Wu Xin, who had smartly maintained zero presence along the way, couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Zhang Hua winking at him. He hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and asked the woman pretending to be casual.
The woman's little finger hidden behind the bowl trembled slightly, and then she stared at Wu Xin with dull eyes and said, "My sister and I are both natives of Qu County. We were employed as workers in the second workshop of Nancheng Pharmaceutical Factory three years ago. In September, many people in the factory suddenly turned into man-eating monsters, biting everyone they saw."
As the woman spoke, it seemed as if she was remembering the days that frightened her, and her dry shoulders kept shaking.
"Continue." Wu Xin was unmoved. This was the case everywhere in the last days, and his poor sympathy had long been worn away.
"Then," the woman swallowed, "two people with superpowers awakened among the workers in the factory. Because those monsters were slow and not difficult to deal with, and there was a lot of food stored in the canteen, everyone decided Stay here for the time being. Originally, those two people led everyone to organize manpower to patrol around every day. Once they found monsters nearby, they worked together to deal with them, and everything was fine."
"Later," the woman suddenly raised her voice and said with some excitement: "Then people began to disappear suddenly. Some were in the dormitory, some were on patrol, and suddenly no one could be found, without leaving even a trace of blood."
Everyone was a little silent when they heard this. There was not even a trace of blood. It was definitely not a zombie or a mutant. These things are very direct. If they encounter fresh flesh and blood, they will basically eat it on the spot. There is no reason to drag people away and consume it slowly.
"Is there someone else living in this factory?" Wu Xin continued to ask. In this case, the possibility of human error is even greater.
"No, no, no, everyone in the factory gathered together except those who turned into monsters. There were originally more than 200 of us, but in less than a week, nearly half of them disappeared one after another. Everyone felt very scared. , I feel that maybe I will disappear next." The woman suddenly showed a strange smile to everyone.
"You probably don't know that this factory is haunted. There was an explosion in the second workshop before. More than 20 people died at that time, and not even the bodies were left. Do you think it's strange? Not even the bones were found. Later, some people privately spread that the explosion was not an accident but man-made. They all died unjustly, and their ghosts lingered in the factory. After more and more people disappeared inexplicably, everyone began to say that those people The evil spirit is at work."
Qian Zhiqiang shivered because of her sinister smile. He usually believed this the most. There couldn't really be a ghost in this house, right?
Wu Xin was not afraid at all. As a staunch materialist and a good young man, he firmly felt that the ghosts and ghosts in this woman's mouth were all lies.
The woman seemed to have noticed his disdain and continued to say in a low voice: "Don't believe it. No matter how careful everyone was, people continued to disappear. Even the two people with super powers disappeared at the same time in one night. . In the end, there were only about thirty of us left, and we all gathered in the cafeteria hall with fear, not daring to be alone. But that night, my sister suddenly had a stomachache, so I had to bravely accompany her to the toilet."
At this point, the woman's eyes widened unwillingly, and she said sharply: "I clearly saw her enter the toilet cubicle with my own eyes, but then she just disappeared. It must be Xiaoxiang, it must be her, she is dead Not willing to give in, I arrested my sister and took her to accompany her. My sister was supposed to be on duty on the day of the explosion. That day was my father's birthday, so she switched shifts with Xiaoxiang. She must have done it, and she came to take revenge!!"
Wu Xin couldn't help frowning and asked: "Why are you so sure it's that Xiao Xianggan?" What a ghost? This is too weird to say.
Hearing this, the woman laughed twice in a hoarse voice: "How can you be sure? Later, those thirty or so people continued to disappear every day, and then one day, after the last person around me also disappeared, I looked through the window in the second workshop I saw her at the door and she died there."
"Are you sure it's Xiaoxiang?" Wu Xin asked again and again.
"Of course I'm sure. She and I grew up together and have known each other for more than twenty-five years. Not only my sister, but also your people were captured by them. I know that she came half a month ago. There were ten people, one of whom had very good hearing, and he discovered me even when I was hiding in the dormitory. Unfortunately, they didn't listen to the advice and insisted on going to the factory, but they never came out again."
"Wait! He has very good hearing? Is that man about thirty years old, shaved, and tall and thin?" Qian Zhiqiang asked excitedly.
"That person..." The woman paused, and her dull eyes gradually returned to clarity.
