"Damn it, Taozi, your fart was too strong! It's so annoying!"
The kitchen space is already small, and others only felt a pungent smell in the air, but it was not as serious as Chen Tao.
Chen Tao held back his nausea and took a glance. There was still less than half of the liquid in the tank. It was dark and dark and he didn't know what was soaking in it. It smelled extremely bad.
Being suddenly hit by the disgusting smell, Chen Tao's stomach churned for a while, and he almost burst into tears. He quickly put the lid back, ran outside to the corridor and vomited for a long time without recovering.
Haozi followed him out, patted Chen Tao on the back, got him a bottle of water and said, "I left you to stir around, now you are happy! I don't even know what to say to you!"
Chen Tao bent over and raised his hand and waved: "Holy shit, it disgusts me to death, it smells worse than that rotten branch!"
It took a long time before Chen Tao got out of the violent feeling of vomiting. He was almost exhausted from vomiting, and beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead.
Reaching out to take the mineral water handed over by Haozi, Chen Tao rinsed his mouth a few times, drank more than half of the bottle, covered his stomach and leaned against the wall on the side and said: "MD, what is in it? It can kill people!"
"Are you okay?" Yang Lixuan came over, holding a small white medicine bottle in his hand and handed it to Chen Tao: "Drink it."
Chen Tao raised his head and glanced at Yang Lixuan, hesitated for a moment, reached out to take the medicine bottle and asked: "It's a small medicine bottle again. Does your family run a pharmacy?"
Yang Lixuan didn't speak. Chen Tao endured the discomfort in his stomach and unscrewed the lid of the medicine bottle. A faint aroma came out, and his stomach seemed to be rescued instantly. The strong feeling of vomiting was relieved a lot, and his whole body seemed to They all felt a little more energetic.
"Mint and a special herb are added to it, which can relieve vomiting and dispel corpse poison inhaled into the lungs in a short period of time."
Looking at the light green liquid inside, Chen Tao couldn't help but wonder: "You...couldn't you have made all of these yourself? Where did you learn so many weird things?"
"A friend taught me." Yang Lixuan said nothing, and turned back to the cafeteria without saying a word. But when he just spoke, Chen Tao noticed the look of disappointment in his eyes.
"There must be some story in this..." thinking to himself, he raised his head and drank the liquid in the small bottle in one gulp.
The medicinal liquid is extremely refreshing in the mouth, and the light mint fragrance has a very refreshing effect. Chen Tao swallowed it in one gulp, feeling the comfort in his stomach. He smacked his lips with some aftertaste and said, "It tastes good... Do you have any more?"
The man in the cafeteria ignored him. Chen Tao stuck out his tongue at Haozi and said, "You see, this is the boss. He talks harsh words but is reliable in his actions."
"That's a lot of nonsense!" Haozi looked at him with contempt and said, "Okay? Come back when you're done. Uncle Long and the others are still waiting for you." After saying that, he threw the mineral water bottle in Chen Tao's arms and turned around. Entered the cafeteria.
"Tch, just show off." Seeing Haozi's slightly unhappy look, Chen Tao muttered jokingly. After drinking some more water, I felt that there was no discomfort in my stomach. I couldn't help but admired: "That guy's potion is really magical. If you take it out and open a shop, the business will definitely be good."
Thinking wildly, Chen Tao put on the gas mask again and got up and returned to the previous kitchen. The unpleasant smell was still there, and the lid of the water tank had been put back. Everyone was rummaging around in the kitchen, and found several broken bowls, scattered knives, and moldy chopsticks on the floor.
"How are you doing? Are you feeling better?" Uncle Long asked when Chen Tao came back.
"Don't worry, it's okay. It was just too sudden and I couldn't bear it." Chen Tao waved his hand.
"What did I tell you before I came down? Don't touch things. Now you know how powerful it is, right?" Uncle Long's voice was filled with a hint of anger.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Long, I will pay attention." Facing Uncle Long's concern and blame, Chen Tao felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly changed the subject:
"What on earth is in there? It's so disgusting."
"What? Boy, did you know that you were almost infected with corpse poison just now! If it weren't for the gas mask that blocked it, plus the medicine that person gave you, you would have been lying on the ground by now." Yan turned away from Chen Tao One glance said.
