Chapter 49 What to do in winter when the gasoline runs out
The four words "career" helped netizens grasp the key point. Soon, netizens found out that Carl had studied in Europe and the United States for four years and had just returned to China two years ago and was accepted by a domestic research institute.
It is said to be the Bureau of Research and Investigation of Unnatural Events.
Netizens were curious about what kind of investigation bureau this was, and some knew some inside information and were mocking Lu Shaohua there.
[Why is the name of this investigation bureau so mysterious? ]
[It sounds so high-end! ]
[Tsk, what a high-sounding thing, it makes me feel like I have nothing to do all day. ]
[Are you still hiring? I'm just curious and want to apply. ]
[I heard that their investigation bureau is short of funds and is preparing to lay off employees. I saw the foreign name of the car, which means that he will be laid off soon. He wants to become an Internet celebrity with Shen Linglan, so this happened! ]
Shen Linglan did not read the comments of netizens carefully, but just glanced at a few of them. However, she was concerned about the funding issue of the Investigation Bureau.
Coincidentally, Huang Linfeng handed all the information about Sun Xiuli's new home to Shen Linglan.
Shen Linglan flipped through a few pages of information and discovered that Sun Xiuli had not had a good life in the past decade or so after remarrying.
She and Shen Linglan's biological father divorced because Sun Xiuli failed to get pregnant after giving birth to Shen Linglan, and her family favored boys over girls and always wanted a boy.
As a result, after the divorce, Sun Xiuli really gave birth to a son as she wished, and so did Shen Linglan's biological father.
Later, Shen Linglan lived with her uncle, a relative of hers. At that time, her aunt said that they were both able to give birth to sons, but they couldn't when they were together before because Shen Linglan was a curse on them.
Later, Shen Linglan was also kicked out by her uncle's family for this reason.
At that time, Sun Xiuli had just given birth to a son less than a year ago. After knowing that her daughter had nowhere to go, she ignored her. Now I look through the information and find out that although Sun Xiuli gave birth to a son for Zhou Yesheng, who ran a gasoline factory, Zhou Yesheng was not good to her.
Not only is he a gambler, he is also a domestic abuser.
After remarrying, Sun Xiuli has always been submissive, serving her husband and son. Her husband is not only unlucky, but also lazy. Although he runs a gas plant, the family often has trouble making ends meet. In order to support the family, Sun Xiuli has worked as a cleaner and a garbage collector.
When Shen Linglan saw the photo of Sun Xiuli being beaten up by her husband and going to the hospital for treatment, she couldn't help but twitch. If she hadn't come to her house to harass her and done so many weird things, Shen Linglan would have softened her heart and maybe even given her money.
But, that's if.
In addition to doing dirty work, Sun Xiuli also did a lot of dirty things in recent years. She stole money from the owner and once slapped a baby who was less than one month old when she was a confinement nanny.
These matters were suppressed by the housekeeping company.
What Shen Linglan has to do is to make these truths public.
She gave all the information to Chen Mengxue and asked her to find a reliable media outlet to report the incident.
When Chen Mengxue was about to leave, Shen Linglan called her, "This."
Shen Linglan pointed at the person on her phone screen and said, "A netizen said he is from the Bureau of Unnatural Events Research. Can you help me find out how to contact the bureau?"
Chen Mengxue has been paying close attention to this matter these past two days, so she naturally knows the whole story. In fact, she had already checked the situation of this investigation bureau, and she told Shen Linglan everything she knew truthfully.
"Ms. Suzuran, what the netizens said is pretty much the same. It is said that this investigation bureau is going to lay off employees due to various reasons."
"So..."
Shen Linglan felt that if financial factors were indeed involved in these reasons, then that would be the least cause for concern.
"Please help me contact their leaders. I want to donate money to them."
“Ah…? Ok, ok.”
**
Unlike Shen Linglan, Zhao Yunduo is currently on a tense escape.
As the fire became smaller and smaller, Zhao Yunduo and the others thought that the green giant would at least be a little more cautious and would not dare to come out to eat people in the short term. However, they did not expect that after being burned, the green giant would retreat briefly, and then, as if it had gone crazy, it came out from the ground, stretched out its branches and tried to attack Zhao Yunduo and the others.
"Zhao Yunduo! Run!!!"
Kong Liang yelled and ran away.
Zhao Yunduo, who was with him on the street near the green giant and poured gasoline and set fire, ran away when he heard the sound.
She swore that in her life, whether it was the 800-meter long-distance race or the 50-meter short-distance race, she had never run so fast.
They were chased to the street where the barbecue restaurant was, but the green giant didn't give up yet.
The green giant, whose branches were mostly burned off, moved a little slower and couldn't catch up with them, but the whole green plant seemed to have gone crazy.
When Cui Zhende, who was writing something on a piece of paper, saw them running towards him, he almost dropped the pen in his hand.
"Run! Ah! Professor! Cui!"
Kong Liang shouted at them.
Several people not far away, including Zhou Micheng and Yaoyao, all ran in another direction.
The green giant seemed to have suddenly become madly excited and went around another street without giving up. However, only a small branch was left.
Just when they were exhausted and ready to stop to fight this seemingly not-too-threatening branch, suddenly, another branch emerged from the sewer at the corner. This branch was as thick as Wu An's thigh. This time they really had to stop.
The branch moved much faster, splitting into many small branches, attacking them continuously, forcing the seven people to stay close together.
Neither Wu An's gun nor Zhou Micheng's long stick could scare the green giant. Even Zhao Yunduo's mace could only resist slightly for a few times, but soon, the mace was entangled in the branches, and no matter how hard Zhao Yunduo tried, he could not get rid of it.
"No, it's over. I hope I won't be eaten by this thing."
"Don't we still have a dozen barrels of gasoline?" Zhao Yunduo said to Cui Zhende, "Take them out and pour them on!"
She held a lighter in her hand, looking ready to light a cigarette at any time.
Cui Zhende looked embarrassed, and Jenny also had a look of reluctance on her face. Only Wu An, who was carrying five small bottles of gasoline, immediately took them out of his backpack, unscrewed the cap of one of the bottles without hesitation, and poured it on the branches.
Zhao Yunduo lit up his lighter almost at the same time.
The fire suddenly rushed towards the attacking branch, and the branch made a shrill cry. Zhou Micheng immediately covered Yaoyao's ears, and when he looked at the branch again, it had retracted.
The people present took the opportunity to pour the remaining gasoline into the sewer, ignited the fire, and fled across several streets. When they looked back, the fire had turned into a small red dot in the distance. They then stopped, held their knees, and gasped for breath.
"That was a close call..."
"Finally escaped..."
"Is this green monster crazy? Isn't it afraid of fire? Why is it suddenly like this?"
Cui Zhende said: "It is taking revenge on us, and is also urgently looking for replenishment for its lost energy."
Although they escaped, all the gasoline was used up, and Jenny let out a long sigh.
"The base's gasoline is almost gone, and I thought we could bring some back for emergency use. It's late summer now, and autumn and winter are coming soon. Without generators and gasoline, I don't know how many people will die this winter."
Thinking of the heavy faces of the people in the B City base, and Zhao Yunduo, who had already taken out all his gasoline at the barbecue restaurant, Zhao Yunduo's face couldn't help but become heavy when he heard Jenny say that.
But soon, she suddenly felt that her space seemed to have expanded a little. She used her mind to feel the space and found that the extra space was twice as large, and there were nearly a hundred gasoline cans there.
