Chapter 505: Underground Laboratory

Zhou Feng carried the mummy on his back, Zhang Mengdi and Xiaoli helped him hold the tool kit. The three of them walked out of the tomb hole in a circle and walked back in the direction of the village.

"So many mosquitoes! They were bitten to death." Zhang Mengdi scratched the back of her hands and face.

"Well, there are a lot of mosquitoes this year and they appeared very early, which is really strange." Xiaoli also scratched the back of her hands and face.

The yard where Zhou Feng’s family is located is far from the other families in the village. The nearest family is seventy or eighty meters away from his yard. The yard of Zhou’s family is covered with hills on three sides, and there is a natural entrance at the gate.

Some houses in the Zhou family yard are made of bricks and stones, and some houses are directly dug into caves for interior decoration.

"In order to do research, I have secretly transported a large number of instruments and equipment from outside in the past two years, bought a gasoline generator, and built a very modern underground laboratory. The most scarce thing at present is samples." Zhou Feng brought Zhang Mengdi and Xiaoli into the yard, locked the gate and came to the entrance of the underground laboratory.

Looking at the entrance of the underground laboratory, Zhang Mengdi suddenly became a little scared.

If... Zhou Feng is so crazy that he likes to play dungeon imprisonment, he locks her and Xiaoli in an underground laboratory and locks them up with iron chains, and then abuses them in various ways...

It's terrible to think about it!

And if this is the case, even if Teacher Wang finds out that she is missing, it will be difficult to come and save her!

I am not afraid of ten thousand in anything, just afraid of anything.

By the way, he locked the gate of the courtyard. Could it be that he wanted to attack them?

"I don't want to go to the laboratory anymore. You open the hospital door. I'm tired and I'm going back." Zhang Mengdi asked Zhou Feng.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Xiaoli looked a little reluctant.

"It's nothing, I'm just very tired and don't want to continue." Zhang Mengdi said something bad in front of Zhou Feng, so he could only lie and say that he was tired.

"I have a bed to rest in the laboratory. If you are tired, just sleep there." Zhou Feng asked Zhang Mengdi.

"Yes! Maybe my grandmother will give you a dream? Please!" Xiaoli begged Zhang Mengdi.

"Don't stand here, there are many mosquitoes. I have mosquito-proof curtains in the laboratory below, and there are mosquitoes inside, but there are no mosquitoes." Zhou Feng advised Zhang Mengdi a few more words.

"The black flower mosquitoes appear this year. I feel that the black flower mosquitoes are very powerful! They pounce on their body like bombers, and they will make a big bag when they bite it." Zhang Mengdi pulled the topic away, but she didn't go to the laboratory below. She wanted to find an opportunity to see if she could leave here after the topic was opened.

If you are imprisoned by a dungeon, it will be troublesome! Zhou Feng is a forensic doctor! If the doctor becomes too much, it will be terrible! They are playing with scalpels and chainsaws.

Not to mention scalpels and chainsaws, even if they were given injections, Zhang Mengdi was extremely scared.

"Bang!" Xiaoli reached out and killed a mosquito lying on her face. It was indeed a black flower mosquito.

...

"The scientific name of the black flower mosquito is Aedes albopictus, also known as the flower mosquito, flower foot mosquito, acne mosquito, black and white mosquito, etc. Outside Asia, he has a more commonly called name, called the Asian tiger mosquito. The reason why tigers are used to describe it is because this mosquito is fierce by nature and bites when he sees humans or animals. He especially likes to bite humans. He can bite the skin inside through his pants, and it has black and white patterns on it, so this name is still very vivid." The camera switched to the show, and a guest engaged in insect research explained to everyone.

"The mosquito that I bit Xiaoli just now was Aedes albopictus. It was a mosquito species that invaded China in recent years. Its origin is Southeast Asia and was transmitted with the increase of trade. Because this mosquito is very small and can fly, it may fly into the cabin of the plane and travel long distances in the cabin of the ship. This mosquito appears earlier in the coastal areas of my country, and inland areas usually appears first near the airport and then begins to spread to all sides. We did not see this mosquito when we were young. It was discovered near the Minjing Airport in the late 1990s, and now it has almost spread all over the country."

"Not only in our country, this mosquito has spread to almost the world. It has been reported that this mosquito has spread to more than 70 countries in 20 years and has formed a source of infectious diseases in Australia, Europe, Africa, North and South America and other places. The Americans even described the invasion of this mosquito as the most serious medical insect incident since World War II."

