Chapter 30: Ant Colony
"Look at it, the stuffing in this bun is rancid, what kind of black-hearted merchant is your shop? You dare to sell such buns and give them to children!"
"It's just... I'm too, what kind of black-hearted businessman? Dare to sell such buns, aren't you afraid of eating the dead?"
"Unscrupulous merchants!"
Several women who sent their children to school with their children gathered in front of the bun shop, pointing at the boss Hu Rundong and scolding non-stop.
"I..."
Hu Rundong was speechless for a while, the bun was indeed left over from last night, although it was not fresh, but it would not be bad!
In desperation, he looked at Zhao Xiaoxia, an employee in the store.
Feeling the boss's gaze, Zhao Xiaoxia immediately said to everyone: "Our store has been open for more than ten years, and it is impossible to destroy the signboard in the store because of such a cage of steamed buns, please calm down!"
However, the customers didn't buy it at all, and scolded him: "I don't know the signboard of your store, but if my child eats something, it won't be over with you, you black-hearted merchants...!"
For a while, things got a little out of control.
"In this way, we will change the cage for you, and the money for today's breakfast will also be refunded to you, do you think it's okay?"
The boss stood up at this time and said.
agreed to change the bun and refund the money at the same time, and the customer's restless heart was calmed down.
Holding the recovered steamed buns, Hu Rundong's face was ugly.
Having been in the breakfast business for more than ten years, he knows that the taste of the buns will deteriorate at most the next day, and they will not spoil in one night, which is too strange.
Touching his chin, Hu Rundong said to Zhao Xiaoxia: "Go and ask Zhang Lan and Jiang Qin how they are? Is there such a thing!"
Qinglu Breakfast Shop has more than one store in Xuyi County, as well as two branches.
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaoxia answered, and then ran to the back kitchen to make a call.
After a while, she came back and said with a frown: "It's the same over there, yesterday's buns are all broken." ”
Upon learning of this, Hu Rundong's face changed, and at the same time he realized the seriousness of the matter.
Immediately, he looked at Zhao Xiaoxia and said, "Close the door, we won't sell today's buns, you go and notify Zhang Lan and Jiang Qin, and let them close the door too." ”
And just as he finished speaking, a young man suddenly rushed madly.
"Uncle Hu, come a cage of soup dumplings, two tea eggs, and two cups of soy milk!"
It was the thirteenth of the month, and he heard Hu Rundong say in the distance that he was going to close the door, so he ran non-stop.
"Yo, it's thirteen. ”
Yue 13 used to work part-time in his shop, so I knew each other.
Pulling Yue Thirteen to the corner of a store, he followed Yue Thirteen and asked in a low voice:
"Do you have any leftovers at home?"
When Yue Thirteen heard this, he immediately guessed what he was going to say.
So he nodded and said, "Yes."
"Are you spoiled?" Hu Rundong asked impatiently.
"Rancid. ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Hu Rundong looked really as I expected.
Then he said to the thirteenth month:
"I don't know what's going on with the overnight buns in our store, and they go bad overnight, several chain stores are like this, I thought it was a problem with our ingredients"
"But now it doesn't seem like it's a matter of ingredients. ”
"Have you read the online forums recently? The meteor shower mentioned above, and the revival of aura or something. ”
"Looked. Moon 13 nodded.
"Oh, I guess it had something to do with that, and I felt like something was going to happen the first day it came out, and now it's true. ”
Saying that, Hu Rundong paused, looked around, and whispered to Yue Thirteen: "I've read the novel, I estimate that the era of great famine in the last days is coming, and you'd better prepare more food that is not easy to spoil." ”
Hurun East to the thirteenth of the moon,
Recently, he was chattered by those strange things on the Internet, and now he found out about this kind of thing, which suddenly gave him a premonition that something big was going to happen.
"Hmm!"
Hearing this, Yue Thirteen nodded solemnly to Hu Rundong, and handed over a ten-yuan bill.
While reminding:
"Recently, it has been reported in the news that the spoilage caused by microorganisms is intensifying, and the food in the house is either kept in the freezer or stored in a sealed space like cans. ”,
"Microorganisms?. ”
Hu Rundong frowned when he heard this, he looked at Yue 13, and then at the spoiled steamed buns brought over on the side.
After a moment of silence, he nodded.
"Yes, it's possible!"
He muttered to himself, and walked towards the kitchen where the food was stored.
Seeing Hu Rundong's figure leave, Yue 13 took the breakfast handed over by Zhao Xiaoxia, and then raised his feet and left the Qinglu breakfast shop.
...
...
Twisting breakfast, the thirteenth of the month walked on the small dirt road in the urban village.
When he was about to get home, several black, hard-shelled creatures like metal suddenly walked in front of him.
I'm busy carrying the carcasses of a few mutant crickets.
"Black, mutant ants?"
Yue 13 muttered to himself, and then suddenly thought of something, and his pupils contracted.
Without any hesitation, Moon Thirteen quietly followed them.
All the way to the abandoned fish pond in the urban village.
Here, he discovered the nest of this group of mutant ants.
It's right under a big bluestone.
They hollowed out the bluestone and the soil beneath it, and built a huge nest inside.
At first glance, on the thirteenth day of the month, there were five or six hundred worker ants in a dense area, just outside the ant nest.
They were busy, carrying the carcasses of animals that had been brought from all over the world, stuffing them into the burrows as food reserves.
"It's really an ant colony!"
Yue Thirteen squinted, and the conjecture in his heart was confirmed.
Ants are a creature that is extremely dangerous during the Great Fall and even after the end of the Great Fall in the future.
Because they have a high degree of social organization and strict hierarchy, they are the only species of all living things on earth that are the same as human society.
Moreover, their size is very small, the structure is even simpler, and the aura tide is the most thorough.
For example, the ants in front of me now, the big ones are all six or seven centimeters long, and the small ones are four or five centimeters long.
Even if the strength is not exaggerated to a hundred times, it can easily lift ten times the weight of itself.
The heavy carapace with a metallic sheen on the surface of the body and the mouthparts that occupy a quarter of the body length bring people a strong deterrent.
"If the rumors from the previous life are true, then in a few days, the fall of the urban village should be the ghost of these guys. ”
Yue Thirteen said thoughtfully.
In the previous life, the urban village began to fall in the early hours of Friday, the fifth day after the Great Fall began.
At that time, Yue 13 was still at school and was not at home, so he avoided the bloody turmoil.
This incident is the first massacre of mutant creatures in northern Jiangsu and even the whole of China since the tide of spiritual energy, so it is quite a big trouble.
Many whistleblowers on the Internet said that it was done by a group of black ants.
This is also the reason why Yue 13 will be surprised when he sees black ants.
