"No problem."
The Creator·Swallower replied in a deep voice.
After receiving a positive answer, Su Mo said to Krisia.
"Let’s go, follow to investigate."
"Okay!"
Krisia quickly responded.
The two hurried out of the restaurant, and Su Mo led Krisia in the direction the Creator·Swallower indicated, heading towards the source.
As Krisia followed behind Su Mo, she gazed at his back, her purple eyes flickering, lost in thought.
At this mont, the entire Radiant City had entered a state of alert, with soldiers on guard everywhere.
A large number of doctors, accompanied by soldiers, went to different areas to set up temporary dical zones.
Also, all soldiers and NCOs received the ssage that anyone who drank water should imdiately go to the nearest dical point for a check-up.
At this mont, when Su Mo and Krisia were halfway to their destination, Krisia suddenly stopped walking.
Su Mo noticed and also stopped, turning to look at Krisia with a puzzled expression.
"What’s wrong?"
"Stomachache."
Krisia’s face showed a bit of pain as she instinctively clutched her stomach.
"Damn, my stomach hurts too."
Su Mo was about to step forward when his stomach suddenly grumbled. Imdiately, he felt a stomachache too, and it wasn’t cramps, it was more like an upset stomach.
Krisia looked around, trying to find a restroom.
But unfortunately, in their current area, there was no restroom.
Krisia’s expression beca increasingly pained, as if she couldn’t hold on much longer. Then she saw a construction area fenced with tal sheets ahead, and told Su Mo.
"Sir, sorry, could you keep watch for ?"
"This isn’t...no, not..."
Before Su Mo could finish his response, Krisia dashed over.
Soon, an unusual sound ca from behind Su Mo.
Su Mo, with one hand on his stomach and a wry smile on his face, was also in excruciating pain, feeling like sothing was about to leak out.
So he complained to the Creator·Swallower: "You’ve really gotten killed, didn’t you say there was nothing wrong?"
"Eating sothing bad and getting an upset stomach, what’s so strange about it?"
The Creator·Swallower replied indifferently.
At this mont, a barely audible shy voice ca from behind Su Mo.
"Sir, could you find so paper for ?"
"....Sure!"
Su Mo was almost at his wits’ end. It had been a long ti since he had been this embarrassed, so after responding to Krisia, he asked the Creator·Swallower.
"Quick, scan the area for so paper nearby."
...
anwhile, in various regions, soldiers rushing to dical points suddenly started to mutate. Their eyes turned red and their skin began to harden.
Soon, so began to grow bone spurs, their hands evolved into claws, and others’ bodies started to swell, transforming into grotesque life forms.
In a frenzy, they began attacking every living thing around them.
Around them, so soldiers who hadn’t mutated began an orderly military crackdown, without hesitation attacking their mutated comrades.
Boom!
In an instant, the previously quiet Radiant City erupted into chaos.
Gunfire and explosions were heard everywhere.
At this ti, Xia Weiya led a team to the most riot-stricken Zone C.
She sternly ordered her subordinates: "Anyone who has mutated, kill them on the spot; any rcy now is foolish! All who drank the water and haven’t mutated should be contained and controlled. Notify all NCOs to suppress the riot completely within three hours!"
"Yes!"
The subordinates present replied in unison.
"And order the defense personnel in each area to guard their territories, don’t let anyone take advantage of the situation. I want to see how long this troublemaking rat can keep jumping around."
Xia Weiya’s eyes revealed a strong intent to kill.
"Yes, ma’am."
...
On the other side, Su Mo, clutching his stomach, found a roll of paper and walked towards the tal sheets.
Before he got close, Krisia shouted.
"Don’t co over, just throw the paper over."
"Can you catch it?"
Su Mo asked, holding his stomach.
"No problem, as long as you don’t throw it crooked. You shouldn’t throw crooked, right?"
Krisia, squatting behind the tal sheets, stuck her hand out towards Su Mo and said.
"No way, I’m pretty accurate with my throws."
Su Mo said confidently.
Just as Su Mo casually tossed the roll, a sharp pain struck his stomach, and his back tightened. His hand slipped, and he really did throw it crooked.
The roll of paper landed right in front of the tal sheets, not too far off.
For a mont, the air fell silent.
Su Mo was frozen in place; this ti, it was truly difficult to explain.
At this mont, Krisia, suppressing her anger, gritted her teeth and said to Su Mo: "Sir, could you help pick it up?"
"Okay, okay, right away."
Su Mo hurriedly went over, picked up the roll of paper from the ground.
Then, turning his back, he handed the paper back over.
Krisia, blushing, stretched out her hand to take the roll of paper.
Su Mo, enduring his turbulent stomach, quickly walked away, but couldn’t help thinking about certain images.
The thought of such a beautiful girl being in that spot doing that made him feel strange.
Su Mo quickly shook his head, trying to dismiss that strange thought.
Not long after, Krisia erged from behind the tal sheets, handing the remaining roll of paper to Su Mo.
"Ahem, it was really unintentional, I just slipped..."
Su Mo tried to explain despite his uncomfortable stomach, but sohow, the more he explained, the worse it seed.
"Sir, you should go quickly, it’ll be bad if it stains your pants later."
Krisia interrupted Su Mo directly.
"Uh, okay, wait for ."
With Krisia’s reminder, Su Mo felt his stomach ache even more, so without further delay, he also ran towards the back of the tal sheets.
...
Soon after, Su Mo felt relieved.
However, when he and Krisia locked eyes, both of them looked increasingly awkward.
So Su Mo broke the awkward silence and said to Krisia.
"Let’s go!"
"Okay."
Krisia didn’t say anything unnecessary.
Before long, Su Mo brought Krisia to the entrance of the underground pipeline in Zone C.
It was heavily guarded.
A major saluted Su Mo.
"Sir, Lady Xia Weiya has already ordered that all areas involving water supply be sealed off, no unauthorized personnel allowed."
Su Mo raised his bracelet and said, "I’m here to investigate the water problem, I have the authority granted by Lady Goli."
The major imdiately raised his bracelet, scanned Su Mo, and upon seeing the displayed information, saluted Su Mo again.
"Sir, please proceed!"
Su Mo led Krisia inside!
Krisia, looking curiously at Su Mo, asked.
"If there’s a problem with the water, shouldn’t we head to the reservoir first? Why are we checking the pipeline instead?"
"I don’t think the reservoir has been compromised. Star Ring City isn’t to be trifled with; they wouldn’t make such a basic mistake."
"You an the water got tampered with during transportation."
Krisia quickly caught on.
