Chapter 434: Black Poison



However, these theories may not be true. Perhaps it is just because a piece of such strange metal that is always in a vibrating state was found, so there are so many speculations and discussions. We don’t know what it is really like, and we can only find the answer to what is true and what is false by ourselves. Therefore, you can just take a look at these materials, but you may not believe them.

But since Lola is a scientist, she should be treated relatively better here. Therefore, the possibility of finding canned food in this dormitory is the greatest. So Yunwen continued to look at the information under the halo of the Golden Que Sword, while I continued to rummage through the boxes and cabinets. As I estimated, there were quite a few extra things near the bed, such as suitcases. There were also other things in the drawers, such as some expensive pens, ink, and a mysterious instrument.

In the sliding cabinet under the table, I also touched a flat piece of metal. I was stunned for a moment, then I felt it again with my hands. Sure enough, it was canned food. The entire sliding cabinet was full of small cans, large and small, about a dozen of them. I was thinking about how to take it back, when I turned around and saw the suitcase. I saw that the food problem was temporarily solved.

Yunwen was still looking at the information, but seeing that she was frowning slightly, I thought that she might have seen some weird theory again, so I patted her shoulder and reminded her that she could prepare to pack the food and we would leave together. However, she didn't react at all after I patted her, and I couldn't help but wonder.

Forget it, seeing that the information page is almost at the end of the page, it doesn’t hurt to wait a little longer.

So I opened the suitcase. There were some moldy and smelly clothes, but they were too thin and unsuitable, so I threw them all out. Then I put all the seventeen cans of food in it. But when I put the last can in, I felt something was wrong. This can was much heavier than the others, as if it was filled with water. So I picked it up and found that it didn't look like a can.

When we pried it open, a very foul smell wafted out, and Yunwen and I couldn't help but dry heave!

I hurried to cover it, but Yunwen stopped me. Her attention was finally diverted from the materials. Now she was pinching her nose and looking at these things. She was not afraid. At this time, I seemed to associate something with the stench, that black and dirty deadly river.

"What did you find?" I asked.

"The materials are all about their research process on this project. They were talking about finding one of the evidences, which is the thing in this box. It is a kind of insect. It is said that it is raised by someone and has extremely strong vitality, just like the vibrating metal. The project says that this is the proof of the existence of the mysterious substance. It has changed the logic of the world." Yunwen said.

"Okay, Yunwen, don't worry about the logic or not. We only need to believe half of these theories. There are many strange theories in this world, and there are also many scientific maniacs. Our most urgent task now is to leave here quickly and go back to get some food to fill our stomachs." I said.

Yunwen seemed to have just realized why we were here, so she smiled and said, "Sorry, I forgot about this. Let's go back."

As she was about to close the lid with her hand, the black water in the iron can suddenly moved, and the whole iron can began to shake. As the shaking became more intense, the black and smelly water began to splash out. Yunwen jumped up in fright, and I hurriedly pulled her over. At this time, a head suddenly popped out of the dirty water, and it turned out to be two huge insect eyes, similar to large fly eyes.

Yunwen and I didn't dare to move for the time being, and the insect crawled out of the dirty water at this time. Its body shape was indeed similar to that of a fly. It shook its thin wings, about the size of a date, and then flew up with a buzz. Fortunately, Yunwen was holding the file bag in her hand, and I took it immediately, thinking that if it dared to come over, I would slap it to death!

With my ability to hear and distinguish sounds, it is not impossible.

However, after staying on the table for a while, it flew out of the window. When it flew out, its tail was fluorescent purple and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

I breathed a sigh of relief. If that dirty and smelly thing flew over to me, I thought that even if I could get something to eat later, I wouldn't be able to eat because of the psychological trauma.

I had come to my senses, but Yunwen was so frightened that she hadn't recovered yet and was standing there in a daze.

"Let's go, let's get away from this dangerous place." I said.

"When it left just now, I interpreted the sound it made, as if it was saying that it was going back to find its owner." Yunwen said.

"Master? Does this mean that there are people who specialize in raising insects?" I asked.

"I'm afraid so." Yunwen said.

In any case, it is still quite dangerous to go out at night. Moreover, on this island where anything is possible, for the sake of survival and safety, we should try not to go out at night in the future. We have stayed in there for a long time, and we are still waiting outside in the hottest days of summer. Now the wind and cold are getting worse, and we must have been freezing for a long time, so it is time to hurry out.

All the cans had been put into the suitcase, zipped up, and we were ready to leave. At this moment, Yunwen suddenly grabbed me, went to the table, took the vibrating metal and put it in her pocket. I took back the Jinque Sword and went out the same way I came.

When we went outside, it was the hottest time of the year and the dog was completely cold, so we hurriedly drove it back to the post station.

After returning to the inn, we first tied up the Sanfu, and then hurried to the spring to wash the dust off our hands and faces. However, the parts of the backs of our hands that were splashed by the dirty black water were stained with black, and could not be washed off, as if they were embedded in it. It might be the effect of the ink. Therefore, although we were uneasy, we ignored it for the time being. The main thing tonight was to fill our stomachs.

After cleaning, we opened the cans one by one and saw canned saury, canned luncheon meat, canned sweet corn and canned fruit. These were life-saving.

So we helped Yunwen wash the pot, and so that both of us could eat food earlier, we divided the work. I was responsible for steaming and she was responsible for frying on the iron plate.

My task was relatively simple. I placed a steaming plate in the stainless steel pot on the stove, poured in water, swept out the canned sweet corn and poured it into an iron bowl, placed it on the steaming plate, covered the pot with a lid, and then started the firewood, and everything was done.

Then Yunwen's end was relatively difficult. She lit a charcoal fire, took out the saury in the can, took out another can of luncheon meat, then heated the iron plate and started frying. There were also dry ingredients here, which she needed to prepare, and she also needed to pay attention to turning them over from time to time to prevent one side from getting burnt. Soon the aroma filled the air.

When it was almost done, I put the luncheon meat and saury in a bowl and paired it with hot sweet corn. Bit by bite, I finally felt fuller and not so hungry. And as my stomach felt a little better, I finally got through this unbearable hunger.

After eating these cans, we rinsed our mouths and cleaned up everything. As for the empty tin cans, I planned to send them to the furnace for recycling another day, so I specially washed them and put them aside.

After finishing all this, we have completed the task of feeding ourselves tonight. Although this meal only made us feel three or four points fuller, it is much more comfortable than the previous time when we were starving. Then we went upstairs and lay down on the bed. It was not so difficult to fall asleep. It didn't take long before the sleepiness came and we fell into a daze.

Yunwen had already fallen asleep, and I held her in my arms and also fell asleep in this warmth. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly felt a burning sensation on my arm. It was the black spot that was stuck to the skin. I don’t know why I felt uncomfortable, but sleepiness came over me, so I didn’t care and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I found Lingshang was not gathering Qi. I looked outside and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. Judging from her appearance, she must have been waiting for me for a long time. I rubbed my eyes and asked, "What's wrong, Lingshang? Why don't you go to gather Qi today?"

She looked at me seriously and said, "Zhou Lang, have you been to West Island recently?"

I shook my head.

"Why lie to me? Your arm is already infected with poison. If you hadn't gone to the West Island, how could you have been infected? You know that this poison is extremely difficult to cure. I'm afraid you may lose your life." Ling Shang said in a reproachful manner.
