Chapter 16: Deadly Pollen

It turned out that the man's name was Ah Xiang, and just half a year ago, there was a factory in the suburbs recruiting workers, and a large number of people were recruited into the factory, and later they were taken to a cave.

Their job is to grow a flower that is very delicate but grows in shade, and it can't be watered too much or it will wilt, and the fertilizer for this flower is also very special.

Ah Xiang said that they had stayed in the cave for several months and had not gone out, and that they had lived a dark (5) day every day, and that they were desperate in their hearts, and that they had to work every day except for five or six hours of sleep.

Later, many of them fell ill, and Ah Xiang found that the pollen of those flowers was poisonous, and some people inhaled the pollen inadvertently because of poor resistance, and there would be red rashes, and over time lesions would occur, and people would become delirious and eventually even skin ulcers, but with that kind of continued use of dark pollen can maintain a life.

Once Ah Xiang got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, he found that many people around him were infected, and those seriously ill workers were concentrated in one place.

Ah Xiang secretly followed behind those people, but saw a scene that he could not forget for the rest of his life, the people who slept next to him yesterday were thrown into the pit today, it turned out that there would be a few people who disappeared every day, and the person in charge said that they were sent to other mines to help, and it turned out that those people were thrown into the pile of dead people, and they would become fertilizer in the future.

Ah Xiang returned to his bed, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, this was a demon cave, and there was only one way to die if he stayed here, and he could only survive if he escaped.

From then on, Ah Xiang began to plan the escape route, and he kept an eye on the time of the guards every day, and the second half of the night was the loosest time, and some of them almost fell asleep standing up.

One night, Ah Xiang pretended to go to the toilet and secretly ran to the entrance of the cave, but there were many people guarding each exit.

Ah Xiang originally wanted to sneak out while they were napping. But there were too many people at the door, and it was impossible for him to go out from the front alone, and Ah Xiang was discovered when he turned back.

He ran forward desperately, but unfortunately there were too many sentry posts in the cave, and Ah Xiang was caught between the front and back, and when there was no way out, he chose to jump off the deep pit.

The people standing on it all laughed and finally left. For they know that whoever falls into the pit will surely die, and that no one will leave alive.

Ah Xiang also thought that he was going to die this time, and he sat on top of the pile of dead people in despair, leaning against the wall and waiting for death. It was at this time that he faintly heard the sound of water. Ah Xiang pressed his ear to the wall, and yes, he could hear the sound of rushing water.

Ah Xiang instantly perked up, no matter what the result was, at least there was a little hope for now, he took out the tools he had prepared in advance, a small shovel, which they used to fertilize the flowers. I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

He took the shovel and fought through his day and night, and found that behind the pit was a sewer, and Ah Xiang went out along the sewer, and as he expected, the outlet of the sewer happened to be at the bottom of the river.

Although Ah Xiang managed to escape, he was also infected with the virus, and he took advantage of the night to sneak back to the compound. He's been hiding there ever since. Every day the children would bring him something to eat.

When Ah Xiang handed the pollen to Shen Jiayi, he was about to die.

"After I died, I burned my body, I hope you can get out of Xiao Wu's parents, their whereabouts are still unknown. This is a map of the cave, which I drew from memory. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of brown paper from his body, on which there was a map and some strange signs.

Qu Zunming took the map in Ah Xiang's hand, Ah Xiang's eyebrows lowered, and the whole person seemed to be dying. He made a small voice, as if he couldn't even hear himself.

"I'll leave these children to you, and I can finally leave with peace of mind!"

Soon Ah Xiang couldn't even breathe, he was really dead. Qu Zunming looked at Ah Xiang's appearance, he almost didn't have a piece of complete flesh on his body, even if he lived, he would have to endure a lot of pain, and people living in this world could not even guarantee a minimum of personal safety, maybe he would suffer a natural disaster or a man-made disaster that day.

Qu Zunming is determined to help them and give them a safe and peaceful world.

After Ah Xiang's death, Shen Jiayi and Qu Zunming found someone to place Ah Xiang's body in the back mountain, and then burned him into ashes before burying him according to his last wishes, and the next day they placed the children in the church.

Shen Jiayi took those pollen back for testing, and the test results came out quickly, that kind of pollen is poisonous, but it can be used as an ingredient in psychiatric drugs, which can control people's consciousness, but if you take a large amount, you will be poisoned, and the mild symptoms will turn into delirium, if it is serious, it will be like Ah Xiang, and finally the skin will ulcerate and die. The most terrible thing is that so far no antidote has been found for this poison.

Qu Zunming looked at the test sheet, and couldn't help but feel a tight heart, it turned out that those people knew that this was poison, why did they still produce it in large quantities, didn't they know the seriousness of the consequences.

Shen Jiayi looked at Qu Zunming's serious face,

"What's going to do next?"

Qu Zunming knew the seriousness of the matter, this matter could not be delayed, the longer the time passed, the more people would die, he looked at Shen Jiayi and said lightly,

"You're tired today, I'll go back and prepare first, and we'll act at night!"

Shen Jiayi looked at Qu Zunming, she instantly felt that her body was stiff, as if her arms couldn't be lifted, she really didn't stop today, and now she still feels very hungry,

Shen Jiayi sighed softly and said,

"Brother Qu, I'm hungry, let's go eat something first, I know that there is a dumpling restaurant near here, the dumplings are delicious, I invite you to eat it is your impression!"

Qu Zunming looked at her and then remembered that he didn't seem to have eaten for a day, he was really hungry, and he had never had a day as fulfilling as today, as long as there was a case to investigate, it seemed to be back to the old days.

The two of them crossed the street and saw the dumpling restaurant in front, although the place was not beaten, but there were many people. A small shop is full of people.

Qu Zunming and Shen Jiayi found a hidden place to sit down, Qu Zunming is an analogy in the middle, and the taste in the taste is inexplicably homesick.

Shen Jiayi looked at him with an indifferent expression, as if there was something on his mind.

"What's wrong with you, doesn't this dumpling restaurant have a homely taste, and when I was a child, I especially liked to eat the dumplings that my grandmother made for me?"

Qu Zunming looked at her and nodded with a smile, but the whole person unconsciously fell into deep thought.......
