Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

The plan is good, but it cannot keep up with the changes in reality.

Shi Anan was extremely grateful at this moment that she did not leave the orchard yesterday, otherwise the orchard would have been completely destroyed.

Back to this morning, after Shi Anan looked at the land yesterday, she decided to get up early today to arrange the orchard, but before she could move, she seemed to hear a buzzing sound.

She looked up into the distance. Without the obstruction of the trees, she could immediately see a group of black clouds approaching her. Oh no, locusts!

Shi Anan's hair stood on end instantly. Locusts! A bunch of locusts! How come everything she feared came true?

Ahhhhhh, so disgusting!

She ran back at the fastest speed she had ever run, but she didn't forget about everyone. She took out her loudspeaker and shouted, "Be alert! The locust army is coming!"

All the people inside the protective shield, whether they were busy or not, stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky in surprise.

Someone nearby also saw the swarm of locusts flying all over the sky. After being stunned for two seconds, they also ran away, shouting as they ran: "The locusts are coming, harvest the crops, harvest the crops!"

Someone who heard the man shouting replied, "What crops are you harvesting? Haven't we just finished harvesting?"

"No! I haven't harvested mine yet!" The man ran back in a hurry. Because it was hotter this year, their autumn harvest was a little late. However, most families had already finished harvesting, and only a small number of people might be harvesting in the meantime.

Although the autumn harvest was over, facing the swarm of locusts, everyone did not dare to slack off and ran back home to check whether the food was well preserved. As the saying goes, when locusts invade the country, no grass will grow, and this is no joke.

The little food they have at home may not be enough to feed the locust army for a day.

Although Shi Anan was afraid of creatures like insects and snakes, she also knew the harm caused by locusts crossing the border, so she immediately ran to find the village chief.

"Village chief! Have you stored all our food?" Shi Anan asked breathlessly.

The village chief said worriedly, "Everything that can be put into the granary has been stored there, but some things that can't fit in the granary are still piled up outside, and people are being asked to move them out quickly."

"It's too late, they are all piled there, I'll go collect them!" The locusts had already flown to the area where they were building the road, and some of the faster ones had already entered the village. By the time they slowly moved the things, they had already been eaten by the locusts.

"Come with me!" The village chief took Shi Anan and hurried to the place where the grain was piled. The grain had not yet been put into the granary. One reason was that the granary was full and needed to be reorganized, and the other was that the grain had just been collected and needed to be dried again.

Who could have thought that locusts would come at this time? Their place is mountainous and water-rich, and locusts like dry places, so it is rare to see locust plagues in the past.

All I can say is that everything is possible in the end times. It’s so hot this year and it’s not raining yet. The locusts haven’t eaten enough in other places, so they will definitely wreak havoc all the way here.

When they arrived at the grain storage area, Shi Anan didn't care what kind of grain it was. He just moved his mind and put all the grain into the space.

Fortunately, after upgrading during this period of time, her backpack had a lot more slots, and she didn't usually store too many sundries in it. Otherwise, they might not be able to put in so much food.

After doing all this, she began to worry about the situation in Qinghe County. After all, food was in short supply there, and it was only because of the assistance from Guangming Town that she was able to ensure that she would not go hungry.

Shi Anan immediately contacted Li Zimu, Yan Fei and others over there through the team channel.

[Shi Anan: Brother Li, Yan Fei, Mu Shan, Ruyi, what is the situation in Qinghe County? ]

The first person to respond was Yan Fei:

[Yan Fei: Miss Shi, don't worry, we have all heard the notice. There is no sign of locusts in Qinghe County yet, but we have already moved all the food to the granary and cellar.]

Shi Anan finally felt relieved when she learned that Qinghe County had already made preparations.

When the village chief saw An An taking away all the food that had been piled up, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately you are here, young lady, otherwise we might not be able to keep all this food."

Shi Anan was not so optimistic. Although she had never experienced a locust plague personally, she had seen a lot of them on TV before. The huge swarms of locusts were enough to make one's scalp tingle just by looking at them.

"Village chief, although we have harvested most of the food, there is still some food in the fields. It is not easy to store some food now, and we can't let the locusts eat all the food in the fields so easily."

"Gather everyone now and go to the fields together. We will try to protect as much as we can."

After Shi Anan finished speaking, the village chief immediately responded and went out to gather the people who were still in Guangming Town to go to the farmland together.

The locusts flew much faster than they were prepared for. In just a moment, the originally clear sky over Guangming Town was suddenly covered by countless locusts, like a dark cloud.

Even though there had been an advance warning, everyone still looked at the locust swarm that was coming like a tide in horror, their faces turning pale.

The locusts' passage was like a black storm. Wherever they went, the green crops were eaten up in an instant, leaving only a field of withered branches and leaves.

Some families who had not yet finished their harvest became anxious and picked up farm tools, trying to drive away these greedy "invaders", but everything was in vain because there were just too many locusts!

Shi Anan thought of many methods of preventing and controlling locusts that she had seen before, and now she used all the methods she could.

Locusts are afraid of fire and smoke, so she asked people to bring torches and smoke devices to try to drive away the locusts with smoke and fire. She also bought some insect-repellent herbs in the mall and sprayed the potion on the crops.

In addition, the 10,000 ducks won in the previous lottery also helped a lot.

Although when locusts gather in large numbers, they will change from green to brown in order to defend themselves from predators, they will also secrete a toxin that causes predators to repel them.

Chickens and ducks will not eat the locusts at this time, but the eggs they lay are enough for the ducks to have a full meal.

After all, adult insects can be removed, but Shi Anan doesn't want another wave to come after she has just removed one.

Everyone took turns guarding the farmland day and night, not daring to slack off in the slightest. With everyone's concerted efforts, the locusts finally did not cause them too much damage.

Guangming Town was able to deal with the locust plague with ease thanks to reasonable response measures and Shi Anan who used a cheat.

In Anlin Village, not far from Guangming Town, this locust plague was a devastating disaster for them!
