At this time, many large cockroaches inexplicably appeared in other places in Lingcheng, just like in the Lanshan Villa District.
Chen Da was the only one at home on the 20th floor at that time, but fortunately, there was the insecticide that Su Keke had sent him before, so Chen Da was not afraid of these big cockroaches at all this time.
He was seen calmly spraying insecticide everywhere. A few of them jumped past his feet, and Chen Da gave them a big kick without any hesitation.
Chen Li and Meng Yi originally wanted to ask for leave to go home, but where they were patrolling there were many elderly, weak, women and children, so they had to help the residents catch cockroaches first.
A lot of cockroaches suddenly appeared in the poultry farming department where Lu Mei and Shi Huan worked, scaring the chicks they raised and making them run around everywhere.
Under the leadership of the minister, they caught cockroaches everywhere and were so busy that they had no time to ask for leave to go home.
After the natural disaster, the originally silent Lingcheng was frightened by this large wave of cockroaches and was filled with shouts and screams!
This is the first time everyone has seen a cockroach as big as an egg.
For families with women and children, the women were basically scared to the point of screaming and the children crying, while the men were so panicked that they didn't know what to do.
"Shen Luofei, why are you so cowardly as a grown man?"
Qian Siyu, with a big belly, held a frying pan in her hand and slapped the big cockroach that jumped up.
Now she had killed several large cockroaches on the floor of the living room, and Shen Luofei next to him was so scared that he jumped directly onto the sofa.
"I was so blind that I fell for a coward like you!"
Qian Siyu was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead, and he really wanted to hit Shen Luofei with a frying pan first.
"Qian Siyu, you're a fucking bitch. Were you blind in the beginning? Wasn't it because of the way I spent money without blinking an eye when I was pursuing Su Keke that you came up to me and threw yourself at me?"
Shen Luofei was sitting on the sofa, watching the increasing number of cockroaches in the living room. He felt horrified and disgusted. "I am just a prostitute, and you are still looking down on me. If you have the guts, get the fuck out of my house!"
Shen Luofei was a good talker, and he made Qian Siyu's face turn blue and white. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her stomach, as if a big rock was dragging her down.
"Ouch...ah...my stomach hurts so much..."
The frying pan in Qian Siyu's hand fell to the ground with a clang, scaring away several cockroaches that were surrounding it.
Cold sweat broke out on Qian Siyu's forehead and his breathing became rapid.
"Hurry... hurry and take me to the hospital... I... I'm afraid I'm about to give birth..."
Qian Siyu's speech was intermittent because of her stomachache. She had to go to the hospital quickly.
This child of mine has been a disaster since I became pregnant. I have never had a prenatal check-up and my diet is poor. Fortunately, this child has a strong vitality.
"There are cockroaches everywhere now, how...how can I deliver it! And it's so far away, how can you walk there like this!"
Shen Luofei was extremely panicked, he had never encountered such a situation before.
Lingcheng now has only one hospital open, which was taken over by the municipal government and turned into a relief station. Citizens don't need to pay money or provide supplies to see a doctor there.
So the place is basically crowded every day, and the worst thing is that it is far away. How can he get Qian Siyu there by himself?
"Go... go find your parents and ask them to borrow a tricycle from the breeding base to send... send me to the hospital." Qian Siyu said while panting.
The other three members of the Shen family all work at the official breeding base. When the official recruitment was conducted before, they arrived earlier and the requirements for the vegetable department were slightly lower, so they were lucky enough to be hired.
Shen's father, Shen's mother and their youngest son were relatively normal, but their eldest son, Shen Luofei, liked to daydream all day long. When asked to go to apply for the job, he was reluctant to do so. When he wanted to go later, the official recruitment was full.
"Okay! Then you hold on, I'm going to the breeding base to find my parents!" Shen Luofei jumped off the sofa and ran downstairs on tiptoe.
"You...help me to the sofa!" Qian Siyu had such a stomachache that she didn't even have the strength to speak.
The big cockroaches that were scared away by the frying pan just now slowly crawled towards Qian Siyu again.
"Get out! All of you get out!" Qian Siyu lay on the floor of the living room, no longer having the strength to stand up.
"Ah...get away...you filthy creatures...die..."
Qian Siyu grabbed the frying pan on the ground and smashed it at the big cockroach beside her desperately. She didn't know where she got the strength from.
At this moment, she had only one belief in her heart. She had to live, she must live. She had not lived a good life in this life yet, so how could she die?
By the time Shen Luofei called his parents back from the vegetable department, almost half an hour had passed. Qian Siyu was already exhausted by this time, and she didn't know if the water stains under her body were caused by the breaking of her amniotic fluid.
Several big cockroaches were crawling all over her body. Qian Siyu's eyes widened and her throat was so hoarse with fear that she couldn't even scream.
"Oh! My God..." Shen Luofei's mother just ran into the living room and saw Qian Siyu lying on the floor in such a miserable state.
She picked up the towel on the coffee table and quickly drove away the cockroaches on Qian Siyu's body. The three of them hurriedly carried Qian Siyu to the cart they borrowed from downstairs.
…
Some residents who had been eating wild vegetables for several months actually swallowed their saliva when they saw such a big cockroach.
They thought that if these cockroaches could be fried, they would taste delicious!
Thinking in this way, these big cockroaches are no longer scary bugs in their eyes but real delicacies.
You know what, there are quite a lot of people who think this way. In the food festivals in the past, there were fried locusts, fried scorpions, fried cicadas, aren't they all edible? The fried locusts I ate back then seemed pretty delicious.
After studying the components in the bodies of these giant cockroaches, Lingcheng officials promptly announced to the public that they could be fried before use. After catching them, citizens could also take them to official exchange points to exchange for a small amount of supplies.
Generally, people who are short of supplies at home usually fry them themselves and eat them. They were averse to eating them at first, but later they actually found them crunchy like rice balls.
“I didn’t expect this big cockroach to taste so delicious after being fried!”
"I have some flour at home, so I coated it with flour and fried it, and it tasted like fried chicken. If I sprinkled some cumin and chili powder on it, it would be delicious!"
"Are they really that delicious? I still have a few left at home, so I won't take them to the official exchange office. I took a large sack of cockroaches to exchange this afternoon, but I only got two kilograms of rice."
"It's only two kilograms. If my family orders a few more, they can finish them in one meal. A sack of fried cockroaches can be eaten for at least three days. It's more cost-effective to fry them yourself. I'm just afraid they won't taste good!"
In fact, the large cockroaches received by Lingcheng officials are also fried, and then some are given to each household when relief food is distributed on the 1st of each month. Although the taste is average, it can fill the stomach to some extent.
