Just when they thought there wouldn't be any insects during the day, a large swarm of moths suddenly flew across the sky.
Chen Siyu and the others were too low up to see clearly, but Cheng Zhi, who lived on the 13th floor, could see it very clearly.
The destination of this large group of moths was very clear: they flew towards the setting sun, as dense as a black fog.
Cheng Ye came running at the sound, and couldn't help but gasp when he saw the scene. "How many are there in this group? Thousands?"
Cheng Zhi gently tapped the dirty glass. "Who would know? I just want to know, where are they going?"
Few people would understand what a moth is thinking, Cheng Ye shrugged. "Probably going to eat, or going back to the ground to sleep?"
After the moths flew away, Cheng Zhi turned around and lay down on the sofa, thinking for a while. "I think there must have been a bloodshed, otherwise why would it have attracted so many moths?"
This was a very high possibility, Cheng Ye thought of it, but didn't say it so bluntly.
He didn't want to see these things anymore, so he drew the curtains halfway.
Cheng Zhi lay on the sofa, playing with her hair, her thoughts drifting again. "After the dead eat the living, they eat the dead too. So what will they eat after the living are gone?"
Cheng Ye thought for a moment, "I don't think humans will be completely eaten. No matter what, they are bigger than insects and have a longer lifespan. Even if we can't kill it, we can wear it down."
Cheng Zhi felt a strange urge to laugh upon hearing this. She nodded to Cheng Ye, "That's a very good spirit, keep it up!"
The two ended the conversation and went about their own business.
Cheng Ye suddenly remembered what Cheng Zhi had just said, and he was a little worried about Qi Yanche, who was still injured. "Your injured friend, he should be alright, right?"
That's hard to say. Cheng Zhi looked away from her Kindle and said to Cheng Ye, "I gave him the insecticide and pesticide, and they also have fries, so it should be fine."
"French Fries is a dog, what help can it be?" Cheng Ye was a little skeptical of the Samoyed's fighting ability.
Cheng Zhi propped her head up. "It's just a feeling. I just felt that it could be of some help."
…
"How did you do that?!" Chen Yiyi asked, both surprised and delighted.
He squatted down and first looked at the five neatly arranged moth corpses, then glanced at the fries. "Did you really do this?"
Qi Yanche looked at the French fries' dirty front paws and said, "This should be it. Anyway, I didn't get up last night."
Chen Yiyi patted French Fries' head. "Wow, you were the MVP last night!"
Sitting at the foot of the bed, Qi Yanche looked at the five flattened, oozing corpses. "So where did they come from? French Fries, can you tell us?"
The fries, with its pale white ears, twitched, passed the insect, and headed to the toilet. It ran to the shower room and patted the drain that didn't have a floor drain.
Surprisingly, there was no floor drain.
Chen Yiyi quickly went to get the insecticide and tape. "I was careless. I didn't even notice it yesterday."
After sealing the opening, Chen Yiyi washed the fries' claws clean.
He even pried open the fries' mouth to look inside, saying, "You probably didn't eat any bugs, did you? If you did, don't lick me for the next few days."
The fries, whose mouths were being pried open, made two noises, it was hard to tell whether it was saying it had eaten or not.
Qi Yanche really wanted to check the condition of the moth corpses to see if the fries had been eaten, but they were crushed and the red and yellow piles made it impossible to tell.
Having raised fries for so many years, he could only judge based on past experience: "Based on past experience, he probably wouldn't eat it."
Chen Yiyi was wiping the fries' mouth with a wet wipe. "They're pretty clean, they probably haven't eaten anything."
Leaving such a mess in the room was unpleasant, so Qi Yanche picked up the empty cookie box and filled it with the moths.
Then he picked up the tape next to him and wrapped it all up.
Chen Yiyi wanted to laugh when she saw Qi Yanche's posture, "It's like you're trying to seal it away."
After sealing it up, Qi Yanche tossed it into a corner and disinfected his hands. "Anything can happen these days. What if they come back to life in the middle of the night? This is to be on the safe side."
Only five insects have been found on the 13th floor so far, which is probably thanks to the height of the floor.
Chen Siyu's family was not so lucky. During the day, there were no moths in their house, but a lot of cockroaches appeared, of all sizes and shapes.
Chen Siyu felt that they were most likely not from outside, but were originally hidden in the house.
Zheng Wan's three older sisters were screaming and hitting cockroaches with slippers on the third floor. Although they weren't always successful, they managed to kill a few in their panic.
Zheng Wan and her older sister both put on earplugs, otherwise they really would go deaf.
There was nothing she could do to stop them. Zheng Wan silently prayed for herself, hoping that after today, she would still be able to hear the sounds of this world tomorrow.
The great-grandmother on the first floor felt like her ears were about to explode; the little girl on the third floor had such a beautiful voice.
Although my great-grandmother is old, she is still sharp of hearing and sight, and she can kill cockroaches with incredible accuracy, even more than my father.
Chen Siyu called Xiaozhi out of the space to help. The two families had been busy all day, and their arms were sore.
It wasn't until the afternoon, when Xiaozhi announced that there were no more living cockroaches in the house, that everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It was disgusting to leave so many cockroach corpses in the house, so Chen Siyu asked Xiaozhi to pack them all up and take them out to throw away.
