Secretary Zhao was panicking, fearing that Shi Maochang would just pass away, and their Sihai base would be in chaos without the base director. For a moment, he was so nervous that he broke out in sweat, his face turned pale, and he didn't look much better than Shi Maochang.
When Maochang finally took a breath, Secretary Zhao wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Boss Wang, what's going on?"
Secretary Zhao did not doubt what Wang Xiaoxiao had done to Shi Maochang. After being together for so long, he thought he knew Wang Xiaoxiao well. She had no reason to attack Shi Maochang, let alone in front of so many people. Doing something that attracts people's attention.
Seeing that Shi Maochang was still stunned to digest what she had just said, Wang Xiaoxiao simply told Secretary Zhao about plant mutations in a simple and clear way.
As soon as he heard the news, Secretary Zhao almost lost his breath. However, he was smart enough to put his hand on the person before hearing the news and pinched himself back in time.
"This... this..." Secretary Zhao's hands began to tremble, "What evil has this done..." His skinny palms patted his thighs, and Secretary Zhao was about to cry without tears.
"Report it, I want to report it immediately!" Shi Maochang finally came back to his senses, and immediately wanted to notify the senior management.
The matter of mutated plants is more terrifying than acid rain. Acid rain is only temporary. Even if it causes river and soil pollution, they are confident that they will slowly improve the environment. But if the plants mutate, the harm will be great. If it is not handled carefully, , I am afraid it will cause greater harm than the zombie swarm!
Hearing that the first thing Shi Maochang did after coming back to his senses was to report it to the senior management, Secretary Zhao was stunned for a moment, and rushed over to grab Shi Maochang, "Basic Director, are you going to report it directly? Don't you verify it?"
At this point, Secretary Zhao remembered that Wang Xiaoxiao was still sitting next to him, and he coughed in embarrassment, "Boss Wang, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the matter is too big, we have to..."
"No need!" Before Secretary Zhao could finish speaking, Shi Maochang patted Secretary Zhao on the shoulder to stop him.
Shi Maochang took a deep look at Wang Xiaoxiao, "I know what Boss Wang is like. She won't talk nonsense. The more times like this, the more time we have to race against time. Every minute of delay is a disservice to the survivors." Be responsible!”
Shi Maochang knew very well why Wang Xiaoxiao came to him to tell him about this matter. He was very grateful that Wang Xiaoxiao came to inform him immediately when he discovered the crisis, and gave him and the country preparations. time.
After saying this, Shi Maochang, who was still wearing pajamas, quickly walked into the bedroom, opened the safe, took out the satellite phone and dialed the number. The whole process was done smoothly without any hesitation.
After the call was dialed, a young man's voice came from the other side,
"Hello."
"Hello, this is Director Chen. I am Shi Maochang from Sihai Base. I have something very important to talk to Governor Li!"
"...Chief Base Commander, I hope you understand that it is 5 o'clock in the night. If there is nothing important, I will not wake up the Governor!"
With an anxious look on his brows, Shi Maochang said solemnly to the other end of the phone: "I have something very important, and I must inform Governor Li immediately!"
The person on the other side was silent for a few seconds and then said: "I hope you understand the consequences of lying. Wait a minute, I will wake up the governor now."
Silence returned to the other end of the phone. Shi Maochang held the satellite phone, his ear pressed tightly against the receiver, and his toes unconsciously tapped the ground.
"Hello!" The phone was picked up again, and a rich voice with a touch of age came into Shi Maochang's ears.
Shi Maochang's body reflexively straightened up, "Superintendent!"
"Xiao Chen said you have something important to ask me?"
"Director, it's like this..." Not daring to hide anything, Shi Maochang told Governor Li exactly what Wang Xiao said.
After finishing speaking, Shi Maochang held his breath and waited quietly for the reply on the other end of the phone. For a long time, a calm voice came from the other end, "Old Shi, are you sure about this? Is the person who told you the news reliable?"
Governor Li's words were cryptic, but Shi Maochang knew that the Governor was 'asking' him, was it appropriate to report the news to him without confirming whether it was true or false?
Taking a deep breath, Shi Maochang did not explain, but instead talked about the acid rain incident before, "Superintendent, do you still remember that I warned you about the acid rain disaster before?"
"What? Are you going to tell me that the acid rain incident is also related to this person this time?"
"Yes, Governor, she actually warned me about the last acid rain incident, so I went to find scientific researchers to confirm it again."
"How sure are you that what she said is true?"
"Ten percent!" Shi Maochang said this categorically. After a pause, he continued: "Superintendent, it is actually easy to verify the authenticity of this matter. You only need to send someone to an area with abundant vegetation to check, and you will know. , according to her, the crops that were planted in the land before the acid rain and were baptized by the acid rain have also mutated. Maybe similar things have happened in some places, but..."
"Are you trying to say that the people below didn't pay attention to it, or concealed it?"
Shi Maochang nodded, then remembered that the person opposite could not see his nod, and said, "Chief Governor, this matter deserves caution."
"okay, I get it."
After saying this, the person on the other end of the phone hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the busy beep, Shi Maochang felt anxious and anxious.
He was afraid that the governor would not believe what he said, he was afraid that the governor would believe it but not pay attention to it, and the people sent to verify it would drag his feet. He was also afraid that the time delay would be too long and the mutated plants would grow wildly.
After locking the satellite phone in the safe, Shi Maochang turned back to the bedroom, changed clothes, and went downstairs.
Seeing the neatly dressed Shi Maochang, Secretary Zhao stood up from the sofa and looked at Shi Maochang expectantly, "Basic Chief, Superintendent..."
Shi Maochang shook his head slightly, "The governor also has his difficulties."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Secretary Zhao's eyes, "Yes, the governor holds a high position, so he can't just believe one side of the story. He has to verify the truth and falsehood. Only with evidence can he convince the public."
As if he had convinced himself, when Secretary Zhao looked up at Shi Maochang again, he noticed that he had changed into the clothes he had worn when going out, "Basic Director, what are you doing?"
Shi Maochang walked towards the outside of the villa, "I always feel a little uneasy. I have to go take a look."
Hearing this, Secretary Zhao suddenly realized that yes, there were many crops and even some weeds in their base. As long as they could survive tenaciously, they did not deliberately destroy them.
I was thinking that although these weeds have experienced acid rain, I wonder if they contain toxic substances, but I can do some research first to see if they are not poisonous. Or is it poisonous but can be eliminated through means? Then it is good to use these wild grasses to feed livestock.
