Chapter 272: Insect Plague, Entering Everywhere in the House
“Shen Que, have you noticed that Qiezi hasn’t been in a good mood these past two days?”
That day, Eggplant and the Eagle came back from outside and went back to their nest one by one. They didn't look as energetic as before.
And every time Eggplant came back, he would always pester the eagle.
Could it be that these two have also experienced the "seven-year itch"?
But in fact, a big part of the reason why the two were so tired was because they were rubbed by the group of soldiers after sending Qiao Moyan to the military area.
Eggplant sighed and said that being rubbed for a whole day was more tiring than going out to kill a few zombies.
Shen Que sighed deeply after knowing Meng Ci’s thoughts.
I have been struggling for survival before, and now I have some free time. I can’t adapt for a while, so it is understandable that I have all kinds of random thoughts.
So he pulled Meng Ci to do something that would keep him busy.
Of course, Meng Ci and Shen Que did not forget to continue fetching soil from outside.
After five days in a row, Meng Ci and his friends finally stopped and continued to play around at home.
The Xishanye base originally had only more than 500,000 residents. Despite experiencing a wave of zombies, the authorities had already made sufficient preparations, and the total number of casualties among people with special abilities and ordinary people was less than 100,000. Therefore, there are still about 400,000 residents in Xishanye.
These residents deeply realized that the security inside the base was much higher than that in the outside world, so they decided to stay and live in the base.
In order to meet the growing demand for housing, the authorities reused the previously planned villa area.
Since no one wanted to buy land to build houses, and in order to provide employment opportunities for residents, they began to build buildings in the villa area.
Those old craftsmen, bricklayers and construction workers who are good at firing bricks have become popular figures in the base.
Buildings that once stood but have now collapsed are frequented by scavengers.
They collect discarded steel bars and intact masonry, materials that are essential for home construction.
At the same time, the authorities actively organized many people with special abilities to go out and collect all kinds of useful items, especially various mechanical equipment.
Half a year has passed, and the land has evolved from being cultivated with hoes to being mechanized, so that sowing does not require humans anymore.
With professional equipment, the daily output of bricks is better than before.
Building houses is no longer limited to the base, but is centered on the base, with various infrastructure outside the base.
The living space is becoming more and more spacious and prosperous.
That day, Meng Ci walked down from the second floor yawning.
"Chen Que, if we can rebuild the house, let's move to another place."
When the house was built, it was built smaller in order not to attract other people's attention. Now that I can rebuild the house, I have to change it.
"Okay." Shen Que agreed.
"grass!"
"Eggplant, what are you holding?"
Before Shen Que could finish his words, Meng Ci, who had already gone down to the first floor, was frightened when he saw what was under Eggplant's claws.
Seeing Meng Ci's big reaction, Shen Que hurriedly walked down and stood in front of Meng Ci.
"What's wrong?"
Looking towards the eggplant, I saw a beetle as big as a cup under its claws.
When Eggplant heard his owner's voice, he stood up from his curled up position, but did not let go of the beetle under his claws.
"Cheese, get it out." Shen Que shouted.
“Ouch, ouch!”
The eggplant doesn't want to, it hasn't had enough fun yet.
Seeing that this guy was stubborn, the eagle nearby walked forward and barked twice, asking Eggplant to get the bugs out.
“Ouch!”
Eggplant felt aggrieved, but didn't say anything.
The daughter-in-law ordered, and it had to do as it was told, then it used its claws to flick the insects away as it walked out.
Seeing the bugs leave, Meng Ci felt relieved.
Meng Ci was not afraid of insects, but he was frightened when he suddenly saw such a big insect.
They got up late in the morning, so they didn't plan to cook.
Meng Ci took two bowls of tofu pudding, two multi-grain pancakes, and two tofu and scallion dumplings from the space.
There is no need to rush to feed Eggplant and the Eagle since they haven't come back yet.
"grass!"
Meng Ci held the spoon in one hand and looked at his bowl, feeling that he was very unlucky today.
There were only about twenty servings of tofu pudding left in the space. After finally taking out two bowls, he didn't expect a thumb-sized bug to fall from the ceiling.
When I looked up, I found twenty or thirty bugs crawling on the ceiling.
Seeing that a bug was about to fall, Meng Ci put all the food on the table into the space without thinking.
Fortunately, there are a lot of insecticides stored in the space that can be used.
Squeak!
Meng Ci took out two sets of protective clothing from the space, and then he and Shen Que each took two bottles of insecticide and sprayed them at the ceiling.
Bang bang bang!
The bugs on the ceiling suddenly fell down.
In order to prevent any fish from slipping through the net in the house, Meng Ci and Shen Que checked everywhere in the house.
It's no big deal to take a look, you'll find countless bugs under the sofa, behind the curtains, and behind various shelves.
"This, this is causing an insect plague?"
Meng Ci took out two bottles of insecticide from the space and sprayed them on every corner.
Shen Que's eyes also went dark, because he had died at this time in his previous life, so naturally he had no idea what was going on.
After finally getting rid of all the bugs in the house, the two planned to go out for some fresh air, and then come back to clean up the corpses after the bugs died.
As soon as I walked out of the yard, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.
The densely packed insects on the ground were crawling up the walls and trees, and on the ground where there were currently no insects, black insects were crawling up from underground.
I saw many insects crawling along the walls and onto the windows. The densely packed scene was really creepy.
Meng Ci and Shen Que did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly returned to the house holding their breath.
They checked all the windows carefully upstairs and downstairs and closed them tightly.
However, in such a short period of time, a lot of insects appeared in the house again.
“Squeak!”
The two picked up the insecticide again and sprayed it at the bugs violently until they were all killed before they dared to go out.
Fortunately, when the house was built, the doors and windows were properly treated, so there is no need to worry about these insects entering the house again.
Then they opened the gate of the yard and were surprised by the scene before them.
The eggplant was rolling happily in the pile of insects, while the eagle stood quietly on a pile of bricks, vigilantly observing its surroundings.
As long as any insect dares to come up, the eagle will crush it to death with one foot.
The dirt road outside was densely covered with insects of various shapes and sizes, from centipedes to cockroaches, grasshoppers, and some other strange insects that had never been seen before. They crawled out from the ground and then scattered in all directions.
Seeing that some bugs were about to enter the yard, Shen Que quickly released his fire ability to block them outside.
