Chapter 72: Set off to investigate the shelter
Yuchuan and Yanshu collected the light cores and gave them to Shuangshuang.
Shuangshuang directly put all of them into the mall space.
After resting for a while, Cheng Xia stood on the strange rock and looked at the sky in the distance. He said to the others, "It's getting late. Let's go!"
Everyone nodded. Shuangshuang stood up from the rock, jumped off the rock, and followed Cheng Xia and the others into the car.
Several people fought and collected light cores along the way, and finally arrived at the destination on the morning of the third day.
Several nearby shelters are less than a hundred miles apart, and further ahead is the jurisdiction of the ninth refuge area.
Cheng Xia and his companions found a shelter and stayed there temporarily.
The shelter is not big, and it is full of people sleeping on the ground. Some of the better places have some things spread out on the ground. The few tents scattered in the shelter are eye-catching.
Cheng Xia and his friends and the shelter manager rented two tents, one for Shuangshuang and one for the other men.
The two tents are adjacent to each other, so if anything happens, we can respond immediately.
After everything was arranged, Yan Shu stayed behind to guard the tent, while the others followed Cheng Xia around the shelter.
The people in the shelter looked at Cheng Xia and the other new faces and felt uneasy.
"Who are they? Why do they come to our shelter when they are dressed so well?" An old man with white hair asked a young man beside him.
"Grandpa Li, this is a big shot from the Tenth Refuge Area who is here to help us. Don't worry! Everything will be fine." The young man comforted the old man beside him.
.......
"This shelter is adjacent to the ninth shelter. I wonder if the people sent from the ninth shelter are in the shelter over there. Do you want to go and say hello?" Yuchuan turned to Cheng Xia and asked.
After hearing this, Yun Yang put his arm on Yu Chuan's shoulder and replied dissatisfiedly: "Why should we go to see them? The people in the Ninth Vault are the most annoying."
Cheng Xia continued walking without hesitation, scanning the faces of the people around him one by one, and said with a slight smile: "Let's take care of our own business first. We can talk about it after this matter is resolved."
Yan Shu nodded: "That's right, let's investigate the matter first.
........
The shelter was not big, and the group toured the entire place in less than an hour.
"There's nothing special about this. Could it be done by someone else?" Yuchuan asked.
"That one might have been done by the shelter in the ninth refuge area, right?" Yun Yang nudged Yuchuan with his hand.
Cheng Xia looked around and said, "Don't guess anymore, let's search the shelter first to see if we can find anything."
Cheng Xia and his companions split into two teams and investigated the shelter separately, and did not return to their residence until dark.
"I ran around all day today and asked some people in the shelter, but no one found anything different." Yuchuan sat in the tent somewhat discouraged.
"We didn't find anything suspicious either." Yun Yang looked at Cheng Xia.
Shuangshuang looked at the two of them and asked, "Do those people who disappeared have any common characteristics?"
The two shook their heads: "No, there are men, women, young and old."
For a moment, no one had any ideas. Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Xia asked everyone to rest first and go around the shelter the next day.
On the second day, after breakfast, except for Yan Shu who stayed in the tent, the others followed Cheng Xia to take a look around the shelter.
As soon as we walked out of the shelter, Shuangshuang pointed to a patch of green in the distance and asked, "What are those things?"
"I discovered it when I first came here. Usually there are rocks and dust outside. It's rare to see something growing around like this." Yuchuan said, looking into the distance.
Cheng Xia took a look and said: "It's poisonous grass"
Shuangshuang: “???”
Yuchuan: "??"
Yun Yang walked up to the two and explained, "I asked the people in the shelter yesterday, and I heard that most people in the shelter feed on this grass."
Shuangshuang looked carefully and actually saw a faint human figure moving among the tall poisonous green grass.
"Is this grass edible? How come I've never heard of it?" Shuangshuang was a little confused. Logically, edible food should be well known to everyone.
Cheng Xia looked at Shuang Shuang's eagerness to try and quickly stopped her: "It's poisonous."
"What? They eat poisonous things? Then they--" Shuangshuang looked incredulous.
Cheng Xia touched Shuangshuang's head and sighed, "Without food, we can only eat these to fill our stomachs. This plant isn't very toxic. Eating a little occasionally won't be fatal, as long as it's not too much. It will only hurt for half a day."
Everyone was speechless as they looked at the figure in the distance.
Suddenly, Shuangshuang was attracted by a scene in the distance and hurried over.
Cheng Xia and others followed.
"What are you doing?" Shuangshuang yelled at the group of people.
Cheng Xia and his companions followed and saw a group of people punching and kicking a man on the ground. When they saw Shuangshuang and her group, they were scared and scattered.
Shuangshuang and the others saw the man on the ground holding his head, his body covered with bruises, which seemed to be caused by years of beatings.
Yun Yang stepped forward, his tone slowing down. "Who are you? Where do you live?"
The man lowered his arms, opened his eyes, and looked at the group of people who suddenly appeared in front of him. His lips moved for a long time before he said, "I'm from the shelter next door. My name is Ah Sha."
Shuangshuang stared at the other person for a long time before saying, "But you don't look stupid, do you? Why do you have such a name?"
The man lowered his head: "I used to be stupid."
Seeing this, Shuangshuang didn't ask any more questions.
"Why did they hit you?" Yun Yang pointed at the people who were running away.
The man had tears in his eyes. He wiped them with his hands before saying, "People in the shelter were bullied elsewhere, and they would beat me up when they were unhappy because I was a fool. But I'm not a fool anymore, and they still beat me." As he spoke, the man was about to cry again.
"Okay, let's go take a look somewhere else." Cheng Xia said to Shuangshuang and the others.
Only then did everyone remember the important matter. Shuangshuang took out a piece of white worm cake from her arms, which was actually from the mall space, and handed it to Asha.
Cheng Xia left these white worm cakes with her because he was worried about any accidents.
Cheng Xia had no objection to this. Just as they were about to leave and look elsewhere, Ah Sha carefully placed the cake in his arms, walked over to them and said, "Where are you going? I can take you there. I'm very familiar with the area around the shelter."
Cheng Xia looked at him coldly, until Ah Sha lowered his head, then he said, "Are there any strange places or people around here that you often go to?"
Ah Sha nodded and said, "There is a place where everyone often goes to look for food."
"Take us there." Cheng Xia replied to Asha.
"Uh! Okay, this way." Ah Sha led a few people and headed in one direction.
After walking for an hour, Ah Sha pointed ahead and turned to the others and said, "That's it."
"Is that - sewage?" Shuangshuang looked at Asha in confusion.
Ah Sha nodded and said, "Yes, the reason why the shelter was built nearby is because there are patches of poisonous grass and poisonous sewage here. Although they are all poisonous, they at least give the shelter some hope, so that they won't be left with nothing when they are short of water and food."
Cheng Xia led a few people over. The closer they got, the stronger the smell of corruption in the air became. They arrived at the ditch and were speechless for a moment.
After a while, Shuangshuang pointed at the debris in the ditch and said, "Brother Cheng Xia, are these the people who disappeared from the shelter?"
