Chapter 83
"Well, I've got it. It can kill. Do you want to see it?"
The young man was very happy that they focused their attention on the insects he had refined. He reached out and took off a bamboo tube jar from his body and shook it in his hand.
The reason why he was able to refine the insect in his hand was thanks to the Agricultural Research Institute.
The Agricultural Research Institute itself has experimental fields, and when the mutant insects first appeared, they were basically all caught because there were people guarding them.
Together with the mutant insects that were handed in from all over the country later, the people from the Agricultural Research Institute did not need so many for their research, so they gave those insects to the young Gu boy who happened to emerge.
This is how the insect inside the small bamboo tube that the young man is shaking in his hand appeared.
"Look! Look!"
After hearing the young man's words, the researchers at the Agricultural Research Institute were all very excited.
After all, their previous research was all about pest control, and they had never studied how to use one insect to kill another insect without causing harm to crops.
Before the world changed, there was indeed such a law in nature: there would always be some insects around pests that could eat them, natural enemies selected by nature.
However, during the battle between the two sides, the biggest loss was the crops.
If you want to eat so-called natural food without chemical fertilizers, these losses are acceptable.
But now, after this mutation began, the food can no longer withstand such consumption.
There isn't much food for humans to eat, and there isn't much left for these bugs to eat.
It is precisely because they know that the world is difficult now that the researchers were so excited when they heard that someone could directly kill the mutated and powerful mutant insects.
"Then let's find a field with mutant insects."
Hearing the researchers' agreement, the young Gu man didn't waste any words and directly prepared to let the insects come out to fight, so that these people could see the strength of his insects.
"Or, should we just find a place in the wild where there are more insects?"
Considering that the experimental fields owned by the Agricultural Research Institute are now under the supervision of dedicated personnel, there probably won't be too many insects. After thinking about it, Gu Shao Nian suggested that the destination be set in a place with more insects.
"No, let's go directly to the experimental field."
After hearing what the Gu boy said, the people from the Agricultural Research Institute directly chose the first option.
When they heard that the insects in the hands of the young man could directly kill the insects in the farmland, the first thing they thought of was that the grain seeds could be saved.
Now we want to try it out, and of course it would be better to choose the kind of insects that appear in farmland.
The mutated insects in the wild are all slightly different, and they are not sure whether they can deal with all the insects in the hands of the Gu boy.
The most important thing now is to specialize in treating one type of insect, and put the rest aside. After making sure that there is no problem with the grain field, the young man can do whatever research he wants.
This is the most important idea for everyone in the Agricultural Research Institute right now.
"Okay, let's go now."
After hearing what everyone in the Agricultural Research Institute said, Gu Shaonian didn't dwell on it. It was just a suggestion he had made before.
When he first got the bugs in his hands, he specifically threw in some mutated bugs that appeared in the farmland. After he was sure that they could be killed, he started throwing in other bugs. Basically, the most common bugs that appeared outside could be killed, but they could not be completely avoided.
So now researchers at the Agricultural Research Institute think it would be best to conduct experiments in farmland.
As long as the mutant insects' abilities don't exceed those of his poisonous insects by a large margin, his insects won't be afraid.
This is indeed the case.
As soon as they arrived at the experimental fields under the name of the Agricultural Research Institute, they saw defenders walking between the ridges to check for mutant insects.
Because the higher-ups knew the importance of food, the guards were all equipped with special abilities.
Now mutant insects have been found in farmland. Ordinary people can deal with them when they first appear, but when they grow a little bigger, they can no longer be dealt with and defense personnel still have to deal with them.
After a while, the security personnel in the experimental site didn't want to be called around every once in a while, so they took over the task of patrolling the site.
When the group from the Agricultural Research Institute arrived here, the first thing they saw was the security personnel walking between the ridges of the experimental fields.
It is impossible to leave the fields without people, and the defense personnel have not been able to rest properly for a long time.
The appearance of the Gu boy is like a life-saving medicine in times of crisis. Not only the people in the Agricultural Research Institute are happy, but even the defense personnel who watch the farmland day and night are also very happy.
When they heard the young Gu boy ask them to come up and wait, and let the Gu insect in his hand watch the farmland for a while, they did not question it at all and came up directly.
After all, even the people at the Agricultural Research Institute trust Gu Boy's abilities, so there's nothing to distrust about the defense personnel.
"This bug doesn't look that big. Can it handle a mutant bug that's two or three times bigger than it?"
Looking at the insect that slowly crawled out of the bamboo tube and stopped on the palm of the young man, looking around for a long time without moving, a researcher from the Agricultural Research Institute nearby asked curiously.
"Yes, it can. It not only has my abilities, but because it was refined from mutant insects, it also has its own abilities. Don't look at its small size, it is full of concentrated strength."
Gu Shao Nian knew that people outside had doubts about the things passed down from his hometown, and many people did not believe them, so even if he heard such questions, he did not seem angry.
