Chapter 22: National Pest Control
Moreover, there are laws and regulations in the end times. Killing people in return will not be a crime, and the masses can also receive corresponding points as rewards for reporting evil forces.
According to information released by relevant departments, the incubation time of these giant mosquito eggs is 6-8 days, which is longer than the incubation period of ordinary mosquito eggs. Each female mosquito can lay 600-700 eggs at a time, and time is tight.
While others were still hesitating, everyone on the 16th floor acted without hesitation.
The number of professional scoop nets provided by the state is limited, and three floors share one. After some discussion, they will use the scoop net on the 16th floor today, and then on the 15th and 14th floors.
Shen Qianxun swept through the kitchen supplies stored in the space and quickly selected two large mesh screens. The wire mesh was strong and dense, ensuring that not a single insect egg would be missed.
One assault boat and two rubber boats were left directly to Luo Baiwan, who was allowed to distribute them himself.
The two households next door also went out with the tools they found, and a group of people gathered at the stairs to arrange the distribution of personnel.
Shen Qianxun, Chen Dabao, Xu Xiaoyue, and Lin Yu were in a group of four, and the others were in a group, with a professional fishing net.
Officer Yan said, "Grandma Deng is in charge of looking after the house and taking care of Mother Yan. Please contact me via intercom if you need anything."
Grandma Deng nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Du taught me how to use it a few days ago."
The walkie-talkies they collected had an effective communication range of less than 8 kilometers, and they did not plan to drive too far from the community. After all, they had food at home, and they felt a little nervous about going out.
Officer Yan tied a rope directly around his wrist and tied the other end to his 6-year-old daughter Liao Huihui to prevent any accidents.
Seeing this, 10-year-old Lin Yu immediately said, "I will pay attention." Xu Xiaoyue nodded.
A group of people quickly came downstairs and started fishing in the waters around the apartment building.
Currently, there are very few people coming out to catch the fish. When they hear that they are poisonous mosquito eggs, many people worry about infection and hesitate.
In the muddy flood water, it is difficult to find traces of mosquito eggs at a glance, so you can only cast a wide net.
Not long after, Lin Yu beside him exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Xiaoxun, is this it?"
Shen Qianxun turned his head and saw that there was a yellow and white sticky substance attached to it, a piece about the size of a palm.
I held it in my hand and felt it was quite heavy.
He lowered his head and sniffed, "It has a fishy smell. Xiaoyu is awesome, this is it."
Lin Yu quickly showed the mosquito eggs to the other two people, and then gently placed them in the plastic basin next to him.
She had heard it clearly before, the announcement on the radio, trying not to break the insect eggs, and the relevant personnel would dispose of them harmlessly.
Soon, the other three also harvested their first spoonful of mosquito eggs. Xu Xiaoyue and Lin Yu seemed particularly excited and secretly began to compete to see who could catch more.
In less than an hour, each of them had caught several kilograms of fish, and the apartment building was still in front of them.
From time to time, assault boats with flamethrowers appear around, killing the poisonous mosquitoes hiding in dark corners, waiting to lay eggs again.
Chen Dabao looked at the half-filled bucket of mosquito eggs and said, "Let's get a few more big buckets out this afternoon."
Shen Qianxun nodded, “There are far more mosquito eggs than I imagined.”
No wonder in the last life, the sky outside the window was pitch black and filled with poisonous mosquitoes. The disinfection workers outside were quickly overwhelmed and swallowed up. The survivors could only lock themselves in an almost closed space. The windows were broken, so they could only use furniture to cover themselves and dared not go out at all.
Xu Xiaoyue suddenly asked, "Can these be eaten?"
Chen Dabao, "What do you want to eat?"
Xu Xiaoyue pointed, "Mosquito eggs."
Chen Dabao looked at Shen Qianxun, and Shen Qianxun shook her head, “I don’t know either.” In her previous life, she had never eaten it, so she really didn’t know.
However, mosquito eggs have always been a traditional delicacy in a country across the ocean, similar to fried rice in China.
There are a large number of mosquito eggs, and if they can be turned into storable food, it is indeed a good choice. However, it is not known how toxic they are and whether they are edible.
At present, we can only place our hopes on national research, and they just need to obey the country's call and be responsible for the salvage.
In the previous life, the country had been trying to find ways to save more survivors, whether it was building bases day and night, maintaining public order, distributing relief food, or other things, the country was there from beginning to end.
If he could do it all over again, Shen Qianxun believed that with foresight, the country would be able to lead more survivors to the end.
At 10:30, everyone on the 16th floor returned to the downstairs of the community and handed in their current catch.
Officer Yan and his team, who had professional fishing nets, reaped a rich harvest.
Officer Yan said, "I'll give you the fishing net this afternoon."
Shen Qianxun. "Okay."
The former building manager, Aunt Wu from 1102, moved a table to the entrance of the stairs on the 8th floor and was responsible for registration. Behind her was a 1.5-meter-high special iron bucket.
Shen Qianxun weighed the three-hour harvest, a total of 24 kilograms of mosquito eggs. Officer Yan and his team harvested 46 kilograms. One kilogram of mosquito eggs can be exchanged for 2 points.
The points card is still in production, so for now it can only be replaced by a signature on a form.
Taking advantage of the break, Chen Dabao took the two back to the 16th floor and brought down 4 large plastic buckets and 3 washbasins.
Everyone on the 16th floor quickly divided the equipment and went their separate ways.
After they had traveled some distance, a deafening roar came from their apartment building, which could be heard in several surrounding buildings.
At this time, in the apartment building, Luo Baiwan stood at the door of 1203 with his hands on his hips, "Everyone inside, I know you are at home, so only one person can stay to watch the house. The rest of you, get out and work."
Seeing no one respond, he sneered, "If you don't open the door in 3 seconds, I'll shit in front of your door every day."
He took off his pants while talking, and the zipper sound could be heard through the door.
The burly younger brother behind him twitched his mouth, pinched his nose consciously, and stepped back.
His eldest brother is really capable of doing this. Not long ago, he urinated at the door of 903, which scared the owner of 903, Song Xueming, and his whole family out.
Sure enough, before the 3-second countdown was over, the door creaked open.
The man's voice was filled with tears. "No, no, no, come out immediately."
Luo Baiwan then pulled up his pants and shouted, "If you don't cum in one minute, I'll give you some golden urine."
The building manager of Building 18 opposite was not willing to be outdone. He shouted at people to come out to work, but compared to Luo Baiwan who talked about shit, piss and fart all the time, he was much more polite.
Shen Qianxun covered her face, their Building 16 was considered famous.
And from then on, whenever Luo Baiwan was mentioned, the immediate thought was, "You don't know Luo Baiwan, he's the loud-mouthed manager of Building 16 who loves to poop."
"Oh, it's him."
Looking back at his previous life, Luo Baiwan, as the building manager, was not as motivated as he is now. Not long after the rainstorm, he was hacked to death by thugs from the neighboring community, along with several of his younger brothers.
Looking at the people he called out, Luo Baiwan felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Just this morning, a government worker called him aside and told him that a base would be established in their area soon. They also promised that as long as he performed well as the building manager, he would be given a public office when the base was completed, which would be equivalent to a stable job after the apocalypse.
In the end times, only by clinging to the country can one live longer. Luo Baiwan knows this very well. He wants to get a stable job as a primary school graduate, so he must be full of energy and must surpass other building managers in his quest to become the number one building manager in the entire southwest region.
Little did they know that the staff said the same thing to every building manager.
Of course, what is said is true, but the assessment standards are very strict.
