Chapter 94 Black Bug

At the city gate.

Zhou Bai saw that there was a new orc next to Jiang Mian. He was not the same orc as the one in the morning. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and did not ask any more questions.

"Let's go." Zhou Bai adjusted his black-framed glasses and spoke.

"Yeah." Jiang Mian nodded and put on the oxygen mask.

The three men left the city wearing oxygen masks.

Came to the White Moon Forest again.

Near a patch of red grass.

Three people stood in it.

When Zhou Bai handed the collection tools to Jiang Mian, Jiang Mian took one set of the collection tools and said, "Please give me another set of collection tools."

Zhou Bai looked at Jiang Mian with a slightly puzzled look, thinking that Jiang Mian wanted his orcs to come and work for him as well.

But in the morning, the other party was able to tell the difference and would not let her own orcs come to work for him.

Jiang Mian looked at him and knew he had misunderstood, so he explained: "I want to lend you a set of collection tools so that my orcs can also collect red moonworms. However, the red bloodworms collected by my orcs belong to me, and I can pay you for the collection tools."

She thought she could also collect red bloodworms to make hallucinogenic drugs, and of course many other drugs.

Anyway, I have brought Lin Yu here, so it would be a waste not to use him.

After hearing Jiang Mian's explanation, Zhou Bai seemed to understand and said, "It's okay. The collection tools are not worth much. I'll give them to you."

He thought Jiang Mian wanted to collect red moonworms and sell them to pharmacists or something.

Naturally, he didn't know that Jiang Mian collected the red moonworms to make potions for himself.

He also didn't know that Jiang Mian was not a pharmacist.

After all, as he had thought before, no pharmacist would lower himself to become another pharmacist's assistant.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhou." Jiang Mian responded with a faint smile.

"Well, let's get to work." Zhou Bai took out a new set of collection tools and handed them to Jiang Mian.

After Jiang Mian took it, Zhou Bai went to a corner and started collecting red moonworms.

Jiang Mian handed another set of collecting tools to Lin Yu and said slowly: "Lin Yu, I'm sorry for the trouble."

Lin Yu naturally took the gloves and put them on, then picked up the tools.

Jiang Mian also put it on, grabbed his hand and squatted over to the Red Moon Grass next to him and said, "It's very simple, just sweep these Red Moon Bugs into the bottle."

He stared at her mask for a while with a gloomy look. It was clearly just a mask, but she seemed different when she put it on.

The curved smiley mask also seemed to really resemble her smiling face.

He also wanted to reach out and touch it.

Lin Yu noticed that she was about to look over, and when she looked over, he quickly pretended to look at the collection tools in her hand.

"Got it?" Jiang Mian looked at him and handed him the collection tools. "Just collect them here."

Jiang Mian naturally had no intention of demonstrating this kind of collection work, which did not require any technical skills, a second time. The first time she demonstrated it, she only told Lin Yu that she wanted to collect these red moon bugs.

"Okay." Lin Yu took the tools handed over by Jiang Mian and began to collect them carefully.

Jiang Mian also went to another place to collect them.

The night is getting darker.

Jiang Mian had to turn on the light of the computer to see the collection clearly.

However, Lin Yu and Zhou Bai did not turn on the lighting collection of the optical computer.

Jiang Mian glanced at Zhou Bai who was still collecting information skillfully over there, his eyes paused slightly. The orcs' night vision is better than that of humans, so they don't need lighting.

Just like Lin Yu now, he collected everything very neatly without any lighting.

A guess came to Jiang Mian's mind.

Jiang Mian lowered his head and continued to collect. If Zhou Bai was not a human being, the city lord would be Zhou Qing. These two people had the same surname, so it always felt like they were related.

Zhou Bai is an orc, and the city lord Zhou Qing may also be an orc.

Only orcs who have completed their transformation into beasts and can freely exist in various forms, such as human, beast, and half-human, half-beast, can disguise themselves as humans.

However, the genes, blood, etc. of ordinary orcs are different from those of humans, and they can be detected as long as they are tested.

I don't know how they avoided detection.

Jiang Mian thought about it and didn't plan to do anything.

Anyway, no matter whether the city lord and Zhou Bai are human or orcs, it’s okay as long as they get along happily.

She had no intention of investigating or reporting anything.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and Jiang Mian had already put on his down jacket.

