Chapter 402 Grave
The imagined accident did not happen, and Erha retracted his hand very well. The white flowers did not attack, and no monsters emerged from under the petals.
"Be careful, mutated plants are very dangerous." I stopped Erha aside and stretched out my spiritual tentacles to touch the petals.
The petals that look very tender are actually quite hard. When Gu Yu taps it with an air blade, he makes a crisp sound.
"Listen to this sound, it's like metal." I looked at the blooming flowers in wonder.
Erha raised his finger and showed us, "I'm injured." There was indeed blood on his fingertips.
If this flower is a parasitic plant, even a wound of a millimeter size would be fatal, so I quickly approached him to check it out.
"It's okay, just a small hole cut through some skin." The main reason was that the skin around his wound did not discolor, swell or other abnormalities. This wound was like a hole cut out accidentally when fiddling with paper products.
Erha turned her face to look at the flower that she had poked just now, and murmured: "It looks beautiful, so sharp."
I want to tell him that many things can only be viewed from a distance, because under their beautiful and harmless appearance, they actually hide their sharp "fangs".
But I believe that after Erha suffered losses, he could also summarize this truth.
There were no corpses near the bridge. We found several corpses with guns at both ends of the bridge, most of which were guards guarding the bridge.
"This flower either grew overnight, or it didn't show its power immediately."
Otherwise, the guards closest to them would definitely react, either attacking or notifying other survivors of danger. However, judging from the state of the corpse we saw, the guards had been standing on their respective posts, not running or shooting.
"The premise is that it kills people." Gu Yu added: "We can't confirm that it killed people."
There is nothing wrong with Gu Yu's words, not to mention that we are not here to investigate the cause of death of survivors, so there is no need to investigate these issues in depth.
"My parents are not here, let's go." I looked around and felt that it was time to stop here. The purpose of our coming in was to confirm that parents are safe. Even if the white flowers are special, it is not worth our risk of provoking it.
Besides, the matter between the fake Sang Rou has not been resolved yet, and my parents are missing. I promised Erha to save Lan Jingjing. Time is really tight.
"Okay, go to the suburbs again and check them out. They may not have come in and leave the mark outside."
"Then when will we go to save our master?" Erha frowned anxiously, but this time he didn't turn around.
"We agreed to find my parents before going." My attitude towards Erha has always been gentle. His eagerness to save his master is a manifestation of being hypnotized. Strictly speaking, he is a victim.
"Oh..." Erha was a little disappointed, but immediately urged us to leave. It seemed that he felt that as long as we finish the work quickly, his promise to him would be fulfilled as soon as possible.
When we arrived at the exit north of the city, our parents had little chance of walking back. They might continue to move northwest, where there was a city facing the border three sides.
Of course, the city is my definition of it. In fact, it is an autonomous region, with only one side facing Bell City, separated by a vast grassland. If you walk on the highway, you will have to walk more than 300 kilometers, but this distance is no longer far.
Considering the dangers of big cities, they will definitely choose a place with a large area with few people and infrastructure.
Then Gu Yu found the secret code left by Long Tao on the road guardrail, which proved that our speculation was correct. They did go towards the Bar Autonomous Region.
Following the guidance of the code, we got off the national highway and walked towards the riverside. We found a snow bag not far from the river bank.
Seeing these snow bags, I immediately felt a bad premonition in my heart. These are not snow bags at all, but graves.
A tombstone stood in front of the snow bag, and heavy snow covered the stele body at both ends, revealing only a piece in the middle.
Long Tao led us here, and the purpose was very clear. Gu Yu used air bombs to shake off the snow on the monument. On the tombstone closest to me, I saw a familiar name.
The deceased is from a small town. I have read the list of people in the small town and have an impression of this person's name.
There are also words on the back of the tombstone, and Gu Yu read it directly: "Diet from unknown diseases, the body was cremated."
"I've been killed, we teleported over and didn't pay attention to the marks on the road." I looked at all the tombstones one by one. The death time of these people was not consistent, but it didn't last more than three days.
I counted the number of graves and my heart kept sinking. Eleven people died in three days, and they all died of unknown diseases. What does this mean?
This means it is likely to be contagious, and Melin's therapeutic ability cannot cure them, and the crazy doctor cannot find an antidote.
I walked to a grave and saw the name engraved on the tombstone. I breathed suffocated and my body was instantly stiff, standing there like a stone statue.
Grandpa Han is dead?!
My mouth was half open, and for a moment, it seemed that countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and it seemed that my mind was blank.
Gu Yu walked over and saw the name on the tombstone. He gently hugged me and said nothing.
I took a deep breath and blinked my warm eyes hard, "They are all ordinary people, Ayu, we have to go back immediately and look for it carefully."
The more I spoke, the more anxious I became. I grabbed Gu Yu's arm. I was no longer a flower in the greenhouse. I knew that no matter how terrible some things were and if I didn't want to prove them, I had to find a way to figure them out.
"Okay, let's go back."
Gu Yu's voice always has the effect of stabilizing my emotions. When I heard his words, my floating mind was taken back from the kite on the ground and put it into practice again.
