Infinite Disaster Survival

"Chunyuan, there are locusts in the field again, go catch them at your house."

"Uncle, we'll go there right away. These damn mutant locusts are so strong that we haven't been able to kill them all even after burning the land."

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky in Kangtai County, Jinliao Province, just got up. Qian Chunyuan hung up the phone with his uncle and put down the half-eaten bowl of rice. He felt heavy in his heart and lost his appetite.

He stood up, put on the backpack, opened the door of the chicken coop in the yard, and picked up a long bamboo pole to drive the chickens out.

After many days of training, the chickens were familiar with the path and would not run into other people's fields halfway. The bamboo pole in Qian Chunyuan's hand was only used to control them from being too scattered. They would run to Qian Chunyuan's field by themselves.

When he saw the locust larvae whose wings had not yet grown in the field, Qian Chunyuan squatted down and caught them. There were red spots under their eyes. They were still the mutant locusts.

He didn't even have the heart to scold now. He walked to the place where the chickens hadn't arrived yet, holding a net bag in one hand and swinging a bamboo pole with the other hand to hit the leaves. The locusts jumped up in fright and were trapped in the net bag, and then put into the backpack.

After a while, the nearby residents drove their chickens and ducks to arrive one after another. They were so tired that they didn't want to talk.

As residents of Jinliao Province who suffered from the locust plague, they first burned the land and sprayed pesticides, trying to kill all the eggs laid by the locusts before they grew up.

At that time, they really didn't expect that this mutant locust had such a strong survival ability. When spring came, seeing the figure of young locusts on the fields, it felt like being hit on the head with a stick.

When they were dealing with the locust plague, they had seen too many corpses of mutant locusts. The red spots under the eyes of mutant locusts were the most obvious feature that distinguished them from ordinary grasshoppers. After randomly picking up a dozen mutant locusts from the ground, the local residents immediately reported it.

But the government did not have a particularly effective method for the time being. The plants finally grew again, and they couldn't continue to burn them with fire. They can only encourage residents to start raising chickens and ducks, and use biological locust control methods to kill the locust plague in the bud when these mutant locusts are still in the larval stage.

After bending over for more than half an hour, Qian Chunyuan straightened up and sat casually on the grass to rest. Just as he drank a sip of water, the sound of police car sirens came from far away and appeared on the road in the distance, driving into their residential area.

"I guess the police are here to arrest Qian Fuming."

"What's the matter? He really wanted money so much before that he sold live locusts?"

The villagers who were tired and ready to rest began to gather together to exchange information, looking in the direction of the police car while talking. When they saw the police car parked at the door of Qian Fuming's house, they knew that it was almost certain.

Qian Fuming estimated that he knew what was going on. When he saw the police coming, he did not refute or struggle, and obediently sat in the police car and left.

After the police car drove away, he couldn't help but spit again.

When the locust plague was just under control, how to deal with the follow-up situation and the locust corpses was the most urgent problem to be solved. The government was so busy that it ignored the fact that some people were trading the corpses of mutant locusts, or even live mutant locusts, on the Internet.

The serious problem that was ignored was realized when the official news platform announced the difference between mutant locusts and ordinary locusts at the beginning of spring this year, as well as the characteristics of strong vitality and strong reproductive ability.

Some netizens found that there was a self-media engaged in locust breeding, which was breeding this kind of mutated locusts, and even hatched the eggs laid by locusts, and immediately reported it to the authorities.

The authorities immediately launched an investigation and found that there have been related transactions since the beginning of the locust plague. Usually, they communicated on the Internet and transported them offline through express delivery. Some were alive and some were dead, some were single, and more were sent out in groups.

The situation was serious.

The police began to follow the clues of various online trading platforms to investigate the situation. In serious cases, they had to ask the police station for questioning.

Those buyers who bought mutant locusts specifically did not consider the consequences. At that time, the country had not yet announced the mutation of the reproduction ability of this locust. One or two locusts might have been released. When they realized that the practice was wrong, they insisted that the locusts had been killed long ago.

