Chapter 299 Spreading the News
Thinking of the human experiments that Xie Yi mentioned, Xia Xiaoman's eyes darkened.
"You just said you heard the monster calling your name. If you didn't see the monster, whose voice do you think it was?" Xia Xiaoman looked at Wang Kai.
Wang Kai thought for a moment and said, "Boss, who can tell? His facial features were deformed by the tumor, and it was as if he had something in his mouth when he spoke. It took me a long time to realize that someone was calling me."
Hearing this, Xia Xiaoman asked again: "What about looking at the body shape? Can you tell who the other person is by looking at the body shape?"
Wang Kai shook his head. “I didn’t look closely. The monster was so scary that I lost half my soul. How could I remember his figure?”
"Then you should know whether there is anyone you know missing!" Xia Xiaoman rubbed his wrist.
Wang Kai saw her attitude and his mind was spinning rapidly. He thought for a long time before saying, "It seems that someone is missing. He used to ask me to steal... and to have dinner with him, but I haven't seen him in this period of time."
Wang Kai was not stupid. Hearing Xia Xiaoman's question, he probably knew something and asked tentatively, "Boss, you don't think that monster is my brother, do you?"
Xia Xiaoman ignored him and continued to ask, "Is your friend single and homeless?"
Wang Kai nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, he is lazier than me. At least I got a piece of rag to build a shed, but he can just find a piece of ground to sleep."
Xia Xiaoman touched his chin thoughtfully. According to what Wang Kai said, everything was right. Wang Kai's friend was probably captured by the laboratory. Later, his friend managed to escape and met Wang Kai sleeping in a roadside shed on the way.
The friend knew that the laboratory specifically captured single men and women like them, so when he saw Wang Kai sleeping carelessly on the street, he kindly woke him up and let him escape from the floating city.
As for whether the friend had escaped or was caught by the people in the laboratory, Xia Xiaoman could not guess. But what she was sure of now was that Xie Yi should not have lied, and there were indeed people in Fucheng doing human experiments.
Coming back to her senses, she looked at Wang Kai, "It's useless for you to stay here with me. If that monster wants to kill you, it can easily find you by smelling you. I advise you to run away!"
"Boss, you have high combat power, and that monster is definitely no match for you. Just let me stay here, I can help you with any work."
Xia Xiaoman didn't dare to leave Wang Kai here. If the people in the laboratory found out that Wang Kai had contact with the escaped experimental subject, she would also be in trouble.
"Just get out if you tell me to. If you don't, I'll kill you! If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself."
If you try, you will die. Wang Kai doesn't have the guts. "Boss, how about this? I don't live in your house, but I live next to your wall. Is that ok?"
"No! I don't want to see you within a ten-mile radius. I say it again, either get out or die!" Xia Xiaoman said with a cold face.
Wang Kai saw that there was really no room for negotiation, so he left unwillingly. However, he did not go far, but hid behind a house. If he encountered a monster, he could climb over the wall and hide in someone else's house.
…
On the other side, after Wang Kai left, Xia Xiaoman took out a trap and set it in the yard.
Before, Chen Peiqiong had to come to the fields every day to take care of them, so it was inconvenient for her to set too many traps. Now that Chen Peiqiong has resigned, she can set up the traps however she wants. After setting up the traps, she felt a little relieved.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed. Xie Yi's wounds had healed a lot, and he planned to leave for the north to complete his mission. Before leaving, he went to find Li Yu'e.
"You said you would help me before, how?"
Li Yu'e put down the work in her hands, took out a snakeskin bag and threw it to him, "Each leaf in it has a small hole. These small holes connected together form a sentence. Take a look for yourself!"
Xie Yi opened the snakeskin bag and took out a leaf to look at it. There were many small holes on the leaf made of wire. When these small holes were connected, it was easy to make out that it was a sentence. The sentence was "Conducting human experiments in the floating city".
Li Yu'e continued, "It's impossible to ask my people to take risks and spread the news, but you can take this bag of leaves and scatter them everywhere. This is better than spreading the news yourself."
These leaves are all cassava leaves. Nowadays, every household grows cassava, so it is difficult to search on them. Moreover, the words on the cassava leaves are formed by small holes made of iron wire, so it is impossible to find them by handwriting search.
She was not afraid that no one would pick up the leaves. Supplies were scarce, but leaves were also good things. Softer leaves could be used as toilet paper, and rougher leaves could be picked up and used as fertilizer. As long as someone picked them up, they would definitely see the words on them.
Xie Yi also thought of this. He looked at Li Yu'e solemnly and said, "Mr. Li, thank you very much. If the laboratory can be successfully eradicated, I will definitely report what you have done and help you get some rewards."
Li Yu'e waved her hand and said, "We'll talk about these things when you come back alive!"
If she didn't have connections in the military, she wouldn't bother getting involved in this mess.
…
Xie Yi walked around the camp with the big snakeskin bag. Whenever he saw people, he would scatter a handful of leaves over there, or he would throw them into other people's yards one by one, just like handing out flyers.
Before he had finished distributing the leaflets, Xie Yi was being chased. He scattered leaves while fleeing. When he had scattered all the leaves, he immediately ran out of the floating city, circled around several mountains, and headed north.
On the other side, many people in the garrison picked up the leaves that Xie Yi had dropped. After seeing the contents on the leaves, they didn't believe it at first. There was no disease or disaster in Fucheng, so why did they conduct human experiments?
Later, someone said that a bachelor he knew had not appeared for a long time, and someone else said that an orphan who often played with his children was also missing. Only then did people realize that people would disappear from the floating city garrison every now and then.
The news of the human experiments spread more and more widely, and Li Yu'e asked her subordinates to deliberately guide outsiders to discuss the characteristics of the missing persons. Those single men and women and orphans began to travel together to avoid unexpected events.
At this critical moment, the people in the laboratory did not dare to continue arresting people, and the public security in the floating city improved a lot for a while.
But Li Yu'e and Xia Xiaoman, who knew the inside story, knew very well that the seemingly safe floating city was actually undercurrents. It all depended on whether Xie Yi could successfully complete the mission.
At the same time, the school founded by Li Yu'e officially opened. She spent a lot of points to buy a piece of residential land nearby, built a simple classroom with a shed, and planned to repair it with mud bricks when she had time.
On the first day of school, Xia Xiaoman went to take a look. Although the classroom was very simple, the teacher's teaching level was quite good, and he was indeed a professional.
Just as they were reading with great interest, a man rushed in, grabbed a little girl's arm and walked out without saying a word. The children's reading aloud was instantly interrupted.
