The employment relationship between Xue Lihong and Xiao Mo was established.
Xiao Mo decided to change his attitude towards young people. He could no longer use the image of the child in the past on him. Since the other party was an adult, he should deal with him in the same way as an adult.
Xue Lihong was responsible for the preparation work, and Xiao Mo found some tools and necessities.
After deciding on the route on the map, Xiao Mo said hello to his family and said he was going out to do errands.
Everyone in the Xiao family was busy with their own affairs, so they didn't ask him what he was doing out there. Only Deng Anjie asked him to come back for dinner in the evening.
Xiao Mo rarely refused anything Deng Anjie mentioned, and he agreed on the spot, saying that he would definitely come back for dinner.
Xue Lihong looked at Xiao Mo, then at the beautiful, dignified and generous Deng Anjie, with a strange smile on her lips.
Xiao Mo didn't notice the young man's expression. He was standing on the balcony observing the road conditions.
Looking from upstairs, the road conditions are not completely clear, the motorcycle is running out of gas, and the battery of the electric vehicle cannot last for a long time. It seems that the only way to complete the task is to ride a bicycle, hoping that there will be enough time.
A women's bicycle, a petite folding bike.
When Xiao Mo pushed the car out of the carport behind the shop, he was worried that the young man would dislike it.
Unexpectedly, the tall young man just looked at it casually, carried the folding bicycle, put the seat cushion at the highest position, and stepped on it with one foot.
"The target locations are relatively scattered. The twenty-four gold-eating female insects are in different places. We may have to travel for a day, and we may not be able to come back for dinner at night."
"Oh." Xiao Mo didn't think much about it.
Xue Lihong glanced at him and said, "Our mission target is also in the city's No. 1 Hospital. We can just take a look at that hospital to see if there is a useful body scanner."
"It would be nice if the mission was released earlier, and we wouldn't have to make another trip." Xiao Mo was very dissatisfied with the system, "I don't know how big that gold-eating insect is? I don't know if they will let us go in to catch the bugs?"
"Observe first, recycle it if you can, and don't think of another way."
Xiao Mo feels that although the adult version of Xue Lihong is not very cute, she is very reliable in her work.
The two were about to ride away.
"Old Xiao." Xue Lihong suddenly squeezed the brakes and stepped on the ground, "Look forward."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Xiao Mo looked in the direction of the young man's finger, and when he looked up, he saw a large and dense swarm of cockroaches lying on the side wall of the building diagonally opposite.
Such a large and dense swarm of cockroaches immediately gave Xiao Mo goose bumps.
"Yeah!" Other residents in the community also discovered this situation. Some people were so frightened that they screamed on the spot, while others ran away.
Someone heard the cry and didn't run away. They thought there was something exciting to see, so they came here instead.
Xue Lihong grabbed a flying cockroach and looked at it over and over.
Xiao Mo didn't notice what the young man was doing behind him. When he saw the security guards of the community appeared, he immediately shouted to them: "Don't hit them with things immediately to prevent them from flying everywhere. Get a large insect exterminator. It's best to ask for help." Here comes the pest control company.”
Without Xiao Mo's warning, when the community security guards saw the dense swarm of cockroaches, no one dared to rush forward. Instead, they all took a few steps back.
"Hurry up and broadcast, ask all residents in the community to close their windows and doors, and try to block all the gaps." Xiao Mo reminded the security guard of the community and quickly called home.
As soon as I finished the call, I turned around and saw a young man grabbing a cockroach and studying it
Xiao Mo grabbed the handlebar with a dark look on his face, "What's so good about that thing? You don't mind it being dirty."
Xue Lihong didn't know what she saw from the cockroach. Seeing that Xiao Mo was disgusted, she squeezed the cockroach to death with a little force with two fingers.
This man actually crushed a cockroach to death with his bare hands? ! Xiao Mo's eyes widened.
Xue Lihong threw the dead cockroaches with white pulp on their heads on the ground, patted Xiao Mo's shoulder, pointed at the cockroaches and said, "Do you think they are digging into the wall?"
"...Don't rub that paw on me."
"Next time I will step on it with my feet." After Xue Lihong wiped her dirty paws clean on the man's body, she comforted him not quite sincerely.
Xiao Mo, "..."
"What the hell is going on? Where are there so many cockroaches?" Residents and security guards in the community screamed.
"Look over there!" A middle-aged man pointed at another building and shouted with a pale face.
"And that building too." A security guard shouted while looking at another building.
As far as they could see, the side walls of three buildings were already covered with dense swarms of cockroaches.
"Ah! Cockroaches! Oh my God! Where are there so many cockroaches?" A resident walking on the road jumped up.
Troops of cockroaches crawled across the road.
"Oops! Cockroaches are flying! Run!"
I don't know who yelled, but as soon as the voice fell, a large number of cockroaches were seen flying into the air, rushing toward the steel light poles, buildings, and even people.
"Ignore these cockroaches, let's go!" Xue Lihong stepped on her pedals and ran, with Xiao Mo following closely behind.
The journey, even on a bicycle, was not smooth.
The city acted quickly, but the changes last night were too big and too sudden. Although the city government dispatched a large number of military and police forces to rectify the city after the disaster, the remaining problems are everywhere.
Just when everyone was so busy, large swarms of cockroaches appeared, and even some rats were seen jumping around on the ground and in the shadows. This made the post-disaster rescue and cleanup not smooth. The action gets even worse.
