Chapter 140



After following Zhao Xingguo and his group to search Wanxi Village.

Qin Suyun had a rough guess in her heart. After carefully observing the animals and plants she saw along the way and asking many people indirectly, she discovered something.

The plants and animals that were caught in the storm last night showed the greatest overall changes, while the plants and animals that stayed indoors last night and did not go out in the rain showed much smaller average changes.

Especially for the chickens and ducks raised by several families in the village, the difference between those that were exposed to the rain last night and those that were not is even greater.

The size of those mutated animals and plants is like the difference between an elementary school student and a high school student.

In fact, this was also the conclusion Qin Suyun vaguely came to this morning when she saw the changes in the size of the chickens, ducks, geese, and Dahei Heidou in the livestock shed at home, and when she saw that Dahei Heidou did not sleep in the middle of the night, opened the door by himself, and ran outside to get caught in the rain.

After searching the village and carefully observing the changes in the animals and plants in the village, Qin Suyun became more certain of her guess.

"But apart from this change, the changes visible to the naked eye are not so obvious. I don't know what kind of substances are contained in last night's rain? That would cause such big changes in these animals and plants..." Qin Suyun touched the prickly short hair on Hei Dou's back and frowned and sighed.

The most important thing is that no one knows whether the same situation will occur again when it rains in the future?

If every rain in the future contains this unknown substance that can cause animals and plants to evolve rapidly, then what will the earth look like in the future? Qin Suyun didn't dare to think about it any further.

"These animals and plants have mutated and evolved due to last night's heavy rain. I wonder if humans can also evolve and mutate due to the heavy rain." Qin Suyun narrowed her eyes. She felt that the possibility was not great, but she should find an opportunity to try it anyway.

Last night's rain was so strange. Its degree of mutation and evolution was even far greater than the effect of the jade dew condensed from the jade pendant on a normal day.

The biggest benefit is probably that the grains and vegetables planted a few days ago have grown from their seedlings into mature plants.

The corn and other crops that had only just been planted, and hadn't even sprouted yet, had all grown into towering giants four or five meters tall. The ripe corn on the stalks was as long as a grown man's arm. Three corns of corn could fill Qin Suyun's backpack when she went up the mountain! It was astonishing.

As corn relies on wind pollination to bear fruit, God knows why it can still bear fruit after such a heavy rain last night.

There are many things like this that cannot be explained by nature.

When hundreds of people in the village saw the crops in the fields that were ripe and ready to be harvested, their first reaction was that they didn't know whether these crops were still edible. Some people suggested feeding these crops to chickens and rabbits first to see if the poultry and livestock at home would have any other adverse reactions after eating them, and then decide whether to eat these mutated crops.

In just one morning, Zhao Xingguo had already smoked two large packs of cigarettes. He frowned and gathered all the people in the village to discuss what to do next in the village.

"In my opinion, we have to deal with the issues with the houses and the threshing grounds first. Many of the houses and tents in the village have been destroyed by plants. If these plants are not dealt with, many people's houses will no longer be habitable." Uncle Jiu said in a firm tone, leaning on his crutches.

Throughout Wanxi Village, there are many households experiencing similar plant invasion situations as Qin Suyun's home. Seven or eight out of ten houses have experienced the same situation as Qin Suyun's home. In milder cases, weeds grow all over the yard, while in more serious cases, the entire house is cracked by the towering trees, making it uninhabitable.

"These plants must be cleared away, otherwise we won't be able to sleep peacefully at night." A person next to him nodded in agreement. This person's house was a newly built wooden house, and last night the roof was pierced by a tall tree that rose from the ground. If the tree is not cut down today, who knows if their house will still be habitable tomorrow?

"That's right, these plants grow too fast. If we don't deal with them today, it will be even more difficult to deal with them tomorrow."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's clear out the houses that are still habitable today, and we'll all squeeze in. We'll wait and see tomorrow to see if the plants and animals outside are still growing rapidly." Zhao Xingguo nodded, agreeing with everyone's opinion, and suggested: "During this time, we can also carefully observe the plants and animals in the village to see if they are growing wildly... Although we don't seem to have any unusual signs this morning, no one can say whether there will be any changes in the afternoon. If these plants and animals continue to grow, we'll have to find another way to live... Living in the village is not safe."

The atmosphere in the crowd became a little heavy because of Zhao Xingguo's words.

