Chapter 862: Secretion (II)
"What about you? What are you doing here? Did someone get injured?" Bai Meiyue looked at the bandages in Meng Suisui's hands and could not help but frown. Did something happen when she was not paying attention?
Meng Suisui looked down at the bandages in her hands and sighed heavily, "What else? There were some women who were too excited and ended up getting injured. However, their injuries are not severe, and they will be fine after a few days' rest." She hurriedly added when she saw Bai Meiyue's frown deepen even further.
Only then did Bai Meiyue feel a bit better. She then smiled and praised Meng Suisui, "You have done a great job in motivating these women." She had to admit that she didn't believe it when she heard Meng Suisui say that she could convince these women to work hard, but now she had a feeling that maybe Meng Suisui would be able to do what she couldn't.
Sighing, Bai Meiyue blamed herself in her heart. Though she wanted these women to work hard, she had never paid more attention to them. If she had paid attention to them, then maybe things would have never developed like it did before. It was a good thing Meng Suisui was willing to work hard for these women. Usually, not many women would be willing to waste their time by getting entangled in such a matter, but it seemed like she underestimated Meng Suisui's determination.
Sure enough, a second later, Meng Suisui puffed her chest out and proudly said, "Of course, I had to work harder. These women clearly had the vision and strength as well as the courage to fight the monsters and the zombies, but no one was willing to pay attention to them. How could I not pay attention to them? Look at how skilled they had become? Even if some of us were injured, I have to admit that they did a very good job while fighting those human-faced spiders."
Bai Meiyue nodded. She did not see the performance of these women, but from Meng Suisui's description, it was quite exciting, and they indeed did a very good job. "Ask your team to rest; there is nothing for them to do for the next few days."
"It's alright." Meng Suisui waved her hand and said calmly, "There are seven teams that patrol the safe base for three to four hours; these women are getting enough rest, so there is nothing to worry about."
When Bai Meiyue heard this, she nodded.
"And what is going on with the survivors? They seemed to be collecting the human-faced spiders. I heard from the people on the watchtower; they had been collecting the human-faced spiders and cleaning the surrounding area." Meng Suisui recalled the discussion that she had heard when she was at the hospital and told Bai Meiyue about it.
"Is that so?" Bai Meiyue furrowed her brows. She had no idea what those people were doing, and truth be told, she was a bit curious. So she propped her hands under her belly and then walked toward the watch tower anyway. She was not feeling sleepy, and with her son tossing around in her belly, it would take a long time for her to sleep. So she might as well take a look at what those survivors were even doing.
When Bai Meiyue arrived at the watchtower, she was stunned to see her brother also standing there on the watchtower and to her surprise, her brother had also collected a bunch of human-faced spiders in the small bag next to him. Seeing everyone collect the human-faced spiders, Bai Meiyue was a little speechless.
"Big brother, what is going on? Why are you collecting the human-faced spiders?"
Bai Zhan had just finished collecting another human-faced spider when he heard Bai Meiyue's question. He turned to look at his sister with a surprised look in his eyes. "You, what are you doing here? Why did you not go to sleep?"
"Forget about sleeping. What are you doing? Why are you collecting the corpses of these human-faced spiders?"
"Because Doctor Chou just found out that the saliva of these spiders can actually help strengthen a material by ten times." Bai Zhan happily replied as he pointed to the corpses that he had collected. Though these human-faced spiders looked scary, the truth was that their secretion was a really precious thing. Doctor Chou asked him to collect as many human-faced spiders as possible so that they could collect their secretions before they dried up. This way they would be able to develop a medicine and then inject it into Bai Zhan's body.
Bai Zhan was sure that with the help of these secretions, he would be able to get stronger in the future. So, he happily collected the human-faced spiders.
"Did they find out about it too?" Bai Meiyue looked at the people on the base of the wall, who were collecting the human-faced spiders happily.
"They did; it seems one of them is also a scientist. He told them about his discovery and asked them to collect the human-faced spiders. Of course, it all started with them trying to clean the trash around the safe base," he hurriedly added as he was worried that Bai Meiyue would think that these survivors were only working so hard because they wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Bai Meiyue nodded. Sure enough, as long as a person was willing to work hard, heaven would come to his aid sooner or later. Just look at these survivors; even though Bai Meiyue did not let them inside the safe base, they were worried that they would have to live under the feeble tents where they would be trampled on by just about anyone. But now they had run into the human-faced spiders; with the secretions of these spiders, they would be able to build a bunch of rather strong houses.
With a good house to protect them from the wind and the rain, were they even worried about anything for the time being? At least it was better than nothing.
