Chapter 1822: Summer in Fool Village (End)

Chapter 1796: Summer in Fool Village (End)

Whenever there is a simple solution to a complex problem in this world, countless people who are busy with it will feel that they are complete fools.

This is not meaningless, because their busyness like a headless fly will provide a joke for another group of people, that is, the people who live here to observe the various forms of life even though they know that this is Fool Village.

When Lex saw the transparent cover in Bruce's hand, he didn't know what he was going to say for a moment, and Bruce put the thing on the table with a "snap" in annoyance.

Lex leaned his head over to look, and only then saw a small flying figure under the transparent glass cover, it was a mosquito.

This made Lex dazed for a while, he felt that the greatest detective in the world might be driven crazy by the puzzle he couldn't solve.

Then, Bruce understood the fun of Schiller watching all this, watching a genius with a confused face asking "Are you serious?", "Why?" and "Why?" It was really funny.

If a group of people do this at the same time, the funniness will increase tenfold, so Bruce immediately gathered all the insiders and announced the answer to them.

"The killer in summer is the mosquito."

Everyone was silent, and then there was a series of "Are you serious?", "Why?", "Why?", which Bruce and Schiller were happy to see.

But the truth is unexpectedly simple.

Before, the people of Gotham couldn't stand the scorching heat of midsummer and fell one after another. Pamela couldn't stand the bad weather, so she gave Lex two pots of her newly researched guard plants.

These two pots of flowers are quite eloquent, but after chasing Lex for two weeks, Lex used his genius wisdom to improve the machine that controls the weather in Gotham, and he can artificially control the rain clouds to rain.

Note that the rain clouds used by Lex were made by himself, not naturally formed. The water in them is clean, without chemical pollution, and no acid rain.

And the larvae of mosquitoes live in water.

There were no mosquitoes in Gotham before, but the reasons are complicated. On the one hand, the temperature was not up to standard, and it became even colder after the construction of the underground cold storage. The blood-sucking mosquito species on the East Coast could not breed here.

On the other hand, there was a lack of water bodies for mosquito larvae to live. The water bodies in Gotham contained something that Mendeleev could write two million words on the periodic table. This was a bit too advanced for mosquitoes.

In fact, it stands to reason that insects have stronger adaptability than other animals. The sparrows in Gotham can evolve to the size of eagles, so mosquitoes should be no problem.

But Gotham's toxic water bodies poisoned the larvae of this kind of creatures, and the larvae were not so strong. Mosquitoes lost a very important part of their lives and reproduction, that is, a stable brooding environment. It can be said that they have been eliminated by nature.

But the sudden high temperature in Gotham brought an extremely hot summer, which is not a good thing for humans, but it has become a paradise for other life forms that have been silent for a long time, and mosquitoes are no exception.

The subsequent rainfall perfectly met the needs of mosquitoes to reproduce. Mosquito larvae grow happily in clean and unpolluted water sources, and it does not take a long time for them to grow into adults.

But other animals and even plants in Gotham are busy making things, so how can mosquitoes fall behind?

The water in the rain cloud created by Lex is not polluted by chemicals, but all the water bodies that can exist in Gotham are inevitably affected by the dark energy buried in the metal, so after a few days of existence, the rain cloud returned to the authentic old taste of Gotham.

When the number of mosquitoes increases, it is inevitable that a few lucky ones affected by this power will mutate, just like those sparrows and seagulls, but the uniqueness of the blood-sucking mosquito race is that its way of survival is to exchange body fluids with humans.

According to their racial talents, the mutated mosquitoes start with full virology and bacterial transmission, and have also evolved a toxin that specializes in the kidneys.

And completely ignored the rule that talking about toxicity without considering the dosage is a hooligan rule. As long as the mouthparts penetrate, it is inevitable like the will of the universe, and the disease is rapid and fast, and there is not much room for rescue.

The reason why the first ones who were infected were all members of the twelve families, and there was no conspiracy against the gangs, was just because these people had big gardens at home, and when it was really hot, they went to the garden to escape the heat, and the probability of being infected was naturally high.

And the lower-class people were not unaffected, but ordinary people would not attract much attention even if they died. There are so many people in Gotham who die in strange ways every day, so what if they have swollen Michelin tires? As long as they can be burned and the ashes are scattered in the sea, it’s not a big problem.

Only the gangs whose important figures died made a fuss about it. Even when Bruce and Lex were conducting a series of complex reasoning, some ordinary people in Gotham had already discovered that it was a problem with mosquitoes and began to organize mosquito eradication operations.

And Schiller discovered the truth in advance purely because of the cicada that Victor found outside the office.

At first, Schiller did think it was a serial murder case and conducted a serious investigation. He did not find any clues, and he just thought that the killer might have some special abilities.

But later, when he went to work at Gotham University, he found that Victor had kept the cicada in a transparent ecological tank, and then he was besieged by almost all the teachers in the group because the thing was too noisy.

