Chapter 142: Spinning in circles? Trapped in a maze? (1/2)



Doctor Chu was "invited" over, and when he saw the insects all over the mountain, it seemed like his hands and feet were sealed, oh no, even his eyes were sealed.

Chu Han took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I have trypophobia and insect allergies. The problem at hand is beyond my scope."

Others also came over, all wearing masks of pain.

Zhou Feifei, however, looked at the large silkworm pupa with great interest and asked, "Is this silkworm pupa aggressive?"

Shi Man: "Not yet, but it's hard to say after the adults hatch."

Zhou Feifei rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll do it!" She was even more excited than when she was picking mushrooms. She picked up a large silkworm pupa casually, and her eyes were so charming that they could be drawn.

"Xiaoman, can I get a commission if I pick up more?" Zhou Feifei looked at Shi Man eagerly.

Shi Man: "...Do you like this?"

Zhou Feifei nodded. "It's really fragrant after being fried. It's crispy and has a chicken flavor."

Shi Man raised her hand and made a 'please' gesture, "I'll give you a 10% commission."

Zhou Feifei's eyes lit up as she said to the others, "Don't compete with me!"

"Sorry! We really have to grab this!" Sun Anni raised her hand: "Boss, I can do the job too! I eat bugs... No, I'm an expert at picking them up!"

Shi Man clapped her hands and gave two thumbs up: "Two heroic women, this insect forest is handed over to you."

Zhou Feifei and Sun Anni looked at each other and asked, "Want a speed competition?"

"The loser is in charge of cooking?"

"no problem!"

The two women started working, transforming into cold and ruthless insect-catching machines. Their posture and speed were absolutely amazing.

The group of old men rubbing their arms and shivering beside them looked like useless snacks.

"Wow, my Master and Sister Annie are truly brave. Master Dao, why don't you go and help? A united heart can cut through metal!"

Yang Benxin shook his head: "I can't do that. I can kill insects, but if you ask me to catch one with my bare hands, especially one that keeps pupating like a cricket, I'll go numb all over."

Qi Hao sighed with emotion: "Seeing this scene, it just proves what the great man said: Women hold up half the sky. We sisters who came out of the Pure Land each hold up half the sky!"

Milk and his little brother had eaten so much bugs that their bellies were full. The two little ones turned into detectors and could easily dig a bug hole.

Ellie had been taking notes nearby. After summarizing her findings, she walked towards Shi Man:

"Boss, I've taken a closer look. These mutant silkworm pupae should be from the tussah silkworm pupae. This type of silkworm pupae is generally more commonly consumed in the north."

"But normally, tussah silkworm pupae are raised in the woods and don't form pupae in the soil. The ecosystem on this hill is so strange that it completely defies our existing understanding."

"I want to study this living silkworm pupa." Ellie was eager to try. She didn't have many instruments with her on this trip, but she could still do some basic slice observations.

Shi Man nodded, "How can I help you?"

"No need for help, I just want to bring a live one on board, but I'm not sure if there will be any safety risks."

Shi Man pondered for a moment. "It shouldn't be a big problem. There's a risk defense system on the car. But after you pack the live silkworm pupae, it's best to place them on the second-floor terrace, away from the first-floor activity area."

Ellie nodded and went to work.

The group collected mushrooms here at Shanbaobao for nearly three hours and had a really good harvest. Before leaving, the place where the mushrooms originally grew was covered with moss again, as if no mushrooms had ever grown there.

Shi Man marked the coordinates of the hill. She had a hunch that she might come back again in the future.
