Chapter 645 Self-healing materials!(1/2)
Not for sale anymore?!
After hearing the report from his salesman, Xin Disen, who was drinking tea and flipping through the newspaper, was stunned on the spot and stopped flipping the newspaper.
The salesman standing by the table nodded and said helplessly.
"Yes sir, we went to the frontline station of the Boulder City militia group and made a request to the group leader to purchase the remains of the fruiting body. However, they didn't even listen to the price we offered and blocked us directly from the door -
—”
"What's the reason?!" Cindyson interrupted him angrily, grabbing the armrests of the chair with both hands, and said angrily, "Don't they know that leaving the remains of those fruiting bodies alone will cause a serious plague?"
"This...I don't know," the salesman looked at the boss nervously and whispered submissively, "The reason they gave is that the alliance authorities took over these fruiting entities."
Cindyson was confused after hearing this.
Alliance authorities took over?
What do they want that for?!
In the prosperous Bugla Free State, Hindison Trading Company is just a small and inconspicuous company. Its only business is to supply raw materials for the production of synthetic food and organic fertilizers to the Free State's processing plants.
When the wave broke out in previous years, he would send people to Qingquan City to buy a batch of goods, and when they brought them back, they would make hundreds of millions of cloth dollars in profit.
The remains of those fruiting bodies looked like they were picked up for nothing.
Anyway, the poor people in the Bugla Free State don't care where the food they eat comes from, and food processing plants don't care about the source of nutrients.
It just so happens that Boulder City also needs to deal with the remains of those fruiting bodies, so his sale is undoubtedly a win-win situation for all parties!
Hearing that the wave after the warm winter would be stronger than in previous years, Cindyson not only borrowed money from the bank to rent more than 30 heavy-duty trucks and a hundred-person escort, but also personally led the team south to Shuguang City to prepare for the big task.
A preparation.
However, just when he was dreaming of getting rich smugly, the news brought back by the salesman he sent to the front line left him stunned.
He even found a buyer.
The Alliance told him that the remains of those fruiting bodies are not for sale!?
What a joke!
Although her fingers were shaking with anger, Sindison quickly calmed down.
As the saying goes, an arm cannot twist a thigh.
Facing the behemoth of the Alliance, a mere trading house is nothing more than an inconspicuous grasshopper.
Although he didn't want to see the business he had worked hard for many years go bankrupt due to liquidated damages and money that could not be repaid to the bank, Xindisen knew very well that head-on confrontation would definitely not work.
I can only think of solutions from other places!
Staring at his salesman, Xin Disen asked word by word.
"What about those fruiting entities? What do the Alliance plan to do with them?"
The salesman swallowed and whispered.
"I heard that they were all sent to the East District of Qingquan City by the alliance authorities... As for the specific purpose, I don't know."
Sent to the East District of Qingquan City?
Hindison frowned.
Did he remember that the East End was not an urban area covered by forests?
What are you sending there for?
Puzzled, Sindison pondered for a moment, then looked at his men and said.
"Tomorrow morning, take me to the eastern suburbs of Qingquan City."
The salesman nodded quickly.
"Okay boss!"
…
The next morning, Cindyson got up early and left the hotel with his salesman and several guards while it was still dark.
Leaving Shuguang City from the east, the group walked for more than ten miles and finally arrived at the edge of the East District of Qingquan City.
However, when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was shocked. He was stunned for a long time before he could hold back a word from his mouth.
"...What is this?"
I saw gnawers pushing carts filled with fruiting body remains, from the pile of corpses to the half-collapsed building on the side.
In the dark window, scarlet plaques could be seen slowly stirring - and that was exactly the shape of the incubator!
The guards standing next to Cindyson involuntarily clenched their guns, flipped the safety with their index fingers, and tensed their nerves to carefully guard the direction of the incubation room.
Gnawers really aren't worth fearing.
However, if a creeper, or even a tyrant, is added to the mix, things will get very serious... In such complex terrain, even experienced mercenaries dare not say that they have a 100% chance of winning.
In fact, there are actually creepers and tyrants here.
Not far from the incubator, next to an abandoned concrete building, a crawler on all fours was climbing straight up and down the wall covered with slime mold, carrying a large pile of bricks or a large bundle of steel bars.
They carry the bricks to the damaged part of the wall, where they are met by the drooping-headed gnawers, who place the bricks one by one on the damaged wall.
"They... are building a wall?" The salesman looked in that direction in surprise, and the guard on the side looked like he had seen a ghost.
"My God, the big-antlered deer..."
"When will those mushroom orphans build a house?!"
Cindyson said nothing, swallowed, took out a telescope from his arms, and looked at the waist of the concrete building, wanting to take a closer look.
Then he saw a scene he would never forget in his life.
I saw that the bricks were not piled on the cement, but on a layer of pale red fungus carpet.
The bacterial carpet was like a living thing, wriggling with tiny cilia. The moment it came into contact with the brick, the countless tiny cilia gripped the brick tightly, and then pale red bags grew out from the gap.
Clothes were removed and the moisture was removed, and the bricks were firmly fixed on the damaged wall.
Hindison was stunned by the scene in front of her.
The sun is really coming out in the west!
These slime molds are actually repairing human buildings!
What made him even more incredible was that Hindison unexpectedly discovered that the building repaired by slime mold was not very ugly, but had a unique natural beauty.
At least, it is much more beautiful than the dilapidated and abandoned buildings around it!
The pale red fungus carpet does not look ferocious or obtrusive at all. It is spread on the wall along the damaged gap, like some kind of artistic graffiti, which uniquely depicts the scars caused by the war two centuries ago.
recorded in a way.
The only suspense now is whether this house restored by slime mold can be inhabited.
Hindison asked himself, he didn't dare to live in it. Maybe the poor people in the Bugra Free State didn't mind the living environment, but he didn't want to be soaked in musty spores every day.
The salesman standing next to him was obviously the same, looking at the slowly repairing scars on the abandoned building and shaking his head.
"I would not live in a place like this... I always feel like it is like some kind of trap. Once people enter, they will be swallowed whole by it, just like a pitcher plant."
Several other guards looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Me too……"
"Unless you pay me."
"But can people really live in this kind of house? They don't even use cement."
"Regardless of whether it can be inhabited or not, now I finally know what the alliance's intention is in hoarding these fruiting bodies." Putting down the telescope in his hand, Hindison cursed with an ugly face, but there was nothing he could do.
Although I don’t know what method the alliance used to make those slime mold fruiting bodies work obediently, but that is everyone else’s business.
He had thought about ways to buy for zero yuan before, such as sneaking over at night, picking up a few trucks of fruiting bodies and running north.
Anyway, the Eastern District of Qingquan City is so big that the Alliance may not be able to discover it.
But looking at it now, this method is definitely not feasible. Those fruiting bodies are just like people with independent consciousness. I would never watch them loading the corpses of the same kind onto the truck.
Just when Hindison felt frustrated, the sound of an engine was heard not far away, and two motorcycles drove over from the street nearby.
Hindison and his party immediately looked over there and saw the Union flag on the motorcycle, and the emblem of the First Corps printed on the front of the motorcycle.
Four soldiers jumped off their motorcycles, stared at the strange group of people warily, and walked towards them.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Sindison said quickly.
"I am a merchant passing by here. What is the situation here? Why are there so many slime mold fruiting bodies-"
"That's none of your business," the soldier said with a cold expression. "The front is a military restricted area. Entry is prohibited without authorization. Now I ask you to leave here immediately, otherwise we will take compulsory measures against you."
