Chapter 297 Amplifying Emotions

When An Xiaobei heard his words, tears immediately welled up in her eyes and she burst into tears.

"Don't kill Dad! Uncle Wang, don't kill Dad!"

Wang Deng, however, kept shouting in a hoarse voice: "Kill! Kill! He must be killed!"

An Xiaobei grabbed his arm, tears streaming down her face, her snot flowing into her mouth:

"No! Uncle Wang, please, don't do this. Wuwuwuwu..."

One of them was furious, the other was heartbroken, and each one was shouting louder than the other.

Liu Xiulian frowned: "Why are you two suddenly going crazy here?! Why are you crying and making a fuss?"

As I said this, I felt the uneasiness and fear in my heart deepened.

"Stop making trouble and hurry up! If Annan comes later, we won't be able to leave."

Wang Deng's eyes were red: "Annan? Why are you afraid of Annan? I can kill ten Annans with one punch! Whoever hurts you, I will beat him to death!"

An Xiaobei kept crying: "Wuwuwu, but Mom, what will happen to Dad after we leave?"

Liu Xiulian's irritability became more and more intense: "Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

Having said that, he walked out first.

He kept muttering: "Don't get caught by Annan, don't get caught..."

Wang Deng, carrying something, followed her in big strides, shouting in a hoarse voice: "Xiulian! Wait for me! Don't be afraid! I will kick anyone who hurts you to death!"

An Xiaobei turned around and looked at An Xingye reluctantly, then followed him crying.

"Wuwuwu, wait, don't leave me! Wuwuwu, what should Dad do..."

The three people left noisily and gradually disappeared in the thick fog.

In the villa area, there were constant quarrels and shouting sounds coming from the area.

"This is my house! I saw it first!"

"What's wrong with you seeing it first? I stepped in first!"

"Ahhh! If you dare to steal my house, I will kill you!"

"Come on! Let's see who kills who first!"

"Wuwuwu, stop fighting, I'm so scared!"

"I'm scared too. Why is the fog so thick?"

"Afraid? What are you afraid of? Get up and have fun!"

Zhao Ping'an and Chu Peipei stood in the yard of their villa, listening to the chaotic shouting all around them and looking at each other.

Chu Peipei frowned: "What's wrong with these people? They're like crazy!"

Zhao Ping'an seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly found the gas masks he had stockpiled before the natural disaster.

While handing it to Chu Peipei, he said, "Put this on."

When Chu Peipei saw the gas mask, she immediately responded, "Do you think there's something wrong with this mist?"

Zhao Pingan: "Something is not right with the people around us, so we put it on just in case."

As he spoke, he came to Hu Cuilan and said, "Mom, put on your gas mask quickly."

Hu Cuilan took the mask and put it on her head while cursing:

"Damn it! These bastards only know how to quarrel! They are so annoying!"

When Zhao Ping'an heard what his mother said, his heart skipped a beat.

She hasn't sworn for a long time.

Since Chu Peipei treated her with acupuncture last time, her manic episodes had not recurred for a long time. But now it suddenly started again.

Zhao Pingan frowned. This sudden fog must have had an impact on people's nerves and emotions.

Hu Cuilan put on her mask and continued to curse. Her voice sounded muffled through the gas mask:

"Ouch! You little bastard, this crap is too tight on my face!"

"Damn it! After the heavy rain comes the drought, and after the high temperature comes the fog. It's really bad! The world might as well explode!"

"What a bad luck! An earthquake happened right after we moved into our new home. We had to move again after cleaning up the house with so much effort!"

As he was talking, he angrily smashed two cups.

Chu Peipei also noticed something was wrong: "Ping An, Aunt Hu is not in a good condition."

Aunt Hu never complained during the earthquake and the move, and was actively looking for a new house. Now that she has found a house and has moved almost all her belongings, why is she complaining for no reason?

Before Zhao Ping'an could say anything, several cages in the corner of the yard suddenly shook violently.

When the three of them were moving things, they had locked the poultry in cages to prevent them from running around. But now the chickens and rabbits were fighting each other inside.

Not to mention the chickens that usually like to peck each other, even the usually docile little white rabbits have become much more irritable.

Zhao Pingan glanced at the restless poultry, patiently comforted his mother, and then said to Chu Peipei:

"There must be something wrong with this fog. My mother and the owners only started to experience abnormalities after the fog became thicker."

Chu Peipei nodded, then asked in confusion: "But why aren't we affected?"

She touched her chest and felt that her emotions were very stable and she was not irritable at all.

Zhao Pingan thought for a few seconds: "Based on the current situation, this fog is not simply making people anxious, but amplifying the original emotions."

"Magnify emotions?"

The noises from the owners in the villa area quarreling continued to be heard.

Chu Peipei understood: "No wonder some people are angry, some are afraid and sad, and some are particularly excited..."

Zhao Pingan nodded: "Our emotions are just in a stable period, with almost no fluctuations - zero multiplied by any number, it's still zero."

Chu Peipei was a little scared: "Fortunately, we settled down before the fog came, otherwise I would definitely be as anxious as those people."

Hu Cuilan continued to curse.

The shaking of the cage became more and more intense.

Zhao Pingan sighed: "My mother has bipolar disorder, and this mist has magnified her suppressed bipolar disorder."

Chu Peipei: "Why don't we go into the house first? I'll give her acupuncture and she should be able to recover soon."

Zhao Pingan: "Alright. Although we are wearing gas masks, the specific composition of the mist is still unclear, so we should not stay outside for too long."

Originally, they planned to stay in the yard for one night, and then move back into the house tomorrow after confirming that there were no aftershocks. But now it is obviously more dangerous outside than inside the house.

Chu Peipei first took Hu Cuilan into the bridal chamber and gave her acupuncture to calm her down.

Zhao Ping'an took advantage of this time to move some important supplies such as food and fuel into the house.

The gate was locked, and half of the important items were placed in the yard and half in the house. This way, whether there was an earthquake or not, they would have a way to escape.

After half an hour of acupuncture, Hu Cuilan calmed down a lot.

Chu Peipei was removing the needle from her and whispered, "Fortunately, you didn't inhale much mist. Your body doesn't seem to have any major problems at the moment."

Hu Cuilan's tense nerves relaxed: "Thank you for your hard work."

Chu Peipei smiled and said, "It's not hard. We just take care of each other!"

Zhao Pingan breathed a sigh of relief: "I will move the experimental equipment in later to see if I can detect the specific composition of the mist. Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle."
