Chapter 68: Cockfly's First Test of Clouds and Rain
It was already approaching late at night, and most dormitories had already gone to bed or had their lights turned off.
Therefore, the shrill voice of the grumpy boy was so penetrating in the dark night that several dormitories in the next building turned on their lights.
This is true for the alumni around me, let alone my roommates in the same dormitory.
Chang Licheng and another roommate were completely awakened by the angry boy's roar.
I saw Chang Licheng rubbing his eyes and yawning and asked:
"Leon, what's going on with you? What cockroach walk..."
As he spoke, Chang Licheng, who only heard three or four parts of Leon's words clearly, paused slightly and suddenly said:
"Oh, I understand, Xu Shen's cockroach medicine worked, right? Did any cockroaches die?
Look at your courage, a little cockroach scares you like this, but you are still a Ludong man, are you worthy of the Liangshan heroes of your ancestors?"
When Leon heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face:
"Squad leader, forget about Water Margin. You can't even ask Monkey King from Journey to the West to come. Do you know what's going on outside?"
Without waiting for Chang Licheng to reply, Leon made a gesture with his hands and pointed to the corner of the dormitory:
"The three-meter-wide aisle has cockroaches on both sides near the wall! From 401 all the way to at least 420, the rows look like army ants. Think about it for yourself!"
Chang Licheng was stunned at first, and subconsciously wanted to refute. After all, this picture really challenged the three views:
"That's not right, then let me ask you, when our dormitory door is closed, there is no crack at the bottom, so I can understand why cockroaches can't get in.
But what about those few seconds when you opened the door? Isn’t this thing able to squeeze through every crack?
If the edges of the corridor are full of cockroaches as you said, then a dozen of them can't come in at this time?"
Leon opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but soon found that he really couldn't explain Chang Licheng's question, so he could only mumble:
"But they are indeed all cockroaches, at least thousands or tens of thousands..."
"Monitor, what Lao Lei said seems to be true."
Just when Chang Licheng was still about to say something, Fu Ming suddenly interrupted. He raised his phone. The main interface was the professional group:
"Look at your phone, everyone in the group is talking about this."
Chang Licheng heard this and quickly took out his mobile phone.
As Fu Ming said, at this moment, this small professional group of only a few dozen people is refreshing the screen at an extremely high frequency.
There are also a few video clips flashed through, and almost every word is about cockroaches.
[Chen Xingyu]: "I'm fuckin' fuck, what's this thing out there? Biohazard????"
[Hu Qing]: “Don’t open the door, you will do so at your own risk!!!!!”
[Gao Yang]: "I'm so stupid. We slept late in our dormitory and the door was never closed. The cockroaches ran around for five minutes before they realized something was wrong..."
[Chen Xingyu]: "Are you as miserable as me? I just went out to take out the trash, but the light at the door was broken. After walking a few steps, I realized that something was not right around me. Do you know the feeling of thousands of cockroaches crawling across my slippers?
?Now I have been forced by my roommate to use washing powder to paint my feet T.T..."
As he was talking, Chen Xingyu suddenly sent a video: "This was taken when I returned to the dormitory. If you want to believe it, take a look. If you don't believe it, you are welcome to open the door and verify it in person? (′∪`●)ゝ"
[Jiang Biguo]: "...So why do you still want to make videos?"
[Chen Xingyu]: "[Complex Mood Emoticon], it was already dirty at that time, so it didn’t matter...-=????=??????(′Д`)?"
Chang Licheng first issued an ellipsis, and then clicked on Chen Xingyu's video out of curiosity.
The video content is very short, less than ten seconds, but the picture is quite exciting:
The mobile phone was placed at the height of an adult man's neck. Although there was a street light that was malfunctioning, which made the vision a little dim, but with the help of a further light, you could see that densely packed cockroaches were constantly scurrying out of the stairs.
He rushed towards the garbage dump in the middle of the floor like crazy.
The traveling route of these cockroaches is only in the corners or on the ground. Even if they pass through individual dormitories with open doors, there is no turning point to enter.
