When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

Pei Chonglin saw Li Ying lost in thought as he spoke. He knew at a glance that the little hero might have some good ideas.

So, while arranging the broken hair on his temples, he asked softly: "What, Xiaoying has an idea? You might as well tell him."

Ma Fei was stunned by Pei Chonglin's move. He rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled meaningfully. It seemed that Mr. Pei had really caught up with someone this time!

The thought of gossip flashed by, and he stared at Li Ying with bright eyes: "Hey! If you have an idea, it's great! Then let's talk about it!"

"This one……"

Li Ying hesitated for a moment, not thinking about it.

"You guys talk first, and I'll think about it later."

After that, he ignored the two people's curious looks and simply found a sandbox to sit down and continue to think hard.

Ma Fei looked at Li Ying and asked Pei Chonglin in a low voice: "Can he really come up with a solution?"

After not seeing each other for a night, he felt that Li Ying had changed, but it seemed that he had not changed. The day before, he tried to ask them for help to punish Blind Feng, but now he was able to make suggestions for people's livelihood?

Pei Chonglin can probably guess what Li Ying is thinking. As long as he doesn't hurt Li Ying, he is willing to respect Li Ying's wishes.

So he replied very definitely: "Yes, just give him time."

He has seen Li Ying's ability with his own eyes. Whether he can help or how he can help is not the most important. What matters is whether Li Ying is willing to do it.

Here, Li Ying was weighing the pros and cons while digging in the sand pit unconsciously, like a playful child.

In fact, he does have a few ideas, but none of them seem to be perfect.

The first one is to let his little black cloud come out to rain and replenish water. Now that he has the support of the crystal core, he is not afraid of being temporarily consumed and overdrawn, and it should be easy to solve the immediate crisis.

But there was one thing he couldn't guarantee, and that was that the rain in the Little Black Cloud had killed many people. It was comparable to extremely corrosive acid rain and could not be easily contaminated.

The rain from Little Black Cloud is non-toxic and harmless to him. He can even drink it directly or wash his face and take a shower, but he is not sure whether others can drink it.

And he couldn't let others try it. One mistake would kill someone, so it was better not to take the risk.

Another way is to take out the crystal cores and give them to those with water powers to replenish their powers.

Human lives were at stake, so he was willing to contribute, but absorbing the crystal core would take a lot of time. Even if they could wait, the zombies couldn't wait.

They won't give people like them much time to breathe.

This method is obviously not efficient.

Moreover, it is nothing if it works once. The demand for water resources will only increase in the future. It is a bottomless pit. No matter how kind he is, he will not empty his family wealth for no reason.

Again, the end of the world is inherently cruel, and no one owes anyone anything. He must always leave a way out for himself.

The third way is to use his superpower again and set up a barrier on the edge of the desert to stop the zombies.

However, looking at the crowds around them, there are all kinds of people, men, women, old and young. Given their current state, they may not be able to reach the no man's land even if you give them three days.

No matter how many crystal cores he has to support him, he may not be able to hold on for long on his own.

If the situation is not careful and the situation gets out of control, it will be an unimaginable bloody catastrophe. No matter how confident Li Ying is, he does not dare to risk the lives of so many people.

So this method was also passed.

The last one is to send out Little Black Cloud again to hunt zombies, and maybe even harvest more crystal nuclei.

However, on the way here, Pei Chonglin told him the news that Qu Linqing had brought. The zombies were gathering in a steady stream, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat them no matter how big his appetite was.

In order to avoid the endless pursuit of zombies, the best way is to keep as much distance from them as possible.

Therefore, if you list one of the above, one will be excluded, and none of them can be achieved without any worries.

The most critical point is that Li Ying does not think that he can be the savior to save all sentient beings.

He had just gained something, and after going through twists and turns, his wish was to live well and live his own life well.

The reason why he wanted to save the siege was because he didn't want to see Pei Chonglin and Ma Fei in trouble.

But the premise is that everything must be within his ability.

As the saying goes, with greater ability comes greater responsibility, but Li Ying felt that he didn't have the ability to take on any important responsibilities.

"Hey! Lack of water! Lack of water!"

Li Ying thought a little irritably, clasped his hands on the sand, and dug a few handfuls of sand.

When they turned around, Pei Chonglin and Ma Fei were already surrounded by many people.

When they came up, they were all asking for water.

"Young master, please give me a drink. I came out too quickly and didn't get much out at all!"

"Yes! We can all tolerate it, but the children at home are too young and can't bear it. Children are the future of the country, so let's give them some preferential treatment!"

"Sir! You must be that Mr. Qingtian! Oh! Help! My mother is digging a hole to bury herself. She can't walk anymore and doesn't want to drag us down. What can we do!"

"Didn't you say there is an oasis in the desert? Did the team leading the way find an oasis?"

……

Faced with everyone's intensive questions, Ma Fei listened to them one after another. The problems were all before his eyes, but there was nothing he could do!

However, in order to calm people's hearts, he adjusted his clothes and spoke solemnly:

"Difficulties must exist, but don't lose heart, everyone. The water superpowers are already working hard to provide water. All you have to do now is to conserve your strength and regain your confidence!"

Thinking of something, he took the opportunity to reiterate the situation at hand:

"Also, I believe everyone has heard the announcement. The zombies near Fancheng have become active again. This is not a place to stay for a long time. After a short rest, everyone still has to speed up!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there were cries.

"Ouch! I can't run!"

"Yes! No one wants to die. We are just asking you for help because we are anxious."

"Sir, there are too few people with water powers. The water we received is simply not enough to solve the problem!"

"It's over! Woohoo! I'll either die of thirst or be bitten to death by zombies. Anyway, I'll die sooner or later. I, I'll dig a hole and bury myself now!"

"Hey! If you dig the hole deeper, you shouldn't be able to find the zombies. Maybe you can still leave a whole corpse, which is not bad!"

Someone even spotted Li Ying digging a sand pit with sharp eyes. He stood on tiptoes and raised his hand to point far away:

"Sir, it's not that we are not active, the situation is really pressing. Take a look, isn't that young man over there just digging a hole? Whoever strikes first can seize a geomantic treasure, right?"

Li Ying, who was digging a hole with both hands, suddenly felt that countless pairs of eyes were looking at him in an instant. He screamed silently in his heart, what kind of eyes were there? He looked like he was digging a grave for himself!

He looked at Pei Chonglin speechlessly, and saw that he was looking at him with a smile on his lips. He probably thought it was very funny!

Why! Why is he playing in the sand...