After discussion, the two decided to complete the mission goals within the second ring road of the city first, and then proceed outside the city.
You can cycle down in the city, but it is extremely inconvenient without cars outside the city. They can only hope that the city government can clear the main roads outside the city as soon as possible.
Based on the distance, the first target they selected was in a park in the middle of the street not far from Tongtian Street.
This park has a new metal product art sculpture exhibition. The small square is full of various metal sculptures with weird shapes and unrestrained or obscene postures.
When Xiao Mo and the two arrived, they saw many people busy in the park.
Some soldiers were piling some obstacles blocking the road into the open space of the park. The police were riding bicycles back and forth. Some ordinary people were helping, and some came to ask for help, but there were few who helped and many who asked for help.
This park covers a large area and is located right in the center of the city. For the convenience of dispatch, a temporary command center was stationed in the east corner of the park, where military police and municipal workers came and went. A temporary first aid station was set up in the west corner of the park, where some people with minor injuries lined up to wait for treatment.
"Ding, the target is close, thirty-two meters, thirty meters..."
Xiao Mo stopped his bicycle.
"There are too many people here." Xiao Mo turned his head and whispered to the young man.
Xue Lihong put one foot on the ground, glanced around, and frowned slightly.
"I don't know how powerful that gold-eating insect is. If it is similar to the mother of gluttonous beasts, we will be in trouble."
The young man asked calmly: "How far is it?"
"It's nearby." According to the map in his mind, Xiao Mo raised his finger and pointed at a metal shape in the center of the park. It was a female shape that looked like it had a twisted waist and exaggerated breasts and hips.
"I'll go over and take a look first." Looking at her employer, Xue Lihong took the initiative to take the risk.
Xiao Mo was about to say let's go together.
"Get out of the way! Everyone, give in!" A group of people rushed towards them.
Xiao Mo quickly got out of the way and was suddenly separated from the young man.
The group of people cut through them and ran directly to the makeshift first aid station.
Xiao Mo glanced around and saw a simple stretcher among the group of people. On the stretcher lay a young soldier. The soldier's injuries were not seen, but there were blood spots where they ran.
A soldier ran out of the command tent. He held up a loudspeaker and shouted: "Team 3, Team 4, come with me to provide support!"
A dozen soldiers who were scattered around to help immediately gathered around.
"What's going on? Why are you injured so badly?" A military doctor wearing a military uniform and a white coat also ran over from the ambulance.
"I don't know. The communication was suddenly cut off just now. We couldn't contact them. In the end, we only heard them shouting for support. I don't know if anyone here can repair the communication equipment. Alas, the more trouble there is, the more trouble there is!"
After a few brief conversations, the young soldier with the title of lieutenant on his shoulder strips led two teams and ran out of the park in the middle of the street.
Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong looked at each other.
The red feet in the snow kicked the ground and rode directly into the center of the park.
Xiao Mo hesitated and followed. He knew how to repair communication equipment. Although he had never repaired military equipment, the basic structure should be similar. Plus, he now has the ability to repair...
The two parked their bicycles aside, and Xue Lihong bent down to observe the statue.
The map in Xiao Mo's mind turned into a three-dimensional display and pointed out: "Between the left foot and the base, not the outside, but the place where the sole of the foot and the base meet."
Xue Lihong squatted down, stretched out her hand and rubbed the inner part of her left foot, "There is a small hole as big as a sesame seed here. The insect should have got in from here."
Xiao Mo circled the metal shape twice and tried to push it again. "This thing is welded directly to the ground. It is difficult to move it. But it is even harder to separate the foot from the base. This is a complete Block, we need to find a cutting machine or electric saw to cut it open. I think we should go back, I have these tools in the shop."
"When we go out of the city, drive back to your house and pick up tools." The young man said and pulled out a saw blade about five centimeters wide and fifteen centimeters long with a handle from his backpack.
"... You really have everything in your bag." And in such a small backpack, how can you fit such a large tool
"As people live a long time, they will naturally collect some messy things. It's a pity that there is no electric saw."
Xue Lihong began to use the saw blade to try to cut through the connection between the shape and the base.
Xiao Mo also squatted down, "I'm afraid this saw blade alone is useless, right? How long will it take to saw with it?"
"That's you, not me."
"...Sorry, I almost forgot that you have a thousand years of inner strength."
The corner of the young man's mouth curled up. He didn't deny it, and didn't look at how hard he was. He held the handle of the saw blade with one hand and said, "Hold on."
"What are you holding on to? Oh!" Xiao Mo saw that the saw blade had entered a fifth of the position with the young man's tug and pull, and quickly reached out to hold the upper body of the figure.
The foot without the bug quickly separated from the base.
"I'll break this thing apart and move it away later. You are responsible for using this net to cover the bug and prevent it from escaping." Xue Lihong took out a balled gauze net from her backpack with one hand. Pass it to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo took the gauze, opened it and shook it. The gauze was cold in his hands, "Can this thing cover that insect?"
"Made of heavenly silk." Without raising her head, Xue Lihong started sawing the bottom of the foot with the bug again.
Xiao Mo was surprised, "Is there really silk in this world? Is it invulnerable to water and fire? Is it durable against swords? The kind that has excellent elasticity and is warm in winter and cool in summer?"
Xue Lihong also looked up at him in surprise, "You believe what I said?"
"...Young man, keep doing your job."