Qian Fuming was treated to be picked up by a police car. Not only did he sell a lot of locusts, but he must have bought live locusts. The villagers in Kangtai County suffered serious losses from the locust disaster. Naturally, they looked down on Qian Fuming, who did not consider the consequences at all in order to make a little money.

From early spring to now, the weather has been getting warmer and warmer. The locust eggs in Jinliao Province have hatched into larvae, and the rest of the provinces in the country are similar.

Someone found a mutant locust in the larval state in the green bushes of the community. He called the relevant departments and posted it on the Internet.

After the topic became popular on the Internet, more people began to observe the grasshoppers around them, and many people really found mutant locusts around them.

A vigorous locust eradication campaign has begun across the country. Government personnel in uniform are often seen on the roadside spraying locust attractants on the open ground to kill all the mutant locusts that escape.

So far, the situation in Jinliao Province is the most serious. It has just turned from the low temperature winter to the spring, and the newly hatched locusts have not yet grown to the breeding season, so the spread of mutant locusts in other provinces is still under control.

However, the current situation of mutant locusts "blooming everywhere" has also caused concerns among some elderly people. In addition, some unscrupulous self-media that only know how to attract attention, in places where mutant locusts are found, many elderly people have begun to purchase large and small bags of reserve food to take home.

The young man was very calm. After persuading the elderly at home, he looked at the large amount of food and could only comfort himself that the food had a long shelf life and could be kept forever.

Under this circumstance, the news that the locust killer specially developed for mutant locusts passed various tests and officially started production became a life-saving medicine for the residents of Jinliao Province and a reassurance for the people of other provinces.

"Although I don't quite understand the string of data published, I believe in the country. If it can be put into production, there must be no problem."

"That's great. Now there is no need to worry."

"The research speed is so fast. It took only a few months to produce results that can be put into production. Thank you researchers for your hard work these days."

The official media just released the news, and netizens rushed to it immediately. The various research data and test data published made people dizzy, but the final conclusion was simple and clear.

The new locust killer only works on mutant locusts, and has no effect on other types of locusts in the local area, so it will not cause too serious impact on the ecological chain. Moreover, the new locust killer can be quickly degraded in the environment, so the impact on the environment is also very small.

It's really amazing.

At first, the comments were all praise, but as the popularity of the news gradually increased, the number of netizens attracted increased exponentially, and doubts began to appear in the comments below.

"The locust research experts around the world have not yet found any results. It's not that I doubt the research level of our country, but this news came a little too suddenly."

"It takes a lot of time to do all kinds of tests on the new locust killer. How much time will be left for research after these? Will they be in a hurry to put it into production and cut corners on the tests? It's better to wait a little longer."

"I asked a foreign classmate, and he searched the foreign Internet. Those foreign bigwigs with super research levels have not found a research idea to solve the mutant locusts."

"The people above are all in the bar. If they really haven't found it, is there any need to falsify it?"

The skeptics don't believe that an effective new locust killer can be invented in just a few months. They just don't believe that the scientific researchers in their own country have this ability. If foreign countries publish the same belief, it is estimated that the comments will be completely opposite.

Normal netizens will inevitably be irritated by the voices of doubt, and some people are ready to fight with these skeptics. The official account has issued a new message again.

When the initial samples of the new locust killer were produced, the country quickly arranged a rapid testing channel. At the same time, the relevant information of the new locust killer was provided to the International Locust Plague Research Association. Locust research experts from many countries conducted the same quality research seriously, and the final results are shown in the attached picture.

The latest announcement was just released not long ago, and it was forwarded by the account of the Yuguo online social platform that the International Locust Plague Research Association applied for at some point, and added a comment.

"This is a miracle!"

The skeptic who insisted that Yuguo was a fraud just now, covered his face that was about to be swollen, and silently deleted the comment.

Unfortunately, the normal netizens who were arguing with them just now have not forgotten them, and left comments in the comments to ridicule them, and those skeptics did not dare to reply at all.

The normal netizens are completely happy now. After laughing, they have a strong sense of pride and security. They are eager to urge the production of the new locust killer and express their gratitude to the relevant researchers again.

