"A large number of locusts are about to reach the safe place! 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 street was in chaos.
Some people hurriedly slammed the closed doors of the shops, while others ran around like headless flies.
"Boss! I'm too far from home! Please open the door and let me in to hide for a while! I can buy things from your store!"
"Ah! Who hit me?!"
"Open the door quickly! 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 his face turned pale.
A swarm of locusts swept in.
Each locust is larger than the palm of an adult.
A thick gray mass blocked out the bright sunshine, as if the dark clouds gathered during a thunderstorm were now descending.
The rustling sound of the locusts' wings is chilling.
“Run!!!”
After experiencing all kinds of extreme weather, there are very few plants left in the safe area. The locust swarms cannot find food, so they begin to attack humans frantically.
"Oh 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 one could clearly see the insects' thorny legs and moving mouths.
The tingling sensation gave Jiang Fei goosebumps, and he immediately used the wipers to drive away the locusts.
Sometimes you could hear the sound of locusts being shot down, or the crackling sound of insects hitting cars.
It was not easy for him to drive back to 0-02 in Dongyang District, but the outside of the car was full of locusts and he couldn't get out at all.
Jiang Fei climbed onto 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 escaped and followed her into the yard.
Jiang Fei directly burned him to death with the flamethrower.
A faint burnt aroma filled the air.
The chicks and geese in the cage were excited and clucked non-stop.
Locusts are a delicious delicacy for poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese.
Jiang Fei picked up six roasted locusts on the ground and 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, and the air conditioner outdoor unit and all the pipes are protected, so locusts cannot get in.
But Huang 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 first 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, don't be afraid, I'm back." Jiang Fei picked up Da Huang and coaxed him, and 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 not there, and the doors and windows of the house 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 live, no grass will grow. They will eat up all food, including crops.
Even dead branches and leaves will not be 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 strong reproductive capacity.
It only takes about a month for the eggs to become reproductively capable from birth.
A mature female locust can lay more than 50 to 100 eggs.
If the locusts increase 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 escaped the virus that a new natural disaster has befallen the world?
Jiang Fei felt a panic like never before.
If you don’t know what natural disasters will happen, you can’t prepare in advance.
But thinking about the Golden 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 of uncontrollable situation, she can also bring her teammates and Dahuang into the supermarket.
I'll have to go to the warehouse on Xixi Street to collect some when I have time.
He couldn’t go out that day, 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 release news about eating locusts soon.
If you can't kill the locusts, eat them all!
Soon, the two net bags were full.
Jiang Fei closed the door and used fire 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 high-concentration salt water for a while, then take them out and rinse them repeatedly with clean water.
Control the moisture, coat half of the locusts with a batter made of flour and eggs, and fry them in a pan.
Add half of the hot pot base and chili, potato strips, celery, onion, and stir-fry.
When Jiang Fei finished, it was time for his teammates to go off work.
Jiang Fei told the three people through the intercom to come to 02 to try the new dishes, and then he came to the yard with a flamethrower to pick them up.
Su Liuyuan and Xiao Chuxia came here together.
A person with plastic cloth wrapped from head to feet was jumping around like a zombie.
A man wearing protective gear used during the epidemic, wrapping himself tightly.
Lu Yu was the last one to arrive, also wearing protective gear to prevent locusts.
Su Liuyuan looked a little silly in the plastic sheet.
After clearing the locusts in the yard, Su Liuyuan took off the plastic sheet and stepped on the corpse of a locust to vent his anger.
There are a few small red spots on the skin of the right cheek, which have been disinfected.
"This damn bug, why did it bite my face when it could bite anywhere else?"
Xiao Chuxia comforted Su Liuyuan: "At least they don't eat human flesh, otherwise your face would become bumpy."
"Miss, why is there a bag of live locusts in your yard?"
Jiang Fei: "Chickens and geese can eat locusts. I caught them to feed them."
Lu Yu thought of the reason why Jiang Fei asked them to come over, and his eyes looked subtle.
He had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, after entering the room, I saw a plate of golden fried food on the table, a plate of recognizable spicy fried locusts.
Jiang Fei distributed chopsticks to the three people.
"Try our new food."
Three people: "..."
