Chapter 93

"No, I can't bear to watch this anymore. I'm going to vomit."

After staring at the dark roof for a while, Chen Cong pulled Jiashu and said, "Let's go up and put away those shelves."

"What's that airs?" Jiashu was a little unresponsive.

“The ones on the top floor, toward the sides.”

"Sister-in-law, can we set it on fire?" Jiashu's eyes immediately lit up.

He suggested setting fire to the bugs last night, but his family members were unwilling.

Firstly, when the insects flew over, it was already afternoon, and after the insect tide passed, it was dark when people relaxed a little.

The weather is too dry now and there is a lack of water. It is easy to cause a fire if you are not careful when operating at night.

Another thing everyone is worried about is that if the insects are attracted to light, the fire will attract those that have not come to the community, and then it will be the end of the game.

So even though Jiashu tried to persuade him again and again, Shen Jianyi refused to agree.

I think other families in the community had the same idea, at least no fire was seen in the yard before they went to bed.

Now that Shen Cong said to put away the shelves near the railing, Jiashu immediately thought of his suggestion yesterday.

"Well, burn them to death!" Shen Cong gritted his teeth.

The flower stands against the railings were made by Chen Cong using the materials removed from the steel frame house. They are all metal stands, which are easy for her to dismantle.

Jiashu went to wake up Shichen, and together with Chen's father, the three of them worked together to move all the vegetable pots on the shelves that had been gnawed to pieces to the third floor, while Chen Cong directly dismantled the shelves into small pieces.

I plan to keep them for reinforcing the iron net later.

With such a big commotion, it was natural for Chen Xi and the children to not be unaware of it.

But because it didn't take so many people to dismantle the shelf, she and Shen's mother stayed in the house to look after the child and did not come out.

Not only did the four of them tear down the vegetable garden on the top floor, they also carried the vegetable racks made in the backyard into the living room. Suddenly the house was so crowded that people couldn't even get in.

After the outside was almost cleared and all unsafe items that might catch fire were checked, Jiashu rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Let's burn it?"

“Burn!” Father Shen nodded heavily.

Seeing that they were about to take action, the children in the house couldn't stand it anymore and ran out regardless of the adults' attempts to stop them.

Even Shanshan, who was so scared that she cried yesterday, held her mother's hand tightly and walked to the middle of the yard.

Cheng Ru took out the thick bamboo pole that was originally used to hang clothes.

Jiashu used a knife to cut it into four pieces, gave one piece to Shichen, Shen's father, and Shencong, and held the remaining piece in his own hand.

There were no rags at home, so Chen Xi tore off the small T-shirts that Tongtong and Shanshan wore yesterday and helped them wrap them around the bamboo pole.

The two little guys rolled around on the ground yesterday, and the T-shirt is now dirty beyond recognition.

After dipping the T-shirt in a basin of oil, four of them took it to the top floor, while the others stood downstairs and watched.

Coming upstairs, Jiashu lit the homemade torch with a lighter and was the first to stretch it towards the iron net in front of him.

With a sizzling sound, a burnt smell instantly rushed into everyone's nose.

Then there was a crackling sound, and all the insects lying on the iron net rioted instantly!

They flapped their wings desperately to escape, and the vibrations disturbed the insects nearby...

With a loud rustling sound, a large group of insects jumped off the iron net, flapping the scales that fell from their wings, and the dust made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

An empty space suddenly appeared right in front of them.

"Okay! They all ran away!" Jiashu shouted excitedly through the mask.

"Burn! Burn them to death!" Father Shen also perked up.

Everyone divided into four directions and extended their torches towards the iron net.

Chen Cong and his father used the most common burning method, which was to extend the torch onto the iron net, burn a group of people to death or scare away a group, and then move to another place.

Jiashu and Shichen were tall, so they held the torches above their heads and waved them as they walked, specifically to deal with the insects covered on the iron net above the roof.

Metal has good thermal conductivity. Even though they only burned the net above the top floor, the temperature of the net covering the entire house rose.

Even the densely packed layers of insects that had lingered above the open space in the backyard because they had smelled the vegetables in the yard all flew away in fear.

As green smoke rose and a burning smell spread, the sun could finally be seen from the roof of the Shen family.

The children were most happy to see the bugs run away.

They had even forgotten the fear of yesterday and all rushed to the top floor cheering.

Cheng Ru and Shen Xi couldn't stop him or catch him, so they could only follow him while shouting.

"Be careful of the heat, don't touch the railing! Sis, watch them!"

Looking at this group of little brats, Chen Cong burned the insects while shouting warnings.

It's really satisfying to watch the bugs being burned to death and scared away from below, but in fact, upstairs is not a good place.

The sun had come out now, and was as hot as ever, shining its strong light on everyone from above the cleared iron grid.

The sun was scorching my head, and I was holding a torch in my hand. The iron net beside me was burning even hotter...

The feeling is even more uncomfortable than staying in a dry steam room for a long time.

Not only that, the key is that it stinks!

