The poor old man was not short. He was carried by Zhao Lexi, and his legs were just dragging on the ground. Zhao Lexi ran so fast that the cloth shoes on his feet were worn away, a big hole was made in his socks, his heels were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he groaned in pain all the way.

After leaving the village, Zhao Lexi walked forward along the road pointed by Li Yuan, and soon sensed a supernatural fluctuation ahead.

Not a few, but one!

As they approached the poppy field, the old man's face gradually turned ugly: "Run slower, stop first, and listen to me..."

It's a pity that he shouted too late and Zhao Lexi ran too fast. When she heard his words clearly and slowed down, a sea of ​​fiery red flowers came into her eyes, followed by a strong fragrance of flowers. .

In July, the flowering period of poppies has passed, but these flowers are blooming so beautifully, which is abnormal.

Dozens of figures stood in the sea of ​​flowers. From a distance, they looked like working farmers. In fact, they had mutated into zombies, but for some unknown reason, they refused to leave the poppy fields.

Outside the poppy field, Shangguan Wei Zheng was sleeping soundly while wearing a simple gas mask. Li Hong stood by, also wearing a simple gas mask on his face.

When she saw Zhao Lexi, her expression changed drastically: "Lele, the fragrance of this flower is poisonous and cannot be inhaled!" While speaking, she threw a simple gas mask over to Zhao Lexi.

Zhao Lexi didn't think there was anything wrong with the scent of flowers, but she thought it was too fragrant and made her want to sneeze.

She put on her mask and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Wei?"

"He fell into a coma when he smelled the fragrance of flowers! We put on the masks in time and should not have been affected. At present, it seems that he just fell asleep. Whether there are other health problems will be known after we return to the base for inspection!"

"What about the rest?"

"When we arrived, we didn't find the regiment leader and the others, but there were signs of running up the mountain. The deputy regiment leader went to look for them."

Zhao Lexi looked at the old man in his hand. He was holding his breath at the moment, his face was red from holding it in, and he would soon be unable to hold on. Zhao Lexi asked Li Hong for another mask to put on him. He quickly took a deep breath, as if he was resurrected from the dead.

Seeing him recover, Zhao Lexi carried him to the poppy field: "Tell me, what other secrets does this place have? If you don't tell me, I will send you in to keep company with them! You should be familiar with them before! They will be very nice to meet you!"

The two of them were very close to the edge of the poppy field, only one meter away. The zombies in the field came over and stretched out their hands to catch them.

The old man's face turned pale: "I said it! I said it!"

"First correct the lies you told before!" Zhao Lexi reminded.

"Everything I said before is true"

Zhao Lexi took him a step forward. The zombie closest to the field extended its arms in surprise, and its long nails brushed against the tip of the old man's nose.

The old man screamed: "Go back! Go back! I said it, I said it all!"

Zhao Lexi didn't move at all. The old man no longer dared to hide anything and said quickly: "My home is here, the village chief is my brother, and Li Yuan is my nephew. I do work in the university. After I graduated and stayed in school, I have been purifying it for them, and I came back to live after retirement. The virus broke out, and my brother and the old smoker in the village mutated into zombies. In order to prevent them from dying, we lured the strangers who broke in here to feed the zombies."

"The poppies have mutated. Their floral fragrance can make people coma. After waking up, they can never leave here! It's like being addicted to drugs. I have to come and smell it every day. If I can't smell it for a day, I feel like I'm crazy. It's the same! But after smelling it, it will return to normal! Many people in the village didn't know it at first, and they only found out after they got addicted. But it's too late, and they can't leave here anymore! No one in the village who has never smelled the fragrance of flowers will come here. .”

Li Hong's face was filled with anger.

"Don't you study chemistry? Have you never thought about developing an antidote?"

"I, I don't dare to come over."

"There are evolved people in your village. Will they become addicted if they smell it?"

"Li Yuan? He comes here sometimes. I don't know if he is addicted. Or if he just comes to see his father."

Zhao Lexi remembered that evolved humans can ignore the addictive side effects of morphine and pethidine, and can also ignore the aroma of the mutated poppy to a certain extent, so she is not too worried about her brothers. She is just a little worried about ordinary Shangguan Wei. With no more questions to ask, Zhao Lexi pulled off the mask on the old man's face: "Now you can concentrate on developing the antidote."

The old man held his breath, opened his big frightened eyes, made a pitiful expression, and looked at Zhao Lexi, hoping that she would find her conscience and take the mask back to him. He had gray hair, his old face was full of helplessness, and he looked extremely pitiful. Unfortunately, the girl was unmoved and just looked at him quietly.

After all, the old man couldn't hold on anymore, took a deep breath, and passed out.

Zhao Lexi threw him at Li Hong's feet and easily connected his arm. He would have to rely on him to research the antidote in the future. His arms could not be used, but his legs might not be usable.

"Sister Hong, you look at him, I'll go find my brother. If any villagers come looking for you, don't ask anything, just kill him, don't put yourself in danger!"

"Okay!" Li Hong felt a little distressed. In this damn apocalypse, just one month had made a little girl become so cruel.

But what she didn't know was that in her previous life, Zhao Lexi had experienced life and death with her brothers, and this was already the case. She single-handedly killed hundreds of members of the Xiangyu mercenary group, including many masters on the capital base's combat power list! Are there no innocent people here?

there must be!

However, she didn't hesitate at all when she dropped the knife, because she would be the one who died slower!

Different stances are the distance between life and death, and have nothing to do with good or evil.

Zhao Lexi looked at the sea of ​​gorgeous flowers. If they were not needed to develop the antidote, she would have pulled them out one by one right now!

After sensing the power fluctuation, Zhao Lexi ran up the mountain.

After only running a hundred meters, she saw the second brother carrying the third brother on his back, holding Liu Yang in one hand and Xingfu in the other, stumbling down the mountain.

She hurriedly ran over, put Liu Yang and Xingfu on her shoulders, and followed Zhao Shiduan: "Second brother, what happened to them?"

"When I found them, Brother Liu and Xingfu were already unconscious. The third child was still awake. They couldn't hold on when they saw me. There were a lot of dead evolved beasts around them. It's a pity that I couldn't drag them away. I can eat for a while when I get back. I don’t know exactly what happened. I’ll ask after they wake up.”

The two walked back to the poppy field. Zhao Lexi mentioned the old man, and Li Hong carried Shangguan Wei on his back. Everyone stayed away from the poppy field and found a small open space halfway up the mountain. Li Hong took out the business car, and everyone got in and put down the seats. , let the unconscious person lie on it and wait for them to wake up.
