Chapter 40 They died, she lived.
"Brother, look at me, I'm pregnant. It's not really appropriate for all of you to attack me at once. Why don't you discuss who goes first and who goes last, one at a time? I promise to cooperate!"
While saying disgusting and nauseating things, Zuo Shan winked at each of the three men.
She should have flirted at this point, but unfortunately, having been single for 25 years, she simply doesn't know how.
Upon hearing this, the burly man in the lead immediately perked up: "What's there to discuss? Of course, I'll go first! You two, keep watch for me, and while you're at it, play rock-paper-scissors, the winner goes first."
Although the two were somewhat reluctant, they still nodded in agreement. One of them even said, "Brother Qiangzi, be gentle. Don't hurt him so badly that it'll be hard for the brothers to bite him."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Brother Qiangzi said with a smile.
Zuo Shan dragged two burlap sacks and walked first into the bushes dozens of meters away. When she passed by earlier, she tested a mutated shepherd's purse, but unfortunately the whole plant was highly radioactive.
But next to the mutated shepherd's purse, she found several beautiful red berries. Upon testing, two of them were found to be moderately radioactive and edible.
This fruit is the fruit of the yew tree. Except for the fruit pulp, which is non-toxic, the bark, needles, and seeds of the yew tree are highly poisonous. If ingested, it can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, paralysis, and even death.
She heard this from her freshman year military training, when they were running with weights in the wild. When they passed a yew tree, they were attracted by its beautiful fruit. Some girls wanted to reach out and pick it, so the instructor made everyone stop and specifically explained its harmful effects.
This is a mutated yew tree, with fruits as big as apples. Previous tests on the fruit indicated that other parts of it were highly poisonous, so hopefully the poison will take effect quickly.
Zuo Shan slowly walked to the yew tree, casually picked a few large shepherd's purse leaves, spread them on the ground, and then inadvertently used a dry stick to rake away a few needles that she had accidentally cut off while inspecting the fruit.
Then she sat on the shepherd's purse leaves and said to Brother Qiangzi with a fawning look, "Brother, do you prefer the top or the bottom?"
Qiangzi was overjoyed. He had thought this woman would resist fiercely, but he didn't expect her to be so slutty and proactive!
"I'm tired of playing up there, so how about you do me a favor today? I'll lie down and you come up and serve me?" Brother Qiangzi grinned lewdly.
"Okay! But I'm shy, could you please close your eyes first, brother?" Zuo Shan's voice became more and more charming, something she had learned from palace dramas.
Qiangzi closed his eyes, and Zuo Shan quickly grabbed a small shepherd's purse leaf, wrapped it around two yew needles, and squeezed out the juice.
Then she leaned down close to Qiangzi, and the woman's warm and rapid breathing made Qiangzi's blood boil, and he completely relaxed his guard.
Zuo Shan extended a finger and gently stroked Qiangzi's lips. He immediately opened his mouth, wanting to take her finger in. Zuo Shan took the opportunity to drip the yew sap she had just squeezed out into his mouth.
He didn't have time to dodge and swallowed it directly.
The bitter taste set off his alarm bells, and he immediately opened his eyes to look at her, only to see her holding two beautiful red berries and offering them to him.
"Big brother, I just got two edible wild fruits. Shall we each eat one quietly?"
The initial wariness was drawn to the two bright red fruits. Qiangzi, still somewhat cautious, said, "Test them first, and I'll see if they're edible!"
Zuo Shan took out a testing knife in front of him, cut a small opening in the fruit, and sure enough, an announcement came through: "Beep! Moderately radioactive wild fruit detected. It can be picked, but it is recommended to eat it in small quantities! However..."
The left fan immediately shut down the detection blade, preventing it from broadcasting the next sentence: "However, its pit and other parts are highly poisonous. Please be extremely careful when collecting it and never touch it."
Please note that when eating, you should remove the pulp separately.
Upon hearing that it was edible, Qiangzi immediately grabbed it and swallowed it in a few bites. Wasteland residents always cherish food and rarely spit out the pits when eating wild fruits.
