The residents were sleeping in a daze. The first reaction was that the earthquake had occurred again, so they all woke up the people around them, called their family members, held the children, and ran into the bathroom with a familiar dragging thick sofa cushions or a long table.

,                                                              �

I only found out after hiding that the building did not seem to shake. What was the loud noise just now? Where did it come from?

At the same time, the source of the loud noise - the 14th floor, to be precise, it should be between the 13th and 14th floors. The earth-shaking loud noise made the people in the room jump up.

They were too close to each other, of course they could tell that it was not an earthquake, but something collapsed in the house.

The family of three on the 14th floor immediately came out of the room. After turning on the lights, the daughter screamed and quickly took two steps towards the room behind her. She saw a big hole collapsed downwards in the originally huge living room.

The collapsed hole is about one meter wide and nearly two meters long. Along the walls of the dining room and living room, the sofas and cabinets that were originally placed against the wall have fallen down the collapsed ground, even the partitions

The walls are half missing.

Because more than ten floors are all split-level high, each floor is very high, and the collapsed building is equivalent to hitting the living room of a family below from the height of two floors, and then making such a loud noise.

The living room was filled with dust from the walls and the dust after the building was broken, and they coughed.

The family of three looked at the living room where a big hole was missing. Before they could react, their daughter called her parents and ran towards them.

"There are ants! Mom! Dad! So many ants!"

The dust of the wall dissipated, and countless "ants" crawled out from the broken walls, some dark brown and some white.

Like running water, they crawled out of the faults on the walls, poured out towards the walls and ceilings next to them, and even towards the thirteenth floor under the faults.

The family of three seemed to have seen a ghost, and they didn't care about wearing shoes, and even forgot to take their phones. They turned around and escaped from the door, and shouted at the same time to help.

When You Xi arrived, the 14th floor and the 13th floor that was affected were already in chaos.

The cry of the child, the screams of adults, the quarrels... they were all mixed together, and the air was filled with a strong smell of insecticide, and the one that You Xi had smelled at the 14th floor resident's house.

Strange smell.

Those "ants" are slightly larger than ordinary ants, with an astonishing number, as if they were brewing for a long time. As the fault spreads from the 14th floor to the 13th floor, and then spreads to other residences on these two floors, some of them have even climbed to the stairs.

On the top, there is a tendency to continue to spread to the up and down floors.

The insecticide can even kill cockroaches and mosquitoes after they become enlarged, but it seems that the effect on this "ants" is not very good.

The 13th floor was innocently affected, and a large hole collapsed on the ceiling of the living room, cement blocks, sofa cabinets, and walls fell one after another. The living room of this house was even more chaotic than the 14th floor, with building fragments and "ants" everywhere.

"This is not an ant! This is a termite!" Xu Yan also rushed over. The floor he lived in was low, unlike other floors closer to these two floors, which were awakened by loud noises from the beginning. "These termites should also be

It has mutated. The food that was missing in the house was placed in the wooden cabinet that fell down, and it is probably related to termites."

You Xi roughly understood that the termite colony climbed out of the partition wall panel on the 14th floor, because this wall was made by residents on the 14th floor, which was found by themselves in the later stage. The material was different from the building materials of the entire building, and they didn't know it.

Something went wrong, there were such a large nest of termites living inside.

Although these termites have not changed much in size, they have definitely mutated, otherwise they would not even eat human food.

Termites secrete formic acid. Termites before mutation can even eat silver. After mutation, they secrete formic acid directly in the food and then eat it cleanly. Then they go back to the wall along the gaps in the wooden cabinet. There will be no clue left at all.

.

Such a large number of termites will not form by themselves. It is estimated that there should be queens in the broken wall. Queens mutated and produced termites in large quantities. The number of termites was too large, and eventually the interior of the building was empty, which caused this collapse.

ACCIDENT.

In the eyes of other residents, the family on the 14th floor was the culprit, so they naturally caught a angrily scolding.

"Call the rescue phone number first!" You Xi took out his cell phone, "We can't clean up so many termites at all, and we can't even control them. If they spread to the entire building, at their reproductive speed, the building will sooner or later

Being crippled.”

Fortunately, the situation was different this time. This time the request for help was accepted. After recording the situation and address, the other party said that the rescue team would soon land directly on the rooftop to prepare them.

After making a phone call like this, the termite colony had already climbed along the wall towards the 12th floor. The residents of the 12th had already woken up. The closest to the stairwell was the one that had made a rant in the past.

The parents of this family screamed in shock when they saw the densely packed termites. Their children had already woken up and were ordered by their parents not to come out. They didn't care about it now and ran out in slippers.

Surprisingly, behind the child, a turtle the size of a washbasin was actually followed.

Cold-blooded animals originally had no IQ, but at this moment, the turtle was like a domestic puppy, following the child at all times, and even opened its mouth to bite when the child ran to the parents and stopped moving.

His trousers were pulled towards the direction of the house.

That posture was like a smart puppy sensing the danger ahead and was warning the little master to ask him to go home quickly.

Fortunately, the parents found that the child ran out, and were stimulated by termites, and immediately carried the child to the house. However, the termites did not walk on the ground and moved directly from the wall on the 13th floor to the ceiling of the corridor on the 12th floor.

And heading towards their house.

Soon, the door of their house was covered with densely packed termites. The father took a step back and didn't know whether to open the door and enter the house or take his family directly to escape.

