So much vomit, ugh, it smells awful.
Jiang Wan took two steps back to distance herself from them, then took out an oxygen cylinder from her bag and slowly put on the oxygen mask.
Feeling much better after that, I asked them curiously, "What's wrong with you guys?"
Her personality was naturally aloof, and this act of showing special concern instantly sent chills down one's spine.
Fang Zhaodong couldn't help but ask, "What did you mean by what you just said?"
"Don't you know? The city's water system is down, and the drinking water is contaminated."
As she spoke, she glanced at the deep pit they had dug a few times, and then said sincerely, "This place is high up, so it won't be easy for you to dig for groundwater. You might as well just use the water from the pipes, since you can't drink it anyway!"
As soon as she finished speaking, those who had been holding back from vomiting also bent over and started vomiting violently.
Those who were already vomiting were vomiting so badly that they were practically vomiting bile.
Jiang Wan looked at them with disdain, frowned and waved her hand, "You stink! Even the oxygen masks can't block the stench. What did you all eat this morning? Why are you all suffering from stomach upset?"
After saying that, he left without stopping for a moment.
Behind her, Yu Yuan praised her with admiration: "Expert! You're amazing! You took them down in just a few words! Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"
Jiang Wan put her hands behind her back, thinking about something, and said, "Don't call me an expert, it doesn't sound nice."
"Huh? What's that called?" Yu Yuan genuinely thought that "expert" was a respectful term, and that a senior researcher like her should be very particular about her status!
"Just call me Jiang Wan." She glanced at the young man. "Keep a low profile."
"Oh! Okay!" Upon hearing her say that, Yu Yuan understood and readily gave an "OK" sign.
Jiang Wan glanced at him again, puzzled: "Haven't you drunk any water these past two days?"
Yu Yuan looked puzzled: "I drank it, what's wrong?"
He suddenly remembered what she had just said to Fang Zhaodong and the others, and his expression changed drastically. Could it be? Could what the expert said actually be true? Wasn't she just spouting nonsense to scare them?
Jiang Wan nodded at his terrified and pleading eyes and said, "It's true."
The next second, Yu Yuan bent over and vomited violently.
Jiang Wan stepped back several steps and waited until he had vomited enough before saying, "I only suspected it before, but this morning when I turned on the tap, the smell was off. You should quickly notify Cheng Zhen and have him and the leaders report this. It's not fair to treat the water supply system like this."
Fortunately, her tree hollow had enough drinking water stored in it.
Jiang Wan returned to the dormitory, where the two girls had already eaten and drunk their fill, and after their walk, they were exercising by pulling each other with resistance balls.
Seeing her return, Jiang Xiaoxin's face lit up with praise. She threw herself into her arms and asked tearfully, "Mommy, when are we going back to the city? Xiao Xuanxuan is angry, and I need to go and comfort him."
Before Jiang Wan could speak, Jiang Xiaoshu snorted, "You're my sister, you're not allowed to coax him!"
Why should his own sister appease someone who dared to bully her?!
Um?
They were loving siblings just a moment ago, how come they turned against each other in the blink of an eye?
Jiang Wan couldn't understand them, so she simply said, "We won't go back for now. We'll talk about it after Mom finishes her business here."
Why do green plants stop photosynthesizing?
After confirming that the twins were alright, she turned and went into the laboratory to analyze the samples of green plants she had brought back from Xiangcheng University the day before.
Half a day passed, and she was at a loss.
The structure of green plants, mainly the chloroplasts—the sites of photosynthesis—remains unchanged, and enzyme activity is also normal.
So what exactly caused the green plants to stop working?
Moisture? Carbon dioxide?
No, neither of these is lacking in the air.
Could it be that the temperature is too high?
However, it's not that bad. While excessively high temperatures can reduce the activity of enzymes, they certainly won't stop photosynthesis altogether!
So, where exactly did the problem lie?
Jiang Wan frowned, feeling that the answer was right in front of her, yet she couldn't seem to dispel the fog before her.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the window. Yu Yuan stood outside, pale-faced and in very poor spirits. Despite feeling dizzy, he reported to her, "Expert, the battalion commander wants you to come over."
Jiang Wan opened the door and came out, correcting him: "Call me Jiang Wan, keep it low-key."
Yu Yuan felt that the low-key expert was very approachable and grateful. He couldn't help but remind her with concern, "It's someone from the inner city camp. Expert... um, Jiang Wan, you have to be careful."
Jiang Wan thanked him, gave him a sympathetic look, and left.
Poor thing, she vomited until there was nothing left in her stomach. In this sweltering heat, she was completely exhausted, and she couldn't even drink water. It was truly miserable!
As she walked along, she noticed that everyone in the camp was in poor condition. She frowned and blamed herself for being careless. She should have spoken up later. Now that everyone was incapacitated, who would protect her and her two children if something happened?
She kept her thoughts to herself, showing no outward expression, and calmly walked to Lao Liu's office.
Old Liu stood personally outside the office. The soldiers in the inner and outer cities faced each other, staring at each other, an invisible standoff. But if you looked closely, you could see that the soldiers in their own camp were really weak!
Jiang Wan couldn't bear to watch, and felt regret once again.
"Comrade Jiang Wan, we meet again." Yu Tongguang approached with a smile and greeted her.
Jiang Wan nodded slightly: "You've arrived."
The tone was like a host addressing a guest, no, more like a superior addressing a subordinate.
Old Liu and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Tongguang paused for a moment, then continued to speak to her with a smile: "Our inner city camp knows that you have been wronged here, so our battalion commander specially assigned me to pick up the expert and bring him back to the city."
He then gestured for them to come forward, saying, "We've arranged everything. Comrade Jiang Wan, just come with us without worry."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan and the others immediately became anxious. The brats in the inner city camp were infuriating; they were trying to steal people from their territory!
They were all fully armed and on high alert, ready to be driven out of the camp at a single command.
Jiang Wan hummed in agreement and said as she walked forward, "You're very kind."
After walking up to Old Liu and stopping, he turned around and asked, "Since you know that I'm in difficult conditions here, why didn't you bring anything as a token of your appreciation?"
Yu Tongguang felt he couldn't keep up with her train of thought, so he suppressed a laugh and repeated, "Our battalion commander assigned me to invite experts..."
“I didn’t agree to go with you.” Jiang Wan interrupted him directly. “Please thank your battalion commander for me, but I’m not going.”
“The conditions here are indeed harsh. Since your battalion commander is so kind, please send some drinking water over. Bottled mineral water or spring water is fine. The tap water tastes too strong for me to drink.”
