Infinite Disaster Survival

After leaving the extremely hot world, a fiery red ball of light appeared in the system space again, hanging in the air like a small sun.

"Welcome player Wen Zheng to enter the infinite disaster survival game!

Player: Wen Zheng

Points: 2015000

New clearance world (5/10): Death Worm, Zombie Siege, World-Destroying Flood, Infinite Nightmare, Extremely High Temperature.

Please keep up the good work and survive!"

Wen Zheng and Tuantuan each calculated the gains they made in this world. Wen Zheng did not consume many points, but later on, after researching various heat-resistant and drought-resistant crops in extreme time, he gained a lot of points.

Later, Tuantuan, who was researching mechanical content, also earned a lot of points, but he spent too many points on buying a portable space, and he was unable to replenish them until the end.

So the next time, the two of them went to different disaster worlds separately.

When he woke up again, Wen Zheng found himself standing in the middle of a group of people. He paused for two seconds, bent down to pick up the stone on the ground in front of him and put it on the side of the road where it would not block the road, and then returned to the team without arousing anyone's suspicion.

When Wen Zheng was moving the stone, he took out his cell phone and saw his appearance clearly on the reflective screen.

He was a young man in his twenties, with glasses on his face and simple, dirt-resistant clothes on his body. There were several calluses on his hands, some of which were left by frequent writing, and some were caused by working.

He had a rough estimate of the original identity. Before Wen Zheng had time to look at the people around him, he stopped with everyone else and heard someone say with a little surprise: "Teacher, it's really here!"

Wen Zheng looked up with the crowd to the west, and saw dense locusts flying from afar. The scene of gathering in the sky could make any person with intensive phobia scalp numb.

The locusts that had just crossed the mountains were lacking food to replenish their consumption. After hovering in the air for a few minutes, they aimed at a large piece of land with lush plants and fell.

The old professor in the center of the crowd pinched the corner of his clothes and rubbed them gently a few times, visually observing the locust trees that were coming, and issued the first order to respond.

"Open the door and let our locust-killing team out for dinner." After the old professor finished speaking, several people around him showed a hint of pride.

Someone took out a walkie-talkie and repeated what the professor had just said. After receiving the command, the sound of vehicles starting up sounded, and several large trucks that had been waiting for a long time set off from the houses not far away.

The drone flew up with the vehicle and broadcast the scene to everyone's mobile phone simultaneously.

Wen Zheng saw that the truck opened the door of the rear compartment after it approached the land where the locusts were. Thousands of birds, chickens and ducks got off the car and immediately flapped their wings to fly towards the group of locusts, happily sharing the delicious food.

The heads, wings and tails of these birds are all black, and only the backs and abdomens are beautiful pink. This kind of bird called pink starling is the natural enemy of locusts. It is not only a ferocious "locust-killing bird", but also a popular "pink elf". The fighting chickens followed closely behind, with thin legs and big feet, quick movements, and no less fighting power. The last yellow ducks were more well-trained, and they lined up to hunt.

They were put into the food nest, without moving their feet, and leisurely stretched their heads to hunt the locusts around them, pecking at them with their small mouths, one at a time.

They were completely unaware of the impending danger.

The old professor and his students were happily watching the live broadcast on their mobile phones, when an emergency call came in.

"Professor Zhou, not only these, but there are more locusts flying over."

The voice on the other end of the phone was particularly anxious. Professor Zhou put away his smile and frowned, and was about to ask for clarification. Wen Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reached out and snatched the intercom from the hand of the senior brother next to him. He said with a click of his finger: "Immediately evacuate with the locust-killing team. Repeat, immediately evacuate with the locust-killing team."

"Wen Zheng, what nonsense are you talking about!" The senior brother waited for Wen Zheng angrily, reaching out to snatch the intercom back from Wen Zheng's hand, and hurriedly withdraw the order issued by Wen Zheng. Even Professor Zhou was stunned by this sudden change.

But Wen Zheng would never let him get it, and even if the personnel who received the order over there were puzzled, they still followed the order to whistle the assembly, calling the locust-killing team back to the car.

Artificially bred birds can indeed act according to human commands, provided that they are not in a state of hunger to resist locusts, and are not surrounded by food. Only a small half of the locust-killing team followed the order and went back. The rest of them were eating happily in the fields, completely ignoring the commander's call.

"Stop it, give me the walkie-talkie quickly, it will be too late if you don't give it to me." The senior brother, who was only a little angry, was about to explode after failing to get the walkie-talkie back many times.

