Chapter 48 Early Arrival
"Maybe we are not reading the same one?" Jiang Rong pretended to be confused in response to Qinglan's question.
It is not surprising that there are more than a dozen versions of something on the Internet.
After hearing this, Qinglan did not ask any further questions.
"We can catch one and try it first." Jiang Rong suggested.
"Yes, that would be great if it could really cure corrosion," Wu Hui agreed.
Jiang Rong nodded after hearing this, then reached into his backpack and fumbled out a pair of scissors. He walked directly to the cross section of the snow and with quick, sharp and accurate movements, he stabbed a crystal white insect out of it.
The whole process has almost no impact on other snow locusts in the snow.
After Jiang Rong succeeded, she took out a glass test tube from her backpack. This was originally used to hold a sample of the nutrient solution. It was a small sample given when she bought the nutrient solution before, but the nutrient solution inside had already been used up by her.
Jiang Rong pried open the stopper of the test tube with one hand, threw the snow locust pierced by the scissors in, and then put the stopper back in.
After about five minutes of madness, the worms in the test tube had turned into a pool of transparent liquid.
At this time, Chen Ru, Li Tao, Wu Hui and those psychics who were slightly injured had basically gathered around, staring closely at the test tube in Jiang Rong's hand.
"It's amazing! Is this bug made of ice? It can actually melt." Some people in the crowd sighed softly when they saw the snow locust in the test tube slowly turning into water.
"Okay, is there anyone willing to try?" Jiang Rong asked with a faint expression, looking at the people surrounding him.
Because of her purification ability, Jiang Rong and Uncle Zhao had no signs of corrosion on their bodies, so she couldn't do the experiment at the moment and could only ask other people present.
Generally speaking, ordinary psychics can resist the corrosiveness in the air to a certain extent, and the higher the level of the psychic, the stronger the resistance.
But now, when most people are still at the first level, it is almost impossible for these people to be completely uncorrupted by the air. At most, their situation will be much better than that of ordinary people.
"I'll do it."
After Jiang Rong asked, someone responded soon. Jiang Rong took a look and saw that it was a middle-aged man, not tall, with dark skin, and some stubble on his chin. He looked like a simple and honest uncle.
She looked at him for a while and felt that he looked familiar.
"Uncle Chen, you are so brave. What if the corpse water of this thing is useless against the corrosion and has other harmful effects? You'd better be careful."
After the uncle agreed, he wanted to walk out of the crowd, but the next second his young teammate grabbed his arm.
"It's okay. I have to try it. If it really works, your aunt's injuries can be cured. Even if it is dangerous, I have to try it." Chen Huangzong stretched out his hand and brushed away the young teammate's hand without question. His somewhat vicissitudes of life face showed a firm and helpless expression.
As the old man and the young man were talking, Jiang Rong remembered this man.
She didn't remember his specific name, but she had the impression that this uncle, surnamed Chen, lost all his family members in an accident when he was young. When he got older, he couldn't marry because of poverty. Later, he was introduced to a pretty and silly girl from the next village and married her.
These two people each have their own shortcomings, but neither of them despises the other. Later, they adopted a child, who should be about the same age as Jiang Suan now.
"Xiao Jiang, let me try it." Chen Huangzong walked a few steps towards Jiang Rong, then reached out and lifted the clothes on his arm, revealing a piece of skin covered with red marks.
It's not broken, but it's a little red and swollen, and it doesn't look very comfortable.
Jiang Rong nodded and said nothing.
He immediately pried open the stopper and dripped a few drops of transparent liquid from the test tube onto Uncle Chen's red and swollen skin.
"What do you feel?"
After a while, Jiang Rong asked with concern.
“It feels cool.”
After a few more minutes, the redness and swelling on Chen Huangzong's hands really gradually disappeared, and he looked as good as new.
"It really works!" Chen Huangzong looked at his recovered arm with surprise in his eyes.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and then looked at the thick snow in front of them with excited eyes, these are all treasures!
"We have to find a way to catch all of them." Qinglan was feeling a little excited as she looked at the white bugs crawling around under the snow.
Wu Hui and others nodded in agreement.
"But how do we catch them? It's okay if there are only one or two of these bugs, but when there are too many of them, one can cut a person and make him bleed all over." The most seriously injured psychic in the crowd said truthfully.
Then the surroundings were quiet for a while. It seemed that everyone was racking their brains to think about how to get these precious insects back home safely.
"I just tried it. If the speed is fast enough, the bugs don't seem to react to the loss of a snow locust."
"So maybe everyone was attacked before because they felt the heat?"
To be honest, Jiang Rong felt that the thick snow on the ground was not only a shelter for these snow locusts, but also a prison that imprisoned them.
Unless they clearly feel the threat of death, such as being attacked by fire, it seems difficult for them to leave the snow on their own initiative.
Based on Jiang Rong's understanding of mutant beasts, if it were other mutant beasts, they would have come out to "eat a feast" since these injured people were so close to them.
