Chapter 82 I want to eat some vegetables today.
The villa smelled terrible because a lot of insecticide had been sprayed inside.
Outside the gate in the courtyard, the area where the pesticide powder was sprinkled was relatively safe; the insects would avoid it, but some fearless insects still tried to come out.
The yard's ground is just mud, without any cement, and it's already riddled with tiny holes.
Gu Jin and the others had installed an electric fence on the wall, so no insects crawled in, but you could smell the odor of insects being electrocuted.
There was no electric fence on the iron gate, and many insects had already crawled in from outside, but they avoided the pesticide powder.
Jiang Li looked at the densely packed small holes on the ground and said.
"It seems the ground in the yard still needs to be cleaned up, otherwise bugs will keep coming out."
Gu Jin shared the same thought and asked Jiang Li, who was standing nearby.
"Do you have cement and sand in your storage space? If not, I'll ask Captain Wang if I can exchange some bags of cement and sand with him."
"There really isn't one."
At the time, we were only thinking about stockpiling food and supplies, so of course we wouldn't stockpile cement and sand.
"It's alright, I'll go find Captain Wang, he should have it."
Gu Jin sent a message to Captain Wang, but didn't get a reply. He was probably busy. Gu Jin talked to the others and decided to drive out directly.
"Let's go outside the yard, the cars are all in my space."
Since it's all foggy now, no one will see it if I just take it out of the space.
The group arrived at the iron gate, holding flamethrowers. Just a few minutes earlier, Jiang Li had realized that insects were afraid of fire.
So now everyone is holding a blowtorch and spraying fire at the iron gate, causing the insects that crawled in from outside to fall off.
Gu Jin yanked open the small door and then breathed fire at the door and the ground, clearing a path.
Jiang Li went outside, took the car out of his spatial storage, and as he put the car on the ground, the sound of insects being crushed echoed.
Gu Jin and Shi Lin quickly got into the car, and Jiang Li hurriedly returned to the villa.
As the car drove off, the sound of tires crushing insects filled the air.
The smell in the yard at that moment was indescribable; it was a mixture of insecticide and the smell of insects being burned and electrocuted, which was really unpleasant.
But there's no way to get out now; there will only be more bugs.
Everything that happened after this life had deviated from the trajectory Jiang Li knew, and Jiang Li had no idea what would happen next.
Although there was an insect plague in my previous life, it wasn't this severe. I don't know why there are so many in this life.
When Gu Jin and Shi Lin returned, there were even more dead insects in the yard.
After Jiang Li put the car back into his spatial storage, the others had already swept up the insect corpses and put them away, which Jiang Li also put into his spatial storage.
Looking at the small hole in the ground, everyone discussed and decided to spray the insecticide again, then sprinkle on the powdered insecticide. Finally, they started laying down the broken bricks and mixing cement and sand.
None of them had ever done anything like this before, but luckily Jiang Li had downloaded a lot of videos, including some like this. At the time, they downloaded whatever they saw, whether it was useful or not, and they never expected it to actually come in handy.
The group watched videos and learned at the same time. Fortunately, they finished laying the dog paving very quickly. Although it couldn't compare to the professionals, it was still pretty good. At least the dog paving was thick and there were no omissions.
After laying the cement, the group returned to the house and realized it was already afternoon. They had been so busy that they had forgotten about lunch.
"Would you like to eat something later?"
Jiang Li asked everyone.
"I don't have an appetite right now. I still have some bread. I'll eat some bread when I'm hungry."
Fu Xiaxia lost her appetite just thinking about the insects and couldn't eat them.
The others also lost their appetite. Although none of them were afraid of insects, there were just too many insects outside, and the scene was too disgusting. Even Gu Jin and the others felt their scalps tingle at the sight.
"However, Jiang Li, do you have any water filtration devices in your space? I'm afraid there are some in the water, so we still need to filter it to make it safe."
Shi Lin brought up an idea, and everyone realized that there must be water in it too. Although Jiang Li's space definitely contained water, they couldn't use Jiang Li's own; it was Jiang Li's stuff, and she probably didn't even have enough for herself.
Besides, even if we use so many of them, there will eventually be a day when they run out. But with a filtration system, it's a different story.
Jiang Li looked into his spatial storage and found that there really were some. Didn't Jiang Li pack up a whole supermarket warehouse of goods before? There were water filters in there, both big and small.
Once upstairs, Jiang Li took them out and placed them at the entrance of the public restroom. The water filter was too large to fit in the restroom.
After connecting the water pipes, the water filter can be used. The water filter has a large water storage tank, which will automatically stop when it is full.
Jiang Li set up two large water filters, enough for several people, and then brought out a few smaller ones for everyone.
Showering is fine, but drinking water would be safer if filtered again.
After the water filter stopped working, Gu Jin took out the filter screen and found several dead insects inside.
Only after confirming that the filtered water was free of insects did the group dare to use it for bathing, and they even boiled it again to feel more at ease.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Gu Jin took the initiative to do the laundry.
After Gu Jin finished washing up, the two sat on the blanket in the bedroom. Jiang Li took out a small table and asked Gu Jin a question.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Gu Jin had already given all of her supplies to Jiang Li.
Gu Jin thought for a moment.
I want to eat some vegetables today.
I really don't have much of an appetite today.
Jiang Li knew that Gu Jin actually liked eating meat, and he must have been disgusted by it today.
Jiang Li took out two bowls of noodles, then a plate of pickled radish cubes and salted vegetables, and two plates of vegetarian dishes, placing them on the small table.
I didn't feel hungry when I was busy, but now that I'm sitting down, I realize I'm starving.
The two of them didn't have time to talk; they just focused on eating.
After finally finishing their meal, Gu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. After eating, he told Jiang Li to rest aside while he took the dishes and chopsticks that the two of them had used and washed them.
Jiang Li leaned against the bedside, watching the busy Gu Jin, and was quite satisfied with this boyfriend.
After Gu Jin finished washing, Jiang Li put the dishes and chopsticks, along with the small table, into his space, and then he and Gu Jin lay down on the bed to rest.
Several people take turns on duty at night to prevent insects from crawling into the house in the middle of the night.
Inside the courtyard, Gu Jin and the others also installed lights. Jiang Li and Gu Jin stayed in the house and were able to sleep at first, but later they became restless.
Although this is a villa, the soundproofing is far worse than before the apocalypse, and no soundproof walls have been built. The noise is even more noticeable at night.
Jiang Li could hear the sounds of his neighbors swatting insects and screaming all the while.
Jiang Li really couldn't sleep. He was a light sleeper in the apocalypse and would wake up at the slightest noise.
As soon as Jiang Li opened her eyes and turned over, Gu Jin immediately realized that Jiang Li was awake.
Gu Jin asked Jiang Li in a low voice, and turned on the nightlight by the bedside.
"What's wrong? Can't you sleep?"
