At last!
When people inside the base are thirsty, they can simply open the tap and drink freely, or they can fill a container, boil the water, and then the water enters their bodies.
at first!
No one noticed anything amiss when the drug was first introduced into the body.
But gradually, after about five or six hours, the poison began to take effect, and some people started to feel that something was wrong!
"Ugh, I feel so uncomfortable! What's wrong? My stomach hurts so much!"
One of the armed men who had initially drunk the water clutched his stomach, his face turning blue and contorted in pain, and uttered these words.
Then!
"Pfft!"
He knelt down on the ground, then his body slammed to the ground, and he fell silent.
The people around him were stunned by what they saw.
"what happened?"
"what's the situation?"
"What's up with him?"
"I've never seen him have any illness before, how did he suddenly become like this?"
A group of people watched this scene and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
But at the same time, he didn't forget to go up and check on his teammates.
result!
"died!!!"
The first person to check out his teammates' status exclaimed in surprise.
And with that exclamation, just like the first domino falling, the exact same thing happened next.
"I'm in so much pain, my stomach hurts so much!!!"
There was that same sound again, and yet another person collapsed on the scene.
Then came the second, the third, and the fourth!
At last!
Everyone at the scene collapsed.
however!
This wasn't just happening here; people started falling down in various places, regions, and corners throughout the base.
One!
two!
Three!
Almost everyone started to collapse.
of course!
It's not that there aren't lucky people who don't fall down.
They were either sleeping and hadn't drunk any water, or they had water in containers but hadn't drunk the base's tap water, which prevented them from being poisoned and thus from dying.
But this is very, very rare.
The entire base has only about a dozen or twenty people.
After all, Lin Zhengyi poisoned them during the day, and during the day, most people are conscious, except for a small number of those who were on night shift.
During the day, when you're awake, you naturally need to drink water.
You can get poisoned by drinking water.
"what's the situation?"
"what happened?"
"What's wrong!?"
Those who survived looked at their fallen colleagues with bewildered expressions.
And at the same time!
Mrs. M realized that something was wrong.
"what's the situation?"
She looked at her fallen subordinates around her and couldn't help but speak.
Perhaps it was just good luck, but Mrs. M had a little habit of drinking branded bottled water, so she never drank the water from the base.
This explains why she was not poisoned.
Of course, this seemed a bit luxurious on an island in the middle of the ocean, especially for an assassin organization like theirs. They couldn't easily reveal their location, and only occasionally would a ship deliver supplies.
The boat itself can't carry much, so to bring her enough water for her daily drinking would be an extravagant luxury.
But what can you do when she's the leader of the organization?
Although it may seem extravagant, she is the leader, so what's wrong with being a little extravagant?
And it was this little habit that saved her.
Talking!
She immediately went forward to check on the condition of the most recently fallen subordinate.
After observing the other person's appearance and checking that there were no other wounds on their body, Mrs. M quickly made a judgment: the other person had been poisoned.
But here is the problem.
What kind of virus exists on the island that could knock everyone out?
After much deliberation, Mrs. M finally came to the answer: No!
There is no such virus on the island.
This island was a base she carefully selected and has been used for decades. How could she not know whether it carries a virus?
If we exclude viruses that were already present on the island, then it can only be said that the virus came from outside.
But the problem came again.
It has been three months since the last delivery of supplies.
If the virus was brought in during the last shipment of supplies, it certainly wouldn't have only broken out now!
therefore!
After much deliberation, Mrs. M finally arrived at an answer that sent chills down her spine.
There must be outsiders on the island. These outsiders brought poison, or rather, it was these outsiders who poisoned the island.
Only in this way can the current situation be explained.
But where are the outsiders?
Mrs. M was unaware.
But the island is only so big; if you want to find it, you definitely can.
Thinking of this, Mrs. M immediately left the room and walked outside.
She felt that since her subordinates were dead but she was not, it meant that the poison was not spread through the air, but through some medium. This meant that there were likely other survivors.
She wanted to gather the remaining people together first, and then find the intruder.
only!
As soon as she stepped outside, she couldn't help but gasp.
There were survivors, and she saw one or two.
But there were far more corpses.
There were corpses in various places.
The entrance, the corridors, the base's plaza, the watchtower—all were littered with corpses, lying horizontally, prone, sprawling in various positions; it was truly a scene of carnage.
The scene was extremely horrific!
Chapter 825 Collapse
quickly!
Mrs. M then gathered the remaining people together.
There are twenty-three in total.
Seeing that only so many people remained in the entire base, Mrs. M's face immediately turned ashen!
There were originally three or four hundred people in the base!
The fact that only so many people are left means that nearly four hundred people have died.
And these were all loyal subordinates she had carefully selected over the decades.
It can be considered her assets.
Now they've all scattered, and she doesn't know when she'll be able to gather so many people again.
but!
Based on her guess, the poisoner was likely still on the island, so she could only suppress her anger and calmly order, "Given the current situation, it's almost certain that the base has been poisoned!"
"We've lived on this island for over ten years. If it were a poisonous island, it wouldn't have erupted so late!"
“In this situation, the poison can only come from outside. Our island is located in the middle of the sea and rarely has any substantial contact with the outside world. The last ships that transported supplies were three months ago.”
"Under these circumstances, it's unlikely that it was brought by ships transporting supplies. You know, we've consumed quite a lot of supplies in the past three months. If it were brought by ships transporting supplies, it's impossible that the outbreak would only occur now!"
