Chapter 116 Visiting Others
The middle-aged man with a full beard roughly shoved Xu Lin aside, his finger almost poking Zhou Siyu's nose: "You're just a little brat, barely out of your teens, and you dare to give orders like this?"
As he spoke, he looked at Chi Yanzhou and the others: "I'm telling you today, you're right here..."
Before he could finish speaking, a blinding bolt of lightning struck, and the middle-aged man's body convulsed violently like an electric frog. His eyes rolled back, revealing large patches of white, and finally, with a "bang," he fell straight to the ground, his limbs still twitching unconsciously.
Electric arcs crackled between Chi Yanzhou's fingertips, his eyes cold and sharp: "To yield, or not to yield?"
The crowd fell silent instantly, with only gasps of surprise escaping their lips.
The crowd then scrambled to move to both sides, creating a passage wide enough for six or seven people to walk side by side.
Pei Qique tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and tilted her head slightly in her wheelchair: "How about we extend a little hospitality?"
Zhou Siyu immediately chimed in, his youthful voice light and cheerful: "Yes, brothers and sisters, would you like to come with us to the red-label area?"
"Gaga gaga! Ah Ye and I, gaga gaga!"
[The beauty won't go with you guys if you don't invite me and A-Ye!]
Luo Xingyou leaned closer to Lu Nange, her warm breath brushing against his ear: "Nannan, I've seen Zhou Muyun at the Su family's house. He knows Su Zeli."
Lu Nange nodded slightly.
Quzhou City—Su Zeli? Human experimentation.
Chiayi City – Zhou Muyun? Mutant plant.
Psychotropic drugs? What's the connection between these two?
Pei Qique's wheelchair creaked slightly as she moved forward half a meter: "This little friend and this adorable parrot..."
Lu Nange and the others exchanged glances, and Lu Xici stepped forward: "Lead the way!"
......
Seven or eight cars eventually stopped in front of a gray and white detached villa.
Zhou Siyu pushed the wheelchair ahead, the metal wheels making a regular clicking sound on the stone pavement.
Pei Qique turned around and smiled slightly: "This villa has been vacant for a while, so you can all stay here without worry."
Her slender finger gently pointed next door: "We live over there. Feel free to come find us anytime if you need anything. Siyu and I will visit again later."
Inside the villa, it was bright and clean, and the magnificent crystal chandelier was outrageous enough. What was even more outrageous was that the villa had a stable supply of water and electricity.
After everyone dispersed and the entire building was checked, Wen Qing's healing abilities began to treat everyone.
A pale white halo emanated from her palm, and the shocking blisters and burns on Gu Wan's body began to heal at a visible speed.
Luo Xingyou turned on the tap, and rust-red liquid gushed out, accumulating into a pool of murky sewage in the sink.
"Nan Nan, this water is polluted, it can't be used!"
Lu Nange: "Then let's use the water we collect ourselves."
In three luxurious bathrooms paved with marble, a group of people took turns washing away the blood and exhaustion from their bodies.
......
In the living room of the villa next door, twilight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting an orange-red glow on the figures of the mother and son.
Pei Qique was gently stroking the top of Zhou Siyu's head.
The boy's clenched fist trembled slightly: "Mom, Uncle Pei Yuan has taken everyone out to find the antidote. Once we find it, you will definitely recover."
"Ayu." Pei Qique weakly interrupted him, a gentle smile appearing on her pale face.
She raised her hand to smooth the boy's furrowed brow; her fingertips were icy cold.
"Look..." she pointed out the window, "How beautiful the sunset is. If Mommy isn't by Ayu's side anymore, then Mommy will just... have to go early to wait for you at the next dawn."
Her fingers gently traced the boy's outline: "Promise Mom, no matter what happens, you must live well. When the world is covered in flowers again... see it for Mom one more time."
A drop of warm liquid landed on the back of Pei Qique's hand.
She pretended not to see the boy's red eyes and simply pulled him into her arms.
"Mom will become the wind, the rain, the stars, or anything else around my son," she whispered in the boy's ear. "So... my Ayu will never be alone."
Pei Qique and Zhou Siyu only found out a week ago.
Zhou Muyun injected Pei Qique with a chronic neurotoxin.
However, what Zhou Siyu had inside her was a gene enhancer that had been tested all along.
This is why Pei Qique became increasingly haggard and weak, while Zhou Siyu, who was only fifteen years old, grew ten centimeters taller in just six months, with sharp muscle lines that made him look nothing like a teenager.
......
After taking a shower, Lu Nange and her group, their damp hair still dripping with water, sat around in the living room.
Luo Xingyou: "After Quzhou City was taken over by the Su family, one evening, a helicopter landed on the roof of the Su family building."
That night, it happened to be my night patrol shift. I saw Su Zeli take Zhou Muyun to Xie Zong's laboratory, and the next morning, Zhou Muyun left by helicopter.
Gu Qi frowned: "Xingyou, are you sure it's the same person?"
Luo Xingyou: "There is no mistake. When I passed by Zhou Muyun that day, the snake ring on his right hand caught on my sleeve, so I saw Zhou Muyun's face directly."
Lu Xici: "That's interesting. Two cities that are neither too close nor too far apart, each occupying different cities after the apocalypse, with some interaction between them. One is conducting human experiments, and the other is cultivating mutated plants?"
He Zhuo suddenly sat up straight: "It's the apocalypse now. This far apart, with no communication base stations and no network signal, how are they supposed to confirm the other is still alive? They can't just light a signal fire, can they?"
Lu Nange, Chi Yanzhou, and Lu Xici all said in unison: "Radio."
Lu Nange: "Crystal core transplantation, neurotoxins, mutated plants—isn't that a bit too much of a targeted approach?"
Chi Yanzhou: "Or maybe Zhou Muyun and Su Zeli were old acquaintances who shared similar interests before the apocalypse, and they have kept in touch after the apocalypse."
Or perhaps they were among those who knew about this apocalypse.
He Zhuo: "Huh? Is that what I mean? Manipulating the weather, creating zombies, is that how they play? Are they crazy?"
Gu Wan bit her nails: "It's a pity we didn't know before. Now that the Zhou and Su families are both dead, we could have asked them."
Lu Nange: "Let's sound out Pei Qique and Zhou Siyu first..."
Chi Yanzhou: "If our guess is correct, then Zhou Muyun and Su Zeli couldn't possibly be the only two involved in this disaster..."
Lu Nange thought that 'Youyou' might know something, so she asked in her mind: [Youyou, do you know anything about Zhou Muyun and Su Zeli?]
'Youyou': [Nannan, I can't say anything about this part for now!]
Lu Nange: [...]
'Youyou': [But...but I can tell you, the antidote Pei Qique needs is in your space!]
Lu Nange: [Are those the ones I collected at Xie Zong's lab last time?]
'Youyou': [That's right.]
Lu Nange: [Blue, yellow, red, green...which one is it?]
'有有': [Green.]
As her consciousness returned to reality, Lu Nange's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She looked around at everyone: "Shall we rest first, or go visit someone next door?"
He Zhuo: "I'm so restless, how about we go visit the neighbors next door?"
