Zhao Hai's heart sank not because of the fire, but because someone had set it up on purpose. Another reason was that he had smelled something in the air.
Don't forget that Zhao Hai was not only a botanist, but also a pharmacist. He was very familiar with medicinal herbs and various kinds of drugs, including knockout drugs.
As soon as he got up, he smelled a faint smell of knockout powder, which was the reason why he was in such a deep sleep. The situation in the village was even worse. The village was on fire everywhere, but no one came out to put out the fire. Obviously, those people were all drugged.
Judging from the fire, it was obvious that someone had set it up. Otherwise, the fire wouldn't have spread everywhere. Moreover, the fire had almost surrounded the village, which was definitely abnormal.
Zhao Hai quickly tidied up his belongings and picked up a blanket. He walked outside and wet the blanket with water before rushing into elder Shen's room.
