Chapter 28: Invincible Foodies
The first wave of locusts is already approaching the city.
At the foot of the mountain, more than 100,000 citizens waited nervously, and many people rushed to Xicheng District to defend against these pests. Behind them is their homeland, and if the locusts are allowed to enter the city, then the city is basically finished, and there is no grass to grow, so that everyone's last bit of vegetable rations will disappear, and many people will definitely starve to death.
Soon, there was a roar like a bomber in the distance, it was the sound of those overwhelming locusts shaking their wings, looking at the locusts getting closer and closer, everyone looked different, some excited, some nervous .......
"Grandpa, do you think locusts can be eaten?" A young man in his mid-20s asked the old man next to him.
"I can eat it, I've eaten it when I was *** before, and it's always delicious when it's fried." The old man stood behind the young man and said in a low voice.
"That's a good dare, I heard that this locust has more than a dozen catties, and one is enough for the two of us to eat for a day! Grandpa, I'll pick you up later. The young man said happily.
The old man smiled and nodded.
More than 200,000 people came to the edge of Xicheng District, and the locusts did not disappoint everyone, the first wave arrived at about 6 o'clock in the evening, and before it could settle down, it was smashed down by people on the ground with slingshots, stones, and sticks, and then there was a burst of looting.
At the beginning, there were still people who made a big move to fight for a locust, but fortunately, there were tens of thousands of troops here to maintain order, and there were skirmishes, and everyone dared not dare to shed bloody clashes.
Before the first wave of locusts could eat the leaves, hundreds of thousands of citizens snatched them up, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the second wave of locusts.
Liu Xing's squad was also sent over, originally thought it was a hard battle, but the result was a big surprise, they couldn't intervene at all, so they had to maintain order, because millions of people in the city were rushing over one after another, and they were not worried about locusts now, but worried about a serious stampede.
Hundreds of helicopters in the sky illuminated the mountain suburbs of Xicheng District, so that the citizens could catch locusts, the leaders above heard the report of the people below, and they couldn't close their mouths happily, and immediately stopped at spraying pesticides, so that the street office community organized the citizens to go to the edge of Xicheng District in an orderly manner, and a war between humans and locusts officially began.
The bitter locusts never expected that the huge locust team, which had always been invincible and invincible, would be blocked by the tactics of the sea of people.
Waves of locusts continued to fly to Xicheng District, and the hungry citizens were even more crazy, everyone with plastic bags, woven bags, snakeskin bags, backpacks, etc., with kitchen knives, sticks, shovels and other rudimentary weapons in their hands flocked to the mountains of Xicheng District.
The tens of thousands of soldiers who were originally on the front line were basically withdrawn and used to maintain order. Liu Xing couldn't help but sigh when he saw the crazy citizens, including many residents of the alleys.
"If people are in a hurry, it's really terrible!"
Many residents of the alley stepped forward to greet Liu Xing, Liu Xing's mood slowly became heavy, and he couldn't imagine that even the residents of the alley would come to join in the fun.
"Director Zhang, what's going on? You shouldn't be short of food. Liu Xing found the community director of the alley and asked.
"There is no way to help the tasks assigned above, and it is not a bad thing to let the people in the alley hunt a few locusts and go back to eat, and it is rare to open meat now." Director Zhang said with a wry smile.
"Okay, organize everyone behind me." Liu Xing still has a deep affection for the residents of his alley. He didn't want them to get hurt either.
"Okay, everyone listen, everything that listens to Liu Xing is indispensable for everyone's meat." Director Zhang shouted at the top of his voice.
Liu Xing was speechless for a while, thought for a while and said to Director Zhang: "I can only guarantee that each person will receive 3 locusts." ”
"Enough, enough." Director Zhang smiled all over his face, each locust costs more than ten catties, and everyone can eat 3 locusts for a few days.
The second wave of locusts galloped over, Liu Xing stood in front, accurately shooting the head of each locust, he didn't dare to waste a bullet, all of them hit the head of the locusts, and those locusts that were shot also fell to the ground, Director Zhang organized everyone to collect them in turn.
After the neighbors in the alley received 3 locusts, Liu Xing's bullets were almost exhausted, but fortunately, everyone was still very obedient, and when they got 3 locusts, they happily went home to prepare the big locusts stewed in oil, and I heard that this dish has become popular.
When they were gone, Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, after all, there is a difference between relatives and aliens, and a team of dozens of citizens appeared behind him.
Liu Xing asked the people behind him to attack the locusts by themselves, and he just needed to maintain order. Fortunately, the citizens behind were also asked to take three locusts before they came up, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and the overwhelming locusts did not break through the citizens' defense line until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and some of the fish that slipped through the net were also eliminated by the citizens who rushed in.
Liu Xing yawned, said a few words to the soldiers who took over, and then returned to the barracks with the first squad in a helicopter, everyone washed up casually, and went to bed in a daze.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the first team was woken up. Needless to say, I still go to Xicheng District to maintain order.
This time there was no helicopter, the main road had been almost cleared by crazy citizens, and a military vehicle took them to the mountains west of the city.
When I got out of the car, I was stunned by the scene in front of me, the trees that were lush and green all over the mountains yesterday have now been cut down, and when I asked the soldiers who stayed behind, I found out that those citizens cut down the trees back for firewood.
"It's true that man is the victor of heaven." Liu Xing said with emotion.
"Haha, the locusts haven't come in yet, I didn't expect the trees to disappear here." The eagle also said a little speechlessly.
"Unity is strength!" Squad leader Wen Yong said with a smile.
A few people easily came to the foot of the mountain and took over from the previous soldiers. Everyone was in good spirits, and they also talked about their own ways of eating locusts.
In the next three days, the situation was similar, I don't know how many locusts have become a meal on the plate of millions of citizens, and no matter how low the IQ of the locusts is, they have also begun to retreat, avoiding the city. I guess they won't dare to come here again.
The boss also got inspired by this incident, and began to organize citizens to hunt in the mountains and catch fish in the river, and even the ants that occupied the grain depot did not let go, and it became a delicacy on the table in a few days.
The city slowly began to become orderly, God seemed to stop joking, there was no more strange rain, and everything slowly returned to normal.
