Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

In his previous life, Gu Tongwan could not remember whether there was a locust invasion or not, because when the beast tide came, he spent most of his time hiding in the sewers with the Wanderer Organization, and had no way of knowing the situation on the ground.

But this time the locusts came in a fierce force, and they had undergone mutation. They did not grow in size, but were mainly black and yellowish brown in color, with extremely large wings.

One of them fell on a pot of roses that Xiaoli had brought back from the inner circle some time ago, and had not mutated. It was said to be very precious, and it took a lot of connections to get it.

As a result, the locust stayed on the leaf for less than a few seconds, and only a slight "crackling" sound was heard, and the pot of green leafy plants was instantly left with only bare branches.

Dozens of locusts were seen landing on the roof opposite, which happened to be a wooden door, and a horrifying scene occurred.

As more and more locusts covered the board, the wooden board turned into sawdust in just a few minutes.

Xiaoli took a step back unconsciously, and her voice couldn't help but tremble.

"What on earth is this? It looks like a locust, but do locusts eat wood?"

The more Lan Qin looked at it, the more she felt that the wings of that thing looked more like another kind of insect, so she whispered, "It looks like a termite?"

Gu Tongwan saw a small plastic film on the balcony, which was usually used to dry potatoes on the ground. So he pulled it over and quickly covered the black locust on the flowerpot that had not yet flown away.

The locust struggled in the film for a while before being suffocated to death. Gu Tongwan whispered, "Let's go back inside. We can't stay on the balcony any longer."

After the three of them returned to the balcony, Gu Tongwan closed the iron door tightly. He saw that there was a gap of about two centimeters under the iron door, so he said to Lan Qin, "Xiao Lan, go find some clothes that you don't usually use, otherwise those things will crawl out of the gap in a while!"

Xiaoli, who was standing next to him, came to her senses and immediately ran back, shouting, "I'll go. I just happened to have some old clothes in the bathroom. Wait for me for a minute."

Xiaoli's room was on the third floor. She ran back to the bathroom and found a torn piece of clothing thrown in the trash can. Then she discovered that there was a half-finger-sized gap on the window that she had closed in the morning. She could vaguely see some black shadows moving on it. So she bit her lip, tore half of the blue clothes in her hand, blocked the gap directly, and ran out quickly.

At this time, Gu Tongwan and Lan Qin had already trampled to death many mutated locusts under the gap.

Xiaoli rushed forward and skillfully stuffed the rag in her hand directly into the gap, and then tightened it hard, finally blocking the gap completely. She panted and said, "Lanqin, Wanwan, you guys go back to the room quickly. I found a gap in the window, and I almost got in just now."

"My room is fine. Aoao and Tutu are still there. Lan Qin, you should go back and check on them." Gu Tongwan said to Lan Qin.

After Lan Qin ran back, Gu Tongwan opened the film, twisted the little insect with his fingers, and then observed it carefully. The body was indeed the appearance of a locust. In addition to the black color, the shell seemed to be relatively hard, but the pair of wings were large and pointed, more like the wings of a termite.

Could this be a mutation of locusts and termites?

At this time, there was a scream from downstairs, which seemed to be mixed with the boss's wife's angry curses.

Gu Tongwan and Xiaoli exchanged a glance, then ran downstairs one after the other. They saw the proprietress stomping her feet frantically, while Uncle Zhang from the kitchen was shaking and slapping his body constantly, with several mutant locusts crawling on his body.

The bug doesn't seem to have any signs of biting people at the moment, but it will keep crawling around on the skin, which is quite disgusting to look at. If someone with trypophobia sees it, they will probably faint on the spot.

Without waiting for the proprietress to say anything, Xiaoli and Gu Tongwan, one heading towards the kitchen and the other towards the doors and windows, picked up some cloth-looking material nearby and stuffed it into various gaps.

At this time, an employee helping in the kitchen was holding transparent tape in his hand, trying to use it to seal the doors and windows, but Gu Tongwan went over and handed him a rag.

"Transparent tape is too thin to keep out these bugs. Use a rag or other old clothes to stuff it in, and remember to stuff it tightly."

The people had clear division of labor and quickly sealed as many gaps on the first floor as possible that could allow insects to enter.

At this time, Xiaoli asked again: "There won't be any in the toilet, right?"

Gu Tongwan murmured, "This thing is not a cockroach, it should not come out of the sewer, but we can give it an experiment." As he said that, he squatted down and picked up a locust that had lost its wings and could only crawl on the ground. Then he picked up a cleaning plastic bucket next to him, which still had some water in it, and threw the locust directly into it.

Everyone walked over and stared at the locust. They saw that the locust only struggled in the water for a moment, and it took about two or three minutes before it became completely motionless.

Then Gu Tongwan used fire to burn the locusts, and they quickly ignited. After burning, they emitted a disgusting stench, which almost made several people vomit on the spot.

"Damn, what stinks?" Xiaoli had just come out of the kitchen and immediately covered her nose and shouted when she smelled the smell.

It seems that if we want to destroy this thing, we cannot use fire. If we use fire on a large scale, the whole base will be filled with this smell.

At this time, bursts of screams were heard outside. The proprietress paused for a moment before frowning and saying, "It seems to be the voice of the owner of the dessert shop next door?"
