I am the Lord of the Gods in the foggy world

Chapter 213 232. The missing scavenger

Xu Zhi didn't pay much attention to "absenteeism" at first, which sounded like nothing to do with her. Until the next day when Qi Yanxin came home from work with a sad look on her face, and even for several days in a row, her expression became more and more serious. The more wrong it is, there is even a hint of panic.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhi asked her, holding up the water glass with his right hand.

Although he is an unlicensed black doctor, the medicine he prescribes is indeed effective. After taking the medicine for a few days, although she still cannot get out of bed and move around, at least her hand holding the towel and holding the water cup will no longer shake as if it will happen next second. Broken.

It is estimated that after another ten days and a half, it will be no longer a problem for her to get out of bed and move around.

However, the physical injuries are slowly recovering, but there is still no progress in the supernatural aspect. Whenever she tries to absorb the extraordinary elements floating in the air, the meridians in her body will emit pain as if being cut by a knife, sucking in a little extraordinary ability. She would also disappear in an instant, as if there was an invisible black hole in her body that was swallowing up all the extraordinary energy that entered her body.

There is currently no abnormality in the little alien seed. Xu Zhi wants to feed it some of her own blood to see if it will be useful, but after the experience in the clinic, she does not dare to cut a hole in her hand to feed blood at will. .

It's just that she doesn't know where her knife went. Qi Yanxin probably didn't pick it up. The knife has a special connection with her, so she should be able to tell if it's near her.

Did he live somewhere else?
Or was it picked up by other scavengers?

If the knife is there, her own [bloodthirsty] plus the ability attached to the knife will allow her to unleash an explosion even if she is weak.

Oh, provided she can get out of bed and move around, instead of being a wheelchair-bound God of War like now.

Qi Yanxin seemed a little uneasy, and it took him half a beat to realize that Xu Zhi was asking her: "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that many workers have suddenly been absent from work in the past few days, and everyone is a little worried."

Xu Zhi looked at her expression and thought to himself, I'm afraid she was more than just worried, maybe people in the factory were already panicking.

But suddenly a bunch of people were absent from work, and it sounded like something was wrong.

"Did the factory say anything?" Xu Zhi rarely gossiped.

Qi Yan shook his head heartily: "Many people want to join the factory. If they miss work, they can just make up for it. The factory doesn't care about this."

It really is.
It's no wonder that Qi Yanxin had a sad look on his face. One after another, the surrounding workers suddenly "absent from work" and then heard nothing from them again. Everyone would have to worry, right?
"You should not go out at night these days." Xu Zhi knew that Qi Yanxin would go out to "scavenge" with his pocket whenever he had free time in the evenings. However, it seems to be a troubled time recently, so he should prioritize his own safety over money.

"But if you don't go out, the factory salary alone is too little."

The salary that was enough to support her on weekdays was not enough to treat Xu Zhi, or even a drop in the bucket.

"What should I do if something happens to you outside?" Xu Zhi said expressionlessly, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She really didn't expect that she would say such words one day.

In fact, now, if something really happened to Qi Yan's heart, Xu Zhi can go to the underground clinic to discuss with Dr. Zhuang so that he can continue to treat him. The worst he can do is to let him do some experiments on himself. In short, it is no longer the case a few days ago. Without Qi Yanxin's help, he would most likely die.

However, thinking that the woman in front of him still saved his life, and that her efforts these days were not fake, Xu Zhi finally did not stand idly by, but spoke up to remind the other party.

Moreover, there are too many unstable factors at Dr. Zhuang's side, but Qi Yan's heart is still there, and at least he has a relatively stable place to live.

"I know." The woman compromised unexpectedly. “But the money”

"I'll think of a solution when I get better." Xu Zhi interrupted her.

There's no other meaning, it's just that she doesn't intend to continue to be an ordinary person's soft rice. The other person saved her, so it's natural for her to repay him after she recovers, right?

"What can you, a child, do?" Qi Yan smiled and shook her head. Although Xu Zhi's words sounded like a blank promise, she felt that Xu Zhi's words meant that she was treated as a family member. Compared with Her previous seemingly easy-going but indifferent attitude, at least today, she felt that the distance between herself and the girl had become closer.

In the next few days, Qi Yanxin no longer went out at night, and tried to walk with neighbors on the way to work during the day. But even if Xu Zhi went out every day, he could see it from Ye Ran's words and Qi Yanxin's expression every day. Come on, the situation outside may not be very good.

A tense atmosphere condenses in the slums. When walking on the street and looking at each other, all the scavengers are thinking about is: Will he be the next person to disappear?

Yes, it was no longer just "absenteeism", more scavengers began to disappear suddenly one after another, as if they disappeared overnight, and even the bodies could not be found.

There are no TV programs here. The usual entertainment activities for scavengers and workers are pubs, gambling, boxing, video games, or other industries. There is at most a radio, but most of the time it plays factory advertisements and which factory is operating. recruitment.

It’s just that the radio factory has been recruiting more and more recently, and it seems that there are suddenly many more positions.

But anyone with a little knowledge knows that it's not that there are more positions, but that the people who were originally on the job are "missing".

A week passed quickly, and it was the day for Xu Zhi's reexamination.

Qi Yanxin specifically asked for leave today. Perfect attendance accounts for a large part of the salary in a black factory, and there are no holidays. Once you take leave, you will lose your perfect attendance. Qi Yanxin doesn't care about the issue of perfect attendance now.

When she brought Xu Zhi to the clinic, there was another customer inside.

He seemed to be an old acquaintance with Dr. Zhuang. The two were talking about something when they saw Qi Yanxin pushing Xu Zhi in. The guest glanced at it, then turned back to Dr. Zhuang and continued to say: "It's not peaceful recently, you are like this Small clinics should also pay attention."

Dr. Zhuang shrugged indifferently: "What about the missing workers? I don't run around, I just stay in my clinic every day, what can you do to me?"

"No."

The guest shook his head: "It's a bigger unrest. As you know, I have some ideas. I heard that troops will come to the plain area recently. They seem to be searching for something. Moreover, I heard that this is an order from the top."

"Ouch!" Dr. Zhuang shouted in disbelief: "Instructions from above?"

"How many years have it been since the higher-ups gave us an order? What are you searching for?"

Xu Zhi's head in the peaked cap was lowered, and his expression showed just the right amount of curiosity.

The guest shook his head again: "I don't know, but it must be a big deal."