Of course.
Not all cockroaches are heading to the garbage dump, either.
Some of the cockroaches that escaped from the dormitory with the door opened may have been poisoned by the cockroach poison in the dormitory, which caused many of the same kind to do shameful things on the road.
As the saying goes.
If there are more than a thousand soldiers, there will be no borders; if there are more than ten thousand soldiers, there will be no borders; if there are more than ten thousand soldiers, there will be no borders.
This saying can also be applied to cockroaches at this time, so it is difficult to estimate how many cockroaches there are by watching the video.
With the video evidence in front of him, combined with the strange monkey-like screams outside, Chang Licheng was 98% convinced.
The remaining two points are not so much disbelief as they are the rigor of science students - after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
While Chang Licheng was watching the video, Fu Ming suddenly caught a glimpse of something.
I saw him let out a sigh, walked quickly to the balcony entrance, and turned on the balcony light:
"I'll wipe it, monitor, look at the balcony!"
Chang Licheng said aloud and looked at the situation.
At this moment, there were more than ten cockroaches gathered together on the floor of the dormitory balcony, one layer after another, as if they were doing something like stacking Arhats.
Looking at the obviously estrous cockroach with its wings raised high, Chang Licheng suddenly understood some of what Xu Yun said:
Close the doors and windows of the balcony before going to bed, put away as much clothes as possible in advance, and try to apply glue bait on the cockroach droppings near the balcony, and do not apply it in the dormitory...
"By the way, Xu Shen!"
After Xu Yun's name popped up in his mind, Chang Licheng remembered this "mastermind".
He didn't care that it was too late and immediately dialed Xu Yun's number.
After a moment, Xu Yun's voice came from the microphone:
"Hey, Li Cheng? Why don't you go to bed so late?"
"It's me, Xu Shen, what are you doing here?"
"I'm writing a paper, what's going on?"
"It's like this. The cockroach poison you gave seems to be working..."
"Oh, this is a good thing. You will probably see a lot of dead cockroaches when you wake up."
Gulu.
Chang Licheng swallowed hard and said:
"Xu Shen, it seems that you don't need to wake up anymore. Now... Well, let me tell you, the entire corridor is full of cockroaches now, there are not tens of thousands but thousands of them."
Hearing this, Xu Yun, who was still working on his thesis, was stunned, put down his pen and said:
"What do you mean?"
"It's the entire corridor, starting from the entrance to the stairs, and the cockroaches are lining up like ants..."
At the desk, Xu Yun's eyes widened the more he listened.
"...Wait a minute, let me ask you, how much gel bait did you put out?"
Chang Licheng was silent for a few seconds:
"Xu Shen, you only told me how much to use on the balcony of the dormitory, but you didn't mention how much to apply in the public areas.
At that time, Lao Ye saw the dark cockroach droppings in the trash can. The number was many times that of the dormitory, so he thought that the size of rice grains might not be enough. In addition, we read on the encyclopedia that the lethality of Cockroach Forest seems to be
With drug resistance, I squeezed in a little more..."
Listening to Chang Licheng's intermittent tone, Xu Yun suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Previously, he considered that the distance from the dormitory in the East District would be troublesome, and that the actual experiment might need to be repeated many times and in multiple locations, so Xu Yun specially gave Chang Licheng some more glue bait - after all, this stuff can't be poisoned to death and can't be sold for money, so he stored it
It’s not difficult either:
"I gave you two large syringes of 150 ml. How many did you two use?"
"...Well, it's all plastered on, half the wall is painted..."
"...WTF??!!"
.......
And at the same time Xu Yun and Chang Licheng were talking on the phone.
Fu Ming on the side looked at the comments urging updates that kept popping up in the comment area, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed:
"It's really not my fault for what happened today..."
As he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He quickly pulled up the group chat, found the saved video that Chen Xingyu had taken before, and sent it through the ‘Easter Egg Chapter’ function of Qidian Novel:
"You may not believe it, but I was frightened by cockroaches today..."
