Chapter 278: Winery Closed

Chapter 278: Winery Closed

This winery is not only famous for its unique brewing technology, but also highly respected for Lin Zhiyan's profound understanding of ancient winemaking secrets. However, on a seemingly ordinary morning, the door of the winery was unexpectedly closed, with a wooden sign "Closed for rectification" hanging on the lintel, which aroused speculation among the surrounding residents.

The two brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, as good friends of Lin Zhi Yanjun and frequent customers of the winery, were very puzzled by this matter. They decided to jointly investigate and uncover the truth behind the closure of the winery. Wang Jun has a keen intuition and extraordinary analytical ability, while Wang Kai is good at infiltration investigation. The two work together seamlessly.

At the same time, the four brothers and sisters of the Zerg tribe - Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li - also joined the exploration journey. Li?, as the wisest of the family, is good at logical reasoning; Li Ming, agile, is the action leader of the team; Li Hua, proficient in herbs, has unique insights into the raw materials of the winery; and Li Li, with her sweet appearance and keen insight, can always obtain key information in interpersonal communication.

Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan, two young women from different families, also volunteered to join the investigation team because of their love for the winery and their trust in Lin Zhi Yanjun. Hua Yuan is good at collecting intelligence, while Zhang Yuan has a strong interest in winemaking technology. She believes that through detailed analysis, she will be able to find clues to the closure of the winery.

The investigation started from the inside of the winery. Wang Jun and Wang Kai sneaked into the winery and found that the winemaking workshop was in a mess, as if someone had deliberately vandalized it. Li? analyzed the winemaking log and found that the winery's raw material purchase volume had been abnormal in recent times, and the quality of some raw materials was far below the usual standard. This discovery made everyone realize that the closure of the winery might be related to raw material problems.

As the investigation deepened, Li Hua accidentally discovered a rare toxin when checking the raw materials for winemaking. Although the toxin was in trace amounts, it was enough to destroy the taste of the wine and even be harmful to the human body. Based on the clues of the toxin, Li Ming sneaked into the black market of the Zerg market and found that this toxin was an item that was recently traded in large quantities by some criminals.

Li Li used her social skills to get important information from the winery's competitors. It turned out that someone secretly planned this conspiracy to damage the reputation of the "Time and Fragrance" winery, attempting to destroy the raw materials and put the winery in crisis.

Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan collected more clues about the mastermind through their own channels. They found that the mastermind behind all this was actually an old friend who had a deep connection with Lin Zhi Yanjun, who was driven by jealousy and interests and embarked on this road of no return.

After obtaining solid evidence, Wang Jun and Wang Kai decided to take action. They took advantage of legal loopholes in the Zerg world and designed a sophisticated trap, successfully bringing the mastermind to justice. At the same time, they also exposed the illegal network of toxin trading in the black market, setting a new benchmark for food safety in the Zerg world.

Lin Zhi Yanjun and Zhang Ying were so grateful for everyone's help that they decided to hold a grand celebration and invited all the friends and neighbors who participated in the investigation to attend. In this event, not only the newly brewed wine from the winery was displayed, but also the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance in the Zerg world to face difficulties together was demonstrated.

It looks ordinary on the outside, but in fact it hides the secret of brewing a magical wine that can connect the emotions of the two tribes. However, a few days ago, the door here was suddenly closed, and there was no noise and aroma of wine in the past, which aroused the high alert of Lin Zhi Yanjun and Zhang Ying.

"Zhang Ying, what do you think is the reason for the closure of the winery?" Lin Zhi frowned sternly and glanced around sharply.

Zhang Ying shook his head, his expression solemn: "I don't know, but this matter is definitely not simple. The closure of the winery may directly affect our friendly relations with the Zerg. We must find out the truth as soon as possible."

The two were about to push the door open, but were interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps. The Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai hurried over, their faces full of anxiety.

