Chapter 50: A Lonely Man
The man didn't know if he was timid or hidden, and he nodded obediently whatever he said.
"Yes, yes, you ask, I answer. ”
I turned my head to look at Xu Zixuan, and then asked:
"Whose subordinate is the doctor who just transported the body in?"
The man paused slightly, then stopped and tilted his head, as if trying to look at my face.
I poked him in the back with a slinger and scolded:
"Say it quickly!"
Seeing that my attitude was strong, the man raised his hand in fear, and then said with a seeming hesitation:
"These doctors...... I know that, too. ”
Xu Zixuan frowned and exhaled, snatched the slinger in my hand, and said:
"Let me come!"
After speaking, she picked up the throwing stick, hit the man's back, and whipped it fiercely, hitting three or five sticks in a row, until the man fell to the ground, crying and pleading, she stopped, pointed at the man and said:
"If you want to be beaten, or honestly, you choose!"
Xu Rui and I pouted, for Xu Zixuan's violent behavior, I can only say society, society......
The man cried with a sad face and said aggrievedly:
"Stop fighting, I really don't know these doctors. ”
Xu Zixuan pouted, picked up the stick and was about to pull it down, the man hurriedly held his head and said quickly:
"I'm just working here as a janitor, and our boss must know these doctors......"
I stepped forward and grabbed Xu Zixuan's arm and asked:
"Your boss, aren't you Zhang Xiong?"
The man kept shaking his head and said:
"Our boss's name is Zhang Xiong. ”
I sighed a little disappointed, it turned out that this man was not Zhang Xiong.
Xu Rui asked at this time:
"What do those doctors do every time they come in in a van?"
The man began to lower his head again, making a look of not daring to answer, as long as Xu Zixuan raised his arm, he immediately said quickly:
"Don't fight, don't fight, they're coming in to get medicine. ”
I frowned and asked:
"Take the medicine?
This time, he replied briskly, and said directly:
"Potions to prevent corpses from rotting, our boss specializes in producing these. ”
After saying that, he also turned his head and pointed to the inside of the warehouse, indicating that the potion was there.
I stood up and thought that the doctors who collected the corpses had driven their cars here, and if they were just to get the medicine, it would mean that the bodies were being transported to another destination.
And to prevent the corpse from rotting, doesn't that mean that the place where it is transported is far away?
When I was thinking about it, Xu Zixuan had already urged the man and said:
"Take us to see the potion!"
The man stood up in fear, because he kept falling to the ground, his body was covered with dust, and coupled with his already sloppy image, he looked pitiful.
I had been asking the man questions just now, but I didn't look closely at the warehouse.
The warehouse is almost more than 1,000 square meters, quite large, on both sides of the mess placed a lot of waste tables, chairs and machines, should be the earliest former warehouse used things, in the middle of the position, piled up one or two meters high large boxes, the box is covered with oilcloth, naturally formed a lot of small forks, like a maze.
There were some windows at the top of the warehouse, but they were covered with black cloth, including the lamps hanging overhead, almost all of which were shattered, and they were covered with dust and cobwebs.
I was afraid that the man would take us on a detour, so I dragged him to the side, trying to avoid the large box area in the middle.
As I walked, I asked:
"What's in the big box here?"
The man quickly replied:
"It's all old materials used in the previous production, and they can't be disposed of here. ”
I went on to ask:
"Since your boss produces medicinal herbs, why did you choose this broken place?"
The man squeezed out a smile, shook his head and said:
"I don't know about this, I'm just getting paid......"
Xu Rui followed up and asked:
"Your boss produces potions here, why are you just an employee?"
As soon as we said that, we stopped almost at the same time, startled by what we saw.
There is a large tank in front of it, and it may not be very impressive, because it is almost 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, which can be used as a swimming pool.
The reason why it is said to be a large tank is because this large pool is round, the edge is as round and smooth as a bowl, and even the color of the material looks the same black earth color as the tank.
The vat was filled with a dark red liquid, darker than blood, bubbling and white smoke as if it had boiled.
The air was also filled with an extremely strange smell......
I've never seen anything like this before, and there's always a weird feeling that I can't put it indescribable.
The man quietly glanced back at us, and when he saw that we were stunned, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and whispered:
"The potion is here, and the reason why I don't want other employees is because the potion is prepared in advance, and then it needs to be boiled for a long time, and I can watch it alone......"
After the man finished speaking, his expression was much more relaxed than before, and he took the initiative to go to the edge of the vat, took a small wooden scoop, and stirred the liquid in the vat.
The three of us stepped forward, and Xu Zixuan asked coldly:
"What is this potion made of?"
The man bent over and sat on the edge of the vat, shaking his arms slightly, and his tone suddenly became particularly soothing:
"Potions......"
I noticed that something seemed wrong with this man, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he lowered his head and raised slightly, and his eyes gradually became sinister.
Suddenly, the man violently raised the wooden scoop in his hand, and the dark red liquid in the scoop sprinkled straight towards Xu Zixuan.
I glared and shouted:
"Be careful!"
At the same time, he stepped forward as fast as he could, grabbed Xu Zixuan's arm, and threw himself to the side.
The liquid spilled and fell to the ground with a "zizz!" sound, and then slowly turned milky white, and then the smoke rose, the liquid evaporated and dissipated, and the ground was a few more black patches.
After the man finished attacking Xu Zixuan, he ran away, as fast as a rabbit, and between two breaths, he got into the big box area in the center of the warehouse.
Xu Rui picked up the iron rod and chased after him, shouting:
"Don't run!"
I picked up Xu Zixuan and asked quickly:
"Are you alright?"
Xu Zixuan shook his head, staring at the direction where the man had fled just now, his face full of anger.
When I turned my head to look over, Xu Rui happened to be alone in the big box.
I frowned, and hurriedly shouted:
"Xu Rui, don't worry, wait for us together!"
Xu Zixuan returned the stick to me, took out the black scimitar himself, and the two of them followed quickly.
The man has long since disappeared, and Xu Rui has disappeared from our field of vision.
I began to get worried, and I pinched my slingstick and searched around the fork in the road full of large boxes.
After searching for a long time without results, I shouted anxiously:
"Xu Rui, make a sound, which direction are you in?"
What made people desperate was that my voice echoed in the warehouse, but Xu Rui did not respond, as if he had disappeared into the darkness.
I began to have a terrible thought in my head, could it be that Xu Rui had been given to him by that man......
