After finishing his work, Ye Fu went to Officer Song and conveyed Fang Ming's words to him intact.
Officer Song was also speechless for a while, but he had no intention of pursuing this matter.
——
There had been no rain for a month, and the safety zone suddenly fell into a water shortage crisis. Ye Fu looked at the dark sky and wondered what kind of evil God was going to do.
The chickens in the shed kept squawking "coo-coo-coo", making people upset. Ye Fu saw someone heading towards the villa where Wan Tao and the others lived, probably asking for help.
Fortunately, Wan Tao is a person with a long-term vision. Every time it rains, he will ask everyone to store more rainwater. The filtered water can be stored for a long time and can be stored in earthen jars.
Half a year ago, a small cave dwelling was built in the safety zone and some earthen jars were burned to store filtered rainwater.
Ye Fu was playing backgammon with Jiang Run, and Lin Siran called her outside. After going out, he saw her standing in the thick fog with An An on her back.
An An was one year and two months old and could already speak some words. Ye Fu pinched his little face.
"Ye Fu, I just found a lot of yellow ants in the vegetable field."
"Yellow ants?"
"Yes, it's right at the root, and the vegetable roots are all broken."
"I'll go take a look with you."
When the two arrived at Lin Siran's house, Ye Fu saw a lot of pulled vegetables placed at the door. The roots of the vegetables were chewed into hollows, the leaves were withered and yellow, and there were many yellow ants crawling around on the ground.
"Did you just show up today?"
"I don't know. I haven't done any work on the vegetable field in the past two days. I just came over to break the corn, and I found that the roots of the corn stalks were also hollowed out."
"This should be able to disinfect it. I'll go back and prepare some potion for you. You can spray it."
"Okay, please."
On the way back, Ye Fu also saw a lot of densely packed black ants. They seemed to be moving. They lined up from a pit and all burrowed into the cracks in the wall of the villa.
However, this situation was not accidental. One hundred meters away, Ye Fu discovered four or five teams of moving ants.
It stands to reason that when ants move, it will rain.
After returning home, Ye Fu checked his vegetable patch and found more than a dozen yellow ant colonies.
Ye Fu pulled out all the medicinal materials and vegetables in the vegetable field and quickly took out the insecticide to spray it. However, after spraying half a bottle, the yellow ants had no reaction at all. Ye Fu quickly went back upstairs to take out some medicinal materials and started to make insecticide.
Insect meal.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Run heard the noise and came out of the room. He saw Ye Fu selecting medicinal materials and was a little confused.
"A lot of ant colonies appeared in the vegetable field. I tried using pesticides, but they couldn't be killed, so I had to make my own poisonous powder. Also, there were a lot of black ants moving on the road outside."
Jiang Run went downstairs, shoveled a pile of soil, and stared at the yellow ants in the soil for a few seconds before going out again.
"It may rain heavily."
Ye Fu sighed, "I also have this guess. Although there is a shortage of water, if there is a heavy rain, many precarious houses may collapse due to floods."
Jiang Run was obviously not on the same page as her, "We have to kill the chickens in the shed quickly, collect the soil on the first floor, and lay some stones or wooden boards on it. Otherwise, if water gets in, the first floor will be very muddy."
Ye Fu nodded, "Okay, but I have to get the poison powder out first and give some to Lin Siran and the others. If I don't kill this thing, if it reproduces on a large scale, it might turn the entire safe zone into an ant colony."
Ye Fu already had trypophobia, and when he thought of that scene, the hairs on his arms stood up.
Ye Fu got a large bucket of poisonous powder, put on a mask and gloves, and started disinfecting it in the vegetable field. The poisonous powder was powerful enough. Within a few minutes of spreading it, all the yellow ants still crawling in the soil were dead.
Ye Fu kept some of it at home and took the rest to share with everyone.
After dividing it among Lin Siran, Qi Yuan, and Officer Song, Ye Fu took the rest and gave it to Wan Tao and the others, and also told about the appearance of the yellow ants and the moving of the black ants.
"Jiang Run and I think it's going to rain heavily. After you spread the medicine, you may have to remind everyone to make plans in advance."
Wan Tao did not dare to be careless and quickly went to the vegetable field to check. As Ye Fu said, the field was full of yellow ants. Because these yellow ants are very small, only two millimeters in size, it is difficult to find them without looking carefully. He looked at
The vegetable root was bitten off and looked very ugly.
"Liu Zhang, you divide the remaining poison powder among others. Lao Huang, you go and inform everyone and get everyone ready. There may be a heavy rain."
Ye Fu left after informing them, returned home, and began to clean up the soil on the first floor, and then moved some stones from outside to fill it up.
Jiang Run had killed all the chickens in the shed. The two of them worked all night to clean them up. Ye Fu soaked the chicken feathers in water and took them to the balcony to dry them.
Others save water and do not soak and wash. After drying, they leave the fluff and stuff it inside the clothes to keep them warm.
When the survivors in the safe zone got the news that there might be a heavy rain, they felt that the sky was about to collapse. All disasters started with a heavy rain. No one wanted to recall those days.
Now let me tell you that there may be another heavy rain, and those who cannot bear the blow will break down and cry bitterly.
Wan Tao personally inspected the houses where everyone lived. Some houses might collapse and needed to be moved in advance. Some people were unwilling to move. Wan Tao tried to persuade them for a long time, but he could only shake his head and leave.
Qi Yuan and Officer Song went to dig a few more carts of coal. Wan Tao said there was not enough poisonous powder, so Ye Fu made another half bucket.
There are more and more black ant colonies outside. They are densely packed on the walls, in cracks, and in the pits left by acid rain corrosion, everywhere.
Officer Song and the others also imitated Ye Fu and Jiang Run and filled in the vegetable fields, but no one was willing to kill all the chickens they had managed to raise.
"A sneeze."
As soon as Ye Fu went out with the medical kit, he was choked by the thick fog and sneezed all the time. He touched his face and found that in addition to the mist, there was also a layer of dust.
You can vaguely hear complaints and curses coming from not far away. Ever since the natural disaster, these complaints and curses have never stopped.
After finally living a peaceful life for a few days, with enough to eat and a place to sleep, another disaster struck. This was not only physical torture for everyone, but also mental devastation.
I was on tenterhooks day and night, fearing that something unexpected would happen in the next second.
Ye Fu covered his mouth and coughed several times suppressedly. The little girl leading the way looked back at her, her eyes full of apology.
"Dr. Ye, I'm causing trouble for you."
Ye Fu shook her head. Although she was wearing a mask, she still didn't dare to speak. When she spoke, she felt thick fog filling her mouth.
Arriving at the shopping mall, Ye Fu saw the patients who needed treatment this time. They had escaped from Liangjiang County before, and now they were all crowded on the third floor of the shopping mall.
