Chapter 116 The Collapse Crisis

Jinjiang Literature City is unique

The residents were sleeping in a daze. Their first reaction was that the earthquake had occurred again. They all woke up the people around them, called their families, held their children, and ran into the bathroom with thick sofa cushions or long tables, and hid under them.

It was only after hiding, but I found that the building did not seem to be shaking. What happened to the loud noise just now? Where did it come from?

At the same time, the source of the loud noise on the 14th floor, to be precise, it should be between the 13th and 14th floors. The earth-shaking loud noise made the people in the room jump up.

They were too close to each other, of course they could tell that it was not an earthquake, but something collapsed in the house.

The family of three on the 14th floor immediately came out of the room. After turning on the light, the daughter screamed and quickly took two steps towards the room behind her. She saw a big hole collapsed downwards in the originally huge living room.

The collapsed hole is about one meter wide and nearly two meters long. Along the walls between the dining room and the living room, the sofas and cabinets that were originally placed against the wall have fallen along the collapsed ground, and even the partitioned walls are half missing.

Because there are all high-rise over ten floors, each floor is very high, and the collapsed building is equivalent to hitting the living room of a family below from the height of two floors, and then making such a loud noise.

The living room was filled with dust from the walls and the dust after the building was broken, which made them cough.

The family of three looked at the living room where a big hole was missing. Before they could react, their daughter called her parents and ran towards them.

"There are so many ants with the ant mother."

The dust of the wall dissipated, and countless "ants" crawled out from the broken walls, some dark brown and some white.

Like running water, they crawled out of the faults on the walls, poured out towards the walls and ceilings next to them, and even towards the thirteenth floor under the faults.

The family of three seemed to have seen a ghost, and they didn't care about wearing shoes, and even forgot to take their phones. They turned around and escaped from the door, and shouted at the same time to help.

When You Xi arrived, the 14th floor and the 13th floor that was affected were already in chaos.

The cry of the child, the terrifying screams of adults, and the quarrels were all mixed together. The air was filled with a strong smell of insecticide, and the strange smell that You Xi had smelled at the 14th floor resident's house.

Those "ants" are slightly larger than ordinary ants, with an astonishing number, as if they were brewing for a long time. As the fault spreads from the 14th floor to the 13th floor, and then spreads to other residences on these two floors, some of them have even climbed up the stairs, and they are still spreading toward the up and down floors.

The insecticide can even kill cockroaches and mosquitoes after they become enlarged, but it seems that the "ants" are not very effective.

The 13th floor was innocently affected, and a large hole collapsed on the ceiling of the living room, cement blocks, sofa cabinets, and walls fell one after another. The living room of this house was even more chaotic than the 14th floor, with building fragments and "ants" everywhere.

"This is not an ant, this is a termite." Xu Yan also rushed over. The floor he lived in was low, unlike other floors that were closer to these two floors, which were awakened by loud noises from the beginning. "These termites should have mutated too. The missing food in the house was placed in the wooden cabinet that fell down, which was related to termites."

You Xi roughly understood that the termite colony crawled out of the partition wall panel on the 14th floor, because this wall was made by residents on the 14th floor, which was found by themselves in the later stage. The material was different from the building materials of the entire building. I don’t know what went wrong, and there was such a large nest of termites living inside.

Although these termites have not changed much in size, they have definitely mutated, otherwise they would not even eat human food.

Termites secrete formic acid. Termites before mutation can even eat silver. After mutation, they secrete formic acid directly in the food and then eat it cleanly. Then they go back to the wall along the gaps in the wooden cabinet, and no clues will be left.

Such a large number of termites will not form by themselves. It is estimated that there should be queens in the broken wall. Queens of the ant mutates and mass produces termites. There are too many termites, which eventually empty the inside of the building, which caused this collapse accident.

In the eyes of other residents, the family on the 14th floor was the culprit, so they naturally caught a angrily scolding.

"Call the rescue phone number first." You Xi took out his cell phone, "We can't clean up so many termites at all, and we can't even control them. If they spread to the entire building, at their reproductive speed, the building will sooner or later be destroyed."

Fortunately, the situation was different this time. This time the request for help was accepted. After recording the situation and address, the other party said that the rescue team would soon land directly on the rooftop to prepare them.

After making a phone call like this, the termite colony had already climbed along the wall towards the 12th floor. The residents of the 12th had already woken up. The closest to the stairwell was the one that had made a rant in the past.

The parents of this family screamed in shock when they saw the densely packed termites. Their children had already woken up and were ordered by their parents not to come out. They didn't care about it now and ran out in slippers. What's amazing is that behind the child, a turtle the size of a washbasin was actually following.

The cold-blooded animal originally had no IQ, but at this moment, the turtle was like a domestic puppy, following the child at all times. Even when the child ran to the parents and stopped moving, he opened his mouth to bite his trouser legs and pulled him towards the direction of the house.

That posture was like a smart puppy sensing the danger ahead and was warning the little master to ask him to go home quickly.

Fortunately, the parents found that the child ran out, and were stimulated by termites, and immediately carried the child to the house. However, the termites did not walk on the ground and moved directly from the wall on the 13th floor to the ceiling of the corridor on the 12th floor, and headed towards their house.

Soon, the door of their house was covered with densely packed termites. The father took a step back and didn't know whether to open the door and enter the house or take his family directly to escape.

But their home is here, and it is so dangerous outside, where can they escape?