"Linzhi Yanjun, Zhang Ying, you came at the right time! We just learned from our father that the closure of the winery may be related to a series of mysterious events that have occurred recently." Wang Jun said anxiously.

"Mysterious incident?" Zhang Ying's eyes became sharper when he heard this.

"Yes, there have been some rumors circulating in the city recently about the winery being cursed, and some people have witnessed some strange figures appearing at night." Wang Kai added with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Lin Zhi frowned severely. He knew that in the Zerg world, rumors could quickly spread and cause unnecessary panic. He decided to immediately investigate and uncover the truth.

The group entered the winery, which was empty, with only the winemaking utensils lying quietly in the corner, as if telling of its past glory. There was a faint musty smell in the air, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.

"It seems that we have to start the investigation from the beginning." Lin Zhi looked around sternly, with a plan in mind.

Just as they were about to split up, a slight noise caught Zhang Ying's attention. She turned around quickly and saw a black shadow flash through the crack of the door.

"Chase!" Lin Zhi gave a stern order, and the four of them quickly rushed out of the winery and chased in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.

After a chase, they came to an abandoned warehouse. The door of the warehouse was closed, but the faint light from the crack in the door showed that there was someone inside.

Lin Zhi Yanjun took a deep breath and pushed the door open. In the warehouse, several figures in black robes were surrounding a pile of strange tools, chanting something in a low voice. And among them, there were the winemaking tools that the winery had lost!

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Lin Zhi asked sternly, his voice echoing in the empty warehouse.

The black-robed people were obviously startled by the sudden change. They looked at each other and quickly fled in all directions. Lin Zhi Yanjun and his four companions immediately started chasing them. After a fierce battle, they finally captured two of them.

During the interrogation, they learned that these black-robed men came from an organization called "Shadow Society" and that they attempted to destroy the winery and create chaos in order to split the Zerg and humans.

"So that's why. No wonder there are some rumors." Zhang Ying suddenly realized.

"We must immediately inform the leaders of the two tribes to prevent the situation from deteriorating further." Lin Zhi's eyes were stern and his expression was firm.

Afterwards, they returned to the winery with the captured black-robed man and the recovered winemaking equipment. After some efforts, the winery was finally reopened, and the conspiracy of the "Shadow Society" was completely exposed and received the due punishment.

This incident not only deepened the friendship between Linzhi Yanjun, Zhang Ying and the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, but also made the people of the two ethnic groups more determined to jointly maintain peace. In the days to come, they will work together to face more challenges and tests.

As a result, the quality of the wine was greatly affected. As the main manager of the winery, Lin Zhi was naturally worried. She decided to go to the water source in person - a clear spring deep in a mysterious forest outside the town, to find out.

Zhang Ying was worried about Lin Zhi's safety, so he proposed to go together and invited the brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai to be bodyguards. The two insect brothers readily agreed. They were not only extremely powerful, but also more familiar with the forest than ordinary people. They were the best guides and protectors. At the same time, Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li also expressed their willingness to go together. They were eager to contribute their own strength to the peace of their homeland.

The group embarked on a journey of exploration, passing through the winding paths and finally came to the depths of the forest wrapped in ancient legends. The spring was still flowing, but if you look closely, you can find tiny silver particles floating on the water, which are the particles that cause the wine quality to deteriorate.

Lin Zhi squatted down and carefully scooped up a handful of water, trying to find clues from it. At this moment, a low humming sound suddenly sounded, and then a huge silver Zerg creature slowly walked out from the depths of the woods, its eyes flashing with wisdom, as if it was the source of the change in the spring.

Wang Jun and Wang Kai quickly stood in front of Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying, watching the creature with vigilance. The four Li brothers and sisters surrounded them, each showing a fighting posture, ready to deal with possible conflicts. However, to everyone's surprise, the silver Zerg creature did not attack, but communicated with everyone through telepathy in a gentle voice.

