Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

Xiang Chi looked at Xu Ge and Xu Tao who were unaware and asked softly.

Xu Tao straightened up and wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeves.

"Huh? What's the sound? Xiao Chi is hallucinating because he's tired. Let's go and have a rest."

After not hearing Xiang Chi's reply for a long time, Xu Ge turned around and saw Xiang Chi frowning and looking at the sky in the distance.

"what happened?"

Following Xiang Chi's line of sight, Xu Ge looked around for a while and saw nothing, feeling a little confused.

Xiang Chi still stared at the sky in the distance and murmured.

"Isn't that right? Are those clouds? It doesn't look like it...it moves a bit strangely..."

It was around two o'clock in the morning, the darkest time of the day. Xiang Chi squinted his eyes and tried to see clearly, but it was too dark and he couldn't see clearly.

He had no choice but to pull Xu Ge and point to a cloud near the distant horizon for Xu Ge to look at.

"Look over there, are those clouds? No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look right."

Xu Ge looked carefully in the direction of Xiang Chi's finger for a while and felt something was wrong.

Looking around, Xu Tao was almost five meters away from them and was busy putting bagged corn into the cart.

Xu Ge whispered in Xiang Chi's ear:

"Bring out a telescope. Fortunately, I brought a backpack. I'll get the backpack."

Xiang Chi turned around and nodded towards Xu Ge. Xu Ge trotted to the field ridge and picked up their backpacks. Xiang Chi took out a small monocular telescope from the space under the cover of the backpack.

Xiang Chi took a telescope and looked at the cloud just now. Within two seconds, he let out a soft cry of disbelief.

She rubbed her eyes, took another look, and suddenly grabbed Xu Ge and put the telescope into Xu Ge's hand.

"Husband, take a look quickly to see if those are locusts!"

When Xu Ge heard this, he raised his telescope. It didn't matter. He put down the telescope and looked at Xiang Chi in astonishment.

It took less than a minute from the time Xu Ge went to get his backpack to the time the two of them finished reading. In just a short moment, the "black cloud" had already drifted over a large distance.

"No, you have to tell the military. Xiao Chi, you and Xu Tao put your things away. Let's meet at the exchange office."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, after Xu Ge finished speaking, he took the binoculars and ran towards the army tent.

As soon as Xu Tao turned around, he saw Xu Ge rushing past him and was shocked.

"What happened? Why did Xu Ge go?"

Xiang Chi took out another telescope from his backpack, threw it towards Xu Tao, and pointed at the sky.

"Look northwest for yourself. Let's leave quickly and I'll pack up."

As Xiang Chi spoke, he didn't stop and stuffed the small folding stool, water bottle, clothes and other random rolls on the ground into his backpack.

Xu Tao looked at the telescope in his hand without knowing why, muttering in his mouth while looking in the direction Chi was pointing.

"Didn't I tell you, you two also put telescopes in your backpack? It's not too heavy... Damn it!"

Xu Tao looked at the "black cloud" and was so shocked that it was hard to say anything.

His eyes widened and he looked at it several times.

"Those are locusts, right? Oh my god, that... there are too many! They can't eat everyone!"

Xiang Chi: "Maybe it's really cannibalism. Let's go quickly. Xu Ge has gone to notify the army. Let's go to the exchange office and wait for him."

Xu Tao picked up his backpack and was about to push the cart that had just loaded a cart of corn.

Seeing this, Xiang Chi quickly grabbed him.

"Don't worry about it, just run!"

After saying this, Xu Tao ran towards the exchange office without waiting. While running, he shouted at the crowd.

"The locust swarms are coming! Everyone, hurry up!"

Xu Tao hurriedly followed Xiang Chi and imitated her in shouting loudly.

Many people heard their shouts and looked around. They saw nothing and were unmoved. Of course, many people looked in the direction pointed by Xiang Chi, felt something was wrong, and began to retreat.

Here Xu Ge ran near the tent, and a soldier spotted him far away. When he ran over, he stopped Xu Ge.

Xu Ge was panting from running.

"Comrade, huh... I have something important to report. Please ask your leader to come out. Oh, you better take a look first!"

As he spoke, he put the telescope into the soldier's hand. Pointing in the direction of the "black cloud".

"Comrade, look over there, there's a wave of insects coming!"

The soldier looked at Xu Ge seriously, and he didn't look like he was joking. He picked up the telescope and took a look at it suspiciously.

It didn't matter. He immediately put down the telescope and said to Xu Ge:

"I'll go and notify our company commander right away. Please wait here for a while!"

Xu Ge: "Okay, go ahead!"

The soldier turned around and quickly rushed into the tent. In just ten seconds, several people ran out of the tent.

The leader turned out to be Wu Qingyun!

Wu Qingyun was shocked when he heard the soldiers' report, because he had not received any relevant notification. According to experts' predictions, the insect wave would not come until tomorrow.

Wu Qingyun ran out of the tent and looked at the figure not far away who was looking at the sky with his back turned. The closer he looked, the more familiar he felt.

Xu Ge was holding a telescope to look at the "black cloud" in the distance. In just a few minutes, it was getting closer to them.

"Xu Ge?"

A familiar voice came from behind. Xu Ge turned around and saw who it was if it wasn't Wu Qingyun.

"Xiao Wu? Are you on duty here? Look! Over there!"

Not caring about reminiscing at this time, Xu Ge handed the binoculars to Wu Qingyun and pointed in the direction of the insect tide for him to look at.

At this time, the people behind him also followed. Xu Ge took a look and saw that it was another old acquaintance.

"President Liao? You are here too."

President Liao is quite old. He has been having trouble eating and sleeping these past few days because of the locusts. He is very tired from running these few steps.

"Ah, Xiao Xu, Huh... Huh... Ouch, why did I hear the report that the insect tide has arrived? Huh... What's going on? Huh..."

President Liao gasped for a while and finally regained his breath.

Wu Qingyun handed the telescope to President Liao, walked to the side and took out the walkie-talkie and started calling.

"Attention harvesters, speed up harvesting! Repeat, speed up harvesting! Please reply when you receive it."

President Liao held up the telescope and took a look, and the extravagant hopes in his heart were completely shattered. he murmured shakily.

"How could this happen? How come it's so far ahead of schedule? There's still so much food that hasn't been finished yet. What should we do?"

Wu Qingyun's team had already been organized, and rows of soldiers were ready to go. With an order, they rushed to the cornfield and began to harvest corn.

At this time, the "buzzing" sound of locust wings inciting the air became more and more obvious, and someone in the farmland finally noticed something was wrong, pointing to the "black cloud" billowing in the distance and shouting loudly.
