Doomsday Catastrophe

Chapter 960 Locust Outbreak

Li Keyi has been doing nothing recently, because she suddenly couldn't find a research direction. Before that, Li Keyi wanted to study how to make evolutionary crystals, but she had already completed this goal last year. Yes, I didn't even think about what I should study next.

Therefore, when he was free every day, Li Keyi wandered around the city, and sometimes even took people to the south to observe the planting situation.

The food in Yuzhou has now achieved self-sufficiency, thanks to the method of farming, which is also different. In the plain area of ​​Yuzhou, it is regarded as a military village, while in the mountains, it is a civilian village. In short, most of the food is It is in the hands of the city lord's mansion, and the currency in Yuzhou is food stamps.

It happened that Xu Xing hadn't gone out recently, so Li Keyi took Xu Xing out by the way, and also cared about Xu Xing's marriage. Xu Xing is now in her twenties, an old girl, and now At this time, she was not married yet, which was an abnormal thing, so many people speculated that Xu Xing was interested in Shen Feng.

Li Keyi and Xu Xing's going out did not alarm too many people. It's not that Li Keyi's status in Yuzhou is not important enough, but that the strength of these two people doesn't need to be worried at all. Xu Xing is now six. She is a person with supernatural powers, which is a peak among the superhuman beings, and Li Keyi is a person with seventh-level supernatural abilities. She is rare in the world, and her strength is unfathomable. She is the only one in Yuzhou except Shen Feng. The strongest supernatural beings, these two travel together, no one can hurt them at all.

"Xu Xing, you are a well-deserved Xingxian in the eyes of many people. You are not married at this time, but you will be pointed out by many people. So at this time, you are still young, You should also quickly find a suitable husband, if you don't believe me, take a look at Luo Qing, she has been smiling every day since she got married." When driving to the mountainous area in the south, Li Keyi couldn't help but persuade Xu Xing .

Xu Xing replied: "Then what, I don't have any feelings for a group of stinky men. None of them are worthy of me, so I will never say such things in the future."

What Li Keyi didn't expect was that she would finally get such an answer. The reason why Xu Xing didn't marry for a long time was because there was no man she could fancy. Those who are capable, such people are naturally arrogant, and there are always very few men who can be seen by her.

"Then you can't die alone, can you? I remember that there are several young men in the special operations team you lead who are not yet married. They have been following you to suppress bandits for a long time. Aren't they excellent?" Li Keyi continue to ask.

Li Keyi replied: "Let's not talk about these people. Although they are my team members, they are relatively good, but I have no feelings for them. Instead, I like to be with girls. You don't understand this feeling." , Many girls have delicate thoughts, they will care about your every move, and understand what you think in your heart."

Li Keyi was shocked when she heard this description, because she felt that she knew a very important thing. In these years, Xu Xing has never been married. Most people think that Xu Xing's eyes are higher than the top, or she likes it. She is someone she shouldn't like, but the truth of the matter is not like this, because Xu Xing actually has feelings for girls.

"I didn't expect Xu Xing to be such a woman. I have to stay away from Xu Xing in the future, otherwise, she might want to attack me." Li Keyi thought to himself immediately.

And Xu Xing really had admiration for the girl before. This girl was none other than Qi Yunfang. When the two of them parted in Yanshan, they were still reluctant to part. Originally Xu Xing wanted to visit Qi Yunfang in the future, but She never expected that Qi Yunfang died at sea later, and the two of them didn't even have time to maintain communication.

Xu Xing misses Qi Yunfang very much, and she always treasures the bundle of hair that Qi Yunfang gave her and never gave it up.

After Li Keyi and Xu Xing entered the mountain, they soon arrived at a stockade. After verifying their identities, the guards in the stockade quickly opened the gate of the stockade.

The styles in the mountains are completely different from those on the northern plains, because farming in the plains is protected by the army, but farming in the mountains is purely on your own, but there are many mutant beasts in the mountains. The existence of mutated beasts is definitely a factor that threatens the survival of human beings, so over time, stockades have formed in the mountains. The actions in these stockades are all regulated, and ordinary people cannot enter these stockades at all.

Yuzhou's attitude towards these villages is very simple, that is, as long as the food can be handed over every year, it is enough. As for how to survive in the mountains, Yuzhou will not interfere at all. The people who originally farmed in the mountains are the victims of disasters everywhere , These disaster victims are all united according to the region, and only unity can deal with the threat of mutant beasts.

The appearance of Li Keyi and Xu Xing aroused a warm welcome from the village head in the village. He brought the main management personnel of the village to welcome him, and put his posture very low. It is obvious that at this time, They didn't dare to offend Xu Xing and Li Keyi at all.

"The Goddess of Light and the Apricot Immortal are here. Our place is full of splendor. I don't know what business you two have come to our village? The wheat has not been harvested yet, and it seems that it is not the time to pay the public grain at this time. "The village head couldn't help but start asking at this time, he wanted to know what happened to these two important figures in Yuzhou.

Li Keyi explained: "We are not here to urge you to pay the public rations, we are here to play, remember, it is not an inspection, it is pure play. Don't worry about it, we are just walking in the mountains in the south Enough."

