Chapter 702: The Prosperous Tang Dynasty. The Reason for the Mist
The two men stopped immediately, their faces looking heavy.
"Xiao An, is it the fog? Why is it a little different?" Gu Ye asked.
The fog here is a little red, but not very obvious.
"Go back."
As she spoke, she took out two bottles of oral pills from the space and handed one to Gu Ye. Although both of them had taken the antidote, this mist was a little different, so it was better to be careful.
The two men took three steps when two broken vans suddenly emerged from the alley next to them, about twenty meters away from them.
The car door was opened, and the people inside pushed down three silk bags. The mouths of the bags were not tied, and countless snakes, insects, rats, ants and disgusting things that could not be named crawled out from them, covering the streets in an instant, and finally some red powder was scattered.
The people in the van obviously saw them as well, but they just took a quick look and got in the car and left.
Although the situation ahead was extremely disgusting and weird, Chu An's sixth sense told her to look back, so she did so, and saw a scene that she would never forget in her life.
The fog, which was more than thirty meters away from them just now, swept towards them madly at an extremely fast speed, as if it was a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open, wanting to swallow them.
It couldn't be called fog. To be precise, first, red floating objects came towards them, followed by white mist.
Those floating objects flickered strangely under the moonlight, like countless tiny dust particles, tumbling and stirring in the air. But Chu An was sure that they were alive and looking for a target.
"This way." Gu Ye pulled Chu An towards the alley.
Chu An had already called Old Chu, and the person on the other end quickly answered, "What's wrong, girl?"
Chu An, "Have you arrived at the guesthouse?"
Lao Chu, "We're here. We're just about to go to the first floor to wash up."
Chu An, "Don't go to the first floor, go find Mou Ci and Da Liu and go to the top floor right now, the fog is coming."
…
Chu An took out the protective suit and breathing mask from the space and put them on with Gu Ye. No matter what, they had to see clearly what happened to the snakes, insects, rats and ants, and they also had to collect some mist for Grandma Xia.
After they were dressed, Chu An took out a motorcycle from the space again. Gu Ye drove her through another street and stopped not far from the fog.
I saw red floating objects enveloping snakes, insects, rats and ants on the ground, and then they were trapped in one place by the white mist that followed. The red color faded, and the living things were decomposed and devoured. This scene was too weird.
"Go back, the police are here." Gu Ye reminded. His ears have always been more sensitive than others.
Chu An nodded. This was not the first time they had encountered fog. Each base knew the risk factor and had corresponding response strategies.
She has already notified everyone who could be notified via her cell phone, and is currently receiving their returned messages.
Chu An and Gu Ye drove the motorcycle to the vicinity of the guesthouse, found a secluded place, and Chu An put the motorcycle into the space.
There was no fog at the guesthouse, so everyone waited for more than an hour before returning to their rooms to rest. Mou Ci was still a little worried, so he arranged for a shift, and Gu Ye also joined. There were four people, three hours each, so there was plenty of time to rest.
After Chu An finished washing up in the room, his watch received an emergency notice from the government, asking everyone not to go out, and residents on the lower floors to be alert and move to higher floors if they found any danger.
When she went to bed at night, Grandma Xia was still in the laboratory, so she could only continue to help dry the medicine. But soon, Grandma Xia came out with excitement in her eyes.
She said with certainty that the nanoworms were attracted by snakes, insects, rats and ants, and were sub-venomous insects, a bit like flies that were attracted to dirt. The fog came from underground and could stop the nanoworms from moving.
"But it doesn't completely stop them. The nanoworms are attracted to the target. Once the target appears, the fog can't trap them. But when there is no target, the nanoworms will not leave the range of the fog."
Chu An suddenly realized that his guess was somewhat correct. "Then can I understand that the fog is a warning from the Earth to humans?"
Grandma Xia nodded. "You can say that, but I haven't analyzed the composition of the mist yet, but it is very effective. It can naturally decompose the nanoworms, but it takes a little time, half a year to a year. Normally, if there is no natural disaster, these nanoworms will not appear in places where humans live."
"What could those red bugs and red powder be?" Chu An collected some with Purple Willow before leaving.
"The red bugs are a variation of the white ones. They are all equally toxic, so you don't have to worry about that. The red powder is a mixture of apple snail eggs and cochineal insects. Snakes, insects, rats and ants alone cannot completely attract the nanoworms."
Chu An immediately shuddered. She had seen apple snail eggs and cochineal before and they felt a little disgusting.
Grandma Xia came out to tell her this after seeing the new fog. She said she would go back to continue studying the composition of the fog. She believed that the fog was related to future plant mutations.
The next day, Chu An and the other two went to the government hall to go through the formalities for staying in the inner city. There were almost no pedestrians on the road, and naturally no one was in the government hall either. It was all because of the fog.
Chu An and the other two took up one window each. The formalities were handled quickly. The old resident ID cards were collected and each of them was given a form. "Fill in your information and I'll stamp it for you. Before you enter the inner city, this form will be your proof of identity. Be sure to keep it well."
Several people filled out the form carefully and handed it to the staff almost at the same time.
"Okay, give me the health certificate. It won't take long for you to check it, so you shouldn't need to repeat the check to enter the inner city."
The three were dumbfounded.
They forgot to go to the health center for a physical check-up!
Due to the sudden appearance of fog, many people were injured. When the three people rushed to the clinic, it was already crowded.
The staff told them that the physical examination department was temporarily closed and all the staff had been transferred to the emergency department. There was no other way, the three of them could only wait for two more days in the outer city. Anyway, all the procedures had been completed, except for the physical examination report.
Mou Ci couldn't stay with them all the time, so he went back early so that they wouldn't have to worry about accommodation, and he would arrange it.
This time, the fog did not only appear in the outer city, but also in the inner city. Moreover, because no one warned it in time, the losses caused were not small.
Sheng Tang had just obtained the antidote sample and had not had time to mass-produce it, so it could only temporarily purchase it from City C. Naturally, it was ripped off again.
Yuzhuo looked at Sun Boyi with some unfriendly eyes, but he couldn't get angry. He used a little girl as a scapegoat and ended up hitting a wall. It was really embarrassing.
"Base Commander, this fog is a good thing." Finance Minister Qi Lu said flatteringly, "The Yao family's arsenal has been affected and has stopped production. It is said that two-thirds of the people were injured, and they are asking the government to distribute the antidote. We can transfer the cost of purchasing the antidote to Boss Yao. Isn't he rich and cherishes his brothers?"
Sun Boyi looked at Qi Lu with approval.
Yu Li gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, which was considered as his agreement.
"What happened to Lan Jin? It's been four days." he asked again.
Sun Boyi said hurriedly: "Ninety-nine percent of them have been arrested. Now only two senior executives and the president have not been arrested."
He was waiting to be praised, but what he was waiting for was a curse from Reserve, "Idiot."
Sun Boyi was startled and complained in his heart, thinking that arresting so many people was not enough, and his face showed some aggrieved look.
Yu nodded at him and said, "You've been at your ease for too long. As the saying goes, if you don't catch the thief, he will come back sooner or later. Tell the Public Security Bureau and the Action Team not to let down their guard. It's easier for them to cause trouble at this time."
What can he do? He has no one left. Sun Boyi was still a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to say it.
At this moment, Dean Sheng Tang came hurriedly and told them a shocking news - the fog was caused by humans, and the culprit was most likely the Blue Gold Society.
