He Yidong first told Li Yan about the poisonous mushrooms, and then together with Li Yan, they informed Base Chief Wu.
When Wu, the base commander, learned that Fu Heng had said this, he dared not underestimate it and asked Zhou Yuan to use the loudspeaker to notify the people at the base to prevent them from accidentally eating it.
The group of people who had been shouting at the entrance of the base earlier ignored the loudspeaker announcement and continued picking mushrooms, seemingly worried that too many people would prevent them from picking any.
However, several men on the other side drank the mushroom soup, and a few hours later, they began to foam at the mouth, convulse, and die.
The man who hadn't gone mushroom picking with them went to their house to look for them, having not seen them all day.
He knocked on the door from the outside, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to open it. He wondered if something had happened.
So, with a determined heart, he pounded on the door, and after a few bangs, the door was finally forced open.
The man walked inside, but didn't see anyone, so he went into the room. He saw a man sleeping on the bed, called out to him a few times but got no response, so he went over and gently patted him.
He saw that the man was already foaming at the mouth and dead. He was startled at first, and then sat down on the ground in terror, screaming.
"Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"
Then the man got up and ran to another room.
The man beside the bed was also foaming at the mouth and had died on the floor.
The man then took a breath, got up and ran outside, shouting as he ran.
"Someone's dead! Someone's dead! Someone's dead on the fifth floor!"
The people living nearby heard the noise and all ran out.
Seeing the man shouting in panic, someone asked him a question.
"Young man, what did you just say? Someone's dead?"
The man looked at them in horror, pointed into the house, and said to them.
"Yes, someone is dead. Right inside."
The others entered the house and saw that the furnishings were complete. They first walked through the living room, then through the two bedroom doors, where they saw two men, one on the bed and the other on the floor.
They went inside and checked on the two men; both were dead, foaming at the mouth.
Woman A: "These two are really dead, what should we do now?"
Man B: "Let's hurry and notify the patrol team!"
Man C: "Yes, yes, let's go and notify the patrol team to come and see what's going on."
Then the group left the room, and seeing that the man was still there, they spoke to him.
"Young man, you wait here while we go and notify the patrol team."
After they finished speaking, they went downstairs to find the patrol team.
After Ye Yunxi and the others finished notifying everyone, they figured there was nothing else to do, so they all went home.
Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, and Xuan Yu returned home. Ye Yunxi turned to Fu Heng and asked him a question.
"Aheng, just now outside the base, you said that the mushrooms outside all came from your hometown. Do you know where these mushrooms actually came from?"
Fu Heng frowned, thought for a moment, and then said.
"I reckon there's only one person who could make Blue Star grow this Purple Star Lamp."
Ye Yunxi thought about it carefully.
"You mean that man named Yan Luo?"
"Yes, I think he came to Blue Star. Do you remember? We talked about snake eggs, insect eggs, mutated rats, and now the Purple Star Lamp. It was probably all his doing. Only he could have done all that."
"Do you know why he did that?"
Ye Yunxi continued to ask Fu Heng questions.
"I guess he's here to get revenge on me."
Fu Heng thought of the past and said to Ye Yunxi.
Xuan Yu listened for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. And who is Yanluo?"
Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi looked at him, and thinking that Xuan Yu was also family, they told him about Fu Heng's past.
Xuan Yu was furious after hearing this.
"Yan Luo is no good person. When I run into him, I'm going to beat him up."
They didn't take Xuan Yu's words to heart. Ye Yunxi seemed to have thought of something and looked at Fu Heng, asking...
"Aheng, if someone eats this mushroom, is there any way to detoxify it?"
Fu Heng shook his head. "There is no antidote for the Purple Star Lamp on our planet. Anyone who eats the Purple Star Lamp is doomed to die."
Ye Yunxi thought of those people at the base entrance earlier. If they insisted on picking the Purple Star Lanterns and ate them, they would truly only face certain death.
Although their lives and deaths were none of her concern, if someone had done it intentionally, she couldn't help but intervene. After all, if humanity were to perish, there would be no trace of humans left on this blue planet.
Fu Heng saw that her brows were furrowed and told her with a smile.
"We can only accept this situation as it is; all we can do is stop the people at the base from eating the Purple Star Lamp."
Okay, let's not think about that anymore. I'll ask Minyu about it tomorrow. Let's eat now; I'm a little hungry. You need to be well-fed to help others, right?
When Xuan Yu heard about food, he chimed in.
"I'm hungry too, Sister Yunxi. Let's eat first, and then we can talk."
Hearing Fu Heng and Xuan Yu say this, Ye Yunxi stopped thinking about other things. Actually, she was also a little hungry.
She took out food from her spatial storage and ate with Fu Hengxuanyu.
They had only eaten half of their meal when Fu Heng's phone rang. It was Li Yan calling.
Fu Heng answered the phone. "Hello, what's wrong, Captain Li?"
Li Yan: "Fu boy, the mushroom you were talking about earlier is called Purple Star Lantern, right? Some people at the base ate it, and several of them have already died. Do you know if there's an antidote for Purple Star Lantern?"
Fu Heng replied, “In my hometown, there is no antidote for this Purple Star Lamp. Anyone who eats it will only wait to die. But the only thing we can do is remind the people at the base not to pick and eat Purple Star Lamps indiscriminately.”
When Li Yan heard that there was no antidote for the mushroom, he paused for a moment, then spoke to Fu Heng.
"Okay, I understand. I will report this to Chief Wu."
After exchanging a few words with Li Yan, Fu Heng hung up the phone.
Ye Yunxi knew without asking that Li Yan had called to ask about the antidote. Then, remembering something else, she spoke to Fu Heng.
"Aheng, we haven't gone to Grandpa Lu's house to talk about this yet. I'm worried..."
Fu Heng comforted Ye Yunxi. "We'll go to the Lu family later."
Ye Yunxi nodded. Having spent time with the Lu family, she already knew how good Old Master Lu was. She also wanted to inform them if something happened at the base.
After they finished eating, they checked the time and it was already past nine o'clock at night. They wondered if the Lu family was asleep yet.
Fu Heng noticed her confusion and said to her.
"We might as well go to the Lu family first and see. If they are really asleep, we can come again tomorrow morning. If they are not asleep, we can tell the Lu family about the Purple Star Lamp."
Ye Yunxi sighed. "I should have asked the Lu family for a contact number earlier. But it seems I have no choice but to go to the Lu family first."
(I haven't had time to write these past two days, so I'll just update one chapter from my inventory each day for now, and two chapters after the May Day holiday!)