"It's too late." Wen Zheng looked into the distance, threw the walkie-talkie he had just held tightly into his senior brother's arms, leaned sideways to help Professor Zhou turn around, and shouted to the brothers and sisters next to him, "We need to get into the house quickly and hide."

Wen Zheng didn't need to explain any more. The sound of the live broadcast on the mobile phone attracted their attention. Before they could distinguish this particularly familiar sound, several clicks came out and the live broadcast room became black.

The drone crashed.

The sound in front was the sound of locusts flying.

They knew the meaning of Wen Zheng's actions and the meaning of the phone call just now.

The continuous black clouds came with the huge sound of flapping wings, and everyone who saw it couldn't help but gasp. They thought that most of the locusts had died on the way over the mountains, but they didn't expect that the ones who just arrived were just the vanguard, and the locusts that came later were more than several times the "vanguard".

Look at the boundless black, the number may be as many as ten or even dozens of times.

Swarms of locusts rushed to flowers, trees, land and even wooden fences. They greedily enjoyed delicious plants and gnawed all the food around them with their sharp teeth. The sound of flapping wings just subsided, and the sound of millions of mouths gnawing together. This sound that is difficult for humans to accurately describe makes people feel frightened even if they are separated by a distance.

The most terrifying thing is not only that, but how fast the consumption rate is when too many locusts gnaw at the same time. Often they choose a piece of grass and fly down, and after a few seconds, only bare ground is left when they fly up again.

When the black clouds began to rush down from the sky, the birds that were hunting felt the danger and quickly fled back to the car with their wings blown. The driver of the truck looked into the distance with fear in his eyes, and his heart frantically urged his body to drive away quickly, but his eyes were still looking at the locust-killing birds that had not returned to the car, and his feet were always reluctant to step on the accelerator.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The distance was rapidly shortened in the breath. In the last few seconds when the black wind composed of locusts blew into the car, the driver took a last look at the locust-killing birds that were too far away and had no time to return. He ruthlessly closed the door of the rear car, and at the same time stepped on the accelerator and kept it on, and the car sped out.

The distance between the locust swarm and the truck was too short. The black hurricane swept in from a high altitude, completely surrounding several trucks from the back to the front, and the locusts rushed to the car body and glass, making crackling sounds. The glass in front of the driver was all covered with locusts, and he couldn't see the road clearly. He could only rely on his experience and familiarity with the environment to drive towards the location of their factory.

The vehicles fled desperately, and the crowd ran back to the house at the fastest speed.

Professor Zhou was supported by Wen Zheng and his senior brother, and the other boys helped the girls to run back. They didn't go too far, but because they walked out, they couldn't keep up with the flying speed even if they ran.

The sound of locusts flying was getting closer and closer. Everyone was running forward desperately, their eyes were fixed on the house in front, and they didn't have time to look at the road under their feet. Fortunately, Wen Zheng moved the stones on the ground when he came, and there were no obstacles on the road.

Several students from the teacher's school ran into the house first. Wen Zheng saw that their steps were about to stop again, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't stop, run and close all the windows in the house." Fortunately, the buildings here are basically only one floor. If it were a high floor, it would be even worse.

Wen Zheng and his senior brother carried Professor Zhou and rushed into the room. The moment they entered, the fellow students waiting in the room immediately closed and locked the door. Letting go of Professor Zhou, who was panting heavily, Wen Zheng quickly scanned the entire house, his eyes focused on the glass, and his footsteps kept pushing the cabinets filled with materials in the house to block behind the glass.

This time he didn't need to remind them again. The fellow students who were panting to relieve their lungs that were about to explode from running violently realized that the glass here might not be very strong, so they hurried to help Wen Zheng and use the cabinets to block the glass windows in the house.

They were many people, and the room they ran into was not big, and the potential of people was not small. In a few tens of seconds, all the metal cabinets were moved behind the glass. Then there was a bang, bang, bang sound, and the sound hit the few people who were sitting on the ground to rest. They immediately jumped up and used their bodies to block the metal cabinets to strengthen this direction.

The room was pitch black, but the body could clearly feel the force of the collision outside.

"Professor Zhou, where are you now? What's the situation now?" At this time, the phone rang. As soon as Professor Zhou answered the phone, he heard an anxious voice from the other side.

Professor Zhou moved his lips a few times, and saw his students with the weak light from the phone. He swallowed the words he wanted to say temporarily, and recovered with a hoarse voice: "My students and I hid in the house in time."

After learning about the situation, the person on the other end of the phone hurriedly told Professor Zhou to pay attention to safety, block the doors and windows and gaps everywhere, and send someone to pick them up after the locusts left.

