Chapter 47: The Cockroaches Are Raging
Thinking of this, Shi Jiaojiao sent a message to the group.
“Not recommended for consumption.”
She is not a saint, but there are indeed many innocent people hiding in this community.
Perhaps they are too timid to do evil; or perhaps they cannot cross that hurdle because of their inner moral bottom line.
These people are now facing the same dilemma, that is, running out of ammunition and food.
What if they listened to Xiao Guo, couldn’t resist the temptation, and made it themselves to eat?
Now that the cockroaches have appeared, the black cake is not far away.
If you can, just be patient.
As soon as Shi Jiaojiao's words came out, the group suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.
She didn't care and just turned off her phone.
There may be people who don't listen to advice and insist on trying it themselves.
Then try it and die.
Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost.
When it was time for dinner, Xiao Hei discovered that his favorite chicken legs were not available.
The whole tiger seemed to be struck by lightning, and its eyes dimmed instantly.
Shi Jiaojiao snorted, without any mercy, "Who told you to pick up things randomly?"
He was holding fried chicken in one hand and fried skewers in the other, and he was eating so much that his eyes had to be squinted.
It is true that there are thousands of delicious foods in the world, and fried happiness accounts for half of them!
Not long after Shi Jiaojiao finished her meal, the neighborhood suddenly became noisy.
She frowned and opened the owners' group.
It turned out that someone secretly roasted cockroaches and ate them.
Originally this person also refused because cockroaches are so disgusting.
But his whole family could not survive on that little bit of relief food, so he just gritted his teeth and took a taste.
Sprinkle a little bit of salt on the roasted cockroaches. It tastes really good, so I ate a few more.
Unexpectedly, after a while his stomach began to hurt unbearably, as if all his intestines were twisted into a ball, and then he began to vomit and have diarrhea.
As his face grew paler, his family members began to worry.
He is the pillar of the family. If he were to pass away, the family would fall apart!
The old man at home made a prompt decision and rushed the person to the hospital. Now only in the hospital can there be a glimmer of hope for survival.
Of course, this wasn't the only accident that happened that day.
More than ten people from the entire community were sent to the hospital at once.
Fortunately, their community is not far from the hospital, and it is not bright daytime, so they don’t have to endure the high temperature.
However, not everyone is so lucky.
Only half of the people who were sent came back.
Fifty percent mortality rate.
Moreover, those who survived had suffered greatly, their bodies were damaged, and they were already lacking in food, so now there was no way for them to replenish their bodies.
In the increasingly difficult days to come, their fate can be imagined.
Before going to bed, Shi Jiaojiao suddenly received a reminder from Jinwu——
【Gratitude value +16】
This is a pleasant surprise. Although I don’t know what the gratitude value is used for, it never does any harm.
Those who had managed to escape were all scared out of their wits by what happened today.
Everyone was thinking in their hearts that there were always people in the community saying that the person on the 20th floor was cold-blooded, that he himself enjoyed a good life but did not help others in their time of need.
However, if the person was truly cold-blooded, he would not have said that extra sentence in the group.
By then, it’s still unclear whether my life can be saved.
Today is really thanks to them.
…
As time went by, the number of cockroaches increased.
For a while, the Internet was flooded with cockroaches.
Many photos and videos taken by netizens have been circulated everywhere.
Not only do cockroaches from outside come into the house, but because of the hot weather, food spoils quickly, and the house becomes a breeding ground for cockroaches.
Under the bed, in the storage room, and in every hidden corner have all become insect nests.
There are so many little cockroaches that it makes my scalp tingle at the sight of them. People with trypophobia will just turn away when they see them.
The whole city seemed to be surrounded by cockroaches.
You can’t kill them all. You can’t kill them all.
Fortunately, although the cockroaches have mutated, they still cannot withstand the power of the insecticide, and their numbers have obviously decreased a lot after using it.
The insecticide that was originally unpopular was now sold out and hard to come by.
Shi Jiaojiao and the other three were fine, after all, there was a door in the corridor on the 19th floor and another door in the corridor on the 20th floor.
With layer upon layer of blocking, they could hardly see any trace of cockroaches on these two floors.
Not to mention that Shi Jiaojiao also sprayed a lot of insecticide in every corner.
However, things were not so good for others.
The area below the 19th floor became the hardest hit area.
Cockroaches reproduce very quickly and are impossible to exterminate.
If I don't open the windows, the house is like a steamer. If I open the windows, cockroaches will crawl into the house again and again.
I never thought that cockroaches would one day become a disaster.
Just when everyone was exhausted by the cockroaches, the government and the army came out.
On the road, soldiers holding flamethrowers sprayed flames one by one. Soon, an enticing fragrance wafted into everyone's nose.
At the same time, there were staff on the bus who kept broadcasting announcements using loudspeakers.
In addition, the Internet, text messages, television, radio, and every other channel you can think of release the latest information to ensure that everyone can keep up to date with the situation.
Shi Jiaojiao's mobile phone also received this message.
The government issued a notice encouraging people to exchange cockroaches for supplies, and every household could receive a bottle of insecticide for free.
She opened the calendar and glanced at the date, and found that the government's response this time was obviously much faster than in her previous life.
As far as she can remember, when the insect plague occurred this time, although the government took action, it did not provide benefits such as free distribution of pesticides.
Thinking back to her experiences in her previous life, Shi Jiaojiao felt extremely heavy.
At that time, everyone was facing a huge survival crisis, and the large-scale death toll plunged the country into an unprecedented predicament.
Countless families have been torn apart, and everyone's life is filled with fear and despair at all times.
Not only that, the country is also overwhelmed and exhausted from dealing with these strange natural disasters.
Although the country tried every possible means, there was no solution. It could only watch the natural disaster rage and constantly strive to keep up with the pace of disaster.
At that time, the country had just developed drought-resistant crops, but then extreme cold came without warning, and all the research results were wasted.
But now, I believe the country has developed a countermeasure.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiaojiao felt much more relaxed.
Wang Jia was a little surprised when she received the news. "Trading cockroaches for supplies? What do they want cockroaches for?"
Shi Jiaojiao did not tell the truth, and the secret of the black cake was revealed more than a month after it was released.
Wang Jia couldn't figure it out, so he just put it aside and made a suggestion instead.
"We can't let this opportunity go. Even though ten kilograms of cockroaches can be exchanged for one kilogram of broken rice, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is."
Wang Jia's eyes were full of eagerness to try, she found that hoarding food was really addictive.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci looked at each other and didn't say anything.
Tang Wei stood aside with a gloomy face, and rejection was written all over his body.
But then I thought about the food stored in my home and my own appetite.
You have to grit your teeth and go ahead.
