Chapter 121
Not long after Lin Chen and Xia Nuan returned to their rooms, the villa's doorbell suddenly rang.
Lin Chen frowned and asked the system: "System, detect who is outside the door? Are there any weapons or dangerous items?" 【Detected a middle-aged male outside the door, no weapons, carrying a black backpack, inside the backpack are ingredients, no dangerous items, identity unknown.】 The system replied.
"I'll go and see." Lin Chen picked up the Purple Lightning Purification Gun, walked to the door, and through the peephole saw a man wearing a gray jacket standing outside the door, with a smile on his face,
indeed holding a backpack in his hand. "Who are you? What's the matter?" Lin Chen asked through the door. The man hurriedly said: "My name is Li Mo, I am a survivor nearby, heard that you are very safe here, want to live with you, I can cook, and can help you manage the villa, won't add trouble to you."
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and asked the system: "System, detect if he is lying?
Is there any malice?" 【No lying signal detected, temporarily no malice found, can cautiously let him in.】 The system replied. Lin Chen opened the door and let Li Mo in: "You can come in, but don't wander around, don't get close to important areas in the villa." Li Mo nodded repeatedly: "Rest assured, I know the rules very well, I'll go to the kitchen to cook dinner for you now, thank you for taking me in."
Li Mo walked into the kitchen with his backpack, Xia Nuan heard the movement and also walked out,
Lin Chen briefly told her the situation. The two sat in the living room, Li Mo was busy in the kitchen, occasionally poking his head out to chat with them, saying he used to be a chef in a restaurant, hid alone for a long time after the apocalypse,
until recently dared to come out to find a safe zone, and also said "following you will definitely survive, you have weapons and abilities, much stronger than me alone", repeating similar words, trying to get closer.
Xia Nuan whispered to Lin Chen: "What he said seems a bit deliberate, should we keep an eye on it?
" Lin Chen nodded and asked the system: "System, continuously monitor Li Mo's words and deeds and emotions, remind me immediately if there is any abnormality." 【Real-time monitoring already enabled, Li Mo's current emotions are stable, no abnormal behavior.】 The system replied.
Half an hour later, Li Mo brought out three bowls of black things,
placed them on the table: "This is my special 'nutritional soup', made with ingredients found in the apocalypse, drinking it can replenish strength, and can also enhance resistance.
" Lin Chen looked at the soup in the bowl, the color was strange, and it also emitted a strange smell,
couldn't help but ask: "What ingredients did you put in here? Why does it smell wrong?" Li Mo smiled and said: "All are common wild vegetables and powder ground from compressed biscuits, and a little mutant beast meat, maybe the taste is a bit special, but the nutrition is very rich, you guys hurry and taste it."
Li Mo took the lead in picking up the bowl and taking a sip, and also gave them a thumbs up.
Lin Chen and Xia Nuan looked at each other, although a bit suspicious, they still picked up the bowls and drank. After drinking a few sips, both felt a cramp in their stomachs,
followed by dizziness, weakness all over, and the bowls in their hands fell to the ground and shattered.
The smile on Li Mo's face disappeared, revealing a vicious expression: "Didn't expect it, right? I added poisonous grass I found to this soup, after drinking it you will slowly lose strength, and finally suffocate to death, your weapons and villa are mine!"
Lin Chen and Xia Nuan fell to the ground, wanted to struggle but couldn't move, could only watch Li Mo walk toward the console, seemingly wanting to destroy the defense system.
Just then, the blackening gene in Lin Chen's body suddenly woke up,
said coldly: "Dare to poison us, looking for death!" Lin Chen's consciousness was suppressed, his body was instantly controlled by the blackening gene, he jumped up from the ground, his eyes turned dark red, and rushed toward Li Mo.
Li Mo was startled, hurriedly picked up the kitchen knife beside him and waved: "Don't come over! If you come over again I'll chop you!" Blackened Lin Chen didn't dodge at all, grabbed his wrist, twisted it hard, with a "click", Li Mo's wrist was twisted, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground. Li Mo screamed, wanted to run away, Blackened Lin Chen grabbed his back collar, threw him to the ground, and kicked his chest hard a few times.
"Don't you want to grab things?
Why aren't you arrogant now?
" Blackened Lin Chen squatted down,
pinched Li Mo's neck, his eyes full of killing intent. Li Mo's face turned purple, unable to speak,
could only struggle desperately. Blackened Lin Chen didn't show mercy, pinched hard, Li Mo's neck was pinched, his head tilted to one side, and there was no movement anymore.
After solving Li Mo, Blackened Lin Chen turned to look at Xia Nuan who fell to the ground, the killing intent in his eyes gradually faded,
and the body control returned to Lin Chen. Lin Chen endured the abdominal pain, crawled to Xia Nuan's side,
asked anxiously: "Xia Nuan, how are you? Hold on!" He immediately asked the system: "System, is there any antidote? Or a way to detoxify? We drank poisonous soup, we're dying!" 【Detected the toxin is a neurotoxin, can call up antidote from the infinite space, already prepared for the host and Xia Nuan, injecting immediately can alleviate symptoms.】 The system replied.
Lin Chen took out two antidotes from the storage compartment, first injected Xia Nuan, then injected himself.
A few minutes later, the symptoms of abdominal pain and dizziness gradually alleviated,
and the two finally could slowly crawl up. Xia Nuan leaned in Lin Chen's arms, her voice weak: "Scared me to death just now, fortunately you woke up in time, otherwise we would be finished." Lin Chen held her hand tightly, looked at Li Mo's corpse on the ground, his eyes cold: "Won't trust strangers easily again, this time is a lesson."
Lin Chen helped Xia Nuan sit on the sofa and asked the system: "System, dispose of Li Mo's corpse, and also clean up the things in the kitchen, don't leave any poisonous residues." 【Cleaning program already enabled, the corpse will be transported to 5 kilometers outside the villa, kitchen residues will be thoroughly disinfected, expected to be completed in 10 minutes.】 The system replied. The two sat on the sofa, leaning against each other to rest, the experience just now made them have lingering fears, and also made them more aware of the sinister nature of human hearts in the apocalypse.
