Chapter 1601 Locusts Alluring the City
Chapter 1602
Xie Chen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said, "Something has happened!"
Xia Yuanqiu frowned: "What happened?"
Xie Chen said: "For some reason, a group of locusts suddenly came to the field and ate up all the wheat grains that were about to mature overnight. These grains are the rations of all the people in Donghai City this year. Without these rations, All the people in Donghai City will go hungry, what should we do?"
Xia Yuanqiu comforted Xie Chen's emotions: "Don't worry, talk slowly, what's the matter with this locust? Has something like this happened before?"
Xie Chen shook his head: "This has never happened before. Even if locusts come to eat occasionally, it is only a small amount. I have never seen so many locusts, covering the sky and covering the ground, so dark that even the sun is covered."
It must be a lot to be able to eat the food of the entire East Sea City residents for a season overnight.
Xia Yuanqiu frowned and said: "As far as I know, locusts don't just eat grains. If they are extremely hungry, they will eat anything, including human flesh and blood. Such a huge swarm of locusts is obviously very dangerous. This matter must be reported to the dean immediately, asking him to make up his mind."
Xie Chen was also in a panic. He always regarded Sha Lu and Yuan Qiu as the leaders of their six-person team. When something happened, the first thing he thought of was to discuss with these two. When Sha Lu was away, he went directly to Yuan Qiu. At this time, after listening to Yuan Qiu's words, he realized that such a big matter should be reported to the dean first.
The two rushed to the retreat, and Dean Bai was talking to Sifu. When he saw the two coming, he looked anxious again and asked, "What happened?"
Xie Chen hurriedly recounted the matter of the locusts, and Principal Bai turned pale with shock, and asked, "Where are the locusts now?"
"Still in the field, eating the leftover grains, no matter how hard you drive them away."
Dean Bai shook his head: "They can't be driven away. The most frightening thing is that if they don't get enough to eat in the grain field, they will start to eat other things, anything, including human beings. Hurry up, you go back Inform all the households near the grain fields to hide in their houses, not to go out, and not to try to repel the locusts, it will be of no use to repel the locusts by ordinary methods, and will bring trouble to themselves instead.”
When Xie Chen saw the dean's changed face, he was also panicked, and hurried away in response, not daring to delay at all.
After Xie Chen left, Dean Bai asked Xia Yuanqiu, "Yuanqiu, do you have a way to get rid of the locusts?"
Xia Yuanqiu has been thinking just now, these locusts can fly, and the flying speed is not slow, it is not easy to kill them all, if brute force is not enough, what about medicine? Is it okay to take medicine?
She thought of mosquitoes and flies. In the 21st century, there are many ways for people to drive away mosquitoes, among which is to ignite mosquito coils or liquid mosquito coils, and use this poisonous gas to drive or kill mosquitoes.
Although locusts are many times larger than mosquitoes, they are just insects. As long as insecticides are formulated according to their physique, everything will be solved easily.
"I want to use poisonous smoke. Only by using poisonous smoke can we wipe them all out. Otherwise, once these locusts start making trouble, our entire East Sea City will suffer." Xia Yuanqiu said.
Dean Bai frowned and said, "If poisonous smoke is used, wouldn't the people of Donghai City also be able to smell it?"
Xia Yuanqiu said: "It doesn't matter if you smell it, as long as you formulate a poison that targets the locust's physique but is harmless to the human body."