After hearing his words, Chen Tao couldn't help but be shocked:
"Wha...what? Corpse poison?"
Chen Tao opened his mouth in surprise: "How is that possible? There are no salted fish rice dumplings here, wait... holy shit, no!"
Chen Tao took a step back and turned to look at the small water tank, "You mean... there is a person in this?"
When I thought of the pungent and unpleasant smell just now, and the half-cylinder of dark, viscous liquid inside, I felt a cold air running down my spine and into every pore of my scalp, and my stomach couldn't help but twitch again.
"It's not a human, it's a fish. It scares you." Yan curled his lips and smiled.
"..."
Chen Tao was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. He recalled the time when he followed the professor to rescue an ancient tomb. The staff in front of him accidentally opened the lid of a sealed coffin, and the poisonous gas emanating from it knocked them unconscious. Chen Tao was only able to work as an assistant to the professor, so he was far away, and since it was an open-air excavation, the smell dissipated quickly, so he was spared, but it took him several days to recover from the discomfort.
"How could it be a fish? Do fish also have corpse poison?"
"Who said that only salted fish rice dumplings contain corpse poison? Animal corpses are also corpses, and they can also contain corpse poison. It is so humid here, with warm winters and cool summers, it is simply a paradise for microorganisms and bacteria. The fish bubbles in the water tank Decades have passed, enough to kill someone." Yan shrugged, still looking cynical.
"When raising fish in this environment, the fish will not live very long. These should be brought in from outside for food. There are some moldy and rotten things in the other small water tank, which should be leftover vegetables and the like. They didn't take these with them when they retreated," Uncle Long said.
"It seems that the accommodation and food of that group were pretty good. In such a special environment underground, they built such a large underground factory and provided good working and living conditions, which is enough to prove that their funding sources are sufficient. There must be support from large financial groups such as the government." Yang Lixuan said.
"I still think...this group of Japanese are of the same nature as Unit 731. Otherwise, why would they make such a big fuss in such a quiet place?" Chen Tao stuck to his initial judgment.
Ever since he came to Blackwater Town, he has always had an inexplicable feeling. He couldn't describe this feeling. Every time he encountered any problem, he would always have an intuition in his heart, just like the intuition he had about Heizigou. There seemed to be something guiding his thinking. Every time, he chose to follow Uncle Long's instructions and choices. However, in the end, it seemed that the truth was the same as his original judgment.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go!" Haozi patted Chen Tao on the shoulder.
Shaking his head, Chen Tao put aside these messy thoughts and followed everyone out of the canteen. He was the last one to leave the kitchen. Just as he was about to step out of the door frame, there was a faint sound of Haloxylon salsa in his ears, as if something was crawling. Chen Tao quickly turned around and looked around, but there was nothing.
"It's weird..." The sound just now was very real, not like an illusion. After hesitating, Chen Tao's attention turned again to the short water tank with black water in it. The lid had been put back on. Chen Tao stared at the small water tank not far away and moved forward cautiously.
Suddenly, a hand hit his shoulder heavily, and Chen Tao's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
"Haozi, what are you doing! You scared me to death!" Looking at Li Hao who suddenly appeared behind him, Chen Tao couldn't help but said angrily.
"I've been calling you for a long time, but you can't move. What are you looking at?"
"I...what..." Chen Tao gasped, but was interrupted by Haozi before he finished speaking.
"Oh, what are you doing? Uncle Long and the others are still waiting for you outside, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" After saying that, he pulled Chen Tao and walked out. Chen Tao looked at the water tank and always felt that something was wrong, but he could not find what was wrong.
After being dragged out of the cafeteria by Haozi, Uncle Long looked at Chen Tao who was a little distracted and couldn't help but frowned: "Taotao, what's going on with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No...it's okay, I just feel a little dazed."
"You were just hit by the corpse gas in the water tank, and you vomited for so long. It's been almost a day since you came down. Let's take a rest later and take it easy." After that, he looked at the tight doors deep in the corridor. The closed iron door said:
"There are only these three or two rooms left here. Let's try to move as quickly as possible. Although we have reached the bottom of the Man-Eating Valley, we are still far from our destination!"
