Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

Hearing the noise, Sean and the others immediately stopped playing and quickly gathered around.

Inside the house, Vincent's face flushed red. "Mom, Mom, today in the sewer near the cliff, at the big sewer blocked by iron pillars, I saw a strange fish! It was so big, and it kept biting the railings, as if it wanted to rush out and bite me!"

As the little fellow spoke, he tried hard to gesture the size of the strange fish.

Jody was startled at first, and quickly put down her work and carefully checked whether Vincent was injured. After confirming that he was fine, she confirmed again: "Vincent, did you see it wrong? Can you describe the appearance of the strange fish to me in detail?"

Children are naturally imaginative, so Jodi uses detailed descriptions to determine whether her children are engaging in fictitious behavior.

"Sewer? Could it be the same one I encountered last time?"

At this time Sean also rushed over. Hearing Vincent's words, he frowned, talked to himself and fell into deep thought.

"Sean, what do you know?" When everyone present heard Sean's words, their eyes were all focused on him.

"It's like this," Sean cleared his throat and organized his words.

"Demetrius asked me to investigate the deterioration of the ecological environment of the sturgeon population due to pollution. At that time, I encountered a strange fish that was about one meter long and looked like a carp. It eventually escaped into the pipes that the Joja Group secretly used to discharge sewage and disappeared. It is very likely that the fish Vincent saw at the exit of the sewer was the same one."

The pollution in Joja, the sewers, the strange fish. These points seemed to be inevitably connected. Sean's words made everyone look solemn.

"Okay, Jodi, you calm Vincent down, and you and your son don't have to worry about what happens next." Sean said to Jodi.

Since the man in charge was not around, it was better for the widow and orphan not to get involved in the controversy. For this reason, Sean decided to isolate Jody from the matter.

"Haley, Claire, let's report this to the mayor." Then he turned and said to the two women.

-----------------

Lewis's residence.

After listening to Sean's story, Lewis looked gloomy and frowned.

The last incident, however, was reported to the Explorers' Guild but nothing happened next.

The strange fish disappeared for a while, and Lewis gradually forgot about it. Unexpectedly, it appeared again now.

It was really a case of bad luck but no one was injured, otherwise he, as the mayor, would be to blame.

Lewis secretly rejoiced for a moment, then an idea suddenly occurred to him and he slapped his thigh, thinking that things might take a turn for the better.

He remembered what Sean had said in the afternoon about the war of public opinion, and perhaps he could do something about it.

"Sean, do you think that strange fish is a mutation caused by pollution? The pollution problem in our town is getting worse and worse. The Joja Group's wanton discharge of pollutants has already put a heavy burden on the ecological environment. I never thought it would become so serious."

Lewis said with a heavy face, using Sean's words to express his judgment, putting the blame of this strange fish on the Joja Group.

"That's what I think. Those people are going too far and are becoming more and more lawless!" Sean immediately understood what Lewis meant and agreed.

"According to my last observation, the Lianbo River upstream is extremely filthy and smells terrible. It is really an eyesore. The deep groundwater is also affected, the soil is polluted, and the crop yield is also affected."

The tone made Haley and Claire, who were accompanying them, also filled with righteous indignation.

"When Claire and I were shooting outdoors before, we saw that the water in some places had turned black, and there was garbage everywhere. It was so disgusting!" Haley said angrily.

Claire also nodded and said, "That's right, if this continues, our town will be finished!"

"We have to do something about this!" the two girls said in unison, "Make a video and post it on the account to expose them!"

Lewis immediately looked over, his eyes questioning what the two women meant. He didn't know that Sean and the others had a video account with hundreds of thousands of fans.

"It's like this, we created a video account for fun to promote Pelican Town, but we haven't posted many videos yet, and we don't have many fans." Sean's expression froze and he immediately took over the topic. He didn't want the account to be exposed.

"But this reminds me that we can take photos and make videos of the pollution and spread them on a large scale in the town."

