Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 34:



The weather is hot, the food is expensive, and it rots quickly. After these things, what makes people even more devastated is that the cockroaches in the house are becoming more and more rampant.

The situation is better if the marble floor is in the house. Since the picture of the wooden floor netizen's house full of cockroaches has become popular all over the Internet, many people have posted similar photos one after another. It is not an exaggeration. When it was opened, there was a nest of insects inside, as dense as bees crawling over the hive. The scene was like watching a sci-fi movie about insect infestation.

As a result, insecticide companies and masons have become the most sought-after existences in an instant. Those renovation companies that have gone bankrupt one after another due to the closure of the epidemic and the hot weather have once again ushered in the peak of their careers. It is also a profitable job, not to mention the current weather, it is definitely not cheap to send workers to do this kind of physical work, because there is not enough manpower, and there are too many customers who need to change the floor tiles to prevent insects, and even if they have money, they can't find them. The extent to which people do it.

Mu Nan looked at all kinds of news posted by netizens on the Internet that caused the loss of various items and food at home due to cockroaches, and sighed: "Fortunately, our house has tile floors."

Qin Huai smiled when he heard that, Mu's house used to be a floor, but the boys were naughty and always liked to run around the house, throwing toys around, even if they lived downstairs with a good-tempered teacher, but they couldn't Because he has a good temper, so if you don't talk about anything, you have to make an inch. If you can't control Mu Nan to play around at home, you have to replace all the floors in the house and replace them with marble.

But fortunately, it was changed at that time, otherwise it would cost another thing now.

But their family doesn't have to bother, and other families are not so lucky. The Zhang family who just came back, the house here has been vacant for a year or two. The house is not afraid of people living in it, but it is afraid of being empty, but the house still has a wooden floor installed.

Zhang Jianwen's grandson, Zhang Zicong, saw the news about cockroaches on the Internet, and somehow felt that there were cockroaches everywhere under the wooden floor at home, so he couldn't hold back, and lifted a piece of the floor that was slightly warped. Once it was lifted, the whole family went crazy, because the floor of their house also became a nest of insects.

What made them even more suffocated and desperate was that they had only moved here for a few days, and they were busy packing up from the burning house these days, so the things they brought in were piled up in the living room and at home. A pile of things, and the cockroaches that unsealed the floor seal crawled around the house and burrowed into the piled items, how could it not make people crazy.

So several members of the Zhang family screamed and jumped, because there were too many cockroaches to step on, and they didn't have insecticide in their hands, so they had no other way to deal with it except to open the door and hide. As soon as the door is opened, the cockroaches in the house will naturally crawl out. Several people in the Zhang family are screaming and jumping in the corridor. The neighbors next door and left will of course open the door to check the situation subconsciously when they hear such a big commotion outside. Yes, there were no cockroaches in the house, but now several cockroaches also ran in.

Qin Huai also came out to check the situation, but he didn't open the door, but stood inside the anti-theft door and looked outside with his cat's eyes. He saw Zhang's family members jumping around, and there were many cockroaches crawling around on the ground, so he also came out to check the situation Mu Nan pushed home: "There are cockroaches outside, you go in and close the door tightly."

When Mu Nan heard this, she couldn't help but get goosebumps: "There are cockroaches in the corridor? A lot?"

Qin Huai said: "It should have escaped from the Zhang family's house. I don't know if his house has wooden floors, but judging by the number, I'm afraid it was."

As soon as Qin Huai finished speaking, Mu Nan, who was holding a mobile phone, received a WeChat message. He clicked on it and saw that it was the group where he bought the film cloth last time. In the group, Yu Zibai's account sent a voice message. When the voice was turned on, it came out. It was Jian Chu's voice, Jian Chu shouted with panic and disgust: "Don't open the door, there are so many cockroaches outside!"

Apparently, Yu Zibai's house next door opened, and a few cockroaches ran in. Immediately afterwards, Dr. Xu made another voice. Although his tone sounded calm, he seemed to be enduring something: "You are too late."

Although Mu Nan felt that he shouldn't be laughing at this time, he couldn't help it: "Their house is full of cockroaches."

It’s okay if you don’t know about this thing, but you know how many of them ran into the house. If you don’t find them and kill them, you won’t be able to sleep well later. Who knows where they are hiding in the corner and eating what? , Will it crawl over your bed, the tableware you eat on, or even mate and reproduce in a corner of your house? Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

Several members of the Zhang family were still jumping outside, the young one resisted and hid back and forth, while the older ones started beating cockroaches with everything they could slap, probably thinking that they could kill one and lose one .

