Until this year, when the weather warmed up, those mosquitoes started to stir again.
It first infected a small group of people, and then slowly began to spread outwards.
However, in this life, everyone generally has good physical fitness, and some well-informed people even learned from the citizens of Qinghua Kingdom to get rained on by the energy rain, so the spread was not fast at first.
Even though it's not fast, it's slowly spreading outwards.
Moreover, because of the help of Qinghua Kingdom in this life, no country's order collapsed, and there was still interaction between countries, so the virus spread to the whole world.
It wasn't until members of the Qinghe Alliance Guard were infected while delivering the special medicine that Qinghua Kingdom had imported cases of the HZ virus.
Another point is that, because they were exposed to the energy rain, the people of Qinghua Kingdom were able to withstand the infection for a long enough time, allowing the research institute to discover the virus in time.
Well, that's the gist of it; the butterfly's wings are a bit too big.
It's hard to say whether the effects on the reborn are good or bad.
After all, in the previous life without reborn individuals, many people died of thirst, but the HZ virus did not break out globally.
With the rebirth of this generation, there are hardly any people dying of thirst worldwide.
However, due to the spread of the HZ virus, everyone lived in fear and despair, and quite a few people died from the infection.
Sigh, perhaps it's all preordained, and everything needs a balance.
Therefore, the number of deaths was roughly the same in both lifetimes.
As for the appearance of Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, perhaps it's to let them use their superpowers to end this virus, since if it continues to spread, humanity may perish.
Okay, now that we've talked about the HZ virus, let's talk about the locust plague.
There were actually locust plagues in my previous life, caused by drought, which was unavoidable.
However, in my previous life, many countries were in chaos due to drought, so much so that even after the dry season ended, they were still embroiled in internal strife, and hardly anyone had the mind to farm.
Moreover, even if they cultivate the land, they cannot guarantee their harvest without the protection of a nation or alliance.
Therefore, after the locust plague broke out in the previous life, the locust swarms had little food to eat no matter which country they went to.
Because the lack of food directly limited the growth of the locust plague, only a few provinces in the south of Qinghua Kingdom were affected.
In this life, because all countries are functioning normally, and because the cultivated area has been increased at the suggestion of Qinghua Kingdom, the locusts have no shortage of food, which directly accelerates their reproduction rate.
Therefore, they multiplied and eventually formed a large force, heading towards Qinghua Kingdom.
That's why Zhang Chenjun didn't predict this year's locust plague, while Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan deduced it based on the number of locusts in their own fields and some agricultural knowledge.
Moreover, the two were not sure, which is why they could only subtly hint at it when Qiu Man visited their own fields.
Although Qinghua Kingdom ultimately didn't save so much grain thanks to their reminders, they were happy as long as the people's "lifeline" was preserved, no matter the reason.
----------
After dark, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan stopped paying attention to the locusts, since looking at them wouldn't change anything.
They slept soundly, and when they woke up the next day and watched the news, they learned that despite their best efforts, the central cities still lost some of their food.
However, compared to the gains, the losses were not significant, so the entire Qinghua Kingdom was very happy.
Online celebrations have even begun, with people celebrating their victory in the war against the locusts.
Most people thought that the end was over once the grain was recovered, but Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan knew that this was just the beginning.
What makes locusts terrifying is their powerful reproductive capacity.
Higher organisms win by intelligence, while lower organisms win by sheer numbers. For locusts, reproduction is like replication.
Although the locusts didn't eat much food this time, they certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to lay their eggs in the soil.
Moreover, most locusts only need about 30 days from hatching to mating and reproduction as adults, and a mature female locust can lay an average of 200 to 1,000 eggs in her lifetime.
Moreover, locusts reproduce at least twice a year, and the high temperatures in summer can shorten the hatching time.
In short, it boils down to this: no matter how terrible the natural enemies are, they can't stop me from giving birth!
Therefore, unless the problem of locust eggs is solved, they will forever live in the shadow of locust plagues.
However, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan believed that it wouldn't be long before the Qinghe Alliance would popularize Silverheart Hundred-Leaf Grass, at which point this problem would be easily solved.
After the two finished breakfast, they went to the balcony and looked down. Oh dear, all the beautiful flowers and plants were gone, leaving only broken branches and withered leaves.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan ignored them and entered the space with a sigh.
Time flew by and it was early September. All the HZ virus patients in Qinghua Kingdom had recovered.
Unsurprisingly, they were all disfigured to varying degrees.
The locust swarms had long since flown away from the borders of Qinghua Kingdom, devouring vegetation in other countries before laying their eggs.
Nobody knows what to do about them; all they can do is bring the grain back in advance.
It is only because of the development of technology that they have such an opportunity. If it were in ancient times, they would have been left to sit on the ground and weep.
While most countries managed to preserve their food supplies, these insects were truly a nuisance.
Research institutes in various countries have joined the research on new insecticides.
They thought that since the drugs for Unknown No. 1 and HZ virus were both developed by Qinghua Country, this time they would finally have a chance to shine.
Unfortunately, Qinghe Alliance Research Institute has once again taken the lead.
Dean Xu actually created Insecticide 2.0 using extracts from Silver Heart Centipede, which can powerfully kill those small insects that have been modified by the energy rain.
However, the same dilemma remains: insufficient raw materials!
Dean Xu only prepared 10 liters of insecticide, but used up all the newly grown silver heart centipede leaves in the entire Imperial Capital.
That's right, Dean Tian scattered the seeds all over the capital, but after the seeds sprouted, Dean Xu sent people to cut them all down.
Although the roots are still there, it's not easy for these leaves to grow.
Fortunately, it yielded results, and those leaves were not wasted.
Knowing the severity of the global situation, Dean Xu and his assistant took the 10L of pesticide directly to the alliance office.
After listening to Dean Xu's report, General Li was overjoyed and immediately arranged for the guards to conduct experiments with the insecticide.
The experimental results were quite amazing. Just one spray in front of the alliance office building and a whole bunch of mosquitoes fell to the ground.
The experts who watched the experiment were all shocked, and one of them even filmed the experiment and uploaded it online.
Of course, this was done with the permission of General Lee; they all needed to give the people a boost of morale.
The results proved to be good, and everyone regained their hope for life.
As long as this insecticide is mass-produced, is there any fear that we won't be able to return to our previous lives?