After that, the person on the other end of the phone received another message and hurriedly informed Professor Zhou that the drivers responsible for transporting the locust-killing birds were still fine, thanks to the bulletproof glass installed on the car. It's just that the driver is now trapped in the car and can't see the loss of the birds.

"It's best if people are fine." Professor Zhou murmured, but the self-blame in his tone did not reduce much.

In order to save power on their phones, no one turned on their phones after the call ended, and they just sat in the dark room.

Every second felt like an age.

Wen Zheng sat down with his back against the metal cabinet, taking advantage of the fact that no one could see each other to receive the memories of the original body.

The original body was 23 years old this year, a graduate student, and specialized in locust prevention and control with Professor Zhou.

Their school had been conducting relevant research since Professor Zhou's teacher, and was one of the best in the country in terms of locust prevention and control, especially in the field of biological control. It was from Professor Zhou that he tried to change from artificial nesting to artificial breeding of pink starlings. These students who followed Professor Zhou to study also came here to study and research.

Wen Zheng flipped through the memories of his original body and found that this world had developed a little longer than his own world, and the level of science and technology was relatively high. The country where his original body lived was similar to his country, but the name was different. In this world, it was called Yu State. The territory of the country and even the environment of each place had some minor differences, but there were not many changes in the big places.

Jinliao Province is a locust plague-prone area. At first, it was dealt with by spraying pesticides, but this method caused great pollution to the environment. Later, biological control was adopted to slowly control the locust plague. Now there may be a small locust plague every few years, but it will not become a big problem. Sometimes it has been solved in the early stage of formation.

The locust plague encountered this time was not caused locally.

The first locust plague occurred in a hot land separated by many countries, a country called Gali, where locust plagues are prone to outbreaks, but the level of locust plague prevention and control is insufficient. Every year, a certain amount of resources are spent on researching ways to deal with locust plagues.

Caracas did not take any measures to control the locust plague before it occurred. When the plague began to wreak havoc, it was found that the locusts showed more destructive power than before and quickly spread from Caracas to other small countries around it.

The locusts covered the farmland and the specially developed locust-killing agent provided by Caracas only had a little effect at the beginning, killing some locusts, but they did not kill them all in time.

The surviving locusts developed resistance to the pesticide, and the sufficient food allowed them to reproduce in large numbers. In just a few months, the size of the locusts grew to hundreds of times the size when the pesticide was effective.

The people in those countries who were cheering were dumbfounded.

They watched helplessly as nearly 70% of the food production this year was reduced, a large amount of vegetation was destroyed, and agricultural production was completely stagnant.

But the locusts were not satisfied yet, and they were still expanding around, even to another road, and spread towards the rest of the road after wreaking havoc. The disaster that originally occurred in one country has now spread to almost half of the planet. Moreover, the later the locusts are, the larger the scale will be, the weaker the destructive power will be, and the lower the effectiveness of various control methods will be.

Yu State was far away from Gary, and it was not panicked until the locust plague spread to countries close to them.

First, Yu State was close to winter, and winter was the most difficult season for locusts to survive, and they were prone to die when they encountered low temperatures. Second, according to the current flight route of locusts, if you want to enter the border of Yu State from a neighboring country, you need to cross a long and not low mountain range first. Even if locusts have wings to fly over, they need to face the low temperature and lack of food in the high altitude when crossing the mountains.

Domestic experts, including Professor Zhou and his students, have simulated many times with the locusts that broke out in Gary last year as samples, and they all think that the locust plague will not easily enter the country. After such a conclusion was released, the worried people in the country were relieved, and even joked that locusts can be eaten. If locusts dare to fly over with great difficulty, they will just roast one skewer each.

The experts came to a conclusion, but they were still a little uneasy. The country was using satellites to observe the flight trajectory of the locust plague. The large area of ​​black clouds was very conspicuous.

The flying speed of this group of locusts was not satisfactory. After wreaking havoc in the neighboring country, they not only did not rest, but also did not fly slowly. They increased their horsepower and flew towards the direction of Yu State, just to challenge the difficulty of flying over the mountains.

When the news came, Professor Zhou took his students to continue research in Jinliao Province. After a video conference, the experts still believed that there were not many locusts that could fly over the mountains. The group of birds under Professor Zhou could solve it, but just in case, other insecticide methods were also prepared.

No one expected that this group of locusts really did not follow common sense. Not only could they fly over that section of the mountain, but they also flew over in such a large number. If it weren't for the satellite monitoring and calling to remind them, they might not have had time to run back to the house.

Just now, the fierce attack of the locusts outside, even if they are not bitten to death by the locusts, they will be hit to death by the locusts if they stay outside. They, who study locust plagues, know how dangerous it is to face the locust plague directly.

