Three hours later.

A figure quickly dashed out of the dormitory building and ran to a big tree, taking off the mask.

With a sound of "yue", he started to vomit.

Behind him, Xu Yun and Director Guan walked out of the dormitory building with tired faces.

Three hours ago, after arriving at the "crime scene", Xu Yun and the others immediately started the cleaning work.

Compared to the complex and numerous scene, their cleaning work was relatively simple:

The Agricultural Science Institute on campus provided a large vacuum cleaner for pest control, and Xu Yun and the others kept the front suction port while the back part of the containment box was modified into a detachable burlap bag, directly sucking up the cockroach corpses from the ground.

Once a bag was full, it was tightly placed aside, and then another bag was used, repeatedly containing the cockroach corpses.

Of course.

Although this process sounds simple, it is still very challenging to do.

After all, many cockroach corpses were no longer intact, and occasionally there were some white insect eggs or sticky fluids, which were quite disgusting even through the protective clothing.

Occasionally, while cleaning, there would be a few cockroaches with strong vitality flapping up and rushing towards your face.

Even with a mask, this situation still had a strong impact on ordinary people.

Therefore, Xu Yun and the others worked tirelessly for three hours before finally clearing away the cockroach corpses - in terms of the whole process, this was only the first step.

The subsequent sterilization, cleaning, and student placement work were also quite troublesome.

As for the results of Xu Yun and the others...

Have you seen those fifty-seven bags over there? (Note: I called a friend who is a doctor of entomology, and he said that a 180-pound bag can hold about 1,500 American cockroaches, so fifty-seven bags should be reasonable.)

Xu Yun entrusted the remaining matters to Director Guan, and he walked quickly towards Tian Liangwei who was waiting on the side.

At this time, Tian Liangwei was talking to someone, and Xu Yun greeted him first:

"Teacher, I'm here."

Then he looked at the man beside his teacher for a few seconds and hesitated:

"...Hello, President Zhang."

The President Zhang mentioned by Xu Yun was Zhang Rui, the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences and also the executive vice president of the university.

Zhang Rui was also one of the local mathematicians with the most chance of winning the Wolf Prize. He graduated from the Krypton College of Zhang Shuo University.

Therefore, the students of the School of Mathematics usually called him Dean Zhang, while students from other schools called him President Zhang.

Zhang Rui's main responsibility was the daily life of the university, including the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of the students and staff. Some faculty and staff also referred to him as the university's steward.

It was not surprising that Zhang Rui, as the main person in charge, appeared here when such a big incident happened in Building 14.

After greeting Xu Yun, Tian Liangwei glanced at Zhang Rui and asked:

"Xiao Xu, is the dormitory all cleaned up?"

"Yes, it's all cleaned up. The next step is disinfection."

"...Are you still holding up? Do you need to rest for a while?"

Xu Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood:

"No, I'm not tired. Just tell me what you want to say."

His mentor had something to say, and with Zhang Rui present, it was obvious what the conversation would be about.

To describe it in four words...

Accountability and punishment!

Thinking of this, Xu Yun felt a bit heavy in his heart.

Although strictly speaking, the main responsibility for this accident lay with Chang Licheng and Ye Guohong's operational mistakes.

But if they really wanted to investigate the responsibility, as the initiator, he would inevitably be involved.

And once the punishment was imposed, some subsequent things might become more troublesome.

Of course.

Xu Yun was not completely defenseless and willing to be slaughtered.

Although the accident on the 14th was unexpected by everyone, it inadvertently proved how powerful the pyrethrin was. The university could not ignore its commercial value.

So if there were any economic penalties, he could just advance some future income.

It's just that it would be difficult to face the loss of face, and he might be criticized by others.

While Xu Yun's thoughts were wandering, Tian Liangwei spoke with a serious expression:

"Xiao Xu, as a witness to this incident, you should know that during the past few hours from early morning until now, the university has suffered losses in terms of manpower and material resources on campus, and there has been certain pressure from public opinion and social media outside the campus, even involving the image of the university..."

Xu Yun listened quietly, waiting for the punishment to be announced.

"So, after unanimous decision by the university leaders, we have finally come up with a solution - to carry out a campus-level cockroach extermination at several designated locations in the east area, and broadcast it live on the internet!"

"No problem, I accept the punishment from the university..."

Xu Yun was originally nodding like a little chicken pecking at rice, as if he was willing to take full responsibility. But as he spoke, he suddenly felt that something was not right:

"Um, wait, what did you say?"

This time, Tian Liangwei couldn't hold back his expression and burst into laughter:

"I said the university is planning to carry out another large-scale extermination, and you, kid, need to produce the fifth-generation bait for me in the next few days. Do you understand?"

Looking at Xu Yun's confused face, Zhang Rui also laughed and added:

"Comrade Xiao Xu, actually, at the beginning, the university leaders were indeed a bit troubled by this matter.

Cockroaches gathering in the dormitory is not negative news, but obviously it has nothing to do with positive news either.

At the same time, if we don't refute rumors, a bunch of people will say that you are pretending to be dead and not responding, and if we control the comments, conspiracy theories and wild imaginations will start. As for refuting rumors, we don't know how to issue an announcement."

So after a few leaders discussed, they decided to do a targeted extermination in the east area since there are so many cockroaches in Building 14.

They also decided to live stream it on the internet to gain more attention.

In the end, this could be considered a positive topic, and it might even be useful for next year's enrollment. Who can resist a campus without cockroaches, right?"

After listening to Zhang Rui's words, Xu Yun was stunned on the spot.

According to the teacher and Zhang Rui's intentions...

Not only is the university not planning to punish him, but they are also planning to make a big move?

After a while, a complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart, filled with deep emotion.

Friends who have read about the university should know that the university's motto consists of eight characters:

"Combine the red and professional, integrate theory and practice."

Here, "theory" refers to theoretical knowledge, scientific values, life views, and world views. It also refers to principles. "Practice" refers to practical experience and reality.

Ideas should be combined with reality, keeping up with the times, and not being stuck in old ways.

Zhang Rui—or rather, the decision of the university leaders—is undoubtedly the best interpretation of this motto.

Xu Yun also thought of a news story he had seen before:

About a year or two ago, a freshman girl from Shangdu Normal University won 30,000 kilograms of watermelons in a Hema Fresh event. Originally, she planned to share them with all the students in the university. At that time, the university's online forums, Weibo, and QQ groups were all discussing this matter, and even some students from nearby universities said they were going to "steal the watermelons."

What was the result?

This great opportunity to monetize the attention ended up being rejected by the university during the distribution process. The girl could only give the watermelons to the city's bus drivers.

At that time, Shangdu Normal University was criticized and became a hot topic. Helplessly, they had to lower the ranking and control the comments.

A perfect opportunity to gain attention turned into negative marketing. In the following year, when the admission scores for other universities increased, Shangdu Normal University's provincial admission score actually decreased by 23 points.

But today, the university is showing its unique side.

Not only did they waive the punishment Xu Yun was supposed to receive, but they also decided to counterattack and create a big news event.

Indeed.

The location of the follow-up activities, prevention and control methods, and how to avoid affecting the students all need serious discussion. But from the university's actions alone, it is undoubtedly a very popular approach.

Such an open-minded university, it's no wonder that countless people admire it!
