Chapter 416 Grain

Unless they are prepared to mutiny on the spot, it is meaningless to question them face to face.

If he did it, he would not admit it, and it would alert the enemy. If he did not do it, it would be useless to ask him.

On the contrary, the butler was more credible than the city lord after being certified by Diana.

But Lynch and the other four could not interrogate the butler, and Dr. Swen was not suitable either. Only Knight Terry was the best candidate.

After running to four places to save the situation, it was now four or five o'clock in the afternoon. The city was full of smoke, peaceful and calm, and a calm scene.

Who knows what kind of fierce storms and storms are hidden under such a peaceful appearance.

The third day is almost over. Can we successfully complete this memory and successfully return to our own era?

The three looked at each other and smiled at each other.

It must be possible, as long as we don't stop!

Terry had arranged everything before leaving, and all his trusted soldiers were sent out to conduct a city-wide investigation. Fortunately, there are only 8,000 people and less than 2,000 households, so it should be completed before dark.

As guests, the three of them certainly didn't need to run around with ordinary soldiers. While there was no accident, they quickly walked around the city and checked the three planting sites one by one.

The growth is gratifying.

The ten seeds planted on the first day have begun to bear fruit. The fist-sized fruits are hanging on the bushes, gray and not cute at all.

It's still hard to see the eyebrows and eyes. Lynch thought it was an apple in his previous life. He wanted to pick one and taste it, but thinking that this thing is highly poisonous, he decided to let his head go.

The five seeds planted yesterday morning have also bloomed. The pistil of each flower has some abnormal bulges. If you look closely, it looks like a human face, full of evil breath.

I actually think it's a bit cute. I must have been hanging out with cultists too much.

Lynch glanced at Judy. Fortunately, he brought this girl this time, otherwise the language alone would be an unsolvable problem.

Besides, as long as she is there, Lynch is not worried about encountering any big problems. This girl is his biggest trump card.

As the number of plants to be watered increased, Lin Qi's bleeding also increased greatly. Today, he had to irrigate two buckets of diluted blood.

Losing blood for two consecutive days was indeed a bit too much, but he could still hold on. Lin Qi gritted his teeth and endured it. After personally watering the human-faced fruits in the city, the three of them went around to the east gate of the city.

The originally bustling east gate was now deserted.

No travelers entered the city anymore. Presumably, the nearby ghouls had scared away almost all the people around them. The farmers outside the city also hid back in the city early and dared not leave the city at will. It is said that the ghouls outside the city appeared more and more frequently today. Many farmers had close contact with them, and several travelers who wanted to escape to other cities with a fluke mentality were almost attacked by ghouls, and finally fled back to Noflan in panic.

It seems that Dr. Swen is very careful. For fear that the plague will spread, he has asked his people to completely block the surrounding area.

This is good, at least no one will happen to see our behavior.

The three sneaked out of the city and sneaked into the woods. They also watered the last batch of human-faced fruits and confirmed that all the fruits grew normally. Then they returned to the northern fortress with peace of mind.

Knight Terry has not returned yet, but some soldiers have returned one after another.

But they did not bring back good news. The missing plague food has not been found, which means that this sword is still hanging over everyone's head.

Perhaps the only good news is that there is no bad news for the time being.

Dr. Swen is still busy in the training ground. From a distance, she can feel the mysterious filth stirring from time to time. Obviously, she is still continuing her research.

When she saw Lynch and his group return, Dr. Swen immediately stopped the work in his hands, rushed over and gave Lynch a hug.

? ? ?

The group was all confused, only Officer Natalie rolled her eyes and quickly came over to carry the oblivious female ghoul away.

"Only viewing is allowed, no touching is allowed."

"The food has been delivered." Dr. Swen spoke quickly, his voice full of excitement, "With these fresh samples, I am confident that I can prepare the medicine, and it will not be later than tomorrow noon. You really helped us a lot. If the city is finally saved, most of it is your credit."

However, Lynch felt a pain in his heart. He suddenly understood why Officer Natalie reminded him not to get too close to these people when he just entered.

Everything is a dream.

In fact, you were not saved, you are all dead.

What if I saved everyone, what if you are grateful to us? When the memories of the strange things are over, these rescues and gratitude will disappear with the memories.

The bitter taste spread in his heart. At this moment, Lynch really regretted taking the characters in his memories so seriously.

But after all, he had experienced the baptism of countless games in his previous life, and he immediately realized that this was just like the game I played?

It is true that everything is an illusion when you close the game, and nothing will exist when you reopen it. But I did not gain nothing. Not only did I gain the experience and knowledge I needed, but I also helped them not out of their gratitude, but because I wanted to. I made every choice according to my heart. The key point is that I did it and got satisfaction from it. Everything else is not that important.

The confusion in his eyes faded quickly, and Lynch's eyes became clear: "Don't be so polite, I can get what I want by doing these, we each get what we need. And I have said long ago that our position is you, it is you who has been working hard to solve this crisis, you should thank yourself. How is it, the problem was found in those foods? What is the result?"

"The source of the plague is hidden in those foods. To be precise, the meat and fruit are normal, only the flour and bread are problematic." Dr. Swen said with certainty, "The stomach contents were mixed together before and it was difficult to identify, but with the new samples, I can be sure that the hand and foot are on these flours. I should not have time to go back tonight, and you have also helped us run for a day. Go back and rest early. If there is anything, I will let someone notify you. Tomorrow... maybe something will happen again."

Lynch also had this intention. He took the opportunity of calm to rest as much as possible to save strength. However, before he agreed, he saw Knight Terry running back in a hurry.

"The food was taken from the city lord's mansion, and... it was prepared by Lodge under the city lord's order. Lodge said that the bacon and fruit were taken from the kitchen, and the people in the mansion usually eat the same thing. Only the flour... was freshly ground, and they were packed and taken away after grinding."

"Why freshly ground flour?"

"Rocky said that this was the city lord's request. He said he didn't want outsiders and family members to eat the same food, so he asked Lodge to grind four bags of flour according to the same standard."

Lynch thought this reason was strange, but it couldn't be said to be unreasonable. However... he and the ladies looked at each other and realized a serious problem.

"So, the problem is likely to be the grains used to grind flour?" Dr. Swain was also shocked. "Where did he use the grains? Jackson's own stock?"

Knight Terry replied: "No, it was the wheat harvested early this year, which was delivered to the drying barn by each family."

Lynch couldn't sit still anymore. It might not be the flour that was tampered with, but this batch of grains. Lin Qi couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."
