The insect swarm completely broke out; at the beginning, there weren't many insects.
The few insects scattered on the ground gave everyone some respite and did not cause too much panic.
Then, over the next few days, the number of these insects increased.
Initially, these insects were small and few in number, but over time, they have grown larger and more numerous, appearing to be more aggressive.
Currently in the Northern City, there have been incidents of insects injuring people, and the number is continuing to rise.
Finally, on the seventh day, the number of insects became even larger, and the sky was filled with them, as if a dark cloud was flying in from the sky.
Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan stood by the window, gazing at the distant horizon. They saw a dark, heavy cloud rising from the distance, obscuring the sky and blocking out the sunlight.
Xiao Shan nervously grabbed Lu Yuan's arm: "Honey, what is that? It's not a bug, is it?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "It should be insects, but there are just too many of them. If they were to pounce on us, they could eat up everyone in the entire city in an instant."
Lu Yuan's description startled Xiao Shan. She turned to look at Lu Yuan, her expression grave: "Is it really that scary?"
"You came with me to the Blue Star base last time, so you should know. By the way, let me remind everyone to check on the supplies in each room. Is anything missing? Report this in advance so I can start preparing."
Xiao Shan nodded immediately, then picked up her phone and began asking about the food reserves and consumption in all the rooms.
The cell phone signal they are currently using is from a small repeater station that Lu Yuan specifically had Qiao Ke build.
The relay stations were placed on each floor of their building, which made it easy for them to set up a small local area network here without having to amplify the signal throughout the entire area.
The biggest advantage of a small local area network is that it allows them to communicate freely without being limited by the room.
After all, they don't have rooms big enough to accommodate so many people, and they also need some privacy. Although everyone lives together, there's no need for them to live together every day.
So, with the relay station, people can share their problems and joys through mobile phone chat.
Lu Yuan could even hold meetings via the local area network. A couple of days ago, when the bugs weren't very big, Lu Yuan had his family conduct several mock video conferences.
The meeting was very successful, with virtually no obstacles. Apart from some people not quite getting used to it, everything else went well.
Then, the phone kept ringing.
Xiao Shan picked up her phone and glanced at it, finding that everyone was basically not lacking anything, except for a few children in a few rooms who wanted snacks.
Just as Xiaoshan was about to reply to each message, she suddenly received another message.
Korean: Um... my second baby's formula seems to be expiring soon, do you have any formula left? If not, then never mind.
Mom Lu: Xiaowen, you're out of formula where you are. Let me ask around. Don't worry, expired formula shouldn't be given to your child.
Korean: Thank you, Auntie. I'm fine here. There are still a few days left on the shelf life, so there shouldn't be any problems. I'm just preparing in advance because I'm worried that these bugs might surround us for too long.
Then other voices came from below, all trying to help Han Wen.
Xiao Shan walked up to Lu Yuan with her phone in hand: "Sister Han Wen, we're running out of formula. What should we do?"
Lu Yuan was taken aback and glanced down at the contents of his phone. He pondered for a moment and said, "I thought I wouldn't need this formula anymore, so I gave it away. I didn't expect another child to come this time. Oh dear, this is a bit troublesome. But I do remember the formula for milk powder. I'll ask her if milk powder would work."
Xiao Shan quickly picked up her phone and dialed Han Wen's number.
A while later, the call connected. Xiaoshan told Hanwen her thoughts.
The other person was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Oh, thank you so much! I'm really sorry to have troubled you again!"
Xiao Shan smiled slightly and said, "Alright, Sister Han Wen, why are you being so polite with us? How about milk powder? If so, I'll ask Lu Yuan to help you figure something out!"
"It would be even better if we could have some. My milk supply isn't very high right now, so it seems I'll need some supplemental formula. I'm worried the baby is too hungry, but it's not a big problem. If it doesn't work, I'll have my dad make some rice porridge to tide him over. That should be enough!"
Upon hearing Han Wen's words, Xiao Shan immediately became displeased: "Sister Han Wen, you don't need to worry about this. I'll have Lu Yuan help you find a solution!"
After saying that, Xiao Shan hung up the phone and looked up at Lu Yuan: "You heard what Sister Han Wen said just now. Why don't you think of another way? Isn't making milk powder a lot of trouble?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "It's not that troublesome. I've put all the milk powder making machines in the warehouse. Let's go to the warehouse and take a look. I'll get some milk from the dimensional space and we can process it!"
Xiao Shan was immediately excited after hearing this, so the two of them went out through the back door of the house and followed the passage to the warehouse.
The warehouse cannot be opened frequently because it needs to be properly sealed. The motors here are all powered by batteries. Once the power is cut off, the door needs to be opened manually, which is very troublesome.
In addition, each time the warehouse is opened, it brings in a lot of moisture and air. In order to keep the contents fresh, there are only a few roads that run from the house to the warehouse. Not every house has a road that runs this far.
Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan headed straight for the shelf to search.
They quickly found equipment for making milk powder. The equipment wasn't very big; it was a small, home-use milk powder making machine.
Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan brought over two sets of equipment. Xiao Shan found some rags and other cleaning agents and started cleaning the milk powder making equipment, while Lu Yuan returned to the dimensional space.
The number of various poultry and livestock currently being raised in the dimensional space is not very large. Most of the poultry and livestock are concentrated in the fortress outside, so the space here is relatively ample. Two dairy cows are grazing on the grass.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the cow.
"Great! We've got our baby formula sorted out!"
