Chapter 1005: Two Reservoirs (1/2)

The next day, Flita carried in a large water tank that contained around fifty fish. Upon seeing the fishes swimming within, Krune was indeed disappointed, 'They span a length between 5-8 centimeters. They are indeed tiny. No wonder they provide insufficient energy.'

”Is there a spare water reservoir here?” Krune asked.

”We have four water reservoirs in total here.” Flita smiled, ”As there's just the three of us here now, you can use one or even two water reservoirs for your use.”

”I'll need the use of two water reservoirs,” Krune said.

Flita then directed him to the underground, showing him a water reservoir. It was massive, spanning a length of 30 meters, a breadth of 20 meters, and a depth of 30 meters. Upon seeing his reaction, Flita spoke, ”We don't have a constant supply of water. If the octopuses decide otherwise suddenly, then we would die from thirst.”

”We also have a sewage treatment plant that would recycle drinking water during such times.” She said, ”And to prevent the worst-case scenario, most buildings have a large reservoir of water underneath them.”

”My actions won't put you in any financial losses, right?” Krune asked, intending to double-check one last time.

”This is heavy expense, but,” Flita sighed, ”If my grandfather isn't treated, then everything would be snatched by our enemies sooner or later. I don't have the capabilities to defend everything on my own.”

”I see,” Krune nodded, smiling, ”then it should be fine. Please ensure there is no surveillance in these two places. Also, prevent anyone from stepping here.”

”That is easy,” Flita smiled, understanding that Krune didn't wish to reveal his secrets to them. However, she was fine as long as her grandfather made a full recovery.

Once he sent Flita away, Krune took out a bone tree fragment from his stash. It was the size of his thumb, spherical in shape. He inserted it into a small metal plate to act as a float on the water and then placed it on the water.

Krune stared at it, watching the bone tree sphere remain the same as it was, unchanging. He waited patiently, finally noticing a tiny protrusion after six hours had passed, lamenting, ”I forgot the water here is normal, unlike that on Layer 3. So, of course, their growth would be slow, dammit.”

He then headed towards the kitchen, noticing Flita loot at him in curiosity. He took a bunch of raw dead fishes stored to be cooked later, put them into a large granite bowl and began to grind them into a paste.

”Can I help with anything?” Flita asked, curious as to what he was doing.

”Yes, please grind them into a paste, as finely as possible,” Krune said, watching Flita repeat the same after observing him for a while. Soon, he had a large bucket full of fish paste. Krune carried it and arrived at the water reservoir where the bone tree sphere had been placed, pouring everything into the water.
