Watching this person speak so oddly, just like he’s gone mad, Bai Zhi suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Look, look, the zombies are here. I have to fight them, I have to fight them..."
The boy glanced around, then picked up a mop and started shooting at the air, not forgetting to add sound effects with his mouth.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
All he could see were zombies, and with his "bang bang bang," he took down a whole row of them.
Bai Zhi was even more certain now.
"I ask you, what did you eat before you t ?"
Only by figuring this out could she know what to do, right?
"Ah, look, the bunny monsters are here too. It’s okay, I killed them, and we can have rabbit at to eat.
I’ll go out and take them down."
Saying this, he hurried to the door to go out, but Bai Zhi pulled him back.
Using a karate chop to the neck to knock soone out is impossible; it’s all lies from TV. It’d be better to just hit with a stick.
Bai Zhi directly pulled him back and used a Golden Needle on his head, which cald him down. His mind also cleared up a little.
"I said, what did you eat before you t ?"
Bai Zhi had to ask again.
"I ate mushrooms, ah, Mario’s kind. The little guys that jump around, you know?"
He laughed, afraid Bai Zhi wouldn’t understand, and even made a jumping motion with his hand. If he hadn’t cleared up a bit, Bai Zhi thought he might just jump out.
Bai Zhi: "..." Got it. Mushroom poisoning.
"You didn’t know you can’t eat mushrooms if you don’t know whether they’re poisonous?"
Bai Zhi didn’t even know what to say. It was his good luck to run into her, otherwise, he might really have turned into a mushroom. That would have been hilarious.
"How could it be? Mario eats them all the ti. Master, you’re talking nonsense. Besides, I was hungry, and if I don’t eat, what do I do?" Though he said he must listen to his master.
But he wasn’t totally wrong.
Bai Zhi was too annoyed to argue, decided to just take action.
She pulled out a Golden Needle and directly pricked him with it.
"Master, what are you doing to ? Why can’t I move, oh, the mushrooms are coming out."
At this point, Zhang Ming’s eyes were filled with mushrooms, all growing legs and dancing on his body, each one adorable.
"Mm-hmm, dancing. If you eat more, you’ll be dancing on the Naihe Bridge. Those are toxic mushrooms, you foolish boy."
Bai Zhi forcefully poked his head, continuing the acupuncture.
Without any specific herbal dicine on hand, acupuncture was the only option.
In her bag, there were the last two Detoxification Pills, and she gave him one.
Bai Zhi looked around and finally found so newspapers. Seeing the date was recent, it indicated soone had lived here not long ago.
She looked at the newspapers, which were about a week apart, aning soone ca once a week.
The last day was a week ago, so probably the ranger would co tomorrow.
But with so many wolves, they couldn’t go out. How could they alert soone?
Bai Zhi’s gaze turned to the bow and arrow on the wall. She could use a bow, but... there were too many wolves.
And until tomorrow, who knows when the ranger would arrive.
Bai Zhi found a notebook, and it read: [A large number of wolves discovered, request capture on the next visit due to danger.]
This lifted Bai Zhi’s spirits. If that’s the case, help would certainly co. They just had to hold out.
She rummaged through Zhang Ming’s bag and indeed found what she was looking for: a herb that, if inhaled by the wolf pack, could weaken their combat effectiveness.
Bai Zhi thought it through; making paper balls with it, ignited paper balls would be best. She quickly got to work,
wrapping the herbs in those newspapers, found firewood, lit it, and threw it out.
The smoke ca out, its pungent sll imdiately making the wolf pack scatter.
Bai Zhi estimated that making about ten was the limit. A box would last at most half an hour, giving them only five hours.
It was still a long ti until dawn.
Bai Zhi could only keep thinking of solutions.
After taking the Detoxification Pills, Zhang Ming was much more alert, only feeling like he’d been a fool just now.
He couldn’t even face his master, so ashad of what he had said earlier.
"Master, I’m awake now, can you undo it?"
Not being able to move was really uncomfortable.
"No, what if you see the mushroom spirit again? This helps you stay clear-headed. I checked the kitchen, there’s firewood, we must keep the fire going.
This house is sturdy enough to offer so protection, but that chimney... I’m going to start a fire."
Bai Zhi rushed to light the fire. How could she forget about the chimney? If they ca in through the chimney...
Bai Zhi quickly got the fire going, smoke shooting up, and they heard the wolves howling on the roof.
It was truly dangerous.
After more than half an hour, Bai Zhi continued throwing.
anwhile, Zhang Ming had been moved to the bed by Bai Zhi.
Neither dared to sleep through the night, continuously feeding the fire, continually throwing herbs outside.
When dawn broke, they could hardly believe they’d held out for so long.
The wolf pack had not dispersed. Bai Zhi kept repeating her actions, but there was little firewood left.
Just when they thought they’d have to confront the wolves, help arrived.
Rangers brought a local security team to help, quickly seeing the wolf pack. They drove the wolves away with tear gas and other tools.
They then discovered Bai Zhi and Zhang Ming, and imdiately sent them to the nearest hospital, where Bai Zhi passed out.
Long-term malnutrition and anemia made Bai Zhi’s condition serious. Zhang Ming’s mushroom poisoning was also severe.
Fortunately, Zhang Ming had money and paid both their dical bills promptly.
When contacting people, Zhang Ming directly inford his parents.
His parents rushed over and learned from the ranger how dangerous the situation had been, and they really gave him a good scolding.
"Mom and Dad, I’m like this and you still hit ?" He looked at his parents in shock—weren’t they supposed to hug him and cry?
"And you dare speak, Yueyue told us everything. You insisted on surviving in the wilderness, and she couldn’t stop you. Do you not know you’re our only child? If anything happens to you, what are we supposed to do, huh? Tell us!"
Zhang Ming’s father hit hard. The more worried he was, the harder he hit. It wasn’t that he didn’t feel sorry, but fear, fear.
They had looked for him for so long without finding him, and he hadn’t left a single word. They knew how reckless this child was.
But what could they do? He was their son after all, even if he was reckless, he was their own flesh and blood. At worst, they’d let him be a parasite for life. That would be better than this.
"Never did I think, just telling you to find a job to support yourself would lead to this. You tell us, if sothing happened to you, we..."
Mrs. Zhang was also in tears, inconsolable.
