Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

After finishing his work, Ye Fu went to Police Officer Song and conveyed Fang Ming's words to him.

Officer Song was also speechless for a while, but he had no intention of pursuing this matter.

-

It hadn't rained for a month, and the safety zone suddenly fell into the predicament of water shortage. Ye Fu looked at the dark sky, and didn't know what kind of demon God was going to do.

The chickens in the shed kept crowing, making people upset. Ye Fu saw someone walking towards the villa where the three of Wan Tao lived, and probably asked for help.

Fortunately, Wan Tao is a person with a long-term vision. Every time it rains, he will ask everyone to stockpile a lot of rainwater. The filtered water can be stored for a long time, just put it in an earth tank.

Half a year ago, a small cave dwelling was built in the safe area, and some earth vats were burned to store filtered rainwater.

Ye Fu was playing backgammon with Jiang Rong, Lin Siran called her outside, and after going out, she saw her standing in the thick fog with An An on her back.

An An was one year and two months old, and he could already speak a few words. Ye Fu pinched his little face.

"Ye Fu, I just found a lot of yellow ants in the vegetable field."

"Yellow ants?"

"Yeah, right at the root, biting off the root of the vegetable."

"I'll go take a look with you."

When the two came to Lin Siran's house, Ye Fu saw a lot of pulled vegetables at the door. The roots of the vegetables were bitten into hollows, the leaves of the vegetables were already withered and yellow, and there were many yellow ants crawling around on the ground.

"Did it just come out today?"

"I don't know either. I haven't dealt with the vegetable field for the past two days. I just came to break the corn and found that the root of the corn stalk was also bitten and hollow."

"This should be able to disinfect. I'll go back and make some potion for you. You can spray it."

"Okay, please excuse me."

On the way back, Ye Fu also saw a lot of dense black ants. They seemed to be moving, they lined up from a hole, and all burrowed into the cracks in the wall of the villa.

However, this situation is not accidental, Ye Fu found four or five teams of moving ants on the [-]-meter road.

It stands to reason that when ants move, it will rain.

After returning home, Ye Fu inspected his own vegetable field, and sure enough, he also found more than ten colonies of yellow ants.

Ye Fu pulled out all the medicinal materials and vegetables in the vegetable field, and quickly took out the insecticide to kill them, but after spraying half a bottle, the yellow ants did not respond at all, so Ye Fu hurried back upstairs to take out some medicinal materials, and started to make insecticides Insect meal.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Rong came out of the room when he heard the movement, and was a little puzzled when he saw Ye Fu picking out the medicinal materials.

"There are a lot of ant colonies in the vegetable field. I tried it with insecticide, but I couldn't kill it. I had to make poisonous powder myself. Also, there are many black ants moving on the road outside."

Jiang Rong went downstairs to shovel a pile of soil, stared at the yellow ants in the soil for a few seconds, and then went out again.

"It might rain heavily."

Ye Fu sighed, "I also have this guess. Although there is a lack of water, if there is a heavy rain, many precarious houses may collapse after being washed away by the flood."

Jiang Rong was obviously not on the same channel as her, "We have to quickly kill the chickens in the shed, then gather up the soil on the first floor and lay some stones or planks on it, otherwise the first floor will be very muddy if water gets in."

Ye Fu nodded, "Okay, but I have to get the poisonous powder out first, and give some to Lin Siran and the others, so as not to kill this thing, if it reproduces on a large scale, it might turn the entire safe zone into an ant colony."

Ye Fu already had trypophobia, and when he thought of that scene, the hairs on his arms were about to stand on end.

Ye Fu made a large bucket of poisonous powder, put on a mask and gloves, and began to disinfect in the vegetable field. The poisonous powder was powerful enough, and just a few minutes after it was sprinkled, all the yellow ants crawling in the soil died.

Ye Fu kept part of it at home, and the rest was given to everyone.

After they were divided among Lin Siran, Qi Yuan, and Officer Song, Ye Fu brought the rest to Wan Tao and the others, and told about the appearance of the yellow ants and the moving of the black ants.

"Jiang Rong and I think it's going to rain heavily. After you spray the medicine, you may have to remind everyone to make early plans."

Wan Tao didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly went to check the vegetable field. Sure enough, as Ye Fu said, the field was full of yellow ants, because this kind of yellow ants were very small, only two millimeters in size, and it was hard to find without looking carefully. The bitten off vegetable root looked very ugly.

"Liu Zhang, you divide the rest among the poisonous fans, Lao Huang, you go and inform everyone, and let everyone be prepared, there may be a heavy rain."

Ye Fu left after notifying them, returned home, started to clean up the soil on the first floor, and then moved some stones from outside to fill it up.

The chickens in the shed had been killed by Jiang Rong, and the two of them worked all night to clean them up. Ye Fu soaked the chicken feathers in water, and then took them to the balcony to dry them.

Others save water, do not soak in the wash, leave the fluff after drying, and stuff it into the interlayer of the clothes to keep warm.

The survivors in the safety zone got the news that there might be a rainstorm, and felt that the sky was about to collapse. All disasters started with a rainstorm. No one wanted to recall those days.

Let me tell you now that there may be another torrential rain, and those who can't stand the blow will collapse and cry.

Wan Tao personally inspected the houses where everyone lived. Some houses may collapse and need to be moved in advance.

Qi Yuan and police officer Song went to dig up several more trucks of coal, Wan Tao said that the poisonous powder was not enough, Ye Fu made another half a barrel.

And there are more and more black ant colonies outside. On the walls, in the cracks, and in the pits left by the acid rain corrosion, they are densely packed and everywhere.

Officer Song and the others followed Ye Fu and Jiang Rong's example and filled up the vegetable field, but no one was willing to kill all the chickens that had been brought up with great difficulty.

"Ah."

As soon as Ye Fu went out with the medicine box, he was choked by the dense fog and sneezing all the time. He touched his face, and in addition to the mist, he could also touch a lot of dust.

One could vaguely hear complaints and abuse coming from not far away. Since the natural disaster, this kind of complaint and abuse has never stopped.

After finally living a stable life for a few days, being able to eat enough and have a place to sleep, another disaster happened at this time. For everyone, it was not only physical torture, but also mental devastation.

Day and night, I was in fear, afraid that there would be a sudden accident in the next second.

Ye Fu covered his mouth and coughed a few times suppressedly, the little girl leading the way looked back at her, eyes full of apology.

"Doctor Ye, I have caused you trouble."

Ye Fu shook her head, even though she was wearing a mask, she still didn't dare to speak, as soon as she spoke, she felt a thick fog pouring into her mouth.

When he came to the shopping mall, Ye Fu saw the patients who needed treatment this time. They had escaped from Liangjiang County before, and now they were all crowded on the third floor of the shopping mall.
