Now, when you open the social media apps on your communicator, all you see are official notices and news about the insect infestation.
A man was bitten by an insect while protecting his wife and daughter. He was taken to the hospital and received timely treatment and is now fine.
An elderly person living alone was bitten by an insect and met their long-lost nephew at the hospital;
The couple donated rare insecticide free of charge to help people avoid insect infestations and were commended by the base.
...
In short, there are insects, but they don't cause much harm.
The more this was the case, the clearer Xu Lin became that the insect plague was far more complex than the base had reported.
The facility has been distributing insecticide to the public and urging them to use it daily. Furthermore, public officials disinfect public areas daily, leaving a strong smell of insecticide and disinfectant permeating the area.
At 8:30 p.m., before it was even dark, the routine reporting began again in the Jinxiu Family Group.
Zheng Ming: We distributed another 10,000 boxes of disinfectant today, and I heard that we'll distribute 15,000 tomorrow. I'm going to be exhausted at my post.
Dr. Dai: Today I treated 78 patients with insect bites. Five were quite serious, and three died because they were too serious. Others had their arms bitten off or their toes bitten off.
Sun Wei: In the slums and dormitories, people couldn't afford to go to the hospital, and many died from insect bites. Every day, we had to maintain order in the slums and dispose of the bodies, otherwise the insects would eat them and grow even bigger. Starting tomorrow, I will be transferred to the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Zhou Pin: Welcome new colleague. The insect attractant has been put into production and is expected to be officially released in the next day or two. In addition, the insect-shoveling vehicle is also under construction.
Wang Jing: Hurry up and start production! All the vegetables in our plantation have been eaten. We're catching bugs now, every day. I see bugs in everything.
Aunt Ning: Since I was transferred to the farm, a large number of poultry have been killed or injured by insects and have been sent to the processing plant to be canned. If this continues, the farm will go out of business.
Li Jingjing: The base is calling on everyone to form a volunteer group to help spray pesticides, and I have already signed up.
Xu Lin didn't reply to the messages. She had gone out today to check on the extent of the insect infestation. As soon as she opened the gate, she saw a vast expanse of white insects outside, sticky and slimy. Xu Lin returned.
If the villa area is like this, imagine what it's like in other places. Zhou Pin said that the base leaders are already living in the office building, ready to deploy manpower to deal with the insect infestation at any time, and also to prevent upper management from being disrupted by insect bites on their way to and from get off work.
These past few days, Zhou Pin has been staying at the Ministry of Science and Technology to research insect traps and insect shovels. Xu Lin, alone at home, always feels that insects are everywhere, so she asks Shuke and Beta to sleep with her. She has long forgotten about her trip to Jinshi.
Zhou Pin: Linlin, why aren't you saying anything?
Zhou Pin sent a private message to Xu Lin.
Xu Lin: I don't know what to say.
Zhou Pin: I'll come back to keep you company tomorrow morning. The bug trap will be finished tonight.
Xu Lin: Okay, take care and get some rest.
The next morning at five o'clock, Zhou Pin returned looking disheveled. He sprayed insecticide and disinfectant in the yard until he was sure there were no bugs on his body before going inside.
Xu Lin first took him into the space to take a bath, and Zhou Pin gave her two insect traps to put in the yard and the house.
When Zhou Pin came out after taking a shower, there were already dozens or even hundreds of insects in the insect traps in the yard, both big and small.
"This thing is actually quite useful," Xu Lin said, looking at the insect catcher.
"It simulates the brainwaves of insects to send signals to them, causing them to crawl into the insect trap."
