Chapter 1297

Early the next morning.

The reveille had already sounded. Zhan Ming just opened his eyes out of habit from his biological clock, only to see a figure standing by the head of his bed like a ghost.

Wait a minute, he sleeps on the bottom bunk!

Their underground dorm doesn't turn on the lights until the scheduled time, so the light is very dim. Appearing so suddenly scared him into subconsciously sitting up and throwing a punch!

With a "bang," the fist hit someone solidly, but it only hit the shoulder—warm and hard.

The other person let go and slid directly down the ladder.

While Zhan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly grabbed the railing and looked up: "Who the hell is it?!"

Immediately after, the dorm lights turned on.

Everyone had already woken up because of the commotion earlier, and at this moment, they stared at the person standing in the center of the dorm, their faces full of horror:

"Who are you?"

The change in his lips obviously affected his speech, including his squinting eyes that couldn't open; the level of hatred conveyed was also reduced.

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

But he doesn't livestream at a fixed time, and the time everyone here can find to get online is also not fixed. Nine times out of ten, they see others have already finished snapping it up, and they end up slapping their thighs in regret.

"Does this mugwort tea really have such an effect just by soaking in it and wiping it on the body?" It wasn't even simmered for a long time; 100% of the medicinal properties were volatilized!

For a full two-hour night shift, he truly didn't hear a single mosquito buzz. When changing shifts, he just casually said a word to express his amazement. Who would have thought...

To the point that everyone from top to bottom was alarmed. Zhan Ming was inexplicably called out, feeling as if a huge pot had been smashed onto him, leaving him completely confused. From today on, he might as well change his surname to Dou—the Dou of Dou E.

"What new mosquito repellent did you use?" A group of people stared at the surveillance for a long time. Although it wasn't high-definition enough to catch every single mosquito, Zhan Ming's state while on guard was clearly visible—

Just for this one application, the tips of the pens used to write the application materials were almost sparking. The difficulties involved were something the guys didn't know at all when they received the items!

At this moment, Zhan Ming stood there, bewildered: "Did I evolve?"

As a logistics leader, he had much more access to his phone every day than the ordinary soldiers. He started following Qiaoqiao's livestream channel last year after tasting the tea egg seasoning packets sent by the families of his comrades.

And everyone turned to look at the bottom bunk; Zhan Ming looked even more innocent: "Why look at me? I don't even know who he is!"

At this moment, everyone stared at the inconspicuous mugwort tea soaking in their own cups, their hearts itching to experiment...

There had been many new recruits in the past who didn't believe in evil, claiming they were not mosquito-attracting types, only to cry for their parents after standing for 10 minutes.

Who knew that when that pot of marinade was boiling, the entire cafeteria would be filled with the rich fragrance of the marinade? Even without any meat inside, the aroma of the tea eggs was so overbearing that it made people unable to forget it.

After saying that, the person turned around and left the dorm again.

Otherwise, there would be no chance at all.

"I stood guard yesterday too! If you don't believe me, look at the surveillance; I really didn't wear any protection, and there just weren't any mosquitoes..."

Zhan Ming was even more bewildered: "I didn't..."

This matter was a big deal in the team.

Zhan Ming was even more furious, lying on the edge of his bed: "Damn, do you know that scaring people to death is a real thing?! It's a good thing my punch didn't land on your face, otherwise, you'd blame me for smashing your face into disfigurement!"

Now that they heard someone used this stuff to take a bath...

From then on, Qiaoqiao's livestream channel took root in everyone's hearts.

Everyone watched the logistics leader nervously, truly afraid his blood pressure would spike.

The guys only heard him glaring hatefully at Zhan Ming: "You kid, you almost cost me my life... You just wait!"

It's plenty full!

You have to know, they had even tried burning a whole mugwort stick in the guard post! As a result, the person on guard duty was left in tears and snot, looking miserable, while the mosquitoes still had energy to spare...

But he found out very soon.

"I'm really not lying!" He was about to swear to heaven—cough, to the Party!

At first, no one cared about that stuff, but hearing it cost a high price of 20 yuan, everyone still happily took it to the cafeteria.

Not mentioning the foot bath was really giving him a way out.

"What?!" Now it was the turn of the logistics leader, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, to get angry: "Do you know how many applications I had to write to get this approved?! Do you know how hard it is to get this money? I even had to say nice things to the seller; they didn't want to earn our little bit of money at all! If I hadn't revealed our identity, do you think you could have snatched such good stuff?!"

But the point now wasn't the bath or the tea, but—

Of course, the person in the center of the dorm was disfigured. His face was swollen and his cheeks were fat; not only was his face and neck full of red bumps, but even his eyelids were swollen. His upper lip was even red and pouting, looking like that "pouty lip" look from the streamer online...

Good heavens, the other person really didn't wear it, and when they changed shifts, they couldn't even recognize him as a person.

But since the matter had already blown up, his dorm-mate comrades were also questioned one by one. Everyone thought about it and finally asked tentatively: "Could it be the mugwort?"

"Bullshit!" The squad leader glared at him: "Even if you evolved into Superman, the mosquitoes around here could still suck a body full of blood from you!"

Finally, the eggs were fished out and shared by everyone, and they tried putting chicken feet, meat, and dried tofu inside without giving up, but because the marinade was missing that little something, it tasted just average.

This time, it was he who went through twists and turns to find the comrade who originally provided the tea egg marinade packet. The other person went back to ask his family, and the family went to find their own relatives—

Because early in the morning, the squad leader also came. Very soon, everyone knew—there was a scoundrel who didn't act like a human; he took off all his gear when changing shifts, just to trick the brother coming to relieve him into not using protection.

Because it's only April now, if it hadn't suddenly warmed up a while ago, there wouldn't be so many mosquitoes this season. But if this joke were played in July or August, it would really be a matter of life and death!

"It's that You Lianghou that logistics issued yesterday! Zhan Ming didn't like drinking it, so he used it to wash, to take a bath."

He was furious!

What? The leaders were stunned. What mugwort?

Finally, Zhu Xin came to ask Song Tan.

He took it, but when waiting to change shifts, he didn't see a single mosquito and really thought there were no mosquitoes this month, so when it was his turn, he simply didn't wear it.

He really didn't wear protection, and he didn't show any signs of being bothered by mosquitoes.

When they went to snap it up again, not to mention the poor signal here meant they didn't get any, they finally managed to snap up one bag—just one bag! The other party still used that old online shopping line: "Sorry dear, we can't offer free shipping here."

The mosquitoes in their area are truly the overlords, no mistake. Especially when standing guard in July and August, the entire screen mesh is covered densely with them! How could it be possible not to have a single mosquito?!
