MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 118

It is common sense that there will be mosquitoes when the weather is hot, but people did not expect that after the extreme cold passed, the mosquitoes would flood so quickly, and people were caught off guard so quickly.

What is even more unbearable is that there is no such condition to produce things that repel mosquitoes at all. The extreme heat has almost dried up all the plants on the surface of the earth, and the extreme cold and freezing are barren of grass. Not to mention the mosquito repellent incense liquid extracted from plants, it is Chemical agents do not have that condition.

Finally, after a few days of normal temperature, people can go to work normally and go out of the house normally, but they didn’t expect that after two days of comfort, they would suffer the crime of being sucked blood by mosquitoes.

In addition to being scratched and scratched by mosquito bites, the most disturbing thing is sleeping soundly at night, and being woken up by the fluttering wings of mosquitoes in the ears. If possible, I start to make homemade mosquito nets. Without gauze nets, I sew them directly with sheets. Cover the entire sleeping place. The temperature is good now, and it’s not hot yet, so even if the cover is a little airtight, it won’t affect your sleep. Turn on the air conditioner after it gets hot. Anyway, as long as you can isolate the noisy mosquitoes That's fine.

If you don’t have the conditions, just sit up and beat the mosquitoes. There are so many mosquitoes that you can kill one with a slap with your eyes closed at night. .

Mu Nan took stock of the mosquito coils in the space. He bought a lot of them himself. He bought them in boxes online. Later, his brother bought a lot, so there was a lot in stock. It was enough for the mosquito coils to be lit 24 hours a day at home. There is an incense-free electric mosquito repellent liquid, which is suitable for Qin Huai to bring to the office.

Fortunately, Qin Huai now has an office alone. If it is mosquito coils, others may smell it when they come in, but this kind of non-scented electric mosquito coils has no fragrance and no burning cigarettes. It is enough to ensure that the place where you sit is free of mosquitoes.

The protection on their side is quite strict, but the others are miserable. Although they made their own mosquito nets, they are still made of thick fabric like curtain cloth, but they can't just go to bed and hide under the mosquito nets as soon as they get home. There are also a lot of mosquitoes in the place. Like Jian Chu, they do customer service. They just sit in front of the computer and help people solve things through the Internet. Sitting is a godsend. You just need to move your hands and type on the keyboard. Even if you wear thick clothes, there will always be something exposed. Even when taking a bath and going to the toilet, those mosquitoes bit every corner of the body, which made people miserable.

At the beginning, the temperature was still a little cold. Although it was not cold, the weather was just right, and it was a little better to wear long-sleeved trousers, but it couldn't stand the upward climb of one degree a day. In less than a month, it rose directly from zero to two degrees. It was more than 10 degrees and almost 30 degrees. When the weather got hot, the clothes would become unwearable, and there were more places exposed, and the mosquitoes couldn't catch their blood.

The temperature is rising rapidly, and the snow outside is also melting quickly. The road is full of wet potholes after the snow has melted. The river embankment next to them has accumulated a whole winter of snow. The **** of the embankment is repaired, and the water in the residential area basically flows into the river. Fortunately, the river is deep, and the sewers that have been dredged before help drain the water. The snow water did not overflow, but the road was damaged before. I didn't have time to repair it, and many places were potholes, and the melted water gathered in it. I don't know if this is the reason for the breeding of mosquitoes.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, some people even think bitterly that they might as well heat it up to 60 or 70 degrees to kill these mosquitoes. Anyway, they are powered by solar energy here, and they have never been out at night. It's better than being bitten to death by mosquitoes and having nothing to do.

Regarding the rise in temperature, people were only disappointed for a moment, and then returned to normal. Anyway, looking at it now, the climate is estimated to be like this. I just don’t know if this year will be hot for a whole year, or it will be cold for half a year and hot for half a year. Anyway, they don't understand the climate, so let's live in the cold and hot, as long as there is food, drink, and work to make money, how can they live?

Mu Nan took advantage of Qin Huai and the others to go to work, and together with Yu Zibai, cleaned out the solar energy on the roof. When the temperature started to warm up, Xu Ming also submitted a job application report. Now he has successfully joined the job as a veterinarian in a livestock farm. Looking at animals is much easier than looking at people, and the psychological pressure is also less. Anyway, Xu Ming rented a car by himself. Yu Zibai is gone.

