Chapter 190 Jinjiang Exclusive
After leaving the clinic, Lu Xuan originally planned to go home to help clean up the insect corpses he had blown up and the damaged snow shed at home.
But halfway through the journey, he received a call for help from Huo Tiankuo. He could only say hello to Lu Qing and Le Yan and drive the sled to the Huo family army camp.
When they arrived at their destination, the audience in the live broadcast room were shocked.
Because the situation in the camp is even worse than that in Yunlu Village.
The campsite of more than 3,000 people already occupied a much larger area than the village. At this time, all the tents were covered by dense swarms of insects, and the mushroom lamps originally used for lighting were eaten up.
The camp was dimly lit. The bodyguards drove away and eliminated the insects while using strong flashlights to illuminate the victims as much as possible, shouting at them to take shelter in the greenhouse.
However, there was a considerable distance between the greenhouse and the camp, and the victims were blocked by swarms of insects in the middle. They dared not run around at all, and in the end they could only run around screaming in fear while being bitten.
Some people had all kinds of insects crawling all over their bodies, and their faces were bitten to pieces, looking like they were about to be eaten alive by the insects at any time.
The chaotic and terrifying scene gave Lu Xuan the illusion of dreaming back to the apocalypse when his small base was breached by a wave of zombies.
After a moment of distraction, Lu Xuan quickly took action.
A gust of strong wind swept into the camp, and the swarms of insects that kept gnawing at the tents and people were all swept up into the sky, forming a black fog that grew larger and larger in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan snapped his fingers, and the swarm of insects in the air was instantly ignited by fire. In the blink of an eye, they were burned to ashes, and then continued to be blown away by the wind.
The victims were blown to and fro, but because the weight of more than 100 kilograms was there, they were not blown away. Instead, they saw the insects being burned to death, and a look of relief appeared on their painful faces.
With Lu Xuan's help, the swarm of insects that had tortured more than 3,000 people to death was quickly eliminated with the naked eye.
Lu Xuan also grabbed a few of his personal soldiers and handed them some insect repellent. "Sprinkle it around the camp to keep the insects away."
The guards immediately felt like they had found a treasure and quickly scattered around the camp, preparing to mark out a safe zone for the camp.
While spraying the pesticide, he also shouted at the victims to hide in the area where the pesticide was sprayed.
As the insect swarm decreased, the "safe zone" became larger and larger, and the crisis in the camp was truly resolved.
The shrill screams gradually subsided, and all that remained was the wailing and crying of the bitten people.
Huo Tiankuo hurried over to meet up with Lu Xuan. Without even talking, he dragged him directly to the wounded camp.
When Lu Xuan got inside, he found that the victims who had been running and screaming outside were now in a better situation.
The victims and bodyguards who were seriously bitten had already been sent to the wounded camp.
Huo Tiankuo had traded a lot of medicines with Lu Xuan before, but most of them were medicines for external injuries and medicines suitable for extreme cold seasons. The antidote was an extra gift from Lu Xuan because he saw that he had bought a lot of medicines.
There are many poisonous spiders, snakes and scorpions in the swarm this time.
People who are bitten may suffer from redness, swelling, pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever at the mildest, or paralysis, difficulty breathing, or even death at the worst.
Because there were too many poisoned people and not enough antidotes, Huo Tiankuo could only give the victims painkillers to relieve their pain.
But this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
After understanding the current situation, Lu Xuan didn't say any nonsense. He directly took out more than a dozen boxes of universal antidotes and asked his personal soldiers to feed everyone one dose to save their lives.
Afterwards, according to the needs of different people, blood-replenishing, swelling-reducing and fever-reducing products are also provided.
Fortunately, the swarm of insects that attacked the Huo family army did not include the hornets that almost killed Chen Rong, so the medical cabin that Lu Xuan brought with him just in case did not have a chance to be used.
Well, it’s good without it.
With sufficient supply of medicines, the miserable wails in the wounded camp finally subsided, and Huo Tiankuo finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.
