Half an hour later, Luo Yuan finally 'persuaded' Wang Shishi to leave.
Along the way, Wang Shishi hugged his arm tightly. Her soft body was pressed tightly against his. She had a sweet smile on her face. Her love for Luo Yuan was pure without any impurities. Her heart was completely attached to Luo Yuan. She could not wait to be apart from him every second of the day.
But as they got closer to the villa, she became nervous. She felt guilty and let go of his arm.
Luo Yuan was relieved. He had not figured out how to explain it to Huang Jiahui.
Although it wasn't love when they first got together, it was a release of lust and stress. But after spending so much time together, they had already developed feelings for each other. If possible, he didn't want to hurt her at all.
But this matter was too sudden, and he was completely unprepared. The infatuated love of the young girl, other than the taboo pleasure at the beginning, gave him a headache when he woke up.
"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. I'll hide it for now," Luo Yuan thought.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the direction of the villa, followed by a woman crying.
"What happened there? Could it be …"
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly told Wang Shishi, "There seems to be an accident at the villa. I'll go check it out. Be careful."
Wang Shishi heard it too. Although she did not want to leave, she said obediently, "Brother Luo, go quickly. Don't worry about me."
Luo Yuan nodded and told her to be careful. The giant lizard did not give any warning, so it should not be dangerous.
He didn't delay any longer. With a shake of his body, he quickly ran toward the villa.
The empty space in front of the villa was already filled with people. Zhao Gang was lying on the ground, rolling around and screaming miserably. Beside him, Jin Meili was crying loudly, her body tightly held by Huang Jiahui.
Luo Yuan ran in front of everyone and walked towards Zhao Gang. "What happened? I just left for a while and this happened?" he asked in a deep voice.
"We're not sure. We just finished our horse stance and sat at the door to rest. Zhao Gang suddenly shouted that his stomach hurt and fell to the ground, rolling violently," Huo Dong explained.
Zhao Gang's face was contorted and as pale as a sheet of paper. Bean-sized beads of sweat continuously rolled down his forehead. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain. Not long after, blood slowly flowed from his nostrils and mouth. It was obvious that he was on the verge of death. Everyone cried out in alarm and retreated.
"Let go of me, let go of me …" Jin Meili's face turned pale. She struggled intensely, trying to break free from Huang Jiahui, but her weak strength had no effect at all.
Jin Meili, who was already hysterical, suddenly exploded. She pointed at Luo Yuan and cried, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't asked my husband to force him to practice martial arts, he wouldn't have ended up like this … And all of you, you're all going to hell one day … "
Luo Yuan was expressionless. He did not want to argue with her. He knew that Jin Meili and Zhao Gang were very close, and this huge blow had caused her to have a mental breakdown.
Although Luo Yuan did not mind, it did not mean that others would not mind. Cao Ling suddenly ran over, raised her hand and slapped her hard, "Shut up!"
"You dare hit me?" Jin Meili was stunned for a moment and covered her face. Then, she came back to her senses and let out a howl. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws at Cao Lin, but Cao Lin avoided her.
"So what if I hit you? They were practicing martial arts too. Why are they all fine? This was an accident. Don't act like a mad dog and bite everyone you see. None of us owe you anything! "Cao Ling retorted.
"Shut up, all of you!" Luo Yuan's face darkened as he shouted in a low voice.
Cao Ling did not want to admit defeat, so she kept her mouth shut.
Jin Meili opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she swallowed her words. The slap had completely woken her up. When she thought of Luo Yuan's power, she felt that she had lost her mind. She did not dare to say anything else.
Luo Yuan walked up to Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang's struggle was getting weaker and weaker. His breathing was rapid like a bellows, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something. There was a strange "Ka Ka" sound. Blood was dripping from his mouth and nose, and the ground was stained red. He was obviously dying.
Jin Meili began to cry again as she looked at Zhao Gang's terrible condition.
Luo Yuan was careful not to touch his body. He flipped him over with his scabbard and removed his shoes. He noticed that there were no wounds on Zhao Gang's body. It did not look like he had been bitten by a mutated creature, and his blood was bright red, so he was not poisoned.
With a puzzled expression, he turned to the crowd and asked, "Did he eat anything just now?"
"No, he was with us the whole time. Other than lunch, he didn't eat anything. Oh, and he drank some water after standing in the horse stance?" Huo Dong said.
"Water? What kind of water?" Luo Yuan asked.
"Mineral water, of course!" Huo Dong said.
Everyone ate the same food, and the mineral water was completely sealed. Luo Yuan gave up on the clue that it was not a problem with the food.
Luo Yuan stood up and carefully checked the ground again. He did not find any obvious mutated creatures. Luo Yuan paid special attention to the open space in front of the villa. Every morning, he would use his aura to drive away all kinds of dangerous small creatures.
