Chapter 57: The Role of the Food Chain

And the scene in front of him made him even more numb.

A group of golden cicadas were densely attached to the windows of the corridor, blocking the windows impermeable, and from a distance they looked like they were pasted with a layer of golden and fluorescent blue window flowers.

He knocked vigorously on Qin Hao's door: "Brother Hao, open the door, help!" Let me come in and hide. ”

Qin Hao didn't open the door, but looked at Qin Hao a little innocently every day: "Dad, don't you let Uncle Ma in?" ”

"Every day, what your sister Su thinks is dangerous, it's definitely not simple, and Dad can't let you take risks."

"No, no matter if your father is by your side in the future, you have to keep in mind that only when you live can you have a future."

Seeing that Qin Hao didn't open the door, Ma Dexiang ran to the door of Su Mi's house while crying and cursing. He didn't dare to knock on Su Mi's door, he was afraid of these dense golden cicadas and was afraid that Su Mi was almost the same, but in the face of life and death, even if he was killed by Su Mi, it was like being stung by these disgusting cicadas.

The colors of these cicadas are very different, bright and weird, and he doesn't believe that he didn't beat them to death. Coupled with the fact that he had the experience of a giant toad attack during the day, these golden cicadas were definitely something that could kill them.

So he ran to Sumi's door and knocked on the door.

"Boss Su, help, I don't dare to go back when I enter the golden cicada at home, you let me stay with you for a while, and leave when the golden cicada retreats, please!"

There was no gap in the windows in the corridor except for a small ventilation hole, and the golden cicadas could not enter. But there is a gap in the door of the stairway.

The downstairs windows are certainly not closed, and those golden cicadas will come in in a moment.

Thinking of this, under the crack of the door at the end of the corridor, several golden cicadas crawled out, and when they saw Ma Dexiang, they flapped their wings and flew over.

"Ahh Help me! Boss, Boss Su, Qin Hao, Brother Hao! Ma Dexiang knocked on Su Mi's door for a while, and knocked on Qin Hao's door for a while, the strength and voice were so loud that Su Mi was upset and irritable at this time.

She slammed the door open a crack, said "shut up" with a cold face, and then dropped an electric mosquito swatter on the ground, and the door knocked and closed with a good bang.

Ma Dexiang saw that the message on the ground was like a treasure, and he almost gave Su Mi a ring, but at this time, his life was critical, so he took a deep breath and walked to the door of 1503, opened the door, and flew with the electric mosquito swatter that was electrified.

Golden cicadas are different from ordinary moths in that they do not have phototaxis. They just stop when exposed to light.

But the power system of the last days collapsed, and there was no light at night except for the faint moonlight. Only Ma Dexiang's incessant screams of horror and bold yells also happened to allow them to determine the direction of their targets.

Fortunately, Ma Dexiang's accuracy when he waved the golden cicada with an electric mosquito swatter was not bad, so while waving the golden cicada one by one, he forcibly closed the windows in the house.

By the way, he also killed a lot of smaller golden cicadas who tried to drill into the house.

He followed Su Mi's words and plugged the gaps in the room with towels and clothes, and finally, after mending the corpse of each golden cicada that fell to the ground, he was sweating profusely and breathing a sigh of relief.

He closed all the doors of the balcony kitchen and filled the gaps, closed the curtains in the living room, and collapsed on the sofa in the living room.

As soon as the tense spirit relaxed, Ma Dexiang suddenly felt that his whole body was in pain, and he wiped his forehead, which was not as hot as it was simple.

The wound on his face hurt him a little groggy, and the next second he fell asleep on the sofa unconscious.

Ma Dexiang fell asleep here, but Qin Hao and Su Mi, who were in their own rooms, stayed awake all night.

From time to time, frightened cries and cries for help could be heard upstairs, and footsteps were chaotic. Qin Hao covered Tiantian's ears and stared at the golden cicada outside the window with his eyes open.

Tian Tian was not completely inaudible, he could hear the shouts from upstairs, but through his father's palm, not so sharp and harsh.

The small man didn't blink his eyes, and his expression was even more calm without a trace of fear.

Su Mi's ears are good, not only upstairs, but she heard the whole community echoing with screams and strange noises in the stagnant water, like the sound of something falling into the water, and like the splash of people when they jump into the water.

Whether it's a golden cicada or a giant toad, these two things are not creatures they can fight against at this time.

There was a loud "bang", and the sound was exactly the same as the noise by the window after Su Mi caught the golden cicada just now.

"Bang" again.

After several consecutive sounds, on the window of Su Mi's living room, there was a gap in the originally dense golden cicada.

"Bang" again, and now Su Mi saw clearly that the huge purple-red tongue belonged to the giant toad.

It's just that Su Mi didn't find the location of the giant toad. Even the golden cicadas covered the windows of her living room in batches, and dozens of them were swept up by the golden cicadas' tongues at once, swallowing them all with such speed and efficiency.

All that remained was a patch of transparent slime on the window and the blue powder left by the golden cicada on the window.

This blue powder is probably the most poisonous thing on their body.

But Su Mi didn't dare to open the window, compared to the golden cicada, the attack of the giant toad was also very terrifying.

Quantitatively, Sumi is more afraid of the golden cicada. It's just that the toad just occupies the relationship at the top of the food chain and restrains the golden cicada, so in this battle, the giant toad wins.

Su Mi walked to the bedside, there was no extra golden cicada outside the window, and there was no giant toad in sight, the crisis was temporarily lifted, but the faint uneasiness in Su Mi's heart did not disappear.

When the day dawned, the sound of cicadas outside was gone, but there was a more "croaking" frog chirping. Su Mi didn't want to "listen to the sound of frogs", she just wanted to go back to the space to sleep.

In the bottle of mineral water on the table, the golden cicada floated on the leaves, its mouthparts under its head inserted into the veins of the leaves, sucking the juice. Sumi checked the windows and crevices in the room, and after making sure that everything was safe, she entered the space with the mineral water bottle.

The entry of the golden cicada made the fog disperse a little again.

Su Mi poured the golden cicada out of the bottle, and it immediately flew to a small sapling next to it and hid. This tree is a camphor sapling, which was specially selected and planted by Su Mi from the pile of seeds and saplings she bought.

The camphor tree can effectively prevent mosquitoes in summer, and its special smell can repel insects.

The golden cicadas that have climbed the tree do not chirp or suck the sap, but remain motionless as if they were dormant.

Su Mi was not afraid that it would have any problems, after all, as long as the creatures entered the space, it would not be so easy to die.

She calmed down and wanted to take a rest, but Xiaobai suddenly ran over and rubbed her calf.

If you want to talk about the creatures in the entire space, the one that has changed the most is Xiaobai. For a month or so, the coat color is as white as snow, and there is a silver reflection in the sun, and the three clusters of flame-shaped hair on the forehead are darker.

Generally speaking, a one-month-old husky can be held in two hands by a normal person. But Xiaobai's body is extraordinarily strong, comparable to the size of someone else's three-month-old large dog.
