In fact, there were too many locusts, which frightened the livestock.
Some of the stems broke their ropes and ran around.
The green and yellow rice in the fields was eaten up by locusts in an instant, leaving countless people in despair.
The locusts in the locust plague lost their gentle nature and became extremely ferocious. They devoured crops like demons, leaving the bare fields as if mocking humans.
When Sun Biao saw the ferocious locusts, the string of reason in his mind was completely broken.
He hurriedly ran out of the city gate, his eyes bloodshot.
He could not accept that the crops that the people of the Zhou clan under his rule had worked so hard to grow were about to be harvested, but in the blink of an eye, not even a single leaf was left.
"No more, nothing, all gone."
"What are you all doing here? Hurry up and catch these things."
After Sun Biao finished shouting at the top of his lungs, his face suddenly turned pale and his chest kept heaving violently as if it was about to explode.
Even so, Sun Biao stared at the locust with flaming eyes, and as his anger gradually reached its peak, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Hurry up... not yet."
"Sir, you..."
"puff--"
Sun Biao spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red.
Sun Biao suddenly vomited blood, and the air around him seemed to freeze. The people around him looked at him in horror.
Not only did the yamen runners get scared, but even the other four county magistrates turned pale.
It's a mess!
Now everything is messed up!
His hatred for the locusts reached its peak. Sun Biao waved his hands and stomped on them. Soon, the soles of his shoes and the ground were covered with splattered juice residue.
Perhaps feeling that this was not enough, Sun Biao picked up his tools and rushed out of the city gate.
The people of the Qi clan outside the city gate watched as more than half a year's hard work was wiped out in an instant. They felt helplessness and grief, and many of them knelt down and cried bitterly.
"Oh... God, please leave us some way to survive."
"Damn bugs, you ate my food, I'm going to kill you."
"Without food, how are we going to survive?"
Some people were so desperate that they had lost the ability to move, but most people were still trying to drive away the locusts.
However, the number of locusts is too large. All the strength of the people combined is just a drop in the bucket and cannot have any impact on the locusts at all.
The county magistrates of Wujiang County, Huangyao County, Shuimo County, and Gugang County also followed to the outside of the city. The stench of locust excrement mixed with the smell in the air was so strong that they wanted to vomit.
Sun Biao was stunned as he looked at the locusts that were increasing in number instead of decreasing in number.
"Bang——"
He knelt down.
It’s wrong, totally wrong, extremely wrong.
He shouldn't have been so blindly confident, thinking that Yang Zhijin was just a young boy and not believing in a locust plague. He even pushed the 10,000 ducks given by Yang Zhijin out of the room.
If he had known earlier, if he had known this, he would have been prepared. It's too late to say anything now.
…
Wuning County!
After Yang Zhijin came back, he made preparations according to Li Mengyue's suggestions and waited for the locust army to arrive.
Yang Zhijin, dressed in casual clothes, was holding the latest capture net made by the carpenter.
