When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

Within one day, great news came twice in succession. Following the water source in the west, a new water source was discovered near the base of the Flame Mountain.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation.

The discovery of one water source has been defined as an incredible miracle, and the emergence of the second water source has undoubtedly become the focus of heated discussion.

The most critical issue is that it was the same person who discovered the water source.

For the first time, everyone can rely on luck. By chance, someone accidentally dug up an underground water source that had been hidden in the desert for a long time.

But this second time, no one could say such a thing. That person was not a lucky boy chosen by heaven. How did he get so much good luck?

And after all, this is a desert that is dry and short of water, so how could there be so many hidden underground water sources?

Anyone with a discerning eye can guess right away. It's probably not because he's lucky, but because he might have some amazing ability to find water.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone from the Imperial Capital team to stand up and declare that the discoverer of the water source was indeed a person with special attributes, and his identity was not simple. He was the partner of the team leader.

There is no detailed explanation as to what the special ability is. It only allows those escapees who are really short of water to receive water as needed according to the requirements of the army.

At this point, not only Li Ying's camels were able to drink enough water, but also more people were saved from water shortage.

For a time, people in the deep desert saw hope of persevering. Just as they fell into despair, someone pulled them out of the quagmire.

Isn't this what gods come down to earth to save all living beings?

As a result, many people knelt down and thanked him near the water source. Although they didn't know who the superpower was, they were absolutely grateful.

Because they know very well that this is the first step in crossing the desert. There will be a lot of water later, and they may have to rely on other people's powers to find water sources in the future.

As for the existing water superpowers, they are also grateful, but after all, they are worried that they will be drained of their superpowers and have no time to care for themselves, so naturally they don't place much hope.

……

After arranging the water source matter, Pei Chonglin took Li Ying and rushed to the no man's land.

On the way, Li Ying complained to Pei Chonglin while eating snacks: "Actually, there is no need to say that I found all those water sources. It is enough for the camels to have water to drink."

He didn't expect that all his thoughts would be heard by Pei Chonglin, so during the handover, this man specially emphasized to his subordinates that he was the discoverer.

Just report him as his partner.

Li Ying did not forget the expression on his subordinate's face after hearing this. He was so shocked that his facial features felt like he was leaving home.

Thinking about it, he can understand the other party. After all, the identity of the eldest son of the Pei family is too special. He was a single man the night before, but this time he brought a man back from outside.

What does the companionship of the eldest son of the Pei family mean? He is the young lady of the Pei family!

The eldest young master not only admitted that he was no longer single, but also directly identified him as his partner with whom he had just established a relationship. Not only was it surprising to others, but even Li Ying himself felt that the progress was too fast.

Even though they didn't get along well with each other, he just stepped into the door of the Pei family, right?

The smile on Pei Chonglin's lips could not be suppressed. He gave Li Ying a comforting look:

"It doesn't matter, I didn't let anyone mention your name."

After hearing this, Li Ying rolled his eyes speechlessly: "You didn't mention it, but what happened to the leader's partner!"

The leader of the imperial team is the eldest son of the Pei family. This matter is well known to everyone. Even if Pei Chonglin doesn't tell him now, based on his current relationship with Pei Chonglin, it will not be difficult for others to know.

Ouch! He still felt that it was too fast and he was not prepared at all.

Pei Chonglin got the advantage and behaved well. He did not regret his decision. Instead, he raised his brows proudly and said: "Give them some room to imagine."

Then, he held Li Ying's hand with one hand and assured Li Ying quite seriously:

"Xiao Ying, when the time comes, the first thing I have to do is to announce our relationship to everyone. Then they will know who the young master of the Pei family and the young lady of the Pei family are. Now they have to feel aggrieved. is you."

He knew that Li Ying now definitely deserved the title of savior hero. The two water sources had solved the plight of countless people. This contribution was so great that he deserved to be famous all over the world.

However, the situation at hand is too serious. There are zombies outside and a mixed crowd inside. At this critical moment of severe water shortage, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will appear.

He doesn't want to directly expose Li Ying to others. Currently, only a few people close to him know about his relationship with Li Ying.

Just consider it a matter of suspense who the true partner of the eldest son of the Pei family is.

Sooner or later others would figure it out, but until then, his Xiaoying would be safe enough.

When they successfully get out of the no-man's land or successfully cross the desert, he will make all those who have been favored by Li Ying remember the name Li Ying.

Li Ying was a little touched when she saw what he said seriously. He was not a person who cared about gains and losses, but he would not let down Pei Chonglin's good intentions.

"I have nothing to feel wronged about. In this case, let nature take its course."

It's just a half-truth and half-false news. It can not only explain the origin of the water source, but also clarify the identity of the discoverer, so that people don't dare to have any ideas about him.

It seems that Pei Chonglin was thinking about him.

Pei Chonglin still felt that his decision was not what Li Ying wanted. He held Li Ying's hand tightly and comforted him with Wen Yan:

"Xiaoying, don't think too much. It's your contribution that won't be buried again and again. I know your worries and don't want to attract too much attention. Don't worry!

This is a good thing and should be known to everyone, otherwise they will not know who to be grateful to after drinking your water. Over time, it will make them take it for granted and become less and less concerned.

You know, not everyone is worthy of drinking your spiritual spring water. If I put a name out there, it will always make them aware that the Pei family's kindness is not in vain. "

After hearing what he said, Li Ying had no intention of complaining anymore. He lowered his head and looked at his hand that was holding the dried sweet potato but was tightly held by Pei Chonglin, and begged helplessly:

"Ouch! Okay, the more you talk about it, the more complicated it becomes. I have no objection. I just listen to you!"

Okay, he can continue to eat.

Pei Chonglin didn't intend to spare him. He raised his eyebrows and raised his tone: "Xiaoying, do you think I'm verbose?"

"No." Li Ying shook his head like a rattle.

"Ah That's good."

Pei Chonglin let go of his hand after hearing the satisfactory answer. He looked at the place where the crowd gathered in front of him and said leisurely: "Some things won't take too long, Xiaoying. Once we pass the no-man's land, we will speed up. Then return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible."

Li Ying was confused: "Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"

Pei Chonglin looked forward and said firmly: "Of course I'm anxious."

After a pause, he continued: "Xiaoying, I'm anxious to take you to see my parents. I want them to see how beautiful and amazing a daughter-in-law I brought them!"

Li Ying: ...The male daughter-in-law, are you sure this person won't scare his parents?
