However, no matter what, when the typhoon completely passed and the weather cleared up, the Jiangcheng Base had gotten rid of the threat of mutant insects mostly.
Bai Xiaohu, who had been trapped at home for several days by the typhoon, came out for a walk. She ran to the city wall to look at the earth outside and saw the muddy and terrible scene with the accumulated dirty water, as well as piles of slag from the burnt insects that could be counted by tons.
The soldiers guarding the border did not even try to come and chase her away, instead, they asked her kindly if she needed anything.
Bai Xiaohu rested on the top of the wall. As she looked at the busy people below, she couldn’t help asking: “What should we do with the slag from the burnt insects?”
Shi Jian, who was with her, didn’t know either.
“This slag is very nutritious. It is good to make it into feed or as fertilizer.” A clear and pleasant voice sounded.
Bai Xiaohu was stunned: “Feed? Fertilizer?” Just imagine that the slag from burning such ugly insects is eaten by chickens and ducks, and then those chickens and ducks are eaten by humans, or it got buried in the fields to nourish the growth of crops, and then these crops are eaten by people……
Rounding it off is almost the same as eating insects directly.
Bai Xiaohu’s expression was a little distorted. She turned her head and saw a handsome man wearing glasses and a white coat. He had a clean temperament and a scholarly aura.
Bai Xiaohu didn’t know him, but Shi Jian did. Before Shi Jian spoke, the other party stretched out his hand to Bai Xiaohu: “Let me introduce myself. I am Chu Huanian from the research center.”
Bai Xiaohu shook hands with him: “Hello, are you serious about what you said earlier?”
Chu Huanian smiled and said: “These insects are essentially proteins. Apart from their appearance, they are indeed very nutritious.”
Bai Xiaohu: “……” Bai Xiaohu silently moved away from him.
Chu Huanian laughed and said: “Just kidding, the genes of these insects have mutated. To prevent this gene from affecting humans, it is best to deal with them in a centralized manner and not let them seep into the soil and water sources.”
Bai Xiaohu looked relieved: “Is that so?”
Chu Huanian blinked: “You actually were convinced by this?”
Bai Xiaohu: “?”
“These insects originally came from the ground, and a considerable number of them must have died in the ground. After their bodies decay, they will still become nutrients for plants, and seeping into the groundwater is equivalent to entering the water source, so everything you eat in the future may have been contaminated by them.”
Bai Xiaohu: “……”
“But since we encounter this era, we have to accept everything this era brings, isn’t that right?”
Bai Xiaohu’s mind was full of the possibility that the water she would drink in the future might have been soaked in insects… It’s okay, she still has spiritual spring water.
Chu Huanian suddenly became serious: “It is all thanks to the things you provided this time, Miss Bai, otherwise the base would have suffered heavy casualties.”
Bai Xiaohu looked at him in surprise.
Chu Huanian smiled and said, “I have always been curious about Miss Bai. The flowers, plants, and trees that came from you. From the Thunder Tree at the beginning to the three plants that played an important role this time, they are all very special.”
Bai Xiaohu’s heart skipped a beat, then she raised her eyebrows slightly: “Why are they special?” She was calm and not afraid at all. Lu Ye was in the same camp with her. Even if she was exposed as a non-human, she had a friend to help her.
Chu Huanian said, “They all contain exceptional energy, do you know? Since the end of the world, the world has been rapidly regressing, and all creatures are degenerating and decaying. This is also the case with zombies. The mutation of insects this time is also a manifestation of their gene chains being forcibly disassembled and distorted. They seem to bring a signal of decay, collapse, and destruction.
But these plants you brought are outstanding. Although I can’t analyze their genes, they are powerful, spiritual, and full of vitality. They have a natural restraint ability against zombies and insects. It’s like a touch of the freshest air injected into this dirty world as if the rotten fate has ushered in a turnaround. ”
Chu Huanian’s eyes were filled with eagerness, and took out his hand from his pocket. His hand was slender and clean, and it was clearly a hand that should have held a pen and dealt with various experimental equipment all year round. At this time, he waved it forward, as if he was drawing a grand blueprint, and like a poet imagining: “I have a hunch that when they exist more and more in this world, the world will change for them.”
Bai Xiaohu was stunned and puzzled when she heard it. Ah, so my flowers, plants, and trees are this powerful?
And they can change the world?
How come I don’t know?
She felt that this person was a bit mysterious, and said a little embarrassedly: “Well, this world is pretty good. Not everything is degenerating. Like espers, aren’t they typical representatives of evolution?”
“Espers?” Chu Huanian shook his head, his eyes regretful: “People only see the power of superpowers, and think that espers are the direction of human evolution, but how can there be no flaws behind such a powerful and terrifying human body innovation? Rather than saying that superpowers are the result of evolution, it is better to say that they are a kind of incomplete stress product. ”
Bai Xiaohu blinked, not understanding: “What do you mean?”
Chu Huanian also blinked, moved closer, and said mysteriously: “Others think you are an esper, but I know you are not, so I advise you to break up with Lu Ye as soon as possible. Being with an esper won’t lead to good results.”
Bai Xiaohu opened her eyes wide: “Break up?”
Chu Huanian smiled: “Aren’t you two a couple?”
Huh? Are they a couple?
Shi Jian frowned and immediately stepped forward: “Don’t spread rumors. Our Captain Bai and Captain Lu of the Zhongyang Team are just ordinary friends. Everyone in our two teams can testify!”
Chu Huanian raised his eyebrows: “Is it? But everyone is spreading…”
“What everyone? Where everyone?” Shi Jian said coldly, “Do outsiders know more than our internal staff? The rumors outside are nothing but rumors. Captain Lu has personally refuted the rumors, you know? If you think that you can make them disagree by randomly provoking a few words, so that you can profit from it, you can give up. ”
She was aggressive, but Chu Huanian didn’t take it to heart, just looked at Bai Xiaohu’s face: “Is that so?” The word ‘couple’ was still spinning in Bai Xiaohu’s mind. After thinking about it, no, this is not the point! She frowned and asked: “Why do you say that people with superpowers are incomplete, what do you know?”
Chu Huanian said: “Tell me first, you and Lu Ye are not in a relationship?”
Bai Xiaohu felt that this person was annoying, what did it have anything to do with him? But she still wanted to get his answer, so she said: “Of course not.”
She looked past Chu Huanian and saw someone behind him, her eyes lit up: “Lu Ye, you came at the right time.” She said to Chu Huanian, “If you don’t believe me, ask Lu Ye, he has already refuted the rumor.”
Lu Ye, who came over because he saw Bai Xiaohu on the city wall and happened to hear the conversation between the three people, “……”
Lu Ye: I didn’t, not me, don’t talk nonsense
