Hong Yi has always known that in the nineteen days since the outbreak of the insect plague, insects have successively laid eggs on human corpses to reproduce offspring.

But so far, Hong Yi has not seen any eggs hatch.

He guessed that it might take twenty or thirty days for the eggs to hatch, because by that time, the dead body would decompose to a semi-dissolved state, which would be easy for the larvae to eat.

The first six or seven days of the insect plague were actually not very serious, and the insects did not bite much, and the real peak of the insect outbreak began on the eighth day, and it was on this day that the citizens killed by the insects climbed steadily, increasing several times every day.

So from the eighth day, it has only been eleven days until now, and eleven days is definitely far from enough time for the eggs to hatch.

If it's time for large-scale egg hatching...... Then the city will be densely packed with larvae, hundreds of times more than the existing number of poisonous insects.

It was such a shocking scene that it was enough to make people's scalps tingle, although the larvae may not be lethal, but the terrible number of larvae can completely break the confidence of any people, and sincerely make people feel that the end of the world is coming, and it is impossible for humans to defeat the insects, and then give up on themselves.

Then again, how can the eggs of the red-capped beetle hatch so quickly?

Could it be that because Xiaohong is the most handsome and powerful, its eggs also mature faster? Be handsome and do whatever you want?

No, biologically...... It is absolutely impossible to speed up the maturation cycle of eggs with high appearance.

There must be something else.

The man with glasses looked at Hong Yi worriedly, he saw Hong Yi's eyes glowing green, and his face was excited, as if he had seen mountains of gold and silver - this spider monster is not going to eat all the larvae!

In the ecological environment of the earth, the nutritional value of maggot larvae has always been very high, the protein is several times that of beef, and poultry, mammals, fish and other organisms like to eat all kinds of maggots as food.

The history of human consumption of maggot larvae is even longer, such as the southern kudzu root worm, grass worm, bamboo worm, silkworm cocoon, bread worm, bee pupa, willow worm, longhorn larvae, ship maggot has always been deeply loved by the "special population", sold to seventy or eighty yuan a pound is not unusual, the older generation of uncles believe that the larvae nourish the aphrodisiac, nourish the blood and replenish the qi, so every now and then change the tricks to eat insects.

The larvae of the earth are still having a hard time...... God knows if the larvae of the red-capped beetle will also be brutally persecuted, and don't forget, the flesh of the red-capped beetle is extremely delicious, and its larvae are better than the adults, just like some people like caviar but not salmon.

The man with glasses plucked up his courage and pleaded, "Big, big brother...... You don't want to eat them, you can let them live, then some meat is not enough for you to stuff your teeth. ”

Hong Yi glared at him and said angrily: "Eat a fart, I look like a hungry person!" I can't protect such cute little insects as them, so why should I hurt them! Oh, they're so damn cute, as cool as their parents, and they're the king of bugs. ”

Hong Yi has always felt that Xiaohong should be regarded as the king of land warfare in the Zerg...... At least for now, it's impossible to say whether there will be more powerful land war beetles in the future, but no matter how powerful other insects are, they shouldn't be able to surpass Xiaohong's super high appearance in appearance...... For example, the evolution of the green-headed centipede must be uglier and more disgusting, and of course the dozens of knife legs are not good-looking, where is it as pleasing to the eye, beautiful lines, and fat flesh as Xiaohong?

"Big, big brother...... Listen to your tone ......"

The man with glasses swallowed his saliva and whispered a little bitterly:

"You love bugs too? The kind of love that comes from the heart...... Not a craving liking? ”

Hong Yi finally looked at this man who was quite a scholar with straight eyes, and grinned:

"These bugs obviously don't belong to the ecology of the earth, there is so much magic about them, like a moving treasure trove, containing infinite possibilities, of course I like, just like many people like to keep dangerous pythons and ligers in captivity in search of unique thrills...... Why, are you too? ”

"Of course we are! Poke the people in the road, stab the people in the road! ”

Hearing Hong Yi's answer, the four young people couldn't help but blushed with excitement, clenched their fists as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and vented loudly, and one of the young people burst into tears directly, as if they had met a bosom friend.

"What's wrong with you, all of a sudden, you're feeling emotional?"

Hong Yi asked suspiciously, obviously these people were still afraid of him as a monster just now, why did they talk about liking to study insects, they were as happy as seeing their long-lost brothers?

The man with glasses took off his silver-rimmed glasses, and there were faint tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, and he said with a slight cry:

"The four of us are insect enthusiasts, and we love to study all kinds of bugs...... My name is Wen Chouhai, and I have systematically studied entomology abroad, and my three companions—"

A man named Wen Chouhai began to introduce:

"His name is Tian Gang, he has traveled half of the country, found many rare insects, and he has also published two books about insects! Oh yes, don't look at his tender face, in fact, he is thirty-five years old. ”

"And this is Jun Jiaoxiang, don't look at him ordinary and inconspicuous, his father is a very famous entomologist, he has been nurtured since he was a child and likes to study entomology, he has published a lot of papers on insect research in international journals, amazing......"

"The last one is Mo Danai, he has also been dealing with insects since he was a child, and his family has opened a lot of insect specimen shops and insect farms, specializing in insects as medicine, wine, and food, and ......he is estimated to be the one who knows the most about insects among the four of us."

After the introduction, Wen Chouhai sighed again:

"Although we are insect lovers...... But it's a pity that those strange insects, poisonous insects, and giant insects that suddenly appear are dangerous to death, even if we have the ability to kill some insects, the research results are extremely limited, the thinking is restricted, and there is a lack of instruments, so far there is no progress...... The only thing that has made progress is to get such a large backpack of red beetle larvae, and we came to the library to find more pig-related books for reference......"

When Hong Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel proud, and scolded Fang Xuan, his tiger body shook out the qi of Wang Ba, and pretended to say in a deep voice:

"A book about raising pigs? There's no need for that. ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm the best pig breeder, I don't dare to say anything else...... But at least in terms of scientific pig raising, I must be the first in Songzhou City, even the professors in the school are weaker than me, the knowledge of pig breeding is bypassable, draw inferences from one another, and the theoretical direction of pig raising is not much different from that of raising insects...... If you have any questions, just ask me. ”

Hong Yi paused, showed a smile again, and said kindly:

"Of course, if I don't know anything about bugs...... I can also ask you for advice? After all, I know too little about the earth's insects, and I am a layman. ”