He wiped his face, feeling relieved and ashamed, and said, "If you hadn't come over, I might have just watched them die."
Despite this, his expression still didn't look very good.
The camp encountered too many insect swarms. Before Lu Xuan arrived, more than 20 victims died before they could be rescued because they were bitten too many times.
People had died in the camp a few months earlier, many in fact, and everyone had gotten used to it.
But after meeting Yunlu Village, everyone's life became better and better. Suddenly, someone died again, and it was not killed by a wild beast but by a group of insects. Huo Tiankuo felt very upset.
After learning from Lu Xuan that Yunlu Village was also attacked by a swarm of insects but no one died, Huo Tiankuo was happy for Yunlu Village, but also a little envious.
For a moment, he even had the urge to hand over the camp to Lu Xuan, or just join Yunlu Village directly.
But on second thought, Lu Xuan and Yunlu Village are doing well now, so why should they take on so many disaster victims? This is not their responsibility.
He quickly dismissed this unrealistic and seemingly self-serving idea and brought up another matter.
"I want to build another ten acres of greenhouses."
Lu Xuan was a little surprised, but he quickly guessed the other party's plan.
Some smart viewers in the live broadcast room also guessed it.
As expected, Huo Tiankuo said, "It's been colder lately. I arranged for some of the elderly, weak, women, and children to live in a corner of the greenhouse. When the insect swarm attacked today, they stayed inside and didn't come out, so they weren't hurt."
The other disaster victims are not blind either. They definitely want to live in safer greenhouses.
He didn't want what happened today to happen again.
In the past, because the cost of greenhouses was too high, everyone could make do with living in tents, but the arrival of the insect swarms frightened the victims and Huo Tiankuo.
No matter how expensive a greenhouse is, no matter how important supplies are, nothing is more important than life.
The greenhouses used to grow crops cannot accommodate more than 3,000 people, so we should build a new batch of greenhouses specifically for people to live in!
Huo Tiankuo was worried that there would be more swarms of insects coming later, so he said he wanted to build the greenhouse today.
Since there was business to be done, Lu Xuan naturally would not refuse, and he took out ten acres of greenhouse materials and air conditioners on the spot.
As soon as he got the things, Huo Tiankuo notified the victims immediately.
Everyone was still immersed in fear and terror.
The few helpers who returned from Yunlu Village regretted coming back, thinking that Yunlu Village had sturdy safe houses that would definitely be able to withstand the swarm of insects.
When the victims learned that the general was going to build a number of greenhouses specifically for them, they immediately became excited and rushed to work without being urged.
There is no safe house, but a greenhouse would be nice.
They no longer dared to sleep in tents that could be easily bitten by insects.
The cost of materials for the ten-acre greenhouse was a total of six thousand kilograms of mutant grain. In addition, Huo Tiankuo also bought a lot of antidotes and blood tonics to make up the total of ten thousand kilograms.
However, the winter hunt has failed and the next batch of grain has not been collected, so this debt can only be paid for now.
·
On the third day after the insect swarm attack, Chen Rong and Ji Xiuling got married.
Chen Rong never dreamed that after almost dying, he would open his eyes and find out that Ji Xiuling was willing to marry him immediately.
It wasn't until he got married to Ji Xiuling and invited the villagers to a wedding banquet that he was deliberately forced to drink by other people who were interested in Ji Xiuling that Chen Rong felt completely overwhelmed.
Even though he knew that others were deliberately making trouble for him, he didn't care. He kept saying with a smug look on his face, "I have a wife," "Xiuling will be my wife in the future," and "How can I be so lucky?", making Ji Xiuling's admirers so jealous that they wanted to put him in a sack.
Wu Yang didn't join in the fun and force Chen Rong to drink. He just turned around and discussed with Li Yue, "We will get married after the polar night is over."
Instead of envying Chen Rong, it is better to make yourself the object of envy of others.
Li Yue is also a flower in the hearts of many of his peers in the village. He can be more proud than Chen Rong if he can marry her.
