Chapter 324 Useful
Xia Yan felt that the voice was a little too familiar.
But she was wrapped in multiple layers of protective clothing and an oversized eye mask, so tightly that she couldn't see anything.
The two men then started shoveling nearby. Their bodies were swollen, but it did not affect their work.
After several days and nights of continuous rain, most of the red worms exposed outside died.
At first glance, the ground was covered with a tangled mass of dead branches.
If someone who didn’t know the place saw it, they would really think that it was full of dry vines due to lack of water.
So similar.
But deep in the soil, there are living red worms.
After many excavations and observations, Chu Wanfu quickly determined that the insects could only reach a maximum depth of one meter underground.
And the weakness of being afraid of rain has not changed.
They quickly developed a deep pest control plan and assigned tasks.
All troops moved as ordered.
Xia Yan looked at the group of people busying around, and always felt that it was like the ants moving house that he had seen when he was free and doing rural tasks in the past.
There are always a few people who try to take advantage of the situation, digging lightly with a shovel in fear, ready to jump away at any time.
The supervisor nearby saw this and wrote down the poor performance in a notebook, and also deducted one base contribution point.
"Don't be lazy! Complete the areas assigned to you on time!"
In fact, these red bugs are easier to deal with than zombies. Whether you use pesticides, fire, rain, or shovels, you can easily destroy the bug bodies.
The team of residents who were initially very afraid of being parasitized and punished, after killing a few more insects, their scalps no longer felt numb and their hands stopped shaking.
Roll up your sleeves and work hard in the assigned area.
"Wait! Leave me some samples! I need them to be tested!"
There were hurried footsteps behind me.
Doctor Sang held Dean Ji's arm and hurried over from behind the door. Sang Yu, who was standing beside him, ran very carefully holding the box, fearing that the things inside would be broken by the bumps.
The crowd made way for an aisle.
"Put on protective clothing first, Gu Qiu, clothes!"
Doctor Sang grabbed his arm and said, "You have to wear it! We don't know how the infection occurred yet!"
Dean Ji slapped his forehead suddenly, "I almost forgot! Quick! Give it to me!"
He saw the group of people spraying insecticide desperately, and the insects shrank and died in two seconds. He became anxious and wanted to rush out.
After all, we need to keep some living subjects during the experiment!
Dr. Sang has known him for many years and knows a little about what goes on in the laboratory. He is also very anxious at the moment.
In the past few days, I have been busy with the affairs of the newly arrived survivors. I also took time out to learn on-site and work as a gynecologist, and delivered a few babies by the way.
I was so busy that I fell asleep and forgot about everything at the base.
If many people hadn't moved here today, she wouldn't have remembered it!
Not far away, a tall man wrapped tightly in a blanket stopped what he was doing when he heard the shouting, called his companions to stop, and took two steps towards the safe zone.
A dull voice came from behind the heavy breathing mask:
"You want bugs? Are they useful?"
Dean Ji quickly zipped up the zipper and put on the blindfold expertly. "It's very useful. I'm doing experiments, and every mutated creature is our research subject."
Doctor Sang said: "Young man, we will be there soon. We will only take up a moment of your time!"
As they spoke, the two put on their protective suits as quickly as possible, took the experimental box, and walked out of the protective shield.
He stepped down, creating small splashes of water in the puddles all over the ground.
The tall man took a step back and followed them with a shovel, the blade facing downwards, his hand tightly gripping the handle, to guard against hidden dangers.
Xia Yan suddenly knew who he was.
Two people in the safe zone squeezed in front of the protective shield and shouted:
"Brother Jing! Be sure to stay safe!!"
"Boy, come back safely."
The tall man tilted his head and nodded briefly.
Xia Yan looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the old man he had met before. Then the person next to him must be the daughter he had been looking for all the way, right?
The old man turned his head and saw her. He happily put his arms around his daughter's neck and forced her to turn her head. He squeezed through the crowd again to talk to her.
Old man: "Boss Xia, I haven't seen you for several days."
Xia Yan: "Yes, where do you live?"
The old man said: "Xiao Jing rented a water house for us. It's nice and comfortable inside! By the way, this is my daughter, Little Potato."
"Dad!" The girl bumped her father's shoulder with a dissatisfied look on her face.
How can you introduce your family members like this!
Exposing all the shortcomings!
"I remember you. It was you who handed me the clothes and pulled me up."
The girl's skin is slightly dark, but her eyes shine like black pearls.
Xia Yan: "Oh~it's you!"
The girl wanted to smile, but only one side of her lips was raised, while the other half remained motionless. Upon closer inspection, the left and right sides of her face were different.
The smile flashed across her face, and the next second she reached out to touch her mouth, with fear and trepidation flashing across her eyes.
Seeing this, the old man put his arm around her shoulders, moved closer and whispered, "It's over now. Let's live a good life from now on, Daddy's good little Dingxiang."
Xiao Dingxiang nodded and blocked out all negative emotions. She held her father's hand, touched the familiar calluses, and her heart calmed down a lot. Then she looked at Xia Yan.
"I always hear Dad mention you. He said you even threw a sheep away to save him! It must have made him so sad. Food is so important."
Xia Yan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry about it. That sheep has already been used for the second time. Keeping it will just take up space."
Xiao Dingxiang pursed one side of her mouth, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
She shook her head and refused. "Boss Xia, it's not easy for you to run a shop. Our Liu family never owes favors to anyone. When the weather is good, my father and I will go out to collect crystal cores and return them to you then."
The sunlight finally broke through the clouds, and beams of golden light shone on the vast earth.
In the Tyndall effect, even the finest raindrops turn into golden threads, floating and falling softly.
The people who were exterminating insects outside looked up, looked at the sun that had not been seen for several days, and squinted their eyes.
"It's great! The sun is finally out."
The residents in the safe zone also cheered, ran into the grocery store to buy a pair of rain boots, and went outside with tools to help.
Amidst the noisy crowd, Xia Yan smiled sincerely.
"OK."
"After all, it's second-hand. Three first-level crystal cores are enough."
...
Dean Ji successfully obtained eight red worms of different lengths.
Before leaving, he patted the guy who helped him a lot.
"Well done, you're a talented person. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me! I'll provide you with food, drink, and accommodation!"
His facial expression couldn't be seen clearly under the thick mask.
But it doesn't matter, he knows that the conditions he offered are not bad, and adds:
"Just contact Dr. Sang when the time comes, and she will bring you to see me."
After saying that, without waiting for the other party's response, he trotted back to the hall with the test box in his arms.
Doctor Sang was also concerned about the group of patients on Lidai Island, and said, "I work at the hospital. Come see me if you need me."