But their home is here, and it is so dangerous outside, where can they escape?

Just when they were at a loss, the tortoise that was originally following them crawled towards the door, then opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue and licked hard at the door, licked a bunch of termites, and then put it into his mouth, swallowed it twice

.

You Xi, who happened to go downstairs to see this scene:...

The child's parents were completely stunned, but the six or seven-year-old boy struggled from his father and shouted at the turtle: "Xiaowu is so great! I'll eat all the ants so we can go back.

Home!"

The turtle seemed to understand it, looked back at the boy, then opened his mouth and began to lick the door several times the speed just now.

After licking the place where he could reach it, the turtle looked at the other termites above the door panel, tilted his little head and seemed to fall into deep thought. After a moment, it stopped licking, opened its mouth, stretched its half of its tongue, and stood there motionlessly.

A very strange smell seemed to be heard from the air. The family of three didn't smell it, but You Xi felt it keenly.

Soon, she found that the termites that were originally gathered on the door panel and began to chew on the wood turned around and crawled towards the turtle's tongue. In this way, every time the turtle's tongue crawled with a bunch of termites, it ate it twice.

, then stick out your tongue.

The tongue was like a induced rod that emitted an inducible rod. After repeated several times, I finally finished eating all the termites near the door. Finally, the turtle burped.

The child's parents:...

Youxi:...

Ten minutes later, several members of the rescue, with several experts in protective suits, landed on the roof of their building on a helicopter. The experts all brought very professional tools and were skillful in movements, even if they saw them all.

The termites on the wall did not react in panic either.

The captain who led the team was an acquaintance. He had been to their two districts twice before, and both You Xi and Xu Yan recognized him.

The other party also remembered them. After approaching, they took off their protective masks, nodded at them, and then told other panicked residents that the team was experts in termite killing. This type of termite has not appeared for the first time.

There have been several places where the same termite crisis has occurred, all during the past or two days.

Moreover, the incubation period in the front was very long. It was not until the walls or floors collapsed that they discovered that termites had grown to an astonishing number, and ordinary people could not cope with it.

They also studied and improved several times before they developed this effective drug, not killing, but tempting, luring all termites into the box they brought.

The effect of this inducement is stronger than the effect of the turtle just now. Termites flocked to it like flowing water, rushing to climb into the box brought by the expert.

Twenty minutes later, the termites that had spread to 15 floors and 12 floors were cleaned up.

But the expert did not leave, but instead took out a smaller box, came to the 14th floor where termites appeared, and continued to wait.

After waiting for another five minutes, a huge white worm that was more than ten times the size of other termites crawled out of the broken wall on the 14th floor.

The insect looked like a silkworm, but its head was very small. It twisted and wriggled, and finally crawled in through the small hole in the box.

"This, this is..." The resident on the 14th floor was so scared that his teeth trembled.

"This is the queen of ant. It reproduces the termite colony. Generally, there is only one queen in a termite colony." An expert replied, "Don't worry, the queen of ant has come out, and there will be no more termites in the future."

But how could they rest assured? As soon as they think of the fact that there are so many termites hidden in the home where they live every day, and a fat queen who keeps laying eggs, they are very afraid and even dare not step into the house. They always feel that some

There are still bugs hidden in every corner.

After staying for half an hour, the rescue team solved the termite crisis and then began to clean up the possible termite eggs in the broken wall. However, the termite eggs were the same as before they had not mutated. If they left the care of the ant colony, they would not be incubated.

Conditions will die soon.

They were just cautious in their work and didn't want to come once but left hidden dangers, so they finally removed the entire partition wall, and took all the half and some debris from the living room on the 13th floor to the top floor to burn and destroy.

Finally, they checked other parts of the building up and down, and confirmed that there were no other termites with inducements, and then they used the walkie-talkie to contact the helicopter and asked the helicopter to come back to pick up the person.

The Gou brothers and some others also watched the whole process. When they saw the rescue team members leaving, they couldn't help but follow them to the top floor.

Xu Yan and You Xi had already reacted earlier and were talking to the captain on the roof. What they were asking about was naturally the situation outside.

Although the Internet is developed now, many truly useful information cannot be seen from the Internet alone.

Their questions were very skillful, and the captain did not give a positive answer, but the general meaning revealed that in the short term, S City will maintain the status quo. At present, some people have left S City to other cities with better situations.

The rescue team will not leave. They perform rescue missions every day, but due to various restrictions, the rescue efforts cannot be as strong as before.

At present, the most serious impact on the rapid growth of plants in S City is the urban area. The situation in the suburbs is actually OK, and the lanes are not completely unavailable.

But if you leave the city, it means giving up the assistance of airdrop materials and rescue teams. Because of the current situation in the city, people's lives are in various difficulties, and the official has put most of their strength here.

As for the other part of the force, it was put into the shelter.

In short, after the previous lesson, their current approach is mainly to ease and detour. Of course, they have been preparing for both ways. If they really can't stay in the city in the later stage, they will eventually have to withdraw.

But as we all know, the living conditions of the shelter are too many people after all, and only one shelter can be provided for the time being.

You Xi could hear what the other party meant. The two thanked each other. The helicopter came soon. The other party nodded at them and put on the protective mask again and left.

After the helicopter left, Xu Yan and You Xi saw several people standing at the entrance of the stairs.

Gou Yaoyang took the lead and said: "Wait until tomorrow morning, call the people in the group to have a meeting."

Everyone understands it.
