Chapter 130 Insect Extermination
"I really can't stand these swarms of insects."
Lin Fan clutched her chest as she spoke to them.
Bai Tang understood him, because some people really couldn't accept such a large number of insects.
Fortunately, Bai Tang and his team had already paved the ground in the yard with cement and sand.
Otherwise, their yard would definitely have plenty of bugs too.
Lin Fan said, "It's good that you had the foresight to seal off the land in the yard a day in advance."
Otherwise, I can't even imagine what our yard would look like.
Gu Yanxu said, "There must be a sea of insects outside right now."
Lin Fan quickly waved his hand and said, "Boss, please stop talking. I can't stand it. Just imagining that scene makes me want to vomit."
I don't even want to think about whether I'd dare to eat if those bugs crawled into our kitchen.
Gu Yanxu said bluntly, "Don't worry, when you're starving, everything tastes delicious."
Even if you were starving one day, and they gave you to eat these insects, you would still enjoy them.
Lin Fan felt increasingly nauseous as he listened, so Bai Tang reached out and handed him an orange.
Let him eat one to calm his stomach.
Take a moment to breathe in the fresh, sweet and sour scent of oranges and calm down.
Bai Tang also peeled an orange and ate some.
He casually gave one to each of them, at which point Grandpa Gu and Mother Gu Father Gu also came over.
Father Gu asked, "Should we go check the doorway to see if any bugs have come in?"
Gu Yanxu said, "No need, Dad, we've already gone to see."
Bai Tang sprinkled the insecticide powder at the doorway, preventing them from getting in for a while.
"That's fine then."
The base also sent people to clean up these bugs, but bugs kept crawling out.
They cleared out one wave, and soon another wave crawled out.
Bai Tang and his family stayed at home and didn't go out. They just sprinkled insecticide powder at the front door again before dinner.
During dinner, Bai Tang said, "Let's put up the electric fence around the wall after we finish eating."
To prevent any further problems.
Lin Fan spoke first: "Yes, yes, yes, we must surround them."
The family quickly finished their meal and gathered in the yard.
Bai Tang took out a ladder, an electric fence, and some tools from his spatial storage and handedthem to Gu Yanxu and the others.
The group of them carried their belongings and started to surround the area from the neighbor's yard.
The men were quite efficient.
In about half an hour, they had fenced off the neighboring yard.
Then they went back to their own yard and started building a wall around it.
Bai Tang looked at his RV in the yard and suddenly felt it was in the way.
Fortunately, their yard is big, so we can just leave it there; maybe we'll need it someday.
Lin Fan and his team quickly set up the electric grid again.
Actually, some people have installed it like this before, but they are very confident in their own strength.
But the sudden appearance of this horde of insects made them feel that it was better to have a greater sense of security.
Because their yard was quite large, it took Gu Yanxu and the others almost an hour to completely fence it off.
After securing the last section, Lin Feng jumped down the ladder.
Then turn on the switch to test if the circuit is fully powered.
All the power grids are now operational, so I can finally get a good night's rest.
The base is also carrying out comprehensive pest control, spraying insecticides and burning with flamethrowers.
This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause; the insects continue to crawl out of the hole.
The ground in the base is covered with tiny holes, from which insects crawl out.
But at night, far fewer of those insects crawled out.
These insects appear to be the type that rest at night.
By the time Bai Tang and his team finished cleaning up the power grid, it was already quite late.
Grandpa Gu said, "I'm going back to sleep now, you guys should get some rest too."
Mother Gu and Father Gu also went back to rest.
Bai Tang said, "Let's go and rest too. We haven't had a proper rest all day."
Gu Yanxu couldn't help but yawn: "Indeed, now that you mention it, I'm sleepy too."
Yawning is contagious, and Bai Jiyang and Lin Fan started yawning one after another.
One by one, they said, "We're going back to rest, we're so sleepy."
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu returned to the bedroom. Bai Tang told Gu Yanxu to go to the bathroom to wash up, while she went into the private room to wash up.
With the weather so hot now, they have to shower and wash their hair almost every day.
If I don't shower for a day, the smell of sweat on my body is just too overpowering.
It's so hot that you sweat even if you're sitting still, so everyone in their family takes a shower every day.
Anyway, they have enough contribution pointsto pay their utility bills.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, Bai Tang came out of the space.
I put down the towel, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in no time.
When Gu Yanxu came out of the bathroom, Bai Tang had already fallen asleep.
Seeing that Bai Tang was asleep, he quietly turned off the light and then quietly lay downnext to Bai Tang.
...
The next morning, Bai Tang finally woke up naturally.
She got up, tidied herself up, and went to the living room. She first set out breakfast for the family on the table.
Then I saw Gu Yanxu in the kitchen, who was just about to start cooking.
Bai Tang said, "I've already put the food out, don't bother, go and check at the door."
Gu Yanxu turned off the stove and went out with Bai Tang to check the situation at the door.
Gu Yanxu picked up the insecticide and the two walked to the door.
I didn't see a single bug, so the insecticide powder seems to be quite effective.
The two then went to the neighboring yard, but there were no insects at the entrance.
At this moment, Grandpa Gu came out of the house, saw the two of them, and said, "I've checked, no bugs have come in."
Bai Tang turned around and said, "Grandpa, why didn't you rest a little longer? Why did you get up so early?"
Grandpa Gu said with a smile, "I'm getting old, I can't sleep for that long anymore."
Gu Yanxu walked over and said, "Grandpa is still vigorous despite his old age."
"Then you should sleep a little longer. If you can't sleep, even just lying down with your eyes closed and resting is fine."
Grandpa Gu said, "You're just trying to give me a break in a roundabout way."
Bai Tang said, "It's mainly for my grandfather's health."
Now that you're awake, let's go eat.
Grandpa Gu walked toward their living room, saying as he went, "Okay, I'm hungry."
At this time, Mother Gu, Father Gu, and Lin Fanalso got up one after another.
While eating, Bai Jiyang said, "I dreamt about bugs all night, and it scared me awake."
Bai Tang laughed at him: "You haven't even gone out to see anything yet, how come you're already stressed?"
Lin Fan explained for him: "I understand him. It's a psychological fear. I also think about bugs in the middle of the night."
Gu Yanxu then added, "Who knows, one day we might even make you eat bugs."
The two were taken aback at first, then picked up their bowls and started eating, as if afraid that they would eat insects.
Gu Yanxu wasn't joking; he had actually eaten insects before.
Gu Yanxu thought to himself: The people in the base should find out about this soon.
