Chapter 164 Acquisition of Centipede
The three of them were having breakfast. "I'll post the notice of purchasing centipedes later," Leng Yi said.
"Record the audio tape on the loudspeaker and take it out for a spin, otherwise many people won't see the notification." Yang Qing said.
Leng Yi nodded and said, "You have a nice voice. Please help me record it later."
Lu Lin smiled, these two were really showing off their love all the time.
"How do we get out?" Lu Lin asked. "There are centipedes everywhere, there's no place to step."
Yang Qing thought for a moment and said, "I received a lot of protective clothing from the chemical plant before. They should be useful. They are all very thick and not easily bitten. You can wear the protective clothing and go out later."
"By the way, many people were bitten this time. In addition to exchanging food, we can also exchange medicine and protective clothing."
"One hundred kilograms of centipedes can be exchanged for one kilogram of food, five hundred kilograms of centipedes can be exchanged for two antiviral and anti-inflammatory pills, and one thousand kilograms of centipedes can be exchanged for a set of protective clothing."
"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded. Their things were not blown by the wind, so they naturally couldn't be given away for free.
After breakfast, Yang Qing took out a handheld loudspeaker, cleared his throat, turned on the recording function, and recorded the notice about exchanging food and medicine for centipedes.
Leng Yi took the loudspeaker out and played it on a loop so everyone could hear it.
"I'm going out!" Leng Yi took a stun gun for self-defense and took out the walkie-talkie he had used before, "Keep in touch anytime."
Yang Qing took the walkie-talkie and had forgotten about it. With it, he could notify the other party at any time if anything happened.
Leng Yi put on protective clothing and was about to open the door.
"Wait a minute!" Yang Qing took out a few chickens from the space, "It's time to open it."
As soon as the door was opened, several centipedes crawled in. The chicken immediately went forward to peck at the centipedes when it saw them. Yang Qing immediately closed the door to prevent more centipedes from coming in.
Leng Yi walked out, using an electric baton to shock the centipedes that tried to climb onto his body, and killed many of them along the way.
Walking to the door and saying "Open the door" on the intercom, Yang Qing turned off the power of the iron door, and Leng Yi went out and posted the notice on the wall.
Wait until he leaves Yang Qing before turning the power back on.
There are already a lot of dead centipedes piled up under the iron gate, probably all of them were electrocuted to death.
However, the centipedes were so densely packed underground that Yang Qing was about to develop claustrophobia, so he didn't want to go out and clean them up.
Anyway, there will be many people coming to exchange food in the future, so you don’t have to collect it yourself.
After Leng Yi walked out of the door, he turned on the loudspeaker and played it as he walked. Many people heard the sound of the loudspeaker.
"What's that saying on the loudspeaker?"
"It seems like they're saying we can exchange centipedes for food."
"No way? What does he want with the centipede?"
"Who knows? If we can really exchange it for food, we can catch more."
"Hey, I was the one who swept away those centipedes just now. They're mine, don't grab them."
"I hit these, they're mine!"
For a while, many people started fighting over the centipede.
Someone ran up to Leng Yi and saw that he was wearing a protective suit with only a pair of eyes showing. It was impossible to recognize who he was. However, anyone wearing a protective suit was definitely not an ordinary person.
"You really want to collect centipedes, and exchange one hundred kilograms for one kilogram of food. Is that a scam?"
"Of course not. If you kill a centipede, you can go to the villa on the top of the mountain to exchange it. My wife is at home. Five hundred kilograms can be exchanged for two anti-inflammatory pills, and one thousand kilograms can be exchanged for a set of protective clothing like the one I'm wearing." Leng Yi said.
"So he's from the hilltop villa, no wonder he's so rich."
"What do you want a centipede for?" someone asked curiously.
"You don't have to worry about this. It's up to you to decide whether to change it or not." Leng Yi naturally couldn't tell the truth.
Everyone stopped worrying about it. It was a good thing that someone was exchanging it. Centipedes were not edible, and they were so smelly that it was impossible to eat them. If they exchanged them for food, they would have food to eat immediately.
And now there are centipedes everywhere in the mountains, and these centipedes are so big that one hundred kilograms is not a big deal.
Everyone became happy and thought that the centipede's arrival was not a bad thing, as it was bringing food to them.
For a time, every household started to catch centipedes.
With strength in numbers, all the centipedes around the house were wiped out in no time.
Leng Yi walked around and people kept asking him to confirm whether he really collected centipedes. He patiently said yes.
When we got to the management office, we ran into Li Liang, who was also very curious. "Brother Yi, why are you collecting centipedes?"
"It's useful." Leng Yi said without further ado, "Are you free now? If you are, do me a favor and go to my house and kill all the centipedes in the yard. I'll give you some food in exchange."
"Really?" Li Liang's eyes lit up. "Then I'll ask my parents to go with us."
"Don't we have to worry about things here?" Leng Yi asked.
"Who cares? Many people have been bitten by centipedes and are helping at home. There are no instructions from above. We are only responsible for maintaining public security. This kind of thing is not our responsibility," said Li Liang.
Leng Yi nodded, "Then go to my house and help me. My wife and the other two women are the only ones at home and don't dare to go out."
"Brother Yi, don't worry. I'll take care of it." Li Liang patted his chest loudly.
"By the way, do you collect those centipedes that are killed or broken?" Li Liang asked. Those centipedes are so scary. Most people hit them with branches, stones, or whatever they can get their hands on. There must be a lot of them broken.
Leng Yi thought about it and decided that since it would be made into powder in the future, it wouldn’t affect anything. He nodded and said, “I want both!”
"Okay!" Li Liang became excited and hurried home to call his parents.
I was bitten by a centipede yesterday, and now I know that centipedes are not poisonous, so I am not that scared anymore.
When they arrived at the villa on the top of the mountain, Li Liang rang the doorbell, and Yang Qing looked outside, confused.
Li Liang shouted, "Sister-in-law, I'm Li Liang. Brother Yi asked me to come over and help clean up the centipedes in the yard."
Yang Qingcai recognized the young policeman from that day, so he turned off the power to the iron gate and called out, "Come in!"
Li Liang opened the iron gate and went in, bringing his parents with him. The three of them were wearing thick leather shoes, their trouser legs were tied up with rubber bands, and they were holding sticks in their hands and hitting the ground hard.
Yang Qing and Lu Lin were shocked as they watched. Some of the centipedes were smashed to pieces, with juice flying everywhere, which was quite scary.
Li Liang saw a bamboo broom by the door and swept down all the centipedes on the steps to prevent them from running into the house.
He didn't know that the door was blocked with glue, and there was no gap as long as the door was not opened, so the centipede could not get in.
However, Yang Qing was still very grateful for cleaning up the centipedes. At least he wouldn't step on them when opening the door.
Father Li saw that the bamboo broom was quite useful, so he picked up the broom and slapped the ground hard, killing a large number of centipedes. Although they would not die immediately, a few more slaps would be enough.
Seeing that his wife was struggling, he gave her the bamboo broom.
Yang Qing felt a little embarrassed to see that Li Liang's parents were there, but fortunately they were only about fifty years old, not too old, and it could be considered a job.
Seeing that the bamboo broom was useful, Yang Qing took out two more from the space, opened the door, threw them out, and then quickly closed the door.
"Xiao Li, let me take your broom."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Li Liang grinned, wiped the sweat off his face, picked up the bamboo broom and started working again.
