Chapter 86: Stirring up a hornet's nest
"Ah, stop it."
"We were wrong, we were really wrong."
"Let us go."
Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei clapped their hands to create the sound of fighting. Unexpectedly, these four old men were not only skilled in medicine but also good actors.
The four of them took turns carefully examining the porridge in front of them, then picked up the chalk and wrote on the blackboard: "There is a sleeping pill."
The moment the chalk words fell, everyone immediately understood why Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun had not woken up for five days. It turned out that they had been drugged.
It was Sun Jingqi who discovered that there was something wrong with the porridge, and Sun Jingrui and others looked at her.
The blackboard turned around, and the two big words "Fang Fan" came into view.
"I'm going to settle the score with him."
Fang Fan was brought in by Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei because of his deep friendship and loyalty. He actually dared to drug them. Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei could not suppress their disappointment and anger.
"Don't act rashly. He's inextricably linked to the Ecstasy Hotel. If we capture him now and the Ecstasy Hotel sends people to attack us, we'll be left vulnerable. The most urgent task is to quickly develop an antidote to the drug and wake Nan Yu and A Xun up as soon as possible. That way, we'll have a better chance of winning."
The Invincible Team discussed for a moment and decided that the four old men could not be sent back to the experimental base. What if they were also cheating?
The sudden caution made the four of them feel bad as they had to huddle on the carpet in the cold wind without even a bed or quilt at night.
"You guys are finally awake. If you don't wake up, we will all starve to death."
Chen Xun woke up before Zhao Nanyu, and when he opened his eyes he saw the thinner faces of the Invincible Squad.
"Didn't Nan Yu leave a lot of supplies for you?"
Before they took the potion, they had settled the people down nicely. How come they became like this after just a few days of not seeing them?
"Fang Fan drugged them all. They'd rather starve than eat a single bite."
That day, Sun Jingqi found drugs in the porridge. He went back to the kitchen and took out one of the ingredients and brought it to the four old men for inspection. The result was so mad at them that they found drugs in every one of them.
Chen Xun and Zhao Nanyu were lucky, as the porridge they drank was just a drug. But what they ate was really scary, as Fang Fan had put a chronic poison in it. Who would dare to eat it?
"Fang Fan?"
After drinking only porridge for several days, Zhao Nanyu had no strength at all. He leaned in Chen Xun's arms and quickly got himself a Snickers bar, which made Lin Jiashu and others drool.
Take out instant noodles, biscuits and steamed buns from the space and let them divide them among themselves.
Two of the four old men had already fainted from hunger. Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei pried open their mouths and stuffed food in, barely saving their lives.
Wolfing down the food did not prevent Sun Jingrui and Tan Chao from explaining the matter clearly. Chen Xun and Zhao Nanyu immediately ordered the arrest of Fang Fan.
"Why is the Ecstasy Hotel keeping such a close eye on us?"
Whether it was the drug or the chronic poison, there was no intention to kill them immediately. Zhao Nanyu guessed that Fang Fan did not completely obey the instructions of the Ecstasy Hotel, but seemed to be buying time for them.
"have no idea."
"Why did you drug us?"
Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei couldn't get over this matter, even though they had thought about helping him save people.
"The man said that if I didn't follow his instructions, my wife and sister would die."
Threats, naked threats against the lives of family members.
This is understandable, and the anger of Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei subsided a little.
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know him. I don't know his name or any other information. I only know that he is Liu Zhengxiong's cousin."
Liu Zhengxiong's cousin?
Now we've stirred up a hornet's nest.
They killed someone's cousin, so it's not surprising that someone wants to kill them.
“Is he very powerful?”
Baozhu's skills are not good enough. The only one who can make Fang Fan, who has a level six ability, helpless and afraid of him is Liu Zhengxiong's cousin.
“Not amazing, but also amazing.”
What kind of bird language is this?
Zhao Nanyu and the others didn't understand what was going on. They didn't know whether this was impressive or not.
"He's not just one person. There are two, three, four identical versions of him."
The more Fang Fan spoke, the more confused the Invincible Squad became.
Twins? Triplets? Quadruplets?
Seeing that Fang Fan himself didn't understand, several people gave up asking.
"We will ignore him and continue on our way."
Chen Xun decided to set off for the capital base instead of returning to the Ecstasy Hotel to take the risk. Fang Fan, perhaps feeling guilty, did not force everyone to help him save his family.
There was nothing to pack, so Chen Xun and Zhao Nanyu took out two cars and set off with the four old men.
After driving for a whole day and night, we drove out of the desert and entered a village.
There were no people or zombies in the village. The Invincible Squad chose a main room and slept on the floor.
"With so many rooms, what are we going to do if we squeeze together?"
Every household is given the choice, thirteen rooms are more than enough for thirteen people.
The three women, Zhao Nanyu, Chen's mother and Sun Jingqi, were fine, but the other ten men could not even stretch their arms and legs straight, and it was extremely uncomfortable to sleep curled up. They had to stay in the same position and did not dare to turn over, because if they turned over, they would have to kiss their brothers.
"Shut up and go to sleep. If anyone talks again, don't blame me for being rude to him."
Zhao Nanyu kicked them one by one, and they all became quiet instantly. Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei closed their eyes and started snoring.
"I'll also beat up anyone who snores loudly."
Hold your breath. Not only is there no snoring in the main room, but even the breathing is eerily quiet.
"Don't you think it's not right?"
It went smoothly, so smoothly.
As soon as they left the desert base, Amu and the others must have sent a message to the Ecstasy Hotel, but until now, Liu Zhengxiong's cousin has not responded at all.
He wanted their lives before, but suddenly he didn't want them anymore and let them go without chasing them.
This is weird no matter how you look at it.
Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun did not go into the main room to sleep. After instructing Sun Jingrui and Tan Chao to keep watch, they started to check in the village.
"Why is this village so empty? There's no sign of life at all."
Judging from the ink painting on the outside of the house, it should be a newly built village. Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun also saw two remaining radish and cabbage leaves in the cellar, so there must have been people living here before.
Even if a rescue team comes after the apocalypse, they won't be able to evacuate so cleanly.
The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and there wasn't even a cobweb in the room. Most importantly, there was no stench of zombies, and there was even a faint fragrance.
After walking around the entire village, Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun's intuition told them that there was a serious problem.
"Let's go back quickly, wake them up, and leave as soon as possible."
When the two rushed back to the main hall, Baozhu brought a group of people to surround them in three layers.
"You can't get away. Just follow us back and save yourself from suffering."
