I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

The noise of the water pump covered up Lu Yao's footsteps. Lu Yao avoided the two people's sight, ran quickly past them, and ran straight out the door.

Then, he took out a flash lighter, lit it, and threw it back to where he was just now. Then, as soon as he went out, he made a phone call: "Officer Shen, I want to call the police!"

The series of actions were done smoothly, and even most of the thinking time was omitted.

The police should be sent out in the middle of the night unless it is a public security case.

However, although these two people are suspected of attempted murder, they are more involved in economic cases. Once it involves economic cases, the procedures for police dispatch are particularly cumbersome. Lu Yao dare not bet that they can dispatch police quickly, so the best way is to directly find acquaintances.

Fortunately, Lu Yao had exchanged phone numbers with Shen Yucheng during the day, so he found it easily and dialed the number quickly.

Soon, Shen Yucheng also responded and answered Lu Yao's call. After Lu Yao's detailed description, Shen Yucheng also went out.

"I understand, Mr. Lu, you should get out of the water plant right now and don't negotiate with them. We will be here soon."

Hearing this, Lu Yao also responded: "Okay. I'll be out right away, hurry up! There are surveillance cameras in the factory, and if it's too late, I'm afraid they will dispose of all the evidence."

Although Lu Yao hung up the phone calmly, her fingers were shaking. Shen Yucheng didn't even need to tell her to run away, she would run away on her own. If she didn't run, she would die!

This is the first time in my life that I have really run for my life!

Just as she ran to the gate, Lu Yao stopped. The gate was actually locked. She looked behind her and without hesitation, she stepped directly onto the gate railing and climbed up.

Just after he climbed two steps, suddenly, "Whoa!" Lu Yao stepped on empty air.

Her calf seemed to be pulled by something.

Lu Yao was startled and turned back suddenly...

Could it be that these two people caught up with us?

However, at this moment, all the buildings in the water plant behind him were pitch black. Not to mention human figures, there was not even any sound. It seemed as if there were pairs of eyes hidden in each window.

Her back was already wet from running just now. A cool breeze suddenly blew up from her heels to her back, and the chill hit her so hard that she shivered.

Lu Yao slowly lowered her head, and a tattered padlock and chain appeared under her feet, as if this was the thing that had just pulled her.

"What is this telling me?"

Lu Yao calmed down a bit after feeling the cool breeze that penetrated her heart. She remembered that the cause of the low water pressure at the water plant seemed to have been found, but not completely.

If it is said that the water could not be pumped up because Tu Sheng stole electricity and shut down the pump room, it has been two months since Tu Sheng stole electricity, and the low water pressure did occur within a week.

Therefore, low water pressure is not entirely a problem with the water pump. Even if it is, there is still a contributing factor.

If she ran away now, the water plant would not be able to unlock the door and she would die if she got out.

"Damn system!" Lu Yao cursed and had to jump down again. She was now at a dead end, with wolves in front and tigers behind.

Helplessly jumping back to the ground, she picked up the lock on the ground and took a closer look. It was rusty and the length of the chain was similar to the chain on the pump room door just now.

"Could this be the lock from before?"

As he was thinking, Lu Yao's breathing stagnated, and the hand holding the chain began to tremble slightly...

This... there are still traces of blood on this rusty lock, as if it was strangled by a person's neck, leaving blood marks.

Therefore, this is probably not just an economic case, but also a murder case!

Looking back, the water pressure was too low, the water quality was too mixed, and the papaya cooler made with tap water went bad and smelled bad in just two hours, with sediment accumulating, all of which indicated that there was something wrong with the water.

But why is water a problem?

When Lu Yao thought of this, he filtered through the map he had memorized at Xiong Jianghe's house in his mind, took the iron lock, hid it in the grass nearby, and then ran towards the water tower of the clear water pool.

"That's right! It's impossible to directly supply all the tap water filtered every day to the city. It needs to pass through the water storage equipment. If there is something blocking it, coupled with the problem of the water pump, it will inevitably lead to low water pressure and mixed water quality!"

While Lu Yao was running, her cell phone had already been put into her bag. At this time, the only thing in the live broadcast room was the shaking picture.

But just when Lu Yao was observing the padlock, the obvious raw black blood stains were seen by everyone, not to mention that when he was in the pump room, Lu Yao was still broadcasting live on the screen.

Therefore, even though there was no picture at this time, people in the live broadcast room were extremely excited.

Shy Straight Man: [Fuck! My chief is really reckless. Someone was about to kill her, but he turned back to find out the truth about the blood on the padlock! ]

Passerby A: [When those two men appeared just now, I was worried about the anchor. ]

I signed a pledge with the gods, and the gods gave me a big bag: [The ape is mighty! ]

Passerby B: [I’m so scared. Whose blood is that? ]

I am serious about metaphysics: [Did you notice two things just now, the water pump machine that sounded inexplicably, and the ape leader's legs being dragged? ! ]

Passerby C: [The truth is revealed above! I also noticed that there is something else here. ]

Passerby B: [It's getting more and more scary. What else could it be besides a murderer? ]

The male protagonist who has always been ignored: [Do you think this game is a little too real? 】

Lu Yao didn't have time to watch the content in the live broadcast room. She had to race against time. Although the water plant was quite large and it would not be easy for the two men to find her, if she could find the real reason as soon as possible, she could find a place to hide and wait for police rescue.

And speaking of police rescue, if they arrived too quickly and she hadn't found the cause yet, they would inevitably be under police control and she wouldn't be able to investigate further.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, she went straight to the water storage room and raced against time to get another hairpin to unlock it.

Fortunately, she was too rebellious when she was a child and was locked up in a small dark room for a long time, which helped her develop the skill of unlocking locks. Now it seems that she can be grateful to that annoying Mr. Lu.

After opening the lock of the water storage room, Lu Yao rushed in. To prevent being discovered again, she decisively closed the door after entering and found a bolt to fasten it.

The first floor of the water storage room is an office, which is filled with some documents.

Lu Yao took out his cell phone again and shone it at the stairs leading upstairs. The stairs were made of wrought iron and were very old. There was also a freight elevator opposite, flashing a red light.

"Is there still electricity here?" Every factory has its own emergency generator for power outages. Presumably, the only power supplied by the generator is supplied to the water storage room.

Lu Yao glanced at the elevator opposite and did not choose to go in. Instead, he walked up the stairs on the side.

Although the stairs are a bit old, they are relatively safe for her, and it is easy to escape in a place with high freedom.

Slowly walking up the stairs, Lu Yao arrived at the arranged water towers.