After the news was released online, it was officially released again during the most important news period of the day.

People across the country, especially residents in the disaster-stricken areas of Jinliao Province, were happy again after seeing it. They thought that the locust plague, which they thought had no hope of ending, would be solved. They couldn't help but eat two more bowls of dinner.

Qian Chunyuan and other villagers in Kangtai County have been looking forward to the news of the new locust killer since the country released the news. It can be said that they counted the days every day.

The first batch of locust killers produced were naturally supplied to Jinliao Province, which was still troubled by locusts. Kangtai County, as one of the places on the route of the locust plague at that time, became the first pilot for spraying the new locust killer.

After receiving the news, local residents were anxiously waiting for the arrival of that day. When the government's notice arrived half a day in advance, the villagers patiently stayed at home and waited.

Although the new locust killer has little effect on the human body, it is better to minimize human contact with it when spraying.

The scheduled time arrived, and the local villagers who had been waiting for a long time all walked to their balconies or windows, looking at the helicopters flying in the sky and hovering over their land.

The new locust killer was sprayed from the plane in the form of rain and mist, dripping onto the green land. The mutant locust larvae, which were still green and hidden in the plants, did not know that their strange road had arrived.

The situation in the field was not visible to ordinary people who were far away, but in the live broadcast of the drone that flew after the locust killer was sprayed, everyone watching could clearly see the effect of the new locust killer.

The locust larvae that had not reacted just after the spraying were still lying on the leaves of the plants, and some were happily eating the plants. Slowly, the movements of these locust larvae began to change, and their heads tried in different directions one after another, and finally chose a direction to move forward.

The mutant locusts slowly gathered.

At first it looked like the effect of the locust attractant, but soon the difference between the two agents was known.

After these mutant locusts gathered together, they began to attack their own kind. The drone lowered the distance and zoomed in on the mutant locusts. It can be seen that these mutant locusts attacked mercilessly, and after defeating one, they went to find the next one.

In a short period of time, hundreds of locusts became corpses. The locusts that won the final victory also experienced many battles, with their limbs in pieces and even the ability to move.

The mutant locusts killed each other ferociously, and humans couldn't help but cheer after seeing it.

The new locust killer can not only gather the mutant locusts but also make them kill each other. There is no need to use the eyes to find them bit by bit. Even if a few mutant locusts survived the internal fighting in the end, it is estimated that they will not be able to escape the capture of birds and humans.

After the news that Yuguo developed a new locust killer was released in China, the International Locust Plague Research Organization simultaneously released the same content on the websites of other countries.

Compared with the domestic doubting comments, the doubtful remarks on these foreign websites account for the majority. Even if they are released by international organizations, they cannot completely dispel their doubts, but they will inevitably pay more attention to the news about Yuguo's locust killing than before.

Wait until the first batch of locust killers are put into use.

A series of videos of helicopters spraying new locust killers, mutant locusts killing each other after encountering locust killers, and fields without mutant locusts after a few days have been uploaded to the Internet and appeared in the news.

It can almost be said that on the same day, the video was transferred to the Internet by domestic netizens or foreign netizens who came to Yuguo's network specifically.

The video was verified to be untrue, and the effect of the new locust killer was obvious, and the inner doubts were gradually dispelled to the point of almost nothing.

When the authority on locust research in the country came forward to praise Yuguo's remarks, the residents of the countries still suffering from locust plagues began to ask for help from Yuguo and asked their own governments to negotiate with Yuguo as soon as possible.

Most governments of countries affected by locust plagues have long received positive news from their own locust research experts, but they are more suspicious and have to wait until Yuguo uses it before they are willing to negotiate.

The speed of the government is actually much faster than that of the people who need time to react. Before the people made a request for negotiation, they had already tried to communicate with the government of Yuguo, but they were still a little late.

Among the countries where the locust plague has not yet been resolved, there are countries that have always been friendly with Yuguo. Years of diplomatic relations have given them full trust in Yuguo, and they have taken the initiative to make requests when speaking in international organizations.

After getting the formula of the new locust killer, Youhao quickly transformed its own production factory and started production quickly.

