Chapter 49: National Insect Hunting
So good people are rewarded. It can be said that Jing Shu has another life-saving trump card. The unexpected surprise that a drop of pure spiritual spring can save people comes at the right time.
" @Everyone, this time I would like to express my special thanks to @Xiaoshu Villa District. Thanks to her for taking a family of three suffering from viral colds to the hospital at two o'clock in the middle of the night. The child is now out of danger, and the adults are fine too. , because there are too many people in the hospital, we have completed the discharge procedures and have returned to the community. We remind everyone to take protective measures, as the hospital does not have enough medicine now."
On the third day, the couple and their children came to thank Jingshu, and they also brought a box of dried purple potatoes and dried sweet potatoes as a thank you gift. This is life-saving food after the apocalypse.
The couple opened a small dried sweet potato shop in the city. Recently, they have been unable to sell and the supply of raw materials has stopped, so they have temporarily closed their doors. There are still a lot of dried sweet potatoes they made before at home. If you give money to Jingshu, don’t just take her own specialties. As a thank you gift.
Jingshu was very satisfied and ate a lot with Xiaotuanzi, the couple's son. Xiaotuanzi's appetite increased greatly after drinking Lingquan. Fortunately, he ate a lot more and there was nothing unusual so far.
It tastes sweet and chewy, which is also a good food in the apocalypse. Jingshu decided to make some dried sweet potatoes herself in the future.
As expected, Jing’s mother scolded Jing Shu again that day. After all, Jing’s father was rescued. How dangerous it is to be alone. “I’m scared when I think about it. Wang Hong, one of the female colleagues who came together to sell the house that day, got pregnant in the middle of the night. She got sick, and when she found out that she was queuing up at the hospital, she wouldn’t be able to survive, and she died today. Hey, she still had to pay 500 yuan in mourning, plus she still owed me 800 yuan that she hadn’t paid back.”
Jing Shu: "..." The focus seems to be different?
As people around them continue to die and the dark days never end, the people are becoming more and more panicked. The country has not distributed vaccines for a long time, but first announced a national mission. .
"In 1117, Australia injected 'Wolbachia' bacteria into venomous mosquitoes, causing male 'sterility', and released 20 million 'sterile' venomous mosquitoes to harm normal mosquitoes and spread Wolbachia bacteria. , this will cause more and more mosquitoes to contain this bacteria and thus prevent the next generation of poisonous mosquitoes from spreading, so sterilization has an excellent effect in exterminating poisonous mosquitoes."
"This method is equally effective on black fungus beetles."
"However, this method has regional disadvantages, so it needs to be implemented by local governments. The bacteria have been distributed to all urban and rural governments. Each locality needs to capture a certain amount of black fungus beetles locally and inject the bacteria to release them. The insects will be sterilized so that they cannot reproduce. One generation, and when this generation of black fungus beetles dies, they become extinct.”
Just like in the previous life, the state began to find things for the people to do in order to drive away the panic in the people's hearts and improve the people's collective sense of honor.
There is a saying: When you are full and have nothing to do, you like to think blindly. This sentence has philosophical truth. If a person is so busy that he falls asleep and has no time to think, he will not think about other things. Leaders are very good at understanding the people's thoughts by putting themselves in their shoes.
Every day when the water tanker in Wucheng delivers water, it will follow the insect collection truck. It also distributes hoods, sacks, nets and other tools. A sack of black fungus beetles can be replaced with an extra bucket of water, which has inspired everyone. Positivity.
The possibility of letting people risk their lives to fish for free is too small. This must be based on cooperation between both parties.
In addition, many families now have to use toilet paper to wipe the bowls even though they haven't finished eating. Water is just enough for drinking and cooking, so everyone is happy to have extra water.
After the temperature dropped that day, people from the Jingshu Community formed a group. Every household put on hoods, thick socks and rain boots, applied toilet water, and went out to catch insects with gloves and full body wraps.
"Each of us has to pay at least ten sacks of live insects. Other public institutions also have to pay five sacks." Jing's mother said worriedly while eating an apple.
When the black fungus beetles first came out, Jing's father sent a batch of toilet water, mineral water and vegetables to Jing Nai, so he was very leisurely at the moment and said easily: "Then I will catch it for you at the gate of the community. .”
"How long will it take to catch them? I can't catch a sack in a day."
At this time, Jingshu took out a sun-proof light stick and said, "Use this."
Dad Jing always thinks that her daughter is the reincarnation of Doraemon.
While the neighbors in the community were fishing together with nets, catching flying insects one by one by the only lit streetlight at the gate, Jingshu and Jing’s father arrived in front of their villa fully armed and took several The light stick turned on the strong light and placed it on the ground. After a while, many flying insects flew down and buzzed non-stop.
Jingshu put a sack in it, then pulled out the light stick covered with insects, and then she could put a third of it inside.
Jing’s father followed suit, and in less than half an hour the two of them filled ten sacks and completed the task. During this period, Jing’s father shivered when he saw the densely packed big black bugs, and her daughter immediately started to do it. Sometimes The missing flying insect girl would just grab it and throw it into the air.
A giant chicken that my daughter recently picked up will fly up and catch it, and then she will praise it. It looks like training the chicken like a dog. The key is that the chicken is still doing well. Dad Jing doesn’t know Is there something wrong with the world or something is wrong with him?
"Let's give this to the neighbors in the community." Jing's father said, using a net to catch up to three or four, which will last a long time in a sack.
"They finally have some evening entertainment, dad, please don't spoil it." Jingshu waved to No. 1, who had just crossed Ming Road in the past two days: "No. 1, let's go."
Number 1 reluctantly pulled out of the pile of insects with a big butt and returned to Jingshu. This thing is simply a bottomless pit. After resuming the intake of spiritual spring, he can continue to eat no matter how much he eats. Bugs become a delicious meal for it, and it can never get enough because it poops while eating.
The nationwide insect hunting campaign was very successful in arousing everyone's enthusiasm. Every household had more or less buckets of water. Within three days, the Wucheng government announced that all the bugs had been injected with bacteria and released.
If we wait for more than ten days for this batch of black fungus beetles to die out, this pest disaster will be completely over, so the citizens can rest assured.
The apocalypse came in the blink of an eye for 50 days, and the number of black fungus beetles was also decreasing sharply. When the domestic situation was getting better, Jing’s father received a call from Jing Nai crying:
"Come and take a look. Jinglai and Youai are infected by black fungus beetles and have viral colds! Now the nearby hospitals are refusing to accept them because they have no medicine. What should we do?"