Even Wu Zheng next door has found a job and entered an electromechanical plant. He has a foundation. Although he has never worked in this field after graduation, he has studied the major for a few years. At least the basic equipment is better than no foundation. The number of people is much faster, but the monthly salary is relatively small, one hundred and twenty a month, and it is only four yuan a day, but one meal is included, that is, keeping the equipment running, and it is not like moving bricks. So coolie, anyway, Wu Zheng has been doing it for a while, and he accepts this job well.

The electromechanical factory is a little further in front of the information building. Wu Zheng rides their car every day. When he arrives at the information building, he rides to the electromechanical factory. return.

Renting a car for four people is not easy to calculate, so I decided to pay 15 yuan per month for one person. If I have more money, I can buy gas, and if I have any leftover, I can save it and use it until next month. Although they have a good relationship, But there are some things that can't be vague, even if you are not a fussy person, if you figure it out, you can get along with each other more openly.

Yu Zibai stood on the top of the building, connected to the water pipe to flush water to the solar panels, and Mu Nan was watching from below. In some places, Yu Zibai couldn't see it, so he pointed out that after a severe winter, the solar panels were naturally not frozen. Frozen, but the snow has accumulated for a long time, some places need to be cleaned, and the wiring should be checked by the way.

When Yu Zibai was cleaning the solar panels upstairs, he saw that the Huang family behind them was also installing solar panels, so he speeded up the cleaning, and then handed over the follow-up cleaning to Mu Nan: "I'll go to the back and ask where their solar panels are. bought."

Mu Nan nodded: "Go." If Jian Chu and the others can also buy one, then they don't have to worry too much about electricity consumption in summer. The dishes can't be served hot, so it's better to have one more set.

Yu Zibai went away for a while before coming back. Mu Nan had already washed the roofs of the two houses clean, and was washing the ground in the yard on the first floor. As soon as Yu Zibai came back, Mu Nan quickly asked: "How is it? Where did you buy it?"

Yu Zibai said: "It's a private seller. They don't need money. They only accept grain transactions. They bought a set. The generator and a few solar panels used a thousand catties of rice."

Mu Nan calculated the current grain price. One yuan can buy two catties of rice on the official website. It is the kind of white rice that is not very good. In other words, it is 500 yuan for a set of equipment, 500 yuan is expensive It’s not expensive, but it’s not cheap either. The salary of a slightly better working condition is two or three hundred a month, like his brother’s current salary is more than two hundred, but most of the jobs are like Wu Zheng’s, a month More than one hundred yuan.

Calculated in this way, at least one person can afford it without eating or drinking for half a year, but solar energy is not a one-time item. If you calculate according to the electricity bill of last year's heat for one year and the whole summer, it will take about two or three years. It's just back to the original, so it's okay to calculate.

"Then you buy it? The generator in my house is quite big, can two be connected and used? In this case, two sets of solar energy should be more than enough to supply a whole house."

Yu Zibo said: "When Jian Chu and Xu Ming come back to ask at night, the main reason is money, but rice is not easy to get."

Now that the purchase of rice grains is restricted, their family’s food stock is only a few hundred catties, which is definitely not enough. Even if you spend money to buy it, there is not much you can buy at one time, but people’s things will not be kept waiting to be sold to them, just now When I went to Huang's house to inquire, there were already three or four people asking about solar energy.

Mu Nan said: "Otherwise, you should first contact the seller, some rice, see if you want tomatoes and peppers, if you want, then I will sell them to you directly, and you can trade them, oh yes, there is also a rabbit, the rabbit has grown another one It’s been a few months, and now it’s quite big, one of them has at least four catties of meat, so it can be sold.”

Yu Zibai thinks it's okay, they can trade a lot of things, if the other party doesn't limit it to only rice, it's quite easy to do, but it's not urgent at this time, his family can make decisions on their own, but they have to wait for Xu Ming to come back and discuss it , and so installed, it must be shared by the two.

Yu Zibai took a big broom and scrubbed the place where Mu Nan washed the water. After a while, the ground was washed clean. The water flowed out with the drainage pipes in the yard and would not accumulate in the yard. , the whole yard feels refreshed.

