Less than half an hour later, a squad of soldiers came running up, all carrying guns. Jian Ning, who was leading the group, recognized him immediately. It was Fu Mengfan.

The woman was already lifeless. Both corpses were covered with countless white worms that kept wriggling. From a distance, they looked like cicada cocoons.

"You all stay here and don't move. I'm going to take some samples to check. Go get some wood and burn these two people in a bit. Burn all the soil within three feet of this area."

As soon as Fu Mengfan arrived, he understood the seriousness of the situation and immediately gave orders. He took a stick and a small sampling bottle and carefully walked towards the body.

He has absolutely no protective gear. There's no way around it; he came in such a rush that he wasn't prepared at all.

Jian Ning had a good impression of Fu Mengfan, so she secretly threw him a spiritual energy shield, which could only last for less than five minutes, but that was enough time.

Fu Mengfan remained completely unaware. He continued to be extremely careful, trying his best not to touch the tiny white insects. After approaching the corpse, he used a stick to pick up a small pile and put it into the bottle. He quickly tightened the bottle cap.

In fact, we don't have the conditions to conduct experiments right now. If we want to know why these insects are so ferocious, the existing equipment is definitely not enough. We can only report it to higher authorities.

After they returned, the soldier who had been looking for wood also came back, carrying a small bottle of gasoline. He first shoveled up all the swirling soil and arranged it in a circle to prevent the white insects from escaping, and then he started to light it.

Jian Ning didn't want to see a corpse being burned, and besides, the smell was really unpleasant.

Seeing that the fire wasn't burning very well, he simply threw a fireball spell on one of the corpses. He did a good deed anonymously, and out of respect for Dr. Fu Mengfan, no thanks were necessary.

He smiled, then turned and left.

The sudden increase in the intensity of the fire startled everyone, and they quickly moved away.

The young soldiers who had come to gather firewood were puzzled. There wasn't much to burn, so how could the fire be so big?

Fu Mengfan had noticed Jian Ning watching the commotion from the sidelines, but he was on official duty and didn't want to go over and greet her.

After Jian Ning returned home, she went to Li Mengyao's house and reinforced all the places where insects might get in with talismans.

Make sure there are absolutely no gaps; the mutation of the insects has already begun. The effects on animals haven't been detected yet due to their larger size, but that doesn't mean they aren't happening.

Hopefully, Fu Mengfan and his team can develop a drug to deal with these insects as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if they were allowed to proliferate, the consequences would be quite severe. It would be incredibly difficult for ordinary people to live in such a harsh environment.

Jian Anping returned after a whole day, still carrying a rather large Buddha statue.

It looked quite heavy. He huffed and puffed as he climbed the stairs. Luckily, he was now at the second level of Qi Refining. Ordinary people didn't have his strength.

"Xiao Ning, look what good things I brought back for you!" She didn't want to put it down even when she got to the door, and shouted loudly through the door.

"What good stuff is it? Aren't you worried about it being heavy? Why are you carrying it?" Jian Ning couldn't help but laugh when she opened the door and saw it. What was she going to do with this silly brother?

"It's not heavy, Xiao Ning, take a look. Is this the spiritual item you wanted? I even picked out the smaller ones. I found a warehouse today. It's full of these things."

This thing is heavy and inedible, so nobody wanted it. After discussing it with them, I brought one back to show you.

"Not bad, it has plenty of spiritual energy. Brother, you can tell now, can't you?" Jian Ning quickly took it and hugged it herself. She made way for Jian Anping to come in.

"Really? Actually, I can only vaguely sense a little bit. There are quite a few of these things, some are already carved, and some are large stones. You'll come with me tomorrow, and we'll collect them all together."

"Brother, I won't go. Here, take this." Jian Ning touched her bracelet, and a storage bag appeared in her hand.

"What is this? It's so small, how much can it hold?" Jian Anping took it and looked it over with great curiosity.

"Brother, don't underestimate it. This is an eighth-grade storage bag with 126 compartments, each of which can store 1,000 items of the same type."

You said all the jade in your room wouldn't even fill one compartment of this storage bag.

"Is this the same as the bracelet you use?"

"You can put things in there, how do you use it? Why didn't you take this out sooner? I didn't come back like an idiot carrying a huge rock."

"I just didn't remember. If you hadn't looked so tired today, I wouldn't have remembered this thing at all."

Because she was so used to storing things herself, she really didn't consider that Jian Anping would also need this.

"Sure, it's not too late to remember now. How do you use it? Teach me quickly."

"It's simple. You can communicate with it using your divine sense and leave your own mark. In the future, if you want to store or retrieve something, you won't have to move it yourself."

Just remember, don't use it where there are people around.

"That's for sure. I'm not stupid. Money can move people's hearts. This thing must be priceless."

If people find out, I'll probably be arrested and interrogated about where this thing came from. Little sister, I won't cause you any trouble.

Jian Ning smiled slightly upon hearing this. She truly hadn't expected Jian Anping to value her safety above all else.

First, I taught him how to use it, and then I filled the storage bag with a lot of food, medicine and mineral water.

I can't guarantee I'll always live with them. I'll save this for later, just in case it comes in handy.

Jian Anping had no idea that his sister had secretly stuffed so many good things into his bag. Holding the storage bag in his hand, he chuckled like a child.

"Make sure you keep it safe, don't lose it. Actually, you can find it if you do lose it. This thing is quite sturdy, it won't break even if you burn it."

"That's amazing! Can I tie it to my belt with a rope? I don't feel safe putting it in my pocket. What if it falls out and I can't find it?"

"Sure, here you go. You can tie it with this rope, or even wear it around your neck. I have no problem with that."

As Jian Ning spoke, she handed him something transparent, like a rope. Jian Anping pulled hard with his hand, but he could only stretch its length; he couldn't break it at all.

"What kind of treasure is this? I've never seen one before."

"This is silkworm silk, but not the silk spun by ordinary silkworms. This is a treasure, the silk of the Tianshan Snow Silkworm."

Not only can it be used to tie things, but it can also be used as a weapon. It's already been refined, so it has many useful functions. You can explore it yourself later.

"Really? Then I'll have to make good use of it. But it's grown so much, can I cut it open with scissors?"
