Chapter 79 Mutant animals are not edible, but I've already eaten them!
The Wang family is indeed formidable, and the Shen family's bodyguards are no pushovers either; they've managed to keep them safe and sound and refuse to leave.
Lin Muyan simply doesn't believe that no one is "protecting" the Wang family.
Shen Shiqiu and his wife would naturally not welcome the Wang family, so there is only one possibility left: Shen Jiaojiao is mediating on behalf of the Wang family. What is she thinking?
In fact, the Wang family has been causing trouble at the entrance of Lin Muyan's safe house every day these past few days.
I also tried to climb over the wall, for example, by using a non-conductive ladder or wearing electrician's clothes and gloves, but all of them ended in failure.
Either the two guard dogs were too fierce and Wang Defa and his son chickened out, or Lin Xiao got the property management to kick them out.
On another occasion, Wang Defa had just peeked over the wall and was about to successfully climb over when Lin's parents brought a hoe used for farming and stabbed him in the forehead, knocking him down and causing him to fall hard on his backside.
In fact, the weapons that come with the safe house are very intimidating. The walls not only have electric fences, but also various hidden small weapons, enough to make the entire Wang family lie dead outside the walls.
But Lin Xiao didn't do that, not out of respect for the Wang family or because he was unwilling to kill them, but because the end of the world hadn't come yet and there were still many constraints at this time.
With the best resources used wisely, there's no need to expose the safe house's attack system when dealing with a few paper tigers like the Wang family.
The Wang family had no other choice but to blackmail Shen Jiaojiao.
Wang Defa was a seasoned veteran, while Shen Jiaojiao was too young and no match for him.
“Good niece, it’s not that we want to stay here, it’s just that Lin Muyan is too arrogant. My sister and brother-in-law are not very capable and are easily influenced. They will only quarrel with Mom and Dad for a few days and then calm down. It must be that little bitch Lin Muyan who won’t let us in.”
"But I'm not one to be trifled with. Don't worry, give us a few more days, and I'll definitely be able to break into the Lin family's house!"
“If you don’t let us stay a few more days, I’ll keep my mouth shut, but my brat and his wife might not be so discreet. What if your rich parents find out…”
Wang Defa used threats and inducements, and Shen Jiaojiao, knowing the Wang family's character, dared not act rashly.
She dared not gamble. What if her father and mother found out about her past and became disgusted with her?
You should know that after she returned to the Shen family, she had been intentionally or unintentionally instilling in her parents the false impression that the Lin family had abused her. A large part of the reason why her parents now deeply resent the Lin family is because of her deliberate actions.
There's no turning back now. She's determined to get Lin Muyan's house, so she has no choice but to conspire with someone like Wang Defa, who has no moral bottom line, to deal with Lin Muyan.
Lin Muyan was half-convinced that this matter was related to Shen Jiaojiao, so when she saw Mrs. Shen tag her in the message, she simply ignored it.
After closing the chat interface of the owners' group, Lin Muyan opened other chat groups.
These groups were all joined when she was still with the Shen family, including class groups, alumni groups, and some social groups for wealthy families. Her nickname in these groups was still "Shen Muyan".
For Lin Muyan, she may never have any further contact with these people again.
She had hesitated before, wondering whether to click in and see what everyone was talking about. She was sure they would be gossiping about her, and she didn't want to see any news that would upset her.
But now she doesn't seem to care that much anymore; instead, she's a little curious about what they're all doing now.
The university class group chat was buzzing with activity. Whether they were working professionals or graduate students, none of them had gone out due to the extreme weather.
"This weather is so weird! I only prepared one thick down jacket for winter, but it's completely useless."
"When has S City ever experienced temperatures below minus thirty degrees Celsius? The coldest I can remember is never below minus ten degrees Celsius."
"What's minus thirty degrees? Come to our village and try it. Minus forty degrees is commonplace. You've been frozen like this by such a low temperature. I've heard that the end of the world is coming. You'll be frozen into ice sculptures then."
The boy in this village is named Wang Qiang, the same name as his cousin Wang. Lin Muyan can only say that the name is too common, how could she run into him?
“Wang Qiang, don’t exaggerate. You’re a top student, how can you believe something like this?”
Wang Qiang cursed and swore through the screen, then posted several photos with the caption:
“My house is right on the edge of the woods. This photo was taken a few days ago when I was shooting birds in the woods. Considering this weird weather, I’ve already stocked up on supplies and am just staying home. Believe it or not.”
Lin Muyan's eyes darkened, and she quickly clicked on the picture Wang Qiang sent. What she saw almost made her eyes pop out.
In the pristine forest, dozens of animal carcasses of various sizes lay scattered about, along with a magnified close-up of a wild pheasant. Although it was completely dead, its eyes were bloodshot, giving it a very eerie appearance.
[It has mutated, but there's a chance it will lead to sudden death or transformation into a zombie-like mindless creature. Not all creatures can withstand mutation; those that survive are true champions.]
[As expected, before a major disaster, there are countless signs that foreshadow the impending catastrophe. These animals have all died suddenly from the mutation, but anyone who has eaten these mutated animals or humans will be infected and may very well turn into a zombie. Wang Qiang's family will probably fall soon.]
It seems that hiding deep in the mountains and forests isn't safe either. Although cities have many people, at least there are fewer animals. But if someone lives like Wang Qiang's family, right on the edge of a wild forest, what if some wild beasts in the woods mutate? That would be even more terrifying than humanoid zombies.
Lin Muyan stared at the chat interface on her phone while reading the comments, her heart pounding with fear and her mind reeling.
Mutated animals should not be eaten, otherwise you will get infected.
If so many animal carcasses are eaten by other animals around Wang Qiang's woods, wouldn't the mutation spread rapidly?
She took a deep breath, not daring to think about what would happen next, and quickly sent a private message to Wang Qiang.
Although she hadn't had much interaction with Wang Qiang before, now that she knew, it was always good to remind him.
Besides, she was also curious to know whether it would be as the comments on the screen suggested.
Lin Muyan opened the chat interface and quickly edited and sent the message.
Lin Muyan: [Wang Qiang, you'd better get away from that forest immediately, and definitely don't go near those animal carcasses.]
Wang Qiang was leisurely scrolling through his phone while lying on his wooden bed. He had stocked up on a lot of food in his cellar, so getting through the winter wouldn't be a problem.
When Wang Qiang saw the private message Lin Muyan sent him, his eyes widened instantly, and he jumped up from the bed.
Wang Qiang: [Goddess? You're Shen Muyan? Oh my god, Mom, I'm so proud of myself! The goddess of our class messaged me!]
Lin Muyan: "..."
What time is it? Stop trying to be clever.
Lin Muyan: [Stop fooling around, listen to me, those animals are dangerous, don't go near them, and definitely don't eat them.]
Wang Qiang was still immersed in the excitement of his goddess taking the initiative to chat with him, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, and replied to Lin Muyan with a grin.
Wang Qiang: [Yes, Goddess, I obey! Goddess, I absolutely won't... No, wait, I've already eaten them! Goddess, you don't know how delicious those pheasants were. They were all-natural and pollution-free, and they were freshly dead.]
Lin Muyan: !!!
[You're so brave, when did you eat?]
Lin Muyan was secretly anxious. Although Wang Qiang was not related to her, they were classmates. This kid was too carefree.
The barrage of comments was in complete chaos!
[He's ruthless. Eating mutated plants and animals will definitely lead to infection; dying suddenly would be the best-case scenario. The most terrifying thing is becoming neither human nor monster, completely zombified. This kid is most likely doomed.]
[Let's sympathize with him and light a candle for him...]
