Pollution throughout the territory - #351 - Chapter 347 Hidden Infection
In an instant, a flock of crows appeared, circling back and forth over the wasteland, making ominous cries.
Li Wan and Dean were inexplicably horrified, staring blankly at the sudden situation in front of them.
The swarm of insects that had been mating quietly suddenly became restless when they sensed danger. The insects made uneasy noises, similar to low-pitched chants.
They took off in groups again, trying to leave the area, but the crows had already swooped down and started pecking at the insects.
Insects seem to be naturally restrained by these crows. Their body size is much larger than that of ordinary moths. Due to size restrictions, no matter how flexible they are, they have limits. When flying in groups, this weakness is covered up by the group’s actions, but once it is captured by a single The crow locked on and almost immediately lost its way of survival.
The number of insects in the swarm is visibly decreasing sharply. The crows use their sharp claws to press the insects to the ground, lower their heads and peck at them. They kill one insect in a few mouthfuls, and then fly into the swarm again to hunt.
The crows formed a giant black net, tightly confining the insect swarm to an area, greatly increasing the hunting efficiency. Moreover, the net was getting smaller and smaller, which also meant that the insect swarm was gradually dying out.
Li Wan and Dean were also surrounded by crows at first. Black feathers were falling from the sky. Li Wan reached out and took one. The texture of the feathers was soft and had a hint of warmth. It looked real no matter how you looked at it. It was the same, but within two seconds, it turned into black smoke and disappeared.
They witnessed the appearance of the crows and realized what the crows were doing, so they were shocked.
“They’re feeding on the swarms.”
“But why is there such a coincidence?”
Li Wan looked into the distance. In the gap between the flying black crows, he could vaguely see the figures of two long-haired women.
“They did it!”
In less than a minute after the crows appeared, the swarm of insects had been devoured, and only a few scattered insects remained. They were swarmed by the crows and could not escape the fate of death.
“Did you summon these crows?”
Ping Shiqing recovered from the shock.
“yes.”
Crow’s answer was still so concise, unwilling to say another word.
“I see!”
Ping Shiqing suddenly realized something and said, “He asked you to take me out for a walk, but you ended up using your public tools for personal use and came out to feed your pets. I want to file a lawsuit!”
Crow shook his cold brows and replied after a few seconds: “Whatever you want.”
“It’s time.”
he said suddenly.
Ping Shiqing said unexpectedly: “So fast?”
“somebody is coming.”
The crow didn’t explain too much. The swarm of insects had been pecked clean. The crows gathered together, hovering over the wasteland and chirping. At a certain moment, they suddenly disappeared, leaving only large black feathers falling in the air.
When Niu Changshou arrived with Xia Ren and the housing agent, he saw exactly this scene.
Xia Ren saw Ya Ping and Shi Qing standing there, but because the distance was too far, he couldn’t see his face clearly, but he just felt that the outline was familiar.
Before he could take a closer look, the figures of the two people were obscured by dense feathers. When the feathers dispersed, the two of them had disappeared into the night.
“What happened, where is the swarm?”
As soon as he landed, Niu Changshou asked.
Li Wan and the dean looked at each other and didn’t know how to explain it for a moment. They could only tell the story from beginning to end.
“Are you saying that the insects were eaten by the crows?”
Niu Changshou was so surprised that he could stuff a fist into his mouth.
In other words, the biggest crisis they are currently facing has been solved so suddenly.
“It’s always a good thing.”
The real estate agent touched his pocket, trying to take out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but realized that he had thrown away the cigarette case before.
“Then what do we do now?”
the dean asked.
Niu Changshou thought for a while: “Send someone over to investigate this place.”
His mood was very complicated: “Anyway, let’s go back first.”
Xia Ren recalled the two figures he had just seen in his mind, and couldn’t help but raise his head and look at the sky above.
In the dark night, the moon obscured by clouds slowly reappeared, casting pale moonlight towards the earth.
only……
Xia Ren’s attention turned to one side. The thick clouds that blocked the moonlight seemed to have a strong sense of violation.
“Hey, brother, I’m back.”
Niu Changshou sat on the helicopter and greeted him.
“OK.”
Xia Ren nodded and looked away from the sky.
Before boarding the plane, he glanced upward again.
The cloud has disappeared.
…
…
We flew all the way back to the hospital by helicopter. We could see from the sky that several cranes were already cleaning up the burning vehicles on both sides of the street. At the entrance of the hospital, several forklifts and excavators started to work as if they were working on a construction site. Process that terrifying mountain of meat in batches.
The bodies of the dead were like piles of cold materials, being carried roughly and haphazardly.
No one can blame anyone. If they are not dealt with as soon as possible, these corpses will cause unimaginable trouble. Moreover, time is urgent, so this is the most efficient method.
Although the problem of the insect swarm has been solved, everyone’s mood is not relaxed.
Everyone knows that this is only temporary. The spread of atypical entomophobia is not limited to Dongpu City. If they cannot find a way to stop the plague, it is foreseeable that crazy scenes like tonight will occur in other cities. If it happens repeatedly, it will be a serious consequence that the Foundation and the Superman Association cannot bear.
“Gather people together and hold a meeting to discuss!”
At this time, a single person’s brain is no longer enough, and we must pool our wisdom!
In the conference room, dozens of insiders sat around the round table, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Among them were Foundation investigators who rushed over, members of the Logistics Department, research professors from the Superman Association, and the dean and deputy dean who originally discovered and named atypical entomophobia.
“Everyone, the situation has reached a point where there is no need to delay. If you have any opinions, please feel free to put them forward.”
Niu Changshou took a breath and said: “Now, let’s review the specific characteristics of atypical insect phobia. I believe you still don’t know some of the information just obtained.”
He reorganized the sequence in his mind and said: “Currently, it is known that patients who show clear symptoms are actually only a small number of patients. Most people infected with atypical entomophobia will not show obvious symptoms! “
“They are usually latently infected. They will only suddenly erupt when the insects want to pupate and fly away!”
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the conference room.
People looked at each other, seeing surprise and…fear on other people’s faces.
“That is to say.”
Niu Changshou knocked on the table and continued: “Once a confirmed case with obvious symptoms is found in a city, it means that there are already a sufficient number of latent cases in this city.”
