That night, many Bases learned about the mutant insects.
Some bases accidentally discovered the many strange insects in the soil themselves, but they didn’t take it seriously because the insects all seemed to be asleep, so slow, and still hiding in the soil. What threat could they pose?
On the other hand, the information received by most Bases came from the Jiangcheng Base.
Jiangcheng Base reported this important discovery to the Central Base immediately upon discovery. Then the Central Base spread it to the provincial and municipal bases.
Because the matter was of great importance, the private bases that were usually troublesome to the Central Base also received this information.
Unless the Base was one with zero communication channels with the outside world, only then it would be completely isolated from this information network.
Yingtian Base was such a base, but this base was not without conditions to do so. On the contrary, after the Yingtian Base retreated after the apocalypse, almost no one in the outside world knew about this base. On the contrary, the Yingtian Base can invade the communication networks of other bases and steal various information.
In addition, the leader of this base, as a book transmigrator, has obtained informations that even the intelligence network of the Central Base may not have the details of the Yingtian base.
However, this time, the Yingtian base did not steal any information about the mutant insects, because from today on, the Yingtian base has been fully engaged in the pest control operation and has no time to care about other things.
Ying Shiqin had long known the day the mutant insects would appear and the day they would break out. However, the mutation of the insects was only the beginning of the mutant species’ invasion, because the survivors were caught off guard and the insect tide was huge. This insect tide caused heavy losses to humans at the time.
So, Ying Shiqin considered this possibility a long time ago when he reinforced the base again and again. Almost all the land in the base was covered with thick cement, the walls were very high, and countless holes in the walls could release corrosive liquid. Including the land outside the base, something similar to an irrigation system was laid to spray corrosive liquid in all directions.
Humans finally developed this corrosive liquid a few months after the crisis. Its fatal corrosive ability to mutate insects led humans to walk out of the shadow of mutant insects.
Although Ying Shiqin saw this in the book, and the author also wrote out the main raw materials, it still took him several months to prepare this corrosive liquid.
This time, he will let people use the corrosive liquid in advance to reduce human losses, and this corrosive liquid will become an important prop for him to build his reputation and accumulate prestige.
Forget about the anti-infective medicine. The corrosive liquid that can save millions of people from the insect tide is the greatest invention that can change history and the fate of mankind.
Ying Shiqin, who had no idea about what was going on with the other bases, was still daydreaming as he frantically prepared this anti-insect liquid. While at Ningcheng, Lu Ye received a reply from General Xu, asking Du Jing’s troops to escort Bai Xiaohu back to the base.
“I know it’s not easy to travel in this weather, but please understand that the base is surrounded by mountains on three sides. If the insect tide surges down, it can’t be resisted at all. The base needs wood that is fatally attractive to mutant insects.” General Xu said solemnly.
“I understand, but the weather is bad and the journey is bound to be blocked. We can only guarantee that we will arrive within two days.”
“Arriving within two days is enough.” General Xu paused, “Then the wood…”
Lu Ye glanced at Bai Xiaohu, Bai Xiaohu made an OK gesture to him. Lu Ye smiled slightly: “Don’t worry, we’ll give you enough.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ye asked Bai Xiaohu: “Are you really not forcing yourself? There is no effective way to deal with mutant insects in this short time. That kind of tree is the only thing available at present, and the amount required is definitely not small”
“I know, don’t worry, I can provide it.” There are firewood trees everywhere in the space. To be honest, would one believe it if she says the volume can fill a city if she gets them all out? It’s just that chopping trees may be a bit tiring.
She glanced at Lu Ye. Well, he is strong, capable, and with powerful back muscles; he can be a good tree cutter.
“The amount needed this time is large and urgent, there is no way to cover it up, your space can no longer be hidden.” What Lu Ye truly wanted to say was that there may be many people coveting your space, and you may encounter some dangers, but I will be by your side to protect you.
Bai Xiaohu suddenly came forward: “Do you… think my sacrifice is a bit too much?”
Lu Ye looked at her and sighed: “I really feel sorry for always asking you to pay.”
Especially in his opinion, her efforts and gains are not equal.
But the person she helped was not just him, he had no right to say anything, let alone stop it.
“Then do you want to help me?”
Lu Ye immediately said: “What do you need me to do, just tell me.”
Bai Xiaohu laughed and whispered: “Do you want to visit my space?”
“What?”
Bai Xiaohu took his hand and concentrated: “Let me try it.”
Recently, the planting of the guard vine has provided her with a lot of merit points, and she estimates that she should be able to bring people into the space.
Sure enough, it really works. She winked at Lu Ye playfully: “Don’t be scared!”
The next moment, she pulled him into her spatial treasure.
Lu Ye was shocked to see the beautiful scenery in front of him.