"Good idea. I'll go collect relevant pollution evidence to expose the Joja Group's crimes." Lewis' eyes sparkled. "Can I leave the investigation of the capture of the strange fish to you, Sean?"

"No problem." Sean's next mission was to trip up the Joja Group, and he was happy to see Lewis take the lead while he hid behind to help.

As for collecting evidence of Joja Group's pollution discharge and subsequent public opinion propaganda, it will all be left to Lewis.

-----------------

At the southern end of Pelican Town, near the ocean, under a cliff, there is a sewer pipe with a diameter of 5 or 6 meters. A big lock is hung on the iron railing door at the entrance.

There was sewage flowing everywhere, and various plastic bags and rotten wood blocks were floating in the black sewage, emitting a disgusting stench that seemed to corrode people's nasal cavity.

Hailey covered her nose with disgust, looked at the pollutants below, and turned around to retch. Claire frowned and comforted her.

"I can come here by myself. It's too dirty and smelly here. There's no need for you to suffer with me." Sean said to the two women behind him.

In response, Hailey gritted her teeth and said, "No, we have to go together. More people means more help."

Although the scene before her made her scalp tingle and she felt disgusted, she still persisted with a pale face.

Sean did not try to dissuade Haley from her insistence.

The two girls also have good intentions to help the future of Pelican Town, and it would be bad to dampen their enthusiasm too much.

He also took the time to ask Malone about the results of his investigation into the strange fish reported by Lewis. According to Malone, the strange fish did not involve any supernatural phenomena, but was purely a natural mutation of an organism.

Therefore, Sean was very confident that he could protect the two women, just like this: "Okay, come here, I'll give you some protection."

Just like he did in the tide pool last time, Sean used his ability to create a water layer filtration system in the nasal cavity of the two women. At the same time, he wrapped their bodies with a layer of transparent water film to prevent them from coming into contact with the filth.

The two girls were amazed by such a magical scene. Like curious babies playing with soap bubbles, they poked the outer layer of bubbles with their fingers.

Because Sean instills superpowers in them from time to time, the two girls are quite receptive to the magical abilities that Sean displays from time to time.

Sean noticed the reactions of the two women and secretly planned to help them awaken their abilities after this exploration. This was one of the reasons why he asked the two women to follow him.

After all, everyone is about to awaken their superpowers, so let's use this strange fish, which is not very dangerous, as a psychological anticipation measure.

He carefully led the two women down the cliff along the dirt steps and came to the entrance of the sewer pipe. Under their feet was disgusting sewage that had not yet dried up. It was a thick, dark brown mass that looked like the devil's vomit.

Sean took the key and opened the big lock on the iron railing. "Squeak~" like an old woman's voice echoed in the dark depths of the pipe wall. The entire underground pipeline seemed to be the intestines leading to an unknown creature, and it welcomed the exploration of outsiders for the first time.

The two women in protective clothing turned on the flashlights on their miners' helmets together with Sean.

The pipe was dark and damp inside, with a layer of sticky black substance clinging to the pipe walls. There was filth piled up everywhere, just like fly feces balls.

Fortunately, the bubbles under their feet were extremely strong, like oleophobic material. When they stepped on the sewage, the black asphalt-like substance moved away, which made the two women feel much better.

Although I can't smell the disgusting odor now, it's like those novice dog owners who put on a plastic bag to catch their dog's excrement for the first time. Although they know there is no direct contact, the scene still makes people feel physiologically nauseous.

Haley gritted her teeth and persevered. She and Claire held a camera and a cell phone respectively, following the light of the flashlight and recording everything they saw.

The entire sewer world is very vast and complex.

Lewis said that because of the coal mining and refining here, the sewage treatment system was originally very complicated.

In addition to the plane war a hundred years ago, this underground sewage system underwent another round of large-scale expansion and was used as an underground shelter.

I heard that the expanded underground shelter covers the entire underground part of the town, and there are still many hidden and sealed entrances to the underground passages in the town.

After the war, a large part of the entire underground shelter was closed, and the original sewage treatment system was separated and put into use as a sewer for sewage discharge.
