The pungent smell in the air stung her nose and made her dizzy. Seeing that several moths were still alive, Yao Ran reacted quickly and put them into the glass jar before they could regain their strength.
Unlike the dark red liquid, the moths emit an indescribable odor. It's not exactly a stench, but it's certainly not pleasant and can cause dizziness, nausea, and vomiting if you smell it for too long.
After Yao Ran sealed all the live moths in a glass jar, she removed her protective clothing and collected the dark red liquid on the floor for samples. By accident, her finger touched the moth's remaining stingers in the pool of dark red liquid.
Yao Ran looked at her index finger and saw that it suddenly became red and swollen, followed by numbness. In just a few seconds, the swelling had spread to her wrist.
Looking at her left hand, which looked like a pig's trotter, Yao Ran decisively took out a military knife from her space and cut open the swollen area to let the poisonous blood flow out.
What came out of the swelling was not red blood but black blood, which smelled particularly bad.
Yao Ran calmly pressed the swelling area to drain out all the black blood. Then, she cleaned the wound and applied detoxification ointment before bandaging it.
When she was done, she sat on the sofa and observed her left hand. Half an hour later, the feeling in her left hand returned a little bit, and the swelling was reduced by half. Yao Ran then went to her bedroom and opened the medicine box.
She took out her surgical kits, sterilized the wound and surgical tools, and then sutured the wound without anesthesia. She only felt slight pain because the numbness in her hands was still there.
When she was done, she sterilized the surgical tools and returned the medicine box to the bedside table.
Afterward, Yao Ran cleaned the living room, put on protective clothing and a respiratory mask, and left the house with a bottle of insecticide in her hand.
Before the poisonous moths could enter her apartment, Yao Ran sprayed insecticide on them, killing them all, and then quickly closed the door. After confirming that no poisonous moths had entered her apartment, Yao Ran began to kill the poisonous moths in the corridor.
Fifteen minutes later, a pungent smell filled the air, and dark red liquid spilled all over the floor. Yao Ran used four bottles of insecticide to clean up the poisonous moths on the 20th floor.
She walked to the windows at the end of the corridor and sealed it tightly, making sure not even an ant could get in. After all windows were sealed, Yao Ran took out a glass bottle and carefully collected the dark red liquid on the floor.
Although the dark red liquid smells very stinky, it can be used to coat her long sword or arrows. With the future being unpredictable, Yao Ran will not waste anything that can be used to protect herself.
