Pollution throughout the territory

Noticing his expression, Yi Zhiyu didn't want to cause trouble and said: "Such fools are everywhere, don't pay attention to him."

Xia Ren didn't say anything. He glanced at the fat man, put on a blindfold and closed his eyes to rest.

Two hours later, they arrived at the first transfer station and the plane landed.

The fat man hugged the woman next to him and kept talking. Xia Ren followed him to the airport lobby and found an opportunity. When the woman wanted to go to the toilet, he followed him in.

Yi Zhiyu shook his head helplessly and could only stand at the door of the toilet with Tang Tangtang, guarding him to prevent outsiders from entering.

The fat man was about to unbuckle his belt when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey, I'm peeing."

Xia Ren said, rubbed his fists and stretched his body.

The fat man instinctively sensed something was wrong and asked, "What do you want to do? I've called someone!"

"Do you know my secret to staying cheerful?"

Xia Ren suddenly asked him an inexplicable question.

The fat man shook his head blankly: "I don't know."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a fist as big as a casserole that quickly occupied his entire field of vision.

"Taste the iron fist of the proletariat! Rubbish!"

…

…

Half a minute later, Xia Ren washed his hands and came out of the toilet.

"Practice martial arts can really make people feel good."

Yi Zhiyu looked at his watch and said, "The next flight is about to take off."

…

…

At noon, there was already some faint commotion in Dongpu City.

Last night, the foundation used a large amount of diluted water to purify the entire city to ensure that the pollution would not spread. However, those who died were unable to return home and see their loved ones.

Their families discovered their disappearance, and although the government helped conceal it, it was only a stopgap measure.

Moreover, the impact of the city closure is gradually emerging. If no measures are taken in the afternoon, unexpected and serious consequences may occur.

The housing agent and Niu Changshou were sitting on the rooftop of the outpatient building of Dongpu University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital, looking at the scene below.

Traffic has resumed here, but the hospital is not open. After a night of hard work, ordinary people can no longer see what kind of madness has been staged here and how many people have died.

"It's eight thousand people."

Niu Changshou suddenly sighed.

"To be precise, there are 8,761 people."

said the housing agent.

Nearly a thousand of them did not complete their mission of hatching larvae. Due to various accidents, they either died on the way here, or were run over under the traffic on the street. Some of them died on their own after being controlled. The struggle resulted in death from injuries.

"It's really unreasonable." Niu Changshou said again.

"Who says it isn't?"

The real estate agent looked at the sky: "But the good news is that only the first and second instar larvae pose a threat to humans, and only the second instar and adult worms can lay eggs, so we only need Being able to control the first instar larvae so that they cannot gather to form swarms will one day be able to completely eliminate them."

They have only roughly translated some of the main content of "The Digger", and the original version of "The Digger" has been sent to the research laboratory at the headquarters by courier from the Superman Association, and is still being interpreted in detail.

However, based on the information that has been translated, they have still gained a lot. At least now they can know that the source of infection causing atypical entomophobia comes from an ancient creature called the earth-burrowing devil insect, and they have initially grasped its transmission route.

It’s just that there is still a lot of key information that they don’t understand, such as susceptible groups, the probability of ectopic parasitism, the causes of hypersensitivity reactions, and most importantly, how to detect whether people are parasitized by larvae. Didn't show up.

These all need to wait for the headquarters laboratory to release results.

Niu Changshou smiled bitterly and said: "With so many people dead, it can't be considered good news, and... people will still die in the future."

Atypical insect phobia may have spread throughout the Blue Star. People who have been parasitized by the first instar larvae are almost certain to die. Even optimistic estimates suggest that to eliminate this plague, humans will have to sacrifice at least tens of millions of lives. .

"This is indeed good news. Don't forget, Blue Star has a population of nearly 20 billion."

Niu Changshou did not agree with his statement and retorted excitedly: "Human life is not just a number."

The real estate agent smiled helplessly, with some vicissitudes in his eyes, and said: "When I first joined the foundation, I was optimistic and believed that everything in the world could find the best solution. But after so many years, , as my experience grew, I gradually changed my original views.”

As if recalling some memories he didn't want to touch, he clenched his fists subconsciously and continued: "Many times, we try our best, even at the cost of our own lives, but we can only avoid the worst outcome. Appear. Therefore, being able to control this plague before humankind becomes extinct is an acceptable result."

After hearing these words, Niu Changshou calmed down a little, the anger on his face gradually receded, and his whole body calmed down again.

a long time.

"well."

All he could do was sigh helplessly.

After a while, Niu Changshou regained his energy: "That Xia Ren..."

As he was about to speak, the real estate agent interrupted: "There is indeed a purpose in contacting him. Maybe you have already seen how special he is."

"What the person above meant." Niu Changshou did not refute the last half of the sentence, but said directly.

Hearing this sentence, the real estate agent was a little stunned.

"Above Plague Scholar..."

If he remembered correctly, within the World Association of Supermen, Plague Scholars belonged to an extremely special position that no one had jurisdiction over. In other words, there is no one on Niu Changshou anymore.

Apart from……

It seems that Xia Ren's identity is far more complicated than he imagined.

"Can I ask, what... He told you?"

The housing agent couldn't help but wonder.

Niu Changshou hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, the real estate agent waved his hand again: "Forget it, I want to live for two more years, and it's useless to know so much."

Seemingly regretful, he reached out and took out a cigarette, stroked it twice, held it in his mouth, but did not light it.

Niu Changshou couldn't understand his habit and asked, "Why don't you smoke?"

"Afraid."

The real estate agent smiled.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

The real estate agent immediately threw away the cigarette, took out his mobile phone, and checked the text displayed on the screen.

"Delivered!"

He sounded excited.

After hearing these words, Niu Changshou's face relaxed a lot.

"Thus."

He glanced at the city below: "It's time for the people's riots to subside."

The insect swarm in Dongpu City has broken out and been eaten by crows. In theory, the epidemic here has been temporarily over.

The reason why the two of them haven't left yet is to solve the problem of the aftermath of last night's insect swarm outbreak - how to appease the families of the more than 8,000 people who died.

Now, the problem is about to be solved.

The two quickly went downstairs, and a truck had already driven into a remote area of ​​the hospital.

Several logistics personnel wearing Foundation uniforms opened the sealed carriage and unloaded a 3M×2M×2M rectangular lead box from inside, which looked like a huge coffin.

Then the lead box was opened, revealing a dry tree root lying in the box. The root was glowing withered yellow, and everything had even cracked due to lack of water.

Niu Changshou looked at the roots of the tree and murmured: "Is this a branch of the [Mother Tree of Compassion]?"

Li Wan, the leader of the logistics force, came over and asked, "Where to plant it?"

The real estate agent thought for two seconds and said, "Just plant it where you are."

"yes."

Li Wan waved his hand, and several logistics personnel began to dig holes in the ground under their feet with shovels.