Wu Xin secretly thought that it was not good. When he used his language power, he was very taboo about others asking questions, otherwise the person being questioned would wake up on his own.
"Tell me, is that man about thirty years old, with a shaved head?" Qian Zhiqiang continued to ask.
The woman obviously realized that something was wrong with her situation just now, but she didn't say anything. She calmed down and said: "There is indeed such a person as you mentioned. He came here half a month ago and asked me about the terrain of the factory. He must be your companion. I have worked in this factory for three years and am very familiar with it. As long as you agree to help me rescue my sister, I can lead the way for you."
"Okay, we'll set off early tomorrow morning." Zhang Hua looked at the woman lightly and agreed.
The woman was obviously very excited when she heard this, even a little undisguisedly excited.
Ruan Ning had just been listening to her story quietly, his eyes never leaving the woman. Seeing her looking so excited, he felt even more disobedient. In the eyes of others, she was so excited because her sister was saved. .
But there was a voice in Ruan Ning's heart telling him that things were not that simple. Especially in the morning when the woman pinched his legs tightly and wouldn't let go, the spiritual spring in the space began to fluctuate. Ruan Ning had never been in the space before. He had felt its changes before, but this morning, he clearly felt that Wang Lingquan's reaction to women was very strong. What exactly touched Lingquan? Ruan Ning was puzzled.
In the past, Ruan Ning rarely concealed things on his face. Maybe it was his experience in Shanghua Village that made him wary, or maybe he was too suspicious of this sudden woman. This time Ruan Ning actually put it on his face. His emotions were well concealed, and at least none of the grown men could see the doubts in the child's heart.
In the evening, several people took turns to keep watch as usual. The woman returned to the dormitory where she lived early and Ruan Ning was sent to sleep. The men agreed to let him come to the corridor to take over the shift after four o'clock in the morning. Not to mention lack of sleep, I can also make some breakfast.
Ruan Ning entered the dormitory and lay on the bed, but he was completely sleepless. He was waiting, waiting for the strange voice to appear again. This time, Brother Zhang Hua and the others were keeping vigil in the corridor outside the door. He was not as scared as before. But Ruan Ning is really curious as to what kind of thing can follow him from Liang County to here.
"Kekeke~"
coming! The familiar laughter made Ruan Ning tense up instantly. The laughter was as sharp as before, but there was still no movement outside the door. Zhang Hua and the others could not hear the sound.
"Who are you and why are you following me?" Ruan Ning lowered his voice and asked as calmly as possible.
"...Giggle~" The voice paused imperceptibly, and then continued to laugh as if nothing had happened.
"Can you hear what I said, right? Why on earth are you following me?" Ruan Ning sensitively caught the pause and continued to ask with determination.
"Third brother, third brother." The voice continued to shout. If Zhang Hua and the others were present, their jaws would have dropped. This voice was clearly the same as Yanyan, the woman whom the third brother had a crush on that day.
It's a pity that Ruan Ning doesn't know the third brother Yanyan, so he only thinks that this voice is answering his question.
"Your name is Third Brother?" Ruan Ning was a little unsure.
"Ahem, Wang Chuan, you bastard! Ahem, get out of here! You are not my son. Maybe your bitch mother stole it from someone else. Ahem, get out of here!" The voice changed and he yelled rudely. When he got up, he sounded trembling like an old man.
ah? Ruan Ning was completely stunned. Is this one person or three people? Why is there another person named Wang Chuan?
"Who are you? Can you come out?"
"Meow~~" The voice seemed to be getting more energetic, and soon there was a new movement.
"Mutant cat?" Ruan Ning recognized it this time. Wasn't this the cry of the mutant cat that day?
"Yanyan~ Brother is here."
"Third brother~"
"You bastard, get out!"
"Meow~"
Are you playing ventriloquism, brother? Ruan Ning listened to the sounds and kept changing them for fun. He was already sure that these four sounds probably came from the same mouth. He could learn the sounds of different genders, ages and even species so vividly and freely. It's not easy for you to switch, brother. -_-|||
It was basically certain that the owner of the voice had no ill intentions, so Ruan Ning was too lazy to explore further. He could just talk if he wanted to. At worst, he could sleep in the space.
