The village doesn't look like a village because there are only a few houses.
They hurried over, and as soon as Yu An entered, he began searching for the survivors.
"There wasn't a single survivor."
They didn't see any survivors, only several corpses.
"Xie Chiyuan, what do the people here do? They don't seem like the kind of people who do hard labor."
Yu An squatted down to examine the corpses. Although the corpses were dressed in ordinary clothes, a closer look revealed that they were people who had never done heavy work.
"I'll go inside and take a look."
Xie Chiyuan vaguely felt that these houses were just for show.
Half an hour later, Yu An was summoned by Xie Chiyuan.
"Look, doesn't this look like a prison cell?"
Beneath the house lies a massive basement. And the basement's structure resembles a prison cell where something is held.
Yu An looked around, then touched the wall with his finger.
There was blood on the wall.
The blood on the wall was thick; it was impossible to tell how much blood had been spilled on it.
Yu An looked at the bloodstains, then at the surroundings. He confirmed Xie Chiyuan's words: "This is the prison, and someone tortured the things locked inside."
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so much blood.
But the cell is now empty, and they have no idea what was ever imprisoned there.
I don't know how long I stayed there.
Xie Chiyuan and Yu An went outside for some fresh air. They sat outside and ate the food that Xie Chiyuan had brought.
"Xie Chiyuan, do you think this might be another laboratory?"
Based on past experience, these places that do bad things are mostly related to laboratories.
Xie Chiyuan shook his head: "There are no experimental equipment down there, and the environment isn't suitable for any experiments."
The environment is too harsh; even if the lab is in a terrible state, it's impossible to conduct experiments here.
While they were still searching for clues, the kids who had just finished their nap were now fully awake.
Chiu Chiu was very happy to see the babies come back.
He introduced Xiaolu to Bazai, and Xiaolu was also asked by Qiuqiu to greet these little ones.
Bazai looked at Xiaolu, then pulled Qiuqiu over and whispered, "This guy doesn't seem very bright. Where did you find him?"
Because Xiao Lu still stutters, Ba Zai doesn't feel any resentment at all seeing him getting close to Qiu Qiu.
"He's not unintelligent, he's just a little slow to react."
Qiuqiu spoke up for Xiaolu, not wanting Xiaolu to be seen as silly.
Eighty was soaking in Chiu Chiu's water, while Seveny's gaze was fixed on the extra tents.
Chiu Chiu also told the people living in the tents.
After saying that, Qiuqiu even went to find them.
His older brother wasn't home, so he went to check on them.
The tent door was opened, and the woman inside frowned when she saw Qiuqiu.
"Didn't your older brother come?"
No, I came to see you.
Chuchu answered her question and said, "You can stay in the tent today, and I will give you food for another day."
This was something his older brother would do, so Qiuqiu imitated him perfectly. He stood in for his older brother and glared at them: "I won't give you the food for today for nothing. You have to provide us with valuable clues about this place."
Chiu Chiu transforms into a negotiation expert, talking with the three of them.
The other children gathered around, their eyes fixed on the three of them, making them breathe rapidly.
Chirp chirp has little wings, Eighty occasionally waves out a small tentacle, and Niney is covered by an umbrella.
Their appearance seemed to be blatantly telling these people: I am a mutant.
As we all know, aberrations are very dangerous.
Ye Hui took a deep breath. She was indeed a little hungry. Yu An had given her very little food yesterday, which was not enough to fill her stomach.
"Food and safety, we can provide you with both."
"Just tell us a little more about this place."
The children gathered around the tent entrance, their eyes fixed on the person in front of them.
Ye Hui felt her scalp tingle as they stared at her.
She stepped back, but the two men behind her couldn't protect her at all.
"We mean no harm."
Qiuqiu somehow got hold of a small stool and sat down right in front of Ye Hui.
Under this pressure, Ye Hui finally spoke up—
“I work for the South District Underground Prison. The underground prison holds the most vicious bad guys and monsters. I’m responsible for keeping an eye on them and preventing them from escaping.”
"But they still managed to escape from prison, and not only that, they also hunted me down."
"I'm being watched by them now."
Ye Hui revealed her identity and then pleaded with them, "Can you save me? I want to live. I don't want to be targeted by monsters."
What kind of monster is it?
Chiu Chiu ignored her sob story and interrupted her, saying, "Tell me more specifically."
Ye Hui: "..."
Ye Hui bit her lip.
She described the monsters as: "They were sent from the South District, bad guys who killed a lot of people, and death row inmates awaiting execution. There were also some mutants."
After hearing the last sentence, Chiu Chiu's voice grew louder: "What kind of mutants? What do they all look like?"
Ye Hui looked at the mutants in front of her, carefully choosing her words, and described them: "When these mutants were sent here, they were not in their original state, so I don't know exactly what they look like."
"But I know they are all utterly wicked. Because the mutants are so difficult to kill, we can only lock him up to prevent him from going out and harming humans."
"Where are the cells?"
"The cells are empty; a monster has escaped."
Ye Hui's words were relayed to her older brother by Qiu Qiu via phone.
Yu An, after receiving the call, didn't react much after listening to the call.
He and Xie Chiyuan were already in the prison, so they could deduce what Qiuqiu had said.
There is one thing Ye Hui lied about.
The mutants are kept here not because they are difficult to kill.
There are mutants that have been killed here, and what killed the mutants were the missing doses of the drug.
"Chirp chirp, keep an eye on them."
Yu An gave instructions to Qiu Qiu, and only after hearing Qiu Qiu's loud reply did he hang up the phone.
The call ended.
Yu An looked up at Xie Chiyuan: "Xie Chiyuan, do you think this was done by the Southern District?"
"It's not certain yet."
Xie Chiyuan went outside; he planned to make a phone call to Chi Niao first.
The medicine that has been scattered outside is a significant hidden danger.
If they've all been used, then it's fine. Anyway, there won't be any more in the future.
But Red Bird still has 30 left, and he doesn't know if he's used them all.
Fortunately, the signal here was still intact. Chi Niao answered Xie Chiyuan's call.
"Potion?"
Red Bird raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Xie Chiyuan's sudden question: "I did go to get these potions a long time ago."
"What, you need them?"
Xie Chiyuan ignored his question and continued asking his own: "How much do you have left?"
"There should still be a little left; we didn't use it all up back then." Red Bird sensed his interest in the item and, without any hesitation, made an exorbitant demand.
"If you want it, I can find it and sell it to you."
As he spoke, he quoted an astronomical figure.
“You’re the boss of the West District now, you should be able to come up with this money.”
This time, Chi Niao's demands were even more ruthless than before. You must remember, he was once treated like a fat sheep by Xie Chiyuan.
"I don't need it."
Xie Chiyuan was only trying to find out how much Red Bird had used, how much stock it had, and—
What were you planning to do with this medicine back then?
"Someone told me that this can cure deformities."
Red Bird frowned at this thought. His expression was not pleasant: "I've been deceived. These medicines can't cure the injured mutants at all."
"The mutant I wanted to save still died right in front of me."
As he spoke, his expression darkened.
"Xie Chiyuan, if you want to buy them now, I can give you a discount."
