"Come on, come oncome on" Standing in front of the mercury snake, the old military doctor shouted softly and waved repeatedly as if feeding a chicken. Such an amateurish technique made the faces of Chu Dong and others look embarrassed, but what was even more embarrassing was that the sneaky mercury snake tilted its head and looked at the old military doctor for a while, and then actually started to move its body gracefully. Crawling towards him with head held high. "Stop stop, stop, stop" When the mercury snake came within three meters of him, the old military doctor changed to a hand-pressing gesture. The mercury snake was stunned for a moment, and then he curled up and stopped. Then the old military doctor turned left, right, turned, rolled, left, right, forward, backward, and rolled. Chu Dong and others who were watching from the side felt tired and wanted to pounce on him and bite him. The military doctor took a sip, but the mercury snake kept moving obediently and seemed to be very happy. "Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled!" Having played with the mercury snake ladyor the mercury snake girl, or even the mercury snake lolita, the old military doctor finally came back to do business with his arms folded happily. For such an old man invited by a monkey, Chu Dong didn't know what kind of expression he should use to face him, so he could only reply in a dull tone: "Ah That's good, then we will start carrying the food immediately. By the way, take this 'Samael' away when you go back and see if you can let it go to the fields to eat pests or something." "Put it in the fields?" The old military doctor was stunned, and then immediately Raised an objection: "Chu Dong putting snakes in the fields may indeed be a good idea, but it may not be able to defeat those mutated insects, or even mutated voles that may appear, right? And mutated birds are also natural enemies of snakes. " Also Yes, what should I do if mercury is poisoned?¡± ¡°Try it, if you can¡¯t even defeat mutant birds, why use it?¡± Chu Dong waved his hand indifferently, and then replied: ¡°Mercury is the body of this snake? There should be no loss of components, otherwise the snake would become smaller and smaller. And we are just verifying this possibility. If the fire pit pest control method at night is effective, it does not necessarily have to be done. "It's placed in the farmland." "I think Chu Dong's decision is okay." At this time, the surgeon Ye Nian, who didn't speak easily, took the initiative and proved Chu Dong's correctness from another aspect: "Mercury poisoning." It mainly occurs when mercury vapor or mercury compound dust is inhaled for a long time during production. As long as we are not often close to mercury snakes, we don¡¯t have to worry about this problem. As for the mercury absorbed by plants, we can test the plants before eating them to roughly determine the mercury in them. Content. In addition, according to my observation, our recovery ability and immunity have been significantly improved, and our tolerance to various poisons should also be the same. Even if we really show clinical symptoms of acute or chronic mercury poisoning, as long as With timely treatment, you can recover quickly - but this is just my guess." "There is another point." Chu Dong, who received Ye Nian's support, nodded gently to him, and then took over the words: "Now. What we eat is not food grown in our own farmland, so there is no need to worry about mercury poisoning caused by this snake. The problem of mercury snakes has been settled in this way. If it eats mercury instead of living animals, We will have to figure out where to get food for it now. It¡¯s best to move it all before dark. The mercury snake will take it away when it¡¯s all done.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± After formally issuing the order, his team members immediately began to take action, regardless of whether they agreed with his decision in their hearts. Boxes of food, wine and various seasonings were moved downstairs and reloaded on tricycles. However, when carrying bags of food, they discovered a new situation. ¡ª¡ªIn a corner that was not dry but not humid either, there were five bags of rice that were already moldy. And this is not just ordinary mold. After removing the four bags of rice outside, the bag of rice placed in the innermost corner has been completely wrapped by mold. The green and black mycelium even penetrated the adjacent woven rice bag. , some of them even grew up to the wall, and they were densely packed like hairs. When they were pulled, they were pulled to long lengths, which made people feel terrified. In fact, when my sister was completely unprepared and moved away a bag of rice that had been invaded by mycelium but could not be seen from the outside, she was struck by thatThe mildew was so frightened that the bag of rice was thrown to the ground, and then a musty smell so strong that it almost made people faint rushed out, making everyone have to cover their noses and take a few steps back. . "How long has it been how come the rice has grown so hairy" Nie Chenxing covered her nose tightly, looking at the horribly moldy rice bag from a distance, her whole face wrinkled. Tuan, he said angrily. The hyphae pulled out from between