Mu Nan put down the water pipe and sighed: "If the temperature continues to rise, the air conditioner will probably start to turn on in two days." Now it is almost thirty degrees, but although the temperature has risen, it may have just turned from winter, and the whole The surface temperature has not been exposed to the sun, so it is not too hot, and there is no need to even turn on the electric fan at home.

After a few more days of exposure to the violent sun, it will be a direct transition to turning on the air conditioner.

Yu Zibai looked at Mu Nan: "Have you started serializing comics online?"

Mu Nan nodded: "Yes, the serialization started two days ago, and the fee-paying platform has just been completed, but the clicks and making money are not things that you can have immediately after updating. Anyway, don't worry, just take your time."

After Mu Nan finished speaking, he asked Yu Zibo curiously: "What about you? Have you thought about what kind of work to do? Or you can also grow vegetables at home. I have seen a lot of people digging outside recently. I guess they all want to work in the garden. Plant something at home, anyway, the house is so big, it’s not that there are no environmental conditions.”

Yu Zibo said: "I have already applied for a farm, and I plan to try it out, mainly because I want to learn." This is what he thought about early in the morning. Now that the world is bad, food is the most important thing, even more important than making money Important, in fact, a family like Mu Nan's is very good, one goes to work alone, and one stays at home to start a small plantation.

But they all figured it out on their own, and none of them had much experience. At least when he learned from Mu Nan, Mu Nan just told him how much water and fertilizer he needed according to the scriptures, but some vegetable roots were broken, leaves turned yellow, and even As for the problem of no result, Mu Nan didn't quite know why, and only said that when this happened, he would unplug it and feed the rabbit.

So Yu Zibai still plans to study systematically if he has the conditions. No matter how much money this job can earn, at least the skills he learns are his own.

Mu Nan felt that this was not bad, so he quickly said: "Then you just learn a little more, and then teach me, I have been serving my family's a la carte like this, but the growth is not very good, but it has paid off anyway."

Yu Zibo smiled and said: "I just submitted my resume, but I don't know if I can be selected. After all, I am not a professional in this field."

Mu Nan wanted to cheer him on, but this is really not professional. If he is not selected, he would be so disappointed, so he could only comfort him: "If you are selected, let's have a dinner party to celebrate, and if you are not selected, apply for another job." That is, what is lacking now is talents, and we are not afraid of not having opportunities.”

Yu Zibai smiled, accepting such comfort. Before entering the house, Mu Nan asked, "Are there many mosquitoes in your house?"

Yu Zibai said: "Many, but the moxibustion strips your brother gave the day before yesterday are very effective. Smoke them three times in the morning and evening. Close the doors and windows tightly, and the mosquitoes will be much stronger. Once you smoke them, the moxibustion sticks will be wiped out. One can be used for a while. Is it enough for your family?"

Mu Nan nodded: "It's enough for the time being. Let's see if the government has any way to disperse the mosquitoes. It's too many to be a disaster."

Not to mention the government, the government is also annoying. Although most people have been vaccinated now, there is no guarantee that some diseases will not be transmitted through mosquitoes. The flood of mosquitoes is not a good thing. It feels like after a winter of incubation, these Mosquitoes have mutated.

The above has found that these mosquitoes are not comparable to the currently known mosquitoes. The red-eyed and red-headed mosquitoes have hooked teeth on their beaks. With the data in front of them, they even felt that the world might have gone crazy. The reproduction speed is too fast, which is why this catastrophic flood is caused.

In order to prevent these mosquitoes from causing too much harm, the higher authorities had no choice but to deploy medicines to kill them according to the existing resources, especially those ditches that had not been dried in the sun, which were important breeding areas for mosquitoes.

The above will notify the killing time. According to the breeding speed of these red-headed mosquitoes, a large-scale extermination will be carried out in each district. During the extermination, people will close the doors and windows of the house tightly. If there is a certain degree of harm, do not use strong medicine, fearing that these mosquitoes will not be killed.

The effect of the first round of extermination is quite remarkable, because to clean up the dead bodies of mosquitoes, a large-capacity industrial vacuum cleaner was specially used to push the vacuum truck to clean up one district by one, and all the mosquitoes that were killed in the residential areas The corpses of insects were piled up into mountains and burned. How big can a mosquito be? However, such small insect corpses can pile up a small mountain. It can be seen that these mosquitoes have undergone a winter of evolution, and how terrible their reproduction is now.

