Chapter 73 The Truth 1
The four of them carried Yu Qingchuan and ran all the way.
Only after they left the back mountain did Jiang Zhan remove the spiritual barrier around the four people.
"Cheng Sinian?" Yu Qingchuan saw the faces of the four people clearly, but he only recognized Cheng Sinian.
Cheng Sinian laughed as he ran, "Wow, you have a good memory. Long time no see, Doctor Yu."
As Dr. Yu's adopted son, Yu Qingchuan has taken Dr. Yu as his role model since he was a child. He has studied medicine with Dr. Yu diligently. At a young age, he has become the director of the infectious disease department of H City Central Hospital.
He had exchanged studies with Cheng Sinian's S City First Hospital many times.
The two had dinner together because of the introduction of Cheng Sinian's mentor Kang Cong.
"Yes, it's been a long time. Thank you for saving me." Yu Qingchuan's voice was warm and sincere.
"Wait..." Seeing the four people running towards the village, Yu Qingchuan frowned slightly, subconsciously holding his breath, and said urgently: "We can't go back to the village! There are carnivorous plants in the village!"
Qiao Yu and the other three did not stop.
Cheng Sinian laughed and said, "Don't worry, we have destroyed the flower."
Yu Qingchuan was stunned when he heard this. Seeing that they didn't seem to be joking, he took a tentative breath.
That barbecue smell is really gone.
The four of them carried Yu Qingchuan and ran directly back to the house where they were temporarily staying.
Deng Minglang's health has improved a lot, and he is now keeping watch in the yard with Deng Changyu.
When the two saw Qiao Yu and his men bringing back an injured stranger, they immediately stepped forward to help. "Boss Qiao, we still have some unused medicine. Do you want to bring it over?"
No more questions asked.
"No, we still have some medicine here. You can keep it as a backup." Qiao Yu shook his head. "We will be on guard tonight. You can go back and rest."
Deng Minglang had a guilty look on his face. "Boss Qiao, how about we keep watch tonight? We've already caused you a lot of trouble these past two days..."
"Don't overthink it." Qiao Yu thought for a moment and decided to put it in a way they could accept. "We have some things to deal with tonight, so we need you to stay away. Go back to your room and sleep, and lock the door. No matter what noise you hear, don't come out."
There is a jade vine outside the door, and if someone comes, Qiao Yu will know immediately.
Those villagers probably won't be coming back tonight.
Even if they suddenly came back, the disabled members of the Lin family would be of little use. It would be better to rest and recuperate.
Deng Minglang nodded after hearing this and said seriously, "Okay, Boss Qiao. Then we won't make any more trouble and will go back to the house first."
"Um."
When Qiao Yu saw them go back to the house and lock the door, he turned around and ran a few steps, first going to their house to put all the things that did not belong in the house, such as the sleeping cabin, mattress, integrated shower room, etc. into the space, leaving only a mountaineering bag outside for show.
Then he let Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen help Yu Qingchuan into the house.
Cheng Sinian pretended to take out medicine and bandages from his backpack and helped Yu Qingchuan clean the wound.
Then he took out a bottle of ordinary mineral water from his "mountaineering bag" and put it in Yu Qingchuan's hand.
Yu Qingchuan was slightly startled when he saw the unopened lid. He licked the corner of his dry lips and asked, "Give me all this water..."
Cheng Sinian nodded, "Yes, it's all yours, drink it."
"Thanks!"
Yu Qingchuan thanked him and impatiently brought the water to his lips, sipping it in small sips. His face was filled with excitement.
But after drinking only one-fifth of it, he was reluctant to drink any more.
He screwed the cap on the bottle tightly and carefully put it into the large pocket of his down vest, holding it tightly with his hand, afraid that it would fall out accidentally.
Cheng Sinian didn't say anything when he saw this. He just introduced them to Yu Qingchuan one by one: "This is Jiang Zhan, this is Qiao Yu, and this is Luo Zhenzhen. The four of us are together."
Yu Qingchuan nodded to the three of them and said, "Nice to meet you."
He had heard of Jiang Zhan's name. He was the CEO of the Jiang Group.
It's just that he didn't pay much attention to business news before, so his understanding of Jiang Zhan was limited to his name.
"Doctor Yu, aren't you... cold?" Luo Zhenzhen watched from the side for a long time, trying to hold back, but couldn't help it and asked the question in her heart in a low voice.
The man in front of him was only wearing a down vest and ripped jeans, with his arms and legs completely exposed.
Although mutants should be resistant to extreme weather like aliens, they still have a sense of temperature.
It was minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, and he was bare-armed and bare-footed, so his feet were frozen red.
She felt cold just looking at it.
"A little, but there's nothing I can do." Yu Qingchuan smiled gently, his tone a little helpless. "The main reason is that when I change my form, my arms, clothes, and shoes will be torn."
Luo Zhenzhen suddenly realized.
Oh, yes, he's a mutant.
Cheng Sinian felt sad when he heard this.
He had no idea how many clothes he had burned because of his wasteful fire ability.
Qiao Yu's mind was now preoccupied with the question of the flower's growth rate. He didn't want to waste time talking and simply asked, "Mr. Yu, excuse me, how much do you know about that mutant flower?"
"All of them." Yu Qingchuan's face was calm, and he was not surprised by Qiao Yu's question. "Are you here to investigate the cause of death of those soldiers?"
Ever since Cheng Sinian said they had destroyed the plant, he knew these four people would definitely ask something.
But... who are they?
Isn't Cheng Sinian a doctor? Why is he investigating this matter?
Who hired you?
A series of questions flashed through Yu Qingchuan's mind, but he never expected that as soon as he spoke, Qiao Yu looked confused.
"Soldiers?" Qiao Yu frowned. "Are you saying that an army had been here before? And was it devoured by that mutant flower plant?"
No wonder there are so many military trucks parked in the back mountain.
"?" Yu Qingchuan was stunned. "Aren't you here to investigate this matter?"
“…”
Talking at cross purposes.
"No." Qiao Yu was a little helpless, but still explained: "I just want to know why the mutant plant grows so fast."
Yu Qingchuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
I hope they're not sent by the military.
If the person was sent by the military to investigate, once the truth was revealed, my father would likely become the target of public criticism.
"Ms. Qiao, I just heard you mention the words 'growth rate' and 'devouring.' I'm not sure how much you know, but the fact that you can think of this must mean you understand the basic growth principles of mutant plants. That's right, they grow by devouring living people. That plant devoured an entire army."
When Qiao Yu heard this, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally felt relieved a little.
Just like in the previous life, there is no other substance that can speed up the growth of mutant plants.
But...an army of more than 10,000 people came to Dama Village?
Why would the military send so many people?
Even if Dr. Yu was here, there wouldn't be so many people coming...
There was some doubt in Qiao Yu's eyes. "How many people are there in that army?"
Yu Qingchuan smiled slightly. "I know what you want to ask. Yes, that army wasn't particularly large, only less than 5,000 people."
"But..." A trace of pity flashed across Yu Qingchuan's face, "That army rescued nearly 7,000 survivors along the way."
"That plant devoured a total of 11,682 lives in one night!"
