The Scavengers

The employment relationship between Xue Lihong and Xiao Mo was thus established.

Xiao Mo decided to straighten out his attitude towards the youth, he could no longer put the image of the child on him, since the other party was an adult, then he should get along with him in the same way as an adult.

Xue Lihong was in charge of the preparations, and Xiao Mo found some tools and necessities.

After deciding on the route on the map, Xiao Mo greeted his family and said he was going out to do some business.

The Xiao family members were busy with their own affairs, and they didn't ask him what he was doing, only Deng Anjie asked him to come back for dinner at night.

Xiao Mo seldom refused to Deng Anjie's proposals, and agreed on the spot, saying that he would definitely come back for dinner.

Xue Lihong looked at Xiao Mo, and then at Deng Anjie, who was beautiful and dignified, with a strange smile on her lips.

Xiao Mo didn't notice the young man's expression, he was standing on the balcony observing the road conditions.

From upstairs, the road conditions are not completely smooth, the motorcycle is running out of gas, and the battery of the electric car can't last too long. It seems that the only way to complete the task is to ride a bicycle. I hope there will be time.

A women's bicycle, a petite folding bike.

When Xiao Mo rolled out the car from the carport behind the shop, he was still worried that the youth would dislike him.

Unexpectedly, the tall young man just looked at it casually, took the folding bike, put the cushion on the highest, and stepped on it with one foot.

"The target locations are relatively scattered. The 24 gold-eating females are in different places. We may have to run for a day, and we may not be able to come back for dinner at night."

"Oh." Xiao Mo didn't think much about it.

Xue Lihong glanced at him, "There is also our mission target in the No. [-] Hospital of the city, so we can drop by to see if there is a useful body scanner in that hospital."

"It would be great if the task was released earlier, and we don't have to make another trip." Xiao Mo was very dissatisfied with the system, "I don't know how big that gold-eating bug is? I don't know if we go in to catch bugs, will they let us?"

"Go and observe first, recycle if you can, and don't think of another way."

Xiao Mo thinks that although the adult version of Xue Lihong is not too cute, she is very reliable in her work.

The two were just about to ride away.

"Old Xiao." Xue Lihong suddenly squeezed the brake and stepped on the ground, "Look ahead."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xiao Mo looked in the direction of the young man's finger, and when he looked up, he saw a large, dense group of cockroaches crouching on the side wall of the diagonally opposite building.

Such a large and dense swarm of cockroaches made Xiao Mo immediately have goosebumps all over his body.

"Ah!" Other residents in the community also noticed this situation. Some people screamed in fright on the spot, and some ran away.

Someone heard the cry and didn't dodge it, thinking that there was something exciting to watch, but walked this way instead.

Xue Lihong casually grabbed a cockroach that was flying over, and looked it over and over.

Xiao Mo didn't notice what the young man was doing behind him. When he saw the community security guards appearing, he immediately shouted to them: "Don't hit them with something right away, lest they fly everywhere. Go get a large insect zapper, you'd better ask The exterminators are here."

Without Xiao Mo's warning, the community security guards saw the dense swarm of cockroaches, none of them dared to rush up, but they all took a few steps back.

"Hurry up and broadcast, let all the residents in the community close their windows and doors, and try to block up all the gaps." Xiao Mo quickly called home after reminding the community security.

As a result, as soon as the phone call was over, he turned around and saw the young man grasping the cockroach and researching it?

Xiao Mo grabbed the handlebar with black lines on his face, "What's so good about that thing? You don't think it's dirty."

Xue Lihong didn't know what she saw from the cockroach, seeing Xiao Mo's disgust, she squeezed the cockroach to death with two fingers.

This man actually crushed the cockroach to death with his bare hands? !Xiao Mo's eyes widened.

Xue Lihong threw the dead cockroaches with white pulp on the ground casually, patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder, pointed at the cockroaches and said, "Do you think they are crawling into the wall?"

"...Don't rub your paw on me."

"Next time I will step on it with my feet." Xue Lihong comforted him not very sincerely after wiping her dirty paws on the man's body.

Xiao Mo, "..."

"What the hell is going on here? Where are there so many cockroaches?" Residents and security guards in the community screamed.

"Look over there!" A middle-aged man pointed to another building and shouted palely.

"And that building too." A security guard also looked at the other building and shouted.

As far as they could see, the side walls of three buildings were already covered with dense swarms of cockroaches.

"Ahh! Cockroaches! My God! Where are there so many cockroaches?" Residents walking on the road jumped up.

Team after team of cockroaches crawled across the road.

"Oops! The cockroach is flying! Run!"

I don't know who yelled, but as soon as the voice fell, a large number of cockroaches flew into the air, and rushed towards the steel light poles, buildings, and even people.

"Don't care about these cockroaches, let's go!" Xue Lihong stepped on the pedals and ran, Xiao Mo followed closely behind.

Along the way, even the bicycle is not very smooth.

The city moved quickly, but last night's change was too big and too sudden. Although the city government dispatched a large number of military and police forces to rectify the city after the disaster, leftover problems are everywhere.

But when everyone was so busy everywhere, there were large swarms of cockroaches, and even some swarms of rats were seen running around on the ground and in the shadows. The action got even worse.

