Chapter 263: Developing an Antidote (Part )
The night passed peacefully. In the tower that was originally filled with a tense atmosphere, everyone was now exhausted after experiencing another shock from the incoming white fog. Their tense nerves finally relaxed and they fell into a deep sleep one by one.
In the early morning, the sunlight easily penetrates the fog that has not completely dissipated, casting a few faint rays of light.
Nanny Yang took a nap last night but didn't feel very sleepy. She found in the corridor that the yard was covered with a layer of brown film again because of the fog last night.
Nanny Yang frowned and returned to the house. Seeing Su Yue sitting and drinking porridge, she walked closer and asked, "Miss, the brown film has appeared in the yard again. It looks terrible. Should we continue to shovel it away?"
Su Yue listened, shook her head gently, and said with a bit of helplessness on her face: "Mammy, we spent a lot of effort to clean up the yard yesterday, but when the fog came, it became like this again.
Even if we shovel it now, if the fog comes back tomorrow, it will be a waste of time. Let's not waste our energy. It won't be too late to clean it up properly when the fog really disappears."
After hearing this, Nanny Yang felt that what Su Yue said made sense, so she didn't say anything more. She just looked at the brown film in the yard and sighed softly.
Su Yue was drinking porridge while feeling puzzled. Although there were cold winds howling in the mountains during this period, she could always hear the ghostly howlings of the mutated wild beasts from time to time.
But since the strange fog appeared, except for the cessation of the wind and snow, the surroundings were so quiet that it made people feel uneasy, and those mutated beasts seemed to have disappeared without a trace all of a sudden.
Su Yue wondered secretly, could it be that those wild beasts were poisoned by the fog?
In fact, Su Yue's guess was almost right. At the beginning, those mutated beasts relied on their thick skin and ferocious nature and did not take the fog seriously. They still wandered around the mountains.
But as the fog continued to invade, they gradually realized that something was wrong. Their bodies were covered with brown mucus, which slowly paralyzed their limbs and made their movements slow.
No matter how they struggled, it was of no avail and they could only watch their bodies become more and more out of control.
By the time the fog spread again the next night, they were completely unable to move. They could only be helplessly wrapped in the fog and lose their lives bit by bit.
It can be said that 80% of the mutated animals in the nearby mountains died in this strange fog. It is precisely because of this that the mountains have become so quiet.
Su Yue and everyone else in the tower were grateful many times that they had built the tower and the wall high enough.
Because in the following month, the fog became thicker day by day, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world, but fortunately, the height of the tower effectively blocked the spread of the fog, allowing everyone to hide inside temporarily and avoid direct harm from the fog.
So during this long and somewhat idle month, Song Mingtao thought that everyone was busy dealing with various dangers and had little opportunity to learn cultural knowledge, so he took the initiative to offer to teach everyone to read.
Every day he would find a wooden board and hang a simple literacy board written with charcoal on the wall, starting with the simplest words.
The women, men and children sat together, their eyes shining, and followed Song Mingtao carefully, learning every stroke. They were so focused that they seemed to have forgotten the terrible fog outside and the difficult situation they were in.
In the first few days, everyone studied very seriously, as Song Mingtao asked everyone to write from memory and recognize words by name and hand in their homework.
Everyone's self-control is not enough, because when their writing looks like dog crawling and is unrecognizable, Song Mingtao will glare at them.
"Liu Ye, the words you wrote, do they have any hatred between them? There is a big river between them."
"What are you laughing at, Danan? You need to learn from your brother Dadong. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are drawing an earthworm."
"Liu Qiang's son, my wife has taught you these words many times individually, how come you still forget them?"
What makes Song Mingtao feel gratified is the sons of Liu Dadong and Zhong Tie. They learn very quickly and remember things well. No wonder they say that studying should start from childhood.
Su Yue, on her part, was thinking that everyone needed to make their bodies stronger so that they could better deal with various dangers that might arise in the future.
So, every day she would organize everyone to do some simple physical training in the open space on the fourth floor, such as horse stance, push-ups, and climbing stairs back and forth.
The men were better off. At the beginning, the women were so tired that they kept complaining, but Su Yue kept encouraging them and even demonstrated the movements herself. Gradually, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, and their physical fitness did improve.
The Zhong Tie family has been worried during this period. They are concerned about the iron blocks stored in the blacksmith room and warehouse.
You know, in this environment where supplies are scarce and dangers are rife, those iron blocks are extremely precious things. If they are gone, it will be difficult to make tools or repair objects in the future.
Zhong Tie often sighed and thought about finding an opportunity to check out the situation.
Little did people know that Su Yue had sensed that the situation was not good on the first day the fog appeared, and hurried to the warehouse to put all the iron blocks into the space for safekeeping.
As for the ironworks, Su Yue thought, if it was really contaminated by the fog and could not be used, the worst that could happen was to rebuild a new one after everything was settled. The most important thing right now was to save everyone's lives and supplies.
Doctor Wu and Wu Yong were in a room on the fourth floor researching the antidote for the brown mucus. Su Yue had given Doctor Wu an ordinary rabbit, a bamboo tube of water and a detoxification pill more than half a month ago.
They said that they asked Doctor Wu to research an antidote to the brown mucus. Although the fog has disappeared, we still need to develop something to prevent it.
Doctor Wu didn't know where Su Yue found the rabbit. The rabbit looked very docile and didn't look like a mutated rabbit at all.
Doctor Wu and Wu Yong were in the room, brows furrowed, studying the docile rabbit in the iron cage and the detoxification pills and bamboo tube water placed beside them.
Doctor Wu first carefully picked up a clean knife and gently cut a shallow wound on the rabbit's front leg.
The rabbit struggled in pain, and Wu Yong quickly reached out to control it, while also using one hand to gently comfort it.
"Dad, be careful. The girl must have found this rabbit with great difficulty. Don't kill it all at once."
Doctor Wu glanced at his son and said, "Do you really need to explain this to me? But I'm still very confused. I didn't see the girl go out. Where did this rabbit come from?"
