In general, you just need to wait.

Su Nian put down the phone and said, "You just said wait, without even a specific time?"

Jing Mo shook his head, "It's definitely not that I don't want to give a specific time, it's just that I can't give it.

If the development is not successful and we are unable to mass produce it in due time, the prestige of the base will be reduced.”

Although Su Nian had to admit that what Jing Mo said made a lot of sense, he still hoped that scientists could help develop a new type of insecticide as soon as possible.

Otherwise, she and Jing Mo would probably have to go to the yard every day to kill bugs and repair the cement floor that was torn by bugs.

Whenever he thought about that kind of life, Su Nian couldn't help but frown.

Who would want to give up their peaceful life and deal with these disgusting bugs all day?

But Su Nian also knew that compared with many people in the base, she and Jing Mo were already very lucky.

At least they had enough pesticide and room to cheat.

The ground in the yard was repaired, the furniture in the house had to be put away twice a day, and the house was sprayed with insecticide and powder.

Most of the time, the two of them lived quite comfortably in the house.

Another three days passed, and there was still no news about the new insecticide, but Su Nian and Jing Mo learned about the epidemic from Kong Jianming.

These insects can get into any hole, so they will naturally get into water sources.

The water source was polluted, and people who drank the water gradually began to vomit and have diarrhea.

If it was just one or two cases it wouldn't be a big deal, but many people in the base were infected.

The hospital in the base is already overcrowded.

Kong Jianming reminded Su Nian and Jing Mo that they must boil water repeatedly when using it. Although he was not sure whether this could prevent the epidemic, it could at least give them peace of mind.

Jing Mo looked at the message and naturally agreed.

However, the two of them were not worried about contracting the disease at all.

Since the insect plague began, the two men have not gone to fetch water again.

Even the water that was fetched earlier was useless.

Su Nian has stored enough water. When it was extremely cold, he even collected some snow in the space. So of course he is not short of water now.

Just thinking about the situation in the base, Su Nian and Jing Mo's mood gradually became heavy.

The insect plague had not yet been resolved when the epidemic began.

If this continues, people will panic, which is not a good thing for the base.

Not to mention, there is also this endless thick fog, which makes people feel uneasy.

After the two were silent for a while, Su Nian suddenly thought of the underground city and asked Jing Mo, "I never asked you before, how is the construction of the underground city going?"

Jing Mo shook his head and said, "It's not even one-tenth completed yet, but if you want to live in it, it's not impossible.

If you go inside, you should be able to avoid these endless bugs.

Do you want to live in it?"

If Su Nian wanted to live there, it wouldn't be impossible given what he had done for the dungeon.

Jing Mo was still thinking when he saw Su Nian shaking his head, "I don't want to live in it. I was just thinking, if it's habitable and free from the annoyance of bugs, would anyone want to live in it?"

Hearing Su Nian say this, Jing Mo didn't even think about it and said directly, "Of course I will."

"If someone really moves in and the news spreads, will there be unrest in the base?"

No matter what time, what is worrying is not the scarcity but the inequality.

We are all human beings, all trying to survive in the apocalypse.

They were all experiencing insect plagues, as well as the threats of thick fog and epidemics. Why was it that some people could live in underground cities and sleep soundly while they had to live in fear of their lives at any time?

Jing Mo did not answer this time, but the two looked at each other and both knew that if someone really lived in the underground city, it was only a matter of time before unrest occurred.

It would have been fine if he hadn’t thought of it, but since he had thought of it, Jing Mo still contacted Sun Jianming.

Sun Jianming's voice soon came out from the receiver, sounding very tired.

"Jing Mo, what's wrong? It doesn't seem like anything is wrong?"

Jing Mo didn't bother to be polite. "Has anyone moved into the underground city?"

"How did you know?" Sun Jianming's tone was full of surprise. He obviously didn't expect Jing Mo already knew the news.

Jing Mo and Su Nian looked at each other before continuing, “I don’t know, I just thought of this.

Who are the people who live there? "

Sun Jianming smiled bitterly, "Who else could it be? Jing Mo, do you and Su Nian want to move in too? That's not impossible.

But you know the situation inside, it has not been fully built yet, the space is not very large, and many people of various identities have already moved in. If you and Su Nian go in, you will probably have to make do in a corner..."

Before Sun Jianming could continue, Jing Mo interrupted him and said, "We don't want to live there. I just want to say that if the news spreads, it might cause unrest. You are in charge of this, so I want to remind you to prepare early, otherwise you will end up being a nobody."

After all, they have known each other for such a long time and have dealt with each other so many times, so Jing Mo is not stingy with his words when it comes to reminders.

Kong Jianming agreed seriously, "I know, thank you for reminding me, you should be careful too."

Having said everything that needed to be said, Jing Mo hung up the call.

While Jing Mo and Kong Jianming were talking, Su Nian remained quiet.

Until now, Su Nian had no desire to speak.

Su Nian knew that classes and capital existed at all times.

Even though it is the end of the world now, it is still the same.

If it is said that Su Nian was reborn by chance, he would have a space, bought supplies in advance, and secretly lived a good life in the apocalypse.

Then those people are living a good life in an open and honest manner.

Su Nian is neither envious nor jealous because she has no shortage of good things.

But in this base, there are too many people who are living in danger of losing their lives every day and cannot get enough food.

You can still endure it at normal times, but when it comes to a life-threatening situation, you may not be able to endure it.

Su Nian thought a lot, but finally put these thoughts aside.

She just wants to live her own life, and doesn't want to rise up in rebellion or take the lead in judging injustice.

But what Su Nian didn't expect was that the base was attacked before the people in the base could even start to riot.

When the gunfire rang out, Su Nian and Jing Mo were having breakfast.

The sudden explosion of cannons made Su Nian and Jing Mo's rice bowls tremble.

The moment he heard the sound, Su Nian thought there was a fight inside the base.

But then, Jingmo's cell phone rang. It was Kong Jianming calling.

"Jing Mo, the base has been attacked, be careful."

After saying just this one sentence, Kong Jianming hung up.

At this time, no one is busier than Kong Jianming.

But despite his busy schedule, Kong Jianming still wanted to notify them, which shows that he really cares about them.

There is one more chapter being written...
