes in the TV series at most. Please change it."
Hao Ren: "..."
Lily grinned and showed her power to Hao Ren for a long time before she hummed and came up to lick the teeth marks she had made. This meant that this small punishment was over, while Hao Ren pushed away the silly cat that kept coming to make trouble.
While driving, he looked around: "So, who else is going to the pumping station with me?"
Nangong Wuyue pulled her brother up smoothly: "Let me and my brother accompany you. I am familiar with the water, and my brother at least has more experience in investigation."
The group of people then left home and headed to the only water pumping station in the southern suburbs. The water pumping station is still in the north of the city, but it is not too far from where everyone lives. It only takes ten minutes to drive there.
Please don't forget that Hao Ren also has a car now.
Speaking of water pumping stations, Hao Ren was also familiar with them: Since the southern suburbs are far away from the city and all facilities are relatively backward, the pressure in the water supply network has become a persistent problem. Ten years ago, people here reported this several times.
The water company only set up a pumping station to pressurize the pipe network. Hao Ren still remembered that when he was in middle school, he liked to sneak to the pumping station to play, lying next to the window of the large red brick and cement machine room.
Watch the water pump inside roaring and running, and then compete with the dogs guarding the yard. It was really a period of green years when white clothes were like snow and came and went like wind. The young man who was destined to embark on an uneven road in the future was tempered by vicious dogs.
He set up great ambitions - his biggest wish at the time was to beat the dog in the yard once...
Now that only one of the old watchdogs in the compound has died of old age, there is no need to look forward to his wish.
The water pumping station is surrounded by a brick wall, and the large iron door is half open and half closed. From the outside, you can occasionally hear the rumbling sound in the machine room inside. Hao Ren parked the car in the open space outside the yard and just led people to the door.
Then I heard a dog barking from the courtyard. Several chained black backs rushed out from the thorns and pulled their bodies hard to demonstrate against the intruders. Their power was exactly the same as their predecessors. Seeing this situation, Hao Ren laughed and cursed:
"You're really a bitch, you dads wouldn't dare to call me like that when you see me!"
When Lily heard this, she barked at the leading black man a few times, then turned around to try to discredit Hao Ren: "They said that you were chased all over the yard by their uncles, and you once reached the old jujube tree in the yard.
I didn’t come down for the first half of the day.”
Hao Ren: "... Damn it, I forgot that there is someone here who understands foreign languages!"
At this time, an imposing old black dog wandered over from the yard. When he saw Hao Ren, he gave a few symbolic barks. He seemed to still remember the dog who always leaned on the wall and threw stones into the yard ten years ago.
Hao Ren lamented the passage of time and saw someone finally heard the noise and came out of the pump room. It was a young man with a crew cut, who should be in charge of the machinery in the pump room.
"Which one are you looking for?" the young man asked fiercely, then turned around and scolded a few dogs, "Go back! What are you talking about!"
"I'm from the street nearby. Why haven't I been getting water normally these past two days?" Hao Ren stepped forward and asked with a smile.
People in the city may not adapt to this kind of living habits in remote suburbs. However, people in the southern suburbs are always used to asking their "work units" directly if they have any problems. If the water is cut off, go to the pumping station, if the heating is not hot, go to the boiler room, if there is a power outage, go directly to the "work unit".
When you go to the substation to ask the master about the situation, both the inquirer and the person being inquired will take it for granted. This is the unique "community ecology" of a backward suburb without property and various "substation points".
Probably because people have been coming to inquire about this matter in the past two days, the young man looked a little impatient and confused: "The water pressure at the water tower is not normal, and there is nothing I can do. The superiors have already sent for experts, you go home.
Wait, then."
Hao Ren chatted with the young man at the pump station for a while. In the middle, Nangong Wuyue pretended to be curious and walked a few steps towards the yard, listening intently to the sounds inside. Seeing this, the young man quickly reminded: "Don't enter the yard.
, there is a dog inside, and the chain is very long.”
He didn't realize that after Lily raised her head and glanced into the yard, those ferocious black-backs had already knelt down respectfully like their ancestors.
At this time, suddenly there was a creaking sound from the machine room in the yard, and then someone vaguely shouted hello. The young man quickly turned back and ran: "There is something wrong with the turbine again. I will go back and look at it. You guys go home and wait."
Bar."
After the young man ran away, Hao Ren looked at Nangong Wuyue: "How is it? What is there?"
"The water is abnormal," the siren girl pointed to the corner of the outer wall of the yard, "the situation here is obviously supernatural."
Hao Ren looked in the direction of Nangong Wuyue's finger and was surprised to find a trickle flowing on the wet cement wall. What was unbelievable was that this trickle was moving upwards along the wall!
Lily sniffed: "I feel like there's something wrong with the air humidity here... Some places are very dry, and some places are as humid as in front of the waterfall. There seems to be a lot of moisture in the air."
"Is he a member of your race?" Hao Ren suddenly thought of the sea monster's ability to control water. He turned to look at May, "Can the sea monster sense its members?"
"Yes, but you have to be close enough. And since humans added bleach to tap water, this kind of sensing talent is not very useful in residential areas. I can only try my best." Nangong Wuyue frowned and sensed
Looking at the flow direction of abnormal water elements in the air, we found that all abnormal water vapor is concentrated in a certain place.
She looked up and saw there was a water tower a hundred meters away.
Others could not see anything unusual about the water tower, but in Nangong Wuyue's eyes, the water tower was surrounded by thin lines, and countless water molecules that had broken away from the laws of nature were floating nearby.
It seems that the young man at the pump station just said that the most abnormal water pressure is in the water tower. (To be continued)