Naturally, it is impossible for this cockroach to stay still and let people beat it, and it will also hide in dark places, so the cockroaches in the corridor crawled away along the safety stairs on both sides in a short while, but there are no more in the corridor, Zhang's house I'm afraid there is another one, that Zhang Zicong said with a face of resistance that he was going to stay in a hotel, and he would not enter the house even if he was killed.

Qin Huai looked through the cat's eyes for a while, because the anti-theft door outside their house is very tight, there is no gap for that kind of big cockroach to crawl in, so as long as the iron door is not opened, there is no need to worry about the cockroaches coming in from outside, it's nothing to see It's a big deal, so I went back to the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Mu Nan sitting on the bed, hugging the pillow and laughing, and saw him waving at him: "Brother, listen to the neighbor, it seems that the sound insulation between our two houses is not good, and we couldn't hear the sound before." , because the sound is not loud enough." Sitting in the living room, they could all hear the voice of Jian Chu next door, who was yelling and directing Yu Zibai to fight cockroaches. How crazy is Li at the moment.

The two people next door were really sad at the moment. They themselves lived in the living room because of the air conditioner. In order to prevent the loss of air conditioning, the doors of the two rooms were kept closed. They pay attention to all kinds of cockroaches. They pick up things inside and outside the house as high as possible, and don’t pile them up on the ground to provide cockroaches with hiding corners. Every day, the kitchen and bathroom doors can’t be opened. There are cockroaches running out from there, polluting the place where they sleep and live.

But he didn't want to try his best to prevent accidents, so he couldn't stop opening the door once. As soon as the door opened, Jian Chu saw several cockroaches running in. He quickly trampled two to death, but there were still a few cockroaches who didn't know where they went in the blink of an eye.

At the moment, he and Yu Zibai are rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home, even looking for cockroaches on the bed, if they can't find the cockroach, they don't want to sleep.

The situation at Dr. Xu's side is not much better, but he lives alone. Although he is a veterinarian, he also has the habit of some doctors who are obsessed with cleanliness. He came back with a lot of insecticides and cleaned up the inside and outside of the house. Unexpectedly, opening the door once made his previous efforts all in vain.

But what is better than Jianchu and their situation is that he lives in the bedroom. In order to keep the temperature in the bedroom, the door is always closed. That is to say, he only needs to deal with the living room. Even if you can't find the few cockroaches that came in, as long as you close the door tightly, you don't have to worry about running into the room. But even so, Dr. Xu still found a roll of tape, planning to stick all the gaps in the door to death when he went to bed at night no matter whether he could find the cockroaches or not!

A bunch of cockroaches caused tragedies in three families.

But it's not just the Zhang family's house that has floors. Although not all houses with floors will have that kind of dense cockroaches, some are much more likely than marble floor tiles. In addition, their old buildings are more or less unable to avoid low-quality high-altitude parabolic objects. Some people will go downstairs and throw their garbage into the patio because they are too lazy to go downstairs. Although the patio is cleaned almost every week, there are still many There is a lot of rubbish, so there are more mosquitoes, rats and ants. The lower floors have suffered a lot before, and now cockroaches are inexplicably rampant, which once became the hardest hit area.

There are so many bugs, so many children in the downstairs house were even bitten. Although the cockroach itself does not have any poison, it carries too many viruses. One of the children developed serious symptoms after being bitten. Allergies, and because of his young age, he almost failed to recover.

In view of the fact that there were so many cockroaches that it became a disaster, the city government began to issue documents to the streets in various regions, and asked each community to arrange people to go to the city to collect insecticides. Not to mention that this harm can be eradicated, at least the cockroaches cannot be seriously affected. to affect life.

After killing insects in a community in one city, all the corpses of cockroaches were cleaned out, piled up on the ground and directly piled up into a hill, which made the scalps of many netizens feel numb. Many people thought it was strange, no It's just that the temperature is higher, why there are so many cockroaches all of a sudden.

Some people speculate that this is because the earth's magnetic field is changing. It's just that humans can't feel this change for the time being, but nature and this kind of insects and animals have been affected. Therefore, the extreme climate and the mutation of pests all show that The earth is undergoing a drastic change at the moment.

The community has been carrying out pest killing work for three days in a row, and a special notice has been posted, and Aite has notified the residents of the time of pest killing several times a day in the group, so that everyone can avoid going out during this time period.

The poisoning for three consecutive days has indeed played a big role. At least now I will let the wind downstairs at night. The people who chatted with people said that after killing the insects, they have never seen cockroaches all over the ground when sitting outside. The climbing situation is gone. Although the entire community has been poisoned, some residents' homes may not be able to deal with it so well, and even because of the poisoning outside, those things are more and more found in people's homes, so it is still necessary to find a pest control company. Some people hope that the community will come forward and find someone for them, and they will just pay. But now there are cockroaches everywhere, and the pest control company has already received a lot of orders. Even if the community comes forward, they may not be able to find someone, so they can only come by themselves.

