Paintings of Terror

Chapter 284: Question About The Scum

“Don’t scare me!” Wei Dong and Wu You said in unison to Ke Xun.

“What I mean is, let’s all decide whether to stay inside the house tonight or outside,” Ke Xun pointed outside, “It’s getting dark soon.” hijlr7

Tension suddenly gripped everyone’s hearts. This question indeed left them conflicted. After some thought, Shao Ling said, “Conventionally speaking, staying outside is more dangerous than staying inside the house. Since that’s the case, then I think we should stay inside.”

Wei Dong also nodded, “Staying inside the house might not protect us from the attacks of the force behind the painting, but think about the paintings ‘The Funeral’ and ‘Faith’, staying inside might not guarantee survival, but staying outside would surely lead to death. So, even if the house isn’t safe, we have no other choice, right?”

No one objected. Everyone unanimously decided to stay inside the house at night.

Wei Dong and Luo Bu were still worried about zombies appearing at night, so they reinforced all the doors and windows of the house. During that time, Qin Ci came out of the living room, sweating profusely, his clothes were also soaked with sweat. Hv0xie

Everyone asked about Xiao Kai’s condition, and Qin Ci shook his head, “If we can’t leave this painting soon, his condition will be very dangerous.”

“Take a break, drink some water,” Ke Xun handed him a cup of plant juice, recounted the clues they had just summarized to him, and then asked, “Do you have any other discoveries?”

Qin Ci gulped down some water, cleared his throat, and said, “Regarding the cause of Xiao Kai’s illness, I don’t think it’s caused by infrasound waves.”

“When I was wiping down his body with alcohol, I found a mosquito bite on the back of his neck. I’ve seen many cases of virus infections caused by mosquito and bug bites, usually presenting symptoms similar to malaria. Xiao Kai’s symptoms also resemble malaria. udgQzd

“But, I can only say it’s similar because malaria patients usually feel cold all over, have a rapid rise in body temperature, and suffer from severe headaches and persistent vomiting. I asked Xiao Kai, and the latter three symptoms all fit, but he didn’t feel cold all over, which puzzled me.

“The current problem is, without corresponding medical equipment, I can’t examine his internal condition and can only judge from his outward physical condition. He’s still running a high fever, which could easily lead to some complications. However, I believe we can basically rule out the speculation that his symptoms are caused by infrasound.”

“If that’s the case, then we need to be careful,” Ke Xun said. “It’s hard to guard against mosquitoes and bugs, so it’s best for everyone to cover exposed skin with clothes.”

“That’s going to be too hot. Plus, we don’t have much water to drink now,” Wei Dong said. “I suggest we look for mosquito repellents or something similar in the house.” gKNwFA
