Chapter 574 Disqualified
The woman said lightly, "What a pity. You brought this upon yourself. Team Leader Zhang, just report the truth. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble if they hold you accountable." She obviously regarded Wu Cheng and him as abandoned pawns and started her new plan.
Zhang Xian gritted his teeth and decided to cancel Wucheng's qualification to participate in the competition and shirk responsibility. They couldn't contact anyone there!
The notice soon appeared on the big data page. On the list of 31 provincial pharmaceutical associations, the four red words "cancellation of participation" were clearly written after the Wucheng Pharmaceutical Association. Although it was silent and no one even paid attention, the management of Wucheng was in an uproar. Lao Zhou's phone started ringing frantically, and it even alarmed the person in power, Jin Tianci.
The Wucheng Pharmaceutical Association was disqualified from participating in the competition, and its resources for the next year were gone, including the latest new energy sources it had developed!
For a time, there was an uproar everywhere.
Jingshu naturally didn't know all this because she was busy, really busy.
…
"I hope this last stop won't disappoint me." Jingshu sighed. She didn't have much time left.
"Miss Jing, this is one of the funeral management offices. Thousands of bodies are brought in every day for processing. Those who died of natural causes... need to be taken in for secondary development. Next door is the crematorium... Those who died of unnatural causes are cremated on site."
Song Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead, very puzzled. He thought that being able to get help from the Jun family must be at least a difficult task. Even Jun Bao, the smiling tiger in the imperial capital, had said that he would help this young lady with whatever she needed. So this young lady just came to see the funeral management office?
What's so good about a dead person?
Oh, that’s not all. Miss Jingshu’s behavior these past two days has really left him puzzled.
They were clearly here to participate in the Pharmaceutical Association competition, which was said to be related to the resources of various places. However, Miss Jingshu tricked the pharmacists into staying in a deserted place and forbade them to go anywhere. I heard that they also implemented closed management, and it was obvious that she didn't want anyone to report the situation.
The competition is about to start, but she doesn't want to participate. What is she thinking?
By the way, this girl first investigated various data from major pharmaceutical associations. This little thing is nothing, and it is not a secret. The Jun family will be able to get it quickly.
Then he asked for a list of all the medicinal materials that the local pharmaceutical associations brought to the competition. This was not a secret. There had been registration records since the beginning, and he understood this as well. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.
Song Bin still remembers that when Miss Jingshu heard the news from the Jun family that the reason for holding this pharmaceutical association competition was to integrate all top resources to find an antidote to this parasitic infection, Miss Jingshu's eyes lit up.
Why are your eyes so bright? Do you have an antidote? The research institute has been working on it for so long, only making a little progress. How can you have an antidote as soon as you show up?
But leaving this matter aside, when Miss Jingshu investigated further, her face darkened, sullen and gloomy, and the coldness emanating from her body made Song Bin feel like he was having difficulty breathing. What was going on? Why was she so angry?
But then I became confused. I read grain storage reports from various places, went to the botanical garden in the capital, the Ministry of Agriculture, even went to the farms and visited the grain storage warehouses, but I became even more embarrassed.
Is this person here for tourism? Or is she on an incognito tour? What exactly is she up to? Could she be a thief looking to scout the area? Thinking of this, Song Bin became a little cautious.
Jingshu frowned slightly, "Let's go to the crematorium to see those who died abnormally."
Bah, thieves won’t come to steal the corpse.
Jingshu looked around as she spoke. It was obviously her first time in such a place. It was already the fourth year of the apocalypse, and China was still collecting and destroying corpses in such an orderly manner. Not leaving the parasitic corpses there was the reason why no major disaster occurred. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine what would erupt in the future.
"Huh?" Song Bin's face paled. "I heard this kind of parasite will crawl out and infest a second time."
Jingshu rolled her eyes: "Have you ever eaten red nematodes before?"
Song Bin's face turned even paler, and he shook his head vigorously: "I've never eaten it."
"That's fine. According to my research in the past few days, I haven't eaten
Everything will be fine." Jingshu impatiently went ahead.
"Ah, ah? But but... Ouch! Wait for me, this is a damn place... At least wear a protective suit! Wait for me, you can't get in without me!"
…
Jingshu and her companion, wearing protective clothing, came to the huge crematorium. It was very busy here with people coming and going, and fresh corpses were constantly being transported in.
It's warm here, and the constantly burning corpses provide good heat and light. Occasionally, you can hear crackling sounds. I heard that this is the sound of burning oil, which is normal.
Uncle Wang is the director of the crematorium responsible for the cremation.
"Hey, there are only a few hundred every day, and sometimes there are one or two thousand. It's normal. The death rate is not much higher. Before the apocalypse, based on the base of tens of millions in the imperial capital, there were also thousands of people dying every day, and they had to be burned. After the apocalypse, the authorities did not allow burning. It was only recently that it was resumed. Otherwise, I would have no work to do." Uncle Wang sniffed a cigarette with fascination, and naturally said whatever he wanted.
Speaking of this, he was still a little relieved: "I heard that being infected by parasites is very troublesome. If it is not burned, there will be a more serious plague. This parasite is not contagious to those who have not eaten red nematodes, so you can rest assured." Otherwise, he would not dare to come.
Jingshu was silent for a while. Even if she could do some things over again, she would still not be prepared enough. In her previous life, she was not at a high enough level, so naturally she could not see anything.
Some time ago, Jin Tianci's document said that there were only thousands of people infected by parasites in the south, and this was also written in the big data. However, she didn't know how many there were in reality until she came to the imperial capital. She only truly understood it after she arrived at the crematorium.
Jingshu was still too naive. If the base number was only a few thousand, why would the imperial capital suddenly announce the competition and concentrate all top-notch medicinal materials and resources to solve this matter? It must have reached a serious level, but it couldn't be made public to cause panic.
"I want to take a closer look at these bodies, is that okay?"
Grandpa Wang waved his hand and led Jingshu and the others to a row of corpses waiting to be cremated. He said, "There's nothing to see. These people don't even know they're infested by parasites. The ones you see are asymptomatic. Only some with symptoms realize something's wrong and seek medical attention, but there's nothing they can do. The pain is excruciating... Well, if it's their brains being eaten, it's not so bad. They'll slowly forget who they are and forget the pain. But if it's their intestines being eaten, it's terrible. They'll be in pain for ten days or more."
Song Bin's lips trembled. Oh my god, are parasites so scary? No one has ever told him about it.
On the other hand, Jingshu, wearing rubber gloves, has begun a detailed autopsy.