Some people come by themselves, but those who live on the same floor suffer, such as the Zhang family.

Since the cockroach is hiding under the floor, lift up all the floors so that the cockroach has nowhere to hide. The conditions of Zhang’s family were probably pretty good, and they actually had several sets of protective clothing in their hands. In order to avoid being crawled by cockroaches, they wore protective clothing and pried the floor at home. As soon as the floor was pried, many cockroaches crawled around, making it impossible for the two neighbors to open the door. If it’s just that you can’t open the door, it’s not a big problem, just try not to go out, but their kitchen window faces the patio, and cockroaches can run around unscrupulously along the wall, and they are only tenants themselves. The previous head of the household did not make a closed range hood, but only installed an exhaust fan on the stove window, so that cockroaches ran into his home like this.

Although the doors and windows are tightly sealed to avoid the high temperature outside, but this kind of head can see several cockroaches crawling around on the balcony and on the kitchen floor through the window. The picture, no matter what, feels a little disgusting. Moreover, the floor of the whole room was pried over several days, so that sometimes when they were waiting for the elevator in the corridor, cockroaches would fly over their feet, which was too unbearable.

So Jian Chu, who couldn't bear it anymore, went directly to Zhang's family, hoping that they would deal with this matter as soon as possible, not to mention anything else, can you pry the floor and solve it within a day, so that they will suffer less torture, or can you pry and spray while prying? Insecticide, there is no insecticide company to deal with it, you can use insecticide water to kill as much as you can, it is better than prying open the floor and letting cockroaches crawl everywhere.

This Jianwen is a good face, even if others have a discussing tone, there is nothing impolite in the words used, but when someone points it out like this, he feels that his face is damaged, so the tone is not very good: " To put it simply, go buy a bottle of insecticidal water and try it, if you can buy it, I will spend double the money to buy it with you!"

Jian Chu was about to be laughed at by the other party: "If you can't buy insecticide, you just make other people's homes full of insects? If you have any difficulties, you can go to the community. There are some insecticides in the community. I think Downstairs, there are residents who have received medicine in the community..."

Before Jian Chu finished speaking, Zhang Jianwen said impatiently: "You think you can get it if you want to get it, but you have to wait in line! If you can't get the medicine and you can't kill the insects, then why don't we just stay here and pay for the hotel? You give it? You young people don't know how to speak and do things, you really don't know how to be polite!"

With just these two sentences, Yu Zibo could almost figure out that the other party was not a reasonable person to get along with, so he directly dragged Jian Chu back into the house.

Jian Chu stared at him angrily: "Why are you dragging me! That dead old man really doesn't make sense at all! What do you mean I am not polite? If I am not polite, their family will hurt our family for the first time. When the cockroaches came in, I just kicked the door! What the hell!"

Yu Zibai said helplessly: "Forget it, it's hard to buy insecticides now. It's even harder to find a bottle than the masks before. It's normal if people can't buy them. We just need to close the doors and windows tightly. The community really needs to apply. , but I applied for it from the very beginning, saying that it might be available in the next two days, and when we have the medicine, we will go get some and clean up the inside and outside of the house."

Even if he was comforted, Jian Chu was still very angry, can't he speak well, at least an apology should be there, and he said he was rude, what kind of person is this.

There were cockroaches crawling on the balcony of Jian Chu's house, and Mu Nan's house next door to their house would naturally be implicated, but their house sealed off the balcony, so those cockroaches that crawled along could only be in the Climb outside the window. Originally, Mu Nan didn't notice this situation, but one day he suddenly wanted to remove the sunshade inside the house to see what was going on outside during the day, only to see many cockroaches lying on the window outside their balcony.

Because the temperature inside the house is low, and there is a layer of insulation on the outside of the glass, those cockroaches can't get in the house, and they probably want to find a cool place, so they sneak in through the gaps in the shelter to avoid the sun's exposure, and they are greedy for a little bit. The low temperature seeping through the windows is almost turning them into a nest outside the window.

Seeing this scene, Mu Nan immediately performed a tenor on the spot.

Qin Huai was washing his face and brushing his teeth in the bathroom, when he heard Mu Nan's voice, he was so frightened that he ran out of the bathroom with his toothbrush in his mouth. Seeing that Mu Nan was still jumping up and down on the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong?"

Mu Nan pointed to the window: "The outside is going to become a nest of insects! It's so disgusting!"

Qin Huai brushed his teeth and said, "Don't move, wait for me to deal with it."

Mu Nan directly opened the curtains inside the house. For convenience, he specially installed a thin cotton rope on the outside membrane cloth. The warm cloth is pulled up. When Qin Huai came out of the bathroom, he saw Mu Nan struggling to pull the rope, muttering, "I'll burn you to death! You'll be exposed to the heat!"