Compared to the elders in the family, his temper is relatively mild because he received an ordinary education in the new era. He is much easier to get along with than the elders who have some weird tempers.
This is also the reason why the elders in the family feel at ease with him going out to interact with these people outside and face this crisis world.
Being selfish is not a good solution. In this uncertain future, we still need to follow the country. After all, the smartest people now stand on the side of the country, and what they know and can use is much better than their past experience.
So after learning about the country's call to action, the elders in the family discussed it and the young man came out.
He became the first civil servant specially appointed by the state not because he was in charge of the village.
Thinking of the scene where his sister was holding a big loudspeaker and shouting in the village every day that people should not be bewitched casually, the young man covered his chest, feeling the response of the worms under his skin, and then he felt relieved.
Fortunately, fortunately, he almost became the housekeeper who took care of a bunch of troublesome things and weird old men and women.
He let out a long sigh, thinking that the time was almost up, and looked down at the poisonous insect lying on his hand.
The insect seemed to sense his gaze and floated directly from his hand and flew towards the experimental field.
In the previous times, the insect seemed to be locking onto the direction where the mutant insect appeared. Now, with the signal from the young Gu boy, it quickly locked onto the target. In less than half a minute, it caught a mutant insect twice as big as itself from one of the experimental fields.
It seemed to have a toxin that could temporarily knock insects unconscious. The insects it pulled out were not dead, but they also showed no signs of moving.
"This bug isn't dead. Do you want it? If not, give it to my bugs to eat."
The young Gu boy took out an ordinary-looking gourd from his waist, motioned the Gu insect to put the mutant insect in it, and then turned to ask the people from the Agricultural Research Institute.
"No, we have enough bugs in our research institute. Just keep this for yourself."
A researcher looked at the insect he had just caught with curiosity, and replied to the young man's words without any idle talk.
In front of the experimental fields here, you can see guards guarding and catching insects. Together with the mutant insects sent from all over the place, there are quite a few insects in their Agricultural Research Institute, so there is no need to compete with the young man for one or two.
"The mouthparts of your insect are interesting. They seem to be quite poisonous. Can you take some out? Can you study them?"
There's no need to fight over bugs, but they still want to research other things.
"The Gu's ability is poison. Its toxins are not only released through bites with its mouthparts, but also through contact with the body. The toxins will also be released where its claws touch."
The young man didn't need the researchers to ask any more questions and directly told them about the situation of his own insects.
"A small amount of toxin isn't fatal, and a large amount isn't fatal either, but it can make the target pass out, making it impossible to wake up."
As the young man spoke, he shook the insect in his hand. After the insect knew that its owner had put the food away, it flew up again and headed towards the next target.
"Your defenses are pretty good. They can't find as many mutant bugs as the ones in my previous experiment."
As the Gu boy spoke, he thought of the appearance of his own Gu worm before.
Mutated insects are its food, but given its size, even if it can catch a lot of insects, it will only catch those with big eyes and small stomachs. If it attacks once, it will not be able to finish eating them from morning to night.
I don't know where it learned this from, but it learned to eat the part of a bug that has the most spiritual energy and is the most delicious, and then throw it away after taking a bite.
If there were not so few mutant insects in the place we came to today, the Agricultural Research Institute and the people around would have been able to see how rich their own insects are in terms of food.
He really eats one bite and throws away a bunch of food, which makes the young man Gu, who is now struggling with the taste of the food in the cafeteria of the Ability Center every day, envious.
At least his bugs were picky eaters, but now he couldn't even be sure what the food tasted like.
Watching the poisonous insects flying between the ridges of the fields and accurately catching all the mutant insects that appeared, the defense personnel of the Agricultural Research Institute and the experimental fields went up to check carefully. After confirming that no mutant insects were seen, they affirmed the results of the poisonous insects' work.
The defense personnel were more relaxed than those from the Agricultural Research Institute.
After all, they are the ones who have been roaming around the farmland every day and actually catching the insects since the mutant insects appeared.
Despite all the meticulous attention, there are still omissions.
Some of the insects are still small when they first appear, and they are easily ignored and not caught. By the time they are discovered later, the insects have already eaten most of the seedlings.
Now, as long as this young Gu man can get more of these insects and leave one in the experimental field, or if he doesn't need to leave any and just comes here every once in a while, they will be able to relax a little.
Thinking of this, not only did the people from the Agricultural Research Institute look at the insects in the boy's hands with shining eyes after seeing the results, but even the guards of the experimental fields looked at the boy expectantly.
"I'm the only one who can control this bug. I can only give you a sub-worm, but the sub-worm will definitely be less effective."
When the young Gu saw this scene, he didn't waste any words and just said what he wanted to say.
"Sure. It doesn't matter if it's not as good as yours. As long as it can control those mutant bugs that eat our crops, it'll be fine."
The people at the Agricultural Research Institute didn't mind that the young Gu boy took out a second-rate insect, and happily agreed.
