Chapter 23 The Insect Tide Receded and the Heavy Rain Came

Everyone was regretting why the Zerg retreated, but no one knew. The military was relieved at this moment, and no one knew that the power grid was a little insufficient.

There has been no sun these days, so solar power cannot generate electricity, but the power grid has been consuming power.

The military knew the situation was urgent, but they did not tell the people below them because they were really afraid that the impact would be too great.

And now we really can't contact the air-raid shelter. There was signal before, but now there is no signal at all.

They also wanted to send someone to check it out, but what good would that do? If the power grid failed, the people in the central city would not know where to go.

The air-raid shelter is relatively saturated. In fact, the military in the central city believes that the signal has been cut off deliberately.

At this time, all the live broadcast rooms in the central city were filled with joy, and everyone was picking up jerky excitedly.

A lot of supplies have been transported back, and everyone has picked up a lot. Now they have picked up dried meat, so they can hold on for a long time.

The most important thing now is if the old man could make it rain a little.

Qiao Ling looked at the live broadcast room of one of the people named Fangzi. This guy once drove a car over her head and she remembered him.

Fangzi was very excited. "I have picked up 500 dried insects today. Each one weighs more than half a pound. This dried meat can be stored for a long time. If I can collect some water, I estimate it can last for another year."

"That's right! Now everyone is in a similar situation. Everyone has picked up a lot of dried meat. The power grid has played a big role this time."

"Didn't these Zerg make a great contribution?"

"It's a pity that I didn't electrocute a big bug. I wonder what that big bug tastes like."

At this time, someone said, "You should be thankful that the bugs retreated in time. I estimate that the power grid will not be able to hold out for too long. Now there is no solar energy and no wind or rain, so our power generation is also a big problem!"

This person's words instantly calmed down the comments.

"Yeah, thank goodness the bugs retreated."

"well!"

"By the way, isn't there a treadmill that can generate electricity? I have the strength, I can run and generate electricity."

"I use the battery of my cell phone by running on the treadmill."

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Don't you suspect that the sudden retreat of the Zerg was caused by someone helping us?"

"What are you thinking upstairs? Who will help us?"

"That's right, even if someone helps, how can they help?"

"The city next door, C, is too busy taking care of itself!"

"Does the person who suspected someone was helping us have any inside information?"

The man then said, "Halfway through, I went back upstairs to put the dried meat away, and I saw a white figure on the periphery. Wherever the figure went, the bugs disappeared in large numbers. I don't know if I saw it wrong, so I took a video, and you can watch it on my Douyin account."

After seeing this person’s words, some people immediately went to his Douyin account to watch the video.

Soon someone came back, "It's a person!"

"It really is a person. Wherever he goes, there are fewer insects. Could it be that he really helped us?"

"It should be her!"

"Uh, is there something upstairs?"

"I heard a rumor that the owner of that green light is a woman."

"So this person should be the owner of Qingmang?"

"I think it's a good possibility!"

"Yeah, she helped deal with the giant crocodile, so it's only natural for her to deal with the bugs."

"Qingmang really has an owner!" Some people couldn't believe it.

The anchor was also depressed, "It turns out it has an owner, no wonder I can't find it."

Captain Wei of the military also saw this video. He narrowed his eyes and thought it must be that beautiful girl!

Captain Wei carefully observed the figure of the person and thought it was right. However, she was very smart and was wearing a white dress. If you didn't look carefully, you might not know that it was a living person.

Captain Wei was observing how Qiao Ling eliminated the bugs. She should have some means to make the bugs disappear. Although he didn't see the follow-up, he guessed that this girl must have done something to scare the Zerg, so they retreated.

But what would scare the Zerg?

Could it be that the Insect King has also disappeared?

Captain Wei asked gloomily in the live broadcast room, "I don't know if there will be a Zerg King in this Zerg invasion?"

Qiao Ling saw this sentence twice. When the man named Wei asked for the third time, she replied, "At least two."

She didn't know whether there was a third one, but she received two anyway.

Captain Wei had been watching the barrage of comments. Among the numerous comments, he saw this sentence directly. He clicked on the person's Doudou account, but there was no work on it. Moreover, the account looked very new, and it was obviously a young girl.

She must be right, Captain Wei directly applied to add her as a friend.

When Qiao Ling saw this friend addition, she was stunned for a moment. The system said, "The host can agree to it. If you communicate with other people appropriately, the host can also get some inside information in time. This person is a military person and can be trusted."

When Qiao Ling heard this, he immediately agreed to the application. Captain Wei added that Qiao Ling was smart and did not say anything. Both parties knew that their relationship was very fragile, and even if they wanted to contact each other, it had to be at a critical moment.

Qiao Ling thought that since he was just a friend on the Doudou account, if she closed the Doudou account, this person would not be able to contact her.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky became increasingly gloomy and humid. The system told Qiao Ling that there might be heavy rain next, so what Qiao Ling needed to do now was to protect himself from the rain. If it was dangerous, it would be best to go to the ground and then enter the space to take shelter.

Qiao Ling went out under the cover of night and built a waterproof wall around the entrance. If it was just raining, she wouldn't be afraid. What she was afraid of now was that the water would flow back.

Qiao Ling received a reminder from Wei on Doudouhao, "It will rain heavily tonight, please take shelter from the rain!"

Qiao Ling replied with a thank you and nothing else.

In addition to building a rainproof wall, Qiao Ling also placed an awning directly above the entrance, and the awning was erected on the surrounding rainproof walls. Anyway, it was pitch black around now, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. I hope this awning can be of some use.

At about 8:30, it started to rain. It rained really hard and the awning was flapping. But there was no strong wind at the moment, so the awning played a big role in waterproofing.

Qiao Ling saw through the map that the water above instantly reached ten centimeters. Fortunately, she had done a good job of waterproofing, and with the addition of the awning, the entire basement was quite dry and there was not a single feeling of dampness.

The heavy rain continued to fall. Qiao Ling was afraid of getting wet, but people in the central city began to collect rainwater frantically. Especially the water plant, all the rainwater from the entire central city was diverted into the water plant.

After their processing, the water is still drinkable.

People in the central city even ran to the rooftop to take free showers. They all felt that they had been smelling bad for a long time, and some people even took out their clothes and washed them in the rain.

Thank you for your support!
