That makes sense. Ordinary people will not be able to swim through the salt water as long as they hold their breath and do not open their eyes, but ...... For a mutated XIZ infected person like Ono to be soaked in salt water, the pain would be unimaginable to ordinary people - after all, the little tears I cried just now made Ono feel so uncomfortable.

So that's it...... This is supposed to be a special escape passage for non-infected people to prevent officials from accidentally falling into this room, right? As long as they get into this pool, they can be guaranteed that they will not be brutalized by the infected who are being held.

But it should be said that they are ruthless or will be tricky, and they have come up with such a solution. Since you don't want to stay in such a place, why don't you consider the feelings of the infected people who are being held here?

But...... Maybe the officials are also helpless. Afraid of the spread of the virus, under the conditions at that time, they could only be isolated in this way, which is indeed understandable.

But in this way, it can be very accurately determined that it was indeed XIZ infected people who were once held here. In other words, the XIZ virus has existed for a long time.

But...... I glanced back at Ono, who had begun to nudge me and urge me again, and secretly made a decision in my heart.

Pulling Ono back two steps, I turned around, looked at him steadily, and shook my head resolutely: "I'm not leaving." If you can't get out, then I won't go out either, I can't leave you alone. ”

Ono looked at me a little dumbfounded, then suddenly lowered his head sharply, as if to ease his emotions, then raised his head again, said something "coo-ang", and then gently pushed me with his "tentacles", as if to say, "I don't care, since you can go out, let's go first." ”

I'm in a bit of a hurry. Ono alone doesn't know how long he's been in this dark ghost place, and now that I know he's here, how can I keep him alone? If you don't go, you won't go.

As a sign of determination, I let go of his "tentacles" and ran back a few more steps alone, then sat down on the ground and shook my head violently to show my determination.

As a result, I sat too hard and something fell out of the side of the backpack.

When I picked it up, it was a brown pill bottle containing some blood-red pills - pills found in the leather suitcase of the guest room that night. At that time, I grabbed a handful with my brother and the three of them and stuffed it into my pocket, and when I was packing up and preparing to go with Dean Lu, I thought it might be useful to bring it, so I took an empty medicine bottle and put it up.

I suddenly had a flash of inspiration - since this was made by "Mom and Dad" imitating the trial medicine I let them take, then, if Ono took this medicine, would he be able to turn back into human form and leave here??

But...... After all, this is a medicine made from the dragon boat flower raised at home, didn't the younger brother say that "Mom and Dad" found that the real trial medicinal dragon boat flower is a different variety? …… And with the handicraft of "Mom and Dad", is there really no problem with the medicine that comes out of this?

But...... It's all dragon boat flowers, even if the medicinal effect of different varieties may not be so good, it shouldn't be harmful to the body, right? After all, how much can you hurt your body by eating dried flowers? It's still worth trying - and in the past, my mother always said that the dragon boat flower has many benefits, and it can also be used as medicine, saying that it has the effect of dispersing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, regulating menstruation, and lowering blood pressure, so eating it should be helpful to the body.

Of course, the premise is that the ingredients in the pill are "Mom and Dad" other than the dragon boat flower, and they have added the right ones......

But...... I remember that "Mom" once told us that Dragon Boat Flower seems to be the source of the XIZ virus, and it doesn't look like she is joking with us, is it true? …… If it's true, then maybe eating this flower may really cause us some harm.

But after so many years, I don't see any problems with our family...... And since it is said that it can be used as medicine, and this flower is so common, many people must have tried it, but I have never heard of any problems. At least there is no news that we are forbidden to take dragon boat flowers, which must mean that it is okay to eat them - my parents only became what they are now after eating Xinnuo No. 2, although it is uncertain whether they have been infected. But even if it is infected, it is infected in the factory, and it has nothing to do with the dragon boat flower wool.

Could it be that "Mom and Dad" are they mistaken?

However, this medicine at least looks quite similar to the real thing, and the effect should not be too different from the real thing...... Should......

In other words...... why did "Mom and Dad" tell their younger brother so obediently about their discovery? Isn't it supposed to be hidden...... Could it be that the younger brother is really actually their "kind"?! ……

I quickly shook my head and threw the thought out of my head. It's been really too conspiracy theory lately, why even my family has begun to doubt it.

At this time, Ono also noticed the bottle in my hand, stretched out his "tentacles" and poked them, his eyes rolled, and his face was full of doubt.

I hesitated, but handed the bottle to Ono, and explained the situation, emphasizing that the effect of this medicine is indeed completely unknown, and whether there are any side effects is completely uncertain, and let Ono make his own choice - after all, this may be his last way to escape, and the choice should be on him and not on me.

Ono took the medicine bottle, weighed the pros and cons, and poured out a pill and ate it.

My hand was raised, but it was still silently lowered, and then I quickly took out a tube of unknown serum from my uncle from my bag-it was said to have been given to my uncle by Dean Lu when he was at home, in order to show my uncle's gratitude for being willing to go to City D to rescue him. My uncle accepted it very unceremoniously, and gave it to my brother and me, saying that in case of emergency, he would inject himself into it, and in most cases he could save his life - he would be injected with one of his "tentacles" by grabbing him. Fortunately, when I was taken to help my uncle during the summer vacation, I learned how to inject others with my younger brother.

At least with this tube of serum, it can prevent some unstable factors from occurring, and my heart will be more steady.

"The effect of the medicine should not be so fast, we have to wait." I lifted my wrist and looked at my watch—based on Mom and Dad's situation, the pills would have to wait another five or six hours for them to work. I beckoned Ono over and motioned for him to sit down next to me, intending to chat with him and ask him for something by the way.
