Chapter 23 Extreme Heat, Blood-sucking Mosquitoes
The crowd killed each other and soon there were only a few people left.
The blood dyed their yard red, and the corpses looked like worthless pieces of rotten meat.
Zhang Qingzhi and Shen Baoying stood upstairs and witnessed these scenes, and only then did they truly realize how terrible the end of the world was.
It turns people into walking corpses and ruthless killing machines.
Ding Sheng was beaten to a bloody pulp by his two younger brothers, but the medicine box in his hand was snatched away by someone else.
At the same time, the three brothers, united in hatred of the enemy, strangled each other's necks until the other struggled to death.
Ding Chou quickly picked up the crushed medicine box. It was very light and obviously empty.
He ripped the medicine box into pieces, kicked Ding Sheng who was charging at him, and yelled at everyone still fighting, "The medicine box is empty! You bastards tricked us!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone seemed to press the pause button and opened the medicine box with trembling hands.
Empty... empty... still empty...
The intruder's angry gaze instantly turned into murderous intent.
"I will definitely drag you down with me to be buried today!"
They picked up sticks, hammers and kitchen knives from the ground and started smashing things violently again.
Breaking down walls, prying doors, cutting guardrails...
When Jiang Si threw the bomb, he had already thought of a way to retreat.
If you really can't stop them, take out the safety rope and retreat from the back.
Anyway, the RV has been modified by her, and mice will definitely not be able to get in.
Find a place to light a fire circle, and the whole family can spend the night safely as usual.
Jiang Si asked everyone to put on their safety buckles. Suddenly, a buzzing sound came like a tide. She looked up and her pupils suddenly contracted.
The swarm of mosquitoes covered the sky and the earth like the sky collapsing, and in an instant, they attacked all living things on the ground.
It was moving very fast and was about to come towards them.
Jiang Si hurriedly said, "Go back to the house, quickly!"
Just as everyone was about to ask why he didn't leave, Jiang Si pushed him into the pavilion.
Jiang Si locked the roof tightly, quickly took out the mugwort insect repellent, sprayed everyone all over, and then hurriedly said, "All the mosquito eggs have hatched!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the buzzing sound of mosquitoes, as if the earth was shaking, swept through the whole house, and the sky seemed to darken in an instant.
The crowd that was about to rush in with murderous intent suddenly fell silent.
The iron sheet of the second-floor window had not been pulled down yet, and Jiang Si rushed to the second floor again, and saw mosquitoes the size of longan gathering into a huge force, and the glass was about to be shattered in the next second.
Fortunately, Jiang Si reacted quickly and pulled down the iron layer when the glass was hit and shattered.
The buzzing sound like a devilish sound surrounded them. No one dared to be careless. They were tense all over and sprayed the mugwort insect repellent in their hands again and again.
After a long while, my mother's worried voice sounded: "What should we do if the rats come together?"
The air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.
Burning large amounts of gasoline indoors can be poisonous, and a small fire cannot stop the mad swarm of rats.
Going out, you will face swarms of blood-sucking mosquitoes.
It seems like... even though everything is fully prepared, I'm still in a desperate situation.
Jiang Si calmly analyzed: "If mosquitoes suck our blood, they will definitely suck the blood of mice. Don't worry, we will be fine."
Jiang Linhai's eyes lit up. "Yeah, that's right. It would be best if the mouse was sucked to death by the mosquito, and then the mosquito would stuff itself to death!"
The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed, and grandma said hopefully, "It would be great if we can hold on until dawn!"
Jiang Si found many iron boxes of different sizes in the space and stacked them up in the living room like nesting dolls. He also surrounded the boxes with a circle of fire and prepared an oxygen cylinder for everyone. He said, "Six layers of iron sheets, let's see when they can bite through them."
Everyone entered the innermost iron box, which was so narrow that each person could only just sit down and could not even turn around.
Being crowded is secondary; the key issue is that it’s too hot.
Jiang Si sprinkled a bunch of ice cubes between everyone's legs. Everyone was wearing protective clothing, and Xiao Hei and Da Hei were lying on everyone's legs, which was actually the most comfortable.
After a while, it was probably dark.
Jiang Si felt that the rats seemed to be moving out. Everyone held their breath and listened attentively. The rats seemed to be being violently sucked by mosquitoes, and the buzzing sound above their heads subsided.
It seems that mosquitoes have stronger attack power.
After five hours, dawn was expected.
Jiang Si walked out of the suitcase, his bent knees numb.
Xiao Hei and Da Hei were in high spirits and they were the only ones who slept well last night.
The buzzing sound of mosquitoes became much quieter. Jiang Si carefully pulled open the iron layer and looked through the glass window. He was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Looking around, the sky was black, full of mosquitoes, and the ground was pink, with mosquito eggs densely covering the entire ground.
And below the mosquito eggs are thousands of rat corpses...human corpses have long been buried among them.
In my previous life, there were also blood-sucking mosquitoes, but not as many as these.
There are no rats to provide enough nutrients for the blood-sucking mosquitoes, allowing them to reproduce in large numbers in an instant.
It's really terrible.
Shen Baoying covered her mouth and said tremblingly: “Sisi, can we still leave here now?”
"Wearing a few more layers of protective clothing shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Jiang Si frowned, "I can leave, but I don't know where is safe right now."
"If I go somewhere else, it's no different from here, so I might as well not leave."
Familiar places make it easier to deal with them.
If you go to other places and encounter something more terrifying than blood-sucking mosquitoes, it will be dangerous.
The mutated plants only appeared in the late stage of the apocalypse, but from the moment the apocalypse came early, Jiang Si could no longer control the direction of the apocalypse.
Everyone sighed deeply, ate a few bites of compressed biscuits, and started to use things to reinforce the doors and windows of their homes.
One day... Two days...
Jiang Si discovered that the adult insects in the sky were gradually dying, while the red insect eggs were gradually growing larger.
Everyone is becoming more and more anxious, worrying that the world will be ruled by mutated blood-sucking mosquitoes.
Just as the eggs were about to hatch, the temperature kept rising. Jiang Si and his team placed ice cubes indoors to cool the temperature down, but the temperature reached over 40 degrees Celsius. Conservative estimates suggest that the outdoor temperature was at least 70 degrees Celsius.
One morning, Jiang Si woke up and was surprised to find that all the mosquito eggs had exploded.
Perhaps the temperature is too high and it is no longer suitable for mosquitoes to reproduce.
Everyone was very excited. Grandma opened the window to ventilate. As her fingers touched a ray of sunlight, there was a "hiss" sound as if she was burned by a cigarette butt.
Grandma immediately withdrew her hand, but within a second, a huge blister appeared on her finger.
Jiang Si quickly closed the heat-insulated window, took out a watering can and kept spraying water on grandma's hands, which slightly relieved the intense burning pain in Zhang Qingfang's hands.
Jiang Linhai frowned and complained, "Could it be that the sun has mutated?"
Jiang Si applied the burn ointment to Grandma, looked out the window, shook his head and sighed, "It's solar radiation. If you go out, you'll be burned by the sun. If you go out for an hour, you'll definitely be a dried corpse."
