Chapter 156 Mutation (13)

At this time, as far as Lan Jin could see, many people who were in a state of madness had gathered on the ice.

These 'kindred spirits' wandered back and forth on the ice, bumping into each other and roaring, but they did not kill each other.

It is not difficult to guess that the worms in these people's bodies must be able to distinguish their own kind through something.

But in this case, wouldn’t those who don’t have worms in their bodies become everyone’s primary target?

Moreover, the frequency of the roars of those crazy people increased. Whenever people wandering around on the ice collided with each other, they would roar. Once one person roared, everyone around who heard it would roar along.

In this way, will those who cannot find their goals always be in a state of anxiety?

If this kind of anxiety continues for a long time, once it smells a smell that is different from its own kind, will it become even crazier than before?

Lan Jin really couldn't imagine that kind of scene. After all, no matter how strong they were, they could easily deal with one or two of them, but once the number became endless, they would not be able to survive no matter how much physical strength they had.

Of course, these are just her guesses. What if this is the reaction a crazy person would have?

Fearing that her peeping might attract the attention of those crazy people, Lan Jin carefully returned home, slowly closed the balcony door and locked it. Seeing that the people below didn't react, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But who knew, at this moment the intercom on the coffee table rang.

'Sizzle'

When the signal sounded, Lan Jin was instantly a little panicked, because although the sound of the walkie-talkie did not sound very loud at ordinary times, in such a quiet night, it was like a loudspeaker, causing those crazy people to freeze in place, raising their heads to look for the source of the sound.

Fortunately, perhaps the person on the other side of the signal noticed the movement below and immediately cut off the signal. After they roared, everything returned to its original state.

Lan Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but this little thing also indirectly proved that their ears were really sensitive. Maybe the person who came here today didn't necessarily come here because of Lao Gao's roar, but heard their movements and came here following the sound.

Anyway, this is also a possibility.

There was no sound from the intercom, and I didn't know who was going to say anything, but it was unusually quiet after that.

Lan Jin couldn't sleep at all in the situation downstairs. She took out the electric heater and placed it next to her. After connecting it to the hand-crank generator, she sat by the balcony door and began to observe the situation outside.

Just like that, until the dawn, Lan Jin suddenly heard a light knock on the door, "Sister Lan, Sister Lan, Sister Ling, Sister Ling."

Lao Gao lowered his voice very low, and Lan Jin also quietly walked to the door and slowly opened it. In addition to Lao Gao, Huang Jinghe also followed behind him. Not long after, Ling Jiang from next door also quietly opened the door.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Lao Gao said in a low voice, "I was the one who turned on the intercom last night. I wanted to warn you that those guys had escaped from the house. Who knew that their ears were so sensitive, and it was hard to see clearly at night. It was not until dawn that I realized that there were quite a few people who escaped."

Lan Jin said, "I sat by the door and observed for half the night. After these people fall into a state of mania, they don't need electric shocks. They will recover on their own. However, they won't be awake for long. Last night, someone woke up and wanted to run home to get dressed, but before he could even get back, he went crazy again."

Lao Gao didn't expect that Lan Jin had observed for so long and obtained such useful information. But there was no light outside, and even with the moonlight, he couldn't see clearly. How did Lan Jin observe these?

Unexpectedly, Lan Jin took out a pair of night vision glasses and said, "I used these to see. The images I saw were almost the same as those seen during the day. I started observing after the clock turned on last night. So far, those people have woken up two or three times. If they fall into a state of mania without external intervention, it would last about two hours, but they have only been awake for a minute."

Lao Gao gave Lan Jin a thumbs up. Really, she could get this thing. He hadn't thought about some of the details before. Now it seems that there really is a huge secret hidden behind Lan Jin. But if they said they wouldn't pry, then they wouldn't pry. They are not conscienceless people.

At this moment, Lao Gao also praised sincerely: "Sister Lan, awesome! I wanted to see it last night, but I couldn't see it at all. Then I found a pair of headphones and listened to the radio. I listened for half the night and actually heard the news about this incident.

The flour we buy on the market is made from insects. However, since insect powder cannot be as thick as flour to make cakes and fill the stomach, the people who sell this insect powder also add a kind of plant powder to it so that it can have the effect of making cakes.

This plant grew quietly after the abnormal weather occurred. It is a mutated plant. It still grows even in extreme cold. No matter when this plant was added, after these two mutated things are added together, we will have these reactions when we eat them.

The people above urged everyone to stop eating the flour if they could find other food, and to minimize their presence, because when these people are in a frenzy, they are extremely strong, with sharp hearing and eyesight, and ordinary people are no match for them.

But that’s it, there’s really no more news.

Ling Jiang was speechless. "This information is basically what we already know. Even if we didn't know it before, anyone with a brain should have figured it out. Is there any need to explain it? And the salt, didn't the radio mention that salt can solve this problem? Or will there be other rescue efforts later?"

Lao Gao said, "No solution was mentioned, and as for rescue, there's no way to save them. Who knows if there are still people out there who haven't eaten insect powder? Life is so difficult for everyone, it's normal that everyone has eaten it. Everyone has gone crazy, and even if the people in power want to save them, how can they do it?"

Lan Jin also said, "I think it's not that they don't know the solution, but like Lao Gao said, there's no way to save them. As far as we know, the solution is salt. However, so many people have fallen into madness. How much salt is needed to save them, and how much salt can the higher-ups have?"

Most of the salt they eat now is well salt, and well...

Don't even think about getting salt from the well.

Speaking of sea salt, there is no way to extract salt in this situation. So when most people are in a state of madness, where can we find so much salt to save everyone from the water and fire?