Wen Zheng reviewed the memories of his original body, especially the past year, before looking at the current task posted on the system panel.

Advanced Task: Insect Plague

World Background: The black waves caused by the mutated locusts gradually swept the world, and the wings of butterflies fluttered gently. If all insects that account for nearly half of all biological species mutate, their reproduction speed increases, and their survival ability increases, how can humans avoid entering the final desperate situation...

Task Target: Survive in this world for three years.

Completion Reward: Basic Reward Points 15,000 points.

Note: Players are requested to explore the hidden tasks by themselves. After reaching the survival time, players can choose to leave the dungeon at any time.

Insect Plague...

Wen Zheng experienced what the insect plague frenzy was when he first came to this world.

Just looking at the world background, it feels like this disaster is particularly difficult, but when humans face the desperate situation brought by the disaster, what they must do is to turn the tide.

Wen Zheng read the world background back and forth several times. These few simple introductions often contain rich information. The black waves caused by locusts have been seen, but when butterflies flap their wings, does it only refer to the butterflies as insects, or does it refer to the butterfly effect.

The system should know this theory, right?

The last half of the sentence was particularly scary. Wen Zheng couldn't imagine what the world would look like when all insects' ability to survive and reproduce was improved. I'm afraid that humans would not be able to survive at that time.

Three years, three years, that's probably the time it takes for all insects to complete their mutation.

Wen Zheng was still thinking with his head down. Someone finally spoke in the dark house with only breathing sounds: "Do you feel that there is no movement outside?"

When someone spoke, the originally suppressed breathing sounds in the house returned to normal. After carefully feeling that there was indeed no force coming from outside, the sound outside was almost inaudible, and then someone moved his numb body.

Professor Zhou coughed lightly, and everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound. A junior sister gently moved away from the cabinet door where she was, and another senior sister continued to bear the burden. She took out her mobile phone to light up and walked to the switch and pressed it.

The light in the room was not on.

It was probably that the wires were broken by the locusts.

But everyone's cell phones still had a lot of power, enough for lighting. The power was off, the wireless network was off, but the cell phones still had signals, and they could still log on to the Internet using data.

Everyone looked at each other, afraid of what they were about to see, but not wanting to know anything about the current situation.

The first person to open his cell phone was Professor Zhou, but he was too good at using it, and he handed the phone directly to his senior brother Kang Yihang. The senior brother skillfully transferred the official account that would not spread various false news, and then directly read the announcement on it.

Only from the satellite photos can you see how many locusts there are. Wherever they go, there is really no grass left. Not only no grass, but also wood products, cloth, and even animals and even people, can't survive after being surrounded by the black hurricane.

Even though locusts are herbivorous insects, they are so hungry that they even eat their own kind, not to mention animals and people.

Now this group of locusts has not eaten enough, and is moving along the road towards the warm south. If they are allowed to pass like this, the locust plague will be completely out of control.

The country has decided to keep this group of locusts in Jinliao Province, and is urgently preparing various locust control measures. It has also notified residents in areas where locusts are expected to pass through major news media to hide in sturdy houses as soon as possible, close doors and windows, keep mobile phones turned on, and wait until they hear the news before going out.

The official account also reminded everyone that locusts, commonly known as grasshoppers, can be eaten, but when they form a locust plague, they will produce toxic substances in their bodies due to the stimulation of living in groups, and humans cannot eat them.

After reading this official news to the end, it is inevitable that a few comments from netizens will be brought out by sliding your fingers.

"Didn't that group of 'experts' say that the locust plague would never come? As a result, it came. If they had avoided it in advance, there would not be so many casualties now."

"Who would have thought that this group of locusts really flew over that mountain range alive? Theoretically, it is impossible."

"This group of locusts must have mutated!"

The first three comments appeared on the screen. Kang Yihang scanned the first one and quickly swiped away. He didn't dare to look at the teacher, and didn't know what to say.

The room suddenly fell silent. Wen Zheng was just thinking about what topic to talk about when Professor Zhou called again. This time, he was asking for help.

"Professor Zhou, the mutation of locusts this time is beyond all of our expectations. Whether it is biological control or chemical locust control, you are an expert in this field, so we would like to invite you to participate in this discussion and discuss the most appropriate locust control method as soon as possible." The other party finished speaking quickly and sent Professor Zhou a link to a video conference.

Senior brother Kang Yihang quickly helped click the link to enter the meeting. The signal was better at this time. After seeing the faces of the participants in the meeting, Professor Zhou was in a trance for a while, and then he devoted all his attention to the meeting, determined to save the disaster caused by his negligence as much as possible.
