Ye Han had a dark look on his face: "This is what I should say, right?"
"It doesn't matter, don't worry about these details!" Bai Xiaoting patted Ye Han on the shoulder with loyalty.
Ye Han suddenly felt like he had fallen into a ditch. This feeling was very subtle. He didn't want to let himself fall into it, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "Okay now, I have to buy a ticket again. Lao Zhou, the bus encountered a huge accident."
Does the bug count as an accident? I can buy insurance."
Bai Xiaoting rolled her eyes: "Money addict!"
Ye Han pretended not to hear and waited for Zhou Yun's reply.
Zhou Yun sighed: "I don't know whether the insurance will take care of it, but I know that you won't want to leave Jingjiang for a while."
"Ah? Why?"
Zhou Yun pursed his lips: "When we left the city, the higher-ups ordered the highway to be closed."
Ye Han immediately became anxious: "When will it reopen?"
"It's hard to say." Zhou Yun hesitated, then lowered his voice and said, "It won't be open for a while."
"Why?" Ye Han still didn't give up.
The consumption level in Jingjiang City was originally much higher than that in his hometown. Although the government severely cracked down on speculation after the emergence of the giant insect, prices in Jingjiang City were still rising rapidly. The prices of staple and non-staple food were rising every day. The little capital he had saved in the bank every day.
It's shrinking every day, and it can't cope with the level of consumption in Jingjiang City.
Zhou Yun glanced at his companions and said softly: "There are giant insects not only in Jingjiang River, but also in other places, but there are no serious casualties, so it has been kept secret."
Ye Han almost exploded: "What did you say!"
"You heard it clearly, do you need me to say it again?" Zhou Yun asked.
Ye Han looked at Zhou Yun blankly for a while and then asked blankly: "Isn't this the first time that the giant praying mantis appears?"
"Um..." Zhou Yun looked at Professor Qin hesitantly, "I don't know the details. I only know that the highway was very safe yesterday."
"Let me explain." Professor Qin coughed lightly, "Xiaoye, Beidu has issued several emergency notices in the past few days. Giant praying mantises have indeed appeared, but they are all short-lived and there are no records of harming anyone. Near Jingjiang City
This is the first time that giant mantises have appeared. They should have migrated from other areas. From what I know, the spread of giant mantises is very fast, unexpectedly fast."
Ye Han was very impatient: "Why do you run to the Jingjiang River after everything?"
"It's indeed strange." Professor Qin agreed, "Since the Jingshui Lake insect disaster broke out, giant insects have been found all over the country. According to the available information, the Jinghu Lake incident seems to be a dividing point. Before the Jingshui Lake insect disaster, giant insects were not visible.
Without water, they are rarely found; after the Jing Lake insect disaster, the frequency and quantity of giant insects showed a very obvious upward trend."
Ye Han scratched his scalp fiercely: "What kind of nonsense is his grandma doing? Where do these weird bugs come from?"
Professor Qin whispered: "We also want to know where they come from."
"Don't you have any clues?" Ye Han asked in disbelief.
The modern state machine's control over the entire country can be said to be the highest in history. Although it may not be possible to find out someone's eighth generation of ancestors, there is definitely no problem with three generations of ancestors.
It has been some time since the Jingshui Lake insect disaster broke out. The country must have conducted a comprehensive investigation during this period. If there were no clues at all, Ye Han would definitely not believe it. However, the information was probably highly confidential. With Professor Qin’s knowledge,
As a biological expert, you may not have access to this level of information.
As expected, Professor Qin shook his head and said: "As far as I know, there are no clues yet, but I found that giant insects appear irregularly and on a large scale, only this time in Jingshui Lake!"
Ye Han was suddenly startled and asked strangely: "What kind of discovery is there that there are no rules?"
"Of course there is no pattern, which is also a discovery!" Professor Qin smiled slightly, "At least we can speculate that the emergence of giant insects is not due to pollution or nuclear leakage in a certain place, but a large-scale mutation."
Ye Han thought for a while before he figured out what Professor Qin meant: "I seem to understand a little bit more. You are saying that the cause of the emergence of giant worms is global, such as viral infection, right?"
"It is possible, and it must be a virus with a long incubation period." Professor Qin nodded.
Ye Han took a breath of cold air: "Could it be cosmic radiation or something?"
"Absolutely not." Professor Qin said very firmly, "The scientific community has no ability to find out what is under the ground, but the observatories that monitor the sky have caught a lot of them, and the radiation has been discovered long ago. They couldn't wait until today."
"Then I can't think of anything." Ye Han spread his hands.
Bai Xiaoting snorted: "It's so easy to figure it out, but it's your turn?"
Ye Han bared his teeth and grinned: "Am I not compatible with you?"
Bai Xiaoting raised her eyebrows: "That's for sure, the person who can match me has not yet appeared."
Only then did Ye Han realize that he was speechless and simply ignored Bai Xiaoting's provocation: "Lao Zhou, we can't go on the highway, where's the railway?"
Zhou Yun thought for a while and said: "There is no problem with the railway. The giant insects will not be able to destroy the rails for a while, but it is very unsafe in the wild. The trains have to install guardrails."
"Great!" Ye Han let out a long breath, "That's great, I'll take the train."
"Isn't there no train service in your house?" Bai Xiaoting asked curiously.
"Let's change the car. If it doesn't work, just buy a tricycle and weld an iron frame to the car." Ye Han patted the car seat with a smile, "It's a pity that I'm too poor, otherwise I would buy an armored vehicle as a car and drive all the way.
go back!"
Giant insects are indeed dangerous, but that is only to unarmed ordinary people. With the current technology of mankind, there are many ways to deal with giant insects.
"Go ahead and dream, this armored vehicle is worth millions!" Bai Xiaoting said without mercy.
Ye Han was furious: "You're going to fight with me today, right? I..." Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly froze.
His line of sight happened to be aimed at a car window, and the helicopter flying several hundred meters away happened to be in this direction at this time.
Ye Han first saw the helicopter shooting towards the ground and firing. This scene had happened several times before, but this time it was different from the past. An emerald-green insect shadow suddenly shot up on the ground.
The height of the helicopter was one hundred and eighty meters, but the shadow showed no sign of falling. It actually soared up at a very high speed and quickly rushed towards the helicopter in the sky.
The helicopter discovered the insect shadow and immediately responded by raising its altitude. However, the flying speed of the giant insect was no slower than that of the helicopter, and its agility was even better!
Ye Han's expression changed drastically: "Praying mantis, it's mantis!"