"I am the guardian of this forest, Silver Wing. In recent years, a dark force from another world has gradually eroded our world, causing the destruction of the natural balance. The changes in Qingquan are the result of the influence of this force." Silver Wing's voice echoed in everyone's hearts, full of sadness and determination.

When Lin Zhi heard this, she felt an inexplicable resonance in her heart. She realized that as time travelers, she and Zhang Ying might be able to play a key role in this crisis. So, she bravely stood up and asked, "Yin Yi, how can we help you and restore peace to this forest?"

Silver Wing's eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped at Lin Zhi. It seemed to see hope. "You need to find and destroy the source of the dark power. It is hidden in the dark cave in the deepest part of the forest. But this road is full of unknowns and dangers. Are you ready?"

Facing Yin Yi's question, Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying and the Zerg brothers and sisters did not hesitate at all. They looked at each other with a determined light in their eyes. An adventure concerning the fate of the Zerg world began.

Led by Yin Yi, they passed through the dense forest, crossed the steep mountains, and finally came to the entrance of the cave shrouded in darkness. The wind in the cave was gusting, as if it could swallow up all the light. But Lin Zhi and his group did not retreat. They held their weapons tightly and stepped carefully into this unknown area.

Deep in the cave, the source of the dark power - a huge dark creature is sleeping, and its breath releases energy that is enough to distort reality. Facing such a powerful enemy, Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying fight together, using their wisdom as traversers and the power of their Zerg brothers and sisters to launch a thrilling battle.

After a long and arduous journey, they braved all obstacles and marched forward, encountering numerous difficulties and obstacles, but never gave up hope and faith. In the end, their efforts paid off, and they successfully found the key to defeating the terrifying dark creature!

At this critical moment, Zhang Ying's eyes were focused and sharp, his hands tightly grasped the energy weapon, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura. He took a deep breath, then suddenly exerted force, concentrating all the strength in his body on the weapon in his hand. In an instant, a dazzling light gushed out from the tip of the weapon, rushing straight towards the core of the dark creature at lightning speed.

There was a loud "boom" as the light accurately hit the core of the dark creature. Immediately afterwards, a huge shock wave spread out in all directions, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart. Under the impact of this powerful force, the dark creature instantly collapsed and turned into a mass of black smoke that dissipated in the air, and it could no longer cause any trouble.

As those creepy dark creatures completely disappeared, the cave, which was originally shrouded in endless darkness, began to undergo wonderful changes. The dense and indissoluble darkness seemed to be slowly pushed away by an invisible giant hand, and gradually, bit by bit, it dissipated.

Finally, a ray of warm and soft golden sunlight penetrated through layers of obstacles and shone in from a crack in the top of the cave. This ray of sunlight was like a sharp sword, piercing through the shackles of darkness and bringing a ray of life and hope to the entire cave.

At the same time, various creatures that had been hiding in the depths of the forest also appeared one after another. Some of them jumped lightly between the branches, and some walked slowly with graceful steps. Silver Wing spread its wide wings shining with silver light, circled in the air for a few circles, and landed steadily on the ground. These creatures gathered together in the direction of Lin Zhi and his group, expressing their most sincere gratitude to them in their own unique ways.

The spring, which was once polluted by the dark power and became turbid, now regained its former clarity and vitality. The spring water gurgled, making a clear and pleasant sound, as if playing a cheerful movement to celebrate its rebirth. The wine shop that was forced to close due to the rampage of dark creatures can now finally open for business again. The shop owner wiped the wine jars and glasses with joy, ready to welcome the long-lost customers.

After this difficult battle, Huayuan Town finally got rid of the shadow of darkness and ushered in the long-awaited peace and prosperity. The streets and alleys were filled with people's laughter, children were playing on the streets, and the elderly were sitting in the doorway basking in the sun and telling stories of the past. The market was crowded with people, and the dazzling array of goods was dazzling; the shops were doing a booming business, and the faces of the shop owners were filled with happy and satisfied smiles. The whole Huayuan Town was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