Uncle Nine and the village chief had both spoken, and Zhao Zhengde, the village secretary, naturally responded. He clapped his hands, and all eyes were focused on him before he continued, "Now that the matter has been decided, let's get started!"

"There are a lot of trees and weeds in front of and in front of every house, and it is not an easy task to deal with them. So our village still emphasizes the principle of voluntariness. Everyone can discuss among themselves. Those who have no place to stay tonight can help those who have houses and can still live in them... As for the others, it all depends on everyone's voluntary principle. If someone encounters danger in the village, then just shout or whistle, and the rest of us must rush to help!" Zhao Zhengde said a few words, and when he saw that everyone in the village nodded in agreement, he went home with his son and daughter, intending to clean up all the trees and weeds that had suddenly grown in his yard.

The situation in the village is relatively good. From what we can see so far, apart from the increase in the size of animals and plants, there is no other danger.

After hearing what the village chief and secretary had to say, everyone went home to deal with the mutated plants in their homes. During this process, many people began to discuss where to stay for the night.

All these people ignored Qin Suyun.

Qin Suyun's house was the only new house built in the village last year. Although it looked gray and inconspicuous, and unlike other people's houses with many tiles on the outside of the wall, the wall of Qin Suyun's house looked very solid. There was no one who didn't envy her family's living conditions.

But when Big Black Bean stood behind Qin Suyun, the others immediately became timid and dared not get close.

They all remembered that the other party's family not only had this cat and this dog, but also eight adult sheepdogs of the same kind.

Being stared at by nine wolfhounds as tall as a man, they probably couldn't even sleep at night!

No one dared to come to her house, and Qin Suyun was relieved. The only bad thing was that the walnut tree in the yard was too big. It would probably take a day or two to clean it.

The most important thing is that the tree is so big that she can't move it by herself.

Qin Suyun narrowed her eyes. If the walnut tree could not be moved and no one could be found, then she would just pile it up at home and burn it as firewood!

Following the other villagers back home, Qin Suyun's first thing was to rummage through the boxes and drawers at home to find the electric saw she had prepared before the earthquake. Qin Suyun had several of these practical tools at home.

The walnut tree in the yard almost surrounds the entire house. In addition, the walnut tree grows very tall. If you want to cut down the walnut tree and ensure that the house and the wall are not damaged by the giant tree, you have to saw the entire walnut tree into several sections from top to bottom.

Qin Suyun checked the giant tree herself, planned where to start cutting, and then began to saw the tree.

The glass house on the third floor was built directly on the top floor, but Qin Suyun left some space around the glass house. This was also to make it more convenient to replace the glass and hang solar panels in the future.

After climbing to the third floor, Qin Suyun carefully looked over the entire glass greenhouse and saw that the crops had not changed much and their sizes were still within an acceptable range. She nodded with satisfaction.

Holding an electric saw and pushing open the door of the glass greenhouse, Qin Suyun walked calmly towards the walnut tree to deal with the messy walnut branches.

Meng Changlong woke up from the smell of food. He felt dizzy and couldn't sit up even after waking up. Instead, he lay on the ground to relieve the dizziness and discomfort all over his body.

"Wake up, wake up! Commander Meng is awake!" As soon as Meng Changlong opened his eyes, the young soldier who was taking care of Meng Changlong and Yue Junhong and other injured people immediately shouted excitedly.

The young soldier's excited voice was very low, but many other soldiers outside the house heard the shouting. Everyone smiled and went into the house to see Meng Changlong and other wounded people.

"You, you, you guys, are you all okay? Big brother, how is everyone doing..." Meng Changlong spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling, asking the soldiers about their situation after he fainted.

The young soldier's eyes were red as he excitedly shook Meng Changlong's hand and said, "Don't worry, sir. We're all fine... The spider silk spit out by those spiders only had a paralyzing effect and no other toxins. After someone rescued us, we all ran out together. So, no one in our entire team is missing! We're just waiting for you to wake up, sir, and then we'll go back to the village!"

"That's good, that's good..."

Meng Changlong was helped to his feet and given a few sips of water. His dry throat immediately felt moistened, and his voice was no longer so hoarse. Hearing that the soldiers in the camp were all fine, Meng Changlong's originally tense mood instantly brightened.

"Sir, don't worry about us. We are all grown up and can take care of ourselves." The soldiers were deeply moved by the concern.

The soldier standing at the door was pushed away, and a black figure squeezed in from the door. The other person was tall and strong, holding a rough wooden bowl in his hand.

"You're awake now, so drink some broth."