When he thought of space, Ruan Ning's eyes lit up and he turned around and entered the space. He didn't know what happened to the mutated pine tree that caused him to sleep for a long time.
In the space, Ruan Ning hurriedly fed the animals that were begging for food, and then picked up a big broom and a bucket to clean the nests. To be honest, if anyone saw such a beautiful and energetic little boy in front of him, holding a big Something as smelly as a broomstick must be heartbreaking, but Ruan Ning understands that if you want to eat meat, you have to work.
Having such a big cheating device with space is already a special treatment from God. If you still want to point to the seedlings of vegetables and fruits, dig a hole and jump in, and then when you grow up, you can line up neatly and jump into the vegetable basket. Animal They go out to find food by themselves during the day, and then go back to the circle to sleep obediently at night. They can even dig a hole with their hooves and bury the poop. Ruan Ning himself feels that he is too greedy.
God has given such a great favor, so he should cherish the blessing. Being able to take care of the space bit by bit makes Ruan Ning feel very at ease and at ease. He planted and watered every plant and tree here personally. He didn't have that feeling in his heart. He is worried that God will suddenly take back the space one day, because the connection with the space has been established by himself over time.
After cleaning up the animals, Ruan Ning took a brief tour of the vegetable field and added some water. Although the sky in the space was bright, there was no sun. It was sunny 24 hours a day and never had a dark night. The air here is very warm and humid, and Ruan Ning does not need to water the vegetable fields too frequently.
Finally, he came to the huge old mutated pine tree. When he collected the tree, he had a trying mentality and silently thought about collecting it into the small pine forest. Unexpectedly, he succeeded.
Now that old tree occupies the very center of the pine forest. The several pine trees in the middle were lifted up by its thick roots and fell pitifully to the side. However, the old pine tree itself took the initiative. It took root in the middle and spread its needles very proudly. Even the yellow flower bulbs sprouted a lot of new ones, obviously very satisfied with the new environment.
Ruan Ning silently replanted the pine trees that had been robbed of their homes on the outskirts of the pine forest, and then tried to get close to the yellow layer of pollen under the old pine trees. Sure enough, as he thought, he no longer felt dizzy.
You are smart, but you still dare to stun me when you live in my territory, just to see if I don't throw you out. Ruan Ning thought with satisfaction.
From now on, he will have pollen. If he encounters any danger again and his powers are no longer effective, he will scatter pollen to trap the enemy to death.
After taking care of everything, Ruan Ning did not have his hands free when he came out of the room. Instead, he held a small basket filled with sweet potatoes, sausages, chicken eggs and a few juicy big apples. They were in the communication room at noon today. I found a small charcoal stove. The small stove, which was less than one meter high, was covered with a barbed wire. The barbed wire was smoked black and had obviously been used.
Maybe the night watchman made it himself to bake something, and Zhang Hua and the others took it to the corridor to make a fire, along with a small half bag of charcoal.
It is already very cold in the north in December. Even if you wear thick clothes and stay in the corridor late at night, the near-zero temperature is quite challenging.
"Brother Qian, you're here, where are the others." Ruan Ning pushed the door open and went out. Seeing Qian Zhiqiang leaning alone in the corner of the corridor to warm himself up, Ruan Ning handed over the basket in his hand.
Qian Zhiqiang accepted the answer happily and said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Hua and Lu Fan went to the toilet together and will be back in a while. Let me see what's there. Hey sweet potato, how did you know that I'm hungry? Woolen cloth?"
Qian Zhiqiáng smoothly took out the dagger he carried with him, neatly cut the sausage into thick slices and laid them on the wire mesh. The hot barbed wire made a sizzling sound when it encountered the grease in the sausage. The salty aroma of the barbecue spread far away, Qian Zhiqiáng Then he neatly buried four large sweet potatoes in the charcoal stove. It probably won't take long for them to be cooked.
Ruan Ning waved down the grilled sausage handed over by Qian Zhiqiang. Who dares to eat the one with the knife stuck in it.
"Brother Qian, how about I stay with you for a while?" It's hard to be alone in the middle of the night.
"No, no, no, you go to bed. It's so late and you're still awake. Be careful not to grow taller in the future. Brother Zhang Hua and Brother Lu will just go to the toilet and they'll be back soon. You don't have to worry. Go to bed." Qian. Zhiqiang waved his hands repeatedly.
