Chapter 111: Blessing
There was an exclamation and cheers from the house, and many people rushed out of the house and looked around Laifu up and down in surprise, making sure that it was really unscathed, and Laifu was well-behaved like a docile pet dog in the house, lying quietly on the ground and not moving.
Seeing Laifu's performance, the bold one tentatively got closer, and saw that it was really docile and had no intention of hurting people, so he put his mind at ease, and someone asked: "Second master, why don't mosquitoes bite it?" Does it have anything to do with the liquid you apply to it? ”
"It matters! This is my mosquito repellent plant mashed, add water to boil into the juice, last night I tried it, over the wall out of a trip, the effect is very good, today and worried that last night may not have many mosquitoes to have this effect, just take this dog to try. ”
"As you can see, this juice is the hope of our escape. However, there are not many of these medicinal juices, and I have only made this little bit all night, and after a while, everyone will come up and collect the stems and leaves, and we will make some more. ”
"But... It's winter now, the flowers and plants are not so lush, so many of us, we probably have to use up all the plants in this yard, without the coercion of these mosquito repellent plants, these mosquitoes will not rush in? A pony asked
"I thought about this too, so I went out last night to fix it." Wang He took a large bundle of dead branches and leaves from a corner, and even a section of the trunk of a tree, and threw them in front of everyone.
"This is the branches and fallen leaves of the Seven Mile Tree, Mountain Pepper Tree, and Camphor Tree that I got back last night, although these trees are dead, I think these branches should still have residual scent to repel mosquitoes, right?"
"Second master, I guess it's enough... None of this should work."
A white, thin and bespectacled offspring looked at the dead leaves and branches very carefully, Wang He remembered that this young man's name was Chang Ziwei, a medical student, not a local, and he didn't know how he ended up here.
According to his observation, Chang Ziwei is very calm when he fights, and he reacts quickly on the spot, but he is a good hand, and he belongs to a person who is good at using his brain to fight, which is very suitable for being a team leader.
"Why? Not to mention the rest, isn't the camphor wood used to make mothballs? What does that have to do with living and dead trees? Wang He asked in surprise.
"No, second master, if these trees are dead normally, then these branches and leaves can still repel mosquitoes, but I just took a look at it......" Chang Ziwei picked up a leaf, pinched a white particle on it, and gently crushed it with his fingertips to become a fine powder.
He stretched out his fingertips to Wang He and said, "These dead leaves are stained with quicklime, and someone must have burned the roots of these trees with quicklime." ”
"Of course, this reason alone does not affect its insect repellent effect, but these branches are very seriously carbonized, and there is a strong smell of chemicals, which must have used a large amount of concentrated sulfuric acid, which accelerated the death rate of these saplings that have not yet grown."
"You're saying it's artificial?" Hearing this, Wang He's narrowed eyes revealed a faint fierce light that others could not check.
"Yes, it's 100% man-made, it's obviously not a normal natural death...... Moreover, even if they have not been carbonized with concentrated sulfuric acid, these trees are not old enough, and the wood is difficult to handle, so they must all be sawn into dust and then used ......"
Chang Ziwei was still chattering, and the others were also listening very carefully, but Wang He was absent-minded, things were not much different from what he expected, in fact, the reason why he took back these branches was just to prove some guesses in his heart.
However, some words are not easy to ask openly, which will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the people who are doing this behind them, and there are no other spies among these more than ten people, so Wang He has to use this method to seek answers.
"What kind of immoral thing deliberately killed these insect repellent trees? Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a big trouble! I don't know who muttered in a low voice, and the people around nodded in agreement.
"Second uncle! I think the destruction of these trees has a lot to do with these mosquitoes, and maybe the mutant mosquito swarm is also artificial. ”
At the edge of the crowd, Wang Chong whispered in Wang He's ear, Wang He didn't say anything, just stared at the crowd discussing around Laifu and the branches, and carefully analyzed everyone's expressions and performances, especially those with medical experience.
However, it's a pity that several people don't look abnormal, is there a deviation in their guesses, and there are no spies planted by the other party among these people?
"Second uncle? Second uncle? ”
"Ah...... What? ”
"What's wrong, second uncle? Look you've been stunned! ”
"Oh! It's nothing, I'm just thinking, if we want to escape, it's not enough to have these mosquito repellent juices, we also need weapons that can stop mutant mosquito attacks, and those insect corpses, which are targeted by them, but the endless entanglement, I'm afraid that I will accidentally lead back to the farm. ”
Wang He rubbed his forehead and said with some worry: "The homemade improvised flamethrowers are almost all used up, and the gasoline brought by them has also been consumed, so the supply here is a big problem." ”
"Second uncle, this place is in a remote location, and the nearest gas station is twenty or thirty kilometers away, so my father has stored a lot of gasoline in the garage in case of emergency."
