Natural disasters come: I become a big boss by picking up scraps

Chapter 161 Cordyceps

Some families whose houses were located in low-lying areas were directly submerged by the sudden flood.

During these ten days, the rain never stopped on the first five days. On the sixth day, although the rain had obviously become less, it was still intermittent.

The humidity in the air rises rapidly. When you wake up, your skin is wrinkled and the washed clothes never dry.

Not only can they not dry, but all the clean clothes that were originally placed in the closet and have not been washed also become wet, just like living in a tropical rain forest. Many people even suffer a relapse of rheumatism.

The situation of Ling Mo and his companions was relatively good. After all, they had eaten so many good things that a little dampness could not do any harm to them.

Moreover, during the previous game at sea, they collected a lot of water ferns.

Water fern can expel impurities from the body, and moisture is also a type of impurity.

Furthermore, the humidity in the air is high now, so Ling Mo absorbed the water energy stones that he had collected before.

A person can only absorb up to ten water energy stones.

As the saying goes, good things should be kept in the family. Ling Mo planned to leave some for Xiaobai as food, and the rest for Ye Kai and the other two.

Ling Mo came to the window and looked at the scene outside.

With the irrigation of rainwater, the plants outside look different every day.

In just ten days, the scenery outside returned to its lush and vibrant appearance before the extreme heat.

however…

Ling Mo glanced at his phone. The extreme heat started to show signs in March and lasted for a total of four months, nearly five months.

On the tenth day, the rain finally stopped.

Because various situations were taken into consideration when the base was first established, this rain did not cause any damage to it. On the contrary, those who had left before are now regretting it to death.

Although it was not flooded, various weeds grew wildly everywhere under the irrigation of rainwater.

Long before it rained, Fu You told Xie Cheng about the insect plague.

Therefore, as soon as the rain stopped, the base organized people to go out and weed.

Ling Mo naturally responded to the call, but she did not go out. She first cleaned the grass at home.

Because of the continuous rain, the land was soaked with rain water, so these weeds were particularly easy to pull out. After a short while, a pile of weeds had piled up behind me.

Looking at the mountain of weeds behind me, isn’t this the fodder for cows and sheep?

During these few months, the number of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the space, both Blue Star and interstellar species, has increased very rapidly.

Now, Ling Mo can pick up hundreds of eggs laid by chickens, ducks and geese every day, and can also squeeze out a lot of cow's milk and goat's milk. He can't eat them all.

As the number of livestock increased, food became a bit scarce, so Ling Mo planned to deal with a batch of adult pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese first.

Now, the plan remains the same, but fodder still needs to be collected.

As for food, although the problem of soil pollution has not been solved, a lot of edible wild vegetables have grown in the past few days, and the food problem has been temporarily alleviated.

If we continue to trade food now, sales may be affected.

After much thought, Ling Mo decided to exchange half with food and the other half with repairing aloe vera.

A piece of repairing aloe vera is divided into ten-centimeter sections, and then put into the store for sale, with one hundred orders per day.

After editing the information, Jiang Xin and the other two also came out. After greeting each other, they began to deal with the grass in the yard.

Suddenly, Ye Kai shouted, instantly attracting the attention of others.

"What's wrong!!!"

"Bug, bug, it's quite big." Ye Kai's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was really scared.

Ling Mo frowned slightly when she heard the sound. She had just scanned the yard with her mental power and did not find any trace of insects.

Or have these insects evolved to the point where they can evade detection by her mental power?

Ling Mo, Jiang Xin and Fu You came to where Ye Kai was.

"It's there!"

Following the direction Ye Kai pointed, the three of them were shocked. It was indeed a big creature, about twenty centimeters long, with a green body, two tentacles on the top of its head, and yellow and black spots on its body.

But soon, Ling Mo discovered something was wrong, because her mental power still did not detect any fluctuations belonging to any living creature.

Through the feedback of mental power, the insect in front of him was actually a plant.

At this moment, the voice of "wait a minute" also sounded at the right time.

[Cordyceps: Wherever it appears, it will continuously attract insects and speed up the hatching and growth of insects]

No wonder she didn't notice it, it turned out to be a grass.

The other three also realized this and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that it was a little too early for them to relax.

Ling Mo turned to Ye Kai and said, "There's something wrong with this grass. Go inside the house and get the learning machine."

"okay."

Ye Kai ran back without saying a word, and came back after a while with something similar to a tablet in his hand.

After coming back, without Ling Mo saying anything, Ye Kai skillfully opened the learning machine, then scanned the grass in front of him that looked like a bug. Then, the information about attracting the bug grass appeared in front of several people.

After reading the introduction and efficacy of Cordyceps sinensis, Jiang Xin and others instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.

This Cordyceps is most likely the cause of the insect plague.

"Boss, tell the military about this immediately." Fu You said with a serious expression.

The Cordyceps in other places can wait, but the Cordyceps in the base must be dealt with first.

"it is good."

"Wait a moment."

Just when Jiang Xin was about to leave, Ling Mo suddenly called out to him.

“Bring the solution with you.”

As he spoke, Ling Mo brought the learning machine to Jiang Xin, and saw that the top search term was "Is Cordyceps sinensis poisonous? Can it be eaten?"

The answer given by the learning machine is that it is non-toxic and edible.

After eating Cordyceps, it can also eliminate parasites in the body, and any insects will stay away from it in the next three days. However, this must be done on immature Cordyceps.

When Cordyceps sinensis matures, its entire body will turn golden yellow, and at that time, it will attract a large number of insects.

After half a month, the golden yellow Cordyceps sinensis will turn black, which means that the seeds in it have matured.

After Jiang Xin left, Ling Mo immediately pulled up the immature Cordyceps sinensis by its roots.

"One isn't enough. Look around to see if there are any more." Ling Mo said to the other two.

After eating the Cordyceps, any insects will stay away from them for the next three days, which is crucial to the subsequent insect plague.