Just when they were at a loss, the tortoise that was originally following them crawled towards the door, then opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue and licked hard at the door, licking a bunch of termites, then put it into his mouth, and swallowed it after a few squirts.

You Xi who happened to go downstairs to see this scene

The child's parents were completely stunned, but the six or seven-year-old boy struggled from his father and shouted at the turtle, "Xiao Wu is so great, I'll eat all the ants, so we can go home."

The turtle seemed to understand it, looked back at the boy, then opened his mouth and began to lick the door several times the speed just now.

After licking the place where he could reach it, the turtle looked at the other termites above the door panel, tilted his little head and seemed to fall into deep thought. After a moment, it stopped licking, opened its mouth, stretched its half of its tongue, and stood there motionlessly.

A very strange smell seemed to be heard from the air. The family of three didn't smell it, but You Xi felt it keenly.

Soon, she found that the termites that were originally gathered on the door panel and began to chew on the wood, turned around and crawled towards the turtle's tongue. In this way, every time the turtle's tongue crawled with a bunch of termites, it would slap it and eat it twice, and then stick out its tongue.

The tongue was like a induced rod that emitted an inducible rod. After repeated several times, I finally finished eating all the termites near the door. Finally, the turtle burped.

The child's parents

Ten minutes later, several members of the rescue took several experts in protective suits and landed on the roof of their building on a helicopter. The experts all brought very professional tools and were skillful in their movements. Even if they saw termites all over the walls, they did not react in panic.

The captain who led the team was an acquaintance. He had been to their two districts twice before, and both You Xi and Xu Yan recognized him.

The other party also remembered them. After approaching, they took off their protective masks, nodded at them, and then told the other panicked residents that the team was experts in termite killing. This was not the first time termites appeared. There have been several places in the city that have had the same termite crisis, all during the past two days.

Moreover, the incubation period in the front was very long. It was not until the walls or floors collapsed that they discovered that termites had grown to an astonishing number, and ordinary people could not cope with it.

They also studied and improved several times before they developed the effective medicine, which was not to kill, but to lure all termites into the box they brought.

The effect of the inducement here is stronger than the effect of the inducement just now. Termites flocked to the box like flowing water, rushing to climb into the box brought by the expert.

Twenty minutes later, the termites that had spread to 15 floors and 12 floors were cleaned up.

But the expert did not leave, but instead took out a smaller box, came to the 14th floor where termites appeared, and continued to wait.

After waiting for another five minutes, a huge white worm that was more than ten times the size of other termites crawled out of the broken wall on the 14th floor.

The insect looked like a silkworm, but its head was very small. It twisted and wriggled, and finally crawled in through the small hole in the box.

"This, this is" the resident on the 14th floor was so scared that his teeth trembled.

"This is the queen of ant. It reproduces the termite colony. Generally, there is only one queen in a termite colony." An expert replied, "Don't worry, the queen of ant has come out, and there will be no more termites in the future."

But they were not at ease. As soon as they thought of the fact that there were so many termites hidden in the home where they lived every day, and a fat queen who kept laying eggs, they were very afraid and even dared not step into the house. They always felt that there were still insects hidden in a corner.

The rescue team stayed for half an hour before resolving the termite crisis, and then began to clean up the possible termite eggs in the broken wall. However, the termite eggs were the same as before before mutation. If they left the care of the ant colony, they would not form the conditions for hatching and would soon die.

They were just cautious in their work and didn't want to come once but left hidden dangers, so they finally removed the entire partition wall, and took all the half and some debris from the living room on the 13th floor to the top floor to burn and destroy.

Finally, they checked other parts of the building up and down, and confirmed that there were no other termites with inducements, and then they used the walkie-talkie to contact the helicopter and asked the helicopter to come back to pick up the person.

The Gou brothers and some others also watched the whole process. When they saw the rescue team members leaving, they couldn't help but follow them to the top floor.

Xu Yan and You Xi had already reacted earlier and were talking to the captain on the roof. What they were asking about was naturally the situation outside.

Although the Internet is developed now, many truly useful information cannot be seen from the Internet alone.

Their questions were very skillful, and the captain did not give a positive answer, but the general meaning revealed that in the short term, S City will maintain the status quo. At present, some people have left S City to other cities with better situations.

The rescue team will not leave. They are performing rescue missions every day, but due to restrictions on each party, the rescue efforts cannot be as strong as before.

At present, the most serious impact on the rapid growth of plants in S City is the urban area. The situation in the suburbs is actually OK, and the lanes are not completely unavailable.

But if you leave the city, it means giving up the assistance of airdrop materials and rescue teams. Because of the current situation in the city, people's lives are in difficulties, and the official has put most of their strength here.

As for the other part of the force, it was put into the shelter.

In short, after the previous lesson, their current approach is mainly to ease and detour. Of course, they have been preparing for both ways. If they really can't stay in the city in the later stage, they will eventually have to withdraw.

But as we all know, the living conditions of the shelter are too many people after all, and there is only one place to take shelter for the time being.

You Xi could hear what the other party meant. The two thanked each other. The helicopter came soon. The other party nodded at them and put on the protective mask again and left.

After the helicopter left, Xu Yan and You Xi saw several people standing at the entrance of the stairs.

Gou Yaoyang took the lead in speaking, "Wait for tomorrow morning and call the people in the group to have a meeting."

Everyone understands it.

The meeting was naturally to discuss the plan for evacuation.

The author has something to say, ahhhh, it's late every day, why don't I change it and update it at 22 o'clock