Qin Huai stepped forward amusedly: "Don't worry, the cockroach didn't die from the sun, but you got sunburned instead."

There was a news not long ago. There was a family of children, seven or eight years old. When the adults were not paying attention, they opened the curtains in the middle of the day and wanted to look outside. I don’t know why they haven’t seen the sun for a long time. , or that child looked directly at the sun stupidly, and when the family found out his actions, they quickly pulled down the sunshade protection, the child's eyes were already white and he couldn't see anything, although it got better after a while It was a little blurry, but the eyes were still blurred. Only after being sent to the hospital for examination did they know that many people had irreversible damage to their eyes due to the stimulation of strong light, and some even lost their sight due to it.

Now seeing Mu Nan trying to pull away the thick layer of membrane cloth outside, Qin Huai naturally stepped forward quickly: "I'll do it, you stay back."

Mu Nan also thought of the strong light outside, so he quickly took out two pairs of sunglasses from the space, and put on a pair for Qin Huai: "Don't look at the sun later, just pull it up a little to disperse the cockroaches."

As soon as the film cloth was pulled up, the scorching heat that invaded instantly caused the cockroaches that were greedy for cold to scatter and flee. After a while, all the cockroaches on the glass of their windows ran away.

Mu Nan said: "I ran away today, maybe I will come again tomorrow, why there are so many cockroaches all of a sudden." In the last life, there was no solution to the sudden increase of cockroaches, and the situation became worse and worse later, rats and insects and the like There are more and more of them, but at that time, people's focus is no longer on the harm of those things, but whether they can be eaten, and no one cares why these things are more and more. If you can eat more, it is food.

Qin Huai wondered, "Could it be because of the earthquake?"

Mu Nan was taken aback: "You mean the abnormalities of the animals before the earthquake? But the earthquake will take at least two months. Could it be that those animals feel uneasy now?"

Although Qin Huai doesn't know, it's not impossible: "Maybe it's not necessarily an earthquake, but the weather conditions in the whole nature are changing, so all creatures have become restless."

Mu Nan didn't bother to delve into it, she made sure that the doors and windows of the house were covered, and then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. It was dawn and the sun came out, and it was time for them to go to bed.

Electricity has been slightly relieved due to periodic power outages, and most people have adapted to life without power for at least a few hours a day. However, as the high temperature remains high, there has been no rain in various regions for several months. The water level dropped sharply, and the water supply became more and more tense. It is said that in some communities, the water has been cut off for nearly a week. Water trucks are arranged to supply water every day. Each person can only receive five liters of water a day. The water given now is quite a lot, although there is no way to meet everyone’s daily water consumption. Expenses, but at least some drinks are useful, thirsty, save a little, and even take a bath every two days.

Of course, if this water also needs to meet physiological needs, it is definitely not enough, so the public toilets that were once provided to passers-by or tourists have become places where many people meet their physiological needs. Many people go there, but because there is no The water was cleaned up in time, and the environment inside was almost a detour ten meters away.

The situation on Mu Nan's side is a bit stronger, but they have also started to restrict water use. Unlike electricity consumption, electricity needs to be continuously consumed, so it can only be cut off periodically. However, water can be supplied at a certain time. Therefore, in order to meet the pressure of water use, the upper management also began to provide water in stages. Every night from 12:00 to 1:00, water will come in for an hour, so that residents can prepare to receive water at home. Utensils to store enough water for a day's use.

There is a lot of water in Mu Nan's space, and he doesn't even need to rely on containers to store water. He can gather the water in the space into a ball, like a lake, but the water that is put in like that, wants to be taken out Sometimes, it can only be taken out by his hand. When it was not difficult to close the water at home before, Mu Nan put a large storage box in the bathroom every day, and when it was full, he stretched out his hand to collect it. He could not collect the storage box, and directly put the water inside into the space , although the space does not take up space, a storage box is also a bit expensive. At the beginning, he also collected water in boxes. Later, he really didn’t have so much money to buy so many containers, so he tried to collect water directly. Didn't expect it to work.

But even though there was a lot of water, he didn't dare to waste it at all, so after restricting the water, Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai: "Do you want to use our cat litter?"

Qin Huai felt that this was not necessary for the time being, after all, it can still provide one hour of water every day, so he said: "Let's put it away for now, cat litter may be able to trade with people in the future."

Mu Nan also felt a little embarrassed. If he wanted to be alone, it would be fine, but now there are two people, it's a bit embarrassing, not to mention that it's really not to that level now, so he temporarily dismissed this idea. Store water diligently at one point.

It's just that when the normal amount of water in the faucet decreased day by day, and finally turned into a trickle, the pressure of dissatisfaction with water broke out.
