"A large number of locusts are about to reach the shelter! Please take protective measures!"
The sound of alarms and official loudspeaker announcements mixed together, making people feel uneasy.
Jiang Fei quickly ran downstairs, got on a pickup truck and drove to Dongyang District.
The sky was visibly getting darker.
The streets were in chaos.
Some people frantically slammed the closed doors of shops, while others ran around like headless flies.
"Boss! I'm too far away from home! Open the door and let me in to hide for a while! I can buy things from your store!"
"Ah! Who bumped into me?!"
"Open the door! I don't want to be surrounded by locusts!"
"No, it's just a locust. It doesn't bite or eat human flesh. I can kill one with just one slap. What are you afraid of?"
"Or look behind you..."
The person who seemed indifferent just now turned around and looked pale.
A swarm of locusts swept in.
Each locust is larger than an adult's palm.
A thick gray sky blocked out the bright sunshine, as if the dark clouds gathered during a thunderstorm were now descending.
The rustling sound of the locusts' wings makes one's scalp tingle.
“Run!!!”
After experiencing all kinds of extreme weather, there are few plants left in the safe area. The locust swarms cannot find food, so they begin to attack humans frantically.
"Ah my face! Who said locusts don't bite?!"
"Get away! Stay away from me!"
"I feel something biting my leg! Help!!!"
The locust swarm not only surrounded the humans, but also surrounded Jiang Fei's pickup truck.
The locusts completely blocked the car's windshield, and the insects' thorny legs and moving mouthparts could be clearly seen.
They were so densely packed that Jiang Fei got goosebumps and immediately used the windshield wipers to drive away the locusts.
Sometimes you can hear the crackling sound of locusts being knocked down or hitting cars.
After finally driving back to 0-02 in Dongyang District, the car was full of locusts and I couldn't get out.
Jiang Fei climbed into the spacious back seat and took out a motorcycle helmet, a bite-proof and puncture-proof diving suit, a pair of gloves, and a flamethrower from the supermarket warehouse.
After dressing neatly and making sure no skin was exposed, Jiang Fei opened the car door and got out. At the same time, he pressed the flamethrower with his other hand and ran towards the door.
The locusts were afraid of fire and immediately moved away from Jiang Fei, but a few of them still managed to escape and followed her into the yard.
Jiang Fei burned him to death with a flamethrower.
A faint burnt aroma filled the air.
The chicks and geese in the cage were excited and kept cackling.
Locusts are a delicious delicacy for poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese.
Picking up six roasted locusts on the ground, Jiang Fei fed them to the boss, then took off his helmet and went into the house to see Dahuang.
She has the habit of closing the windows when she goes out. The air conditioner outdoor unit and all the pipes are protected, so locusts cannot get in.
But Dahuang is timid, so don't be scared by the locusts.
Jiang Fei found the angry Da Huang in the quilt of the master bedroom on the second floor.
A few minutes ago, Dahuang was lying on the windowsill of the cat's room basking in the sun, when suddenly a large group of ugly and terrifying insects jumped out.
Dahuang was so scared that he rolled and crawled into the bed.
It needs the scent of Twolegs!
"Don't be afraid, I'm back." Jiang Fei picked up Dahuang and coaxed him. He also took out a small bag of catnip and poured it on the ground to relax it.
After comforting Da Huang, Jiang Fei took out the walkie-talkie to contact his teammates.
Lu Yu, Xiao Chuxia, and Su Liuyuan were all fine, and the doors and windows of their homes were closed.
Ling Zhaorui is at the planting base, which is too far away to be contacted.
He works in a greenhouse, so there shouldn't be any problem.
But it is hard to say about the crops grown in the planting base.
Wherever locusts go, no grass will grow. They will eat all food, including crops.
Even dead branches and leaves are not spared.
If the number of locusts exceeds hundreds of millions, they can eat the food rations of hundreds of thousands of people in one day.
What’s even more terrifying is that locusts have a short lifespan but a strong reproductive capacity.
It only takes about a month for the eggs to become reproductively capable.
A mature female locust can lay an average of 50 to 100 eggs.
If the locust population increases rapidly in a short period of time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In the previous life, there was no locust plague.
Is it because humans have avoided the virus that the world has been struck by a new natural disaster?
Jiang Fei felt an unprecedented panic.
If you don’t know what natural disasters will happen, you can’t prepare in advance.
But when he thought of the Gold Swallowing Supermarket, Jiang Fei felt relieved again.
There is no need to worry about food. The most urgent thing is to upgrade the supermarket and get more membership cards.
In case something uncontrollable happens, she can still bring her teammates and Dahuang into the supermarket.
I'll have to go to the warehouse on West Street to collect some when I have time.
I can’t go out today, so Jiang Fei put on his helmet again, found two net bags, and walked into the yard.
Just open the door a crack and catch the locusts that come in.
Although locusts are scary, they are edible.
This thing is high in protein and low in fat, rich in various vitamins and minerals, and can supplement nutrition.
It is estimated that the Security Institute will soon release news about eating locusts.
If you can't kill the locusts, eat them all!
After a while, the two net bags were full.
Jiang Fei closed the gate and used a flamethrower to burn the remaining locusts in the yard to death, providing a snack for the boss and the others.
One bag was placed in the corner of the yard, and the other bag was brought into the kitchen and killed.
Remove the wings and head of each locust, clean the internal organs, soak them in highly concentrated salt water for a while, then take them out and rinse them repeatedly with clean water.
