Chapter 253 Destroy it quickly
As soon as the authorities contacted the neighboring province, they released the news through a loudspeaker.
Now everyone is hiding underground, and no one lives on the ground. The whole city is not only quiet, but also extremely empty, so when the loudspeaker sounds, the sound can be heard from far away.
The survivors who stayed in the shelter were fine. After all, they had official support, there were many of them, and the shelter could be reinforced quickly. As long as the entrance was sealed, the locusts would not be able to break through the wall.
There were even many survivors who didn't take it seriously, thinking that what was a locust? The grain cakes were made of cockroaches and mosquitoes, didn't they eat them anyway?
Besides, the temperature outside is so high that people can’t stand it, and insects certainly can’t stand it either. If they really come, they will also be a feast for humans.
Not only the survivors in the shelter had this idea, but even the scattered survivors outside were dreaming of a locust feast.
However, most people were still clear-headed. Regardless of whether locusts could be eaten, if the place they lived in was not reinforced, swarms of locusts would fly over their heads and suffocate them to death.
Ants can bite elephants to death, let alone the locusts in the end times. It is not certain who will be food for whom by then.
Especially those who live outside, most of them choose places like basements and underground garages.
Some basements are better, with the same iron doors as those of the upstairs residents, while others have shabby wooden doors, and some even have no doors at all.
Because of the hot weather, most people went into the shelter, so it didn’t matter whether there was a door or not, as long as they could avoid the sun.
But locusts are not blind, they can fly and turn. If a large number of locusts rush in, how can humans end up well?
So everyone was rushing to find ways to reinforce it.
At least the basement can be reinforced in a certain direction, but the underground garage is interconnected, so how can it be reinforced?
Those who chose to live here were either a large family or a team. There were too many people, so they thought it would be more spacious to live here.
But now, although it is spacious, there is not even a place to hide.
Someone suggested hiding upstairs. It was hot there, and the locusts could only stay in S City for a few days at most before leaving.
Some people thought it was too much trouble to hide upstairs. With so many people, how could they be afraid of tiny insects? Some people even started to make tents to catch locusts.
They are a whole family, and they can drag people away. People who are in a team have better relationships than ordinary people. Who would waste time and care about your life or death at this time?
Being able to give some advice is already doing your best.
When people move upstairs, they must take their rations with them, but other supplies cannot be left here.
As long as they were thrown down, it would be equivalent to giving food to the locusts for free. Even if they escaped the locusts, where could they find these supplies? So they could only take them all away.
Some people were busy reinforcing, some were busy moving, and some were wondering what locusts smelled like.
The locust army finally had enough of staying in the neighboring province, and rushed towards S City with their heads down, bringing their locust descendants with them.
At that moment, the entire sky was covered by locusts, so dense that almost no light could penetrate. They were so dense that they covered the sky and the earth, and the accompanying roaring buzzing sound of their wings could be heard clearly even if everyone was hiding underground.
Apart from the official having a few special cameras that can monitor the scene outside, other people are so scared just by hearing the sound that they dare not even dream of catching locusts.
In fact, the appearance of locusts now is much better than when it is extremely hot. First of all, there is no one on the ground, so casualties can be minimized. As long as the door is sealed tightly, it is safer than living on the ground.
The only bad thing is that after the accumulated water recedes, the supplies in the low-rise buildings will be eaten up by locusts before the survivors can search them carefully.
But it's useless to feel sorry for others, because God obviously doesn't want humans to have an easy life, and if it's not locusts, it will be some other disaster.
When the locusts came, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci had just laid down on the bed to rest. Before they had closed their eyes for a while, they heard noises coming from outside.
First there was a slight "bang" sound at the door.
The two looked at each other and knew in their hearts that the locust army must have arrived.
After a few minutes, the banging noises became louder and louder, as if countless people were outside banging on the door.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The sound was dull and continuous, rising and falling.
With every collision, Shi Jiaojiao's heart would beat violently.
Fortunately, the door of the cave opens outwards. The door is outside the cave and is larger than the cave entrance.
The greater the force of the impact outside, the tighter the door is pushed and squeezed into the cave, which in turn seals the cave more tightly.
And even if one door can't hold up, there is a big iron door waiting for them inside.
Wang Jia stared straight at the cave entrance. Although he knew that the cave was very safe, the collisions still made him feel uneasy. If the locusts rushed in, he couldn't imagine what would happen to them.
She turned on the intercom tremblingly: "Jiaojiao, our door should be able to withstand it, right?"
Shi Jiaojiao said: "Don't worry, no matter how much the locusts evolve, they won't be able to eat iron. If they were really that powerful, they would just rule the world."
That being said, the four of them still stared blankly and did not sleep all night.
You may feel a little nervous at first, after all, the danger is only two doors away from them, and they might rush in and take a bite of your flesh.
But later on, the four of them were more annoyed by the noise.
The sound of the collision was dull, dense and continuous, mixed with the non-stop buzzing sound of wings flapping, which made people irritated and frustrated, and they wished they could just rush out and die together with this noisy army of locusts.
It's simply spiritual pollution!
Mu Ci checked both doors to make sure the locusts wouldn't rush in, then took out two pairs of earplugs.
You have to wear it. People can survive a day without sleep, but looking at the number of locusts, it is obvious that more than one or two days can be spent on them.
If we really want to wait until the locusts leave, we will probably have to wait until we are exhausted.
Shi Jiaojiao rubbed the earplug into small pieces and then inserted it into the ear canal. As the earplug slowly bounced back, the disturbing sounds outside gradually disappeared.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei were not as comfortable as Shi Jiaojiao. They were really trying to escape for their lives, so how could they possibly keep things like earplugs?
It’s okay to live in the mountains now. There are no strangers, so it’s not that dangerous.
When I was living in Tiantai Community, I would always keep one eye open to keep watch when I slept, for fear that someone would suddenly break in and kill me, so it was even more impossible for me to cover my ears.
So now the two of them could only continue to be tortured by the noises outside with tears in their eyes.
Fortunately, there are two doors separating us, otherwise the noise outside would have been even louder.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
Wang Jia and Tang Wei lay on the bed with lifeless eyes.
Ah, I want to destroy the world!
