"The blood belonged to someone else. We collected half of it at the port, and then another group came. You'd think we could just collect our own, but they insisted on stealing from us. How could we tolerate that? We got into a fight. And let me tell you, their skills were just so-so..."
"Shut up, Zheng Ming! Who just said they twisted their wrist and asked me to massage it?" Wang Jing directly exposed Zheng Ming's lie.
"It's good that you're all alright. By the way, we're leaving the day after tomorrow, so we'd like to say goodbye."
"So sudden!"
"It wasn't sudden. We had planned to go to the base after the flood receded. The houses here are all cracked, and it's too dangerous to live here. You should make plans as soon as possible."
"Are you going to the Beijing base?" Miss Dai asked.
"right."
"Can I come with you? Don't worry, I have a car. Just let me drive behind you. I have two boxes of anti-inflammatory medicine here, consider it for travel expenses." Dr. Dai's family is from Beijing, and now that the floodwaters have receded, she definitely wants to go home.
"Okay, we'll call you before we leave. Prepare some food for the journey in the next couple of days." Xu Lin accepted the anti-inflammatory medicine.
“We’re going to Nanshi, let’s go with you! We don’t have much, but here’s a can of gasoline for you, we collected quite a bit yesterday.” Wang Jing and Zheng Minggang discussed it and decided to go with Xu Lin and the others.
"Can."
After exchanging a few words, the group went home. The reason they decided to set off the night after tomorrow was that they wanted to plant all the seeds in the space beforehand, as it would be inconvenient on the road. They could harvest the seeds once they arrived at the base.
Just as the two were about to enter the space, they heard a scream from downstairs—it was Wang Jing's voice. When they arrived at the door of 702, they saw many rats on the living room floor, a sight that gave Xu Lin goosebumps.
"How come there are so many rats? Good heavens!" The person on the other side, 701, came out when they heard the noise.
"It must be because the weather is getting warmer that snakes, insects, and rodents are coming out. Didn't you seal off the sewers? How come there are still rats?"
"There's a drain in the bathroom that wasn't sealed off for easier drainage, but I've been keeping it blocked with bricks."
"If bricks are effective, why would we need to seal it with cement? Go and seal it up! I have a few rat traps here, I'll get them for you in a bit." Xu Lin returned to the eighth floor, retrieved the rat traps from her spatial storage, and handed them to Zheng Ming.
"Everyone go home and check your drains for any problems. If there are any, seal them up immediately."
Xu Lin and Zhou Pin also went home for a check-up.
"Oh no! There's a snake in our kitchen!"
"We have one at home too!"
"I have mice in my house!"
The door wasn't closed, and they heard rats and snakes getting into every house. Xu Lin and Zhou Pin, on the other hand, had sealed the doors with cement early on and several layers of it, and were disinfecting them every day so far, so they weren't having any problems.
“The houses downstairs are unoccupied, and the sewers aren’t sealed off, so the virus must have entered from downstairs or through the outside staircase. In any case, we need to get rid of it quickly,” Zhou Pin said.
Xu Lin found rat and snake extermination medicine in her spatial storage and distributed it to several families downstairs. She also let the dog out to catch rats, as catching rats with a dog is no longer considered meddling in other people's business.
Xu Lin sprinkled a lot of realgar powder at the stairwell and in rooms 801 and 802, just in case the snakes, insects, and rodents crawled up.
"When I came back this morning, I saw people catching snakes on the road. What were they doing catching snakes?" Zheng Ming was a little confused.
"Let's eat meat," Xu Lin said.
"Huh~" Wang Jing rubbed her arms
"We were lucky to find supplies. Not everyone can find food. Snake meat is meat too."
"Xu Lin, have you ever eaten snake meat?"