He glanced at the mineral water on the ground and found that one of the bottles had a different brand. He was confused.
Although this seemed very normal, the mineral water he collected could not be a single brand. Basically, he had all kinds of mineral water brands, and there were all kinds of mineral water. However, the other bottles of mineral water were exactly the same. Only this bottle was different, which was a little abnormal.
"Is this water for drinking?"
"It's Zhao Gang's," Sun Xiaowu said.
Everyone had a limited amount of water, so it was very clear which bottle belonged to whose.
In the past few days, Luo Yuan and his team had collected all the mineral water in the neighborhood. There were more than 50 boxes of mineral water in the neighborhood. It might seem like a lot, but they all needed water. The 50 boxes of mineral water would only last for less than two months. Huang Jiahui would distribute a bottle to each of them every morning.
"Jiahui, did you get the same water today?" Luo Yuan asked.
Huang Jiahui was confused. "I've been getting Farmer's mineral water these days. I don't know what's wrong with this bottle of water."
He suddenly thought of something and picked up the bottle of mineral water to take a closer look.
"I knew it!" He felt a chill in his heart.
There were countless transparent insects swimming in the mineral water, which made people's scalp tingle. These insects were very small and as transparent as water. If one didn't pay attention, he wouldn't be able to see them at all. He looked at the bottle cap. There was a tiny hole the size of a needle on the cap. It looked vaguely familiar.
Lin Xiaoji, who was next to him, noticed Luo Yuan's strange behavior. He took the mineral water from Luo Yuan's hand and looked at it carefully. He was shocked and dropped the bottle on the ground. He took a few steps back and said in horror, "Why are there insects in the mineral water?
A few brave people went closer to take a look and felt their hair stand on end.
Their reactions made Jin Meili feel as if she had been struck by lightning. Her eyes glazed over, and even her body trembled slightly.
Luo Yuan asked seriously, "Jin Meili, where did you get this?"
"I … I picked it up!"
"Where?" Luo Yuan asked.
"That … that night when I was sleepwalking, I picked it up on the road! Sob sob … "Jin Meili burst into tears and sobbed," I didn't know there were insects … I wouldn't have picked it up if I had known. I've been greedy and I didn't expect to hurt Zhao Gang … "
Luo Yuan sighed as he listened to Jin Meili blame herself. He had not expected Jin Meili to pick up a bottle of water that night. Fortunately, he did not drink it, or he would not be the only one dead.
Suddenly, Zhao Gang's body straightened and he let out a loud fart. His pants were wet and his body reeked of feces. He stared at the sky with his eyes wide open. His body twitched a few times and then he stopped breathing.
Wang Shishi had just returned and was still feeling uneasy. She covered her mouth in horror when she saw what had happened.
Luo Yuan was speechless. A person who had just been talking to him was gone in the blink of an eye. He was silent for a while and then said, "Sun Xiaowu, you guys go and prepare some wood. We need to cremate the body. We can't keep it for long."
The parasite would come out after the death of its host and look for a new target. It would be troublesome if they had to deal with it until then.
Jin Meili cried and tried to stop them, but no one cared. They dragged their tired legs and moved firewood from the empty space next to the villa.
To prevent mutated trees like the haunted locust tree from appearing again, Luo Yuan had chopped down all the trees in the neighborhood and chopped them into firewood. They were piled up like a mountain on the empty space.
"Let's take one last look," Luo Yuan said to Jin Meili.
Jin Meili looked at Zhao Gang's twisted face and cried until she was out of breath.
"Take it away," Luo Yuan said after waiting for a while and seeing that Jin Meili was still crying.
There were only four men there besides Luo Yuan. Lin Xiaoji did not move because of his pride as an evolved human.
Huo Dong looked at Sun Xiaowu and Chen Xianfeng helplessly. Chen Xianfeng had already picked up a rag and walked over to wrap the body's legs.
Huo Dong thought to himself that Chen Xianfeng was smart but dumb. Although he was dull, he was more open-minded than anyone else. No one would like an "employee" like him who did things without thinking. Where there were people, there would be competition. Huo Dong was no longer a boss, but an "employee". He understood and hurriedly ran into the villa to find a rag.
Sun Xiaowu wanted to go too, but he hesitated when he saw that two of them had already left. His fear of the parasite and the body got the upper hand, so he stood where he was.
Success was not a coincidence. The probability of a bankrupt tycoon becoming rich again was much higher than that of an ordinary person. Besides having connections, they were also better at observing and grasping opportunities.
The two of them carried the body and moved it to the firewood.
The fire rose and engulfed Zhao Gang's body, emitting thick black smoke. They stood far away in silence, leaving only Jin Meili's painful and regretful cries echoing around.
