Chapter 302 Salt Water Solution (13)
Lan Jin stood up, but the room was dark and she was still dazed and confused.
Without thinking much, she turned on the flashlight at her waist, which immediately illuminated the lounge. Immediately, she went to the door and turned on the lights in the room, which allowed her to see the situation inside the house clearly.
There was nothing in the room, but the only missing part was the glass, which was extremely dark. Without thinking too much, one could tell that there must be something on the glass.
However, when she lifted a corner of the curtain and saw the glass covered with insects, Lan Jin still got goosebumps and almost fell to the ground.
She immediately took several steps back, cursing: "Fuck."
Immediately afterwards, shouting and cursing rang out one after another in the lounge on the entire floor.
Ling Jiang from next door even came out of the bedroom and banged on Lan Jin's door, "Lan Jin, are you okay?"
There was no way. The impression that Lan Jin was afraid of insects had been deeply ingrained in Ling Jiang's mind. When she saw insects outside, the first person she worried about was Lan Jin.
Lan Jin quickly opened the door and replied, "It's okay, it's okay, but what's going on outside? It's disgusting."
Perhaps they heard the noise outside and knew it was time to go out, so everyone in the house walked out of the room in groups of three or four.
The hallway was suddenly packed with people. Just as someone was about to contact Brother Zhang, he arrived at the lounge with his intercom. Seeing that everyone was awake, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you're awake. I don't have to go and shout. Something happened outside. Have you ever encountered something like this before?"
This was the first time that the H City Base had encountered such a situation, so Brother Zhang didn't have much experience. However, there were not only people from the H City Base in the cabin, so what if people from other bases knew about it?
However, he was going to be disappointed this time, because no one had ever encountered such a situation before.
As a last resort, Brother Zhang could only turn his attention to Lao Shi, who might know the truth.
But Lao Shi didn't know either. "Although this area is very close to the J City base, and the people floating on the wooden planks are also from the J City base, this situation has never been encountered before. And these bugs... seem to be different from the bugs during the insect plague."
After all, no matter how many insects there are during an insect plague, they won't hurt or eat people. This insect—
What just happened was shrouded in smoke, and they were not clear about the specific situation, but judging from the screams, the people on the deck were probably in great danger. In addition, they had no way to go forward to rescue them. In short, their situation was not much better than that of the opposite side.
"What should we do then?" one of them asked in the corridor.
But compared to what to do, Lao Shi was more worried about the situation at the J City base. At this moment, he said with a serious face: "Captain Zhang, I think something must have happened at the J City base. I am applying to return to the J City base now, otherwise I will not be able to complete the mission."
Captain Zhang's face was cold, neither agreeing nor refusing. He simply said, "With this happening, we're not far from J City. We should have taken a detour to check it out, but the situation right now is so bad we're in danger. These bugs are clinging to the ship, preventing us from moving forward or confirming the situation on the ship ahead. You can't give up on the people at the J City base, but we can't give up on the people on the ship ahead either. So wait until we're out of this predicament, and then we can go together."
Lao Shi thanked him, "Thank you, Captain Zhang."
“That’s the right thing to do.”
But the current situation is that they are already trapped in the cabin, so how can they escape?
…
Captain Zhang could hardly hide his anxiety. He picked up the walkie-talkie and communicated with the people on the boats behind him. Of course, without exception, they were all surrounded by insects.
But there was a person with special abilities in the team who tried to use his special abilities on the bugs outside through the glass. The special abilities did work, but the bugs kept coming over and it was never-ending to clean them up, which made everyone a little distressed.
Brother Zhang asked, "What superpower did your superpower user use? Let's give it a try. It's better than doing nothing."
"Ice ability. The psychic thought that the insects coming out of the extreme heat should not be afraid of heat, so he used ice to deal with it. You can try it too."
When it comes to ice-related abilities, one has to look at Ling Jiang. Ling Jiang instructed her to return to the room immediately. It was impossible to open the curtains, but she could try through the curtains.
So he put the curtains on the glass, and in the hope of out of sight, out of mind, he used his ice ability on the insects outside the glass that were clinging to the boat.
Since he knew the number of insects in advance, Ling Jiang naturally tried his best when using his supernatural power.
Then, accidentally, the bug was frozen, but it also froze the bug and the hull tightly together. This situation was a bit funny. Even Ling Jiang himself didn't know how to explain what was happening for a while.
Ling Jiang turned around, gave Captain Zhang a wry smile, and said, "Captain Zhang, I froze them to death, but..."
"But it's frozen to the boat, right?" Captain Zhang rubbed his forehead. Sometimes having a teammate who's too strong isn't a good thing, so he said, "Then use your fire ability to melt the ice and let it fall freely from the boat."
Then, the fire-type mutants immediately returned to each room and used their abilities towards the windows. After a while, they melted the ice that was tightly stuck to the ship a little bit, and then with some human power, the insects fell into the water.
But the number of insects was far greater than they had expected, and they came in waves, with no intention of stopping at all.
Captain Zhang said, "This isn't a solution. We can't just hide like this forever."
At this moment, news came from the professors. Although this type of insect had not appeared before, they had studied and analyzed all kinds of insects during the insect plague period, just in case. Who knew that this eventuality would really come during the extremely hot period.
The solution is not difficult. Freezing it with ice is one of the methods. The second is to directly pour salt water on it. The lakes and rivers here are all fresh water. Simply letting it touch water is useless to them. But as long as it touches salt -
Everything is solved.
After receiving the news from the professor team, part of the problem was solved. The other part was how to stay among the insects long enough for them to pour salt water.
However, after finding the first solution, the subsequent problems were easily solved, because there was no shortage of high-tech products in the base.
Not long after, Brother Zhang found a few people to carry out a few sets of clothes, and also brought out several buckets of salt water. After giving a few instructions to the people in front of him, those people carried the things out of the cabin.
