Starting from the Red Moon

Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Under the Red Moon



Lu Xin really learned a lot on this day.

He stood there and watched for less than half an hour. There was a rumble of cars. One after another, large trucks drove into the desolate factory area. Some set up temporary lighting equipment, some carried water pumps, and some pulled bundles of plastic pipes. Then, groups of team members in protective clothing got off the trucks and quickly set up the water pumps and extended the pipes into the lake.

At the same time, on the other side, there were already seven or eight teams of people waving shovels to dig pits and dig channels to divert water.

They had obviously calculated that they wanted to divert the lake water to another depression near Fu.

In addition, military vehicles drove in from a distance, one by one, forming a row. The fully armed soldiers used the vehicles as cover to cordon off the entire area. The desolate abandoned factory area soon became very lively.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Dozens of water pumps worked at the same time, and the water level in the small lake was dropping rapidly.

Seeing this big battle, Lu Xin and Qin Ran couldn't help swallowing their saliva: "Awesome!"

"Dealing with mental pollution incidents is an extremely dangerous job, and if it is not handled properly, it will not only be dangerous for yourself, but it may also cause immeasurable disasters. Therefore, in our work, we must always follow two principles!"

Chen Jing said to Lu Xin calmly in the channel: "First, if it can be solved with material resources, use material resources!"

"Second, if it can be covered with firepower, use firepower!"

"..."

Lu Xin listened to this and sighed for a while before answering: "Collective power..."

...

"Almost, the support team retreats, the investigation team starts working, and be ready to cover with firepower at any time!"

When the water level dropped to more than half, Chen Jing had already issued an order again.

All the support personnel immediately retreated to a distance, without even driving the car, and some even didn't even take a shovel.

In the entire area, Lu Xin and Qin Ran, three members of the investigation team, and his sister were left immediately.

The only difference is that there are rows of armed cordons and curious and vigilant eyes in the distance.

"After the lake is drained, you guys will still need to conduct the investigation!"

Chen Jing said in the headset: "It is still impossible to determine whether this pollution source is highly contagious or low infectivity."

"Although the current data shows that low infectivity is more likely, this kind of weird event often has some sudden changes that people cannot understand. We have to be careful. If it is low in pollution, it is fine. But when we encounter a high pollution source, if we send too many people to approach, it may provide it with pollution receptors, causing a greater disaster!"

Listening to her words, Lu Xin suddenly understood.

The row of armed personnel outside is not just guarding against the possible spiritual monsters at the bottom of the lake.

At the same time, they are also alerting themselves and the members of the investigation team.

If they and the members of the investigation team are contaminated, they will shoot themselves without mercy.

"Now I understand why the reward is so high..."

He muttered in a low voice.

Chen Jing in the channel listened and suddenly smiled: "Your work attitude is still good. I will help you apply for additional rewards!"

Lu Xin's mood suddenly improved a lot.

...

...

Soon, the lake water was almost drained. Under the pale light, you can see the silt at the bottom of the lake and the scattered small puddles. There are also many fish and shrimps struggling to open and close their gills, jumping hard in the silt under the light.

"Okay!"

The members of the investigation team put on helmets and cast inquiring eyes at Lu Xin.

"I don't need it!"

Lu Xin waved his hand.

Chen Jing once told me that one of the advantages of mental mutations is that they are not so easy to be contaminated. In addition to this reason, there is another reason, that is, I seem to be able to see the real bodies of those mental monsters, so if I wear a helmet, it is easy to block my vision, but it is more difficult to see those monsters clearly and dodge their attacks.

Of course, he had his considerations, but this behavior seemed even more mysterious to the investigation team.

"Is this the mutant?"

They thought to themselves.

Although as members of the investigation team, they also knew that there were several people with special abilities in Qinggang City, this was their first cooperation.

A long time ago, especially before the mental mutants were discovered and recruited.

The investigation of the source of mental pollution was mostly filled with their lives...

...

...

Setting up the monitoring device and holding the gun, Lu Xin and several members of the investigation team slowly walked into the muddy lake bottom.

The silver monitoring device was steadily lit with a reassuring green light under the light.

They were probing forward bit by bit, and it seemed like they were advancing step by step, but in Lu Xin's eyes, his sister was running on the mud. She was still very fast, running here and there to look. Under the moonlight, her small body drew a faint, blurred shadow, and wherever she passed, no trace was left on the soft mud.

At the end, she seemed to have confirmed something, suddenly stopped, raised her hand, and pointed to a place in the center of the lake.

Lu Xin pretended not to see his sister, but was deliberately leading the members of the investigation team to the center of the lake.

From a distance, they had seen a small puddle in the center of the lake.

At this time, his sister was seven or eight meters away from the puddle, pointing with her hand.

Lu Xin and the investigation team members also slowly approached here, and suddenly, the light on the monitor turned red.

At the same time, there was an extremely subtle voice: "Qin Ran, you killed me..."

"What voice?"

Lu Xin and the three members of the investigation team all stopped their steps suddenly.

In an instant, there was a feeling of hair standing up.

That subtle voice was still coming out faintly: "Qin Ran, you killed me, I want you to pay with your life..."

"It... it... it..."

As the voice sounded, a member of the investigation team suddenly shouted in a trembling voice, pointing to a certain place.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw a palm-sized crucian carp lying on the mud at the bottom of the lake. It was lying on the wet mud at this time. It was opening and closing its mouth because it couldn't breathe, and a thin voice came out of its mouth.

"Qin Ran, you killed me..."

The light from the high-profile lamp on the lakeside shone on the fish, which was pale and weird.

Its pair of dark eyes stared at the direction of Qin Ran on the shore, and it was shouting loudly.

I don't know if it was an illusion or reality. At this moment, the red moon in the sky seemed particularly bright.

The dark red light sprinkled on everyone's head.

Suddenly, another voice joined in and shouted with it: "Qin Ran killed me, and you have to pay with your life..."

Lu Xin and others looked around quickly, and then followed the sound to see another fish struggling on the mud.

"Qin Ran, you killed me..."

"I have no grudges against you, why did you kill me..."

Soon, a third voice sounded, overlapping with the others.

Then, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

More and more fish began to open their mouths, and the sounds overlapped, making the sound louder and louder. By the end, it was deafening, and gradually became uniform. Lu Xin and the others felt that they had seen an extremely crazy scene:

Under the red moon, all the fish were screaming desperately, making the kind of shrill screams that made people's heads split:

"Qin Ran hurt me, killing someone means paying with his life..."

"Qin Ran hurt me, killing someone means paying with his life..."

"Qin Ran hurt me, killing someone means paying with his life..."
