Chapter 36 The Mysterious Insect



Spray SCZ medicated wine onto ASD-1 insects. After 30 minutes, Shen Zhijie informed Jiang Yao of the results. Seeing that the SCZ medicated wine was ineffective in killing insects, Jiang Yao handed BAIA medicated wine to Shen Zhijie.

Shen Zhijie reluctantly took the medicine and sprayed it on the ASD-1 insects again, but to no avail.

Jiang Yao sighed. She had thought that the female lead had a protagonist's halo and could develop a powerful insecticide!

Xiao Mu leaned back in his chair, watching the two's actions the whole time, and said helplessly, "These ASD-1 insects have an extremely strong ability to adapt."

"Think about it, how do you kill a species that can survive extreme cold?"

Jiang Yao looked completely bewildered.

Seeing this, Shen Zhijie quickly walked to Xiao Mu's side and looked him in the eye: "Do you know something?"

Xiao Mu looked into Shen Zhijie's eyes, gently touched his chin with his hand, and slowly said, "What do you think I should know?"

Shen Zhijie shrugged and said indifferently, "Anyway, I don't know."

Jiang Yao looked at Xiao Mu with a probing gaze. The longer she spent with Xiao Mu, the more mysterious he seemed.

Xiao Mu looked at Jiang Yao and slowly said, "Why don't you combine the two medicines together and try it for another 7 days?"

Jiang Yao thought that since she had already gone this far, she might as well give it another try, since it wasn't too much trouble anyway.

After a long seven-day wait, Jiang Yao arrived at Xiao Mu's house full of anticipation, bringing the medicinal wine with her.

Jiang Xue saw Jiang Yao enter Xiao Mu's house carrying medicinal wine, her eyes fixed on the door of Xiao Mu's house.

Her body trembled slightly, her hands clenched tightly, and she angrily thought of Jiang Yao, that fickle woman, who still gave Xiao Mu medicinal wine at a time like this.

Seeing Jiang Yao holding the medicinal wine, Xiao Mu raised an eyebrow and said, "It's ready."

Jiang Yao placed the medicinal wine on the table and poured it into the sprayer while answering Xiao Mu's question: "It's ready, but I don't know how effective it will be."

Seeing this, Shen Zhijie took the sprayer from Jiang Yao and sprayed it onto the insects on the fine wire mesh. After waiting for 20 minutes, when he looked at the wire mesh again, there were far fewer insects on it.

Seeing this, Shen Zhijie called Jiang Yao over and said, "Look, many of the insects have died."

After seeing this, Xiao Mu looked at Jiang Yao and said, "Your medicinal wine is a success."

"No, it's that we successfully developed the medicinal wine."

Xiao Mu took the medicinal wine from Shen Zhijie's hand, sniffed it lightly, and looked at Jiang Yao: "Where did you get this Chinese medicine?"

"A deworming medicine made with Chinese herbs, that's quite an idea." Xiao Mu's gaze towards Jiang Yao deepened.

When Shen Zhijie delivered the remaining medicinal wine to Shen Xi, Shen Xi was still somewhat skeptical that traditional Chinese medicine could be used to make insecticides.

Shen Zhijie said somewhat exaggeratedly, "You have to believe in the wisdom of our ancestors."

"In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs; today, hundreds of herbs can kill hundreds of insects."

Jiang Yao couldn't bear to look at Shen Zhijie's exaggerated behavior.

Shen Xi happily gave Shen Zhijie a hug: "You guys are really something, you even managed to do this."

"I will report to the military now and request the expert group's approval to begin large-scale implementation."

The pest infestation has caused widespread anxiety, with everyone fearing that they might one day become food for the insects.

Unable to go out and find supplies, the authorities had no choice but to distribute the remaining supplies.

But things are different now. Jiang Yao and the others have discovered the medicinal wine that kills the ASD-1 insects, so the problems the shelter is currently facing will soon be resolved.

Following the proportions provided by Jiang Yao, the military's expert team quickly sealed the medicinal wine, ready to begin large-scale disinfection in 15 days.

During this phase, each family was given only one bottle of water and one bag of compressed biscuits per day, and the remaining supplies would not last long.

Shen Xi looked at the dwindling supplies and was very distressed. If life inside the shelter was like this, then life outside the shelter must be even more difficult!

If someone were outside the shelter right now, they would see bones everywhere, demonstrating that without official supplies and the protection of shelters, it would be very difficult for an independent group to survive.

As supplies dwindled within the shelter, fights and robberies frequently broke out among those who were starving.

When Jiang Yao saw Jiang Sheng again, Jiang Sheng was snatching supplies from Song Yi's hands. At this time, such snatching was happening every day.

Jiang Yao noticed that Jiang Sheng was now emaciated from hunger, with sunken eyes and chapped lips, no longer the energetic second uncle he had been when he first arrived.

Jiang Sheng couldn't outmaneuver the young Song Yi and was even punched to the ground by Song Yi.

After Song Yi left, Jiang Sheng, seeing that he hadn't managed to grab any supplies, limped over to Jiang Yao. He swallowed hard as he looked at the supplies in Jiang Yao's hands and slowly said, "Jiang Yao, for the sake of our uncle-niece relationship, could you share half of what you're eating with me?"

Jiang Yao looked at her second uncle and recalled seeing Jiang Xue eating compressed biscuits at the door when she left. She couldn't believe it.

Jiang Xue actually had supplies but didn't share them with her father, Jiang Sheng.

Seeing this, Shen Zhijie stepped in front of Jiang Yao and said, "You're so hungry, why don't you ask your daughter for some food?"

"Jiang Xue doesn't look like she's starving!"

Jiang Sheng's actions are hard to understand.

Jiang Sheng thought to himself, "I can't let Jiang Yao outshine my daughter. I'm still waiting for Xiao Mu to invite me to move into that house!"

If Jiang Yao knew what Jiang Sheng was thinking at this moment, she would be shocked and unable to understand it.

Jiang Xue lives under a window crawling with insects every day, and her inner limits are about to be reached.

She was terrified that the insects would persist, and that she would be reduced to begging and robbing like Jiang Sheng because she had nothing to eat.

Jiang Yao's life is very peaceful. At home, she either looks after her vegetable seedlings or researches some dishes that don't have a strong smell.

Jiang Yao lived a very casual life, which was also the kind of life she had always dreamed of.

Unfortunately, this peaceful day was shattered on a quiet afternoon.

Shen Xi suddenly came to find Jiang Yao and the others. The shelter's supplies were almost exhausted. If the distribution ended today, everyone would go hungry tomorrow.

Shen Xi hoped that Jiang Yao and the others would help the authorities stop the riot. After all, if they held on for two more days, the military expert team would begin large-scale extermination, the insect swarm would end, and everyone would migrate towards Haizhou after the weather cleared.

Jiang Yao expressed sympathy, but there was nothing she could do. She could only promise to help the authorities appease the crowd during the riots.

But things don't always go as planned. When Jiang Xue has nothing to do, she tells the people around her that Jiang Yao's family has plenty of food and drink, hinting that everyone should keep an eye on Jiang Yao.

Jiang Xue looked at the front door of Jiang Yao's house and imagined what it would be like for her to live there in the future, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Everyone noticed that even when Jiang Yao was completely sealed off, her skin was still in such good condition, and she didn't look like she had been starving at all.

I started to believe Jiang Xue's words. Jiang Yao's family must have plenty of food, otherwise why would her skin still be so fair and white?

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Jiang Xue found Jiang Sheng and told him her purpose. She also implied to Jiang Sheng that the house, food, and drink were all theirs, and as for the others, she would just give them some food to get rid of them.