Just when the village was in a festive mood due to the Chen family's wedding, good news came from the Huo family army, as the insect swarm was somewhat sluggish.
After Huo Tiankuo gave the two evolutionary liquids he brought back to his two personal soldiers, one of them successfully awakened his water-based ability.
Huo Tiankuo is a thunder-type ability, which is just right for cooperation with water-type ability users. In a time when powerful combat power is urgently needed, this water-type ability can be said to come just in time.
Seeing that they could really obtain immortal arts, the other personal soldiers became more enthusiastic than ever about acquiring more resources in exchange for evolution fluids.
The frequency of subsequent beast attacks did not disappoint them.
·
After the swarm of insects, the attacks of frenzied beasts reached a peak, with at least two attacks coming almost every day, and sometimes even three or four groups.
The variety of wild animals that appeared became more and more diverse.
For example, blind bears should hibernate like snakes.
In the weather of minus fifty degrees Celsius, they did not hibernate obediently and actually came out, and there were more than ten of them coming out in groups.
As one of the top predators on land, the blind bear is well known for its strength, and its slapping, biting and charging abilities are all top-notch.
Under the influence of lack of sleep and frenzy, this strength is further enhanced, and the difficulty of fighting increases sharply.
The key point is that the blind bears not only have strong attack power, but also have thick skin and strong flesh and outstanding defense. The first-level abilities of Zhang Chengming and others can only tickle them. In the end, they still have to rely on energy guns to kill them.
There are also clouded leopards and a group of gorillas that have come from who knows how far away.
The former is extremely fast, and the hunting team's attacks are always one step behind the other, so they have to be extremely vigilant to prevent being ambushed;
The latter moves in a similar way to humans, has equally strong attack power, and can intimidate people by roaring, making it difficult to deal with.
Moreover, leopards and gorillas... can't be eaten. Regardless of whether they are edible or not, or whether they taste good or not, it's a bit unacceptable psychologically.
It's difficult to play, and there's no reward, so people lose their passion for playing.
But if you ask what everyone hates the most, it would be flocks of birds.
In the greenhouse.
"Hurry, there are more over there! Don't let them get close to the crops!"
Zhang Chengming and others were so angry and annoyed that they shot at the eagles flying around in the greenhouse. They almost spit fire from their eyes when they saw sparrows flying in through the hole in the greenhouse roof.
These damn eagles, if they hadn't crashed into the greenhouse, how would the birds behind have had the chance to get in!
Li Tuo watched the newly arrived sparrows chattering at the half-grown corn. He couldn't use his supernatural powers for fear of burning the crops in the greenhouse, so he angrily cursed, "Once I kill them, I'm going to roast them all!"
These birds not only destroy crops, but eagles, falcons and the like are also carnivorous birds of prey, and their main target is the hunting team.
The human head is not as hard as glass. If it is pecked by a large eagle or falcon, even the unlucky ones will have their brains pecked out.
In order to prevent their heads from bursting, everyone wore helmets to protect their heads while attacking.
After Xiong Mao shot down a mountain eagle, he shouted to the others, "When will Lu Xuan come over?"
While Liu Chun dodged the raptors that kept attacking him from above and strengthened the others' health, he said, "That blind bear over there is not easy to deal with. Even Lu Xuan will probably need some time. Let's hold on a little longer."
Zhang Chengming threw out his wind blades several times, but they were all avoided by the extremely fast flock of birds. He couldn't help but say, "Why don't we use the hypnotic bullet now?"
Wu Yang shook his head. "No, there are still many birds outside the greenhouse. If we release hypnotic bombs here, the ones outside will run away and continue to attack other greenhouses, which will be even more troublesome."
The reason why most of them gathered here was not only because the flock of birds initially attacked the greenhouse here, but also to actively attract other flocks of birds to attack this place and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
While they were talking, the flock of birds that had been arrogantly wreaking havoc just a moment ago suddenly let out shrill, sharp cries and began to crash rapidly.
Everyone's eyes lit up: "Lu Xuan is here!"
