Watching their brother's body being cremated was a painful experience for everyone.
"Fifth Uncle, once these insects hatch, the entire Wancheng, and even the whole country, will be doomed."
Qin Su stared at the writhing insect eggs and said in a trembling voice.
These insects are extremely dangerous, posing a much greater threat than the mutated insects of the previous life.
Even though they're just eggs, they can kill people in minutes. Once they hatch, they'll be even more poisonous.
What's even more terrifying is that there are so many of these insects.
She was certain that the insects inside the eggs were neither ants nor beetles.
In other words, her previous guess was correct. There are probably many mutated insect eggs in Wancheng, and these eggs will burst one after another. At that time, the entire Wancheng will be the domain of mutated insects.
"Then let's plant explosives and blow them all up. But if we blow this place up, it will take a long time to clear the passage. If there are other mutated insect eggs inside, we might not be able to stop them before they hatch."
Fifth Uncle felt a chill run down his spine. If there really were so many mutated insects, then the environment they would face next would likely be even more dangerous.
"No matter what, let's deal with these insect eggs first."
These are all poisonous insects, and the harm they would cause if they hatched would be too great. Qin Su dared not take any chances.
The brothers worked quickly, and within ten minutes, all the explosive charges were planted.
At this point, the insect eggs have begun to wriggle more, and some eggs have even had holes bitten out by the insects inside, about to emerge.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
With the explosion, the insect eggs shattered, and the underground city was filled with a foul odor.
"This smell is poisonous, you should all go out first."
Qin Su covered her nose and went forward. Only after seeing that the insect eggs were completely gone did she come out of the underground city.
"Cough cough cough..."
After the insect eggs exploded, the air contained toxins. Even though Qin Su had given them antidote pills beforehand, they still suffered from tracheitis due to the fumes.
"Fifth Uncle, the poisonous gas inside needs time to dissipate. We need to let it air out for a while before we start digging and cleaning."
"good."
Fifth Uncle looked worried. After working for so many days, he thought the excavation of the underground city had made great progress, but he never expected to be back to square one.
"I wonder how your other uncles are doing, especially your second and third uncles. Why haven't they arrived in Wancheng yet?"
The world is full of changes, and communication devices are not available, so Qin Su couldn't guess what their situation was.
But my uncles are smart, so nothing should happen to them.
"Fifth Uncle, don't worry. Once things are settled in Wancheng, I'll send people to search the surrounding cities."
Fifth Uncle nodded; this was the only option for now.
"Su Su, I have a feeling that the mutated insect issue is not over yet. We need to be even more careful from now on."
Qin Su naturally sent people out to check, but these insects were all in the soil and were difficult to find.
Fortunately, at this time, the survivors of Wancheng came out.
For several days in a row, almost everyone in Wancheng was digging.
Soon, many more insect eggs were found and destroyed, but there were too many eggs. For several days in a row, someone found insect eggs every day.
Qin Su knew that if they continued digging like this, it would be impossible to completely eliminate all the insect eggs.
She went into the laboratory and began developing pills to repel and kill insects.
Xie Erxun hadn't come out for several days. This time, with such a big incident, he wanted to do his part, so he followed Qin Su every day.
"Master, these insects are all naturally mutated. Do you think there are any people in this world who have started to mutate?"
Qin Su paused, holding the test tube. "Of course."
In my past life, many people mutated. At that time, there were mutated humans, zombies, mutated plants, and mutated animals in this world.
Various species compete for the few remaining resources in the apocalypse, and often even kill each other.
That was the most chaotic time on the entire planet Earth, and it was also the time of her death.
Even though the apocalypse had already begun, she still felt that the zombie outbreak was still a long way off, but now it seems that it's all just around the corner.
“Master, I’m talking about people with normal mutations.”
Xie Erxun thought that Qin Su's straightforward answer was because she thought of the people who had been artificially mutated before.
"I know."
Who could know better than her? Because back then, she had also undergone a mutation. After the mutation, she gained wood-type abilities. With wood-type abilities, her medical skills improved even further, which is why she was exceptionally admitted to the National Research Laboratory.
"Master, why do I feel like you've experienced all of these things?"
Xie Erxun looked at Qin Su and asked, puzzled.
"Um."
Xie Erxun and she were a community of life, and she would never betray him, so she directly told him about their past life.
"Master, if that scumbag and his wife were still alive, I would definitely kill them for you."
Xie Erxun finally understood why his master was often in a bad mood; it turned out she was hiding so much pain in her heart.
"I actually hope they live to see the zombie outbreak."
Qin Su said coldly, "I will make them pay the same price!"
Being bitten by zombies was so painful that it became an obsession for her.
What she's most looking forward to now is that the two of them survive until the zombies appear.
"Alright, whatever price the master wants them to pay, then they shall pay that price."
Xie Erxun completely obeyed Qin Su.
As she spoke, Qin Su's hands didn't stop moving, and soon she had a bottle of reagent in her hand.
"It's finally done."
With a sigh of relief, Qin Su continued, "Wancheng is quite large; one bottle of potion isn't enough."
Xie Erxun immediately helped, and the two of them worked together much faster.
"Oh no! Bugs! So many bugs are flying in!"
Suddenly, shouts came from outside. Qin Su went to the window and saw a dark mass of insects.
These insects seem to be able to smell people, and they all run towards places with lots of people.
Fortunately, Qin Su had instructed them beforehand that if insects appeared, they should immediately go inside, close the doors and windows, and seal off all openings.
Thump thump thump...
The insects kept bumping against the glass window, and everyone could clearly see their bodies.
These mutated insects became harder and seemed to become smarter.
Qin Su's heart sank deeper and deeper. It was too fast; the mutation was happening too quickly.
In its previous life, the insect took three whole months from the beginning of its mutation to the point where it gained intelligence.
But now, from the very beginning, these insects have intelligence.
What will these insects develop into next?
No, we must eliminate all of these insects immediately before they evolve.
Qin Su mixed the freshly prepared medicine with water and used the steel screen window she had left behind to spray the medicine outside.
Sure enough, these insects were much more dangerous than the ones in the municipal area. This time, the medicine was much more toxic than before, but it still couldn't kill them immediately.
The concentration of the pesticide was increased again to kill the insects quickly.
But the medicine they had certainly wouldn't be able to kill the insects in Wancheng.
Qin Su and Xie Erxun continued working, while Huo Sijin led his brothers out to kill pests.