No one else found anything wrong, but Schiller found that it was not that the species of this cicada was very noisy, but that this cicada and the other cicadas outside the window were a little too noisy.

While Victor was away, Schiller took out the cicada he kept in the ecological tank and studied it, and then he found that this small insect was likely to be polluted and mutated like other animals.

Pamela said before that the pollution of Gotham's soil came more from water pollution. All parts of the land where groundwater flows can easily breed plants that hit people. Then the larvae of the insect known as the "Seventeen-Year Cicada" that have been buried in the soil are also likely to be affected by water pollution and mutated.

This made Schiller start to think, did the insects that had never appeared in Gotham before become extinct so quietly?

Of course it couldn't be that simple. As I said before, the adaptability of insects is unique in the entire animal kingdom. It doesn't make sense that birds can adapt and mutate, but insects are expelled from the arena.

The only possibility is that they have been dormant quietly, waiting for the right climate to erupt on a large scale, and many insects are poisonous.

After this inference, Schiller still hasn't locked on to the specific suspect insect, but unfortunately, in order to repair the garden, Schiller has been active in the garden of the manor these days, and his chance of being infected is also very high.

So, a few days later, a mosquito that fell into the trap hit Gray Fog, and Gray Fog was startled.

Ordinary mosquitoes will not try to bite Schiller, because in their judgment, Schiller is not a human, which is equivalent to non-existence, but the mutated mosquitoes in Gotham also have the attributes of Gotham animals, that is, they dare to touch anyone they meet.

The mutated mosquito bit Gray Fog, but actually it didn't bite anything, but Gray Fog successfully captured it, and then Schiller knew who the so-called "Summer Killer" was.

After Bruce, Lex and Schiller's successive deductions, they finally completed the criminal trajectory of this little criminal for everyone. In short, mosquitoes follow their natural instinct to hunt humans, and stupid humans make a fuss about it and scare themselves.

"You can't say that. Gordon touched his chin and stared at the small glass cover, and then said: "The toxicity of this thing is still very deadly. It caused such a big mess when it bit the locals. What if it bites tourists?"

"I think we should introduce measures to prevent and control mosquitoes." Roy stretched out a finger and said, "We have so many talented scientists, we can always find a way to eliminate mosquitoes, right?"

"I think preventing mutation is the first priority." Bruce crossed his arms and thought, "Ordinary mosquitoes don't have such a strong killing power. As long as the mutated mosquitoes don't appear, humans are safe. "But Gotham is such a hell of a place, even the plants raised there will attack people. How are you going to block the ubiquitous dark influence?" Pamela turned around and asked. "Perhaps we can find a way to create a city-wide water purification system." Lex suggested: "As long as we change the water frequently, we can ensure that certain toxins in the rainwater do not accumulate to a concentration that causes mutations, and naturally we can prevent the generation of mutant mosquitoes." "Will mutations be inherited?" Bruce frowned: "Perhaps we can manipulate them at the genetic level, so that mosquitoes with mutant genes cannot reproduce, and we can effectively limit their number and harm." "That's too far away. What we need now is to eliminate these mutant mosquitoes." Roy brought the topic back to the point and said: "We can't let them bite tourists and important people attending the music festival." "It's a bit too difficult to kill mosquitoes throughout the whole process. If it's in the early stages of reproduction, it's okay. Now they have become a climate. Do we have to kill them manually? "Gordon shook his head, looking troubled.

Schiller's sigh interrupted the discussion.

Everyone turned to look at him, and Schiller looked around at everyone else and said, "Haven't you learned a lesson from this case?"

"What?" Bruce asked.

"Nature is the most powerful killer. Her unintentional creations are much smarter than the most intelligent serial killers in human beings."

"So what?" Gordon still asked in confusion, but Pamela seemed to have understood Schiller's meaning and nodded.

Schiller stood up from his seat, looking like he was about to leave. He looked back at the calendar hanging in the office and said, "Summer is almost over. "

After saying that, he turned and left. Gordon and the others were still a little confused.

But Pamela looked out the window at the plants that were gradually becoming less lush. The deep green had become lighter and darker. Instead, the mountains in the mist in the distance were dyed with brilliant orange and purple.

"Autumn is here. The summer killer won't live long."

Gordon suddenly realized, and Pamela said with emotion.

"Nature is indeed the greatest killer. It can destroy a race in an instant and revive them in the next reincarnation, turning life and death into an art that exhausts the magnificent imagination of life."

"And the self-proclaimed genius of humans is nothing more than fools chasing after the four seasons. This entire civilized society is nothing more than a small village in the endless mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and a fragment of the belly of nature."

"And if we say that the difference between humans who are busy running around for her little eye waves and Kun Yu Lin Jia is probably that the green of all things and the red of all living things have never set foot in the field - in the summer of Fool Village, it belongs to the Midsummer Night's Dream of Gotham people."

Hahahahaha the answer is written at the beginning!
