When Madam Wei heard that it would lead to paralysis, she instantly became nervous: "Huaiyue, what should we do? These two children are still so young!"
Su Huaiyue comforted her, "Mom, don't be afraid, there may be some sea buckthorn fruits on the sea buckthorn trees in the desert.
These fruits are rich in nutrients and eating some will help relieve many of your symptoms.
We'll go look for them tomorrow. There might be a lot of them around here, don't worry."
As soon as Su Huaiyue finished speaking, she heard the system's reward voice in her mind again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the owner for discovering and preventing the disease. A basket of tomatoes as a reward!]
The next day.
Su Huaiyue found Lord Li and explained the situation. She told Lord Li in detail the severity of the disease.
And helped check the situation of those officials.
Sure enough, everyone had similar symptoms to some extent, and some were so serious that they started losing their teeth.
Su Huaiyue immediately decided to take everyone to look for sea buckthorn fruits.
Those who had previously doubted her realized that they did have these symptoms, and for a moment they had no choice but to believe it.
With the system in hand, there is nothing to fear.
Su Huaiyue secretly asked the system about the location of the sea buckthorn tree.
Then he took everyone there without hesitation.
On the way, the desert beneath their feet seemed less desolate.
From time to time, some dead grass appears under your feet, and occasionally one or two dead trees stand not far away, adding a touch of desolation and loneliness to the surrounding scenery.
As they walked deeper, Su Huaiyue found that the air around them was noticeably cooler.
The location of the sea buckthorn tree has not yet been found.
Suddenly, a corpse resembling a large carnivore appeared next to a dead tree not far ahead.
Only white bones were left on the body.
The skin and flesh have disappeared completely, as if it has been dried here for a long time.
But everything around seemed so quiet and eerie.
Soon, the sea buckthorn tree successfully found its way out in front of them.
Wei Yunrou excitedly pointed at the dead trees in front and said, "Look, what is that? There are round orange fruits on the tree. Could it be the sea buckthorn tree that my sister-in-law mentioned?"
Although the tree was withered, the orange fruits hanging on it were plump and round.
Without Su Huaiyue's approval, everyone dared not act rashly, so they all looked at Su Huaiyue, waiting for his orders.
Su Huaiyue slowly walked forward, picked up a fruit and smelled it at the tip of her nose.
Then she nodded: "Yes, this is sea buckthorn fruit. It can supplement everyone's nutrition. Pick as many as you can."
Hearing this, those who were afraid of death quickly rushed forward.
Everyone wanted to grab more, and some even fought.
In an instant, Su Huaiyue was squeezed so hard that there was no place for him to stand.
She shook her head helplessly, quietly walked aside, avoiding the noisy crowd, and took out a red tomato from the space as if taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, and ate it slowly.
For some reason, she always had a bad feeling in her heart, always feeling that something was about to happen, but she didn't know what would happen.
Even the juicy and delicious tomato tasted bland.
Su Huaiyue shook her head, signaling herself not to think too much.
Then, he sat down next to the dead tree.
Little did they know that the treetops were covered with dense swarms of ants.
That ant is different from ordinary ants. Its size is as big as some people's finger joints.
Its entire body is black, except for its tail, which is blood red.
People were still scrambling for sea buckthorn berries, each holding a cloth bag and excitedly picking the fruits.
Suddenly huge ants came into their sight.
Those people were just stunned, then stepped on it to death, and then continued to pick fruits without paying much attention.
"Why is this ant so big? It looks different from ordinary ants."
Some people stared at the ant and felt it was a little strange, but they just murmured in confusion and didn't take it seriously.
Su Huaiyue also noticed the huge ants and couldn't help but sigh that the ants in the desert were really different.
The good times didn't last long, as the ants they cared about were increasing in number by two times.
"Ah, something bit me!"
"That's right, how come this ant still has wings?"
"The number seems to be increasing compared to before..."
Su Huaiyue looked at the increasing number of ants, and her premonition became worse and worse.
"Why are there so many ants crawling and biting me? Ah! It hurts!"
An official had many ants crawling all over his body. No matter how he shook them off, they seemed to be stuck to his body.
Soon one of his fingers was eaten by ants until only bones were left.
The severe pain made him fall straight to the ground. The man struggled violently and kept shouting for help!
Everyone was frightened and panicked by this sudden change.
Something suddenly popped up in Su Huaiyue's mind - desert army ants!
One or two of these ants are fine, but when they appear in groups, they are a real black and red army.
Thousands of army ants march and run rampant in the desert. Each marching ant secretes a large amount of formic acid from its mouth, leaving a trail of white bones wherever it passes.
The situation was urgent, Su Huaiyue quickly took off his shirt and helped the person lying on the ground to pat off the ants attached to his body.
"Run back! These are desert army ants!"
Some people ran towards open areas out of the instinct of survival.
Looking back, they saw the army ants swarming towards them at a leisurely pace.
But the best opportunity to escape had been missed.
Many people had ants crawling all over their bodies and couldn't get away.
They wailed and screamed, but they could not drive away the huge number of ants.
More and more people fell down, and no matter how hard he tried to beat the ants, there would always be another wave coming up.
Suddenly Su Huaiyue took out the insecticide from the space. She couldn't care less about so many things in the emergency.
She shouted, "Everyone calm down, I have a solution."
Su Huayue took the bottle of insecticide and sprayed it at the ants on the ground.
The army ants fled in all directions under the stimulation of the smell of insecticide, and the ants that were originally overwhelming in number gradually began to flee in all directions.
Although those people were somewhat puzzled by Su Huaiyue's action, no one had ever seen the thing in her hand.
But with their lives threatened, no one bothered to question what was in her hand.
Under the strong attack of the pesticide, a gap was opened in the formation of the army ants.
Seeing this, people quickly gathered around him and began to retreat following his instructions.
Finally they had escaped from the sand occupied by army ants, the line was safe, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Huaiyue gently stroked his chest and felt his heart still beating violently. He couldn't help but be thankful for his decisive decision.