If it were left to the future, Ruan Ning might be able to detect something was wrong, but now that he met Qian Zhiqiáng, an old man, he could only be coaxed back to sleep.
About two hours after Ruan Ning entered, the two old men who Qian Zhiqiang said went to the toilet hurriedly came back, along with Hou Yu who was supposed to catch up on his sleep in the dormitory. That is to say, in addition to Ruan Ning and Wu Xin, Liu Zhizhao, who was to keep vigil in the second half of the night, and several old men who were sneaky and didn't sleep in the middle of the night, all gathered.
"Hey, there are roasted sweet potatoes. Give me one. It's freezing to death in the middle of the night." Lu Fan lowered his voice and reached for the roasted sweet potatoes that Qian Zhiqiang had just picked out.
"Hiss~ It's burning me to death." Lu Fan gasped and wolfed down the hot and sweet sweet potato pulp into his mouth.
Zhang Hua also tore into the roasted and fragrant sweet potato flesh, raised his chin towards Ruan Ning's bedroom, and whispered: "Xiao Ning is asleep?"
"I fell asleep, there has been no movement for a long time," Qian Zhiqiang said while putting eggs into the extinguished charcoal fire; "Brother Hua, what's going on inside the factory?"
Zhang Hua looked a little heavy and said: "We have searched everything we can. It is no different from an ordinary pharmaceutical factory. Even a monkey can't detect anything unusual. It seems that the only choice is to go with the woman tomorrow to see what tricks she is playing. "
Hou Yu, who was munching sweet potatoes leisurely, also stopped and said, "There is something in that factory. After entering, I couldn't even notice the mental fluctuations of you and Xiao Ning. Even if there is a monster, I can't detect it." come out."
After Hou Yu finished speaking, he didn't feel depressed at all that his power had failed. After finishing the sweet potato, he reached out towards the big apple in the basket and started to chew it.
"Tsk, Xiao Ning should really be shown how you look like now. You can eat and sleep better than anyone else. You look like a seriously ill person?" Qian Zhiqiang mocked him loudly.
Hou Yu glanced at him unmoved, he had to believe it.
Qian Zhiqian, who understood the proud look in Hou Yu's eyes, kept silent about his luck, but had no other choice. Ruan Ning, this kid, is really a bit stubborn sometimes. You just ran up to him and said: Hou Yu is just pretending, he can't Ruan Ning may not believe that he is healthy.
But Hou Yu can't be proud for long. When he returns to the base, Brother Huan should protect Xiao Ning tightly. Do you still want to fool him then? Even the tiger level may not be passed. No one in the group knows that the fierce and tough tiger doesn't stick to anyone but Ruan Ning.
The tiger who was far away in the Z city base seemed to have suddenly sensed something. He suddenly lifted his big head out of the nest, looked around and sniffed, then wilted back to the nest: Hmm~ Ever since Xiao Ning left. , it's boring to do anything, and whatever it eats doesn't taste good. Look at what's prepared for it in the cafeteria at noon. Food and other things are like going back to before liberation! Xiao Ning, come back soon~ The tiger is starving to death.
The woman came over early the next morning. She seemed to have slept well, and even her pale cheeks with high cheekbones were much rosier. She was wearing the cotton clothes that Ruan Ning had given her last night, and she didn't see anyone being touched again. Shivering from the cold.
"Shall we go?" the woman said eagerly to the people who were having breakfast.
"It's still early, why are you in a hurry?" Zhang Hua picked up his third egg pancake this morning and ate it very deliciously with the porridge and side dishes.
"Aren't you anxious? Your companions are all in their hands!" the woman said anxiously. She originally thought that as soon as several people heard that their companions were in the factory, they would rush in to rescue them yesterday, but they didn't expect them to arrive so early in the morning. Still in the mood to have breakfast, hum! It might be your last meal, so enjoy it. The woman thought coldly.
"Well, eldest sister, how about you eat something too? We might have to spend a whole day looking for her in the factory." Ruan Ning saw the woman standing there alone without embarrassment. She was thinner than Brother Hou Yu, even if she still doubted her in her heart , couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, and wanted to invite her to have some breakfast.
"No need, little brother, I'm not hungry." The woman smiled at Ruan Ning and said with a rare gentle look.
