It rained from time to time, and it rained all day and all night until the next morning. It was annoying, and the business report of the pet shop could be directly copied from the previous day, which was even more annoying.
It rained, but it didn't cool down after the rain. The sky over Binhai City seemed to be controlled by a low pressure. The air was extremely hot and humid, and the humidity was extremely high. There was no wind at all, as if a storm was brewing.
On the second day after the rain stopped, what Zhang Zian was most worried about recently happened.
"Yeah! It's disgusting!"
"Damn! Why are there so many caterpillars?"
"Ouch..."
Early in the morning, as soon as he raised the rolling shutter door, he saw complaints from pedestrians outside, especially young women, walking like dancing, dancing to avoid certain things, and screaming from time to time. It's on me.
On the walls, on the ground, and on the trees, there are all kinds of caterpillars wriggling everywhere, which makes one's scalp tingle.
Everyone likes to walk in the shade of trees to avoid the sun in summer, but now the shade has become a place to avoid, because if you walk in the shade, you will almost certainly be caught by some caterpillars.
Many people are unprepared, only to discover this situation after going out for a while, and have to go home and take an umbrella before going out.
On the road where cars came and went, caterpillars were crushed into puddles of mud by speeding cars, and the smelly body fluids and internal organs attracted flies and ants.
Not only the ground, but also colorful butterflies and moths are flying in the air. Although it is usually pleasing to see beautiful butterflies and moths, but now the butterflies and moths have become overwhelming. People with pollen allergies can't help complaining, obviously they have managed to get through the most terrible spring, who would have thought that they would also suffer from pollen allergies in summer
They were caught off guard and did not prepare masks, sneezing, runny nose, tears, and even severe asthma.
The cyclist, who was suddenly caught by a caterpillar while riding, kept shaking and slapping his clothes...
The driver of the car, with the windshield open, was suddenly ridden by swarms of butterflies and moths flying by...
The harsh sound of horns and sudden brakes on the street is endless, and traffic accidents of all sizes are happening on every street, which further leads to serious traffic jams...
Fortunately, now that the primary school students have finished their final exams, there are far fewer parents who drop off their children in the morning. Otherwise, those parents who are anxious because they are worried that their children will be late for school will make the situation worse.
The leaves of the street trees are almost all eaten and bald. There is a slight vibration, and a bunch of caterpillars will crackle and fall down...
Li’s Snack Bar, where there are people queuing up to pet cats in the morning, has no one at the door, and other catering shops or street vendors are empty, obviously dampened by caterpillars.
Overnight, Binhai City seemed to usher in a chaotic end of the world.
Although Zhang Zian guessed that the insect plague might erupt, he didn't expect it to be so serious. It seems... today's business is going to be ruined again.
Not long after, the clerks arrived at the pet shop on time with umbrellas.
"Damn! What's going on here? Caterpillars have invaded the earth?" Wang Gan cursed while shaking the caterpillars off the umbrella at the door, "When we left the dormitory, we thought we had crossed over!"
"Master, you finally turned on the air conditioner. If you don't turn on the air conditioner in this weather, it will be too hot!" Li Kun entered the store, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the air conditioner was turned on. There are two worlds inside and outside the store.
Although Zhang Zian, who returned from Egypt, seemed to have a talent for heat resistance, what he could endure was the dry heat of the Egyptian desert, not the hot flashes that made people feel suffocated even when breathing.
Lu Yiyun and Jiang Feifei were afraid that bugs would fall on their bodies. Everyone wore long-sleeved trousers, masks and hats, and they were already armed to the teeth.
"You guys are about to take the final exam, aren't you?" Zhang Zian didn't answer their complaints, "These days, you come to help clean up in the morning and then you can go back to school to prepare for the exam. Don't make up the exam if you fail again."
Both Wang Qian and Li Kun are still a year away from graduating. Although they are reluctant in every possible way, they still have to face the pressure of the final exam.
He knows the urination of the two of them, and it must be because they don't usually read books, and they are cramming for the exam. Since a few days ago, they have been reposting various koi, Yang Chaoyue, and other weird things that they claim to be able to pass every exam...
"I don't need it, I just need to get my graduation certificate." Jiang Feifei waved his hand.
Jiang Feifei is graduating in his senior year this year. He has passed his dissertation, so he doesn't need to take the exam, but he is still worried about finding a job. The resumes he submitted to the aquariums in major cities fell into the sea, but the resumes submitted to other jobs got a few responses. What she is worrying about is whether to find a job that interests her or a job that can support her family. This is also the worry that many fresh graduates have.
Lu Yiyun didn't have to worry about the final exam, and she didn't plan to stay alone in the rented house.
"Master, why don't you use your magical powers and help us get the answers to the final exam?" Wang Gan said with a bitter face, "In this way we can stay in the store and help you..."
"Do you think there may be business in the store these days due to the situation outside? If there is no business, how can you support you two idlers? Give you wages to play games?" Zhang Zian stared and pointed outside.
Once the pest plague breaks out, the situation cannot be easily reversed. The situation outside will definitely make everyone avoid going out as much as possible. Those who can ask for leave will ask for leave, and those who cannot ask for leave will not go shopping.
Wang Gan and Li Kun couldn't find any other excuses, so they could only sigh.
"What's going on in Binhai University?" Zhang Zian asked.
"There are not many trees in the university, the situation is okay..."
"Shut up, I didn't ask you."
As soon as Wang Qian and Li Kun spoke, they were interrupted by Zhang Zian, because he knew that the two of them were masters who kept their ears to the outside world and only played game consoles.
Jiang Feifei said: "The teaching area and the boys' dormitory are really okay, but the girls' dormitory is next to a forest... It's disgusting."
In the past, there were many stray cats entrenched in the woods. The girls fed the cats and caused enemies among classmates.
Zhang Zian nodded and cleaned up with them.
When it was almost finished, there was a figure at the door.
Zhang Zian thought that there was a visitor, but when he took a closer look, it was Grandma Gu from the street office.
Granny Gu held a small flower umbrella and said anxiously: "Little Anzi! What kind of paper did you mention earlier? The one that can cure bugs? Oh! Look at my memory! Come on, follow me to the street!"
She couldn't help but grab Zhang Zian's wrist and drag him outside.