Wang Chong pointed to the garage, stepped forward, and whispered mysteriously: "There is also a secret room in the basement, which is where my father stores weapons and ammunition, and my father used to have many enemies, so I built this secret room just in case, only my father and I know." ”
"Really? Take me to see it. Wang He's eyes lit up when he heard this, what he lacked most now was weapons, if he could find grenades and smoke grenades, the success rate of escaping would be greatly increased.
Asking the stick to take people to the garage to check the stock of gasoline, Chang Ziwei led the others to make insect repellent medicine, and Wang He followed Wang Chong to the secret room he said.
The door of the basement is located in the kitchen, and people have gone down to search it before, but in addition to some sundries and tools, there is only one activity room for leisure and entertainment, and Wang He has also gone down to the basement for the first time.
As soon as I went down the stairs, on the left were some tools and daily necessities commonly used at home, neatly placed on the shelves, and on the right hand side were neatly filled with all kinds of canned food and bottled water, but it was already partially empty, and it seemed that today's breakfast came like this.
In a row of shelves against the wall at the back, there are all kinds of famous sake "Huh! Your father is really planning for a rainy day! With so much food stored, there's still wine? ”
"My father is also cautious and accustomed to it, he is not a big official, and he always feels that someone wants to harm him, not only here, but also other properties in the family are prepared in this way, who knows that the end of the world is such an outrageous thing."
As he spoke, Wang Chong pushed open a double-open door in the middle, and inside was a spacious hall with a partition, and the layout was even more magnificent.
There is not only a home theater, a pool table, a bar, but also a gaming table, a slot machine, a carousel gambling machine, and almost every kind of entertainment imaginable.
Wang Chong took a few steps in front of him, and the sunlight in the basement could not shine in, but fortunately, Wang Bo had prepared a lot of various emergency lighting things, not only had dry battery emergency lights that could be used for a long time, but also prepared several boxes of candles.
At this time, Wang Chong led the way, grabbed a candle and lit it as he walked, and placed it in the room, Wang He saw that there was a room with a closed door in the depths of the hall, so he asked, "Is that the so-called secret room?" ”
"How is it possible, second uncle! How can it be called a secret room so obvious...... But the Chamber of Secrets is indeed inside. ”
After speaking, Wang Chong stepped forward and pushed open the door a few steps, and slowly illuminated the room as the candle was lit, and the scene behind the door surprised Wang He.
Laifu lay alone in the courtyard, and the people around him were busy with the things at hand, and no one paid attention to it.
I don't know if it's out of trust in Wang He, or if Laifu's performance is too docile, everyone is completely defenseless against this former mutant dog king, as if it is really a domestic pet dog.
After lying alone for a long time, the stomach that had not eaten enough began to growl, and it looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to it, and the terrible person was not around.
After a moment of hesitation, it got up and began to wander around, trying to find something to satisfy its hunger, and as it walked around, it came to the gate of the courtyard.
The unlocked iron door was opened by a slight squeeze from Laifu's strong body, and although it didn't understand why it hadn't been attacked by mosquitoes just now, it undoubtedly diluted its fear of these mutant insects.
Laifu walked out of the iron gate slowly, looked at the insects flying in the sky, and suddenly, jumped up, and pounced on a mosquito with a bite.
The crunching of a mosquito the size of a human thumb in its mouth, the protein-rich taste, made Laifu eat with relish, swallowed it in a few bites, it licked its mouth, and looked at the mosquitoes in the sky with unfinished eyes.
Relying on the smell of the medicine on his body, immune to the fate of being bitten, Laifu began to prey on a large scale, and within a while, he had swallowed more than 20 mosquitoes, and finally suffered a little hunger.
Just as it was about to repeat its old trick and come back to relieve its cravings, it had just jumped into the air when suddenly there was a sting in its neck, and a mosquito was slicing Fortune's neck with its terrifying mouthparts, and rolled up its body to burrow inward.
Only then did Rifford remember the horror of these mutant insects, rolled on the spot, turned around and ran towards the courtyard, but in an instant, several mosquitoes came towards it.
After a series of heart-rending screams, Rifle finally fled back to the courtyard and began to roll on the ground, crushing all the mosquitoes attached to it, and eating them in anger.
The people who were busy in the courtyard couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to appease and check whether Laifu was parasitic, and some of them had already run into the house to find Wang He.
