Every day is one step closer to reality

After Uncle Wei left, the house was almost completely open to Pan Weining and Feng Yi.

In the past, the only things that Uncle Wei valued here were the meteorites in the underground warehouse, and nothing else of value.

Now, most of the meteorites have decided to change hands, and Uncle Wei has given them to Feng Yi in advance. There is nothing here that the owner cares about, and just a few people can do whatever they want.

Feng Yi and Wen Zhiyu were not interested in this house. Feng Yi wanted to study meteorites, but Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining both decided to go out for a walk. Feng Yi also went with them to see where in this town suitable for buying land.

Uncle Wei's meteorite hunter friend hasn't come back yet, so Feng Yi and the others drove around Tuojia Town first, but this time they didn't go to the shops to buy handicrafts, but to see the place.

If Feng Yi wants to buy land and build a house here, he must have an idea in mind.

As the car drove on the driveway, Wen Zhiyu looked at the buildings outside: "Another unfinished building that has been standing there for so many years. Who knows what might happen inside. Even if you buy it, it's best to push for reconstruction."

The unfinished buildings in the small town look particularly desolate.

Tuojia Town is not big, and there are not many traffic lights on the road. The road is smooth, and it does not take long to travel through all the main roads here.

A few people went back for a meal at noon, rested at home, and then went out again.

This time it was the direction out of town.

Their car was parked on the edge of the town. From here, they could see the town street scene and the Gobi Desert in the distance.

Several people got out of the car and walked around outside.

"Further along this road, there is a large lake. There is basically no shortage of water in Tuojia Town." Pan Weining pointed to a green belt and said, "But there are occasional power outages here. If you want to build a house here, you have to Be prepared for this.”

Feng Yi responded a few times and was about to say something when he suddenly paused.

He raised his head, discerning the direction of the wind and the changes in scent information brought by the wind, and frowned.

Pan Weining saw Feng Yi's expression was different and asked:

"What did you find?"

"In that direction, there may be some areas that are infested by rats." Feng Yi said.

Wen Zhiyu smiled and said: "It is indeed the nose of an expert from the Joint Security Bureau! You can smell it from such a distance!"

He said with a somewhat sad tone: "After the abnormal climate period, the natural enemies of rats have decreased so much. These rodents are prosperous! Every year, we hear about rat plagues, and the city is not very good. I can't stand it anyway. Every time these little guys make the most noise, I run to Mouse Villa!"

Feng Yi listened, and it took him a while to react, "Mouse Avoiding Villa? Where?"

Wen Zhiyu: "I'm not sure. Make a list of goals and compare them every year. Go wherever there are fewer rats."

Pan Weining looked in the direction Feng Yi was talking about, feeling a little worried. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to his uncle:

[Uncle, is there a rat infestation in the place you passed by? 】

There was no reply right away. After a while, a new message came over:

[Just received a pop-up warning! What a rat plague! Clustered! 】

Pan Weining was worried and dialed the number directly. This time the call was answered quickly.

Pan Weining: "Uncle, what's going on with you now? Where are you?"

Uncle Wei was relatively calm: "The road is blocked. Many cars on this road have received pop-up notifications and have temporarily stopped on the road. The windows have been closed now."

Having experienced abnormal weather periods, we have corresponding measures to deal with various disasters and provide timely notifications.

Where the rats were about to pass, vehicles on some lanes had gradually come to a halt in preparation for defense.

Just wait until the rat swarm passes. There are dedicated people who will take care of it, so they don’t need to be fussy.

If vehicles do not stop, rats can easily cause chaos and accidents as they pass by.

Uncle Wei spoke calmly, but Pan Weining could also tell that the situation was worse than he expected.

"Cluster? Is it so serious? Didn't we start taking precautions earlier this year?"

"There must be some places where the work was not done properly and was done perfunctorily, and now something happened."

After talking on the phone with Pan Weining, Uncle Wei looked out the car window.

This was not the first time he had experienced this kind of thing, and he didn't feel scared, just a little irritated.

Inexplicably irritable.

Perhaps the sudden encounter with a group of rats delayed his trip, or perhaps there was a period of waiting. The feeling of waiting is not pleasant.

Soon, black and gray or dark brown figures appeared in the line of sight.

Uncle Wei showed disgust.

The figures pass through the gaps between and under vehicles.

