Chapter 301 Being a Guest
Annan frowned slightly and a pistol appeared in his hand.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the man's back: "What are you doing?!"
The man was startled and turned around immediately. Seeing that it was Annan, he raised his hand hurriedly:
"I, Jiang Mengqiu, we've met before! I mean no harm, don't shoot!"
Annan saw her face clearly and it was indeed that popular young actress.
Stars are stars. Even if they are not wearing any makeup and their complexion is a bit dull, they still look good.
Perhaps it was the fog that affected her, as she was being pointed at with a gun, she was so frightened that tears streamed down her face while she was talking, and her whole body was shaking.
Annan stared at her and asked, "What are you doing at someone else's door?"
Jiang Mengqiu quickly explained, "I moved next door to your friend. I saw their belongings piled up in the yard and wanted to remind them."
After a pause, he continued, "You know, many people's homes have collapsed and they are short of supplies. I mean well..."
An Nan didn't believe she would be so kind. This person had always had a bad reputation, and she had seen with her own eyes how she had interfered in Wei Yang's marriage, so the rumors were not groundless.
Seeing that the other party was holding a gun and not saying anything, Jiang Mengqiu finally couldn't help crying: "Wuwuwu, I really don't mean any harm, please don't kill me!"
She cried with tears in her eyes and rubbed her hands together begging for mercy.
Annan still pointed the gun at her: "Go back to your own home."
Jiang Mengqiu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that she was allowed to leave. She nodded while sobbing, "Okay, I'll leave now."
Before leaving, he looked at Gu Zhiyu with a pitiful look.
She looked so delicate and charming at that glance, and I felt pity for her.
Gu Zhiyu frowned: "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Mengqiu: ...
After watching her return to her villa, Annan looked at Gu Zhiyu with a half-smile and raised his eyebrows and said:
"A straight man who doesn't understand romance?"
Gu Zhiyu corrected him: "He is a loyal husband who keeps himself clean."
Annan burst out laughing: "Well done, husband."
Gu Zhiyu held her hand and asked, "What's the reward?"
Annan: "It's a man's duty, there is no reward."
Gu Zhiyu: "Then I'll pick it up myself tonight."
"What?"
“Reward.”
Although he couldn't see Gu Zhiyu's specific expression clearly through the gas mask, Annan somehow felt that he must be smiling with ill intentions.
So he rolled his eyes at him and said, "Put away those thoughts of yours."
Gu Zhiyu: “What’s your idea?”
Annan: "The idea of getting beaten."
Then he ignored him and shouted towards the yard.
After I called out twice, Chu Peipei came out: "Nannan!"
She opened the gate and pulled Annan into the house: "Come in quickly."
Annan and Gu Zhiyu entered the house.
The lobby on the first floor has been cleaned up by Chu Peipei and Hu Cuilan.
Annan took off his mask and looked around: "Where is Zhao Ping'an?"
Hu Cuilan replied: "I am doing experiments in the back room."
As he said this, he invited Annan and Gu Zhiyu to sit on the sofa.
Chu Peipei held Annan's hand and said, "I see you two came here wearing gas masks. Did you also find that the mist was abnormal?"
also?
Annan looked at her: "Did you find out too?"
Chu Peipei nodded: "Aunt Hu was ill yesterday, and Xiaobai and the other poultry were not in good condition either."
An Nan turned to look at Hu Cuilan: "Aunt Hu, are you okay?"
Hu Cuilan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Pepe gave me acupuncture yesterday and I'm back to normal."
Annan nodded: "That's good."
Then he took out three gas masks and two walkie-talkies from his backpack and handed them to them.
"I'm here to give you this. If you need to go out, remember to wear a gas mask to avoid being affected by the mist and doing something irrational."
In the last days, people's hearts are restless. In the previous life, many people who were mentally fragile were affected by the fog and committed suicide.
Hu Cuilan waved her hand and pointed to a shelf in the distance, on which were several gas masks:
"No need. We have gas masks. Pepe heard your voice just now and left in a hurry, so she didn't bring her own."
Annan glanced over there and felt relieved: "Then I'll leave the walkie-talkie to you. This way it will be convenient for us to communicate."
This time, Hu Cuilan didn't hesitate to thank him and accepted the gift.
After all, they are a small group that helps each other, so it is important to keep in touch and share information. In case of any emergencies, they can inform each other and warn each other.
As they were talking, Zhao Pingan came out of the room and was very happy to see them: "My idol! Brother Gu! You are here!"
Gu Zhiyu nodded to him as a greeting.
Annan looked at him and asked, "Are you doing an experiment?"
Zhao Pingan: "Yes, I took some samples of the mist and did a brief study. I found that it actually contained methylhexanamine, ephedrine and other complex ingredients that can stimulate psychoactivity."
"However, the ingredients are too complex to be fully analyzed. I took a few rabbits for experiments, and it seems that as long as the inhalation amount is small and stopped in time, the rabbits can return to normal. But if they inhale large amounts for a long time, I am afraid it will cause permanent damage to the nerves."
"As for how long this long period is, it is still unclear because the experimental time is limited."
Permanent injury?
Annan thought about it and realized that after experiencing a period of heavy fog in her previous life, she did suffer from frequent migraines, and her emotional state was not as stable as before. She would feel anxious and depressed from time to time.
But she thought it was a normal emotion under the high pressure of life in the apocalypse.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Gas masks are useful, right?"
At least in the last life, the gas mask was robbed and broken. And this time, she and Gu Zhiyu wore gas masks and did not feel any strange emotional fluctuations.
Zhao Pingan replied: "This is the focus of my experiment."
Everyone present looked at him seriously.
But Zhao Pingan continued, "Gas masks can only provide 90% protection and cannot completely block all harmful substances."
Annan frowned: "So, even if we have gas masks, we still have to go out as little as possible?"
Zhao Pingan nodded: "Yes."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavy.
But Annan wasn't too worried. After all, in her last life, she didn't even have a gas mask, but she still survived.
So he smiled and comforted Aunt Hu and the others: "We don't need to be too pessimistic. Maybe this fog will dissipate soon."
Gu Zhiyu also spoke up, "Everything will work out when the time comes."
As they were all people who had been tempered by the end of the world for two or three years, the other three quickly adjusted their moods.
Hu Cuilan also warmly invited: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat first. Nan Nan and Xiao Gu, please stay and eat with us!"
Annan and Gu Zhiyu immediately declined.
After all, it was difficult to find supplies during the fog period, and Aunt Hu and her friends had limited food, so they tried to save as much as possible.