The smoke and the peculiar smell of the burnt insect corpses were so irritating that even though they were wearing masks, the people upstairs felt so irritated that tears streamed down their faces.

So when they saw the little ones coming up, no one gave them a good look.

Father Shen even glared at his eldest daughter: "Take them away, why are they coming up to cause trouble!"

But the children didn't feel that they were causing trouble at all, and they didn't even feel uncomfortable staying there.

Maybe the scares brought to them by the bugs yesterday were too severe, and the three little guys hated them very much.

They were all very happy to see them being chased away.

Seeing that grandpa was about to chase them down again, Cancan waved his hand to show that he was not a freeloader, and a layer of fine mist-like water droplets appeared in the space on the top floor.

Although the fine mist was evaporated in an instant by the high temperature, it still brought a moment of coolness to the four people who were about to suffer from heatstroke.

It's refreshing.

"Cancan, give me some more!" Jiashu was overjoyed and shouted.

"Hey!" After hearing this, Cancan puffed out her chest proudly, ran to Jiashu, and threw another cloud of mist at him.

In return, Jiashu praised her highly.

Seeing that Sister Cancan received praise from the adults, Shanshan tilted her head and thought about it.

She broke away from her mother's hand, ran to her aunt, and held Chen Cong's hand.

Shen Cong, who was sweating profusely, felt a chill spreading along her arm to her whole body. She was caught off guard and shivered.

Chen Cong lowered his head and met his niece's expectant eyes. He was speechless and could only praise her: "Shanshan is awesome!"

Then he said to her: "Stay away from auntie, it's a bit dangerous here."

"We can't keep burning it like this. How about getting two basins and trying to smoke it?" Chen Xi came over, picked up his daughter again, and suggested.

"That's fine. It's almost burned out anyway. The net is so hot, they won't come over for a while." Chen Cong wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded in agreement.

In fact, she knew in her heart that burning the insects with fire was not a complete solution. If there were only a batch of them, she could just burn them to death.

But if there are more insects flying over, it will be too tiring.

Chen Cong now used the dismantled flower stands to make four metal basins.

They brought up some of the wood shavings and sawdust that had been left over from renovating the house as fire starter and put them in the basin to light it. They also sprinkled some ashes from dead insects into the basin and placed the basins on the four sides of the top floor before the group went downstairs.

Just as they were going downstairs, they saw green smoke coming out from all directions in the yard, and it was obvious that someone had started burning insects.

After all, the Shen family was the most watched family in the entire community, and they made such a big noise early in the morning that it was hard not to attract attention.

Seeing that they started burning insects and were very effective, naturally people followed suit.

Not long after, the people from the property management started walking around the community shouting with loudspeakers.

This time they shouted: "It's dry, be careful of fire!"

After working for a long time, everyone became excited.

He went downstairs, ate something quick, and then went out fully armed.

This time they did not wear plastic bags on their heads. Instead, they each wore a pair of sunglasses outside the sunshade. Although their outfit looked a bit ridiculous, at least all the necessary parts were protected.

The children followed out as well.

After they went out, they found that most people in the community had taken action.

After everyone finished their housework, they all left the house.

Everyone was holding homemade torches or insect nets, and some even lit fires in the open space.

The people in the property management were busy organizing people to bring buckets and basins of water and place them around the fire, for fear that someone might accidentally start another fire.

In short, people cooperate more and more tacitly, and their insect-catching techniques become more and more skilled.

In half a day, most of the overwhelming insects stranded in the community were burned to death, and some were scared away by the scene.

Although everyone was exhausted at the end of the day, this was another great cooperation from the residents after the disaster, in addition to the time they went to the ruins to pick up garbage.

Looking at the insect corpse that was burned to ashes, everyone felt a sense of satisfaction as if a great revenge had been achieved, and they didn't even feel tired.

Although everyone was sweating profusely, their mouths were dry and their bodies were covered with bad odor, somehow they still felt pretty good and were in a pretty good mood.

So much so that towards the end, everyone was still able to joke with each other and brag about their own achievements.

The people in charge of the property took this opportunity to publicize the importance of fire prevention, and Chen Cong also reminded everyone of the instructions given by his father-in-law before he left, telling the residents not to ignore the bite wounds and to make sure to rinse them with clean water.

If the situation is serious, don't be lazy and go to the property management office to ask someone to apply some medicine for you.

All in all, everyone felt a little more relieved this evening than the day before, and even slept more soundly than before.

Chen Cong didn't even dream and slept until dawn.

No, it wasn't daybreak.

Because she had worked hard the day before, Chen Cong actually woke up later than usual that morning. When she woke up, she looked at the watch and it was already half past six.

But unfortunately - it was still dark outside.

Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately jumped out of bed.

When she walked out of the house, she saw her sister standing in the corridor.

Chen Xi was still in her pajamas, and it was obvious that she had come out on purpose because she sensed something.

Hearing the noise, she turned to look at her sister but said nothing.

Chen Cong no longer had the desire to speak.

Because as soon as she came out, she saw that the wire mesh above her head was covered with dense black insects, just like yesterday.
