Chapter 67 67. Crazy Invasive Species (10)

The disaster-stricken area this time is a recently built botanical park with a vast area and complete infrastructure and entertainment facilities. It has rich flowers, plants and trees, a wide variety of vegetation, and beautiful scenery. The local urban development department and developers originally planned to turn it into a park. Build new urban landmarks and tourist attractions.

Due to the good publicity, the park attracted a large number of citizens and foreign tourists in the early days of its opening, who came here to visit, take photos and check in. Indeed, as the planners expected, it brought a lot of attention and traffic.

However, the good times did not last long. Less than three months after the opening, there were frequent reports of park visitors being injured and hospitalized. This attracted a lot of attention in the news media and on the Internet. The families of the injured and hospitalized also asked the relevant responsible persons of the relevant departments to provide medical advice. Speak up and give compensation.

The relevant responsible departments had to suspend the opening of the park, begin inspection and rectification of the internal environment of the park, and promised to provide reasonable compensation to injured tourists once the situation is verified.

However, you don’t know if you don’t check. After a thorough inspection, it was found that there are indeed major problems - there are many traces of red fire ants on the park grass, in the green belts, and even in the woods, especially the former, almost the entire area. The grass is full of red fire ant colonies.

The grassland is almost full of small soil bags that have just risen from the surface. The soil particles on the surface are finely divided and uniform, indicating that they are newly built ant nests. The shape is not obvious, so they have not been discovered by the park's greening managers.

After careful inspection, it was found that there were a large number of ant nests, and an unknown number of female winged breeding ants completed the important event of ant production at high altitude and flew to other places to build nests and produce offspring. In this way, the red imported imported fire ant population continues to expand outward. Expansion is very tricky to deal with.

"Wow, this place is really nice! The scenery is so beautiful." The players couldn't help but marveled when they saw the mission destination.

Located south of the river, the climate here is warm and humid, with mostly evergreen broad-leaved forests, mixed with deciduous broad-leaved forests, with rich forest vegetation types and rich biodiversity.

The trees, flowers, and turf in the park here are basically purchased from the surrounding areas. They are full of different shades of green, colorful, and equally vibrant. It is indeed a pleasant botanical park.

However, after repeated inspections, it was discovered that the problem lay in the purchased flowers, trees, and green turf.

It was the undetected red fire ants carried in the soil that were moved here due to human activities. They have never been discovered and have no other natural enemies. They quickly adapted to the new environment and began to reproduce rapidly. expansion.

Their existence was not discovered until the wounding incident occurred and the park was closed for investigation.

"This is a big project." Looking at the newly built fire ant nests scattered on the grass and in the woods, the players couldn't help but feel numb.

This is different from the previous situation where the anthills were tall and mature, and the ants were concentrated, and they could concentrate their efforts to defeat them one by one. Now the ant colonies are more scattered, and each has its own territory.Although it seems easier and less labor-intensive to "keep one nest at the end" of such an ant nest with few ant colonies, it is easy to step on other ant nests, causing the fire ants in them to attack.

"Hi, hello!" While the players were thinking about a more secure strategy, three strangers carrying backpacks approached and took the initiative to say hello to everyone.

"Hello, what is this?" Dong Mingzhe was confused in his heart. The garden has been closed, why are there other people coming in?He doesn't look like a gardener or park manager.

"Ah, we are here to take pictures. The scenery here is beautiful and we like it very much." A young man in red wearing a peaked cap shook the camera in his hand, "Are you doing the same?"

"We are not, but isn't this place closed and temporarily open? You can still come in?"

Lao Tian looked at the heavy backpacks on their backs, looking more like they were carrying equipment for a picnic.

"Hey, you didn't sneak in here. The scenery here is so beautiful, and there are few people, so you can take pictures." After blinking at Lao Tian, ​​the three teenagers turned around and prepared to continue walking inside.

"Wait a minute," Lao Tian stopped them at Song Yuanze's instruction, "Do you know why this place was closed? Are you not afraid?"

"Hey, brother, I'm not afraid to tell you. We are just here to explore. What are we afraid of? We just got bitten by bugs. There are no bugs anywhere. Don't worry, we brought deworming medicine."

