lakeside.
The night wind blew, the wild grass swayed, and unknown insects in the grass screamed, and the sound was desolate.
Song He opened a plastic bag, squatted down in the dark, and waved an iron spoon to dig the soil.
The map shows that the entire lakeside is full of soil with potential bacteria, but the potential bacteria will definitely not be everywhere. He can only dig randomly. If a spoonful of potential bacteria happens to be dug up, the system will definitely have a progress reminder.
Not long after autumn came, there were swarms of mosquitoes by the lake.
Song He dug for ten minutes, raised his hand to see, there were seven or eight mosquito bags bulging on his arm.
"It's broken, I'm here to deliver supper to the mosquitoes!" Song He was annoyed, "I'll have to get some mosquito-killing medicine later on, and I'll kill all the mosquitoes on the earth!"
The mosquitoes ignored his threat and quickly bit him four or five more times on the neck.
Song He wanted to cry without tears, he was itchy all over, the local mosquitoes were too rude, they drank blood and drank endlessly, biting them with the lethality of stabbing the beehive!
But time was running out, and the itching could only be endured, and we continued digging desperately.
The iron spoon rubbed against the gravel, and sparks popped out from time to time. Song He is like an indefatigable groundhog, with an aura of digging through the earth.
Suddenly, a snow-white light came over.
"Child! What are you doing?" the old hoarse voice asked.
Song He was taken aback, the security guy didn't sleep in the morning? What kind of life are you playing with a salary of two thousand!
Looking up, the old man with gray temples was holding his mobile phone on the side of the road, using the flashlight function of the mobile phone to illuminate it.
The old man must not be a security guard, because he is in a wheelchair and his legs are obviously missing.
It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, but the old man's sitting posture was not as lazy as ordinary disabled people. Instead, he was full of energy and spoke forcefully, like a cavalry riding a horse!
"Who are you? Are you a university teacher?" Song He was full of doubts, "You are not sleeping at home in the middle of the night, what are you doing by the lake in the dark?"
"Smoking! The air by the lake nourishes the lungs, and smoking here won't hurt your body!" The old man deceived himself, shaking his other hand, sparks from the cigarette butt flashed in the night, "What are you doing?"
"Dig the soil!" Song He continued digging sullenly, "I buried a classmate here."
The old man was silent for a few seconds, then raised his phone, "Hello? Is it the police station?"
"Don't, don't! I'm joking!" Song He said quickly, "Old man, are you stubborn, don't you have a sense of humor?"
"If you don't tell the truth, I'm going to call the police. You are sneaky and digging around in the middle of the night. You are very suspicious!" The old man shook his phone threateningly, his tone half-joking and half-serious.
Song He sighed, "Dig soil for scientific research! It's a serious matter, old man, don't make a fuss! If the security guards come to arrest me, the fine is trivial, but the delay in scientific research is serious!"
"What kind of scientific research are you doing, you brat?" The old man was obviously interested.
"Old man, don't look down on people. I am young, and my knowledge reserve is more than your lifetime!" Song He snorted, "Antibiotics! Do you understand antibiotics? Many antibiotics like penicillin cephalosporins are found in soil."
"Antibiotics?!" The old man raised his voice an octave.
"That's right."
"You kid wants to study antibiotics?"
"That's right."
"Just use the soil from the school lake?"
"That's right."
The old man chuckled twice, and then burst out laughing. The bold laughter swept across the lake, and the chirping bugs fell silent in shock.
Song He was annoyed, "I've been putting up with you for a long time, old man! Even the butt of a cigarette can't stop your mouth! There's so much nonsense, don't disturb my sacred work!"
The old man couldn't stop laughing, coughing, "A child, who wants to develop new antibiotics, the way is to dig soil beside the school's artificial lake? If you live a long time, you can see all kinds of absurd things!"
"Wait for the news! Once my antibiotic comes out, it will definitely be a sensation. It is a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic that can kill a variety of superbugs, and it is stronger than the existing antibiotics on the market!" Song He said in a bad mood.
The old man laughed for a long time, shook the wheelchair and left, "Silly boy!"
"Stinky old man!" Song He scolded.
The old man's wheelchair stopped for a while, and continued to laugh, "The next time you see me, I hope you can still call me a stinky old man."
Song He's digging action paused.
From this tone, the old man is also from the school?
There must be no such person in the School of Biology, and even if there is, I wouldn't be afraid, after all, Dean Lou is the biggest official. Maybe the old man is the head of the entire Jinghai University?
Song He smiled and continued digging.
The head of Jinghai University didn't hesitate at all. The old man must have thought that he was a college student and he could do whatever he wanted, but he was actually a high school student passing by to study!