After discussing, the two decided to complete the task objectives within the second ring road of the city first, and then proceed outside the city.

You can use bicycles to run down the city, but it is extremely inconvenient without cars outside the city.They can only hope that the city government can clear up the main road outside the city as soon as possible.

According to the distance of the road, the first target they selected was in a street park not far from Tongtian Street.

The park has a new exhibition of metal art sculptures, and the small square is full of metal sculptures with weird shapes, unrestrained or obscene postures.

When Xiao Mo and the two arrived, they saw many people busy in the park.

Some soldiers were stacking some obstacles that blocked the roads in the open space of the park, and the police were running back and forth on bicycles. Some ordinary people were helping, and some came to ask for help, but few helped and many asked for help.

This park covers a wide area and is located right in the center of the city. For the convenience of scheduling, a temporary command center was stationed at the east corner of the park, where military police and municipal workers came in and out.In the west corner of the park, a temporary emergency station was set up, and some people with minor injuries lined up here to wait for treatment.

"Ding, the target is approaching, 32 meters, 30 meters..."

Xiao Mo stopped his bicycle.

"There are too many people here." Xiao Mo turned his head and whispered to the young man.

Xue Lihong put one foot on the ground, glanced around, and frowned slightly.

"I don't know how powerful that gold-eating bug is. If it is on the same level as the mother of gluttonous beasts, we will be in trouble."

The young man asked calmly, "How far is it?"

"It's near here." According to the map in his mind, Xiao Mo raised his finger to a metal sculpture in the center of the park. It looked like a female sculpture with distorted waist and exaggerated breasts and buttocks.

"I'll go and have a look first." Looking at her employer, Xue Lihong took the initiative to take the danger over.

Xiao Mo was about to say go together.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" A group of people rushed towards them.

Xiao Mo hurriedly moved out of the way, separating the two sides from the young man at once.

The group of people cut through them and ran directly to the makeshift emergency station.

Xiao Mo looked away and saw that there was a simple stretcher among the group of people, and a young soldier was lying on the stretcher. The soldier's injuries were not seen, but blood spots were left all over where they ran.

A soldier ran out of the command tent, and the soldier held up a loudspeaker and shouted: "Team three, team four, follow me to support!"

A dozen soldiers who were scattered around to help immediately gathered together.

"What's going on here? Why are you injured so badly?" A military doctor in a military uniform and a white coat also ran over from the ambulance.

"I don't know. The communication was cut off suddenly just now. We couldn't get in touch there. In the end, we only heard them shouting for support. I don't know if there is anyone here who can repair communication equipment. Alas, the more things happen, the more things happen!"

After a few short conversations, the young soldier with the lieutenant on his epaulettes ran out of the park in the middle of the street with two teams.

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong looked at each other.

Xuelihong stepped on the ground and rode directly into the center of the park.

Xiao Mo hesitated to keep up, he can repair communication equipment, although he has never repaired military equipment, but the basic structure should be similar, plus he now has the ability to repair...

The two parked their bicycles aside, and Xue Lihong bent down to observe the shape of the statue.

The map in Xiao Mo's mind turned into a three-dimensional display, and he pointed out: "It's between the left foot and the base, not the outside, but the place where the sole of the foot meets the base."

Xue Lihong squatted down, stretched out her hand and rubbed the inner part of her left foot, "There is a small hole the size of a sesame seed here, the bug should have gotten in through here."

Xiao Mo circled the metal shape twice, and tried to push it again, "This thing is directly welded to the ground, so it is difficult to move it away. But it is even more difficult to separate the foot from the base. This is a whole We're going to have to get a cutter or a chainsaw to cut it up. I think we should go back, I have those tools in the store."

"When going out of the city, drive back to your house and take tools by the way." The young man took out a saw blade with a handle about five centimeters wide and fifteen centimeters long from his backpack.

"...You really have everything in your bag." And how can such a small backpack hold such a large tool?

"When people live for a long time, they will naturally collect some messy things. It's a pity that there is no chainsaw."

Xue Lihong began to use the saw blade to try to saw the connection between the shape and the base.

Xiao Mo also squatted down, "I'm afraid it's useless to rely on this saw blade alone? How long will it last?"

"That's you, not me."

"...Sorry, I almost forgot that you have thousands of years of internal energy."

The corner of the young man's mouth curled up, without denying it, and without looking at how hard he was trying, he held the handle of the saw blade with one hand and said, "Hold it up."

"Help what? Oh!" Xiao Mo saw that the saw blade had entered one-fifth of the position after the young man pulled it down, and quickly reached out to support the upper body of the model.

The foot without the bug quickly separated from the base.

"I'll break this thing and move it away later. You are responsible for covering that bug with this net, so as not to let it escape." Xue Lihong took out a ball of gauze net from her backpack with one hand. Pass it to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo took the gauze and opened it and shook, the gauze was cold in his hands, "Can this thing cover that bug?"

"It's made of silk." Without raising her head, Xue Lihong began to saw the bottom of the foot with the bug again.

Xiao Mo was surprised, "Is there really silk in this world? Is it impenetrable by water and fire? Unstoppable by swords and swords? The kind with excellent elasticity, warm in winter and cool in summer?"

Xue Lihong also looked up at him in surprise, "You will believe me when I tell you?"

"...Young man, continue with your work."
