There were constant rustling sounds coming from the toilet, and occasionally something hit the door, making a clanging sound.
Even though she was aware that the bathroom door was closed, Susan couldn't relax.
She will never forget that when she blocked the window gap with curtain cloth and thought everything could return to normal, she heard a clattering sound coming from the toilet behind her.
The scene of disgusting bugs falling from the vent immediately popped into my mind.
She rushed to the bathroom, and sure enough, the beige floor tiles were covered with half-grown bugs!
Her scalp went numb, but luckily she didn't completely lose her mind. She slammed the door and then gasped for breath.
If she had reacted a little slower, all those black beetles would have pounced on her!
The feeling of fear kept lingering in her mind, and the noises outside the window and in the toilet never stopped. Susan didn't dare to fall asleep the whole night, relying solely on fear to keep herself going.
But how long can it last...
She was very sleepy, hungry, and thirsty.
She had already eaten up the only box of yogurt and a banana left in the room, and now her stomach was growling with hunger.
The thought of wanting to leave began to emerge little by little.
Susan thought painfully, what if... I just held on a little longer? Maybe if I waited a little longer, the rescue team from outside the island would arrive.
Before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep.
Until a loud thunder woke her up!
She sat up in bed in a daze and heard the creepy rustling sound again.
Ahhhh, damn it! Susan roared in her heart. She had finally waited for the black bugs to stop making noise, but now there was thunder again!
The insects seemed to become particularly excited when they heard the thunder.
Even through the bathroom door, Susan could hear the gnashing of teeth.
Wait? Are those bugs even starting to eat the wooden door?!
Susan's pupils suddenly dilated, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
No, she must leave here!
She doesn't want to be the second Lucy!
On the beach, several pairs of eyes blinked in the mobile shop.
"Bruce, go out and see if all the bugs have gone away." A female voice trembled.
The man named Bruce frowned, obviously not happy to be pushed out for inspection.
But he had no choice but to face the fact that several pairs of eyes were staring at him from behind, as if to say, "If you don't leave, we will kick you out of the store."
There was no other way, so he took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the back kitchen door.
The imagined black bugs crawling all over the ground did not appear. In the small dining area, there were only a few dried corpses that had been eaten clean.
The entire dining area was eerily silent.
"How's it going, Bruce? Is it safe out there?" someone asked him.
Bruce shook his head: "I haven't seen any black bugs yet."
Phew—that’s great.
The female colleagues were rejoicing in the kitchen.
"Since there's no danger, Bruce, why don't you go to the next store and get something to eat?" Someone suggested.
Bruce's eyes darkened, and he turned his head and said rudely: "Why should I go?!"
He is not the personal nanny of these female colleagues!
The female colleague who made the suggestion stared at her, not understanding: "You're the only man here. If you don't leave, do you expect us to go?"
Bruce sneered, "Why not? Should men serve you women? Who made that rule? Anyway, I will definitely not set foot out of this store today. You can do whatever you want!"
After saying that, he slammed the door, returned to his corner, grabbed the raw cucumbers from the basket, and ate them by himself.
Seeing him eating raw cucumbers without any scruples, the other five female colleagues were very envious.
But it's because they have bad stomachs and can't always eat this kind of cold raw food, otherwise they will get diarrhea. There is really no way to solve this critical situation.
Like last night, there were seven girls hiding in there.
However, two of them felt uncomfortable in their stomachs after eating raw tomatoes and chilled watermelon, so they had to leave the kitchen and go to the bathroom in the fixed store next door.
Who knew that he would never come back.
Everyone knew the truth and kept silent about it.
Therefore, in order to avoid diarrhea, no one dared to eat raw cucumbers as recklessly as Bruce did.
But the five of them were hungry and thirsty, and they couldn't stay trapped like this forever.
Naturally, the only male Bruce was "elected" by them.
Bruce ignored the thoughts of his female colleagues. He continued to chew on the raw cucumber, feeling cold in his heart.
What a selfish bunch of people! They leave safety to themselves, but he has to bear the danger alone. He is not stupid, how could he take the risk of doing this!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the kitchen was solemn.
I don't know how long it was, but suddenly, Bruce pricked up his ears.
He seemed to hear the sound of rolling waves?
There was no small window in the kitchen, so he couldn't see what was going on outside. He had to open the door himself and try to pry a crack to take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he pressed the handle, a huge force pushed him back hard!
Bang!
His back slammed into the kitchen counter, and the metal bowls on the counter clattered to the ground.
"Oh my god, what a nice wind!" a female colleague exclaimed and retreated to the kitchen.
"What's going on? Is it going to rain heavily?" others asked in horror.
However, it's just asking.
No one cared about Bruce's injury.
Bruce sneered in his heart. He had finally seen through it. After working with this group of people for more than two years, although they usually laughed and joked with him in the company and shared snacks with him from time to time, they always pushed him out when it came to the critical moment.
For example, when it comes to changing bottled water, he is always the one who does it; when going downstairs to get takeout, he is always the one who is asked to do it; and when someone wants to have a cake for their birthday, he is always urged to pay for it.
In fact, he didn't mind these things at first. He always felt that he was one of the few male colleagues in the department and he should take care of everyone.
Unexpectedly, these women became more and more shameless, completely treating him as free labor and free wallet.
In that case, haha, Bruce thought in his heart, you guys just wait to die in the kitchen!
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he gritted his teeth and rushed out against the strong wind outside!
"Bruce! What are you doing!?"
"You can't abandon us!!!"
"Damn it, he ran away alone!"
"You heartless bastard! Men are really not good!"
"Wow, what should we do? Someone please close the kitchen door. The wind is too strong."
"Anyway, I'm not going. Whoever proposes it should go and close the door."
