Chapter 35 Agritainment

“This situation is not quite right! Yesterday, we couldn’t even see the shadow of a single zombie here, how come so many have suddenly popped up today?” Jiang Xianchuan frowned, muttering to himself with a face full of doubt.

He vigilantly observed the constantly emerging zombies around him while rapidly thinking about the reason in his mind. According to common sense, these zombies should be gathering towards the city center at this moment.

“It is indeed very strange, I don’t know what happened either. Why don’t we quickly change our route to avoid getting into greater danger?” Shi Yi, who was next to him, also felt very surprised, but she quickly calmed down and quickly took out the map to check it carefully.

After some research, she decisively made a decision: “We’ll go around through an Agritainment place on this side, maybe we can avoid these zombies and successfully leave this city.” After speaking, she pointed to the location of the Agritainment marked on the map.

“Okay, let’s do that!”

They carefully traversed the desolate streets, constantly vigilant about the surrounding movements. Those hideous-looking, slow-moving zombies occasionally emerged from dark corners, sending chills down their spines.

However, these three were agile and worked well together. Whenever a zombie approached, they could quickly react, either killing it with a sharp weapon in their hand, or cleverly avoiding the attack and continuing forward.

Along the way, they experienced countless thrilling encounters, but they all turned danger into safety with their tenacious will and excellent combat skills.

Finally, after a difficult journey, they arrived in front of the Agritainment. It was unusually quiet here, as if time had stopped.

There was no sign of life around, only the closed gate and high walls revealed a mysterious and oppressive aura. The entire Agritainment was shrouded in a deathly silence, which made people feel frightened.

“It looks like there is no one here.” Just as Jiang Xianchuan was about to leave, an old man with white hair poked his head out from the roof of the yard.

“Leave quickly if you don’t want to die!” the old man with a weathered face and sharp eyes roared fiercely, his hoarse and deep voice seemed to penetrate people’s souls, making people feel frightened.

However, Jiang Xianchuan, who was standing opposite him, didn’t take this threatening words seriously. He only saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous smile, as if he didn’t take the old man’s warning to heart at all.

In fact, Jiang Xianchuan had already planned it out in his mind, he didn’t intend to stay here for long.

“Dad! Xiao Yan, she probably can’t hold on anymore!” Just as Jiang Xianchuan was about to turn around and leave, a woman with a panicked expression hurried to the roof and shouted loudly at the old man with a weathered face.

Hearing these words, the muscles on the old man’s face trembled violently, and his originally calm expression was instantly occupied by worry. He widened his eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and after a moment of silence, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and looked at Jiang Xianchuan and others with a sincere and urgent gaze, his voice slightly hoarse, and said, “Do you have any medicine on you? We are willing to exchange anything with you!”

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan raised his eyebrows with interest, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked up and down at the anxious old man in front of him, and answered unhurriedly, “Well… it’s not like there is no room for negotiation at all. But, if you want to get the medicine, you have to agree to let us stay here for one night.” After saying that, he crossed his arms and waited leisurely for the other party’s response.

“Okay! I promise you!” the old man replied without hesitation, his voice loud and decisive. Before long, he heard a rush of footsteps coming downstairs. Accompanied by a soft “creak”, the door slowly opened, and the old man’s slightly weathered face appeared in front of everyone.

Jiang Xianchuan and others entered in single file, following the old man to a dim room. He only saw a woman lying on the bed with a pale face and a weak breath, as if she were a candle in the wind.

Jiang Xianchuan stepped forward quickly and came to the bedside. He stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the woman’s forehead, and a surge of scalding heat instantly transmitted to his fingertips. He frowned slightly and asked, “How long has she had a fever?”

Another woman standing next to him was already in tears, sobbing uncontrollably. She choked up and replied, “It’s been three days… For the past three days, she has had a high fever that hasn’t gone down, and we have tried everything without success.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan’s eyes became even more solemn. He quickly turned around and put his hand into the backpack he was carrying with him, groping around. After a while, he saw him take out a few boxes of antipyretics and antibiotics from the backpack as if by magic, skillfully handed them to the crying woman, and instructed, “Give her these medicines according to the instructions first, if she doesn’t get better tomorrow, come and find me again.”
