Chapter 132 Family Vacation (3)
Xiao He didn't know much about bright creatures, but Jiang Ye knew a little.
Bright Biopharma is one of the top companies in the world. Starting from the biochemical industry, it has continued to grow and develop over the decades. Now it has entered various fields, with abundant financial resources and huge industries.
Eight years ago, the international community promulgated relevant regulations to strengthen ecological and environmental protection, and many biochemical companies that exceeded pollution standards were severely rectified.
Before the regulations were promulgated, Guangming Bio seemed to have received the news in advance and took the initiative to move its laboratory away from densely populated cities, claiming that it did so to protect the environment and reduce pollution.
Then, they spent a huge amount of money to move the laboratory to the uninhabited island.
In several subsequent surveys, various environmental indicators around the laboratory met the standards perfectly, with almost no waste emissions. It truly achieved high income and zero pollution, and has been widely praised.
The outside world has been speculating about how much money Guangming Bio has spent on waste treatment to achieve such good results.
Now it seems that Xiao He feels that they may not have spent much money. The most they spent was putting a long pipe in the sea. With just a switch, they could directly discharge the laboratory wastewater into Shengwu Island.
Shengwu Island is a private island and outsiders are not allowed to enter. As long as you don't go to the island, you won't be able to discover the problems.
Until the right to use this place was bought by that idiot General Manager...
It now seems that the deterioration of Shengwu Island's environment is definitely related to these polluting emissions. The entire island's ecology has been affected, the grass and trees have died, and over time, even the animals living here have undergone mutations.
For example, the fish that Zhong Zichuan caught in the morning and the strange hamster that ran into the kitchen and ate voraciously were both products of contamination.
The pipes buried in the sea continued to discharge sewage, and it took more than half an hour before it finally stopped.
Xiao He looked at the small island across the sea and said, "Let's go back. We'll go take a look across there this afternoon."
"What about the food?" Jiang Ye asked.
They came out this time to find food, and the refrigerator in the villa is empty.
Upon hearing this, Xiao He reached into the space and took out two bags of rice. He then took out some vegetables and meat and carried them back.
Those who know think he is looking for food to survive in the wild, while those who don’t think he just came back from the supermarket.
Looking at so many things, Jiang Ye was a little worried.
"If I take these back, will they be suspicious?"
"Don't worry, I'll just make up an excuse and get away with it."
Xiao He is very experienced in this area.
Hearing this, Jiang Ye nodded, carrying his things and walked back with her.
When we returned to the villa, everyone else had already returned, but they all came empty-handed, obviously without any gain.
When Xiao He and Jiang Ye walked in with two large boxes of food, many people were stunned.
When they set out together before, there was no supplies on the yacht, but looking at the vegetables in Jiang Ye's hands, they were fresh, crisp and tender, with crystal clear water droplets hanging on them, as if they had just been picked from the ground.
"You found all these on the island?!"
Xiao He nodded without changing his expression.
"Found some wild vegetables."
Zhong Zichuan widened his eyes.
As an expert in survival in the wild, it's really unbelievable that wild vegetables can grow like this.
A few people rummaged through the box again and pulled out ten pounds of pork belly, which even had a quarantine stamp clearly stamped on it.
"Captain, this..."
Xiao He: "I'm lucky today. I found wild pork belly on the island."
“…”
Everyone fell silent again. They wanted to refute, but they were met with Xiao He's unusually determined gaze, and were speechless for a moment.
At this time, Song Feiguang silently took out a ten-kilogram bag of rice from the box.
"What about this?"
Xiao He was as steady as a rock, not panicking at all: "Wild packaged rice."
“…”
Everyone was instantly shocked by this answer.
Jiang Ye thought that Xiao He's reason might be a bit perfunctory, but he didn't expect it to be so perfunctory.
"Captain, have you been treating us like fools?" Xu Yizhou asked sincerely.
Xiao He was a little surprised: "You finally found it?"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly felt uneasy.
Although the origin of these things was a mystery, everyone was so hungry that they didn't care too much and immediately started cooking.
After dinner, Xiao He told about what he had discovered on the back of the island today.
Everyone was furious and couldn't believe it.
"Is it the wastewater discharged from the laboratory that polluted this island?"
"This isn't just pollution, is it? Look at what happened to that hamster this morning."
"Guangming Biotechnology has always claimed to be a zero-pollution enterprise and a member of a green environmental protection organization. I never thought they would do such a thing behind the scenes!"
Today they explored deeper into the island and saw that the once lush forests had withered, the clear streams had dried up, and the corpses of some small animals were lying on the ground.
Thinking of the devastated scenes, they stood up angrily, wishing they could rush out and settle the score with the light creatures right away.
Xiao He stopped them and said, "What can you do if you rush over now?"
Huo An clenched his fists.
"Smash their lab!"
"Guangming Biotechnology has countless laboratories around the world. Can you destroy so many of them? If that happens, we will be in the wrong."
If this were the end of the world, Xiao He would be the first to rush over and smash it, but this world is different, there are more solutions.
Hearing this, everyone had to calm down.
Xiao He said, "Everyone go back and rest, and go again tomorrow morning."
——
At night, Rising Mist Island is just like its name, it looks like it is shrouded in a cloud of fog that even the moonlight cannot penetrate.
Except for this villa, the surroundings were pitch black and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Xiaoguai stood by the window, staring at the darkness, his black bean-like eyes searching for something inside.
The vegetation was sparse, and the few scattered trees could not provide any cover. In the darkness, a flash of white quickly passed by and then disappeared. Xiaoguai suddenly became anxious.
