"I'm sorry for causing you trouble!" Li Shengnan felt a little guilty.
I never expected that my former colleague would treat me like this.
"It's okay, let's go!" Yang Qing stared at the people behind her who were eager to jump onto the rubber boat, and she never put down the crossbow in her hand.
Those people were still afraid of the ferocious Yang Qing and did not dare to step forward.
Suddenly someone screamed, "Ah, something bit me!"
“Ah, that hurts!”
"Why did you push me?"
"I was bitten too!"
"What?"
I saw countless snakes jumping out of the water and biting the crowd as soon as they swam to the shore.
"Oh my god, it's snakes, so many snakes!"
“Run!”
The crowd suddenly became chaotic, everyone pushed and shoved as they ran upwards. Some people fell down, and the crowd stepped on their heads and bodies.
Someone was pushed into the water and started floundering, “Help, help!”
Soon countless snakes wrapped around the man and sank him into the water.
A snake also crawled towards the rubber boat, but because the edge of the rubber boat was inflated and smooth like a tire, it could not climb up for a while.
"Go!" Yang Qing shouted, and Jiang Hao hurriedly started the engine to accelerate.
Leng Yi, Li Shengnan and Gao Yang all picked up knives and slashed at the snakes that tried to climb onto the rubber boat.
There was a snake following him in the water, so Leng Yi kept stabbing with his knife, and the water was filled with the smell of blood from time to time.
Yang Qing's face turned pale. She was most afraid of these long mollusks, especially snakes.
And there seemed to be no snakes in the previous life, why is it different in this life?
I don't know if these snakes are poisonous.
Yang Qing quickly took out some realgar from the space and poured it around the rubber boat. The snakes in the water seemed afraid to get closer after smelling the scent.
In addition, the speed is too fast for the snake to keep up.
Yang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered that Lu Lin and Wang Min were still at home. He wondered if the snake would get in. His expression changed, "Go home quickly!"
When they reached the corridor, the stairs were already covered with snakes, wriggling densely. Yang Qing's claustrophobia was about to kick in.
"Qingqing, you and Li Shengnan stay on the rubber boat first, leave this here to us!" Leng Yi said.
He took a handful of realgar from Yang Qing and scattered it over, and the snakes scattered in fear.
The three men raised their knives and slashed at the snakes.
"Be careful, they are poisonous!" Yang Qing shouted from behind, not knowing whether these snakes were poisonous or not.
The three men ignored the heat, put on gloves, rolled up their trouser legs, and chopped at the snake on the ground with all their might.
Soon, the ground was filled with snake corpses. Some were chopped into pieces and were still wriggling, which made people's scalps tingle.
"Can these snakes be eaten?" Jiang Hao suddenly asked. Although snakes are a bit scary, they also have meat.
"Don't even think about it. Just throw it away first. We don't need a bite to eat!" Leng Yi said, kicking all the snakes in the corridor into the water.
Yang Qing sprinkled realgar on his own and Li Shengnan's feet, fearing that more snakes would follow.
After reaching the corridor, they sprinkled layers of realgar on the ground to prevent the snake from coming up again.
"Hurry upstairs and see how Lu Lin and Wang Min are doing." Yang Qing shouted.
But the door was locked. Yang Qing knocked on it hard, "Linlin, Linlin!"
Lu Lin hid in the room and didn't dare to come out when she heard the noise. Her voice was trembling, "Qingqing, there's a snake!"
"Are you okay?" Yang Qing shouted.
"I'm fine. I'm in the room and I blocked the door, but I don't dare to go out." Lu Lin responded.
Leng Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll climb up through the window!"
Yang Qing grabbed a handful of realgar powder and sprinkled it on him. Then he gave him a small packet and shouted towards the door, "Linlin, open the window! Leng Yi is trying to climb up!"
"Got it!" Lu Lin responded quickly.
Leng Yi retreated to the outside of the corridor and climbed up the outer wall with his bare hands.
Fortunately, there is only one layer, which is not difficult for someone like him who has served in the army.
They soon reached the window. Lu Lin opened the window, Leng Yi jumped in, and quickly closed the window.
"Are you okay?" Leng Yi looked at Lu Lin.
"I'm fine!" Lu Lin quickly shook her head. "After I discovered the snake, I immediately closed all the doors and windows and blocked the gap in the door. But there might be a snake in the living room, so you have to be careful!"
"Yeah!" Leng Yi responded, took out a handful of realgar powder from his pocket and sprinkled it on the side of the door, then opened the door.
There was a security door outside with a small gap, so there were only a few small snakes in the living room. Leng Yi quickly killed all the snakes.
I sprinkled a handful of realgar powder in front of the door, opened the door, and found there were still many snakes in the corridor.
There was another round of hacking, the snake's head and body flew everywhere, and the snake's blood splattered all over the wall.
Finally, all the snakes were killed and the door was opened to let Yang Qing and the others in.
As soon as Jiang Hao came up, he immediately knocked on the door of Room 702 and shouted, "Xiao Min, Xiao Min, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Wang Min's voice came from inside, "But there's a snake in the living room..."
Leng Yi held the realgar in his hand and nodded to Jiang Hao. Gao Yang also raised his knife and rushed in as soon as the door opened.
Fortunately, there were not many snakes, only a few small ones.
The doors and windows of 702 have also been replaced, so it is well sealed. Not many snakes come in, and they are all small ones.
"Everyone, check carefully again to see if there are any snakes in the corners, ventilation ducts, toilets, and sewers..." Yang Qing reminded them and also gave Li Shengnan and the others a small bag of realgar.
"Why do you have so many of these?" Gao Yang was very curious.
"I got it from my previous company," Yang Qing replied. "Our company is in the Chinese herbal medicine business."
"No wonder!" Gao Yang nodded. Fortunately, there was Yang Qing, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
"Leng Yi, check the two rooms on the eighth floor again and block the gaps under the iron door on the top floor." Yang Qing said to Leng Yi. She didn't dare to go up.
"Okay, don't worry. Go back to the room and be careful to see if there are any snakes left." Leng Yi nodded.
Yang Qing pulled Lu Lin, and the two of them held realgar in one hand and a knife in the other, and checked every corner. The places where there were exhaust fans, range hood pipes, and gaps in doors and windows were all blocked.
Then sprinkle realgar powder on them, so snakes shouldn't be able to get in, right?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after all the inspections were completed and gathered in Room 701.
"Where do these snakes come from? Why are there so many snakes?" Jiang Hao asked.
Yang Qing shook her head. She didn’t know either, as she had never encountered a snake in her previous life.
This life has changed.
"Everyone should stay at home for the time being. Realgar should be able to hold out for a while."
"Don't eat the snake, just in case it's poisonous. Let's hear from the authorities."
Yang Qing took out the radio. After so long in the apocalypse, official radio stations had been built one after another. There were some news from time to time, but it was always intermittent.
I checked the sound, but haven't heard anything yet.
Yang Qing took out the iron mesh screen, insecticide, rat glue and other things he had exchanged from Haozi before.
"I bought this a few days ago. I was expecting mosquitoes, rats, and other things to come when the weather gets hot, but I didn't expect snakes to come first. You should use it first. Nail screens on the doors and windows. It's also effective against snakes. Then you can open the windows a little to let in some fresh air."
"Thank you!" Gao Yang and the others were very grateful. They didn't expect Yang Qing to be so well prepared. They also guessed that high temperatures would occur, but they had never considered the consequences of high temperatures.
If it weren't for Yang Qing, they really didn't know how they would have gotten through it.
