Chapter 363: The Result
As soon as these words came out, A Lu Zhi’s eyes flickered. Last night, when it was discovered that most of the patients were soldiers and Xiuluo warriors, A Lu Zhi already had this guess.
It’s just that he has no evidence, and saying such things without evidence will lower the morale of the soldiers. Besides, if the soldiers can’t trust their comrades in arms, it will give the enemy an opportunity to exploit this weakness when the soldiers are in disarray.
Looking at his expression, Xu Xiang knew that A Lu Zhi also had this guess. After a few seconds of silence, A Lu Zhi looked at her and asked, "Do you have evidence?"
Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Last night I checked the water and food, and found nothing. But after sorting out the test results, I found out that all the food and water contained some substances. If these substances are combined together, it would become a poison inside the body. While the poison is not fatal at first, if the patients can’t get the antidote within three days, they will die."
As soon as these words came out, A Lu Zhi’s eyes widened. He quickly took the papers filled with detailed information about everything that the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors ate. He read it carefully, and the more he read, the gloomier his expression became.
After reading it, he put down the papers and said, "Xu Xiang, you are right. These soldiers and Xiuluo warriors who were not infected with strange diseases did not eat everything. They shared the food with their families, and only ate a little bit of the food. As for the water, they didn’t bring it back because there is drinking water at home."
Xu Xiang looked at him and said, "Since we already know that this is not a disease but poison, then there is no need to worry. I will prepare the antidote and send it to the hospital. With these antidotes, the patients should recover soon."
Hearing what she said, A Lu Zhi nodded as he remembered that she was the one who detoxified them before.
Seeing his calm expression, Xu Xiang said, "Our first task now is to find the spies and arrest those barbarians. If we can’t get rid of them, no matter how much antidote I can provide is never enough."