the bag of rice that my sister threw away and the innermost bag of rice that was completely covered with mold were one meter long. An uninformed person would never guess that this was just placed there. Been here for less than a week of rice. "Look at this, even those 'Zongzi' in tomb-robbing novels are nothing more than this." Lincoln, the weapon nerd who was also holding his nose tightly, proposed a very appropriate comparison object, although none of the people present had ever seen "Zongzi" "¡ª¡ªincluding surgeon Ye Nian, but everyone who knows what "Zongzi" refers to thinks that the legendary "Green-haired Zongzi" and "Black-haired Zongzi" may be like this. "Ugh after you said that, I feel like I don't want to eat rice dumplings anymore." Beside Lincoln, the old military doctor retched and showed a disgusted expression on his face. His nephew dog and several other young people Everyone looked at him with quite surprised expressions. The old military doctor straightened up his back confidently and said proudly: "I have also watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Raiders", and I watched them on my smartphone. " "" Chu Dong ignored the old man who still had a young heart. He covered his nose and mouth with one hand, turned around and patted it with the other hand, and jumped back to his feet in shock. The sister next to her then greeted Lincoln, Nie Chenxing and others: "Come over and follow me to move the other three bags of rice away." "Eh? Chu Dong, forget it? There must be something inside the other three bags of rice. It's all gone moldy." Nie Chenxing tried to persuade Chu Dong to give up the three bags of rice with a grimace, but Chu Dong had no intention of eating the rice in it. "I came here to see how moldy the innermost bag of rice was. Don't wait any longer! Hold your breath and come with me to move it!" Chu Dong scolded Nie Chenxing softly, and then took a deep breath that was a little moldy. Taking the lead in the smelly air, Nie Chenxing stepped forward. In desperation, Nie Chenxing could only hold his nose and follow the others. Several men carefully pulled the edges of the three rice bags and dragged them aside, revealing the rice bags inside that were already covered with mycelium, and even the patterns and words on the woven bags could not be seen, including my sister. , the three women in the team were frightened back a step, but they can't be blamed for being timid. This thing is really too numbing, and Chu Dong himself actually wished he could stay away. After using Lincoln's knock-off version of the saber to cut open the rice bag dragged back by Chu Dong, everyone saw that most of the rice inside had been wrapped by mycelium, and the rest was almost covered with black spots and was completely It is impossible to eat it anymore. This is definitely not an ordinary mildew rate. It can only be because after the red light is irradiated, the microorganisms on the earth quietly began to mutate without human beings noticing. Chu Dong and others then returned to the tricycle to inspect various ham sausages, vacuum-packed foods, as well as boxed milk and sugary drinks. They found that some foods that may not have a clean production environment had also begun to spoil, but mold The degree of deterioration is much lower than that of the bag of rice. Perhaps the various preservatives added in it still play a certain role. "Since the food here has become moldy, the same is true in other places. If there is no stricter storage environment - such as thorough drying, sterilization and vacuum preservation, or the use of more powerful ultra-low temperature refrigeration equipment, even if it is stored in It¡¯s impossible for all kinds of food in warehouses and cold storages to be stored for too long ¨C by the way, there is no electricity now, and all the microelectronic equipment has been burned down, so warehouses and cold storages that rely on computers to automatically adjust temperature and humidity can¡¯t. There is no way to maintain that stricter storage environment. Sooner or later, the food inside will start to rot and deteriorate. It is less than two weeks since the red light appeared, and all kinds of food have begun to go bad. The survivors rely on the food of the past to survive. The idea of ??three to five years is still too naive" After confirming that this mildew was not an isolated phenomenon, Nie Chenxing showed a desperate smile, sighed in an unusually decadent manner, and then lowered his head and fell silent. " Others did not accuse him of deceiving the public and disrupting the morale of the army, because everyone had already felt that their future was bleak. Even Chu Dong could not be discouraged at all. Whether it is land,The ocean and the sky are all occupied by all kinds of strange mutant monsters. All microelectronic equipment and batteries are dead, food has begun to rot quickly, and crops in the farmland have been destroyed by mutant insects and mutant animals ¡ Is it possible for people to live such a life? Apart from lying in huge coffins made of reinforced concrete and waiting to die, do the surviving humans really have any other future? Chu Dong doesn¡¯t know, Chu Dong really doesn¡¯t know, but everyone doesn¡¯t know either¡ªor in other words, no one knows at all!