The closed windows blocked out a lot of sounds, and you couldn't hear the screams and roars from other vehicles.

Withdraw your sight and stop looking.

I was already feeling a little confused, but now I feel even more irritated when I look at those pictures.

Uncle Wei closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair to rest, and thought about some things quietly, such as the next investment and project plan.

He could ignore what was going on outside, but the two bodyguards were always vigilant.

Before setting off, they told Pan Weining that no one would block the way.

Indeed no one stood in the way.

But, the person blocking the road is not a human being!

They're trapped here by a bunch of rats!

I just hope the rat swarm passes quickly!

The bodyguard sitting next to Uncle Wei noticed the change and rushed over to protect Uncle Wei.

The next moment, the car body was hit!

It was a car from behind. It passed quickly from the sidewalk next to it, but it drove unsteadily due to the rats, and even scraped several cars next to it.

Uncle Wei's car was also scratched from the side. The impact was not serious, but the sudden impact made Uncle Wei unsteady. He was protected by bodyguards and did not hit anything. However, the box in his hand was damaged due to this accident. Falling due to impact.

After he recovered, Uncle Wei didn't pay any attention to what happened outside, but hurriedly picked up the fallen box.

When the bodyguard saw that his employer was fine, he continued to look outside. The car had already driven away, but there was no emergency vehicle behind him. But the driving recorder has memorized the license plate of that car.

Just when I was about to ask my employer how to deal with this matter, I saw his employer's face turned pale and looked like he was greatly shocked.

"Mr. Wei, what's wrong with you?" the bodyguard asked.

Uncle Wei ignored them.

At this moment, Uncle Wei was only staring at the refrigerator in front of him.

The refrigerator had been dropped just now, and the display screen showed that there was no problem. However, to be on the safe side, Uncle Wei still performed the self-check procedure to see if there was any fault.

However, the self-test program failed!

He is usually a calm person, but after all, he has experienced a lot. As soon as he discovered that there was a problem with the self-examination program, he had a bad association.

In the car, when the two bodyguards saw this, they did not dare to disturb him and breathed softly.

Uncle Wei looked gloomy and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

After pressing the button several times, Uncle Wei stared at the display screen on the refrigerator and trembled his lips. He was unable to speak for a while. Finally, as if he mustered up the courage, he pressed the password and opened the refrigerator. .

The heavy box is opened.

The temperature inside the box, which should be in a low temperature state, is about the same as the surroundings.

Inside was a small tube.

A small half tube of liquid is stored.

This is the "treasure" that Uncle Wei spent a lot of money, time and energy to get!

Uncle Wei took a few deep breaths and said to the bodyguard, "Where's the spare cooler?!"

His voice was trembling, as if he was suppressing emotions.

The bodyguard in the back seat quickly dragged out the spare cooler.

Uncle Wei pulled him over, opened the refrigerator, and adjusted the temperature and mode. However, I discovered that this was also an inexplicable malfunction! The display shows normal, but the temperature inside the box does not drop at all!

"I***!"

Uncle Wei slammed the box down, cursed angrily for two minutes, took out his cell phone and called the friend he had invested in.

When the call was connected, Uncle Wei's voice was tight:

"Um, do the treasures of the Ancestor Y series have to be stored at low temperatures?"

"Definitely, it is easy to inactivate when the temperature is high. What we are interested in in this project is some mysterious active proteins in it. If it is inactive, we can still study it..."

The person on the phone realized something was wrong and asked nervously:

"Did you forget to refrigerate it?!"

Uncle Wei took a deep breath: "I remember! I even specially prepared two refrigerators! But I didn't expect someone to tamper with my refrigerator! I didn't know until now that this thing is not refrigerated! I obviously put it away at that time It was still cold when I went in, and now it doesn’t work at all!”

The person on the other end of the phone asked in a trembling voice: "What's the ambient temperature over there?"

Uncle Wei looked at the thermometer inside the car: "24 degrees Celsius."

There was no sound on the other side of the phone, but you could hear rapid breathing, wondering if it was a shock.

Uncle Wei was furious. At this time, he was still very worried about his friend, fearing that he would be stimulated by the news and pass away.

"are you OK?"

"I'm not good!" the other side howled, "I finally waited for this! Wu——"

Compared with the other party's immediate collapse, Uncle Wei calmed down at this time. He said:

"The active substances inside may not all be inactivated. Maybe they are still okay? What are the characteristics of the Y series in the active state?"

