Chapter 507 No grass grows(1/2)

Large numbers of locusts flew in continuously, and a fluffy cloud of locusts rolled in the sky.

Countless locust wings flapped, making a terrifying loud noise.

They were biting wildly, and there was a sound like heavy rain in the crop fields.

Locusts swarm the sky.

There are dense locusts everywhere, and we don’t know how wide the scope of this locust is.

So Li Yu took out his walkie-talkie and asked the staff on duty on the national highway: "Are there any locusts over there now?"

The person on duty on the national highway immediately replied: "There are still many more. We are all swamped by locusts. There are locusts everywhere. They are flying towards the south."

Li Yu estimated the time, and it was 5 kilometers from the place of duty to the base.

In the base, it has been more than an hour since the locusts arrived. These locusts not only stay here, but there are also a large number of locusts flying south in the air.

The flight speed of locusts reaches 6 to 12 kilometers per hour. Based on this calculation, the range of this locust is at least ten kilometers, and this is just an estimate of his.

There are so many locusts that it is useless to protect crops.

Li Yu watched as there were more and more locusts, and looking at the situation, there were more and more formations.

These dozens of acres of rice have just been plucked!

What a sin!

Li Yu watched everyone desperately protecting the rice. The ducks in the rice fields were still eating locusts. However, the locusts not only did not decrease, but became more and more numerous.

The leaves in the mountains and forests are also being eaten away. The green spring that used to be everywhere is drowned by the yellow locusts that are everywhere in the house.

A piece of yellow.

At this time, the second uncle found Li Yu, frowned tightly, and said breathlessly: "Xiao Yu, I think this locust is just the beginning. Maybe the large army has not come yet. Once it comes, we will not be able to stop it at all."

These locusts!

Rather than letting these locusts eat up our rice, it is better to harvest all the rice and then pile it up for the cattle and sheep to eat."

Li Yu looked at the locusts on the ground, which had already covered the ground.

Yellow ground!

Li Yu did not hesitate and said decisively: "Okay, let's stop protecting. Now everyone has harvested the rice, using harvesters, and others using sickles. Now that we have done it, we should do it more thoroughly and remove the rice we planted before.

Some pastures have also been harvested.”

The second uncle was very anxious. After getting Li Yu's approval, he immediately ran to the paddy field to explain to everyone.

Li Yu saw his father running over to get the sickle in a hurry. Li Yu said to his father: "Dad, ask Haoran and Haoxian to take care of the warehouse and don't let any locusts slip in."

After thinking for a while, he said to his father: "Also, let Xiao Yuan and the others check the doors and windows at home."

The father nodded and hurried to the fields with the sickle in hand.

Li Yu saw his father's leaving figure and then walked towards the outer city.

After walking to the outer city, I saw that Lao Qin and the others were still catching locusts, but it was obvious that there were too many locusts and they could not catch them at all.

Dozens of people were beating wildly in the fields.

Some people held large nets and kept swatting at the locusts, while others went directly into the paddy fields and reached out to catch the locusts.

In the field, ducks kept flapping in the paddy fields, their wide mouths filled with locusts.

Li Yu walked down from the wall and said to everyone: "Stop, this is not the way to go. Let's harvest all the rice. Rather than being destroyed by locusts in the end, it is better to use it to feed cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks."

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Such good crops, growing so well.

It looks like it will be ready to be harvested in just a few months.

So they all advised:

"Mr. Li, let's work harder. This crop is growing well, but it would be a waste to just harvest it now."

"Yes, yes, it's such a pity. We can definitely get rid of these locusts."

"Mr. Li, don't worry, we people will get rid of these locusts even if we don't rest."

Li Yu looked at them, slowly inserted his hand into the paddy field, grabbed a handful of locusts casually, and said to everyone: "How can we catch so many locusts? Act quickly, someone will harvest them later."

The machine came over to help.

After you have harvested these rice seedlings, clean the locusts off the seedlings first, then find two rooms in the building and put them in.

It must be cleaned up, you know?”

Seeing Li Yu's persistence, no one persisted.

There were not so many sickles, but there were many knives, so those who did not get the sickles took their knives to harvest the rice seedlings.

Seeing dozens of people harvesting continuously, Li Yu felt a little emotional and heartbroken.

This season, these rice should be able to produce 30 tons, enough to feed everyone in the base for eight months!

Now it's wasted like this.

Is this not heartbreaking?

Li Yu felt better when he thought that fortunately there were 10 acres of indoor crops in the inner city of Dazhangshu Base.

More than two hundred people turned on their maximum horsepower and kept harvesting.

In one hour, with the efforts of everyone, all the rice was harvested.

But because they hadn't decided to harvest yet, by the time they harvested in the last ten minutes, the locusts were already overwhelming.

Therefore, a quarter of the rice seedlings were lost.

After everyone finished harvesting the rice seedlings, they cut off all the weeds on the flat ground and in the mountains without any pause.

A swarm of locusts covering 1 square kilometer can eat the food rations of 3.5 people in one day.

The chewing speed is extremely fast.

Li Yu's grandfather gave his old waist a hammer and said to Li Yu who was also mowing the grass: "In all my decades of living, I have only seen a locust plague once, and this is the second time.

It's just that this time the locust plague is hundreds of times greater than the last time. The last time was like a gust of wind, sparse and flew away in an hour or two. Today's locust plague, oh! There are more and more of them.

It was literally hailing.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was so hot and cold before, and now there is a locust plague again. This world is really difficult."

Li Yu straightened up, sighed, and said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, don't worry, there is always a way. There is a world where there are people."

Grandpa looked at Yutong who was cutting grass on the other side, and said to Li Yu: "You are right, there is a world for people. I want to be a grandpa."

Li Yu saw his grandfather's gaze and heard what he meant.

I think it's almost the same.

Everyone was busy for four hours, removing all the green weeds, pastures, and even green leaves all over the mountains and plains.

As long as it was beef, sheep, fish, pigs, chickens and ducks that could be eaten, they were all eaten up.

According to what Li Yu said, instead of taking advantage of these stupid locusts, it is better to cut them all off yourself.

Covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

For the younger people in the base, this was their first encounter with locusts.

Cannon looked at the sky that seemed to be covered by a black curtain and saw that the pine trees in the mountain forest were covered with locusts. He couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, this thing is really not picky about food. He will eat everything, even pine needles."

eat!"

Next to him, Li Tie twisted his soaked sweatshirt to squeeze out some sweat.

Then he said to Cannon: "My elder brother said, I will eat this thing tonight! Deep-fried and spicy."

Cannon looked at Li Tie and said: "Let's take a rest and catch the locusts later. There are so many locusts, there must be billions of them."

The two chatted, looking at the locusts all over the mountains and fields, and from time to time they swatted away some of the locusts that struck them.

In the inner and outer cities, after harvesting rice and pasture, everyone began to catch locusts.

In addition to those who catch the locusts, there are more than 20 people working on the rice and pasture, and the locusts inside will jump out one by one.

The construction of the second outer city has also been temporarily stopped. There are so many locusts, more than 20 meters tall, that it is impossible to see things in the distance.

Moreover, the locust cloud was so dense that although it did not make it dark, it still completely covered the sun.

Outside the base, some zombies were also discovered. It is still too dangerous to go out and build the outer city now.

Therefore, the construction of the second outer city was suspended.

As time goes by, there is no end in sight for these locusts.

There are dark clouds of locusts in the sky, flying southward.

This is already the sixth hour since the locusts arrived. If we simply estimate, the range of this locust should be tens or hundreds of kilometers.

All the green plants in the base have been eaten up.