Old man, what can you do to me?
Didn't expect that? This wave I am in the atmosphere!
The mosquitoes continued to bite, and Song He felt that he was going to be anemic. Just when he doubted whether the method of digging to see the progress was correct, the system suddenly popped up the blueprint.
The progress bar rises, from 5% to 6%!
found it! He quickly opened the plastic bag, put the spoonful of soil he had just dug into it, and then frantically dug seven or eight spoonfuls at the position just now, and put all the moist soil he dug out into the bag.
The progress bar rises again, 7%!
The soil map of potential bacteria has changed. Song He's position at the moment is the north side of the lake. With just a few spoons down, the red highlight on the north side disappeared instantly, and only the south side of the lake remained red.
Song He sighed and ran to the south side to continue digging.
Mosquitoes came to bite in batches, wantonly.
"Brother, don't drink, I'm almost done!" Song He begged.
He realized what it means to be really uncomfortable all over the body. He felt that his whole body was bitten by mosquitoes. He hoped that these wild mosquitoes did not carry any infectious diseases, such as dengue fever or malaria.
Suddenly, another snow-white light beam shone.
"Next!" The wheelchair old man appeared on the side of the road and shook his hands violently.
Something flew over like a cannonball, Song He hurriedly raised his hand to grab it, and with a snap, his hand almost fell off!
"Old Deng, what are you doing!" Song He was startled and angry. He lowered his head to see the things in his hand, and suddenly changed his attitude, "Oh! Dear old man, thank you very much!"
A bottle of mosquito repellent toilet water.
The old man in the wheelchair smiled, shook the wheelchair and left.
"Leave a cell phone number! I'll treat you to dinner later!" Song He straightened up quickly, "I have a meal card for the faculty cafeteria!"
The old man waved his hand, "Silly boy!"
The wheelchair disappeared into the night. Although the old man had no legs, he swung the wheelchair with both arms faster than ordinary people, and disappeared without a trace like a ghost, mysteriously like a hallucination.
Song He wrung out the dew and poured it on his body, and the buzzing mosquitoes disappeared immediately.
What brand of toilet water has such a miraculous effect?
He looked at the bottle curiously, and was surprised to find that there was no brand, and it was a bottle of Sanwu product, and the words "special supply for internal use" were printed on the back label, which was quite bluffing.
...
It was daylight.
The pale morning light shone down, illuminating the meadow by the lake.
The whole lawn seems to have experienced a fierce battle, with bomb craters scattered everywhere, riddled with holes, and the turf has been overturned to pieces, as if dozens of groundhogs have made their homes here, digging so hard that it is impossible to see.
Song He was sweating profusely, and the iron spoon was already bent.
The progress reached 9%, and he accelerated crazily at dawn, and had to finish work and escape from the scene of the crime. He was caught by the security guards, and he was afraid that he would be beaten to death!
"Damn it, Song He, are you robbing graves?"
The fox-eyed senior who was jogging in the morning stood by the side of the road with a look of surprise on her face.
Pink sports shorts and a sports bra, sweaty long legs and a slender waist, and a healthy and sexy figure, even in a university full of beauties, she is outstanding.
Song He straightened up, and said seriously, "What are you talking about! You didn't even see me digging the lawn!"
Fan Tao was stunned, his eyes were suddenly blank, and he fumbled with both hands, "Oh! Why am I blind!"
"Thank you for doing two tasks, get me some breakfast, and get me a shovel!" Song He waved the funny little broken spoon in his hand, "Hurry up! I'm leaving school soon!"
Fan Tao agreed repeatedly, and ran away with long legs.
Song He watched her go away and heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he bumped into one of his own.
By the way, was it just the legendary peach hip? No wonder it's called Fan Tao, he lives up to his name!
After digging for another two minutes, I finally found the potential bacteria soil. The progress bar reached 10%, the red highlight on the map disappeared, and the potential bacteria by the lake had been wiped out.
But the excavation step on the black technology blueprint goes all the way to 20%, and you have to find potential bacteria elsewhere.
Panting, Fan Tao ran back, carrying a bag of steamed buns in her left hand, and a...two-meter-large shovel in her right!
"Damn it, where did you get such a big shovel?" Song He was dumbfounded.
"I stole it from the women's toilet. I don't know why there's a shovel in the toilet. It's been a long time since I didn't like it." Fan Tao handed him the bun, and ran to the lake with the shovel in his hand. "Okay, wash it off!"
Song He was stunned, "I'm going to take a taxi! How do I get this big shovel? It won't even fit in the trunk of the taxi!"
