Chapter 162 Mosquito Extermination
Lin Feng let out a howl and almost burst into tears.
Canned Food meowed twice at him, as if to say:
"How come these two-legged creatures aren't as brave as me?"
Bai Tang squatted down and patted Canned Food's head, saying, " Canned Food is really amazing, I'll give you an extra meal later."
Canned Food, focused solely on snacks, immediately and happily flitted around Bai Tang.
After throwing the mutated mosquito into the trash can.
Gu Yanxu went to close all the doors and windows in the living room.
Everyone else returned to the table to continue eating, while Bai Tang brought out a bottle of medicated oil for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng applied some medicated oil to his arm, then returned to the table to continue eating.
As he ate, he said, "Now I just hope this mutant mosquito isn't poisonous."
Bai Jiyang also said, "You're in such a bad situation, Brother Lin Feng."
Lin Feng said with a wry smile, "I'm doing this to contribute to everyone."
This mutant mosquito bit me. If it's not poisonous, there's no need to be afraid.
Gu Yanxu comforted him, "Don't worry, good people are always blessed."
"These mutated mosquitoes shouldn't be poisonous, otherwise you would have fainted by now."
Lin Feng thought to himself, "Oh yeah, if I was going to faint, I would have already."
It might simply be redness, swelling, large bumps, and itching.
Bai Tang also said, "When everyone goes back after dinner, please take two coils of mosquito coils from me."
Light it when you get home to rest at night, so you don't wake up the next morning covered in welts.
Lin Fan said, "Sister-in-law, give Lin Feng two more mosquito coils later, he attracts mosquito bites."
Bai Tang said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll give Lin Feng four plates later."
I'll also give each of you a bottle of mosquito repellent.
I hope everyone sleeps soundly tonight without being disturbed by mosquitoes.
After the meal, everyone took the mosquito coils and floral water from Bai Tang and went their separate ways.
Mu Mu and Canned Food also went back to their space to rest.
Canned food can actually be left outside, but Bai Tang was worried it would get bitten by mosquitoes.
So I simply let it go back into the space with Mu Mu.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu also returned to the bedroom with lit mosquito coils.
Bai Tang, still worried, sprayed floral water all around the room.
Fortunately, the smell of the floral water wasn't too pungent, so they could tolerate it.
After a long day of harvesting crops in the fields, the two of them quickly fell asleep.
...
When they woke up the next morning, they both checked themselves and found that neither of them had been bitten by mosquitoes.
Then he got up, washed up, and came to the living room. Bai Tang had just prepared the meal when Lin Fan and the others came out of the bedroom.
Lin Fan and Bai Jiyang's tearful faces indicated that they had been bitten by mosquitoes.
Lin Fan said, "I made sure to close the windows and light mosquito coils last night."
But it seems like that mutated mosquito had been lying in wait in my room all along; I still got bitten while I was sleeping last night.
Bai Jiyang also said, "I lit two mosquito coils directly."
But it probably won't be that useful, because I got bitten too.
"Sis, look, this is a huge bump, and it's itchy."
While they were talking, Grandpa Gu and the other two came over.
Bai Tang asked, "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, did you get bitten by mosquitoes while you were resting last night?"
Grandpa Gu said first, "No, I slept very well last night."
Mother Gu and Father Gu also said, "We slept quite well last night, at least we didn't get bitten by mosquitoes."
But isn't our bed near that window?
I could hear mosquitoes buzzing outside the whole time.
Then Bai Tang said, "Everyone, please sit down and have breakfast first, and we can talk while we eat."
When everyone sat down to eat, Lin Feng said:
"After applying the medicated oil last night, the bump wasn't as itchy."
"I'll have my sister-in-law get you two bottles of medicated oil in a bit."
It's fortunate that Bai Tang and his group had stockpiled a lot of stuff beforehand.
They even have small items like medicated oil and floral water.
Moreover, the variety is complete and the styles are diverse, which can meet the needs of their family members, and there is still plenty left over.
Bai Tang said, "I'll give you both a bottle after dinner."
Then give everyone two bottles of medicated oil to carry with them.
Because I saw that Lin Feng wasn't bitten by mosquitoes last night.
I'm guessing it's most likely because the medicated oil smells too strong.
While they were eating, the base's loudspeaker broadcast an announcement:
"Attention all residents, a mutant mosquito was discovered in the base last night."
These mosquitoes are non-toxic, but they can cause large, red, swollen welts to appear on the body after a bite.
Please don't panic, our base is taking measures to control mosquitoes.
It turns out that Bai Tang and his family weren't the only ones bothered by mutated mosquitoeslast night.
The other people in the base were also bitten by the mutated mosquitoes to varying degrees.
Those people woke up the next morning to find large, red, swollen bumps all over their bodies.
Everyone was terrified, thinking they had some terminal illness.
After listening to the base's broadcast, they felt a little more at ease.
If the base did not notify this matter at the designated reporting time.
Those large, red, swollen bumps could potentially cause riots among the base's residents.
Therefore, the base leaders immediately used the broadcast to reassure everyone.
The people at the base quickly realized that it was just a mutated mosquito; they had already eaten mutated insects before.
As long as something isn't poisonous, it's their food.
However, no one chose to frantically catch mosquitoes.
One reason is that those things are too difficult to catch; they all fly very fast.
Secondly, they believe that mosquitoes, by sucking other people's blood, are very likely to transmit infectious diseases.
For these reasons, the mosquitoes didn't end up on their dinner table.
Then a series of mosquito eradication operations were launched at the base.
Bai Tang and his family also burn mosquito coils at home every day.
They also occasionally go to Base Supermarketto buy mosquito coils and daily necessities.
Most of the mosquito coils at Base Supermarketare freshly made.
Because the base doesn't store these small items; they stockpile more important things.
For example, things that benefit the country and its people, such as food, firearms, and research data, are what they prioritize stockpiling.
However, the base quickly developed a new type of mosquito repellent.
They are sold at various supermarket counters within the base, and the prices are not very high.
It was affordable for ordinary people in the base, so Bai Tang and his group bought some.
With the mosquito coils and floral water they had stockpiled, no one in their family got bitten by the mutated mosquitoes anymore.
Lin Fan and the others, in particular, wished they could soak themselves in Tiger Balm every day.
Although the scent of medicated oil is strong, it is particularly effective at repelling mosquitoes.
The base also provides essential oils to repel mosquitoes.
They also sent people to spray mosquito repellent at night while wearing protective suits.
After a series of procedures, the mosquito repellent effect was good, and the number of mutated mosquitoes near the base decreased significantly.
The people at the base were able to temporarily return to normal life.
