Chapter 312: Isolation Area, Poisoned Patients

However, despite experiencing many twists and turns and dangers along the way, fortunately, Suning and others finally managed to return to the Fifth Shelter safely.

Night had already fallen, and the entire shelter was shrouded in darkness, with only a few lights flickering in it.

Ma Feng did not dare to delay at all and walked quickly towards where Gu Cheng'an lived.

Suning followed closely behind, and when they finally arrived, Ma Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm finally back!"

Gu Cheng'an was originally very happy to see Su Ning's arrival. Suning has the ability to control toxins, which he saw with his own eyes, so he wanted Su Ning to solve the current dilemma in the shelter. He hoped that Suning's arrival would allow the shelter to successfully overcome this difficulty.

However, before he could say anything to Suning, he did not expect Ma Feng to come over carrying Lu Ming.

When his eyes fell on Lu Ming who was carried on Ma Feng's shoulders, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

He thought this guy was seriously injured, but when Gu Cheng'an observed Lu Ming's complexion in detail, he found that although Lu Ming's eyes were closed, his face was unusually rosy. He didn't look like he had suffered much damage, but more like he had taken some tonic.

Gu Cheng'an was immediately puzzled and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Lu Ming, what's going on? Why are you guys in such a mess? Did you get attacked by the enemy outside the shelter?"

Ma Feng was a little tired after carrying the boy all the way and did not answer Gu Cheng'an's question in time. He first snatched a few bottles of water from Gu Cheng'an, quickly unscrewed the lids in a hurry, and drank them in big gulps. His anxious look obviously showed that he was already very thirsty.

Gulp, dong, he finished a bottle of water in an instant.

Ma Feng: "Great!"

After taking a short breath, he handed another bottle of water to Suning.

Suning reached out to take the water bottle, but did not rush to drink it.

After all, she was riding on the back of the broiler chicken all the way, so she didn't consume too much energy.

The ones who suffer are the broiler chickens.

I saw Suning gently unscrew the bottle cap, then carefully put the bottle mouth to the broiler's mouth and said gently: "Xiao Rou, drink some water and take a rest."

The broiler chicken called out happily twice and lowered its head to drink.

Meanwhile, Gu Cheng'an was still looking at Lu Ming who was awake.

He also heard Ma Feng's explanation: "Awakening?" Gu Cheng'an was a little confused, and saw Ma Feng said seriously:

"This was discovered by Suning. To be honest, I only have a vague understanding of it. However, if you don't believe it, you can ask Mu Feiyu to assess Lu Ming's condition."

When it comes to Mu Feiyu, Su Ning can't help but become interested.

However, Gu Cheng'an said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about this. Coincidentally, just when you went to find Suning, I sent Mu Feiyu to the First Sanctuary to find out what the next natural disaster would be."

"Oh, then we'll wait until he comes back and see what Lu Ming's situation is. But in my opinion, there's no need to go to the First Shelter specifically to ask. Even if we don't go there, we can probably guess what the next natural disaster will be like."

Hearing this, Gu Cheng'an raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Feng, "Oh? Why are you so sure?"

Ma Feng glanced at Su Ning, and then told Gu Cheng'an in detail about the dangers they encountered along the way and the mutant plant [Giant Vine] that appeared.

In addition, Suning has already discussed with Ma Feng what the upcoming natural disaster might look like.

Ma Feng initially agreed with Su Ning's guess that the next natural disaster might be the appearance of mutant creatures. Following Su Ning's lead, Ma Feng offered his analysis, saying, "I have a strong feeling that the number of mutant plants and insects out there has definitely increased recently. Not only are their numbers enormous, but their strength should not be underestimated! Therefore, the natural disaster could be caused by these mutant creatures."

After hearing this, Gu Cheng'an's face turned serious. He knew the threat posed by mutated biological plants and was well aware of the seriousness and urgency of this incident.

But Suning on the side obviously did not come here to solve these problems for Gu Chengan.

Su Ning: "Manager Gu, since I've already agreed to come and help you resolve this crisis, let's not waste any more time. I'd really like to see what kind of toxin has caused you to be so anxious."

Hearing this, Ma Feng slapped his forehead and blamed himself, "Oh! Look at my memory. I was so busy talking to you about those mutant creatures outside the shelter that I actually forgot such an important matter. Boss Gu, how about we take Miss Su to the quarantine area now?"

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Chengan.

Gu Chengan nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Although he still had many doubts about the mutant creatures, Gu Cheng'an knew that the most critical thing at the moment was to solve the poisoning problem of the residents in the shelter.

He said no more. After arranging Lu Ming, he turned around and took Suning towards the isolation area.

Along the way, Suning looked at the surrounding environment curiously.

The Fifth Sanctuary has also undergone significant changes.

When passing a residential area, Suning suddenly found an area tightly wrapped in blue cloth.

The area looked quite mysterious, which aroused Suning's strong curiosity.

Because she remembered that when she first came to the Fifth Shelter to rent a house, it was within this sealed-off area.

Why is it blocked now? Suning couldn't help but ask the person next to him.

Ma Feng explained solemnly, "The poisoning incidents in the Fifth Shelter originated from this area. However, as to the exact cause of the poisoning, we still don't know. Even more bizarre is that anyone who sets foot in that area will be poisoned."

Hearing this, Su Ning couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Even Mu Feiyu couldn't find the specific cause of the poisoning with his ability?"

Gu Cheng'an then slowly spoke, "I really didn't dare to risk letting him enter that area to check, for fear that he might be poisoned. Fortunately, this toxin doesn't seem to be contagious."

Afterwards, everyone entered the isolation area where the poisoned residents were located.

But when Suning actually saw the poisoned people lying on the hospital beds, he was surprised to find that these injured people were completely different from the poisoned patients he had imagined in his mind.

The people in front of him were surprisingly quiet. They lay quietly on the hospital bed as if they were sleeping, without any sign of struggle or pain.

Seeing this, Gu Chengan felt pity and said solemnly, "The most terrifying thing about this poison is that it doesn't cause a person to die quickly in extreme pain. On the contrary, it slowly erodes their spirit and will, weakening their vitality bit by bit until they eventually die."