"Unlike the mosquitoes that have existed in our country earlier, Aedes albopictus is active during the day and bites whenever they see people. They are very ferocious blood-sucking mosquitoes. As long as people approach the breeding or habitat of Aedes albopictus, female mosquitoes will soon attract blood-sucking. In the shade, there are such mosquitoes, especially under shaded trees, grass, rivers, etc., so this mosquito now almost deprives people of the right to cool down in the shade of trees in summer, and seriously affects people's normal life and work."

"Aedes albopictus is the transmission vector of many diseases, especially dengue fever and B encephalitis. Recently, dengue fever broke out in many areas of our country. The main transmission vector of this infectious disease is this Aedes albopictus. That is to say, the continuous occurrence of dengue fever is all caused by this mosquito, so it is an urgent task to eliminate this mosquito."

"So how to eliminate this mosquito? Each of us can do our best. Since the larvae of this mosquito mainly grows in small areas of static water, such as water tanks, flower pots, jars, tires, bamboo tubes, tree holes, etc. Outdoors, almost all objects that can gather rainwater may breed Aedes albopictus. In addition, sewage and sewers are also prone to breeding of this mosquito, so try to dump the water in these things.

"You should wear more clothes outdoors where mosquitoes often appear, and you can also spray insecticides where mosquitoes often appear. But to completely eliminate these mosquitoes, the country may need to use the power of technology to eliminate them. For example, genetic modification technology may make these mosquitoes completely extinct." The guest of the insect industry ended his explanation.

"I don't support your point of view! Everything in the world is one thing that reduces one thing, and it's ecologically balanced. If there are no mosquitoes, then dragonflies may decrease, and birds eating mosquitoes will decrease, affecting the ecological chain. Although people live longer now, there are many diseases. Not to mention how much it has to do with genetic modification, it also has to do with pesticides, fertilizers, and various hormones. It's better to do less things that violate natural laws, otherwise humans will get closer and closer to destruction!" Another guest in the animal protection industry immediately refuted the views of the guest in the insect industry.

"What about other guests' opinions?" Xu Jichao interviewed other guests.

"If you don't support it, you may be happy for a short time. In the long run, what's the point? Those insects that specialize in eating mosquitoes will starve to death, right? The next level of food chain will be destroyed, and the final result may endanger society!"

"Every creature can find its own role in nature, just like every cell type in the human body has its specific role. Eliminating mosquitoes is irrational and can lead to serious ecological disasters. This is the most basic ecological principle."

"Mosquito bites can enhance human immunity, killing mosquitoes can increase people's exercise, which is beneficial to health. Finding ways to eliminate mosquitoes can develop human intelligence and take the initiative when fighting Japanese devils. If you really can't stand the harassment of mosquitoes, it is recommended that you go to the western part of China to work and live, and there are no mosquitoes on the plateau. Return to the central and eastern regions in winter, so that you will not see mosquitoes."

"Mosquitoes can drive away animals and allow grasslands and forests to be protected indirectly."

"The population of mosquitoes is huge and spread all over the world and exists for longer than humans. It should be a kind of insect that is very suitable for nature. It is hard to imagine that it can be eliminated and that this population will be withdrawn from the stage of history from now on. Even if it is modified its genes, it is unlikely to succeed. I think its existence must have its own reasons."

Other guests expressed their opinions one after another.

"I knew this issue would trigger resistance from many 'knowledge' people. I have been studying these insects all my life. I can say that your worries are redundant, and eliminating mosquitoes will hardly have global impact." The insect industry guest argued on the spot.

"Tell me what you think." Xu Jichao signaled to the insect industry guests.

"Mosquitoes represent a huge group of organisms on Earth, which affect the behavior of all living things. Mosquitoes act as a rich food source for insect predators and stimulate the evolution of all defense mechanisms. In fact, we may not notice their reduction at all. This is actually due to the petite size and rapid nature of mosquitoes. Even those species that prey on mosquitoes usually only treat them as supplementary food, and few animals will starve because of the decrease in mosquitoes."

"In many cases, there will be a competitive insect such as moths that are happy to replace the ecological location of mosquitoes. But we must admit that sometimes when moths cannot solve the problem of food and clothing, the disappearance of mosquitoes will eventually lead to the demise of fish or birds that feed on mosquitoes, which will lead to a chain reaction in the local ecosystem. However, mosquitoes do not really control any population, so we are unlikely to see any dangerous species restrained by mosquitoes."