Now that the bugs in the hands of the Gu boy have appeared, the Agricultural Research Institute no longer needs to be distracted by finding the fastest way to study how to control the mutated bugs.
They still wanted to focus their main energy on researching mutant grains. Of course, they didn't intend to put the entire task of controlling the mutant insects solely on Gu Juvenile. After finishing the research on the grains, they would restart the pesticide research when they had free time.
It's just a matter of priorities. Originally, insects should have been the most urgent issue, but now that they have this method that is obviously better than their current emergency research on pesticides, they have put the issue of pesticides aside for the time being and are ready to focus on the mutant grain seeds.
After the poisonous insects were tested, the only thing left was for the young poison master to find a way to make more sub-poisonous insects from those insects and supply them outside to kill insects.
Fortunately, he had the mother Gu in his hand, so it was very easy to make a baby Gu.
Captain Dai's team, which was unaware of the recent situation outside, had just sent the two injured and unconscious frontline comrades back to the hospital, when they heard that a capable person had appeared in the second team nearby, and he was extremely famous.
I heard that one bug is worth a whole squad.
"He has many bugs, but the only ones that can affect us are the ones that have recently mutated and been refined."
Because the people around him spread the rumors about the young man's abilities so miraculously, Captain Dai and his team members were a little worried and went to investigate further.
The strength of Team One and Team Two, as well as the number of missions they have completed, are very close. They are also afraid that the other party will play tricks on them. In case they cannot compete for rankings in the team competition one day, that's why they specifically go to find out.
Even though they are all official teams, there will still be competition.
Of course, it's healthy competition.
"Then I won't be afraid."
Hearing this, Tang Ji shook his head and turned around to forget about it.
"You'd better be afraid. Didn't you hear what I said later? Right now, they don't have any insects that can deal with the special ability user because the insects have only mutated recently. If time passes, who knows what kind of insects they will come up with."
Zhuang Dun patted Tang Ji's shoulder, unable to bear seeing his heartless look.
"As long as the poisonous insects don't kill us, it's not a big deal. You'll be in trouble if you lag behind in the team competition."
Captain Dai saw Tang Ji like this, said something with a smile, and then turned around and went into the house to rest.
Their abilities and physical fitness had improved significantly due to the fog on Sangshan Mountain, but that didn't mean they wouldn't get tired.
After sending the three newly recovered frontline personnel to the hospital and handing in their tasks, he hurried back to rest.
If one of the team members hadn't heard the gossip outside, they wouldn't have taken this break to think about it specifically.
Seeing their captain go to rest, the rest of the team members were also very tired and went to rest one after another.
Uncle Xiao was assigned a task along with two other frontline colleagues. When they were taken to the hospital for a physical examination, they watched Captain Dai's team leave.
They really didn't ask him anything else, which was quite amusing.
Although he was still a little confused about the passage that appeared on Sangshan Mountain and many things were unclear to him, he had stones and other things that he had obtained from the passage!
But now that he saw that Captain Dai's team didn't ask him about those things, he had no choice but to hand them over himself. After all, it was the result of his trip.
Uncle Xiao seemed to be really lucky. The stone left to him by the mutant fox contained a lot of spiritual energy, which was easily detected by the people from the research institute.
Coupled with the written task report submitted by Captain Dai's team later, the entire senior leadership was alarmed.
Nowadays, even leaders who didn’t like reading novels before will take a look at them when they have time.
The inexplicable passage that appeared on Sang Mountain, the mutated animals that appeared in the passage, and the stone containing spiritual energy that the other party was looking for, it was very easy to draw a conclusion in the end.
A mineral vein! A mineral vein that had never appeared on Blue Star before, and only appeared after this great upheaval, and it was very likely to be very beneficial for those with special abilities to improve their strength at this stage.
How could the leaders not be excited by the emergence of this news!
Ying Huai, who was in Daxi Village at the time, had no idea about the official news. He was currently sorting through the spirit stones brought back by Ali and Hu Hu.
He also needed spirit stones for cultivation, so he instructed the village chief to bury the best intermediate spirit stones in different locations to create a formation for Daxi Village.
Later, he distributed some of the spirit stones to the villagers, mutant animals and mutant ducks outside the village. Now, as for the remaining part in his natal space, except for a little bit reserved as a backup, he planned to use the rest.
He still had some hope and wanted to find out where the Way of Heaven was.
He hadn't been able to find it before, and Ying Huai guessed that it was either because the Heavenly Dao was too old and didn't want to move, or because his strength was not enough.
Ying Huai's strength plummeted to the bottom after he came to this world. It was hard for him to survive before the mutation. Looking for the way of heaven? What a joke.
But now it's different.
Ying Huai is now starting to cultivate again, and his cultivation speed is much faster than when he was in the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
With the addition of several spiritual energy enhancements, Ying Huai now has the strength he had when he was five hundred years old. He thought, if he couldn't connect with the Heavenly Dao at five hundred years old, maybe he could at six hundred?
Don't people in this world all like to say six? It's such an auspicious number!
