Yang Jie exchanged several kilograms of sweet potatoes for the squid, and was criticized by Yang Weimin for wasting food. In fact, he just wanted his father to have a taste of meat on his birthday. He

was afraid of wasting it, so he was reluctant to even peel off the outermost purple membrane of the squid, but he washed it repeatedly.

Moreover, he deliberately dragged his feet and didn't take the bowl, just to let his father eat more meat.

Jiang Ning observed the fried squid and used chopsticks to look at the squid tentacles. "Dried squid?"

"Yes, it's a big squid, one kilogram, I cut a quarter of it and fried it."

A kilogram of dried squid? Jiang Ning was surprised.

Ordinary farmed squids are already big after being dried, and wild squids are considered big at one or two kilograms.

Hong Xuan destroyed the marine farm. The wild squids in the sea could never be so heavy. Even if there were some, they would have been caught long ago. After landing, they would be divided into different groups. The good stuff would never reach the hands of ordinary survivors.

Yang Jie explained, "No, the dried squid they sell is very big, and some weigh more than two kilograms."

Jiang Ning frowned, and her heart suddenly started.

She remembered that Huo Yishen said that extreme heat would melt the glaciers at the poles, and ancient viruses would most likely invade the ocean.

"Where is the squid?"

Yang Jie hurriedly took out the remaining dried squid from the kitchen.

Jiang Ning was dumbfounded. This dried squid... was not only several times larger than the ones she had stockpiled before, but also had a thicker purple membrane on her tentacles.

The squid had many raised lumps of flesh, but they were not particularly obvious after being dried, but you could still tell them apart if you looked closely.

She smelled it and it was indeed dried squid, but it tasted much worse than the ones she had stored, with a particularly strong fishy smell.

"There's something wrong with this squid." Jiang Ning said seriously, "Gastric lavage, now."

Without a gastric lavage tube, she could only pour water into Yang Weimin's mouth. When he had enough, he would naturally vomit, and then continue.

Yang Weimin was reluctant to believe it at first, but Yang Jie was so scared that he started crying and almost knelt down to beg him, "Dad, just listen to Sister Aning. Mom is gone. If you leave again, what should I do?"

He was only 17 or 18 years old. After two years of natural disasters, he had become very sensible, but now he was crying like a child.

Yang Weimin didn't want to leave his son, "Don't cry, Dad will listen to you." He

drank water desperately and induced vomiting desperately.

Yang Jie was at a loss. He just wanted his father to eat some meat on his birthday, so how could it harm him?

He Tianming looked serious, "Xiao Jiang, why did you say there was something wrong with the squid?"

Jiang Ning did not hide anything and told him about the ancient virus in a guessing way.

He Tianming was shocked. Over the past decade, the temperature has indeed been rising, and the polar glaciers have been melting faster and faster. Scientists' concerns about ancient viruses have also been reported in the media from time to time.

It's just that ordinary people think it's too far away, and forget it after reading it.

Unexpectedly, one day it really happened, and it happened in the end of the world without medicine.

Yang Weimin was fed half a bucket of water, and even bile came out.

He Tianming said with concern, "Old Yang, how do you feel?"

Yang Weimin kept panting, and his body was still in pain, but it was much slower than before. "I, I didn't eat much either." It

's not easy to eat a bite of meat, so I thought about leaving more for my son.

It hurts so much after just a few bites. If you eat it all, this family will be extinct.

He Tianming was shocked and his palms were covered with cold sweat. Unlike the inland or grain-producing provinces, the coastal areas have developed industries and are not suitable for building strategic grain warehouses.

From the natural disaster to now, the reason why many people still have food to eat is that they ask the ocean for it.

Salt, seafood, seaweed, etc.

These are all infected with ancient viruses. What will the survivors do in the future?

He Tianming's voice trembled, "Xiao Jiang, are you sure?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "It's just a guess."

"But if it's true, wouldn't we have no hope of survival?"

Jiang Ning couldn't answer and could only choose to remain silent.

The Yang family had no medicine, so they could only endure it after gastric lavage.

Jiang Ning had done everything he could, so he planned to leave.

Who knew He Tianming stopped him, "Xiao Jiang, this is a serious matter. There are so many seawater and seafood coming to Fengcheng every day. If there is a problem, who knows how many people will die. How about we go to the neighborhood committee to report this matter?"

Jiang Ning said tactfully, "Captain He, this is just my guess, and there is no evidence. If the investigation shows that it is not the case, wouldn't I be spreading rumors and causing trouble?

At that time, not to mention that the police station will give me a silver bracelet, I am afraid that those who sell goods will jump out and kill me first.

I am glad that the deputy captain is okay. I will go back first."

Coming out of Building 1, Jiang Ning sighed deeply. She didn't expect the virus to invade so quickly.

In her previous life, she lived a miserable life, eating tree bark and chewing Guanyin soil. How could she have the opportunity to enjoy seafood?

Seeing survivors, they all avoid them, fearing that they will be slaughtered as two-legged sheep, so they really don't know about this.

It has been less than two months since returning from the beach, and she didn't expect that the changes were so great. Jiang Ning was very depressed. 40 tons of fresh food, tens of thousands of kilograms of dried goods and sea salt, dare she eat it?

No wonder a bag of salt can be exchanged for 30 kilograms of food in her previous life. It is estimated that the situation is quite serious.

She was a little worried, "What will happen if the virus is infected?"

Huo Yishen didn't know either. He was busy running around on the front line of disaster relief every day, and life and death were commonplace. He fell asleep as soon as he had a little free time, and he really didn't have the energy to pay attention to other things.

"Disaster relief has always been supplying seafood rice balls. I guess they are the goods that were stockpiled in the past. In any case, there has been no poisoning death. I didn't hear others mention it until a few years later."

Maybe there was, but I didn't think about it that way at the time. Too many people died in natural disasters, and life was too difficult. Who has the energy to study the real reasons behind the deaths.

Jiang Ning thought that three years after the disaster, salt became extremely scarce along the coast, which was enough to show that the authorities noticed this problem and banned the consumption of sea salt.

I just don't know if they have discovered it now?

Seeing her frown, Huo Yishen comforted her: "Aning, we have done everything we should do, and the rest is up to fate."

Jiang Ning pondered his words, "Have you told the relevant departments about what will happen in the future?"

Huo Yishen didn't answer, but took her hand and went home.

When they got home, Jiang Ning disinfected herself with alcohol and changed her clothes.

...

In the evening, He Tianming knocked on the door of Yang's house, "Old Yang, how are you?"

Yang Weimin's symptoms were much better, but he felt weak all over. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm lucky this time. Prince Yan didn't take it away."

Yang Jie felt guilty and blamed himself, "Dad, it's all my fault. I almost killed you."

Yang Weimin comforted his son, "It has nothing to do with you. It's all this end of the world that harms people. We live like neither human nor ghost."

Seeing that his complexion was much better, He Tianming was sure that it was the squid's problem, "Old Yang, I didn't expect that things in the sea can't be eaten. One day it may spread to crops on land. You have to be careful about what you put in your mouth in the future."

"Who said it wasn't? God still lets people live or not."

"It's really thanks to Jiang Ning that you were able to avoid Prince Yan this time." He Tianming discussed business with him, "It's fine if we didn't encounter this, but we can't pretend we don't know if we did. How about reporting it to the neighborhood committee?"

Yang Weimin thought, "The neighborhood committee won't care about this, right?"