Someone posted the photo on the Internet. Anyone in the residential area who has a mobile phone and can access the Internet has seen it. They were so frightened that they couldn’t stop their goosebumps. Do it once, now that the weather is getting warmer, all kinds of insects are starting to reproduce, especially the cockroach disaster last year, it is disgusting to think about it now, and these pests must not be allowed to become a disaster again.

Seeing those photos, Mu Nan was in a bad mood. The mosquito nets in their house were used early, and they had already set up mosquito nets when there were mosquitoes. It was hot for two days, so the doors and windows of the house were closed and the air conditioner was turned on. When I went out, I would spray mosquito repellant on my body, so the situation of being bitten was fine, but seeing this photo of burning mosquito corpses still sounded a wake-up call for them .

Qin Huai said: "Bring out some gauze, I'll cover the doors and windows with a layer of gauze, the second and third floors and the entrance to the door will also be covered with a layer of gauze, and the bathroom and kitchen will also be covered with a layer of gauze, so mosquitoes can also be protected." Anti-cockroaches."

At first, Mu Nan thought that there was no need to go through such a fuss, but now the air conditioner is turned on upstairs and downstairs, and the mosquito coils are lit every day, and there are no mosquitoes in the house, but when Qin Huai mentioned cockroaches, Mu Nan couldn't stand it anymore. Quickly took out the gauze rolls, cockroaches are more disgusting than mosquitoes, if you can install a layer of gauze to block as long as there is a door in the house, it will indeed be effective in preventing it.

The place where they live now is not the small two-bedroom and one-living room in the past, where they can clean up the empty house by collecting it casually. There are three small floors upstairs and downstairs, and it is not easy to deal with cockroaches.

So while Qin Huai was resting at home, the two of them started work at home. The gauze net had to be cut by itself, and the magic stickers had to be sewed. It had to be installed as a double-separated door curtain, so that it could effectively isolate mosquitoes without affecting entry and exit. In addition, Qin Huai also hung another layer of mosquito nets where they slept, it was the kind of princess gauze, nails were nailed to the roof, and the mosquito nets were hung on all sides to wrap the whole bed. The mosquito net is the same as a vegetable cover, with double layers inside and outside. It is unbelievable that you can still be bitten by mosquitoes like this.

Qin Huai folded the mosquito net on all sides and pressed it under the mattress, leaving the side at the end of the bed to hang down on the ground, so that it can be easily lifted up and out: "From now on, when you are free at home, you can lie on the bed and play. Keep the mosquito coils far away, saying that they are harmless and smoke-free. , smelling too much is not good for the body."

Mu Nan replied: "I see, you have to be careful outside, remember to tell me when you run out of mosquito repellent in your bag, and I'll refill it for you. It's so hot outside now that the car can still drive." ?"

Qin Huai said: "It's not too hot, it's not over 40 degrees now, the car is fine, when it gets hotter, it may start to stay out at night again, but if the day and night are reversed like this, at least wait until the temperature rises." It's over fifty degrees."

Sitting on the sofa and cutting his nails, Mu Nan said, "I feel that people have enough experience in dealing with summer this time. I see that the houses in the back have installed heat insulation and sun protection early."

Qin Huai smiled: "It's not the first time to experience extreme heat, it's an old experience, we'll install it in two days, did you ask Jian Chu when they will get the solar energy?"

Mu Nan: "The day after tomorrow, the minivan has already been rented, 600 catties of rice, 20 catties of tomatoes, 20 catties of peppers, and four rabbits. Do you think it is worthwhile to replace it with a solar energy?"

Qin Huai said: "At present, it's a good deal. Once their solar energy is in place, the electricity bill at home will be saved, and you don't have to worry about the temperature being too high and power outages. Didn't the female rabbit have another baby? It's about to give birth. "

Mu Nan opened the notepad: "At least half a month away, I don't know when it happened, and I can only infer from the changes in the habits of the female rabbit and the big belly. There is grass to eat, I harvested one crop and put it in the space, and this is about to harvest the second crop, but unfortunately the planting area is limited, so I can’t give them their staple food, and the staple food is still sweet potato vines.”

