Chapter 149 Mutated Insects and Roses

Drinking rose tea can cure insect virus influenza, why do they seem so unconvinced?

"Xiao Li." Su Yan's gaze fell on Zhen Jinli's face and asked in confusion.

"How do you know that soaking roses in water can kill insect viruses?"

Zhen Jinli: “.”

Well, when she changed the rules, she should have changed the roses to isatis root.

Now she doesn't have to explain such an outrageous move to everyone.

Zhen Jinli had no choice but to repeat to Su Yan and the others what she had said to deceive Song Tianlan.

Although it seemed a bit outrageous, they had to believe it no matter how outrageous it was after hearing the hotel waiters talking about it.

Waiter A: "There's news that a clinical study at the hospital found that drinking rose water can cure this viral flu."

Waiter B: "Really? I'll have to order some more roses from the florist later, just as a precaution against the virus."

Su Yan: “.”

Silence: “.”

I always feel that this game is becoming increasingly out of sync with their common sense.

Next, because a method to control the insect virus was discovered, players can finally continue to stay in the game with peace of mind.

In order to save money, some players rent small hotels, or work in the game while living in staff dormitories.

All players work hard to live in the game, striving to survive until the last day.

On the fifth day of the game, the color of the roses seemed to have become darker.

Looking at the gorgeous red roses in the central garden, Zhen Jinli, Su Yan and Shen Ji all looked a little solemn.

The bees were almost as big as apples, and the butterflies were as big as fans.

This is so unusual.

There have been announcements in the news asking citizens to reduce going out, especially to stay away from central gardens and suburbs where they may encounter insects.

Firefighters were also dispatched, spraying pesticides everywhere to kill the mutated insects, but with little success.

Many players and NPCs were attacked by insects. This time they were not infected with viruses, but were directly killed by the insects' poisonous stings.

That’s right, the stingers of those bees are as big as chopsticks nowadays. Wouldn’t a sting from them be fatal?

Some people who were lucky enough to be attacked by insects and survived were also seriously injured and had to go to the hospital to treat their wounds.

Butterflies may look gorgeous and harmless, but they are actually the most difficult to deal with.

As long as the butterfly flaps its wings gently, a large piece of scales will fall off its wings.

The scale powder is poisonous and will corrode the surface of the skin of humans who come into contact with it.

This time, even if they drank rose tea again, it had little effect on the wounds corroded by butterfly scales.

The people who originally stayed in the hotel were fine at first, as there was a relatively sufficient supply of food in the hotel.

However, because the kitchen helpers were attacked one after another by giant mutated insects when they went out to buy ingredients, gradually no one dared to go out to buy ingredients.

On the seventh day of the game, the color of the rose turned purple.

The hotel staff told the guests: "Starting tomorrow, we can only provide one meal a day."

The guests were dissatisfied and shouted, "Why? We paid for it!"

The staff member snorted coldly, "Right now, the staff in our hotel are struggling to protect themselves. We are very lucky to be able to provide you with food."

"Trucks transporting vegetables, meat, rice, and grain have all been attacked by insects. Truck drivers have either contracted insect viruses, died from insect attacks, or had their skin corroded by butterfly scales."

"If you have the ability, why don't you go out and buy the ingredients yourself?"

The hotel is unable to fully meet the guests' food supply needs, but unexpectedly, some guests even asked to apply facial masks.

Some even said they couldn’t get used to the water in the hotel and had to drink bottled water.

Naturally, these unreasonable requests were rejected one by one by the staff.

After the initial commotion, the residents calmed down and comforted each other.

"It's good enough to have something to eat. Now is an extraordinary period, so everyone should just be patient."

Although Zhen Jinli had plenty of food in her space, she didn't dare to give it to everyone at this time.

After all, in the eyes of these NPCs, she is just an ordinary person.

Although they could not hear anything about the game, such precious things as space and things would inevitably attract the covetousness of evil people.

As for players with special abilities, they dare not rashly reveal the fact that they have special abilities.

After all, using superpowers means consuming physical and mental energy. What if you die and your props and equipment are picked up by others? Wouldn’t that be a big loss?

It’s not the last moment yet, so let’s just survive for a while.

***

On the eighth day of the game, the color of the roses turned dark purple.

Someone wanted to use dark purple rose tea to treat a wound, but found that after drinking the water, the wound worsened and began to ooze pus.

As soon as the news spread, everyone immediately threw away the roses in their hands.

Even the roses that could save lives have now become poisonous flowers that bring death.

What other methods do they have to save themselves?

On the eighth night of the game, some people were so hungry that they left the hotel under the cover of darkness.

The man wrapped himself tightly, wearing a mask, gloves and a raincoat.

He held a fruit knife in his hand, and if he was attacked by an insect, he would fight it.

What's more, armed police officers and patrol officers were nearby. He shouldn't be so unlucky as to be attacked by insects, right?

The man walked onto the street and found that most of the snack bars were closed. Only some large supermarkets protected by bodyguards and police officers were still open.

He was so hungry that he went in and bought a loaf of bread and a bottle of mineral water. After filling his stomach, he bought dozens of packets of instant noodles.

On his way back, the man seemed to hear a buzzing sound in his ears.

The sound came from far away and gradually came to the man.

Noticing a bee approaching, the man decisively ran forward.

But how can his running speed compare to that of the mutant bees?

The man was soon caught up by the bees. After all, he was holding a large bag of instant noodles in his hand and could not run fast.

Facing the bee that had now grown as big as a basketball, the man pulled out a folding fruit knife from his pocket and planned to fight the bee.

Faced with the knife tip waving wildly and without any rules, the bee found it difficult to get close to the man. Finally, after spraying a large amount of mucus on the man's face, it turned around and flew away.

The man didn't expect that resisting with a fruit knife would actually be effective. He immediately felt relieved, wiped the mucus off his face, turned around and went back to the hotel with the instant noodles.
