The next day, Zuo An'an woke up before dawn, the boy's fever had subsided, and his breathing was more stable than yesterday.

It took her a bit of effort to remove all traces of herself and began to arm herself.

Because she knew that there would be an annoying rainy season, she not only bought many sets of raincoats, but also bought a few wetsuits, she first wore the wetsuit inside, then put on rain pants, rain boots, wrapped the boy layer by layer, tied it to his back with a cloth belt, and then put on a large raincoat for herself outside.

To protect his head, she even put a children's helmet on him.

That way, as long as the water doesn't reach their chests, neither of them wants to get wet.

Zuo Anan saw that there was no problem, and then jumped down from the balcony.

The water outside is already very bad, and it is calf high in ordinary places, and the water level in the most difficult places to drain can even reach a person's waist, and the rain is still falling.

Rao is Zuo Anan didn't dare to be careless, he had to step on it step by step before he dared to go, so the speed was extremely slow.

Wait, what's that thing floating down the water?

Zuo Anan frowned and looked at the floating corpse that was soaked beyond recognition, probably because the body was not dug up after the earthquake, and it was washed out by the water at this time.

And whether this floating corpse is good or not should be in front of her, and it is stuck horizontally at the narrow intersection.

She flipped the boy on her back, her plastic-gloved hand holding up the iron rod that was used as a crutch, ready to break the floating corpse away.

"Wait! Don't move it, don't move it! ”

Suddenly, a male voice shouted, and Zuo Anan saw a person with white flowers all over his body...... The main thing is that the clothes he wears are very white, dazzlingly white, just like the protective clothing and biochemical suits worn by researchers in some science fiction films.

This person rushed over with difficulty while shouting, and he didn't care about talking to Zuo An'an, but only cautiously lay on the floating corpse, as if looking for something.

Zuo An'an was on a cane with an iron rod and so on.

It took a long time for this person to use tweezers to get something from the floating corpse, a white-flowered insect.

Zuo An'an's face changed suddenly, and he took two steps back, glaring at the insect with a wary expression.

The person on the other side took out four or five white insects in a row, carefully stored them in a glassware, and checked that there were no more insects, so he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and smiled at Zuo An'an...... His protective goggles are not visible from the outside to the inside, but listening to the voice, he is smiling easily: "I'm really sorry to scare you, but don't be afraid, this bug is not a pest, this is a bug that is good for us, they have a very powerful digestive system, and when we crack their genes, we may be able to modify a new type of bug that can devour garbage." ”

He also pointed to all kinds of garbage floating on the water, which cannot be drained away, and a big reason is that because of the garbage blockage, even the garbage that has been buried in the ground in the past has been washed out by the heavy rain this time, and if these things are not disposed of, the reconstruction work of W City will have a lot of obstruction and trouble.

Zuo An'an is not relaxed at all, even if it is the most beneficial insect in the world, the bear-like one that is long, it is Zuo An'an's natural enemy.

However, after listening to this person's words, she still breathed a sigh of relief, not because she was relaxed because she heard that this insect might eat garbage in the future, but because she heard that this insect had not been studied and was not artificially bred.

After the end of the world, because of the earthquake, because of the continuous rainfall, because of the rampant aging of the elderly, the whole world fell into a kind of chaos, all kinds of corpses and garbage piled up and rotted, breeding terrible epidemics. So scientists have to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise the population that has been severely reduced to less than one-tenth of the population will die of large-scale infectious diseases, and then humanity will really be finished.

Some scientists and doctors have invented various drugs, and there is a class of scientists who have discovered several types of insects and fungi with particularly strong digestion and decomposition ability, and research has proved that the genes of these insects and fungi have been mutated, and scientists have extracted effective genes and cultivated a new type of fungus through genetic engineering, called "scavengers", as long as a handful...... A small number of "scavengers" suspended in a small test tube is enough to make a mountain of garbage disappear.

This is a great thing, but you must know that in this world, mass is conserved, and it is impossible for a pile of garbage to disappear out of thin air, yes, they have become the energy of "scavengers", and they have given birth to "scavengers" that are larger than the original garbage mountain!

Zuo An'an thought of the earth-shattering tragedy two months after the end of the world, even if his heart was strong enough, he couldn't help but shiver, feeling goosebumps all over his body, looking at the white worms in the glass jar of the other man, he couldn't help but show a trace of palpitations in his eyes.

"You're going to study this?" Isn't this kind of research just a month after the end of the world, when the garbage problem is particularly prominent, and scientists start to study it? And the first successful study and the "first scavenger test" took place in the capital.

Fortunately, it is in the capital, and the military is strong, otherwise the huge group of "scavengers" can swallow up the entire capital overnight...... That thing is definitely no less powerful than an earthquake and an aging person's destruction, or even devastating.

"yes." The other party still smiled easily, revealing a bit of honesty and pride, and he was not guarded against Zuo An'an, "A few of our professors have been eyeing the garbage problem for a long time, and they can't wait for this rain, isn't our W city a disaster-free area, it just happens to be the best place to do research, and we have applied with the capital." "There will be experts sent over there to support you!

Really!

Zuo An'an's face sank.

A weak chicken city like W City, doing this kind of deadly research and experiment, who will resist and who will carry the accident?

Zuo An'an opened his mouth, but what did he say? Now shout at people that this is something more terrifying than nuclear weapons, who will believe it, it's no wonder that people don't arrest her as a madman!

However, the man was very happy after catching the worm, took the initiative to get the floating corpse away, and said to Zuo An'an: "You can come over, I'm sorry to delay your time." ”

He reached over and wanted to help Zuo An'an, but Zuo An'an was willing to touch his hand that had caught the worm, even though they were both wearing gloves.

When Zuo Anan walked over by himself, the man was shocked: "Eh, you are still carrying a child on your back, on this rainy day, how did you come out with a little girl with a child, the road is very difficult to walk." ”

Zuo Anan wanted to know the background of this man, and he would be able to know which group of people were studying the "scavenger" in the future, so he said: "No way, I came out yesterday to look for supplies, but I didn't expect to be trapped outside by the rain, and I don't know when the rain will fall if I don't go back today." ”

The other party nodded: "Yes, this rain is predicted to be several days." Then you must be careful, this rain is very poisonous, according to our statistics, almost one-third of the people in the city had rashes and dermatitis yesterday, and now everyone is afraid to travel...... Whichever way you go, I'll give you a ride if you stop by. ”

He saw that the girl herself was not very old, and her thin and small figure was almost drowning in stagnant water, which made people look very worried, not to mention carrying a smaller one on her back.
