Chapter 1084: All Green Lantern Crabs Died

"Sister Qing, all the crabs in the pond are dead."

After inviting Xia Qing, Shi's mother and Yuan Yan into the cave, Zhang Wenshe, a seriously injured soldier in Territory No. 15 whose right leg was poisoned and had to be amputated, leaned on a single crutch and reported to Xia Qing the losses during the rainy season with shame.

The crab seedlings that the allies traded with the Tang family were not brought back to the territory after the second rainstorm. Zhang Wenshe, a retired soldier whose family was engaged in aquaculture before the natural disaster, had more experience in raising fish and crabs than the lords, so the lords paid points and asked him to help raise them.

Under Zhang Wenshe's careful care, the crab seedlings weighing more than a dozen grams slowly grew to the size of a fist, and the growth was gratifying. But in the recent heavy rain, all the crabs died in less than half an hour. After testing the water samples, Zhang Shi confirmed that the cause of death of the crabs was that the mucus secreted by the aquatic plants in the pool affected the water quality, causing the crabs to die of lack of oxygen.

Xia Qing stated the facts objectively, "After the natural disaster, the evolutionary directions of organisms are diverse, especially the green light organisms, which become very vulnerable after being separated from their native environment. The water plants you collected from the creek were fine, but the change in the environment promoted its evolution, which no one could have predicted."

After Zhang Wenshe accepted the task, he tried his best to find high-quality animal and plant food to feed the crabs. However, the evolution of animals and plants after natural disasters is often beyond the control of humans, so accidents often occur.

Shi's mother also advised, "It's not easy to raise animals now. We thought the chicks from spring had grown up, so we didn't bring the chickens in. Several chickens were lost during the rainy season."

Yuan Yan nodded.

The lords rented small particles of Yishi from the Qinglong team through Xia Qing to protect important crops and poultry in the territory, so they did not send the chickens over. Yishi blocked the killing element, but it did not block the smell released by the weeds in the passage, which lured the chickens in the territory to go crazy and hit the cages.

Zhang Wenshe still blamed himself, "I confirmed with Brother Huai that the Tang family used this kind of aquatic plants to raise crabs. I didn't control the water temperature well, and the disinfection was not done properly."

Zhang Wenshe had to have his limbs amputated due to poisoning, and the remaining poison in his body could not be completely eliminated, so he believed that it was the trace toxins in his body that caused the change in water quality and the evolution of aquatic plants.

Xia Qing didn't try to persuade him anymore, and asked directly, "Do you still want to raise crabs?"

Zhang Wenshe nodded immediately, "Yes!"

Only by being busy can he feel that his life still has some value.

Xia Qing nodded calmly, "Okay. When the crabs you raise are on the market next year, give us a 10% discount."

Zhang Wenshe was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Including him, 19 brothers who were seriously injured and waiting to die were taken to Territory No. 14 by Brother Yue and sent to this valley. So far, 2 people have died, have recovered, and there are still three left in the valley. Zhang Wenshe needs to take medicine every day so that he will not be tortured by the toxins in his body. He and the two seriously injured brothers in the valley are living one day at a time, and dare not think about next year.

But Xia Qing said he could live until next year, and he was sure that the crabs he raised would be available on the market...

Zhang Wenshe sniffed in a cowardly manner, puffed out his chest, and raised his scarred face, "I'll give Sister Qing a 30% discount. The extra 20% is to thank you for exchanging the killing agent for us brothers."

If it weren't for Xia Qing's mortality-reducing agent and Zhang San's special medicine, none of the 19 people would be alive today.

Xia Qing agreed, and then greeted the two seriously injured soldiers lying on the bamboo beds basking in the sun and Li Kai who was weeding, before going to check on his peanuts.

Yuan Yan and Shi's mother went to check on their two acres of land in the valley, where they planted crops such as spinach, potatoes, and peanuts.

