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

Xiang Chi was worried about Xu Ge, so he anxiously opened the car window and looked out, only to find that there were only locusts in front of him.

Worried that the lights would attract more locusts, Xu Tao turned off the car. Without all kinds of light, the car suddenly fell into darkness.

"I don't know how Xu Ge is doing..."

Xiang Chi couldn't help but murmur.

Xu Tao comforted Xiang Chi.

"Don't worry, Xu Ge is so alert, he will be fine. Besides, there are soldiers over there in the tent, and they will definitely protect him."

"Yes, you are right."

Xiang Chi suppressed his anxiety and nodded.

Many people who escaped from the farmland came to ask for help when they saw Xu Tao's car. Xiang Chi and Xu Tao did not relent and rescued someone else. Their car was not a bus and could not hold those people.

What's more, some people are not worth saving, and they chased away a few men who were trying to steal the car. Xu Tao and Xiang Chi leaned on their seats and felt very tired.

For a moment, the car became quiet, and the "swirling" sound of locusts crawling outside the car and the vague shouts of the crowd outside continued to reach the ears of Xiang Chi and Xu Tao.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, Xu Tao seemed to have discovered something. He straightened up and looked ahead.

"Xiang Chi, look!"

Hearing Xu Tao's seriousness, Xiang Chi turned his head and looked in the direction of Xu Tao's finger. I saw that there were a lot less locusts on the windshield, and I could vaguely see the scene ahead.

"What's wrong? There are fewer locusts?"

There were indeed fewer locusts. To be precise, there were fewer locusts surrounding the car. Maybe they thought the paint on the car didn't taste good, so they all turned and flew into the cornfield.

Xu Tao: "No, look carefully at the locusts on the car window. Are they eating the corpses of dead locusts?"

Xiang Chi looked at Xu Tao in shock when he heard this.

"What!? Let me see!"

With that said, Xiang Chi climbed from the back seat to the passenger seat. Holding back his nausea, he carefully looked at the front.

The two people approached the glass and observed carefully through the windshield. They saw that some of the locusts had black abdomens, and some were yellowish brown. They all had their wings folded and crawled around on the glass.

The two people held their breath and stared at each other with nausea. They found that the black locusts would stay for a while when they encountered the locust corpses, and their mouthparts would constantly open and close. In less than two minutes, they could devour all the corpses of the same kind!

Xiang Chi and Xu Tao took a deep breath and looked at each other in horror for a long time without speaking. No wonder the corpses of the locusts crushed by the wipers just now are gone!

Xiang Chi felt unbelievable.

"No wonder...Xu Tao, have you ever remembered that those who asked for help had many blood spots on their hands and faces?"

Xu Tao was already in a daze from the impact of the locust bite. Hearing Xiang Chi's words, he also reacted.

"Yes... yes... yes, I was also surprised why they were covered in blood. I thought they were cut by the leaves when breaking corn..."

Xiang Chi looked at the ferocious black locusts in front of him with anxiety. He clenched his hands tightly and was so anxious that he just wanted to cry.

"The locusts have bitten people like that. What should Xu Ge do? Will he be injured..."

Xiang Chi became more and more anxious as he thought about it, his eyes filled with tears.

"I don't know if these locusts have viruses or anything. No, Xu Tao, let's go! I'm really worried about Xu Ge."

Xu Tao looked at the locusts around the car. There were fewer locusts than before. Although the sight was still not good, there were no people running around, so he could barely try to drive.

Xu Tao started the car, carefully observed the road conditions, and did not forget to comfort Xiang Chi.

"Xiao Chi, don't worry. Xu Ge is wearing long clothes and trousers and a hat, and he is with the military. There will definitely be no problem."

Xiang Chi hummed absentmindedly.

The car had only gone less than ten meters when it was blocked by corn bags, carts and other things on the ground.

The sudden appearance of the locusts caught people off guard. Many people didn't care about it when they ran away. They dropped their carts and ran away, causing a mess in the sacks containing corn.

Xu Tao had to reverse the car and turn around. The density of locusts was still very high and visibility was less than ten meters, so Xu Tao had to be patient and drive slowly.

Xiang Chi took out his telescope and looked around through the gap. The tent in the distance stood quietly, and the curtain that had been opened before was now down and sealed tightly.

Xiang Chi pursed his lips and looked for a while, but he didn't see anyone coming in or out. Then he shifted his attention to the farmland.

The harvesters were still rumbling at work, and not far away there were hundreds of soldiers wearing bee-proof suits working hard to harvest the grain.

After finally driving to the tent, the road was blocked by a mountain of sacks. After two laps without being able to get close to the tent, Xu Tao had no choice but to stop where he was.

Xiang Chi and Xu Tao discussed it and decided to get out of the car and take a look. While the two were wearing protective clothing, a car horn sounded from behind.

After a while, a large truck drove up from behind and parked next to their car. As soon as it stopped, eight or nine soldiers jumped out of the truck, ran to the grain pile, picked up sacks, and carried them to the truck.

A soldier who looked to be in his early twenties saw Xu Tao and Xiang Chi's car and ran towards them.

Xu Tao and Xiang Chi put on protective clothing and got out of the car immediately. Xiang Chi wanted to go into the tent, but happened to meet the soldiers running over.

The soldier originally wanted to dissuade them from going to a safe place, but before he could speak, Xiang Chi couldn't wait to speak.

"Comrade, have you seen a tall and thin man? He is about 1.8 meters tall and is wearing the same protective clothing as me!"

To Xiang Chi's disappointment, the soldier shook his head.

"Sorry, we just came for support and didn't see the person you mentioned."

When Xiang Chi heard that the soldier said he hadn't seen Xu Ge, he ran towards the tent with the locusts on his back to see if Xu Ge was in the tent.

"Hey, hey! Comrade!"

The soldier looked at Xiang Chi and suddenly turned around and ran away. He wanted to reach out to hold her but failed.

Xu Tao caught up from behind. Stop the little soldier.

Xu Tao: "Little comrade, just go about your task! Don't worry, you see we are all ready."

He patted his protective clothing and hat. Then he said to the soldier:

"Thank you, little comrade, for your concern. We will go home when we find the person!"

The soldier saw that Xu Tao and Xiang Chi were more prepared than them, so he turned around and looked at his comrades who were busy transporting food. He nodded at Xu Tao and went to help his comrades transport food.

After Xu Tao finished talking to the soldiers, he chased Xiang Chi and ran towards the tent.

Xiang Chi ran out of the tent panting, fumbled with the tent zipper, and shouted loudly:

"Husband! Are you in there? Xu Ge! Xu Ge!"

I called several times, but there was no response except the buzzing of locusts.

Xu Tao ran over and helped Xiang Chi open the tent.
