Lin Hu also turned back, wanting to see what had happened to make Jiang Qiaomei so anxious.
"You need to get tested too?" Lin Hu had just walked in when he heard Dr. Wang ask with a hint of curiosity.
“Yes, this is it.” Jiang Qiaomei responded, took out the glass bottle from her backpack, and carefully handed it to Dr. Wang.
Dr. Wang has a keen eye; he immediately recognized that the medicine in the bottle was unusual. He quickly stepped back, keeping his face far away from the bottle. "Where did this come from?"
"It fell from the people of Bright Island." Jiang Qiaomei chose not to tell the truth. It was her first time killing someone, and she was still recovering from the bloody scene, feeling a bit scared.
"This stuff is more potent than sulfuric acid. As for its medicinal properties, we'll have to wait for Dr. Wang to test it. You can put the bottle down now; we'll let you know when we have the results," Dr. Wang said lazily, leaning back in his chair.
"Okay, as soon as possible." Jiang Qiaomei said, turning and leaving.
Lin Hu naturally went back with her. Along the way, Lin Hu noticed that Jiang Qiaomei was a little tense. He tried to distract her with words several times, but she kept getting distracted, so Lin Hu gave up.
Back on the raft, Lin Hu told Duan Linzhou about what had happened at the lake.
There are many suspicious points.
For example, why was a zombie thrown into the sea? Why did it suddenly appear on Qinglong Island and try to poison the food and water?
It seems we need to send someone to Bright Island, but Bright Island is already at level five and is being blocked by strangers. How can we get in?
That evening, while Lin Hu and Duan Linzhou were cooking in the kitchen, the former doctor rushed over.
"Dr. Qian, is there a result yet?" Lin Hu asked. He had already guessed it from Dr. Qian's hurried manner, but it seemed that the situation was still quite serious.
"You and Ms. Jiang gave me the same medicine, but yours was diluted. It's probably because the watermelon is small, so the dosage doesn't need to be too large," the former doctor said hurriedly, clearly a little agitated.
"So what is it?" Duan Linzhou asked as he turned off the stove and came out of the kitchen.
"Zombie blood, or more precisely, blood refined from zombies, has an 86% chance of causing infection!" the former doctor said, his hands trembling slightly. He didn't know who was so heartless as to release a virus onto their island.
Lin Hu and Duan Linzhou were equally surprised, not expecting this to be the case.
But why would Bright Island send this to their island? Do they think humans have lived too long?
At this moment, Duan Bohai, who had just seen off Hong Fuqiu and his group, also received the message that Dr. Wang had brought.
"Damn it!" Duan Bohai was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table, startling Dr. Wang.
"Don't get angry, or you'll get a sore throat again," Jiang Qiaomei reminded her from the side.
"Fortunately, they were all stopped, otherwise..." Otherwise, the weather might have changed drastically when I woke up tomorrow.
Jiang Qiaomei didn't say the next sentence explicitly, but everyone understood.
"No, I have to go out." Duan Bohai said, getting up and heading outside.
Jiang Qiaomei didn't stop him. She watched him and Dr. Wang leave, then went into the kitchen to continue preparing the dinner that had just been interrupted.
When Duan Bohai arrived at the Linhu raft, the former doctor had just left.
"Dad," Duan Linzhou called out as he turned around and saw his father's gloomy face.
"Uncle Duan." Lin Hu turned around upon hearing the voice and greeted the other party.
"Hmm." Duan Bohai nodded casually, rubbing his temples as if he had a headache.
"I've come here because there's something I need to discuss with you," Duan Bohai said, sitting down under the grape trellis outside.
Duan Linzhou: "What is it?"
Duan Linzhou and Lin Hu sat opposite each other, waiting for Duan Bohai to speak.
"Hong Fuqiu came to our area today, saying he wanted to cooperate with us to purchase a large amount of supplies. But he's been making a lot of underhanded moves behind the scenes."
I'm planning to agree to let you go to their island tomorrow to see what's going on. You just need to say you're there to see what they have to offer in exchange.
However, if you don't want to go, I won't force you.
As Duan Bohai spoke, he glanced at the two children in front of him. If he weren't the island's owner, and afraid of accidents, he wouldn't be able to leave the island easily, but he would definitely have gone to investigate personally.
The two exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Let's go."
“…Okay, I’ll head back now, otherwise your mom will nag me again. I’ll arrange for you to go over tomorrow.” Duan Bohai said, getting up and walking back.
"Brother Duan, Uncle Duan looks so tired," Lin Hu said, looking at Duan Bohai's back.
He even regretted giving the island to Duan Bohai. One of the reasons he gave it away was because he thought about the management and construction work, which he felt would be too much trouble.
Of course, the main reason is that Ling Jiuqi's mission is to achieve peace.
The most peaceful system is that of country Z, and such a system requires a conducive environment and effective administrators.
"Yes, so I also need to do my part." Duan Linzhou nodded, concealing his current fatigue.
He wasn't much better off; besides being busy with business, he also had to participate in the construction.
————
The next day, just as dawn broke, Lin Hu and Duan Linzhou got up and tidied themselves up. After taking the disguise pill that Lin Hu had exchanged at the mall, the two arrived at Duan Bohai's raft.
Duan Bohai hadn't recognized them yet. If the two hadn't confessed, he might have kicked them off his raft.
It's unclear how Duan Bohai spoke to Hong Fuqiu, but he managed to get the other party to agree to let them send five people to inspect the supplies on their island.
Besides Lin Hu and Duan Linzhou, the other five are Chen Mingyao, who has the ability to detect supernatural powers; Chen Xing, who has the ability to generate lightning; and Wen Mofei, who has the ability to generate water.