Li Keyi said it very easily at this time, but everyone didn't dare to take it seriously, because Li Keyi and Xu Xing's status is here, and the two of them can be casual, but the people in the village can't It's really casual, otherwise, once the two of them get serious, they will face a catastrophe.

So Li Keyi and Xu Xing stayed in the stockade, preparing to wait until the next day to continue walking in the mountains, and the village immediately sent them various delicacies to entertain them, and there were several female soldiers beside them. , For each dish, the female soldiers taste it first, and after half an hour, everyone sits down to eat together, this is to prevent someone from being poisoned.

While Li Keyi and Xu Xing were eating, they suddenly heard that someone was coming outside the stockade. The stockade has a defensive function. If it is breached, everyone in the stockade will be in danger, so most people need to ask for their identity before they can enter the stockade.

"Village Chief, it's Maike who's here. There are a lot of people here. There are more than a hundred people." The people on the tower then began to answer towards the rear.

The defensive function of the stockade has been clearly revealed at this time. If it were an ordinary village, more than a hundred people would break in even if they forced their way in. But with the walls of the stockade, it is not so easy for ordinary people to get in. .

Hearing this answer, the village head shouted loudly to the top of the tower: "Now the wheat is not yet ripe, they came early, and it will take half a month to harvest, they came early."

"Mike? There are also foreigners appearing in a group?" Li Keyi was very puzzled when he heard this name. He couldn't help looking at Xu Xing and asked, "Do you know what this means?"

At any rate, Xu Xing has been traveling abroad for these years, and he knows the meaning of this term, so he immediately replied: "It's not Mike, it's a guest who harvests wheat. Guests who help others harvest wheat in exchange for money, but this is not the name in many places, judging from their current names, most of them are Hanzhong people."

"Hanzhong? It's hundreds of kilometers away from here, right? The roads are also difficult to walk. It's strange that they came here to help harvest the wheat." Li Keyi couldn't help but said.

The village chief ordered the people on the tower not to open the door. There is still a long time before the wheat field will mature. left.

Xu Xing didn't quite understand the reason, so she sent a group of people to the mountains in the south of Yuzhou to help harvest the wheat, so she waved to the village chief and said, "Village chief, come here, we have a few questions to ask." If you want to ask, please enlighten me."

"Don't dare! Everyone in our village depends on Lord Fengshen to survive, so what can I teach you? As long as you two have something you want to ask, just ask. If we know, we will definitely answer you." After hearing what Xu Xing said just now, the village head immediately felt panic.

Xu Xing asked: "These people come to help you harvest, what tools do they use? Harvesters?"

"What kind of harvester? I just rely on the sickle that I carry with me. Some people don't have a sickle, and they work with all their strength. If there is a harvester, they probably won't come all the way to beg for food. .” The village head quickly replied.

Only then did Xu Xing realize that she was wrong. She was still misled by her previous naive thoughts. Many years ago, Xu Xing had heard that many people drove harvesters all over the world, so she subconsciously I think these people are the same as before, but if there is a harvester, more than a hundred people will not come to the mountains to harvest, right?

"Then why do these people come here?" Xu Xing continued to ask.

"Hey, if it wasn't for a disaster, who would want to leave their hometown? Although in the past, it was also helped by Mai Ke, after all, it was to be harvested, and everyone would not refuse, but this year it was half a month earlier, and now there is no wheat yet. When it was harvest time, these people had already arrived. I heard that locusts appeared in the north. They were not ordinary locusts. I heard that they were mutated locusts. The wheat in the north matured later. As a result, when the locusts appeared, what happened to the wheat? All of them were eaten, so there is a famine!" The village chief was also a little emotional when he talked about this incident.

There are currently more than 10 million people in Yuzhou, and most of them are people who have escaped from other places. In five or six years, Yuzhou has also reached a saturation point in accepting disaster victims. There are disaster victims, and it is impossible to recruit farmland. If you want to survive, you have to figure out a way yourself.

The village chief also thought of his own experience. Fortunately, he escaped early, otherwise, he would have fled to Yuzhou now, and he would not even have the chance to farm.

"What? Mutated locusts have appeared? This is terrible!" Li Keyi, who was on the side, was taken aback when she heard this. Now she knew that a new disaster had appeared.

There have been no locust plagues in China for decades, thanks to the control of the source of the locust plagues. When the upper reaches of the Yellow River have been well managed, the occurrence of locust plagues is no longer large-scale, and locust plagues are generally accompanied by Droughts appear because locusts don't like too much water. Once the water conservancy facilities are fully built, locust plagues will not break out.

However, after the end of the day, humans have not built water conservancy facilities for more than ten years. Many reservoirs and dams have been abandoned. Coupled with the drought in the north for years, the locust plague finally appeared. Moreover, these locusts are not ordinary locusts. , but the mutated locust.

When he heard that there was a locust plague in the north, Li Keyi immediately realized that something was wrong. If the locust plague continued to appear, once the locusts appeared in the Yuzhou area, the food in Yuzhou would be exhausted.

"This important news and intelligence team didn't report at all. Lin Yue is really damned. We will rush back to Yuzhou immediately after dinner. We must hurry up!" Li Keyi realized that something was wrong, so he quickly turned to Xu Xing Said.
