Chapter 128
Mutant Cockroach
Fang Xin quickly adjusted the flashlight and shone it over there. He saw the dog take two quick steps and suddenly grabbed the thing.
When Fang Xin took the dog's paw away, a large cockroach burst into juice and lay flat on the ground, deader than dead.
Fang Xin took out a tissue and cleaned up the cockroaches.
Fortunately, the dog doesn’t have the habit of eating cockroaches. Who knows if this thing is poisonous?
Fang Xin felt a little scalp-tingling. This cockroach was quite big, more than three times bigger than an ordinary cockroach. It was also black and red in color, and had a very hard carapace.
Cockroaches like dark and humid places the most. This place is in the north, so how could there be such big cockroaches? Such big cockroaches are usually only found in the south.
Could it be
Changed
It is very likely that, judging from the size and hardness of the shell, it is very likely a variation.
If it is nuclear radiation mutation, there must be a lot of viruses and bacteria in the body.
So here comes the problem.
When a cockroach appears, it is very likely that there is already a nest of them in places you can't see.
Fang Xin used a flashlight to check and indeed saw cockroaches crawling out of the bathroom floor drain.
Just go up and kick him.
This thing crawls very fast when you see it. You can't touch it before you step on it once, but you will kill it with the second step.
Fang Xin took out some tissue paper and dealt with the cockroach.
We must quickly seal all the sewer openings.
Fang Xin took out the cement, mixed some of it, and sealed all the sewer pipes in the house with cement.
While applying cement, big cockroaches would crawl out from the pipe opening. Fang Xin would take off his slippers and beat them to death.
I beat every one of them to death as they crawled out. Slippers are still very useful.
The dog will also help out, and will kill a cockroach with one claw if it sees one.
In just a short while, the man and the dog killed more than a dozen.
Only after all the sewers were finally sealed did Fang Xin breathe a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to sleep in the same room with a bunch of cockroaches every day.
Fang Xin took out 84 disinfectant and a thorough cleaning was necessary.
Wear a mask and rubber gloves.
Take out a basin, pour some 84 into it, add some water to dilute it, and start mopping the floor.
She is very worried about cockroaches, so she feels more at ease with disinfection.
If there is a virus or something, it is no joke.
The smell of 84 disinfectant was so pungent that it made her dog sneeze, so Fang Xin sent the dog into the space.
Every corner of the house needs to be mopped, all the furniture must be put into the space first, and the bottom of the furniture must also be wiped and disinfected.
As soon as I put the coat closet into storage, two cockroaches popped out.
The cockroach didn't know what was going on. It was hiding so well, but suddenly it was exposed. It fell on its back, and its claws kept flapping, trying to turn its body over and escape.
The good guys actually had some fish that had escaped the net, so Fang Xin quickly stepped forward and stomped them to death one by one.
She lifted her feet and looked at them with disdain, then took out a new pair of slippers from the space and put them on.
I didn't expect that the space had this function, so Fang Xin put all the things in the house into the space one by one.
Several of them actually popped out.
Every time one pops out, I kill him with my old slippers.
Finally, I felt relieved after throwing all the furniture into the storage space.
Finally, after disinfecting the entire house, she sat down to rest.
At this moment, she was sitting paralyzed on the sofa.
After a whole day of training, I was busy cleaning the house when I came back. I was really exhausted.
I dragged my tired body into the space and took a hot bath, and then I felt the fatigue was relieved.
After taking a shower, I felt much more relaxed and could finally sit down and have dinner in peace.
At this time, every household in the base was in chaos.
There are many cockroaches crawling out of the sewers of every house.
It was so miserable.
Even cockroaches bite people.
After biting it, it will swell into a big lump.
It causes cough and high fever, symptoms similar to viral influenza.
The base immediately issued an emergency notice. According to expert analysis, cockroaches carry viruses in their bodies, and called on survivors to protect themselves, avoid being bitten, and get rid of cockroaches in their homes as much as possible.
Fortunately, Fang Xin had gotten rid of all the cockroaches, so he didn't have to be bothered by them at all and could lie in bed peacefully.
Fang Xin took out earplugs and plugged his ears to block out the outside sounds, then he gradually fell asleep.
It seems like the mutated cockroaches are inexorable. When you kill one, more will pop up.
The ordinary survivors were suffering terribly. Many survivors were bitten every day, and some weak survivors even lost their lives.
The base hospital was overcrowded, most of the people were bitten by cockroaches, and some had colds and fevers due to being caught in the rain.
The base's medical team is also working hard to develop treatments for the disease.
Fang Xin firmly believes that as long as the medical team works hard, they can successfully develop the product.
The base store was sold out of insect repellent, but ordinary insecticides were ineffective against the mutated cockroaches.
It was useless to buy them back, so I had to use the primitive and brutal method and beat them to death one by one.
The heavy rain outside is beating against the glass every day. It has been raining for more than a month and there is still no sign of stopping.
Fang Xin was either staying there or training every morning, so he renewed his stay at the training gym for another month.
After being vacant for more than a month, someone finally moved in next door.
It was two men.
When Fang Xin came back from the training hall, he saw two men carrying things, all wet. They were about 1.756 meters tall, with faces that looked like they didn't want to be approached by strangers. When they saw people, they just gave them a slightly worried look, as if they didn't care about anyone.
Grandpa Li stood at the door and saw Fang Xin, "You're back."
“Well, this is a new one.”
"He's a new neighbor."
"By the way, the vegetables in the planting area are ready. I'll get you some. Wait a minute."
Having said that, Grandpa Li went back to the house without waiting for Fang Xin to react and took out a large bag of vegetables.
"Take it back and eat it. This is enough for you to eat for a while."
Fang Xin looked at the green vegetables in the bag and said, "They are growing well. How is the harvest?"
Grandpa Li didn't directly say whether the harvest was good or not, he just gave Fang Xin a thumbs up.
Fang Xin smiled, "That's good."
As he spoke, the old man stuffed another bag of stuff into Fang Xin's hand and whispered to him, "Take this back and use it. Your grandmother made it herself. It's especially effective against cockroaches."
Fang Xin silently put the powder into his pocket and gave the old man a thumbs up. Fang Xin knew that his grandmother had developed a method to conquer the mutated cockroaches, but he didn't want to attract other people's attention.
Fang Xin also didn't want to attract other people's attention, as standing out might not necessarily be a good thing.
At this time, the two men walked out of the house. When they saw the vegetables in Fang Xin's hand, they swallowed unconsciously.
They haven't eaten such fresh vegetables for a long time.
One of the men asked, "Can we trade some vegetables with you?"