Jiang Mian touched the fish for a while, then looked over there at Zhou Bai who was collecting red moonworms like a machine tirelessly.

Aren’t you getting off work yet?

"Okay." Zhou Bai finally spoke at half past ten.

Jiang Mian handed him the bottle tools with a sense of relief.

Zhou Bai saw Jiang Mian so anxious, his lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Jiang Mian had already walked in front of Lin Yu. After naturally taking the three bottles of red moonworms he had collected, he helped him take off his gloves. "Lin Yu, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Yu looked at the gloves that Jiang Mian helped him take off, and a hint of sweetness could not help but well up in his heart.

He couldn't help but feel happy at some small actions.

Happiness always becomes so easy because of her.

Being with her always makes me happy.

Lin Yu had no idea that Jiang Mian helped him take off his gloves because he had helped Jiang Mian collect red bloodworms all night.

Jiang Mian packed up his things, and when the three of them were about to leave, a tremor was felt.

The sound of running footsteps was heard from the inner area of ​​the White Moon Forest, and more than a dozen people ran out at once.

The light from the laptops in their hands was dazzling.

When Jiang Mian heard the sound and looked over subconsciously, she was blinded by the long-distance flashlights that were waving around, and she squinted slightly. When she was about to raise her hand to block the light, a slender big hand had already blocked her eyes, blocking the dazzling and glaring lights for her.

She paused and turned her eyes to look at Lin Yu, who was silently extending his hand to help her block the glare. He seemed to notice that she was looking at him, and lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on her.

Before Jiang Mian could react, a hint of coldness flashed across his narrow red eyes. His other hand quickly hugged her waist and he jumped away.

At the same time, Zhou Bai shouted, "Be careful!"

The sound of trees falling violently and the buzzing sound of the wind poured into Jiang Mian's ears.

Jiang Mian was taken away by Lin Yu. When she landed in a safe place, she turned her head to look at the place where she had just been. She saw a huge insect with two sharp black wings and a worm-like body suddenly landing on the place where she had just been. It flattened the surrounding red leaf grass and knocked down the trees.

The alien insects blocked the way of the dozen or so people who rushed out from the inner area of ​​the forest.

Two huge black tentacles of the alien insect suddenly swung out from its mouth like long whips, rushing towards the people who rushed out from the inner area of ​​the forest.

Those people immediately took out their laser guns and continuously fired at the huge alien insect tentacles and bodies.

Zhou Bai quickly rushed to Jiang Mian and the others and simply said, "Let's go quickly. Those people somehow provoked an alien insect."

"Yeah." Jiang Mian also nodded.

As the three people were quickly leaving, one of them was thrown away by the alien insect's tentacles and instantly fell in front of them, forcing them to stop.

A middle-aged man in a white coat and a white mask fell to the ground in a mess.

Their eyes met subconsciously.

Naturally, no one can recognize each other when wearing a mask.

"I'm a pharmacist. Are you guys going out? I broke my leg. Can you take me out with you?" the middle-aged man said quickly. "I'll reward you handsomely once we get out!"

The people he brought were fighting against the alien insects, and he was carrying 100,000 eggs of the alien insects on his body.

The eggs of black-winged insects are naturally worth studying.

"Pharmacist Li?" Zhou Bai recognized who this person was.

"You know me?" Li Chengfeng asked in surprise.

"Pharmacist Li, I am Zhou Bai." Zhou Bai quickly pulled Li Chengfeng up.

Zhou Bai supported him and walked forward quickly.

Lin Yu held Jiang Mian's hand tightly, and the two of them walked forward quickly together.

"Oh, you are the pharmacist. I was planning to visit you these days." Li Chengfeng said slowly, "What a fate."

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Bai asked.

"I saw on the Internet that that guy Bu Mian posted an experiment on the feasibility of extracting long-lived cells from the evergreen plant cultured from the eggs of the black-winged insect. It just so happened that I came here to pick some black wood mushrooms and took the eggs of the black-winged insect away." Li Chengfeng replied casually.

After a while, he excitedly spoke again: "I originally had this conjecture, but I'm still experimenting. However, according to my progress, it would probably take decades or even death to figure it out. What that guy Bumian came up with has directly advanced my thinking by a hundred years! I am now more confident that I can extract longevity cells while I am still alive!"
