When I woke up, I felt like my nose had been punched. It was unbearably sore, my throat was dry and itchy, and I was very thirsty.
Could it be that this iron bed is too cold and I caught a cold after sleeping on it?
I stood up with a grin on my face and saw that on the iron bed next to me, Xiwu and Chaoyang were sleeping soundly with their heads and feet facing each other, while Wen Na was leaning on the desk in front of her, as if studying something.
"Wen Na, what are you looking at?" I was startled as soon as I said the words. My voice was extremely hoarse, like another person's voice, very much like the ghostly old man in the dark story.
I saw a glass jar placed in front of Wen Na. Inside was something sticky, like crystal mud.
"What is this? Is this what you put into the box last night?"
"You'd better keep silent for now." Wen Na said softly. Could it be that she dislikes my ugly voice... But I don't know why I ended up like this after just sleeping!
"Shh..." Wen Na then called to me, "Don't make any noise. Her brother is already awake. Listen to me."
I immediately shut up and walked quietly to Wenna's side, pretending to observe the contents of the glass jar.
"This is what I took out of your body!"
"What?" I blurted out and immediately shut up.
"Be quiet and let Xiwu sleep a little longer." Wen Na responded quickly and immediately smoothed things over for me. I pretended to be bored and went back to lie down on the iron bed, listening to Wen Na continue to speak to me.
"Yesterday, when I was treating Xiwu's wounds, I discovered that there was an endoscope equipment here, so I checked it on you too. I found these things in your body, so I took them out."
"What is this?"
"This should be what the people in the shelter put in your body."
"Is this the bomb they said they put in my body?"
"I'm not sure whether it's a bomb or not. I've never seen this thing before, but since they implanted this into your body, it's definitely not a good thing. I still know the tricks of the shelter. They don't know anything about it. I won’t treat you as a human being and throw you away like worn out shoes after using you.”
"Is there anything special about this thing?"
"Yesterday when I was suturing Yugiri's wound, I accidentally saw a mass of something passing by deep in her wound. I thought I had seen it wrong, but later I discovered that as long as the needle I sutured came close to Yugiri, There will be a group of such things close to the body, and even one or two drops will be adsorbed on the suture needle!"
"Is this thing magnetic?"
"Yes, so I gave you an endoscope and found the same thing in your body! I must have taken out all those things and now I'm observing what they are used for."
"Have you taken out Yugiri's?"
"No, I don't know their details, Xiyuan, do you remember what I told you? Don't trust everything! You have to learn to protect yourself!"
"Water..." Xiwu's weak voice came. Chaoyang immediately jumped up from the bed and went to feed Xiwu some water. He was really pretending to sleep! This boy looks like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old. He is superior to me in terms of scheming and fighting ability. Is the purpose of these two siblings following me really like what they said, to stay in this shelter? Is it that simple to get bored?
Xiwu looked much better after a night's rest, but her lips were still a little pale. I let Liuyou lead the way to the back kitchen of the canteen, and found some fresh-looking ingredients in the refrigerator. I turned on the stove. , fried a plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of air-dried meat, cooked a cabbage and vermicelli soup and brought it out.
"It's been too long since I've cooked. I don't know if it's okay. You can just eat something." During this period of time, eating for us is just to fill our stomachs and satisfy our physical hunger. I have forgotten a little about those cooking skills. What does the food taste like...
"I don't think you have this skill." Xiwu took a bite of the food and said while eating.
"It's great, it's delicious." Wen Na took a big mouthful of rice.
"Did that camera-like thing yesterday capture the black shadow?" Chaoyang asked Wen Na.
"We'll find out after we open it in the sun and take a look."
After a hearty meal, we took out something like an old camera in the yard.
"What do you think of this?"
I took the thing and looked through a small hole on it. I saw black shadows hitting the invisible wall of air in front of me in a small closed space.
"It's really in there!"
Yugiri and Chaoyang also took it and looked at it in turn, "What should we do now? Release this thing and kill it? How should we kill it?"
"I don't know." I shook my head.
"Or find a place to bury him with this thing? Let him fend for himself?" Wen Na suggested.
This seems to be a good idea. Maybe if you lose the power of those believers, you will not be able to absorb the souls of others. This black shadow was shut inside for a while and it was wiped out. Of course, this is a relatively perfect idea. In case someone digs him up Come out and let go...
"Then it has nothing to do with us. Whoever digs it out will be unlucky." Yugiri also agreed with this idea.
The physical work was left to the big spiders, and they quickly dug a deep pit, which was more than enough to build a small second floor on top.
We walked around the yard again, and the people in the shed area were still lying on the ground, with heartbeats and breathing, but without consciousness.
"How about setting them on fire and giving them a good time?" Chaoyang suggested.
"Master...you can't do this...this is too wasteful..."
"Don't eat people!" I glared at Liuyou, but he didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Just leave it like this, maybe a miracle will happen."
We found two cold storages at the back of the yard. There were a lot of meats piled inside, cut into pieces and stacked neatly. Next to the cold storages, there was a cultivation room where many vegetables were grown. There were two small greenhouses at the door. After peeling off the film, there were several unripe watermelons lying on the sand inside. They were so big inside!
"This used to be a breeding farm, but it was later transformed into a multi-functional civilian shelter. There are so many breeding sheds and feed piles here."
"Oh my God! There is also an incubation room here! There are so many chickens!"
We entered an inconspicuous house. The lights inside were off, and we could only hear the chirping of chickens. They were densely packed like planted leeks, eating, drinking, and eating in a grid the size of a basketball.
"These people have raised so many chickens, but they don't necessarily want to give us one to eat at that time." Chaoyang muttered...
"Brother Xiyuan, can you make fried chicken?" he asked me seriously.
It’s really weird. He didn’t even bother to call me that before. Why did he call me Brother Xiyuan after eating a meal I cooked...
"You and my sister are married, can I eat the food you cook every day?"
"Chaoyang!" Xiwu gently pinched Chaoyang and walked in front of us with a blushing face...
"Where are we going next, Brother Xiyuan?" Chaoyang asked me.
"I need to go find my sister first."
"Hey, what a pity, what should I do with so much fried chicken?"
"Aren't there a lot of refugees outside? Let's open the high wall door and let them all in. All these equipment can be used. As long as it is planned properly, many refugees should be rescued here. Besides, there are also seeds and a complete set of biological cycles. Feeding system, they can take advantage of it and continue to survive.”
Chaoyang smacked his lips but did not respond.
We found a few backpacks, packed some available medicine and portable food, asked Liu Liu and the others to carry them, and then opened the heavy iron door.
"Why has the sky turned into this color?" I looked up and saw that the sky that was clear yesterday had turned into a dark orange-red color, and the visibility was extremely low. I didn't know if it was smog or something floating in the sky.
"The sandstorm is coming soon..."