"Put on your gas mask."
Hearing Lu Xuan's voice, everyone quickly put on the masks they had prepared long ago.
Almost at the same time, white hypnotic gas quickly filled the greenhouse, and the flocks of birds that were still struggling soon became silent.
The gas drifted out through the hole made by the eagle, hypnotizing the bird that landed on the roof of the greenhouse.
Lu Xuan used his wind ability to blow, and the birds outside fell out of the cave one after another.
There were some flocks of birds flying farther away. Lu Xuan took out a few pieces of fresh wild boar meat with blood and threw them on the roof of the greenhouse. The birds smelled the scent and immediately ran into the trap.
Since sparrows don’t eat meat, we can use mutated food and mutated fruit instead.
After going back and forth more than ten times, we finally managed to get rid of the large flock of birds.
During this period, Zhang Chengming, Li Jing and others were responsible for collecting the increasing number of birds into the space.
Not only does it prevent the crops in the greenhouse from being crushed, but it also saves them the effort of slaughtering them one by one manually.
Only after Lu Xuan used his wind power to blow away the remaining gas did everyone take off their masks.
Li Tuo said happily: "Finally solved!"
Xiong Mao was sweating profusely from exhaustion. He then took off his helmet and said angrily, "These broken birds are harder to kill than big insects and blind bears."
Zhang Chengming sighed, "Not only is it very laborious, but there's also very little meat."
The number of birds in this flock is estimated to be tens of thousands, with sparrows making up the majority.
How big is a sparrow? Not even one or two ounces. Even after shaving the feathers, the remaining meat is not enough to eat in one bite.
To make a pot of soup, you need at least 180 fish to barely be enough.
Tens of thousands of birds together earned 1,800 kilograms of meat, which was shared by more than 50 households and was not enough to fill their stomachs.
It would be better to just have a group of wolves or wild boars. Although the meat is not very delicious, at least there are more of them!
The audience in the live broadcast room were not very satisfied with the bird's harvest.
[Who can eat this little bit of meat?]
[Never mind, I remember roasted bird was delicious, so I'll just consider it as a way to enrich the menu.]
[I just want to know, why didn't the host just use gravity to kill him, instead of resorting to hypnotic bullets?]
[Didn’t you see how the swarm of insects were killed by the streamer and crushed into insect cakes? ]
If so many birds were torn to pieces in a greenhouse, imagine what would happen to the crops.
Although animal flesh and blood can also be used as nutrients to nourish the soil and crops, it is psychologically disgusting and unappetizing.
It will be much cleaner if you deal with it after hypnosis.
…
There are unpleasant and troublesome things like flocks of birds, but there are also relatively popular ones, such as rabbits.
They are small in size, have low combat power, cannot fly, and there are so many of them. Mixed in with countless beasts and birds of prey, they seem to be here to bring warmth.
The meat can be eaten, and the fur can be used to make scarves, fur collars and even cloaks for the female relatives.
Wearing a snow-white rabbit fur cloak, you will look so beautiful!
Almost all the young women in the village made one for themselves as soon as possible.
The women who had new babies were all radiant. In contrast, the young and strong men in the hunting team who got up early and worked late every day, except Lu Xuan, had big dark circles under their eyes and looked as if their bodies were hollowed out.
If you don’t know, you might think that they were drained of their energy by the female relatives.
The reality is that they have been busy dealing with the beast attack and have not had sex for many days.
Due to disharmonious private lives and lack of adequate rest due to intensive fighting, the young and strong men became increasingly irritable. Even Li Jing, who usually had a good temper, had a blank expression on his face all day long.
But the hunting team soon discovered that their situation was already good.
The ones who are really unlucky are the Huo family army.
This time when Yunlu Village was hit by a series of intensive beast attacks, the Huo family army also encountered a similar situation.
They had just lost more than 20 people in the Zerg not long ago, and this time they were even more unlucky. When the top combat power was far inferior to theirs, Huo Tiankuo, the leader, had an accident.
