Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Human Red Mushroom

She had used too much force just now, yanking the doorknob right off.

Inside, it was dimly lit, yet the scene gave her a fright.

In the room, single beds were densely arranged, and in such a small space, there were at least ten.

On each bed lay a person, trapped and connected to various tubes.

Jhiang Yuan let out a cry, more out of horror than anything else.

The people inside did not react at all.

If it wasn’t for those tubes, she would have thought she had encountered corpses.

Curiosity led her to step forward, gingerly, as if afraid of disturbing something.

"Sister, Sister Zuo—"

The person closest to the edge was Sister Zuo, who had been previously beaten and was now barely clinging to life.

Upon hearing the call, she faintly opened her eyes, only to glance and then close them again.

What situation was this, why did these people seem to have no energy at all?

Knowing the situation was bad, why wouldn’t everyone scream for help?

Moreover, her appearance didn’t stir any alarm...

Jhiang Yuan looked closely, Sister Zuo seemed unusual; her arms and legs were bare.

In such cold weather, goosebumps were all over her.

However, her veins were clearly visible, a purplish hue.

Next to her, there was a saline solution, continuously being injected.

Jhiang Yuan noticed something bulging under the blanket she was under.

As if possessed, she reached out and pulled it up.

The blanket, surprisingly, was wet, but not frozen cold, as the room was very warm.

But covered with a damp blanket, how could anyone bear it?

As she pulled away the blanket, she was shocked once again.

The bulge was actually a mushroom, red in color, just like the ones they had seen sprouting yesterday.

But, this one was growing out of Sister Zuo’s abdomen.

Frightened, she stepped back and bumped into an adjacent machine.

Suddenly, alarms blared everywhere.

This was bad; if discovered, she would be in trouble.

Hearing the noise, two guards immediately charged out.

Jhiang Yuan had no choice but to quickly hide in the confined space.

Now, she absolutely could not expose her identity, or else it would be over.

The two guards kicked the door open, and the doctor followed them in.

Seeing no one inside, Sister Zuo managed to free one leg from its restraints.

It was normal for her to have bumped into the nearby machine.

The three men cautiously scanned the entire room, then ducked to check under the beds as well.

Convinced no one was there, they finally desisted.

But there was always a feeling that something was not quite right.

"Just now, who left?"

"It was Jhiang Yuan, she left about two minutes ago."

"Go and check outside."

The doctor ordered expressionlessly, then the two guards immediately ran out.

This was bad, they knew her home address.

If they went there, her parents would be in danger.

Jhiang Yuan cursed herself for her carelessness, what was she to do now?

The doctor also went out, closing the door behind him, which no longer served any purpose.

He went back to find something to block the door with.

She quickly dressed in a hooded black mink fur coat and timed it just as he re-entered.

She then ran out, her attire now making it difficult to distinguish her gender; she had already thrown the white coat into the confined space.

It took a great effort to reach the door, fortunately, the main door was not closed.

The two men had rushed out so hastily, now she had no choice but to keep running back.

Even if exposed, it didn’t matter as long as she arrived on time.

But those two people were clearly faster than her, she could not see their figures anymore.

Jhiang Yuan was somewhat anxious, unsure of what to do, burning with impatience.

She didn’t notice, a large hand suddenly grabbed her.

"Let go..."

She quickly struggled to resist, and took the dagger from her sleeve.

Looking up, it was actually Song Yi.

She couldn’t hold back any longer, my god, she had finally seen a family member.

"Come here..."

Song Yi dragged her into a storefront nearby.

Inside was an empty room with a table and chairs, probably used by someone before.

Seeing no one else, Jhiang Yuan laid it all out.

"Song Yi, something’s happened."

She recounted the events succinctly.

Song Yi seemed thoughtful, also quite surprised by this human body mushroom cultivation.

"Don’t worry. We’ll just say it was too cold, and we hid here for a while."

"Yes!"

After agreeing on their story, they started walking back, also not daring to take it lightly.

The situation was urgent now. A second late increased the danger.

The wind made it difficult to walk, but with Song Yi leading her from the front, they could move a bit faster.

When the two reached the house, they had exhausted all their strength.

"Why are you here? Someone came looking for you and already went upstairs."

The guard at the door, seeing the two disheveled people, couldn’t help but remind them.

"What?"

Jhiang Yuan, without a moment to lose, quickly ran upstairs.

"Thanks, we’ll go up and take a look..."

Having said that, he quickly followed Jhiang Yuan.

"Stay calm, we can’t let them see."

"Yes!"

Actually, she couldn’t calm down at all inside.

Her parents and Xiao Nuan were at home. If something happened, she couldn’t live with herself.

At the door, she took a deep breath and knocked rapidly.

"Mom, open the door, I’m back, Mom～"

She prayed incessantly in her mind to open the door.

Just as she was about to use her key, the door opened from inside.

"Yuanyuan, you’re back, come in quick, Xiao Song is also back..."

"Yes, auntie, do you have any hot water? I need some..."

Song Yi had seen the army-green coat behind and deliberately said it.

"Huh, why are you all at my place?"

Jhiang Yuan widened her eyes, seeming quite curious.

"Just now the guard’s room told me, visitors came to our house, but you weren’t there to guard the doctor, how did you come up here..."

Her face was full of doubt, no one could find fault with it...

"The doctor said it was too dangerous for you to be alone, so we were sent to bring you back.

But we didn’t see you on the way. How come you just got back now?"

He stared intently at Jhiang Yuan, ready to strike with the weapon in his hand at the slightest oddity.

"You really brought an umbrella after it rained. She’s a girl; such strong winds could have blown her away.

Why didn’t you bring her sooner? If I hadn’t seen her while patrolling, she might have been hit by the nearby trash can, tsk..."

Song Yi purposely complained like this, making the two on the other side a bit hesitant.

"Where did you get the coat you’re wearing?"

"It’s mine, why else would I come with you.

Luckily, there was an office nearby where we could take shelter, or you’d be waiting to recover her body!"

Song Yi rolled his eyes, clearly looking down on them.

"Song Yi, don’t talk like that, they didn’t expect the wind to be so fierce, did they?"
