Li Jingjing: What is this?
Wang Jing: These are potato pancakes made by Mr. Zheng in my family.
Li Jingjing: ……
Zheng Ming: You have no right to speak if you haven't tried it. To be honest, the taste is alright.
Wang Jing: Barbecue flavor (auntie smile)
After chatting for a few more minutes, everyone went to rest again.
After receiving the information gathered by everyone, Xu Lin felt less worried.
Zhou Pin: The new insecticide will be sprayed tonight, and the insect traps are also in mass production, so there's no need to worry.
Zhou Pin sent a private message to Xu Lin.
Xu Lin: Okay, take good care of yourself.
Zhou Pin: I don't leave the lab except when I go home.
Xu Lin: Then don't come back.
Zhou Pin: It's late. I'm coming out of the office building now. Open the door for me in a bit.
Zhou Pin went to the office building to talk to the person in charge about signing an outsourcing contract. At first, the other party refused, and no amount of persuasion or coercion worked. In the end, they reluctantly agreed, but on the condition that Zhou Pin would guarantee to provide services to the base as soon as possible if needed. In return, the base gave Zhou Pin a satisfactory reward.
The first thing you see in the surveillance footage isn't Zhou Pin, but a group spraying insecticide. Unlike what Wang Jing said about a group of ten, this group consists of four people sitting in the back of a solar-powered electric vehicle, each carrying a sprayer and spraying insecticide without leaving any blind spots.
After the car drove past, Xu Lin found a pile of dead insects on the ground. A sweeper truck came from behind and swept the insects directly into the truck.
The car had already driven away, and Zhou Pin had returned. Xu Lin quickly dressed herself up and came out to open the door for him. As usual, she disinfected herself first, and then went into her space to take a shower.
"Didn't they say the spraying wouldn't start until tonight?" Xu Lin asked.
"We'll spray on a large scale tonight, but we'll test it out first. I'm heading home right now, so we'll spray right in front of me."
"You're doing quite well, you even have someone clearing the way for you."
“It’s Sun Wei’s uncle who got promoted. He’s now in charge of security for the entire base and he’s now Minister Sun.”
"Looks like you always need connections. By the way, now that you're back, shouldn't we arrange a private studio for you?"
"Just change the room I used to sleep in. You've put all your things away, so it'll be easier to remodel it."
"Don't you work in a physical space?"
"No need, just bring me the black tote bag I brought back."
Xu Lin then remembered that Zhou Pin had brought a black bag back with him, which she had placed on the living room floor.
"What's this?"
"This medicine is made from dead insects. Spraying it around the house will keep other insects away."
"Okay, let's go spray it on now."
Upon hearing that the medicine had this effect, Xu Lin quickly pulled Zhou Pin to spray it.
It was already noon after they finished spraying the pesticide. The two went into the space to eat. Xu Lin always felt that there were dead insects and viruses outside, so she insisted on eating, bathing, and sleeping in the space.
In the afternoon, Zhou Pin was studying the voice and video functions of the communicator, while Xu Lin was writing space planning next to her. The afternoon was peaceful and serene.
The surveillance footage showed that there were far fewer insects outside the villa, and there were no insects in the yard because of the pesticide spraying. Xu Lin decided to send some of the pesticide that Zhou Pin brought back to Li Jingjing and Wang Jing.
Zhou Pin was worried about him and insisted on going with him. Xu Lin couldn't persuade him otherwise, so they set off together.
Xu Lin went to Li Jingjing's house first, but Sun Wei wasn't there. She explained the usage to Li Jingjing and then left.
Only Wang Jing and Aunt Ning were at Zheng Ming's house. Zheng Ming only wanted to go by himself, but Old Zheng insisted on coming along, saying that he was still vigorous despite his age and that he would be spraying insecticide on the electric vehicle at night, which wouldn't be too tiring. Zheng Ming didn't stop him.
