Think about it, search and rescue is very difficult now, and there are not many people alive.
Ken will start from the nearest place, the rest of the places may not have their turn yet!"
Jiang Yuan sighed. She had thought so before, but recently she felt something was increasingly wrong.
“Having said that, have you ever thought about whether it would be nationwide?
There can’t be only these few people. I always feel that we are just a branch, not one that is taken seriously.”
"Sister Yuan, why bother with so much? We are living a good life now.
Not to mention the food and drinks, the cultural environment is quite different from what we had in Changming Manor.
Let’s enjoy the few days of peace and quiet as long as we can.”
That’s right, she didn’t worry about it anymore.
Even if something goes wrong, we can still go back to the space, right? Besides, our life is pretty stable now, so we should cherish it.
These days, Song Yi has been busy going to Half Moon Lake with Jiang Yuan.
After all the research, there was no significant result.
And that red bug seemed to be a temporary outbreak.
He never appeared again afterwards, which should be considered a good thing, but Jiang Yuan was always worried.
That day, Song Yi came back very late and didn't even have time to have dinner.
He was given a bucket of instant noodles as a reward.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening and he wanted to see Jiang Yuan.
She was so frightened that she asked squad leader Cheng to come over and call for help.
But she didn't care at all and told her to be careful.
At this time, many people will take a rest, after all, there are no entertainment activities.
There was no way Song Yi didn't know that there must be something wrong, as he came to see her in such a hurry.
Jiang Yuan didn't dare to delay, so she put on her clothes and went out.
Male and female dormitories are located on both sides of this underground base, and there are many offices and laboratories in the middle.
There is also a huge workshop-like thing, but they have never been inside and don't know what it is used for.
It's just that the place is quite big, and I pass by it sometimes.
In the very middle, there is a place similar to a hall, which is connected in all directions and can lead you everywhere.
This was also the place where the two had agreed to meet tonight.
Song Yi had arrived a long time ago, and when he saw Jiang Yuan, the corners of his mouth curled up.
I've been so busy these past two days that I actually miss you so much.
"Song Yi, what happened?"
"Don't be nervous, come here and sit down."
There is a table and two chairs here, which was previously used for registration.
There would be someone on duty here during the day, but now he has been sent away by Song Yi.
Jiang Yuan didn't understand why, but she sat down obediently.
"It's so late, I hope I didn't disturb your sleep."
She really wanted to roll her eyes. Everyone was already up, and there was no point in worrying about these things. She was speechless.
"Let's get down to business. The child is waiting for me."
"Okay, okay, it's like this. We're going to Yueban Lake in the next two days. You know about this, right?"
"Yes, did you find anything?"
"Um.
It looks like spring is almost here over there, even more like spring than the last time we went there.
When we went there today, we found that a flower bud over there was about to bloom.
There was a research institute that found it interesting and used a cotton swab to poke the flower buds.
Do you know what's in there?"
Song Yi cast a serious and earnest look at her. Jiang Yuan was so angry! "Why don't you just tell me now? Why are you keeping me in suspense?"
“I’m not trying to keep you in suspense, this is just too unbelievable.
There was actually a larva inside the petals, and its entire body was pink.
"What the hell?"
Jiang Yuan widened her eyes in disbelief. This was too scary.
"You mean, the bug is inside the bud?"
"right……"
Song Yi answered firmly, and it was obvious that he was not joking. No one would joke about such a thing.
"Oh my God, are you guys hurt?"
When she said this, she was still a little nervous and looked up and down at the person in front of her.
She herself didn't realize that she really cared about Song Yi.
"Don't worry, we're all fine.
The insect was just a larva, not very big, and the flower bud had been destroyed by humans, so the little thing wasn't that deadly, so we killed it."
Fortunately, it’s okay, Jiang Yuan patted his chest.
“But didn’t you say that the flowers over there are about to bloom?
That's not just one tree. If everything went as planned, there would probably be tens of thousands of bugs, maybe even more."
She felt a little scared when she thought of the brutality that happened that day.
This place is not far from Yueban Lake. If the larvae grow up, it may not be safe here.
“Yes, so I will probably go there and strangle those larvae tomorrow.
Jiang Yuan has already filed a report and will be out tomorrow.
There is a shortage of manpower, and it is very likely that they will be transferred from other places.”
"real?"
If that was the case, then she would also like to go and take a look.
It's not curiosity, I just feel at ease only when I see it destroyed with my own eyes.
"It's true. It depends on the specific policy tomorrow."
Song Yi didn't want her to go, but he didn't want to make Jiang Yuan unhappy, so he didn't say it.
Going out tomorrow is also voluntary, it depends on what she chooses.
“But why did that elder sister suddenly get infected by a bug?
Did she also escape from Yueban Lake, or did she come into contact with that thing through some medium?"
"I don't know about that either, but that lady works at the power supply station."
There is electricity here, which is generated by burning coal.
If this lady works there, it means it is usually very warm there.
“So, maybe the bug was already in her body.
It's just that she is often in a warm environment, so the bugs are awakened early.
Just like Yueban Lake, only when the flower buds open, will the insects grow up.
Any earlier will not work.”
Song Yi nodded. He and Jiang Yuan had come to the same conclusion.
“Oh my God, does that mean that anyone who has come into contact with her will also be in danger?
In other words, people who live in the same place as her also have this kind of worm.
It just hasn’t broken out yet, so we can’t even doubt it now.”
Song Yi sighed, Jiang Yuan’s guess was right.
"That's why I had to call you out.
We must be careful recently, because we don’t know if we have bugs in our bodies.
At the same time, always pay attention to other people around you.
If something strange really happens, you must get away quickly.
The worm will only come out when it has sucked enough, and I am afraid that the person next to it will become the second host."