One moment he was still in the room and the next moment he landed on such a vast world. Waterfalls are splashing on the mountain walls in the distance, a mirror-like lake in front of him, and birds singing and flowers blooming around him. Just like a paradise.
Bai Xiaohu stood behind his back and waved her hand in front of him: “Are you surprised?”
Lu Ye: “…Is this your space?”
“Yes, it’s beautiful, isn’t it?”
Lu Ye took a deep breath: “It’s beautiful.”
Bai Xiaohu raised a finger: “You are the first person to enter this space besides me.”
Lu Ye was moved and wanted to say something, but Bai Xiaohu conjured up an ax out of nowhere and said: “So, let’s start chopping trees.”
Lu Ye: “……”
“Didn’t you say you would help me? Chopping trees is not like pulling saplings. It’s very tiring. I don’t trust others and don’t want others to come in, so naturally, I can only let you work harder.”
Bai Xiaohu handed the axe forward, with a sincere face: “I’ll treat you to fish after chopping. There are a lot of fish in this lake. You can eat however much you want.”
Lu Ye took the axe with a complicated feeling. She always had this ability to bust his bubble when he was touched.
Lu Ye sighed and resigned himself to chopping trees.
He chopped for a long time until Bai Xiaohu realized that someone was looking for Lu Ye outside the house, and then took him out.
Lu Ye was chopping trees for so long, his whole body was steaming. The blood vessels in his arms became more obvious as time went by. He put down his rolled-up sleeves, calmed his breath, and went to open the door.
Du Jing was outside the door. He said, “Everyone is back. We will be on the road tomorrow morning. Do you want to discuss the details?”
As he spoke, he felt something was a little strange. Lu Ye’s hairline was shining with sweat, his face was slightly red, and his collar was soaked. This was the performance after exercise. His meticulous observation allowed him to draw these conclusions, but wasn’t he in the house the whole time? He glanced inside and saw the silhouette of Bai Xiaohu sitting quietly at the table and petting the cat.
He was suddenly embarrassed and felt he had come at the wrong time.
At the same time, he thought to himself, are they really in this kind of relationship?
But the type of relationship they have is none of his business.
Before answering, Lu Ye glanced at Bai Xiaohu. He felt that he was nothing more than a tree cutter now, and the land owner Bai Xiaohu waved her hand generously: “Go, go, come back early.”
Come back early to cut trees.
Lu Ye: “Okay.”
Du Jing: Do you have to be so reluctant to part with him for just this short time?
They discussed tomorrow’s weather and route for a while, and Du Jing let him go considerately. Lu Ye took the offer and went back without stopping. When he was about to reach the door, Bai Xiaohu popped her head out, smiled at him, and they entered the room together.
Du Jing’s adjutant who had just returned to the barracks from outside was surprised and asked: “Do they live in the same room, why?”
Another person who participated in the insect tide movement explained: “Miss Bai’s room has been visited by insects, and there are still one or two insects crawling out of the ground from time to time after it was unsealed. How dare the girl sleep alone? This is just a temporary measure. Don’t talk nonsense to ruin her reputation.”
Because Bai Xiaohu led out the insects in advance, warned the base, and provided medicine that can treat insect bites, everyone has a better impression of her, and this is said with sincerity.
Du Jing suddenly said: “They are originally boyfriend and girlfriend, what’s strange about living together?”
People opened their mouths wide: “Are they really boyfriend and girlfriend? Captain, how did you know?”
There is no need to ask this, anyone with eyes can see it.
Du Jing turned around and went back to rest, and asked everyone to disperse and recuperate, as they still had to travel tomorrow. But the news that the two were indeed boyfriend and girlfriend spread quickly.
On the other end, Baozi was in the room, trying hard to catch the signals that were sometimes good and sometimes bad, and sent messages to the newly created small group that definitely did not have Bai Xiaohu and Lu Ye.
Baozi does not eat meat: Comrades, we will go back tomorrow, so everyone should be careful when the time comes, and don’t mention the boss and Xiaohu’s relationship in front of him.
Goldfish: What’s going on?
Pan An is not as handsome as me: What do you mean?
Baozi does not eat meat: The two of them… it seems that there is no such thing. Earlier, I asked the boss if the wedding would happen soon, and he replied angrily not to mention this matter ever again. That tone was really true. I think they have no hope.
Pan An is not as handsome as me: No way? Didn’t Xiaohu run to find the boss overnight?
Baozi does not eat meat: Who said it wasn’t, but it might be a simple brotherhood? Or is there really something else?
Goldfish: Poor boss, he is still single.
Two Trees Forms a Forest: Then don’t mention it, lest it embarrasses them.
Baozi Doesn’t Eat Meat: Yes, yes, let’s inform everyone.
Original Author’s Note:
Others: They are a couple.
Zhongyang Team & Baishou Team: No, no, no, they are not, it’s all rumors, rumors! Internal information, absolutely true.
Lu Ye: ……
