Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

After lunch, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo resumed digging in the ruins.

"The flowers are smiling at me..."

Jiang Li hummed a little tune as she continued moving the load quickly.

But when she saw what was in front of her, the smile on her face vanished abruptly.

She used her foot to move the dark brown, egg-shaped object onto a flat surface, then picked up a large rock and threw it at it.

A crisp sound rang out.

The eggshell broke into small pieces, revealing an animal that Jiang Li was very familiar with inside.

Cockroach larvae.

They are not fully grown yet, but you can still vaguely see their tentacles and feet.

Hearing the sound, Ye Jingmo walked to Jiang Li's side and saw the scene before him.

Jiang Li felt goosebumps all over her body, and she unconsciously took a step back.

She had never seen such a large cockroach eggshell before.

It's almost the size of an egg!

Jiang Li had never seen what an adult cockroach looked like, but judging from its eggshell, the adult cockroach was probably not small.

Ye Jingmo squatted down, picked up a twig from the side, and then carefully examined the fragments of cockroach larvae on the ground.

His thin lips were tightly knitted into a line.

After taking a photo with his watch, he sent this part of the information to Zhou Tian.

"That's enough for today's search. Let's go back."

I'm worried there are more cockroach egg cases here than this; what I fear most is..."

Ye Jingmo didn't finish his sentence, but Jiang Li understood what he meant.

I'm afraid there are more cockroach eggshells here than just cockroach eggshells.

Jiang Li looked at the cockroach eggshells on the ground with disgust.

I wish I could find a pair of eyes that have never seen it before.

Unlike locusts, cockroaches are not edible; they only cause serious damage to people.

Upon seeing Ye Jingmo's message, Zhou Tian immediately called.

"Jingmo, what is that picture you sent me?"

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li packed their things while replying to Zhou Tian.

"I think it's a cockroach eggshell, and I suspect there's more than one around here."

Cockroaches reproduce very quickly.

You'd better take good pest control measures in your base. Cockroaches that can lay such large eggs probably aren't as small as they were before the apocalypse.

Zhou Tian's tone was solemn.

"Thank you for informing us of this information. We will begin processing it immediately."

You should also be careful.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tian went to notify the relevant departments to take protective measures.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo left two iron plates and some small items on the vehicle, and put everything else into their spatial storage.

They planned to push their bicycles back to the villa area.

While tidying up, Jiang Li glanced up and saw something moving through the ruins.

It crawled very fast and disappeared into the pile of stones in the ruins in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Li took out the dagger strapped to her waist and gripped it tightly in her hand.

Ye Jingmo also saw the figure of that thing, and his face immediately darkened.

Things have changed.

"The bicycle can't be pushed back. Let's put the bicycle and everything on it into the space."

"Let's leave here first, then we'll retrieve them."

Ye Jingmo looked around warily, while Jiang Li swiftly stored the bicycle into her spatial storage as well.

Feeling something gnawing on his shoe, Ye Jingmo quickly looked down and saw a cockroach the size of a goose egg crawling on it.

He quickly stepped on it with his other foot.

A sticky substance emanated from the cockroach.

Jiang Li put her things away, tugged at Ye Jingmo's sleeve, and was about to speak to him.

She saw a cockroach grow larger in the distance and fly towards her face.

Before Jiang Li could react, Ye Jingmo pulled out the dagger from her hand and swung it at the flying cockroach.

The cockroach, split in two, fell to the ground along with its broken wings.

I could hear many faint sounds coming from the ruins.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Jingmo nimbly grabbed Jiang Li's hand and ran towards the villa.

The ruins behind were crawling with cockroaches, looking like a moving tide of stones from a distance.

When Jiang Li turned around, she noticed that some of them were fluttering their wings.

not good!

The swarm of cockroaches was about to fly towards them.

They were not far from the ruins, and at the speed of these cockroaches, they would catch up with them soon.

Jiang Li thought of the electric car she had bought in the space.

She immediately took out her electric scooter, inserted the key, and turned it on.

"Brother Mo, come up quickly."

Jiang Li held Ye Jingmo's hand, urging him to get on the electric scooter quickly.

Ye Jingmo straddled the back of the electric scooter with his long legs, and Jiang Li immediately turned on the throttle and sped forward without a care in the world.

The hot wind was blowing fiercely against Jiang Li's face, and she could barely see the scenery ahead.

A dense swarm of cockroaches flew toward the electric car.

It seems they wanted to keep both Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li here.

Jiang Li could see the spectacular view behind her through the rearview mirror. She turned the accelerator to the floor, wishing it would burst into sparks.

Fortunately, cockroaches can only fly a short distance.

Watching the cockroaches behind me fall to the ground,

Jiang Li's wildly beating heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Near the villa area, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo found a secluded corner, put the electric scooter back in their storage space, and took out their old bicycle.

Once inside, Jiang Li finally relaxed completely.

She took off her protective suit and sat on the sofa, panting heavily.

The escape trip had taken a lot of her energy.

Ye Jingmo brought a glass of water and sat down next to Jiang Li.

He gently patted her back.

Jiang Li recovered quickly; in the aftermath of the apocalypse, accidents were the most frequent occurrence.

"It's nothing, Brother Mo. It's just a physiological reaction caused by the sudden strenuous exercise."

Ye Jingmo shoved a tablet into Jiang Li's hand.

"If you're tired, play some games. It can help you relax."

Ye Jingmo added a cushion behind Jiang Li so that she would be more comfortable leaning against the sofa.

Jiang Li obediently relaxed her whole body on the sofa, her fingers sliding across the tablet, but she was somewhat absent-minded.

"Brother Mo, do you think these cockroaches will run into human settlements?"

These cockroaches have grown so big while searching for food in the ruins.

If it ran into the base and started eating people, what kind of mutation would it undergo?

"These are not things we should be considering. I already sent a message to Zhou Tian a long time ago, and they should have been prepared."

"By the way, I'll tell Qin Yue to be careful when they go digging in the ruins recently."

Jiang Li remembered that she should remind the Qin siblings next door to wear protective gear when they go to the ruins.

After all, even if these cockroaches don't eat meat, it would still be a terrifying thing if they crawled into your ears or nose.

Qin Yue froze upon seeing the photos and messages sent by Jiang Li.

The cockroaches from the south that I mentioned before are already quite large.

However, the cockroaches in the picture are ridiculously large compared to the southern cockroaches we've seen before.

It's like they've taken hormones.

Qin Yue realized that she still didn't have enough insecticide at home, so she went to the market to buy more, as the price of insecticide would probably go up later.