"Our most likely weapon to eliminate mosquitoes is genetics, and medicine mist is unlikely to be successful. Researchers have made a major proposal to release genetically modified supermosquitoes into the wild to control populations. Once successful, we will use the weaknesses that are added to their genes without compassion to quickly eliminate them."

"Now, it is because many boring people like you argue that regardless of whether mosquitoes are essential species in biomes, there are too many risks to eliminate mosquitoes and cannot truly understand the long-term effects of such a huge activity. Therefore, research on mosquito elimination has been lagging behind in countries around the world, which has led to more and more rampant mosquitoes! In particular, Aedes albopictus, which has multiplied wildly in recent years to an unbearable situation, has seriously affected the daily lives of ordinary people!" The guest of the insect industry made a well-founded debate.

...

"The common people who are itchy when bitten by mosquitoes every day support genetic modification to exterminate mosquitoes!"

"Mosquitoes cannot bite these pampered expert guests, so they do not support extermination of mosquitoes."

"What a group of madame bitches! I really didn't expect that anyone would object to the extinct mosquitoes!"

"We should put these Virgin Bitches in the wild, where black flower mosquitoes are particularly dense, strip them naked and bite them for days and nights, and see if they are still regarded as Virgin!"

"Don't you think the show has gone off topic? This is "The Truth", okay? Why discuss mosquitoes?"

"Yes! Why do you pull mosquitoes?"

...

The on-site discussion about mosquitoes lasted only a few minutes, and the TV camera quickly cut back to Zhou Feng's yard.

"The black and blue-faced mummy that your grandmother became, in fact, I have some doubts that it is related to these mosquitoes. This mummy first appeared in the village twenty years ago, almost when the black flower mosquito appeared in the village." Zhou Feng heard Zhang Mengdi and Xiaoli mention the black flower mosquitoes, so he spoke a few words.

"This has happened before?" Zhang Mengdi widened her eyes.

"It's all hidden." Zhou Feng smiled bitterly.

"By the way, Uncle Qiang's youngest son also developed this kind of symptoms. Their family was unwilling to go out for medical treatment. The little guy was so pitiful..." Zhang Mengdi remembered something.

"It's not some kind of infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes, right? We were also bitten by mosquitoes. Will we become mummies?" Xiaoli's expression on her face became a little frightened when she heard Zhou Feng say this.

"How do you know that Uncle Qiang's son has this symptoms?" Zhou Feng asked Zhang Mengdi.

"We... just passed their house before entering the cemetery and saw it from their window." Zhang Mengdi looked at Xiaoli.

"You saw him appearing as a mummy?" Zhou Feng looked a little excited.

"Yes."

"I need a lot of samples now. Only after analyzing it in the laboratory can I be sure whether my point of view is correct. It would be better to have a living sample! If blood samples from Uncle Qiang's youngest son can be collected, it should be able to significantly accelerate my research." Zhou Feng seemed to be thinking about something.

"Let's go down to the laboratory! If you have anything to say below! I was bitten to death by a mosquito! I don't want to be a mummy!" Xiaoli urged Zhou Feng a few times.

"Let's go down." Zhou Feng said to Zhang Mengdi.

Zhang Mengdi hesitated for a while. She felt that Zhou Feng didn't seem to be too crazy like that. He should be really engaged in some research. The wind stopped tonight. After the rain in the Zhou family's yard, there were a lot of mosquitoes. Standing still, you could feel a large number of black-flowered mosquitoes pounce on your face. As long as there was an exposed part on your body, you would be bitten to an extremely itchy bit.

Forget it, let's go on. It shouldn't be so unlucky. Is it too crazy to meet someone who is imprisoned in dungeons?

Zhou Feng took Zhang Mengdi and Xiaoli into one of the rooms in the Zhou family's yard. After igniting the kerosene lamp in the room, he lifted a cover on the ground of the room, which was a narrow wooden staircase leading to the dark underground.

"I'll go down and turn on the light first. Remember to close the cover after you come down so that people in the village will not find out that we use electricity." Zhou Feng explained a few words to Xiaoli and Zhang Mengdi, then carried Xiaoli's grandmother's body and walked down under the wooden stairs.

"Let's go!" Xiaoli pulled Zhang Mengdi's arm and walked behind Zhou Feng.
