Apocalypse: I pick up trash in a survival game

Chapter 312: Isolation Area, Poisoned Patients
However, despite experiencing many twists and turns and dangers along the way, fortunately, Suning and others finally managed to return to the Fifth Shelter safely.

At this moment, night has fallen and the entire shelter is shrouded in darkness, with only a few lights flickering in it.

Ma Feng did not dare to delay at all and walked quickly towards where Gu Chengan lived.

Suning followed closely behind, and when they finally arrived, Ma Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm finally back!"

Gu Cheng'an was originally very happy to see Suning's arrival. Suning has the ability to control toxins, which he saw with his own eyes, so he wanted Suning to solve the current predicament in the shelter. He hoped that Suning's arrival would allow the shelter to successfully overcome this difficulty.

However, before he could say anything to Suning, he did not expect Ma Feng to come over carrying Lu Ming.

When his eyes fell on Lu Ming who was carried on Ma Feng's shoulders, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

He thought this guy was seriously injured, but when Gu Cheng'an observed Lu Ming's complexion in detail, he found that although Lu Ming's eyes were closed, his face was unusually rosy. He didn't look like he had suffered much damage, but more like he had taken some tonic.

Gu Cheng'an was confused and hurried forward to ask, "Lu Ming, what happened? Why are you in such a mess? Did you get attacked by the enemy outside the shelter?"

Ma Feng was a little tired after carrying the kid all the way and did not answer Gu Cheng'an's question in time. He first snatched a few bottles of water from Gu Cheng'an, quickly unscrewed the lids in a hurry, tilted his head back and drank them in big gulps. His anxious look obviously showed that he had been thirsty for a long time.

Gulp, dong, he finished a bottle of water in an instant.

Ma Feng: "Great!"

After taking a short breath, he handed another bottle of water to Suning.

Suning reached out to take the water bottle, but did not rush to drink it.

After all, she was riding on the chicken's back the whole way, so she didn't consume too much energy.

The ones who suffer are the broiler chickens.

I saw Suning gently unscrew the bottle cap, then carefully put the bottle mouth to the broiler's mouth, and said gently: "Xiao Rou, drink some water and take a rest."

The broiler chicken called out happily twice and lowered its head to drink.

Meanwhile, Gu Cheng'an on the side was still looking at Lu Ming who was in the awakened state.

He also heard Ma Feng's explanation: "Awakening?" Gu Cheng'an didn't quite understand, and saw Ma Feng said seriously:

"This was discovered by Suning. To be honest, I only know a little about it. However, if you don't believe it, you can ask Mu Feiyu to identify Lu Ming's condition."

Speaking of Mu Feiyu, Suning couldn't help but become interested.

However, Gu Chengan said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about this. Coincidentally, just when you went to find Suning, I had already sent Mu Feiyu to the First Shelter to find out what the next natural disaster would be."

"Oh, then let's wait for him to come back and see what Lu Ming's situation is. But in fact, in my opinion, there is no need to go to the First Shelter to ask. Even if we don't go there, we can probably guess what the next natural disaster will be like."

Hearing this, Gu Chengan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Feng, "Oh? Why are you so sure?"

Ma Feng glanced at Suning, and then told Gu Chengan in detail about the dangers they encountered along the way and the mutant plant [Giant Vine] that appeared. In addition, Suning had already discussed with Ma Feng what the upcoming natural disaster might look like.

Ma Feng also agreed with Suning's guess at first. The next natural disaster might be the appearance of mutant creatures. Ma Feng also analyzed according to Suning's idea and said, "I have a strong feeling that there will be more and more mutant plants and insects outside in the near future. Not only are their numbers huge, but their strength should not be underestimated! So the natural disaster might be caused by these mutant creatures."

Gu Cheng'an looked serious after hearing this. He knew the threat posed by mutated biological plants and was fully aware of the seriousness and urgency of this incident.

But Suning on the side obviously did not come here to solve these problems for Gu Chengan.

Su Ning: "Manager Gu, since I have agreed to come and help you resolve this crisis, let's not waste any more time. I really want to see what kind of toxin can make you so anxious."

Hearing this, Ma Feng slapped his forehead and blamed himself, "Oh! Look at my memory. I was so busy talking to you about the mutant creatures outside the shelter that I forgot such an important thing. Boss Gu, how about we take Miss Su to the quarantine area now?"

As he said this, he looked at Gu Chengan.

Gu Chengan nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Although he still had many doubts about the mutant creatures, Gu Cheng'an knew that the most critical thing at the moment was to solve the poisoning problem of the residents in the shelter.

He said no more, and after making arrangements for Lu Ming, he turned around and took Suning towards the quarantine area.

Along the way, Suning looked at the surrounding environment curiously.

The Fifth Sanctuary has also undergone major changes.

When passing a residential area, Suning suddenly found an area tightly wrapped in blue cloth.

The area looked quite mysterious, which aroused Suning's strong curiosity.

Because she remembered that when she first came to the Fifth Shelter to rent a house, it was within this sealed-off area.

Why is it blocked now? Suning couldn't help but ask the people around him.

Ma Feng explained with a serious expression, "The reason why the poisoning incident occurred in the Fifth Shelter was originally from this area. However, as to what caused the poisoning, we still don't know anything so far. What's even more strange is that anyone who sets foot in that area will be poisoned."

Hearing this, Su Ning couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Even Mu Feiyu couldn't find out the specific cause of the poisoning with his ability?"

Gu Chengan then slowly said, "I really didn't dare to take the risk of letting him enter that area to check, after all, I was worried that he would be poisoned. Fortunately, this toxin does not seem to be contagious."

Afterwards, everyone entered the isolation area where the poisoned residents were located.

But when Suning actually saw the poisoned people lying on the hospital beds, he was surprised to find that these injured people were completely different from the poisoned patients he had imagined in his mind.

The people in front of him were surprisingly quiet. They lay quietly on the hospital beds as if they were sleeping, without any sign of struggle or pain.

Seeing this, Gu Chengan felt compassion and said solemnly: "The most terrifying thing about this poison is that it will not cause people to die quickly in extreme pain. On the contrary, it will slowly erode people's spiritual will and weaken their vitality bit by bit until they eventually die."