The valley has a suitable temperature, high-quality irrigation water, and is protected by the Yishi. The peanuts planted by Xia Qing were not affected by the rain, and most of them grew well. Only the leaves of more than 150 peanuts near the cracks in the valley wilted and changed color. During the rain, the fungi outside the cracks in the mountain multiplied rapidly, and the spores released passed through the fine insect-proof net into the valley and landed on the peanuts.

Just like the evolution of water plants in the crab pond, which led to the death of green lantern crabs, the spread of spores and the damage to crops were also normal losses. Unless, like the fields in the territory, the large areas outside the valley cracks are often cleaned and disinfected.

If they did so, the valley would be exposed. Once the valley was exposed, they would need to send more manpower to guard the valley, which would not be worth the loss.

Zhang Shi, wearing glasses, came out of the laboratory and came to Xia Qing, who was checking the damage to the peanuts. Although Xia Qing's magnetic field was very calm, Zhang Shi still comforted her according to common sense, "Fortunately, all the peanuts grown here are yellow light peanuts."

Xia Qing responded, "I think these 30 or so plants should be able to recover and we can still get some harvest."

Zhang Shi followed Xia Qing to inspect the farmland and asked about the territory. "I heard from my third brother that it will take at least a month to treat the soil in the tunnel?"

What Zhang Shi was concerned about was not how long it would take to deal with the weeds in the passage, but whether it was safe for her daughter to walk on the passage.

The day after tomorrow, the Ninth Central School will open. Xiao Shiyi, who has already received her textbooks, will carry her schoolbag and walk more than 4000 meters along the corridor with Tan Qi to go to school.

Xia Qing explained, "The residual substances in the tunnel are harmless to the human body, but they will cause the roots and stems of plants to rot, so they must be thoroughly cleaned. This month, people walking on the tunnel need to wear special shoe covers, and cars entering and exiting also need to disinfect their tires."

The outer territory of the northern area can be entered and exited through the door next to the isolation zone, but the inner territory can only be entered through the passage. If the passage is blocked, a temporary passage will need to be opened in the inner territory.

Doing so would not only disapprove of the lords whose territories were expropriated to open passages, but others would also not dare to travel through other people's territories.

The natural disaster has completely changed human behavior and the way people get along with each other. Walking in someone else's territory or letting others come and go at will is something that humans who have survived the natural disaster for eleven years cannot accept, because the potential risks of doing so are too great.

After hearing what Xia Qing said, Zhang Shi finally felt relieved. He lowered his voice and asked another question, "I heard that Lord No. 14 was injured?"

Xia Qing nodded, "I also heard that he was seriously injured."

The fourteenth Lord Yan Meng injured his calf while rescuing people during the rainstorm, but he was not infected with the evolutionary bacteria because he received timely treatment. The reason why his wound could not heal was because he had been taking the body injury treatment potion developed by Liehuo.

Unlike the medicine for treating physical injuries developed by Zhang San, Liehuo's medicine only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. Long-term medication is required to maintain a good physical condition. Once the medicine is stopped, the body's function and resistance will decline rapidly.

Liehuo's medicine is very expensive, and Yan Meng relies on Liehuo to get medicine in exchange. Mie Shi suddenly attacked Liehuo after the third rain, causing Liehuo's normal operation to be interrupted and unable to supply medicine to Huisan North District 1 on time. Yan Meng, who was out of medicine, not only had a rapid deterioration in physical condition, but also had problems with his mental state.

The reason why Xia Qing was able to obtain this information was because Yan Meng and Feng Wen had an argument in Territory No. 14, which was heard by the people in Territory No. 15.

Because Yan Meng made a will, saying that if the child in Feng Wen's belly died before the age of 15, the child would not have the right of inheritance, and Territory No. 14 would be returned to the Territory Management Department. Now Yan Meng was almost unable to hold on, Feng Wen asked him to change the will, but Yan Meng disagreed, and the two quarreled every day.

Seeing that Xia Qing was also paying attention to this matter, Zhang Shi typed a line of words on his mobile phone for her to see. As expected, Zhang Shi did not sense any obvious emotional fluctuations in Xia Qing because of this news.
