Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Intentional Poisoning
Although the entire resort was abandoned, most of the facilities were still there.
After recovering, the eight elderly people turned on all the facilities and even cleaned up an inn for Chen Yu and his group.
After settling down briefly, Chen Yu took Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan on the cable car deeper into the mountains.
It could now be confirmed that this so-called illness was contracted through the external environment.
Upon entering the resort for the first time, Chen Yu had noticed a problem with the water supply.
It contained not only a large amount of heavy metal elements but also many toxins.
This was clearly a case of someone poisoning the water.
The water sources here were primarily from mountain springs; if one wanted to poison the water, that was the best place to do it.
After crossing over, Chen Yu and the others arrived at a ravine surrounded by numerous springs, each as clear as crystal.
But upon their arrival, they were met with a pungent smell that continually invaded their nostrils.
Chen Yu frowned and quickly took out specially made masks from his belongings to put on Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan, then he took a test tube to collect some samples from the springs.
He had brought a large amount of equipment with him this time and began to experiment with the samples immediately.
Moreover, he explained the process as he conducted the experiments, which Tuan Tuan listened to with great interest.
Besides vacationing and investigating, this trip was also an excellent educational experience for Tuan Tuan.
Though Tuan Tuan was a genius in dance and was destined for the arts, she also needed to know this knowledge from cultural lessons.
Before long, a large amount of sediment appeared in the test tube, and numerous bright red particles were filtered out.
This was a mixture of heavy metals that had been specially processed and blended into the spring water.
Tong Ya also brought over some rock samples, which were covered in some strange moss.
"It can now be confirmed that someone has poisoned the water; the rocks are interspersed with a large amount of medication," Tong Ya said with a furrowed brow, unable to understand why such a simple resort could offend someone to the point of being targets of poisoning.
Chen Yu packed away the samples and continued to move deeper into the mountains.
After traveling some distance, Chen Yu suddenly became alert.
Not far away, there was a recently abandoned campfire that was still emitting smoke.
"Dad, this looks so suspicious!"
Tuan Tuan whispered into Chen Yu's ear, appearing like a little secret agent.
Chen Yu ruffled Tuan Tuan's hair, "Then let's go check it out!"
The family of three approached the campfire cautiously and found some feathers scattered around.
It seemed someone had had a barbecue here, and there were at least five people.
Chen Yu exhaled softly and slowly looked up at the deep mountains not far away.

As the system's notification sounded, a three-dimensional image of the entire forest appeared in Chen Yu's mind.
Soon, he spotted a cabin hidden inside the dense forest.
Apart from a few piles of fire outside the door, there were many signs of life around the cabin, roughly indicating indeed five people.
"Ya Ya, you stay here with Tuan Tuan; I'll go and check it out."
Tong Ya nodded and instinctively hugged Tuan Tuan close.
Chen Yu followed the route given by the system, taking a small path around to the side.
At the entrance of the cabin sat three individuals, engrossed in a card game, with several large jars beside them that constantly emitted a foul stench.
As soon as they saw Chen Yu approaching, they immediately got up and became alert.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
One of the fierce-looking men took out a knife from his body and looked at Chen Yu coldly.
"Isn't this a vacation resort?" Chen Yu put on an innocent face. "I'm here for tourism."
The three of them burst into laughter as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world, clutching their bellies.
"Get out of here quickly, this is no longer any vacation resort. It won't be long before this place turns into a winery!"
Chen Yu's pupils dilated slightly. "A winery? What do you mean?"
"Such a good place, how could it possibly continue to let a bunch of inexplicable people run a vacation village here, of course, it's to develop its greatest economic value!"
Right at that moment, the remaining two people also walked out of the house.
"Why explain so much to a stranger? Just hurry up and get him to leave!"
Saying this, the few men prepared to shoo someone away.
Chen Yu didn't say much else, quietly taking note of everything here before turning around to leave.
Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan were sitting by the spring at the moment, holding several test tubes, continuously conducting experiments.
Through these small experiments, Tuan Tuan had basically revisited all of the chemistry knowledge from junior to senior high school.
By the time Chen Yu returned, the family of three went down the mountain and back into the resort.
However, when they descended the mountain, Chen Yu poured the drug residue that he had long prepared into the spring.
This residue was specially made with a certain ratio, specifically to deal with these heavy metal toxins.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yu, along with Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan, happily played around inside the vacation resort.
Roller coasters, sky flyers, pirate ships, and all sorts of entertainment facilities, they played on almost every one.
Speaking of which, this resort still had its own characteristics, such as the interconnected caves.
It wasn't until nine o'clock at night that they had tried all the attractions here.
The eight elderly people in the resort were now basically recovered, and many others had flocked back gradually.
Among them were the parents of the young man Chen Yu had previously treated.
[Congratulations, Host, you have earned five points]
[Congratulations, Host, you have earned eight points]
...
The continuous system notification sounds, although exciting for Chen Yu, were really too meager compared to the hundreds or even millions of points previously given.
Fortunately, the practical use rate of these points was much higher than before.
At nine o'clock the following morning, half of the villagers who had left the resort had already returned, but they all looked sickly, with some even being carried back on stretchers.
After falling ill, these villagers sought medical help everywhere, but aside from giving money to hospitals, they were unable to do anything else.
Some even died outside due to their worsening conditions.
Chen Yu was well prepared, setting up a small table on the open space outside the resort inn, treating each of the villagers in turn.
Not only did he remove the heavy metal toxins from their bodies, but he also cured various long-standing ailments that had accumulated inside them.
He even corrected the bones of some of the older folks.