Sure enough, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers and come here for excitement.However, as he said, the injured tourist was stung by fire ants.

"Have you ever heard of fire ants? It is now clear from the investigation that those tourists who were sent to the hospital for treatment were bitten by fire ants. Serious cases can lead to anaphylactic shock or even death. Are you sure you want to go in?"

Lao Tian really wanted to give these ignorant young men in front of him a severe beating from society.

Really disobedient.

"Then what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid?"

The young man had the same look on his face. Why should we say that?

Lao Tian was just about to continue his education when he heard the boss calling him, so he waved his hand and told the young man to leave here quickly.

"It's not safe here now, please be obedient and get out quickly."

Saying that, he quickly ran towards his boss.

"what happened?"

Song Yuanze spoke.

"Boss, these three little guys are here for excitement. They come here even though they know there is a problem. They are very courageous." Lao Tian pinched his itchy fist.

If that was his younger brother, he would definitely not be polite to let them feel the love from his brother.

There is no consciousness of staying away from danger at all.

"Pay more attention. Since they are interested in this place, they will chase them away once and there will be another time. There is no way to stop them. We should solve the target earlier."

After speaking, Song Yuanze walked towards the temporary player meeting group and continued the meeting.

"According to the information just obtained, the area covered by red imported fire ants in this park is very large, accounting for more than half of it. In addition, the infrastructure and exhibition halls in the center of the park are basically not invaded. But let's not forget that red imported imported fire ants will To destroy underground communications, electricity, etc., we have to act quickly and try to eliminate them before they cause more damage."

Dong Mingzhe looked at the group representatives. "Should we start with the severely affected grassland or clean up scattered areas around it first? Do you have any good ideas?"

"I think we should clean up the grass first. Ant nests are concentrated here. Once we get rid of these big heads, the rest will be a piece of cake."

Yang Qing expressed her position, and then continued: "The question is how we should cooperate to avoid other ant nests without stepping on them, and without affecting the progress of the mission."

It’s not that we haven’t thought of other methods, such as medication, fire attacks, and technical prevention and control.

However, these methods are effective, but they also have drawbacks. Even if the dosage of pesticides is controlled, it will affect the survival of local ants to a certain extent. Fire attack is the last resort. After all, fire can kill ants, burn down a park, and destroy a piece of woodland. The price is too high.Technical prevention and control are too slow to bear fruit for the current situation.

Tang Qinqin walked around boredly with Obsidian.

She was also invited to a temporary meeting of players, but she refused.

"Little Shitou, do you have any way to catch them all?"

"How about we just bite the bullet and hope for the best?"

While thinking wildly, I walked towards the bridge in the middle of the lake in the park.

From here, you can see other players not far away when you turn around, and you are not afraid of being left behind.

"What a beautiful fish." Tang Qinqin praised.

In the lake under the bridge, many red, yellow, white or two-color koi were swimming and flapping, which was very lively.

"Crack." There was an unusual sound, and Tang Qinqin turned around alertly.

"Ah, I'm sorry, little sister, I took a photo of you without your consent. It was so beautiful just now, I couldn't help it..."

One of the three teenagers he had just met, a boy wearing a white T-shirt and glasses, was caught red-faced by Tang Qinqin.

It was rare to see such a cute and shy young man. Tang Qinqin felt soft-hearted and did not mind the offense just now. He only took two steps forward and asked him: "Can I have a look?"

"Well, here..."

Tang Qinqin took it.

I have to say that the angle and timing of this photo were both good. What happened to be captured was the way she just leaned over to look at the koi fish in the lake and was slightly amazed. In the lens, Tang Qinqin has long hair slightly flowing, and her profile is soft and graceful. The atmosphere is very peaceful and gentle.

"Okay, it's a good shot." Tang Qinqin handed the camera back to him after reading the photo.

Tang Qinqin: o(≧v≦)o looks good.satisfy.

"Ah, little sister, may I ask, is this your pet?"

　It's so hot.

　　The sweat is almost flowing into a river.

　　Tomorrow is a new week, I wish you all good luck and happiness!

　　I would like to express my gratitude to the little cuties who have always encouraged and supported me.

　　(ˊωˋ*) I’m glad to have you~
