198 Tell Me About Your King
The crisis outside had been resolved, but it was still not completely peaceful at the base. Bugs carrying the virus could be seen everywhere, and more and more people were infected. When everyone gathered together, they clamored to move into the underground city and asked the base to produce the medicine to cure the disease.
These people were only making trouble for their own survival. They were different from the survivors in the city, so the base could not kill them without a reason. They could only try their best to appease them. Just as the base was in deep trouble, there was finally some good news. A new type of pesticide had been developed, and the first batch had been produced. They could start spraying it on a large scale soon.
Zuo Mingdong sent someone to deliver the new pesticide to Du Yue and He Xing, and the two of them immediately put it to use. The difference between this new pesticide and ordinary pesticide was really like heaven and earth. At the very least, after spraying it on the cement floor, the bugs never broke through it again.
Zuo Mingdong had sent out quite a lot of bottles of pesticide. Everyone sprayed their entire houses inside and out, not letting a single corner go. This time, they could finally be at ease. They did not have to face the scene of walking out of the house and facing a floor full of bugs. Even though the bug disaster had been going on for a few days, Du Yue still had goosebumps all over her body every time she saw them. She felt nauseated and wanted to vomit.
Although not all the bugs were exterminated, they could enjoy two days of peace before having to spray the pesticide again. When the bugs came out again, they would spray the pesticide. The base had also issued an announcement, saying that the second generation of pesticide was being developed. They would try to produce it as soon as possible to eliminate all the bugs. The news of the newest pesticide gave everyone a sense of relief. If the second-generation pesticide could be successfully developed, everyone would be completely at ease.
In addition, the plague was gradually under control. Although not all the infected people were cured, at least the symptoms were much milder than before. There were no more new cases, and the panic and turmoil naturally calmed down. Due to the bug disaster and plague, most people could not go out to work, and they had no income. The base began to distribute food and water for free. As long as one showed one’s identity card, one could get clean food and water. The food that everyone could get was limited, but at least they would not starve.
As long as one could survive, there was still hope. After the situation in the base slowly improved, Zuo Mingdong sent a message. They had caught the people who had infiltrated the base. There was a total of 16 of them. According to the description, there were a total of 17 people who had barged in, and one of them had been killed by He Xing.
He Xing and Du Yue had been waiting. Now that they knew that the people responsible had been caught, they went straight to Zuo Mingdong after discussing with him. On the way, Du Yue asked He Xing, “If the person behind this is really someone from your galaxy, what are you going to do?”
“If he’s really from the same hometown as me, I’ll definitely go and meet him.” He Xing’s answer was within Du Yue’s expectations. If she were to put herself in his shoes and she knew that someone had been reborn like her, she would definitely find a chance to meet that person. As for what happened after that, she would only decide after meeting that person.
He Xing was riding the electric bike at a high speed. Du Yue sat in the back seat, feeling a little emotional. In her previous life, she had only ridden a few e-bikes. After her rebirth, she rode it quite often. No matter good or bad, she had different experiences in her two lifetimes. An electric bike was more flexible than a car, and it was not easy to attract attention. The only drawback was that it was too slow.
The two of them rode on the road for more than 40 minutes before they finally saw Zuo Mingdong. Zuo Mingdong had obviously been waiting for them. As soon as he saw them, he did not make any small talk and directly led them in. After passing through layers of security checks, Du Yue and He Xing arrived at a sealed room and saw the people sitting inside.
The survivors in the city were almost all dressed the same, so it was not difficult to identify them. “This is the team leader of this operation. He’s the one who knows the most. You can ask him directly if you have any questions,” Zuo Mingdong whispered into He Xing’s ear.
He Xing nodded and looked at the survivor. The man was injured, but fortunately, his life was not in danger. He Xing did not care about his injuries and said directly, “Tell me about the king you all talk about.”
The man raised his head and looked at He Xing. “Who are you? Why should I tell you?”
