Chapter 11
The shopping city where Rose High School is located is located on the eastern coast and has a typical subtropical monsoon climate, with long summers, high temperatures, and rainy weather.
By mid-May, almost everyone is already wearing short-sleeves.
Chen Mu and others had not touched a drop of water for more than a day, but they were active a lot. It is natural to be thirsty, and their bodies were also sticky and uncomfortable.
"Drink first before we talk."
After Wei Dalei pulled out the spear, he handed it back to Chen Mu, then moved away, signaling Tang Jing to drink first.
Thirst is more unbearable than hunger.
Tang Jing was no longer polite. She went up and washed her hands first, then formed her palms into a bowl shape, took the water and drank "two big bowls" of water.
Then, get out of the way.
Chen Mu and Wei Dalei stood on both sides of the water, each receiving water and drinking.
When they were almost done drinking, they both held water and washed their faces.
Wei Dalei went too far. He took off the "hula hoop" on his body, took off his shirt directly, stood underneath the mineral water bottle, let the water pour down from his head, and took a shower by the way.
"Be careful of catching a cold." Tang Jing smiled at the side.
"It's okay, it's okay, I feel full of strength now, haha..." Wei Dalei did a middle-class and exaggerated bodybuilding action, laughing while taking a shower.
Chen Mu didn't know whether enhanced strength could prevent him from getting sick, but Wei Dalei was already in poor health, and when he was a child, he often used the faucet to shower with him in the summer.
But Chen Mu himself did not dare to do this at this time. Just like Tang Jing said, if he gets sick, it will really kill him at this time.
After the two of them finished rinsing, Tang Jing also stepped forward to wash her face, took out a pack of tissues she carried with her, dipped it in water, and carefully wiped her neck, arms and other areas.
After wiping, he handed the tissue to Chen Mu and Wei Dalei and said, "Do you want it?"
"No."
The two shook their heads.
Wei Dalei was covered in water, and a pack of paper towels was of no use. He wrung out his shirt and used it as a towel, while Chen Mu just picked up the hem of his clothes and wiped them.
More and more water flows out of the mineral water bottle, like a stream on the ground, slowly flowing towards the crack of the door.
"Hurry up and get the water, or it will run out in a while."
Chen Mu quickly turned the "hula hoop" into a plastic bucket again.
Wei Dalei went up to get the water.
Because the hole is very small and the water pressure is not enough, the water flow cannot form a water column and is more like a spring. As the water level in the bottle decreases, the amount of water becomes smaller and smaller.
Fortunately, compared to this bottle of mineral water, the plastic bucket in Wei Dalei's hand was just a drop in the ocean, and it was filled the moment he put it in.
When he was about to lift it onto his shoulders, Chen Mu stopped him.
"I'll help you seal the mouth to make it easier to move."
After saying that, Chen Mu put his hands on the bucket.
In the next moment, the walls of the original bucket slowly stretched upward and gradually closed.
After a while, a closed bucket was formed.
It looks like the plastic buckets used in water dispensers, only much larger.
"This is good."
You don't have to worry about water spilling out, and it is certainly easier to carry.
Wei Dalei laughed, picked up the bucket and left.
...
...
Dong Junwei looked at the last ray of sunset shining in from the storage room window, and frowned as she looked at the gradually darkening environment around her.
On the one hand, he was unbearably thirsty, and on the other hand, he was worried that something might happen to Chen Mu and others.
If three of them were lost, the remaining people might not be able to survive until tomorrow.
While thinking wildly.
"Aren't Chen Mu and the others back yet?" Du Jiajia walked over.
Dong Junwei forced a smile: "It should be soon. Are you not asleep?" "
I fell asleep and woke up thirsty."
"There will be water to drink soon."
Although Dong Junwei has never made any No real contribution, but like a parent in the team, you have to care about everyone and deal with differences.
"What if... monitor, what if they never come back? I know it's not good to say this, but I can't help but think about it. If I don't have water to drink, I feel like I won't be able to survive tonight." Du Jiajia's voice was obviously weak. Many of them were already in a trance.
People can live without food for several days, but it is difficult to survive without drinking water for three days.
In this weather, everyone is facing another disaster, and they need to drink a lot of water.
Now I haven't drank water for more than a day and night, and I'm almost at my limit.
"It's okay. Go and get some sleep and stop talking. When Chen Mu and the others come back, I will ask you to get up and drink water." Dong Junwei comforted Du Jiajia even though her throat was burning.
"I...I'm afraid I won't wake up if I fall asleep." "
No, if they don't come back for half an hour, I'll go find water."
Of course, these words are just comfort, don't leave her alone. If you can’t find water, even if you find it, you can’t bring it back.
"Don't leave, I'm afraid..."
Du Jiajia was obviously a little confused and wanted to sleep, but she didn't dare to sleep.
Dong Junwei was also feeling very uncomfortable at this time, but she did not dare to show any weakness for fear of making others more desperate.
Seeing that Du Jiajia's eyelids had drooped and she was still refusing to sleep, she went up and held her hand. The two sat on the edge of the towel, supporting and encouraging each other.
The last ray of sunset disappeared, leaving only a glimmer of light from the newly rising moon.
The surroundings seemed to become quieter.
Dong Junwei could even hear the sounds of her classmates swallowing saliva in their sleep.
There was a shuddering sound behind him, and someone was obviously awakened by thirst again.
"Squad leader..."
Zhu Hao walked over, his voice hoarse and hoarse.
He didn't show the horns on his head. What the purpose of this ability is, I still haven't figured out yet.
Dong Junwei nodded towards him.
"Chen Mu and the others..." Zhu Hao swallowed again to make himself speak more smoothly.
Dong Junwei shook her head helplessly.
Zhu Hao didn't say anything anymore. Like Du Jiajia, he found a place to sit down.
One after another people woke up.
But when they found out that Chen Mu and the others hadn't returned yet, they were all disappointed and silent.
"They've been gone for half an hour. How about I pick them up?"
said a boy named Qian Fei.
Qian Feiren is also tall, but unlike Wei Dalei, his temperament has always been gentle, even a little cowardly. Even girls like to tease him from time to time, and he doesn't get angry.
Since the disaster, Qian Fei has been hiding among the crowd, not daring to show his face. Everyone knows his character, so they don't blame him. Besides, he has not yet awakened his powers, so he really can't be of much help.
But in the face of a desperate situation, character is no match for the desire to survive.
Qian Fei finally stood up. On the one hand, he wanted to survive. On the other hand, he felt guilty that he had not contributed so far.
However, Dong Junwei shook his head: "Don't move for now. Tang Jing said before she went that it would take about an hour for them to come back. It's only been half an hour now. If we go out rashly and miss them again on the way, it will delay things. "
Qian Fei didn't insist and sat down silently again.
About another ten minutes passed.
Dong Junwei watched helplessly as her classmates slowly staggered around, almost unconsciously lying on the towel, and her own vision began to blur.
At this moment, footsteps were heard in the distance.