As the second country in the world to get rid of the locust plague, they completed the killing operation before the new batch of larvae grew up, sowed in time, and saved the losses of the new year to the minimum.

The remaining countries later found Yuguo. When Yuguo was willing to provide the formula for free, the whole country was grateful to Yuguo. Even if they almost missed the spraying before the locusts grew up and laid eggs, they all blamed themselves.

The international reputation of Yu State is getting higher and higher, to the point where some countries are openly dissatisfied, but there is no effective method to deal with it for the time being, so they can only suppress it for the time being.

The situation is very good both internationally and domestically.

The land in Jinliao Province has been sprayed three times in succession at scientific intervals. The helicopter's mission is over. The locust killer produced next will be sold in barrels and bottles to various online and offline sales channels.

Even if the other provinces have not suffered from giant locust plagues, those who have found mutant locusts in their local areas are eagerly looking forward to the sale of locust killers.

If these mutant locusts multiply, they will have more than just a few here. Even if the government will send people to spray, if they overlook any corners, they feel that they can only feel at ease if they buy two bottles at home.

Online sales are relatively slow, and local large supermarkets have already notified in advance the day before the incoming vehicles return.

Early in the morning, long queues formed in front of the closed doors of these supermarkets. All of them were old men and women who were very capable in this area. Some of them came here because they couldn't sleep at three or four o'clock, and they also brought a small stool to sit at the door.

The staff of the supermarket was a little nervous when they saw the scene at the door. They checked the road leading to the specially set up sales counter and opened the door of the supermarket on time.

The people queuing at the door were ready when it was not far from the opening time. As soon as the door opened, they rushed in immediately. It didn't matter whether they could use it up at home, anyway, they could share some with relatives and friends.

As a result, I ran to the sales counter and saw that there were restrictions on purchases.

There was no way, so I could only buy as much as I could.

I was going to call my family to buy it, but before the call was connected, I saw that the locust killer on display was sold out. Everyone in the queue today bought it, and it took more than 20 minutes to buy it. There were still more than a dozen people who couldn't buy it.

"It's okay. The locust killer is limited. I wanted you to come over to buy two more bottles, but they're all sold out. You don't have to come." The old man shouted at the top of his voice.

"Mom, I told you that the property management of our community will buy locust killer for spraying, so you don't have to buy it. You still went to line up early in the morning. By the way, did you go out with an umbrella this morning? It's almost the return of the south wind. It looks like it's going to rain outside. It's not convenient for you to come back with a lot of things. I'll drive to pick you up before going to work."

When a mother is worried about her child's nagging, the child may occasionally feel annoyed, but when children care about their parents, parents will not feel annoyed.

The old woman turned up the volume of her mobile phone to the maximum, put it close to her ear, and listened to her daughter's nagging with a smile on her face. She put fresh vegetables and meat into the cart, took out cash at the cashier to pay, and waited for her daughter to come and pick it up.

The daughter came quickly, took the cart as soon as she came, and picked up the things inside. On the way, she couldn't help but say a few more words, and the mother listened carefully with her ears tilted, and returned home briskly.

"It's already this late, Mom, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to be late for work."

"Have you eaten the breakfast I made for you?"

"I have. Don't go out today because it's raining. The road outside is slippery. Just watch TV at home. Today is Friday. I'll drive to pick up An An tonight."

"Drive slowly on the road. Don't get anxious because you're going to be late."

The daughter disappeared outside the door. The mother went into the kitchen and saw that the food was indeed less. She was worried that her daughter would go out without eating breakfast.

Even though she had just left the house, she felt that the house was a little too quiet. The old man walked around, returned to the living room, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and turned up the volume. Even if the TV was playing commercials, it felt that the house was much more lively.

Then he packed up the things he bought in the supermarket today.

Put the fresh vegetables and meat in the refrigerator, put the locust killer in the cabinet specifically for locust killer, and then go to the kitchen to pack up the remaining breakfast.

The busy old man's ears were filled with the sound from the TV. He did not hear the subtle rustling noises in the kitchen, nor did he see the dense black figures flashing under the cabinet.