Walking back from Bell City, we no longer use teleportation. Gu Yu comforted me and said that if something happened to my parents and others, Long Tao would definitely leave a message on Grandpa Han and their tombstone.
How could I not know that he was just comforting me? Grandpa Han and the others may not be the last group of people who died of illness. If my parents had an accident earlier, the message would be left next to the people who died after them.
If you haven’t seen your parents, it doesn’t make sense to guess more. Gu Yu didn’t argue with me, and instead started chatting with Erha.
After being convinced by my reasons, Erha seemed a little anxious and kept urging us to leave quickly.
Although I was in my mind, I did not relax with his treatment. As the treatment deepened, he gradually calmed down.
As long as we plan to save Lan Jingjing, he will not be considered a rebel. He is still executing the master's orders. Anyway, Lan Jingjing has not given him a limited time.
He followed us with peace of mind and asked him a lot about Xindu and Lan Jingjing on the way.
I can guess Gu Yu’s intention is that he wants to distract me from the point of thinking.
Unfortunately, Erha knew very little. He had only been with Lan Jingjing for more than three months, and three of them were waiting for us.
I don’t know if he should be lucky or unlucky, but he was a loyal dog that only lasted a few days, so he was sent to a small town to squat for three months, sleeping in the open and enduring hunger and cold.
But then again, he was the only 'dog' to survive, and he was enslaved the shortest time and saved his life, which was a blessing in disgrace.
When it comes to Lan Jingjing, I remember the time she met her in Xindu, she was working with Shangguan Mo. Erha had said before that she was deceived by someone she trusted, and I subconsciously thought that the person who cheated her was Shangguan Mo.
As a result, when Gu Yu asked about this, Erha's answer made me amazed: "Who? Shangguan Qing? Is it her?"
Erha nodded immediately: "It's her."
The person Lan Jingjing trusted the most was Shangguan Qing, Shangguan Li and Shangguan Mo's sister, the young girl who was deeply loved by the old man in the Shangguan family.
But no matter how unexpected it is, if you think about it carefully, Lan Jingjing's attitude towards men is very extreme, and her ambition is to turn men from all over the world into her dog.
Therefore, it is probably only women who can make her think of her own people.
I only met her once, so she gave me a big gift enthusiastically and generously. If Shangguan Qing took the initiative to make friends with her...
Lan Jingjing gave me the feeling that she didn't know how to hide her sharpness. Xin was a place where she was crouching and hiding dragons. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a dragon, a cave, and she would fall into a trap set by others on purpose. I was not surprised at all.
As for Shangguan Qing, when Shangguan Li left, she didn't even show her face. Shangguan Li said that their brother and sister had a good relationship. In the end, he just sighed that when people grow up, they have more thoughts.
I didn't care at that time. Now I think about it, their relationship is good, and I'm afraid it has a lot to do with Shangguan Li being the future heir to the head of the family.
This lady from the Shangguan family must be a woman with deep thoughts and ambitions.
Mr. Shangguan passed away suddenly, Shangguan Mo was excluded by other members of the family, and some even wanted to kill him. Is Shangguan Qing also involved?
Thinking deeper, the Song family now has the final say in the space weapons used by the guards were researched from Lan Jingjing.
So can we think that the Shangguan family, or Shangguan Qing, is working for the Song family?
With the help of the Song family, is Shangguan Mo dead or alive now?
Thinking of this, I asked Erha: "Have you heard of the name Shangguan Mo?"
Erha thought for a while and said, "No, no one mentioned this name when I was there."
Since Shangguan Qing and Lan Jingjing are good friends, if Shangguan Mo is still in Xindu, Erha should have listened to them.
So, Shangguan Mo did not return to Xindu after leaving the Rubik's Cube Building.
"Then what do you think Lan Jingjing knows about Lu Zhi?" I asked again.
"Oh, I heard the master chatting with Shangguan Qing. The master said that Lu Zhi was your friend, and said it was a pity that you didn't want to be friends with her. If you were willing to make her a friend at that time, she could tell you a secret about Lu Zhi."
"What's the secret?"
"I didn't say anything, they soon talked about other things. Shangguan Qing didn't know Lu Zhi and was not interested in his affairs, so she didn't ask." Erha said, her eyes floating to the side.
I was avoiding my sight? I asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Erha looked guilty about doing something wrong. I think he might have concealed some information. His intelligence was affected after being hypnotized. Although he recovered quickly, he had not learned to hide his emotions.
"Well... I can't say something." Erha's guilty expression was all on her face. Even if this person looked fierce, I couldn't connect him with the evildoers.
"Okay, if you can't say it, then don't say it." I waved my hand indifferently. Since it was something he couldn't say, it probably was related to the limitations of hypnosis. The hypnosis has not been completely lifted. This may involve his loyalty to Lan Jingjing, so he can't tell me.
However, I think that those quick recovery of reason, thinking ability and emotions are interfering with his judgment, which will make him unable to speak but stop and have a conflict in his heart.
