The heavy rain lasted for a whole day and night, and it had not stopped by noon on the tenth day.

The Internet connection was spotty, so Sheh kept turning on the TV to listen to the sound.

"The heavy rain has caused waterlogging in the eastern region. The relevant departments are actively dealing with it. Before the water level drops, please try not to go out to avoid injury and infection."

She changed the channel and found that except for the Blue Island TV station, all other channels were full of snow.

It turns out that the reason why we don’t change channels before the time is up is because we can only watch the news.

Sheh held down the remote control and changed the channel back. An outdoor host appeared on TV. She was wearing a raincoat and her hair was flying in the strong wind.

The background is yellow-gray dirty water with a lot of garbage floating on it. A rescue team is riding on a speedboat to deliver biscuits and water to residents in the buildings on both sides.

The photographer specially gave a close-up of the lower left corner of the female host.

It was a golden water spaniel tied to a tree. The water line was very high. It kept swimming in circles around the tree, and its head would sink from time to time. It was obvious that it was exhausted.

A team member wearing a life jacket jumped into the water, swam over to untie the rope, picked up the dog and put it on the speedboat.

"The deepest water level in the eastern region has exceeded 1.8 meters. People trapped please do not go out. We will deliver food and drinking water."

The female host grabbed her raincoat and hat and said, "In addition, the western region will also start distributing relief supplies in the following areas at 2 pm. Citizens are requested to take precautions and receive them in an orderly manner."

Sheh turned around and asked Shi Jinzhe who was preparing the self-heating rice, "Would you like to get one? I just saw the logo of the Azure Company on the water bottle that was distributed."

"Yes," he said, turning his back to the TV and occasionally looking back.

He mentally extracted the location closest to the apartment and said, "I'll pick it up this afternoon."

After lunch, Shi Jinzhe took the props and went to 504 to put on a disposable protective suit, goggles and two layers of masks.

He warned Sheh, "I'm very conspicuous, and some players will definitely notice me. You guard this place well."

The danger has officially emerged. Players and the natives of the copy world will soon be distinguished, and exposure is only a matter of time.

Before, he would have been a coward, but with Shekh here, he felt he could be bolder.

"This is for you." The little poisonous snake came out from Shekh's sleeve.

The little snake folded its body as it climbed up, slipped into the tightly tied cuff of his protective suit, and landed in the right pocket of his clothes.

At the end of the time, he said thank you with his body stiff.

"You're welcome. Just keep it safe and don't come back if it gets hurt."

Shi Jinzhe agreed, thinking that the probability of him getting hurt was much greater than that of the snake.

.

The western highlands have not been flooded yet, but some low-lying areas have pools of water, making it difficult to travel.

When Shi Jinzhe arrived at the pick-up location, there were already quite a few people gathered there, some of them were dressed even more exaggeratedly than him.

I don’t know whether these are residents with a strong sense of crisis or more “high-profile” players.

When it was his turn, the team member in the car glanced at Shi Jinzhe's stiffly supported right arm and asked, "Don't you have anyone else at home? Can you take these after you just removed the splint?"

"Can you...give it to me."

Under the suspicious eyes of his teammates, he took a box of water and four packs of instant noodles with one hand.

There was nothing unusual on the way back, and Shi Jinzhe returned to the apartment safely.

The security door of 504 was opened from the inside. After he went in, he used a lighter to burn the protective suit, then disinfected the entire suit before closing the door and returning to 505.

The little snake crawled out of his pocket and found a place to curl up and sleep.

Shi Jinzhe asked Sheh, "Do you need to disinfect the door you just opened with the snake's tail?"

"It wasn't me," Sheh said, lying on the bed, pointing to the ceiling, "Little Black is up there, it opened it."

"Xiao Hei...?"

"It was the little black snake from that day."

Shi Jinzhe doubted his life for a moment. Could she be talking about the giant black python that fell from the ceiling and knocked someone down that day?

He asked politely, "How long has it been here?"

"It's always there, but it doesn't like people, so it just wants to stay in the ceiling."

Shi Jinzhe breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the snake profusely in his heart. Fortunately, the snake didn't like humans, otherwise it would be at the bottom of the food chain in the entire room.

He held the instant noodles and water he brought back in front of him and said, "Smell it and see if there's anything special."

Shekh opened a pack of instant noodles and sniffed at the opening, "This is normal, no problem."

After checking the instant noodles, she unscrewed a bottle of water, smelled it for a few seconds, then put the bottle mouth closer to herself and kept spitting out the liquid.

Sheh tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that sea water can't be drunk? This place smells like sea water, and there is a very faint fishy smell."

"With desalination technology, we can separate seawater into pure water and drink it."

"So Azure used desalinated seawater, and this water is no different from diluted poison."

"That should be the case." Shi Jinzhe took the water away, "And judging from Wei Lan's level of security, I tend to think they knew about this on purpose."

He walked to the window and took out the telescope. "Let's wait a few more days. There are many inexperienced players in this game. They can't wait to take the initiative to explore the way."

Sheh nodded in agreement.

at night.

The heavy rain stopped and footsteps were heard in the silent corridor.

Shekh opened her eyes and listened for a while, the footsteps were so light that she had trouble hearing them.

After trying to identify for a few minutes, Sheh discovered that the person had gone up to the sixth floor. She instructed Xiao Hei to check the situation, and then fell asleep again.

The next morning, she told Shi Jinzhe about it.

"They may have used props. They were two very strong men with a dog. It was so silent that only props could have done it."

Shi Jinzhe heard this and said, "It seems that there are players who choose to observe the blue here just like us."

It is still not easy to fool these old players. Everyone can smell the fishy odor now. With the rain, coupled with the spread of mosquitoes, the possibility of a snake infestation is self-defeating.

"Let's eat first. If they don't do anything, just be on guard."

"it is good."

While eating breakfast, Sheh still sat by the window and counted people, "There are fewer people who didn't go out today."

"Even in such a situation, they still have to go to work. It's not easy for these people."

"A low-level worker."

Shi Jinzhe laughed: "Where did you learn that? I didn't teach you that word."

"He said so himself." Shekh raised his chin toward the outside. "Look at the man downstairs with the rash. He said so."

When the time was up and I looked down, I saw the man holding a bottle of blue water that he had distributed yesterday, scratching his body as he walked.

He wanted to take a closer look, but a rope appeared in the corner of his eye.

There was a cage hanging on a rope hanging from the sixth floor, with a puppy inside.

As the rope dropped, the two saw clearly that the water bottle on the dog cage's water dispenser was exactly Wei Lanfa's desalinated drinking water.

The dog cage was placed downstairs without any protection and completely exposed to the air.

The puppy inside was shivering and kept licking the water bottle. After drinking, it licked the rain water in the puddle.

"It's the puppy brought by those two men." Sheh thought of the golden retriever that was rescued yesterday. Compared to the puppy used by the player for experiments, the golden retriever was much luckier.

Downstairs, a young man who was walking out of an apartment building passed by a dog cage and wanted to play with the puppy. Unexpectedly, the dog in the cage growled, pounced on him, and knocked over the cage.

Sheh withdrew his hand with regret. The dog was not big and had drunk so much water, so its attack was too fast and there was no way to save it.

Shi Jinzhe sat opposite her and looked at her quietly: "Compared to the natives, we players may not be so good."

"As long as you are willing to bear the consequences of selfishness and self-interest, it will be fine."

Sheh turned his head and looked him in the eye: "In fact, the fact that you can think this way is better than many humans."