The person over there thought for a moment: "If it's a transparent mixture, you can't see anything, but there may be a difference in smell. The mixture in the active state has a very sharp and cold smell. I don't know what to do. To describe it, if I really want to describe it, it’s like being slapped in the head and then standing on the Antarctic continent and feeling the bloody wind!”

Uncle Wei: "...let me take a look."

The other side said: "Do you really want to open it and take a look? Or you should take it to the laboratory first and then open it. After opening, it will be exposed to air and dust impurities, and it will deactivate faster."

Uncle Wei: "I feel uncomfortable because I'm not sure! If it's already inactivated, there's no need for me to drive so far to send it to the laboratory!"

He struggled for a moment and then said: "Then open it and smell it. Keep the phone on. I want to know the result as soon as possible!"

Uncle Wei turned on the speaker of the phone, put it aside, and took out the small tube placed in the box.

"The items are genuine, with anti-counterfeiting labels and protective buckles."

Uncle Wei said, removing the protective buckle on the small tube, using gentle force, and carefully unscrewing the small tube.

Then he leaned over and smelled it.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't hear anything and couldn't help but ask: "How is it?"

Uncle Wei: "It doesn't seem to have any smell, let alone the cold and bloody feeling you mentioned."

The person on the phone was extremely disappointed: "It's over...it's all over..."

Uncle Wei didn't speak anymore.

He held the small tube and looked out the window absentmindedly.

He didn't know whether to thank these clusters of rats. Without them, it might have been a day before he discovered he had been tricked.

"Nothing lasts forever."

Before setting off, he told his nephew that he would make a lot of money, but now, everything has become bleak.

I regret not being cautious enough, I regret letting people find loopholes to manipulate...

But all regrets are useless now.

He was still blocked on this road, watching the arrogant rats running around outside the window.

Glancing at the tube still in his hand, Uncle Wei screwed on the cap and said to the bodyguard in the driver's seat: "Turn up the ventilation."

In the ventilation system inside the car, the air sucked in from the outside has been filtered and disinfected through multiple layers to reduce the occurrence of diseases.

The turbid air with various smells in the car is exhausted from another pipe.

"Although this 'baby' smells odorless, no one knows whether it will cause any harm to the human body. If there is more ventilation, no one knows when these rats will disperse..."

Uncle Wei looked out the car window and his eyes narrowed.

Outside the car, the group of rats that were scurrying around arrogantly fled as if they were suddenly in danger.

There was an empty area around where their car was. Any mice that come from behind will make a big circle to avoid this place.

Uncle Wei:! ! !

What the hell? !

Does anyone around here use rat repellent?

Look at the vehicles in front and behind you, and then compare the surroundings of your car.

Uncle Wei looked away from the window and landed on the small tube in his hand.

After waiting for a while, the "empty area" outside the window gradually shrank, and the rats of the rat group approached again.

Uncle Wei unscrewed the cap of the tube but kept staring outside.

Soon, the approaching rats began to panic and avoid them again, and the "empty area" that had just disappeared appeared again!

Uncle Wei swallowed and closed the lid.

After a while, it opened again.

Close again.

Open again.

Looking at the rats outside: panic - calm - panic...

Uncle Wei's face was still pale due to the blow just now, but at this moment, his originally dark eyes were surprisingly bright, as if a ball of fire was burning.

He picked up his phone and told his investment friend, "I suddenly have a new idea!"

…

In Tuojia Town, Pan Weining, Feng Yi and the others were still looking at the Gobi scenery outside.

Wen Zhiyu was talking to Feng Yi about the techniques for finding meteorites. Feng Yi had never come here to look for meteorites before, and all he had was theoretical knowledge, while Wen Zhiyu still had some practical experience no matter what. Whether it is reliable or not is another matter.

Pan Weining was absent-minded, thinking about his brother-in-law.

I don’t know what’s going on over there now.

Ding--

The new message reminder on the phone was from Uncle Wei.

Pan Weining quickly opened it to check.

Uncle: [Xiao Ning, something happened here with my uncle. I have a new idea and I plan to give it a try. There are some risks, and I don’t know if it will work out in the end. If it fails, the paintball club can only buy you two-fifths - only the ‘paintball’ but not the ‘club’. 】