Qiangzi was in a hurry to relieve his anger and didn't have the patience to separate the fruit pit, so he swallowed it whole.
He licked his lips contentedly, then lay down again, urging her, "Hurry up, or those two will get impatient."
"Okay, I'm coming!" Zuo Shan held the testing knife in one hand, ready to use it to kill if the poison hadn't taken effect yet.
Qiangzi looked up at the shade of the trees overhead and felt that the sunlight filtering through the gaps seemed particularly dazzling, even though it was already afternoon. It shouldn't be like this!
Suddenly, his vision blurred, and then he felt a tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing.
I vaguely heard the woman's panicked cries: "Help! Help! Brother Qiang has been poisoned!"
When the two rushed over, they saw Qiangzi lying under the shade of a tree, kicking his limbs and foaming at the mouth.
One of them stepped forward and grabbed Zuo Shan by the collar, saying, "Tell me, what poison did you give him? Quickly hand over the antidote!"
Antidote? Zuo Shan couldn't help but scoff inwardly. The poison of the yew tree was incurable; where would an antidote come from!
Zuo Shan trembled and shook, timidly protesting, "It wasn't me! It really wasn't me! If I had poisoned him, I would have disappeared by now, right?"
When we arrived here, Qiangzi saw that the red berries on the tree were very pretty, so he asked me to test them. After I tested them, I found that two of them had moderate radiation. Qiangzi said that he would eat one first and give me the other one.
I didn't want to eat it; I wanted to save it and take it home to eat tomorrow. But I never expected that he would do something wrong as soon as he ate it..."
As Zuo Shan spoke, he carefully picked up another fruit that had fallen next to Qiangzi's head and examined it again in front of the two of them.
The two men were skeptical. One of them pointed at the left fan and said, "It was clearly tested and was safe to eat, so why did Brother Qiang get poisoned after eating it?"
"Could he have allergies?" Zuo Shan blinked and asked.
“I don’t believe it! You eat it now!” another person said, pointing at the left fan.
Zuo Shan picked up the fruit, ate the flesh in front of them, spat out the pit, and then screamed, "I know! The pit must be poisonous!"
A man immediately squatted down, wrapped the fruit pit in a leaf, and asked Zuo Shan to test it again. Zuo Shan, holding a testing knife, unexpectedly aimed it at the man's neck and pressed the switch.
With a "splat!" sound, a line of blood was instantly slashed open on the man's neck, and his left hand was splattered with blood all over his face.
The next second, while the other man was still stunned, she shouted, "Xiao Bao, kill him!"
Little Bao inside the backpack was already itching to get out of there, but Zuo Shan kept calming it down and preventing it from doing anything.
Because she had to be absolutely certain of success, otherwise, if these three men attacked together, she and Xiaobao would have no chance against them.
Xiao Bao jumped out of the backpack and slammed his panda paw down hard on the man's head.
In his haste, the man tilted his head to dodge, but the palm still landed squarely on his shoulder.
Xiao Bao's palm strike was extremely powerful, instantly shattering the man's shoulder blade. He grimaced in pain, but he was a desperate man who had experienced many dangerous things.
When he discovered that Xiao Bao was just a cub, he immediately endured the pain and swung his other fist at Xiao Bao, trying to kill it with one blow.
Xiao Bao rolled away in a flash and quickly climbed up the tall bushes next to him. The usually chubby and cute creature was incredibly agile when it came to escaping for its life.
Seeing that his two companions were dead and he himself was seriously injured, the man knew he had met his match.
The three of them were just a motley crew, so he naturally had no interest in avenging the other two. He turned around and ran away.
Zuo Shan quickly caught up, opened the detection knife, and in a sprinting-to-the-finish position, lunged forward, aiming the detection knife at one of his ankles. With a "snap," the ankle and his right foot were severed.
The man let out a piercing scream, and scavengers passing by nearby heard the scream and hurried away.
Wasteland residents don't have any sense of justice, and no one will call 110 for you. When something like this happens, they'll just stay far away.
Zuo Shan was now in a bloodthirsty rage, so he decided to go all the way and slashed the man's neck, ending his sinful life.
All three of them died, but she survived!
