Chapter 109 Male Carrion Beetles as Mobile Rations

If the first carrion beetle lays eggs and eats your flesh and blood while you are asleep and you don't wake up, more flying insects will come and lay eggs within a few minutes, and within two hours your body will be covered with carrion beetles. The saliva secreted by their mouthparts also has an irritating effect, so it is not easy for a sleeping person to notice.

It has to be said that the evolution of species is a very magical thing. Initially, the carrion worms were only the size of a needle tip, but now they can grow a lot bigger. Later on, they will grow fat, and because of the scarcity of food, they have become not picky eaters and will eat anything with energy.

In the past, carrion beetles would only lay eggs on corpses, but now they lay eggs on humans. A female carrion beetle is now about the size of a mosquito. Once it lays eggs on a human, thousands of eggs will turn into tiny, wriggling larvae that can grow to the size of a needle tip overnight.

Jingshu was very familiar with this carrion beetle; it was her nightmare. A carrion beetle matured in three days, and the female transformed into a flying insect, foraging for food and searching for new places to lay eggs.

The male carrion worms will grow longer and bigger; they store energy when the race has enough food, and become food when the race does not have enough food. They will not turn into flying insects. In the end, Jingshu eats only male worms.

There is a reason why this race has become so powerful, it is because they are cruel to themselves.

A few days ago, when Shangguan Jun abused an elderly woman in the community, Jingshu put the elderly woman into a pool of polluted water filled with carrion worms. The long, wriggling carrion worms were males, and they kept eating the water as a reserve food for the movement of the species, and would contribute themselves when needed.

In her previous life, Jingshu had to be alert at all times when she slept, for fear of being bitten by carrion beetles or having their eggs laid.

Wang Qiqi said, "Everyone, Aunt Liu from Building 3 was unfortunately infested with carrion beetles last night. When she was found today, her body was already crawling with carrion beetles, leaving only a skeleton. I'm reminding everyone to be vigilant when sleeping at night."

Wang Cuihua sent a voice message: "The mosquito net I installed at home is useless. My face is still covered with bites when I wake up this morning. Does anyone have gauze? I have to put on another layer of gauze."

Fat Girl No. 25: "All the cloth in my house was exchanged for work points. I should have kept some!"

Wang Qiqi added, "There's still no news of the missing person from the community a few days ago. He might have been murdered. If it's been more than seven days, I'll apply for a death report. Then we can go to the house where no relatives are and inherit their belongings. As usual, I'll take triple the money."

Now no one objects to what Wang Qiqi says, because he has successfully led the residents of the community to have meat to eat and water to drink.

Wind No. 3: "Great! I can find a few sets of bowls now. My bowls are crawling with maggots today for some reason. If they weren't white, I would have thought they were carrion maggots."

News channels were also reporting on the damage caused by carrion beetles. The science channel finally raised its head in triumph. "See? Carrion beetles are about to take over the world, becoming the top of the food chain. At this rate, within three months, all other living things and resources will be dominated by carrion beetles."

Many carrion beetles flew into Jingshu's villa from nowhere.

Fortunately, there are frogs and fat chickens in the villa. Jingshu also put a few frogs in Jingnai's house. After Wu Youai left, Third Aunt Jinglai also moved to the villa to sleep for a few days. Everyone still felt that it was too unsafe outside. Now there are patrol cars outside the villa, and armed police are there 24 hours a day. The patrol cars will not leave until the leader of Zhatian and the second leader Shangguan Jun are found.

Jingshu would also send some boiled water every day. A little kindness is enough to show gratitude.

Jing's father recently brought back some poultry from the farm to raise at home. Because the farm became infested, dozens of poultry died accidentally because carrion beetles laid eggs in the poultry. Some of the relatives did not take good care of them, resulting in all the pigs and cows being eaten by carrion beetles.

Then it spread to other poultry at a terrifying rate.

So I decided to take it home to raise it. The conditions at home are good, and the key is that there are not so many carrion beetles.

As for the dead poultry, they all have numbers on them. Whoever is responsible for the death of the poultry will be held accountable. Many people with connections were directly dismissed, and their recommenders will also be punished.

Yes, if you want to enter a breeding farm or agricultural base, you need a recommender. If you make a mistake, the losses that you cannot compensate will be compensated by the recommender.

"Dad, we need to get some sealing strips and various glues to ensure that there are no gaps in the tempered glass and that the doors and windows are absolutely sealed, otherwise so many crops will suffer." Jingshu pointed to the cucumber flowers in the yard and said that there are some places that frogs can't reach, so they are easy to suffer. Once eggs are laid, it will become a disaster. Moreover, we have to prepare for next year's heavy rain. She doesn't want the red nematodes to flow in.

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll find a way to get some." Jing's father thought to himself and decided that he had to ask Lao Liu to exchange some glue. He really didn't want to contact his colleague of more than 20 years. He had already seen through the true faces of that group of people.

It seems that I have to spray the whole villa with floral water recently. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little wasteful. At worst, I can grow some herbs myself after it’s used up and then make the floral water later.

Jing's mother has been under a lot of pressure lately. Most of the mushrooms cultivated by the cultivation management departments in the other twelve districts of Wucheng have been eaten by carrion beetles! She is very afraid that her management department will also be eaten by carrion beetles.

Fortunately, Jingshu released hundreds of frogs in the management office, maintained constant temperature air conditioning, and provided good water every day, so the crops were not damaged.

Now, Wucheng consumes the most mushrooms every day. Even if they taste bad, fortunately, they are cheap in terms of work points, so when there is no other choice, they can only choose mushroom rice.

And the mushrooms can be grown with mold, which happens to be something that carrion beetles like, so no matter how those people guarded against it, most of them were still eaten. For the next few days, the food supply for everyone in Wucheng became a problem!

There are very few people who still have food stored at home now. If the food supply is reduced for a few days, I don’t know how many people will die.

On this day, Jingshu was also invited by Minister Niu Moo to reserve almost all of her second batch of frogs, and even wanted to reserve a third batch of frogs.

The second batch of frogs had about a thousand in number, two hundred of which were kept in Jingma's management department, and the rest were given to Niu Moo in exchange for 500 work points, 300 kilowatt-hours of electricity, 200 bottles of mineral water, and a favor from Minister Niu Moo.

Due to the current water shortage, Minister Niu Moo did not boast about the price of one frog for two bottles of water. Instead, he scraped together some other things. In general, 300 kWh of electricity plus solar power generation can last Jingshu's family for several months, which saves a lot of gasoline for electricity generation.

Jingshu didn't care how many bottles of mineral water there were. She just wanted to take them out so that it would be easier for everyone to know that her family had so much mineral water because they exchanged things with Minister Niu. Otherwise, she would have hidden hundreds of boxes of mineral water in her study and no one would know where to find them.
