Old Mrs. Zhu sensed a threat in Granny Wang's words, and she calmly smiled in response.
"Sister, you don't need to worry. We've stocked up on plenty of water, enough for ten days to half a month."
Granny Wang was surprised that Old Lady Zhu was not afraid of her threats, and nodded slightly with a cold smile.
"Alright, I'll wait for you in the tent. If anything happens, remember to let me know."
After saying that, she deliberately glanced at the room before turning away triumphantly.
Old Mrs. Zhu watched Wang Pozi's movements warily, while Zhu Yanyan, who was standing silently beside her, watched as Wang Pozi turned around.
He followed her and turned around, but before leaving, she narrowed her eyes and whispered some harsh words.
"Gotcha."
Old Mrs. Zhu didn't hear what she said clearly, and with a frown, she turned and went into the room.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Granny Wang's words seemed to be hinting at something.
Just then, Chen Xiang came out of the epidemic prevention room and noticed that Grandma Zhu didn't look well, so he quickly went up to her and asked her what was wrong.
"Grandma Zhu, what happened?"
"Lord Chen, how are the brothers inside who took the antidote doing?"
Old Mrs. Zhu couldn't understand what Granny Wang was trying to do, and then she remembered the antidote she had received the night before.
Currently, the only problem is with the antidote; if the team members show symptoms of poisoning again...
That is, Granny Wang intends to use the lives of her team members as shields for her.
"The team members' condition has improved, and there are currently no problems."
Chen Xiang didn't understand why Grandma Zhu was suddenly concerned about the team members' situation, and asked her in confusion.
"Did the woman outside the door say something to you, Old Mrs. Zhu?"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Old Lady Zhu decided to continue to keep it a secret and whispered to Chen Xiang.
"The old woman outside the door is no ordinary person. I think she deliberately gave us the antidote in order to control us and make it easier for us to enter Hengyang Town."
"Grandma Zhu, are you suspecting there's something wrong with Hengyang Town?"
Chen Xiang listened attentively to what Grandma Zhu had to say, quickly gleaning important information from her words.
"Sigh, even if we don't go into Hengyang Town now, we won't be able to escape if the volcano erupts."
There are two days left until the volcanic eruption. When do Grandma and Uncle expect the eruption to happen?
XiXi doesn't want to become grilled fish.
Before Old Lady Zhu could reply, Xixi's muttering started again, this time bringing everyone extremely terrifying information.
This information caused the expressions on the faces of Grandma Zhu and Chen Xiang, who had been listening silently, to change instantly.
Even Pei Sining, who is usually calm and composed, became anxious and uneasy upon hearing the news.
He strode out of the house and walked toward the crowd.
"Lord Chen, Brother Wang, have you noticed that the weather has become unusually hot lately?"
"This heat is even hotter than a normal summer. I read in ancient books that this happens whenever there is a volcanic eruption."
"There will be unusual phenomena, with scorching heat during the day and snowstorms at night."
These words made the already depressed group even more agitated and uneasy.
At the same time, Zhu Chenfeng and Zhu Haotian, each with their wives, also came out of the room with worried expressions.
The male lead is definitely reliable, otherwise we'd all be roasted pigs.
Currently, the only reliable option is to travel by water, passing through Hengyang Town.
Pei Sining also felt that, given the current situation, taking the waterway was safer.
Wang Haocheng sat in front of the fire with a worried expression and said in a heavy tone, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be safer to travel by water?"
“There’s a dock outside Hengyang Town. I have a cargo ship at the dock that can take us away.”
Chen Xiang, who had thought he was doomed, suddenly became excited after learning that Wang Haocheng had a boat to leave.
"Manager Wang, if you had a boat, wouldn't we be saved?"
"Hey! Even if there were a boat, it would have to pass through Hengyang Town. Don't you find it strange that the city gates are still not open at noon?"
Wang Haocheng almost revealed the existence of monsters in Hengyang Town, but then worried that people would keep asking him questions.
He had no choice but to suppress the urge to speak, and sighed as he looked towards Hengyang Town.
After he said that, everyone realized that the city gates had not been opened since yesterday.
"It seems there really is something wrong with Hengyang Town," Zhu Chenfeng said with a gloomy face.
Chen Xiang also felt that if the afternoon was delayed like this, everyone's lives would be at stake.
He stepped forward and said to everyone, "I'll go and find out what's going on."
He claimed to be gathering information, but he was just going through the motions, going out for a short while before returning to report that there were monsters in the city.
Zhu Wen and An Qing were both worried about letting Chen Xiang go alone, so they both stood up and patted their chests to say something.
"Boss, I'll go with you."
“I’ll go with you.”
For the first time, Chen Xiang found the two of them rather annoying, and glared at them a few times with a dark expression.
"No need, too many people will only cause trouble. You all stay here and protect Grandma Zhu and Xixi."
"That wife from earlier is very suspicious. Keep a close eye on them."
Zhu Wen and An Qing wanted to say something more, but Chen Xiang didn't give them a chance at all, and ran away with his sword in hand.
He kept looking back as he ran, afraid that the two clingy kids would catch up and ruin his plans.
He was just going through the motions; he wasn't actually going into the city alone. If they followed him, he would really have to go in.
Just as Chen Xiang was heading towards the town gate of Hengyang, Zhu Yanyan was observing his furtive behavior from outside the tent.
Granny Wang brought rice soup to her side and handed it to her with a smile, saying, "Yan Yan, have some rice soup to quench your thirst."
Zhu Yanyan was focused on observing Chen Xiang's movements and did not notice the color of the rice soup in Wang Pozi's bowl.
She frowned as she took the rice porridge from Granny Wang and gulped it all down.
After finishing her drink, she handed the bowl to Granny Wang, pointed at Chen Xiang, and said, "Grandma Wang, go and ask her later."
"What did this young man see?"
Granny Wang was very satisfied with Zhu Yanyan's obedience and good behavior. Looking at the empty bowl, she smiled happily.
A moment later, Chen Xiang jogged back into the house from the direction of Hengyang Town, pretending to be scared.
He pointed at Hengyang Town, panting, and said in a trembling voice, "Something bad has happened in the town."
"The room was full of monsters that roamed around; they seemed to be dead but also not dead."
These words instantly turned everyone in the room ashen-faced, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.
"If that's the case, then it will be extremely difficult for us to get through Hengyang Town."
Upon learning of the situation in Hengyang Town, Zhu Chenfeng immediately became agitated and anxiously stepped forward to look at everyone.
Zombies aren't scary, are they? As long as you find the Ghost Grass and wear it, you can avoid them.
If all else fails, the White Tiger can carry everyone across the city.
[But the White Tiger can't check luggage, so won't everyone starve to death after leaving the city?]
