At this time, Yan Shu was staying in the underground laboratory.

On the operating table, there were twenty dissected rats, ten male and female, side by side.

Yan Shu first checked the leftover food in their stomachs and found hairs of the same kind in their stomachs, indicating that the rats were cannibalizing the same kind.

In addition, seven of the ten female rats were pregnant, and three of them had rat pups already formed in their bellies.

Yan Shu then conducted a blood test on them, and unexpectedly discovered that the blood samples of these twenty rats contained "aphrodisiac" ingredients.

If this happens to only one of them, it can also be considered that they accidentally ingested the relevant herbs.

But all twenty of them won the bid, which would be really interesting.

Yan Shu stood in front of the test table and pondered for a moment, then turned and walked back to the testing room, where he again conducted genetic testing on twenty rats.

As she expected, the "aphrodisiac" in the bodies of these giant rats would be passed on to the blood of the next generation.

Rats and humans have many similarities. They do not have a fixed estrus period. A male rat can go into estrus at any time as long as it feels like it.

The mother rat has a very strong fertility. She can give birth to fifteen to twenty pups in one litter. The gestation period is only 20 days. The most terrifying thing is that it only takes two months for a pup to reach adulthood.

Once the external environment reaches the conditions for rat reproduction, rat infestation or even plague will break out.

Yan Shu discovered through the anatomy of the giant rat that the rat infestation was most likely man-made.

Someone must have cultivated a batch of zero-generation rats, allowing them to produce large numbers of offspring and reproduce rapidly from generation to generation.

At present, it has only been inherited to the first and second generations. Judging from this reproduction rate, a terrifying number will soon develop.

She was powerless to control the rat infestation, but she could leave Nanwei Mansion before the rats became a problem.

After leaving the laboratory, Yan Shu went to the fields to dig some potatoes, sweet potatoes and green vegetables and put them in the kitchen for consumption on the road.

After finishing these things, he stepped out of the space.

Glancing at the figure beside her, Liu Wenniang usually slept deeply at night.

Yan Shu slowly lay down and was about to close his eyes and sleep, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the tent.

She sat up quickly, stretched out her hand to open the curtain and looked outside.

In the dark night, a familiar figure was walking towards this side.

After seeing the person coming, Yan Shu's guarded heart dropped, he stood up and walked out.

Jiang Ci heard the movement in the tent and looked up, and saw Yan Shu coming out.

"It's so late, sister-in-law, haven't you slept yet?"

Yan Shu glanced at Yan Ersheng and the three Yan brothers. He didn't want to wake them up when he spoke, and pointed to the fire that was still not extinguished.

"Let's go over there and talk."

Jiang Ci nodded.

The two walked to the fire and sat down, and Jiang Ci added some more firewood to it.

Yan Shu felt a little hungry, so he took out a few sweet potatoes from the space and threw them into the fire.

"I just went to the space to check the condition of those giant rats, and found that their blood contains aphrodisiac ingredients. I suspect that someone is behind this rat infestation deliberately."

"Sister-in-law, what you mean is that someone gave Shu Shu aphrodisiac drugs? But it is not easy to hunt a large number of Shu Shu in a short period of time."

Yan Shu explained: "This medicine has a genetic effect after being taken. Just through reproduction, the same aphrodisiac can be present in the bodies of future generations."

Jiang Ci lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

If the rat infestation was caused by man-made things according to what the little fox said, that person should have started planning all this a few months ago.

Who will the opponent be?

What is his purpose?

"Right now, people in the entire Nanwei Prefecture are fleeing. The government is unstable, the world is in turmoil, and the government is ineffective. I'm afraid no one will come forward to control the rat infestation. If it is left to fend for itself, the consequences will be disastrous."

Yan Shu said warmly: "What we can do now is to speed up the journey and try to leave Nanwei Mansion before the rat plague breaks out completely."

It is conceivable that the entire Nanwei Mansion may become the Kingdom of Shuoshu in the near future.

An army of billions of rats rushed past, leaving no grass growing wherever they went. Humans at that time were like ants in front of them.

Yan Shu picked up a wooden stick and played with the sweet potatoes in the fire, and asked casually.

"Where did you just go?"

Jiang Ci retracted his thoughts, took out a jade pendant from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Yan Shu.

"Blood jade? Will your seventh uncle give it to you?" Yan Shu reached out to take it with some surprise.

The jade was cold to the touch. Judging from the texture, it was a good piece of jade. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.

"Someone kidnapped Xiaoliu tonight to threaten Uncle Qi with the blood jade. Fortunately, I arrived in time to save their grandson's life. Uncle Qi probably gave me the blood jade because he thought I was reliable."

The little fox always respected the seventh uncle, and he didn't want the little fox to know that he had threatened the old man.

Yan Shu did not doubt Jiang Ci's words, but focused on the group of people trying to snatch the jade pendant.

"Not many people know that the blood jade is in the seventh uncle's body. How could he be targeted so quickly?"

A woman's face couldn't help but appear in my mind, and I had some guesses in my heart.

"Is it Xie Yishuang?"

Jiang Ci said in a deep voice: "This blood jade is originally a sacred object of the Witch Clan, and Xie Yishuang happened to appear at this time. This group of people today must be related to her."

Yan Shu returned the jade pendant: "This thing is a double-edged sword. Please remember not to use it unless absolutely necessary."

"Leave the jade pendant to my sister-in-law for safekeeping."

"Leave it to me?" Yan Shu was quite surprised.

Let’s not talk about the connection between the blood jade and the witchcraft case back then. Just talking about the golden finger that the blood jade borrowed from the sky, it is difficult for people to withstand the temptation.

"If the person who came to snatch the jade today was sent by Xie Yishuang, she must think that the blood jade is in my hands at this moment, and will continue to send people to snatch it in the future. It is safest to put it in your hands now."

Yan Shu asked what he was thinking.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take it for myself?"

Jiang Ci's deep eyes carried a warm smile.

"This sister-in-law is not trustworthy, and there is no one in this world that I can trust."

When he stood up to block the fatal arrow for her, he had already surrendered his life.

Compared to life, what does this jade pendant mean?

Yan Shu's eyes were firm and bright: "I will definitely take good care of it for you."

Jiang Ci's analysis was very reasonable. The people who came to snatch the jade pendant all thought that the jade pendant was on Jiang Ci. No one would have thought that Jiang Ci would leave such an important thing to her for safekeeping.

Yan Shu directly put the blood jade back into the space.

"The sweet potatoes are baked."

Yan Shu used a wooden stick to pull out the roasted sweet potatoes. He was about to reach out to take it, but was stopped by a long and slender hand.

"Hot, I'll do it!"

the other side

Xie Yishuang glanced at the corpses on the ground coldly, his eyes full of anger.

"A bunch of trash."

She originally thought that it would be easy to deal with an old guy, so she only sent a few men with average skills. Unexpectedly, they all died in Jiang Ci's hands.

"Jiang Ci, we are finally done with this relationship. Just wait!"