A lot of people went there on the day of trading solar energy, and even the big cows were taken to be strong men. The main reason is that they brought a lot of things, and the things they exchanged were also very expensive. Although this is in the residential area, if there is any It's black and white, always be on guard, they won't be tempted by others, but others don't even think about them.

Fortunately, the transaction between the two parties went very smoothly in the end. A set of solar generators plus six solar panels can cover the household electricity consumption. In addition, I bought a few extra yuan before, but I moved four yuan because it was more than that. The generator can't bear the load, and the rest is still installed on the roof of Qinhuai's house. After the electricity is distributed, Mu Nan doesn't have to worry about the load being too heavy. Before, he used electricity sparingly, for fear of tripping if the electricity was exceeded.

After feeding the rabbits and watering them, Qin Huai also covered the insulation cloth upstairs and downstairs. As for the insulation baffles inside the house, he was not in a hurry, the temperature was not that high, and there was still time to install them after it really heated up.

The two were sweating all over, and just after taking a shower and preparing to go back to the room for dinner, Mu Nan received Song Jia's Aite in the group: "Song Jia asked me if there was anything at home to relieve the itching, he seemed to be bitten badly Hey, should I give him toilet water or ointment?"

Qin Huai said: "Ointment, he seems to have been bitten quite hard. He scratched non-stop when he was in the car, and even scratched a few. It's serious. Toilet water may not work anymore."

Mu Nan snorted, and replied in the group: "There is something for itching, come and get it."

Soon Jianchu also came up: "Give me some rubbing too, Ma De will be bitten to death."

Mu Nan: "Then you guys come here, it's an anti-itch ointment, rub it on first to see if it works."

Soon the two came over, and Mu Nan took the ointment to the first floor, where a wooden sofa was placed on the first floor, and there was also a place to sit.

Mu Nan saw Jian Chu rubbing his stomach with a disheveled face, and said, "What's wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

Jian Chu sighed: "Maybe I am greedy for cold, I drank too much ice, it's okay, it will be fine in a while."

Mu Nan handed them the ointment: "Hey, that's it, although I don't know how effective it will be in relieving itching."

Song Jia said: "Did we use you? Don't give us the last little medicine left, this mosquito is too poisonous, it itch like hell."

Mu Nan said: "I'm at home and didn't go out. My house is now covered with a layer of screens like this inside and out, and I haven't been bitten. I still have a little toilet water, but the anti-itch effect of toilet water should not be as good as this ointment. Well, maybe there will be an anti-itch medicine on sale soon."

They also hope that the medicine can be sold soon. If it weren’t for the fact that they can’t buy medicine anywhere, and they can’t buy mosquito repellent and insect repellent, they wouldn’t know that these things are scarce now, and they would talk to their friends. It was so itchy that I wanted to tear off a layer of skin.

Song Jia immediately started to wipe his legs. His legs were the ones that were bitten the hardest. Mu Nan felt his scalp tingle when he saw it: "How many mosquitoes are there in your unit? Don't they all surround you and **** blood?" On the table, there is almost no good meat, and there are even large and small ones, which makes people suffer from dense phobia.

After a while, Qin Huai also came down: "How about it, can this medicine relieve the itching?"

Jian Chu wiped the medicine and blew on it, probably there is a cooling ingredient in it, and it was very comfortable to blow on: "It works, I decided to wear long sleeves to go out tomorrow, I am so big, I have never been bitten so hard by mosquitoes. "

Song Jia handed the ointment to Mu Nan: "My back is also itchy, please wipe it off for me."

Mu Nan took the ointment, opened his clothes, and saw that in addition to some densely packed small bite bumps, there was also a big red and swollen bump on his back. What a ruthless mosquito this must be. Fortunately, he had all the things he had prepared, and the protection for his brother was also in place in the office. Otherwise, it would be his brother's turn to apply the medicine now.

Just when Mu Nan was about to rub the medicine on Song Jia, he saw that the bag on his back seemed to move, and he looked at it strangely, and then he let out a sound, and took a big step back in fright, directly bumping into Song Jia. It was Qin Huai's body.

Jian Chu and Song Jia turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Mu Nan turned to look at Qin Huai: "Brother, go and see if there is something moving in the bag on his back!"
