Xiang Chi anxiously bent down and got in before the zipper was fully opened. As a result, the tent was completely dark, with only a glimmer of light coming from the door when she and Xu Tao entered.

Through the dim light from the door, the furnishings in the tent were clearly visible. There were only a few tables and chairs, and there were many locusts flying around inside.

If Xiang Chi looked carefully, he would find that the tables and chairs had been gnawed by locusts.

Not finding Xu Ge in the tent, Xiang Chi gasped, pushed Xu Tao away, and rushed outside again. He looked around blankly, not knowing what to do.

In the distance, black and yellow locusts enveloped the earth like clouds. Looking around, no one could be seen except the group of soldiers and Xu Tao just now.

Xiang Chi's heartbeat was pounding. He rationally told himself that these were just locusts, and Xu Ge would be fine wearing protective clothing, but emotionally he still couldn't help but worry.

The two people standing outside were covered with locusts. Xu Tao pulled Xiang Chi back to the car. As soon as they got into the car, the two of them were overcome by the stench.

They had not noticed it before, but now they discovered that there was a thick layer of mucus on the outside of the protective clothing, and the smell came from this mucus.

The two of them were in a hurry when they got into the car. They didn't think of this, and as a result, there were traces of scratches on the car seat. A sour smell that seemed to have fermented went straight to my forehead.

Xiang Chi almost vomited again. Xiang Chi quickly took out the wet wipes, threw another pack to Xu Tao, and began to wipe away the mucus that he didn't know how to get on.

Xiang Chi: "What the hell is this? Ugh... the smell is so disgusting."

Xu Tao's face turned green from being smoked. He put the used tissues into a garbage bag and said to Xiang Chi.

"I advise you that it's best if you don't know what this is..."

Xiang Chi took out a small bottle of disinfectant alcohol and sprayed it twice. After hearing Xu Tao's words, he looked at him with some confusion.

"Huh? What is this..."

Xu Tao looked at Xiang Chi and kept looking at him. He obviously wanted to know what this was. After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.

"Locusts are eaten and pooped at the same time..."

After Xiang Chi heard this, he still didn't react.

"What?! Eating and defecating at the same time? Then...you mean, these are...locust poop???"

Xiang Chi exclaimed, looked up and saw Xu Tao nodded, and was stunned. Then he looked down at the mucus that he had accidentally rubbed on his hand, grinning like a mask of pain.

The two endured their nausea and finally packed up their protective clothing. The smell has finally dissipated. Xiang Chi took out the telescope again and started looking around, hoping to find traces of Xu Ge.

The military truck just now was full, and except for the young soldier, all the other soldiers followed the truck. Apparently, the soldier was left to look after the food.

Xu Tao looked thoughtfully at the piles of sacks outside. He put his elbow on the steering wheel, rubbed his chin with the fingers of his left hand, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Xiao Chi, you see there are so many packed corns here. They must have been put here by the military after harvesting them. Let's just wait here. We will definitely be able to wait for the team to deliver the corns. Maybe there will be Xu Ge by then. news."

Xiang Chi suppressed the impatience in his heart and felt that what Xu Tao said made sense.

Facts have proved that what Xu Tao said was indeed correct. The two of them stayed in the car for a while. There was the sound of cars driving past the farmland.

I saw several cars driving from the direction of the farmland and parked more than ten meters away from Xiang Chi's car.

As soon as the car stopped, several people jumped out, apparently to remove all the food from the car.

Far away, Xiang Chi carefully identified the figures of those people, but found that there was no Xu Ge among them.

Xiang Chi looked several times but didn't see Xu Ge, so he was a little anxious.

"Xu Tao, do you see Xu Ge over there? Why haven't I looked at him yet?"

Xu Tao was also stretching his neck to look over there, but he really didn't find Xu Ge.

"That shouldn't be the case. Where did this guy Xu Ge go?"

The two people were all focused on the west, looking in the direction of driving to the west. They didn't notice that a car was also driving towards the right rear.

The words haven't finished yet,

"Tuk...tuk..."

Their car windows were knocked on.

When the two of them turned around, they saw someone outside the car window bending down to look at them. It was Xu Ge who they had been looking for for a long time but could not find.

"husband!"

Before Xu Tao could react, Xiang Chi screamed, quickly opened the car door and rushed out.

Xiang Chi threw himself into Xu Ge's arms as soon as he got off the car.

"Husband! Where have you gone? I can't find you... Wu... You don't know how anxious I am! Wu... Wu..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiang Chi's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Holding Xiang Chi's shoulders, Xu Ge comforted her.

"Stop crying, I'm doing well. How are you? Nothing happened to you two, Xu Tao?"

With that said, he hugged Xiang Chi and walked towards the tent, and turned back to greet Xu Tao.

Seeing this, Xu Tao quickly got out of the car and followed Xu Ge and Xiang Chi back to the tent.

As soon as Xu Tao came in, before Xu Tao could say anything, another person came in behind him. As soon as the person came in, he pulled down the hood of the protective suit.

Xu Tao was stunned when he saw this man.

"Xiao Wu?"

The person who came in was Wu Qingyun.

Later, Xiang Chi and Xu Tao listened to Xu Ge's account and understood what was going on.

……

Xu Ge came to inform the military about the arrival of the insect wave, only to find that Wu Qingyun was leading the team on the mission.

Xu Ge originally planned to wait for Xiang Chi and Xu Tao to come over at the tent. As a result, after waiting for a long time, Xiang Chi and the others were still nowhere to be seen, and Xu Ge became a little worried.

After the locusts were completely suppressed, those who ran out of the farmland saw soldiers here, and many came to the tents to seek help from the military.

Because most of the soldiers had been sent out to collect, and the support Wu Qingyun applied for had not yet arrived, there was a serious shortage of manpower. Xu Ge volunteered to help Wu Qingyun comfort the injured people.

At this time, someone in the crowd was heard saying that someone near the exchange office had been robbed of his car and was injured.

Xu Ge was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly went over to ask.

The person who was discussing this matter just now was an aunt in her fifties. She glanced at him in a panic on the way to escape.

I saw a group of three or four people smashing open a car, and there happened to be a man and a woman in the car. There was a dispute between the two parties. After the three or four people beat the man and the woman, they stole the car and ran away.

When Xu Ge heard this, he was afraid that the man and woman were Xu Tao and Xiang Chi. He also asked the aunt about the height and appearance of the man and woman.

The aunt just glanced at it on the way to escape. She still remembered so much, so she couldn't say anything.
