Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Did Not Return

The two guards exchanged glances, then looked toward Jhiang Yuan.

"Since there’s nothing wrong, we’ll head back now."

"Yes, that’s fine, there are still quite a few others, thank you for your hard work."

Jhiang Yuan deliberately said this to make them feel that she was not special.

The two men left, and Qin Yue also brought over some hot water.

She and Song Yi each had a cup, drank it, and warmed their stomachs.

"My girl..."

Catching her gaze, Qin Yue quickly changed her words.

"The people on your side are quite good, next time you can wait to come back together, and we really need to thank Xiao Song, if not for him, you couldn’t have returned today."

"Exactly, the wind is too strong."

After speaking, Jhiang Xingzhi moved a chair out from the bedroom and then asked him to sit down.

Song Yi quickly ran to the window and watched the situation below intently.

About ten minutes later, he lowered his voice and asked the question that was on his mind.

"My girl, what’s going on?"

The wind outside was too loud, they couldn’t hear the sound of the door closing downstairs, they could only look if the two figures were still there.

"Let’s talk inside the room..."

She felt that the living room by the door had worse soundproofing than the inside rooms.

Along with Song Yi, there were now five of them here.

"The experimental field was blown away by the wind, and seeing the wind was too strong, I decided to come back.

By accident, I discovered their use of human bodies to grow mushrooms."

"What, what does that mean?"

Qin Yue couldn’t comprehend and was unclear about what she meant by "growing mushrooms on human bodies."

Jhiang Yuan didn’t keep it from them and shared everything about Sister Zuo’s situation and what they had been planting these past few days.

"Oh my goodness, how could that be?"

Clearly, this news exceeded Qin Yue’s understanding completely.

"How exactly they do it, I’m not sure, but I can confirm."

It was both the temperature and damp blankets, wasn’t that mushroom cultivation!

However, she didn’t mention going into the space, only that she had hidden away.

It’s better to keep it ambiguous.

"Song Yi, what do you think?"

"Just pretend we don’t know anything, later I’ll try to find out more..."

He didn’t say much more, but Jhiang Xingzhi was very scared.

This place wasn’t some idyllic paradise, it was a place of cannibalism.

This afternoon turned out to be unproductive, as everything had been blown away.

Song Yi still had to go out, so he went back.

"My girl, otherwise, let’s figure out a way to leave this place.

I always feel, it’s not quite right."

"Dad, these next few days, let’s just stay inside at home."

Qin Yue was also somewhat frightened, staring at Jhiang Yuan, somewhat at a loss.

"My girl, if it doesn’t work out, let’s listen to your dad, this is too dangerous, we need to find a new place to go."

Both elders were visibly tense.

She reassured them repeatedly, "Dad, Mom, I understand what you mean.

The wind is too strong now, we can’t even leave!

We’ll make plans when the wind dies down, but during this time, we must be extremely cautious.

They are already suspicious, we must not give ourselves away."

"Hmm, don’t worry, your mom and I definitely won’t hold you back."

The three of them talked for a while, all feeling a lingering fear.

Today, they didn’t go to the dining hall and had to eat at home.

After entering the space, they didn’t make anything too complicated.

Qin Yue cooked dumplings, and after everyone finished eating, they stayed in their rooms.

Jhiang Yuan took out a few books; electronic devices were not advisable, but these were still a good way to pass the time.

She herself sat by the window, and by the time dinner was done, the scene below had completely changed.

Just as Song Yi had said, the stuff downstairs started rolling around in a mess.

She saw a trash can, a large, green one.

It must have been left by the municipal services before, but later, as everyone had fewer supplies, there were fewer people throwing trash away.

But the constant rattling, it just couldn’t withstand it!

"Thump, thump, thump..."

The urgent knocking sound startled her.

She hurried to the door to check, there was a simple peephole there, but it was covered with frost and she couldn’t see clearly.

"Sister Yuan, are you home? Quickly open the door."

It was Zhang Kaiyang, his voice intermittent, but she still recognized it.

"Kaiyang, come in quickly..."

The wind outside was too strong, enough to kill a person.

The door couldn’t even be pushed closed; it took two people to finally get it shut.

"Sister Yuan, where is Qingqing? Why hasn’t she come back yet?"

Ah, Fan Qing hadn’t returned yet.

"Don’t worry, the wind was so strong, I was worried about the elderly and children at home, so I ran back early.

She must have been helping tally things up and hasn’t returned. By now, with the wind even stronger, I guess she’s trapped there."

How could he not worry? Zhang Kaiyang was extremely anxious.

Fan Qing was alone, how could she cope?

"I’ll go find her!"

Upon hearing this, Jhiang Yuan quickly grabbed him, "Don’t add to the chaos, there are houses over there, she’s not in any danger.

You’re not in a good condition right now; if something happens, everyone will worry about you."

Zhang Kaiyang sighed, somewhat cursing his own arm.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

The door was knocked on again, this time it was Song Yi.

"You still want to go out?"

"Mm, is Kaiyang here?"

"She’s worried about Fan Qing, so she came to ask."

"No problem, we probably won’t be able to send a lot of people back this afternoon, but if possible, I’ll go to the greenhouse area. Just wait patiently at home."

"Okay, Brother Song, then you must be extra careful,"

Song Yi nodded, put on his hat, and ran out directly.

The situation now was particularly bad, each second added to the danger.

Zhang Kaiyang also went back, and Jhiang Yuan started worrying about Ye Mianmian.

At the greenhouse area, there were no houses, if the wind blew anything away, their situation would be even worse.

Now, all she could do was pray.

The feeling of being powerless was really awful.

The sound of the wind outside was roaring, and Jhiang Xingzhi was also a bit scared.

Jhiang Yuan had given him a martial arts novel, but he simply couldn’t focus on it.

"Daughter, why do I feel so anxious?"

"Dad, don’t be like this, our whole family is relying on you.

You are our pillar, you must not think too much!"

Jhiang Xingzhi sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"I’m old, old... not as strong as my daughter, really..."

Jhiang Yuan didn’t mind his self-mockery, saying she wasn’t scared would be a lie.

"How about this, Dad, you, and Mom, take Xiao Nuan and go first."

Xiao Nuan was asleep and needed to be carried.

They moved on, the environment inside was better, and it might momentarily alleviate this mood.

"What about you, let’s go together!"

Both spoke very implicitly, making it hard to understand the reason.

"I’m fine, I can go over anytime, have you forgotten?"

Indeed, it was more convenient for Jhiang Yuan; the other three were different.

They still needed to come together, allowing Jhiang Yuan to bring them in.

"Okay, I’ll go get the child."
