Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

After the black threads on the two zombies disappeared, a very unpleasant smell began to emanate from the zombies, similar to the rotting smell of a person or animal that has been dead for ten days or half a month. In fact, this pungent and unpleasant smell is very similar to the stench of a dead mouse in the house.

"Oh my god, why does it stink so much?" The security guard next to Qiangzi stepped back, pinching his nose with his hands and looking like he could hardly breathe.

Maybe it was because he made too much noise, but his back hit the door panel behind him. There was a loud bang from inside, which scared the man so much that he jumped away.

"Have all the people staying in the hotel been quarantined?" Gu Tongwan looked at Qiangzi, who was still relatively calm.

"Basically." Qiangzi replied with a frown.

As a result, the other man who was frightened earlier immediately denied it: "No, not everyone. It seems that only those who drank the water were isolated. The others were fine, so they were released and are not having any attacks now."

Qiangzi was stunned, then a little surprised, and his eyes immediately fell on the man.

The man probably thought his voice was a little loud, so he lowered his voice a little and whispered, "Do you remember the first complaint we received from a guest who bit someone? It was already midnight at that time, and in the half hour before he didn't bite anyone, several other people got bitten, but those people weren't bitten. But I remember they seemed to drink more free tea provided by our hotel at that time."

"What kind of tea?" Gu Tongwan asked with a frown.

Qiangzi seemed to have thought of something, and looked at his companions: "Are you talking about the osmanthus tea given to every guest to celebrate the hotel's third anniversary?"

"Yes, it's osmanthus tea. It's said that it was specially shipped from the neighboring province. It's quite fragrant. I took some home to drink before. I'm sure it's not the osmanthus's problem, but the water for boiling the tea, I heard from Dahe's Xiaoye that it was pumped from an abandoned well in the back mountain of the base by the head chef, Master Yue. Master Yue also said that the water in the well is of good quality and cleaner than the tap water at home. It doesn't have any impurities. I drank the freshly brewed tea. When I came to the kitchen, they asked me to drink it, but I had a big bowl of porridge that night, so I couldn't drink it. Xiao Huang and Sister Chen drank the most, and they said that the water tasted sweet."

"Abandoned ancient well? Do you still remember the exact location of this well?" Gu Tongwan's heart trembled, realizing that this might be the key to the zombie mutation.

But soon Gu Tongwan thought of another question, "Are you sure that this well was discovered by your chef by accident?"

"Of course he did. Do you suspect he poisoned the food on purpose? The chef is a very good person and has no grudges against the hotel. Most importantly, his daughter is also on the list of people to be quarantined. He would never harm his own daughter, would he?"

Qiangzi bit his cheek and suddenly said, "It may not be Master Yue's fault, but if someone deliberately led him there, it's hard to say."

"What do you mean?" The security guard who was traveling with him was a little confused by Qiangzi's words.

Qiangzi mentioned another thing. He said that he always saw Master Yue and a young man drinking tea in the lobby on the first floor. It was said that the man was a guest staying in the hotel and was a fellow villager of Master Yue. They both liked to taste tea, but Qiangzi didn't like that man very much because even in winter, the man wrapped himself tightly from head to toe. You know, when he stayed in the hotel, the extreme cold had passed and the temperature had been maintained between two or three degrees. The hotel had been turning on the heating, so it was not cold at all. However, this man not only wore a mask, but also armed himself with a scarf and a hat, and even wore leather gloves on his hands. It seems that this man is not afraid of the cold, but he is afraid of people seeing his skin.

Because he was worried that Master Yue had been cheated, he privately asked Master Yue about the man's situation. As a result, Master Yue told Qiangzi with sympathy that his fellow villager had a very serious skin disease. This disease was afraid of light and could not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise the whole body would itch. Going to the hospital was of no use. It was an allergic skin disease related to genetics.

Anyway, Qiangzi felt that the man was a little suspicious no matter how he looked at him, but Master Yue somehow trusted that man very much, and even went out with this man several times for a period of time.

"You mean, maybe this man deliberately told Master Yue about the abandoned well? But Master Yue, as far as I can remember, was not among the quarantined personnel."

"Could it be that some people already have antibodies, or is it just that Master Yue didn't drink the problematic water?" Gu Tongwan offered his opinion.

"Oh, yes, now that you mention it, I remember that Master Yue was very busy in the kitchen that day. It seemed that a tour group came from another province, so Master Yue was busy cooking all the time. Xiao'er was responsible for making the osmanthus tea!" The man slapped his thigh and exclaimed in surprise.

At this time, there was a continuous "bang bang" sound coming from behind the door, but strangely, there was no problem in the other isolated room.

"When you quarantine, do you isolate people according to the people who drank the tea?" Gu Tongwan looked at Qiangzi.

Qiangzi understood what she was going to ask, and just shook his head and said, "The quarantine was carried out according to the suggestion of the research institute. Because the situation was very tense at the time, everyone who was still in the hotel at the time had to be fully quarantined."

"If this is ruled out, it is indeed possible that people who drank the tea may have an attack, while those who did not drink it may not have an attack. However, this is just our current speculation, and the true situation still needs to be tested."

Qiangzi and his companions did not expect that the girl in front of them looked young, but she was thoughtful and could remain so calm in such an environment. Considering how she acted so swiftly and swiftly just now, she might be from some large guild or a professional mercenary.

For some reason, although the woman's identity was unknown, Qiangzi and his companions subconsciously felt that the woman should not be a threat to them, otherwise she could have just watched them being torn to death by zombies.

"If it's really a problem with the well water, then what should we do? Even if we interrogate them, not everyone may be willing to tell the truth, and only a small number of people have now become zombies." Qiangzi hesitated.

"How long did it take for the isolated people to start having attacks?" Gu Tongwan wiped the three-edged bayonet clean before putting it back into the scabbard. The man also discovered that there was a pocket pistol on the other side of her waist.

Qiangzi sighed in his heart again, it seems that a woman who can be fully equipped and have great skills in the apocalypse is indeed not simple.
