Chapter 243 Just Speculation (13)
Lan Jin was so scared that she immediately retracted her hand, and Lao Gao and Huang Jinghe immediately closed the door.
This was truly a case of outsmarting oneself. Lan Jin said in disbelief, "How is this possible? How could anyone not be afraid of electric shock? The voltage must be insufficient."
After saying this, Lan Jin, who was about to try again, was immediately stopped by Huang Jinghe. "No, Sister Lan, this is a human being. He's still alive. What if you increase the voltage and electrocute him?"
Even if she didn't electrocute someone, the consequences of electrocuting them to death were something she couldn't afford, so she had to give up the idea.
At this moment, the glass door was closed again, but the fence door inside, which had been pushed open a corner, was no longer able to hold on. Lao Gao said, "What should I do? Why is he still so crazy?"
Ling Jiang said, "If electricity doesn't work, how about ice? Aren't these people hot? I can freeze them with ice."
Lao Gao thought it wouldn't work. "The ice is quite cold, and freezing people would be a big loss. How about reinforcing the loose fence to prevent these people from escaping?"
Brother Li thought this was feasible. "Okay, let's freeze the fences inside and put some ice on the walkway outside to cool them down. Then, seal the glass door with ice. We'll definitely be able to protect this door no matter what."
Lan Jin twitched the corner of his mouth. They are not even afraid of electricity. Are you sure this door can protect them?
The most crucial thing is that the four of them had just reviewed the situation, especially Lan Jin. She always thought that lightning was basically invincible, unless she encountered something that was not afraid of electricity. Who knew that she would be slapped in the face like this? She had just said it in the morning, and she encountered it in the afternoon. The key point is that the person who was not afraid of electricity was still a person. Lan Jin was even more concerned about those who wanted to buy weapons that did not require superpowers. She was afraid that her superpowers would be useless and she would be unable to fight back. This was really scary.
Ling Jiang moved quickly and soon used his supernatural powers to freeze the necessary areas.
But looking at the people inside who were screaming crazily, to be honest, even though I have seen so many mutated creatures, I still think they look really scary.
Lan Jin said, "I'm suddenly glad that the people outside are eating insect powder."
But when she mentioned insect powder, she suddenly had a doubt in her heart about the insect powder. Of course, it was also a doubt that she had always had deep in her heart.
That's how this plant powder was added to the insect powder they eat.
According to Brother Zhang, this plant only grows in lush forests like this one and cannot be found anywhere else. The place where such a lush forest is closest to humans is the one in H City. Ordinary people cannot get through the lush forests in other places.
But here, in H City, ordinary people still don't have cars. Without a car, even if the place is close, it is still out of their reach, not to mention that there are so many dangerous creatures along the way. To be honest, Lan Jin feels that the people in H City don't even know the existence of Mao Lin.
But others don’t know how these things are made and added to the insect powder.
And the person most likely to approach it is most likely the person above.
So now there is still a question. After the people above made it, did they deliberately mix it with insect powder and sell it to the residents outside to eat, or did someone betray them and accidentally mix it with insect powder and then give it to the residents to eat.
Because Brother Zhang had said earlier that people here had been selling insect powder as early as the insect plague period, and nothing happened when people ate it then. It was only after the extreme cold that the insect powder suddenly appeared, and things started to get bad when people ate it.
But when he thought about the situation at the market before, Lan Jin vaguely believed that the people above knew about this matter. After all, insect powder had been sold at the market for a long time, which means that the quantity was very large. With such a large quantity, who wouldn't be tempted? Unless the people above took it out and exchanged it for the residents outside to eat. If he thought so, everything seemed to make sense.
However, I am afraid that no one has thought of the consequences of eating these insect powders. After all, the temptation of superpowers is too great. Having superpowers is like having a tool to save your life. Who would not want it?
I'm afraid there's another bloody storm behind this, so the only option is to prohibit the private possession of supernatural powers.
Of course, all this is just her guess, and she has no evidence. But if her guess is correct, there may be a shocking secret hidden behind it.
Lan Jin is just a drop in the ocean. She will not sacrifice herself for the sake of justice in the world. Not to mention whether these people need her to commit the crime. Even if she does, can she compete with the entire group of people above her alone?
It is better to be self-aware as a person, so no matter what thoughts you have in your mind, suppress them.
…
With Ling Jiang's ice reinforcement, although these people were crazy, they did not really rush out of the fence.
After another day and night of madness, these people gradually calmed down, as if all the strength in their bodies had been drained. They first stood there for a long time, and then fell asleep.
Seeing that the man was no longer crazy, in order to prevent him from getting sick, Ling Jiang withdrew his ice ability, and Brother Li also ordered people to add heating inside.
After these people slept for a day and a night, some of them gradually began to wake up. However, looking at themselves covered in blood, they couldn't accept it for a moment. "What's wrong with me? Why is there blood all over my body?"
"Me too. There's so much blood. I wonder if I've killed someone."
Brother Li shouted from outside: "No, no, this is your own blood. First check your body to see if there is anything unusual and report to me."
Someone shouted outside, "I feel weak, my whole body is cold, and my forehead is hot. I have a fever, and it's probably a high fever."
"I'm so thirsty, my lips are cracked and bleeding, and it's bitter."
"Can I take a shower? Are there any clothes I can change into?"
"The blood on my body has dried up and it drips down when I move. It's disgusting. I want to take a shower."
Brother Li listened to these weak responses and suddenly laughed, "Wait a minute, wait until the fever is over before you go and take a shower. What if you go crazy again? Who would dare to let you out?"
But actually, there shouldn't be any problem here. However, Lan Jin still wanted to ask, "Then why can people outside spit out a worm, but these people can't?"
Brother Li paused, and when he didn't know how to explain, the people who had just spoken started roaring crazily again.
Everyone's heart tightened, and they thanked each other: "Fortunately, they didn't let the person out, otherwise it would be terrible."
Some of them woke up later and were unsure how to react when they heard their mutated companions say, "What the hell is going on?"
