Chapter 256 The Locust Army Finally Leaves
Tang Wei was pushed awake and was confused. He only reacted after hearing what his girlfriend said.
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately got out of bed and leaned against the door carefully.
I listened carefully for five minutes before finally confirming that the sound was indeed gone.
He turned around and looked at Wang Jia, his eyes full of excitement.
Wang Jia immediately picked up the intercom, her joy almost overflowing from her voice: "Jiaojiao, the locust army seems to have left!"
In order to block out the noise of impact, Shi Jiaojiao always wears earplugs when she sleeps.
She could vaguely hear a voice coming from the intercom, but couldn't make out what was being said, so she took off her earplugs.
It happened that Wang Jia was so excited that she repeated the same sentence over and over again three times, and Shi Jiaojiao finally heard it clearly.
The locusts left?
She turned her head to look at the door, and the banging sound was indeed gone.
She immediately put down the intercom, and then worked with Mu Ci to move the blocking iron gate away.
Their hearing was much better than Wang Jia's and the others', and they could hear clearly what the other party couldn't hear.
There were slight rustling sounds outside the door, and some faint buzzing sounds.
The locust swarms did leave.
However, there should still be a lot of stragglers left outside.
After the two men restored the door to its original state, Mu Ci spoke up: "The main force should have left first."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded. The locusts had stayed in City S for five days. After eating all the food, they would of course move on to the next city.
She turned on the intercom and said, "My brother and I heard some noises outside just now. There should be quite a few left after the main force left. To be on the safe side, we should wait a little longer. It won't cost us any more time anyway."
No one has ever seen mutated locusts, and a small number does not mean safety.
Anyway, they have waited for so many days, they can afford to wait one more day.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei suppressed their urge to open the door and nodded in agreement.
They listen to advice and understand the principle of having enough food to eat.
And what if they opened the door and the locusts left outside swarmed in?
Even if no one is hurt, losing other supplies is also cutting one's own flesh.
It doesn't make sense that after finally surviving the locust plague, we would end up failing here.
Although the locusts have not completely left, the frustrating banging on the door outside has disappeared after the main force left.
That alone is exciting enough.
Wang Jia couldn't control herself and kept running to the door to listen, and then to listen.
If locusts could understand human language, she would have given a 3,000-word speech to hold a farewell party.
Shi Jiaojiao also breathed a sigh of relief and put the earplugs into the space. Finally, she didn't have to wear this thing anymore.
Although it is made of memory foam, it is still uncomfortable to wear for a long time.
Moreover, even though she and Mu Ci had earplugs and space, they were still tortured severely.
These past few days have been like a slow burn. I feel like I'll be in a trance if I wait a few more days.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei were even worse off. In just a few days, both of them looked like they had been sucked dry. The dark circles under their eyes were so heavy that they could COS zombies by sticking a talisman on their foreheads.
It was impossible to sleep at night. Every time they finally fell asleep, there would be a "bang" outside. Countless times every day, the two of them wanted to rush out and die together with the locusts.
Not only were they not getting enough rest, but their tempers were also becoming more and more irritable, and the slightest thing would make them angry.
So the two of them spoke as little as possible these past few days. Firstly, they were afraid that the locusts outside would hear the noise and be even more reluctant to leave. Secondly, the sound of their own talking was annoying enough.
Wang Jia felt that if the locusts didn't leave, she would have to fight with Tang Wei.
As time went by, not only did I become more and more irritable, but my appetite also got worse and worse. In the last few days, I couldn't even eat anything. I wanted to vomit at the sight of anything. I couldn't even drink water, and I heard auditory hallucinations all the time.
Now that the locust swarms have left, the sounds have disappeared, and their appetite has returned!
To celebrate, Wang Jia and Tang Wei specially took a bunch of food that they usually wouldn't eat and arrogantly filled the table with it.
One person even drank half a bottle of wine and fell asleep when he was drunk.
God knows how long it has been since they had such a good sleep.
I was drunk and sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as I closed my eyes.
Shi Jiaojiao had just received a call from Qin Jun.
On the one hand, I was worried about the four people, and on the other hand, I also wanted to provide information.
Anyone could sense the locusts passing by.
But not everyone has the ability to measure temperature.
After Shi Jiaojiao hung up the phone, she sat on the bed and thought.
Counting the time, it has been three and a half months since the polar day arrived. The highest temperature is 88 degrees, and the lowest, no, the temperature has never been lower.
If the polar day lasts for half a year like previous disasters, then more than half of it has already passed.
She thought that the temperature during the polar day would be like this, but Qin Jun just said on the phone that the temperature is very likely to change.
This is the news sent by Dad from the capital.
Although the country cannot prevent natural disasters from happening, it has not relaxed various monitoring measures.
It cannot be stopped. Humans cannot just sit there and wait to die.
The latest monitoring results show that the temperature may drop sharply!
You know, the temperature outside has been high and the earth is almost baked, how could it drop suddenly?
No one believed it at all, and some even suspected that there was something wrong with the machine.
But the machine was checked three times, and re-monitored dozens of times, and still got the same result.
The temperature dropped suddenly!
So is polar day still polar day?
Or is the polar day coming to an end?
Otherwise there is no way to explain why the temperature suddenly dropped.
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't figure it out either, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
In her previous life, she had never even experienced polar day, let alone such an outrageous temperature drop now!
Is God going to kill everyone?
Mu Ci sat on the sofa, his expression extremely solemn.
Cooling down is a good thing, but to what extent?
Will the temperature continue to rise?
What is the method of sudden drop?
No one knows the answer now.
However, the news is still uncertain, and the Qin army also wants them to have a general idea and prepare in advance.
Shi Jiaojiao picked up the intercom and wanted to tell the news to Wang Jia and the other person, but the two of them didn't get enough rest for a long time and had been drinking, so they didn't respond after she called them twice.
Shi Jiaojiao had no choice but to give up and think it would be the same to wait until tomorrow.
At night, the noise outside was almost inaudible, even when Shi Jiaojiao pressed against the door, she couldn't hear it.
That night was the best night for everyone. There was no noise to disturb their dreams and no locusts to threaten their lives all the time. They felt extremely satisfied.
The seventh day after the locusts arrived was also the second day after the large group of locusts left.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci got up early, and after eating, they transferred all the things in the cave into the space, to prevent locusts from flying in after the door was opened and destroying the supplies.
After the two men were fully armed, they first moved away the large iron door blocking the cave.
There was no movement outside, and the cave entrance was intact. After being attacked by locusts for so many days, it was not damaged at all.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci looked at each other and began to push the outermost cave door.
Under the pressure and impact of locusts day and night in the past few days, the door was embedded directly into the mountain wall. The two of them worked together and the door was finally pushed open.
The light from outside suddenly shone in. Shi Jiaojiao squinted her eyes. Although she was wearing sunglasses, her eyes were still a little uncomfortable after living in darkness for several days.
After waiting for a few seconds, she could see the outside world clearly.