How could they just stay there so quietly, as if the fresh blood had no appeal to them at all?
"What you mean? As long as we don't use fire, these things can be caught directly?!" Qinglan's eyes gradually brightened.
The others were also surprised and happy when they heard this.
Jiang Rong shook his head.
"I'm not sure, you can try it." She certainly wouldn't make any guarantees, these were just her guesses.
"Then let's give it a try. Anyway, as long as I run fast, they can't kill me." Qinglan looked eager to try.
"Brother Wu, let me try." Qinglan turned and asked Wu Hui.
"Go ahead, and be careful." Wu Hui nodded.
Although Jiang Rong didn't dare to guarantee his conclusion, he was basically certain of it in his heart.
She did not stay where she was at this moment, but reached into her backpack and took out a larger glass bottle with a capacity of about 500 ml and a bottle mouth diameter of only 2.5 cm.
While she was experimenting with Qinglan.
He bit his fingertip, dripped a drop of blood into the glass bottle, and then plunged it into the snow more than a meter deep. The mouth of the bottle was buried in the snow, and the belly of the bottle was exposed.
In a moment.
The bottle's belly was filled with crystal white insects swarming in at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qinglan, who was still using pliers to catch insects on the other side, also noticed Jiang Rong's actions.
The sound of exclamation that she was about to exclaim suddenly stopped. She didn't have a suitable container to put it in. So she immediately jumped and returned to Wu Hui's side.
She didn't need to say anything at this point, as everyone else saw Jiang Rong's actions. Everyone was jealous of the bottle full of snow locusts that Jiang Rong had.
Jiang Rong waited quietly for a while, then pulled out the glass bottle and quickly put the lid on it.
At this time, the glass bottle was full of snow locusts, and these things were still trying hard to drill into the bottom of the bottle.
The drop of blood that Jiang Rong had dropped earlier had now frozen into ice, firmly attached to the bottom of the bottle, and was slowly being consumed by the sharp mouthparts of the snow locusts.
Jiang Rong stopped after collecting one bottle.
Otherwise, it would obviously attract hatred.
"Everyone, go back and find tools. As long as you don't attack them with boiling water or fire, they should be fine."
After Jiang Rong finished speaking, he didn't wait for other people's reactions and immediately pulled Uncle Zhao back.
"Don't just stand there, the two of you. If you're too late, those snow locusts will be caught by others." Jiang Rong reminded Chen Ru and Li Tao behind him as he walked.
After Jiang Rong's reminder, they saw a group of people running home at the top of their lungs on the path in the village.
The other people in the village looked confused.
Qinglan, who was a speed-type mutant, was of course the fastest. Not long after, she was seen carrying four mineral water buckets to the previous path. She followed Jiang Rong's previous method and began to collect snow locusts.
These snow locusts are considered as supplies from outside the village. After collecting them, the psychics only need to hand over 30% of them, and the rest can be theirs.
So now whoever collects more will be able to hoard more in the future.
Jiang Rong's home was the farthest away, but fortunately there was a girl named Cai'er who had wings at home. Cai'er broke through the first-level lower level and entered the first-level intermediate level several days earlier than Jiang Rong.
She was now able to control her second pair of wings and fly.
Although he was not yet proficient, after practicing moving supplies in the past few days, flying with a few empty buckets was no problem for him now.
According to Jiang Rong's instructions, Zhao Caier took four of the largest empty buckets and flew all the way to the village entrance where Jiang Rong mentioned, and then slowly landed.
At this time, there were already three or two people nearby collecting the crystal white locusts in the snow.
The quick ones have already collected a large bucket.
Seeing this, she didn't dare to delay.
He immediately took out a test tube of blood, dropped a few drops into an empty bucket, and then turned the bucket, which could be filled with 38 kilograms of water at a time, horizontally on the ground and plunged it straight into the snow pile.
Then the snow in front of her collapsed and emptied at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the bucket was filled with crystal white bugs.
The speed is very fast.
At this moment, Jiang Rong was riding his own pedal tricycle, hurrying towards the village entrance, with four empty buckets on the tricycle.
Uncle Zhao and Xin Jue behind the car were not idle either, each taking four.
So there are 16 barrels in total.
It sounds like a bit much.
But there weren't many, compared to the other people who came out of the village...
Some families have more than a dozen people. How do the four of them compare with others?
And at this time, every family has stockpiled some bottled purified water. There is no shortage of barrels.
For a moment, the entrance to the village was blocked by people, including those with special abilities and ordinary people.
Some ordinary people may not have a person with special abilities in their families, but those who have good connections will notify them. If they come out now, they are also fighting for the future of themselves and their families.
Otherwise, if we only rely on public relief supplies in the village, who knows how long it will last?
Besides, with so many people with special abilities around, it shouldn't be too dangerous.
Even if it's dangerous, you have to give it a try!
Jiang Rong arrived relatively early on his tricycle.
By the time she arrived, Cai'er had already put away three of the four buckets.
Seeing this, Jiang Rong gave him a thumbs up with a smile on his face.
