Chapter 106 - 106

Chapter 106 Unraveling the ConspiracyAfter they eliminated the insects inside the house, they began to eliminate the insects outside, as the larger insects were slower to run.The insects that have just crawled out of the ground run very fast, no slower than cockroaches.The only way to deal with them is with medicinal powder.Su Xiaoyu took out a sack of medicinal powder from her spatial storage and handed it to Gu Lingxiao, instructing him to lead everyone in spraying the area around the house with the powder.When I bought this pesticide, the factory owner said it could kill any kind of insect, and that they would collapse within three minutes.She didn't quite believe it at the time, but she saw it for herself today. The countless insects died in less than three minutes, and the ground was soon covered with them.People with trypophobia would definitely faint if they saw this scene.They were all wearing masks and gloves, sweeping the bugs together with brooms and then putting them in bags.Gu Lingxiao could see from the wall that the villa next door was also in a flurry of activity; there was no medicine powder, and many people were injured.They quickly led people over to help, and it took about an hour to clean up the neighboring villa.At this time, Li Haitao also received news from the vegetable greenhouse that a batch of vegetables that was about to ripen had all been eaten by insects, and several people had been seriously injured.I felt incredibly heavy-hearted after hanging up the phone.Gu Lingxiao could tell something was wrong just by looking at him."Did the base suffer heavy losses this time?"Li Haitao nodded, "Those insects are picky eaters, and they've caused a lot of damage not only to the vegetable greenhouses but also to the warehouses."In short, all our efforts during this period have been in vain, and some people will go hungry again.They had hoped to trade vegetables for supplies with other bases, but now it seems their efforts have been in vain.Gu Lingxiao said, "Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that these things happened? Where did those insects come from? The temperature has already risen. If there were insects breeding in the soil, you should have discovered it long ago."Moreover, these insects grow extremely fast; they are not ordinary insects at all, but rather modified ones.Li Haitao also discovered something strange after analysis."You mean this insect plague isn't a natural disaster, but a man-made one?"Gu Lingxiao: "Definitely, it was definitely caused by human intervention."Li Haitao felt that if it was caused by human intervention, then it would be a serious matter, so he immediately arranged for the security team to begin a thorough investigation into what had happened in the past few days.When insect infestations occur, everyone is afraid. If you go to their door and ask, they will spill the beans and tell you everything that has happened recently.After investigating, the most suspicious person was Su Daqiang, who had been acting suspiciously lately and always carrying a bag.Because he was in charge of cleaning, no one else paid much attention to him. If you were to say that he could wander around the entire base, no one but the cleaning staff would be able to do it.I find it suspicious.Li Haitao then had Su Daqiang brought to him and search his house.The search revealed another problem: the man was missing.When the insect infestation occurred, everyone saw him come out, but now he has disappeared.Several bags of black powder were found under the bed in his house.They took it to the lab for analysis without knowing what the substance was.It took a whole day of analysis to determine that this black substance might be an extraterrestrial object.It has a powerful effect on cell growth and can rapidly promote cell growth.Then the lab staff took the black substance and experimented on the insects. They discovered that once the insect eggs were soaked in it, the same effect occurred as with the insects before; the food they ate would continuously grow.Continue until your body can't take it anymore and it bursts.This is definitely a major discovery, because despite the insect plague, no one from any of the bases has left.Gu Lingxiao had Li Haitao secretly investigate this group of people again, and sure enough, they discovered a problem.The group was arrested because they found this black powder in the luggage of the Eastern Basemembers.There are 5 people in total.After being subjected to severe torture, they finally told the truth.It turned out that their Base Commander had instructed them to deliver the black powder toSu Daqiang, along with a letter.They said that once Su Daqiang saw it, he would do as they requested.They didn't know what was in the letter, but Su Daqiang did as he was told.The black powder was discovered by people at the base in a cave. The quantity was large, about two tons.After discovering its usefulness, Base Commander collected the black powder.Li Haitao was so angry that his heart ached. The base he had worked so hard to build had to be started all over again because of these despicable people.Gu Lingxiao instructed him to contact the leaders of the other bases and warn them to be on guard.The news arrived just in time. After receiving the message, the leaders of those bases immediately began their investigation and, sure enough, they found the black powder.However, it was nipped in the bud before it could even be launched.Given what happened, Eastern Base must give these bases an explanation.The truth was exposed just like that. Su Qingnever expected that her father, who had come from afar to seek refuge, would be sitting at the table eating.They ate the meat in their bowls with gusto, even pouring the soup into the bowl; their eating manners were incredibly unsightly.Furious, she could only slam her fist on the table, "How could things have been exposed like this!""How would I know? I did as you asked, scattering the powder everywhere, and those little bugs crawled out of the soil."Then they gave me a good beating. I sensed something was wrong and slipped away beforehand, otherwise they would definitely have caught me! Su Daqiang finished his rice and then brought the bowl of rice to his face."That bowl is too small, not enough to eat, a basin is much better!""Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?" Su Qing looked at her father. Just six months ago, he was the manager of a company with tens of thousands of employees. What was his demeanor like back then?They're no different from beggars now.Su Yan put down her chopsticks and looked around at her sister's house. There were photos on the table, showing her sister holding a child.The girl looked a lot like his younger sister when she was little, which gave him a guess.Just then, a little girl walked in from outside the door, looking exactly like the one in the photo.Lin Yao thought the room smelled terrible, so she quickly ran to her mother's side."Mom, who are they?!"Su Qing, barely suppressing her anger, picked up her daughter and said, "They're distant relatives."Su Daqiang also noticed the child in her daughter's arms at this moment; the child looked so much like her daughter when she was little."What's wrong with this child!"Su Qing could only tell her daughter, "I still have things to take care of here. Go and play with Brother Xiaolei!""But I don't like playing with him, I like playing with Xiaowei." Lin Yao felt that her mother had changed.Compared to her pitiful appearance at the beginning, she now looks somewhat unfamiliar, and there is no emotion in her eyes.