It began to walk back and forth, and finally made up its mind to come to Xiao He, straightened its body slightly, and gestured anxiously with its two little paws.
Xiao He looked at him for a while and said, "Do you want to eat something?"
The hamster nodded.
Xiao He casually took out a plate of nuts from the space.
Xiaoguai gestured for a while.
"You want me to take out all the nuts you've stored?"
Xiao He was a little surprised.
Xiaoguai likes to hoard things just like her, and he always puts away the nuts he picks up.
Now the nuts in Xiao He's space have piled up into a small mountain. Every one of them is a treasure left after continuous screening. Both the quality and taste are top-notch.
Normally, it likes to sleep and roll around on it. It only takes out a small plate when it wants to eat snacks. Even Xiao He has to discuss with it for a while before it can take it out to eat.
Now, it has to take them all out, and I don’t know what it is going to do with them.
As Xiao He thought about it, he raised his hand slightly, took out all the nuts in the space, and piled them into a small hill on the floor.
Xiaoguai immediately ran over happily, rolled on it, then reluctantly shook out a piece of cloth, put all the nuts in it, and then carried it on his back.
As the night wind blew, it jumped directly out of the window and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Xiao He was a little confused and looked in the direction the hamster left.
Her eyesight was pretty good. After looking for a while, she suddenly saw a flash of white in the darkness and instantly realized what was going on.
sigh.
She finally understood how it felt when the pigs she raised started to dig up cabbages.
It was probably because she said in the afternoon that the strange hamster broke into the villa because it couldn't find food and was hungry, so Xiaoguai remembered it.
Young people in love must of course seize the opportunity to show their love. They usually spend a lot of money even when eating nuts, but now they are giving away all their family fortunes in one go.
She finally understood what Brother Jian had felt back then.
Xiao He sighed and watched for a while. The night wind blew towards her, mixed with a pungent smell. In a trance, she felt as if she had returned to the end of the world.
There, the air was filled with the same stench, exactly the same as it is now, strikingly similar.
Xiao He frowned, and memories that had not been recalled for a long time emerged in his mind again.
She quickly closed the window to block out the foul-smelling wind, but the smell still lingered at her nose.
This is the old problem again.
One medicine is needed.
Xiao He glanced at the time and took out his phone to send a message to the person living next door.
It’s ten o’clock.
【Aren’t you coming over yet?】
Xiao He had just sent it out for a few seconds.
Boom boom boom.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
——
At this time, in the center of Shengwu Island.
Xiaoguai carried all his belongings on his back and followed the hamster all the way, smelling the scent of the other hamster in the air.
The opponent seemed to have sensed its presence and kept changing positions to avoid it.
It chases, it flees.
After chasing for a while, the strange hamster finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and pounced on it.
Although this hamster is slightly smaller than Xiaoguai and is a female, its ferocious aura is even more powerful, a ruthlessness forged from years of fighting alone in the wild.
Although Xiaoguai grew up in the apocalypse, he was adopted by Xiao He at a very young age. Although he looks tall and fierce, he is actually a pure and innocent person at heart. He was immediately knocked to the ground by the other party.
The stranger hamster's throat was bitten, and his whole body tensed up, the hair on his back stood up high, and his black bean eyes looked at Xiaoguai warningly.
If it dares to move, I will bite its neck off immediately.
Xiaoguai didn't move, but took this opportunity to look at him carefully.
I didn't see it clearly yesterday, but now I look closely and find that it is indeed the same species as it.
This was the first of its kind it encountered after coming into this world.
After confirming this, the cat happily flapped its long tail on the ground, and was so excited that it seemed like it had been injected with chicken blood, struggling to get close to it.
The opponent thought it was going to launch an attack, so it quickly distanced itself and entered combat mode.
The next second, the other party started jumping around it, dancing, and swinging its tail in a circle, expressing its joy from head to toe.
The white-tailed hamster looked at him warily for a while, and then found that the other party was not pretending and was indeed a fool, so he retracted his attacking action and turned away in disgust.
When Xiaoguai saw it, he hurriedly chased after it and grabbed a handful of nuts from his backpack and handed it to it.
A faint fragrance wafted into the nose of the white-tailed hamster, and its eyes suddenly lit up, and it pounced directly over.
It has been a long time since it last had delicious nuts.
Since the island became like this, food has become less and less. In order to survive, it will almost never let go of anything that can be swallowed.
Xiaoguai sat happily beside me, wagging his tail happily, like a dog, as if to say:
Do you think my collection of nuts is delicious?
The white-tailed hamster just focused on eating the steamed buns. After eating all the nuts, it elegantly trimmed its whiskers and cleaned up the food residues. Then, it looked at the silly-looking little hamster with disdain, raised its head and prepared to leave.
Xiaoguai was surprised and his ears drooped slightly, but he quickly chased after him with the nuts in his hands.
Seeing this, the white-tailed hamster immediately stopped and wolfed down its food.
Xiaoguai, who is usually a bit stingy, was exceptionally generous today. In a short while, he gave away most of his stockpiled goods.
Seeing that the white-tailed hamster was no longer rejecting it, Xiaoguai sneaked closer while the other was eating, then stretched out its happy tail and shyly hooked the tip of the other's tail.
The white-tailed hamster seemed to be electrocuted, and all the hair on its body stood up instantly. It angrily grabbed Xiaoguai's tail and started beating him up.
After beating it until it held its head and screamed, it picked up the pine cones on the ground and ran away into the darkness.
After a long while, Xiaoguai sat up with aggrieved look on his face. He saw that all the pine cones he had stored were gone. He had lost both the wife and the army. Two tears squeezed out of his little eyes and he cried like a three-hundred-ton fat man.
