Chapter 283 Decreasing Gang Members
Chapter 283 Decreasing Gang Members
The next second, the insect egg in Lu Youyou's hand underwent irregular changes. Something inside was pushing against the surface, and it was possible that it would break through the outer skin at any moment.
She disgustedly tossed the insect eggs out and quickly closed the ventilation window.
The ground was trembling, and poisonous insect larvae kept emerging from the small holes.
The molluscs were still very small and not very mobile. They either couldn't keep up with the speed of the RV or were crushed and burst by the tires.
But the winged insects were not so easy to deal with; they flew one after another to the window, accumulating more and more.
Fortunately, the glass was not damaged, so Lu Youyou was not caught off guard.
Some insects are attracted to light, so Lu Youyou closed all the curtains in the house, and sure enough, there were far fewer poisonous insects pattering against the car windows outside.
hum~
Your friend Zhenlu has sent you a gift. Please check it promptly.
Lu Youyou opened it and took a look.
[Insecticide *1: Only effective against small numbers of weak insects.]
After thanking Zhen Lu, Lu Youyou placed the insecticide in a prominent and easily accessible spot so that she could deal with any insects that successfully entered the area promptly.
She's not in danger right now, so she's going to check on the others. She's opening the public chat.
[I love my home 7892: I need an antidote! I didn't close the window in time and got bitten by an insect.]
[Miracle Little Year: At this point, only someone with the pill formula would dare sell you the medicine. Otherwise, who would? You could get poisoned just from a single insect bite, so wouldn't you need to keep plenty on hand?]
[Player 89909: I also got bitten and it shows I'm infected, but apart from feeling a bit sleepy, I don't have any other strange symptoms. Is it possible for my immune system to tough it out?]
[Xiaoyu: Look! Gu Jingchen is selling antidote pills in bulk at his shop, but there's a condition! Anyone who wants to buy the antidote pills must ask Lu Youyou to block them.]
[My husband is so good: Gu Jingchen is quite clever. He knows that even if a customer blocks Lu Youyou, there will still be times when they need Lu Youyou. But by having Lu Youyou block the customer, barring any unforeseen circumstances, that customer will never be able to buy anything from Lu Youyou again.]
[Red Dragonfly: Gu Jingchen is forcing us to choose sides. Once we choose him, although we won't necessarily become enemies with Lu Youyou, we'll no longer get any benefits from her.]
[Player 2999: @Sister Lu Youyou, please speak up! Ordinary people's lives matter too. We don't want to die in confusion, but we also don't want to offend you in a confused way! When big brothers and big sisters fight, can you please not involve ordinary people?]
【…】
In the ensuing chat, eight out of ten people were the ones who tagged Lu Youyou to express their opinions.
What could Lu Youyou say? She did have the blueprints for the panacea, but she couldn't gather all the necessary ingredients.
Having been in the survival world for so long, she has only successfully collected all the materials once.
Although she had all kinds of panaceas in her backpack, she kept them for herself or for gang members. She was worried that she wouldn't have enough, so how could she possibly sell them?
All she could do was reassure those people to buy Gu Jingchen's antidote.
[Lu Youyou: Anyone who wants me to block them can contact me now. I'll block those who see this first, and those already infected with the virus will be blocked first.]
[Red Lion: Big sister, are you just giving up like this? Do you really not have any antidote? We don't want to be forced to take sides.]
[Lu Youyou: What happened between Gu Jingchen and me is none of the business of ordinary people who want to live.]
Lu Youyou's words were not without reason; they were not only meant to contrast with Gu Jingchen's opportunistic behavior at this moment, but also to ensure she could sell her goods in the future.
She practically made it clear that even though she had blocked everyone, people could still find a way to contact her and ask her to unblock them.
Make money, not shabby.
A group of people who want to survive blocked me because they wanted to buy the antidote. It's not like I angered them enough to block them, so I won't do business with them for the rest of my life.
Clearly, the smart people on the public chat could understand, and even more messages flooded her private chat list asking her to block them.
Lu Youyou immediately had Xiao Lu block her with one click.
buzz-
A message came from the gang group.
Member Li Miao was blocked by the guild leader and automatically left the guild.
[Member Li Jinjin has been blocked by the gang leader, automatically...]
Ten system messages in a row, all from Lu Youyou, indicating that she had blocked him and left the guild.
[Li Jinyue: ??? Those people also went to the gang leader to block us? Have they gone mad?]
[Ding Yuxin: They just wanted to live so badly that they clung to every chance to survive.]
[Zhan Yu: I'm such a coward, I haven't even thought about leaving the guild. Those guys seem pretty active in the group chat usually.]
[Zhang Weimin: We can only share the good times, not the bad. It's better to see this clearly sooner rather than later. Since we have different stances, we can't say who's right or wrong.]
[Lu Youyou: Who still wants to leave the gang? Contact me quickly, before Gu Jingchen's antidote runs out.]
[Lu Youyou: If you quit now, I won't do anything to you. But if I find out you've betrayed me later, I'll personally skin you and feed you to the worms.]
[Wei Xian: Boss, do you have an antidote?]
[Lu Youyou: I only have the pills I've accumulated before, I don't have any crafting recipes. Since we've all gathered here, I'll reveal the truth: all the pills in my backpack are ones I've collected myself, I don't have any crafting recipes.]
hum~
Wei Xian has applied to leave the gang.
Lu Youyou laughed sarcastically. If she remembered correctly, Wei Xian's reason for joining the gang was that he had a grudge against Gu Jingchen.
I hope Gu Jingchen is more magnanimous than I am and can forgive past grievances and sell the medicine to Wei Xian.
Lu Youyou clicked "agree" decisively and blocked Wei Xian.
Several more people left the group, leaving only 35.
For a moment, no one spoke, and the group chat was as quiet as a stagnant pool.
The night is getting darker.
Lu Youyou fought off her sleepiness and sealed each window with tape before going to bed.
She didn't sleep well at night, waking up every one or two hours to check the tape and windows for damage.
And so, after many stumbles and setbacks, dawn broke.
Despite having dark circles under her eyes, Lu Youyou drank the coffee, which she usually found incredibly bitter, without batting an eye.
Great, I'm not sleepy anymore.
She pushed open the bedroom door and saw two blue treasure chests by the car door, which had been automatically picked up by the intelligent iron arm.
Open both at the same time.
[Two potted rosemary plants: Rosemary contains eucalyptol, camphor, and other components, and its aroma can repel insects.]
[Artemisia leaves*1: Total 1 jin (500g). Artemisia contains volatile oils that emit a special aroma that can repel common insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches.]
[Mosquito coil *1: Contains 500g, releases pyrethroids and other components when burned, forming smoke with insect-repelling properties.]
[Insect Net *1: The insect net has a scent that insects love, so they will definitely walk right into it.]
Lu Youyou pursed her lips, somewhat speechless.
The two rosemary potted plants, including the pots, were not even as big as her palm. Was she an adult when she started working?
And this mugwort and mosquito coils, they might not even work against ordinary mosquitoes, but they're sure to work against poisonous insects?
Lu Youyou didn't want to talk about the last insect net.
What is she going to do with the insects she caught? Eat them? Insects are poisonous!
wrong.
It seems the King of Rats can ignore poison?
