Chapter 68: Life Returned
The residents of the Blue Ocean Internet café and several nearby small buildings have all run out, and a large area of black pressure is standing on the street outside. Almost half of the street was blocked.
If you look closely, you will find that these people are all frightened and pale, and some of them even run out of the house with only a pair of slippers on, and they are shirtless and only wearing a vest. Even if the temperatures in the south in March and April are not too cold, it looks a little scary. Others seem to be overly frightened and can't stop muttering, and these people are more likely to be elderly. There were also teenagers who were playing around in the crowd, not feeling the worries of their parents at all.
However, without exception, these people are more or less stained with some white cobwebs. Some are in the hair, some are in the clothes. A short distance from a few small buildings to the street, the ground was a mess, littered with sparse spider carcasses that had been trampled on. These spiders vary in size, breed, and color, and are almost covered with concrete.
A red fire truck and two police cars have been parked as people discuss how to deal with the strange situation.
No one knows where these spiders came from, except that around ten o'clock in the morning, a few spiders appeared in the houses of these families. At that time, the situation did not go unnoticed. Because small spiders without webs are really difficult to attract attention.
Things started to detonate around twelve o'clock. The army of spiders that came out of nowhere rushed into these buildings in broad daylight without disguise. Hundreds of thousands of spiders of all sizes screamed with their furry bodies to frighten the residents, and some of them had the audacity to pick up the insecticide and it was a wild spray, but these spiders didn't know what the devil was, and they actually rushed up against the pungent smell of the insecticide, attacking together from their heads and feet, and urinating directly out of this stupid boldness.
Some people may think that there is nothing terrible about a small spider. Of course, a spider is nothing, and if it weren't for the kind of giant spider with a specific species, most people would still be able to crush it to death with paper. But if it's ten, people may have to consider whether to do it, and replace it with some timid ones, who may have been scared and can only call for help. What about when there are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of spiders? The vast majority of people will not continue to resist, but will choose to retreat first, call friends, and come to them to settle accounts when they are ready.
When Su Xing and his party came here, they saw such a scene.
The street chief and several staff members brought a table and placed it on the sidewalk, discussing countermeasures with the police and firefighters who arrived on the road.
"It is very difficult to pass the trick of pesticides, and how many pesticides to spray in such a large place, and the clean-up work at that time is also endless. Moreover, this is still a downtown area, and the number of people who have to evacuate is not small when pesticides are sprayed. Also consider the hassle that comes with pesticides flowing down the sewer. ”
Director Gong of the sub-district office hurried to the scene after answering the phone, and urgently interrupted a regular meeting for this reason. He touched his middle-aged scalp and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with some annoyance.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, many residents were driven out of their lunch and were hungry, and their homes were occupied by a large group of spiders of unknown origin, which made them have a fire in their hearts.
Fortunately, Director Gong is also a decisive character, and as soon as he arrived at the scene, he immediately arranged for people to go to a nearby restaurant to order fast food, and distributed them one by one, which finally calmed the restlessness of this group of residents.
"We have to come up with a way quickly, otherwise it will drag on and things will get more and more troublesome when it gets dark!" he knocked on the table, his face solemn.
The police and firefighters who rushed to the scene after receiving the call also looked at each other, after all, no one had ever encountered such a thing. If you want to say that rats and cockroaches gather to make trouble, they can barely understand it, but this spider ...... It's good for ordinary people to see spiders once a day, but who has ever seen tens of thousands of spiders gather to make trouble?
And considering that this is a downtown area, the flow of people coming and going is huge, and many means are not easy to use, for a while, the big guy can't do anything with these little spiders.
Just as they were frowning, they suddenly heard a small exclamation from the crowd: "Look, everyone, there are so many cockroaches!
Several people hurriedly got up and looked, and sure enough, dense cockroaches, ants, centipedes, and other insects appeared like streams from the corners, sewers, walls and other places, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, rushing towards several apartment buildings and Internet cafes.
Su Xing looked at Xia Qiu beside him, this woman in her twenties, who was about the same age as him, had a pale face at the moment, and her body was also shaky. It's normal to think about it, she's a woman after all, and in the face of this kind of picture that even most men would find quite creepy, it's already very powerful to be able to stand. I didn't see that the teachers and nephews who came together felt a little like vomiting.
No, a senior nephew came up: "Senior sister, in this case, do we still want to go in?"
Xia Qiu's white and neat teeth bit her lower lip, the muscles on her face twitched for a while, and her eyes almost wanted to erupt with fire. After hesitating for a while, she waved her hand a little tiredly, "You guys go back first, I'm going to watch here." Go back and tell Uncle that the situation is not serious. After saying this, she looked left and right, strode forward, and dragged two people out of the crowd, but they were employees in her Internet café.
As soon as they saw Xia Qiu, they seemed to have found the backbone, "Boss, this thing is really evil, just across a wall, the old Zhang family next door has nothing to do, even the cockroaches and ants run clean." ”
One of the employees looked strange and pointed to the rest of the apartment buildings, "This is the only case with our Internet café and the three buildings next to it." ”
Su Xing was silent for a while, and said, "It seems that I can't help with this matter, I'd better go back and take a look first, and call me if you have something." ”
Xia Qiu smiled reluctantly, "Uncle Xiao walks slowly, I won't send it." ”
Su Xing pushed his bicycle, and finally squeezed out from the other end of the street, and looked back at the crowd that had retreated a lot again, his eyes darkened. In his field of vision, a vague phantom of an insect's legs was slowly moving over the houses.
"Looks like there's something wrong with Lagher's old house. ”
