Shen Zhijie lightly punched Brother Wang in the chest and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, I'll remember this!"
"Be careful when you go out on business. If anything happens, let your brother know." The two looked at each other and smiled.
When Xiao Mu returned home after leaving Jiang Yao's house, Shen Zhijie had already prepared breakfast.
When Shen Zhijie saw Xiao Mu return, he joked, "Oh, you're back!"
Xiao Mu ignored him and sat down at the table to start eating.
Seeing this, Shen Zhijie obediently sat down next to Xiao Mu to eat.
When Jiang Xue returned to the 9th floor, Brother Wang and the others had already left. Looking at the fine iron mesh that had been installed, she felt an even stronger sense of oppression.
At night, everyone was awakened by a buzzing sound coming from the fine iron mesh of the window. Some people went to check, but could not see anything, only feel a series of vibrations.
A daring person shone a flashlight on it and discovered that the fine wire mesh was teeming with an insect they had never seen before.
Footsteps came from afar. It was Shen Xi and Brother Wang from the government. Seeing that everyone was staring at the fine iron netting, they shouted, "Everyone, step back! Step back!"
"Keep a safe distance from the fine wire mesh and do not touch it."
"Do not leave the shelter without permission. From now on, the shelter will be under complete lockdown."
Someone in the crowd said that her husband had gone out to look for supplies and hadn't returned yet.
Some people are also planning to go out tomorrow to look for supplies.
Everyone was somewhat resistant, but no one refuted them.
Shen Xi frowned, exchanged a glance with Brother Wang, and guessed that those who went out would probably have a hard time coming back.
"Please be patient, everyone. It's very dangerous outside. The authorities have already installed a dense wire mesh to ensure your safety," Zhou Bin reassured everyone.
Looking at the insects on the fine wire mesh, Jiang Yao recalled Xiao Mu's words and vaguely felt that Xiao Mu probably knew something.
Seeing so many insects on the fine wire mesh, Jiang Xue was frightened and stepped back, moving her luggage away from the window.
Turning back to look at Xiao Mu and Jiang Yao's house, a longing inadvertently surfaced in her eyes, revealing her deep yearning for the place.
When will Xiao Mu notice her?
When will I be able to live in a house like this?
Early in the morning, Jiang Yao was awakened by the buzzing of insects on the fine wire mesh of the window. When she looked up, she saw that there was already a thick layer of insects.
Fortunately, the official setup used a fine wire mesh; if it had been a regular mesh, it probably wouldn't have lasted long either.
Upon arriving at the kitchen, Jiang Yao noticed a slight unusual noise coming from the drain. She wondered if these insects could enter through the drain.
Jiang Yao arrived at Shen Zhijie's house and told the two of them about the problem she found at the kitchen drain.
Shen Zhijie also said, "I just noticed it too. There was a slight strange noise from the drain. At first, I thought I was just imagining things and didn't pay any attention to it."
"Now that you mention it, Jiang Yao, there really is a sound."
"Could these insects also enter through drains and sewage outlets?"
Seeing Jiang Yao's thoughtfulness, Xiao Mu slowly said, "No, it's not possible."
Jiang Yao, along with Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie, arrived at the home of official Shen Xi. Shen Xi was contacting the military, hoping to obtain further information about the insects from them.
The military's response was that the expert group had not yet found a specific solution.
Shen Xi looked at Xiao Mu and the others and said, "Why did you all come here?"
Jiang Yao said with some concern, "This morning I noticed some strange noises coming from the kitchen drain."
“Not just my family, but Shen Zhijie’s family is too.”
"Shen Xi, check your drain and sewage outlets. See if there are any unusual noises coming from them," Shen Zhijie urged.
When Shen Xi arrived at the kitchen, she noticed a strange noise coming from her drain. Upon closer listening, it sounded a bit like the rustling of insects crawling around.
The thought of the drains and sewage outlets crawling with insects makes me itch all over.
Shen Xi quickly contacted Zhou Bin and the others to come to a meeting...
After discussion, the group decided to use the leftover cement from building the safe shelter to seal all the gaps.
When the blockade was implemented, some people disagreed, after all, if everything was blocked, how would the natural fertilizer that was discharged be disposed of?
There was really no other way but to adopt a voluntary system. Those who did not agree were required to stay at home, prohibited from going out, and could only come out after the insect infestation had passed.
There's no other way; for everyone's safety, this is the only thing we can do.
The village chief's family refused to agree to the lockdown, and everyone demanded that he be quarantined.
Village Chief: They're just some bugs, what's there to be afraid of?
They're all country folk, why are they pretending to be city people?
At night, the sound of insects' wings vibrating in the drain became increasingly noticeable.
The village chief's wife said to him somewhat fearfully, "I feel like these bugs are a bit strange. Maybe we should contact the authorities tomorrow and have them block up the drain and sewage outlets!"
"What are you afraid of? Haven't you ever seen a bug before?" He rolled his eyes dismissively.
"No, listen, I feel like the sound is coming right inside our house." The village chief's wife's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
"Don't worry, just sleep soundly! I'm here!" the village chief reassured her.
The next morning, the village chief's wife found a flying insect in the kitchen. She quickly called the village chief over and said, "Get up, get up! Look, look! Isn't this an insect on the outside window?"
Upon seeing this, the village chief asked, "Where did you find it?"
"In the corner of the kitchen."
"Is it a lot? Get rid of it quickly, don't let the second son's family see it."
During the day, no one noticed that the village chief's house was filled with these insects in a corner of the kitchen.