The cumulus clouds on the seashore were getting thicker and thicker, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. Bruce knew that if he didn't escape from the mobile shop, he would definitely die at the hands of the bad weather.
As for those women, he thought coldly, let them live or die!
He took a step forward, ready to find a safer place.
But as soon as Keren walked onto the street, he felt a tingling sensation on the back of his head!
Bugs...so many bugs...!
Corpses... Corpses are everywhere on the streets...!
He stood there in shock, his thoughts suddenly starting to waver.
What to do? Is he really going to cross this street?
But how could he avoid the dense swarm of black insects before him? He had no tools at all!
Or should I go back to the shop on the beach and hide there until the rescue team arrives?
No, I can't go back!
He immediately denied himself. The wind was so strong at the beach that all the shops, mobile or not, would be reduced to ruins! The entire beach would be in danger!
On one side, you have to face the natural disaster, and on the other side, you have to avoid the black bugs.
Bruce felt that he would rather choose the latter!
At least there is still a chance to fight!
In the blink of an eye, he rushed out onto the street, his steps as fast as a dragonfly skimming the water.
I was feeling proud, when suddenly, I saw something out of the corner of my eye.
He turned his head and saw that the black bug, which was originally moving slowly, suddenly flew towards him like a surging black tide!
No...! His pupils dilated and his breathing stopped for a moment!
The thunderstorm just came.
There were strong winds, lightning, thunder, and then heavy rain.
A damp atmosphere gradually emerged in the intensive care unit, but no one mentioned it.
After all, in the face of life and death, what does this matter?
From time to time, there was a rustling sound outside the door, and everyone knew that it was the black bugs crawling up after being stimulated by the thunder.
They seemed to smell the scent of a living person in the room and gnawed at the door panel desperately.
Unfortunately, the door of the intensive care unit is made of metal, and these black bugs can’t bite through it for the time being.
No one paid any attention to them anymore. Gradually, sleepiness came over them, and Jiaojiao, Dr. Chen and Xue Dinghui fell asleep one after another.
Song Yue didn't sleep.
She only took a nap to catch up on some sleep, and then made sure that all three people were fast asleep. Then she tiptoed to the door and pushed open the bed blocking it.
Then quickly pull the door and close it.
There were indeed many more black bugs in the corridor on the third floor. They were much more excited than before the thunderstorm. As soon as they saw Song Yue, a living person, they all flew up to bite him.
Song Yue deliberately stood still and observed for a while.
The medical protective suits that originally served as protection during the day were now nothing in the eyes of the excited black insects. They lay on the white protective suits and bit them frantically.
Soon, a small hole appeared on the arm.
Seeing this, Song Yue took out the insecticide and sprayed it on himself.
The black bugs immediately flapped their wings and flew away in unison, not daring to come any closer.
It seems that thunderstorm weather can add a buff to the black bugs, Song Yue thought helplessly. Except for metal, they can eat everything else.
The 12-minute countdown begins.
Song Yue collected her thoughts and quickly went downstairs.
She rushed into the first floor hall and locked all the windows in the four directions of east, south, west and north.
When she came back from the fire station yesterday, she only locked the door and didn't have time to lock the windows.
The original plan was to clean from upstairs all the way down and then lock it, but a thunderstorm suddenly hit, allowing black bugs to crawl in through the gaps in the first-floor windows.
Fortunately, they locked the doors and windows of all the rooms from the second to the sixth floor, so the black bugs could not get in and could only run around in the corridors and halls.
After locking all the entrances, there were only 10 minutes left for the insecticide to be effective. Thinking that it could not be wasted, she simply took out the flamethrower from the space and aimed it at the swarms of black bugs on the first floor.
As the handle was pressed, the hall was engulfed in flames.
Just before the countdown ended, Song Yue finished cleaning the first floor.
The thunderstorm was still going on, so she didn't want to fight and quickly returned.
On the way, he took some fast food from the space, took a few bites, then quietly returned to the intensive care unit and fell asleep contentedly.
Have a good night's sleep.
On the third day of the copy, the four people woke up one after another.
"Look everyone, the dark clouds have dispersed! The rain has stopped!" Jiaojiao said excitedly when she found that the weather outside the window was beginning to improve.
Both Dr. Chen and Xue Dinghui showed a hint of relief on their faces.
Good thing the bad weather has finally passed! Now they can get back to cleaning the building.
But before that, they have to solve the problem of food and clothing.
All three of them's stomachs growled and they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Song Yue spoke at the right time: "When I went downstairs last night, I found a lot of bread and potato chips on the nurse's desk. You can have them for breakfast."
Three people: Last night???
Doctor Chen's expression darkened: "You went out last night?!"
Song Yue nodded.
Jiaojiao: "The first floor is so dangerous! How could you go out by yourself? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Xue Dinghui also replied rather unnaturally: "Can't you take it easy? You have to show off everywhere."
Song Yue glanced at everyone and explained calmly, "Thunder will cause black bugs to continue to drill into the building. If I don't go to the first floor and block all the entrances, we will always be doing useless work."
The three people were stunned and speechless.
"But..." Jiaojiao was still very scared, "You should have called us to come with you. It's better to have a companion than to be alone. What if something happens to you..."
Song Yue patted her back as a comforting gesture, then changed the subject: "Okay, now that the weather has cleared up, those black bugs shouldn't be as excited as they were last night. Today, everyone will be responsible for cleaning up the black bugs on each floor, and then transporting them along with the corpses to the first floor for collective incineration."
After the words were spoken, the room was silent for a while.
Then, Dr. Chen looked at her seriously and said, "In other words, the shelter will be officially established as early as tonight?"
Song Yue: "That's right."
Her words were like a reassurance, allowing the three people's anxious hearts to finally find a place to settle.
