Chapter 294 Methods to Kill Insects
hum~
Please check your gift from Gu Jingchen as soon as possible.
Lu Youyou opened the backpack compartment.
[Shen Taiyang's head *1]
[Zhang Yao's head *1]
Lu Youyou: ……
She had intended to throw it outside the base to feed the insects, but suddenly she received a request from the Rat King.
[King Mouse: Youyou, you're amazing! You actually managed to kill those two! I'm going to reward you!]
[Lu Youyou: What reward?]
[King of Mice: Hmm... I'll send the mice over to catch some bugs for you.]
[Lu Youyou: No need. My car roof is surrounded by netting on all four sides. It's not too late to send the rat over when the netting is worn out.]
[King of Mice: Great! If someone from Youyou asks me for mice, I'll definitely send the fastest batch over!]
Lu Youyou smiled as she looked at her watch. She could already picture the Mouse King with his slightly chubby little belly, making a promise.
hum~
The watch rang again.
It wasn't posted by the Mouse King, it was posted by Gu Jingchen.
[Gu Jingchen: You wanted Shen Taiyang before, and now I've given him to you. Let's forget about the past, and next time we meet, let's keep to ourselves.]
Upon seeing this news, Lu Youyou couldn't quite describe her feelings.
Come to think of it, she and Gu Jingchen didn't seem to have any deep-seated hatred before; it was all because of Shen Taiyang.
If Gu Jingchen had handed Shen Taiyang over to her before, they might have become friends.
But now, it's too late.
She killed so many of Gu Jingchen's people while doing Xiao Cui's mission, so even if Gu Jingchen said he had forgiven them, she wouldn't believe it.
Lu Youyou used the teleportation card and entered Gu Jingchen's name.
Unable to locate.
He has a Void Card.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time. I hope Gu Jingchen can truly let go of things completely, just as he said in his message.
If he can let go, then I can let go too.
With Shen Taiyang dead, the heavy weight on Lu Youyou's heart finally lifted, and she felt much lighter.
To be honest, Lu Youyou had forgotten what had caused her to harbor murderous intent towards Shen Taiyang.
Perhaps Shen Taiyang used underhanded tactics to ruin her business and reputation?
Or perhaps it was he who led the Blood Shadow Gang to attack her and Wang Qiao, knowing full well that Wang Qiao hated men, yet still leered at her and spoke offensively?
It's also possible that he faked his death repeatedly to fool me...
With all these things piling up, Lu Youyou only remembered that killing Shen Taiyang had become an obsession, and anyone who stood in her way became her new enemy.
She had too many memories of Shen Taiyang.
But all of this vanished with Shen Taiyang's death.
From that moment on, Shen Tai would never appear in her memory again.
"call!"
Lu Youyou let out a breath.
The mobile base was deserted; everyone had rested and gone out to continue their journey.
She no longer needed to worry about the members not getting enough rest, so she simply packed up the base, got in the car, and set off.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that there were fewer insects outside.
In the past, insects could crawl all over the entire window. Even with a screen, they would still be a dense, overwhelming mass, blocking out all light.
Now, sunlight can shine into the car through the windows.
Is the insect plague going to end so quickly?
To verify her conjecture, Lu Youyou opened the already buzzing public chat.
[Player 78883: Have you guys noticed? The Invincible Gang has disbanded! It's no longer listed on either the shop rankings or the gang rankings.]
Love and hate can be separated by a single moment: Damn it, how am I supposed to complete the Rat King's request? I only killed one person, and it only attracted one gray rat to help me catch bugs. Even if it works itself to death, it still won't be able to finish catching them all.
[Ningning doesn't eat cilantro: My brother... how did he offend the Rat King? Those fair-weather friends, seeing my brother in such a difficult situation, didn't even offer to help.]
[Player 79892: Is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like there are fewer bugs outside? Haha, the bug infestation is about to end!]
[Love others, love yourself first: emmm, I don't know whether to say the person upstairs is naive or that their car is sturdy. Didn't you notice the insect bite marks starting to appear on the car body?]
It seems that the widespread agreement that "love yourself before loving others" is not a coincidence.
Lu Youyou's vehicle body has been reinforced, and there are no visible signs of insect bites at the moment.
She took out the garlic juice she had prepared beforehand and applied it to the edge of the window.
Soon the smell spread, and the insects on the window scattered, revealing the tattered and mangled mesh.
Some of the mesh on the outer layer had been gnawed open by insects, with three or four small holes forming a large hole.
Before we could finish observing, the insects that had just flown away gathered again, and the dense swarm of insects entered through the holes they had gnawed in the net, feeding on the last layer of fine mesh.
Lu Youyou frowned; the situation wasn't looking good.
The insects' biting ability has indeed increased.
She put on a protective bodysuit, grabbed the insecticide from the coffee table, and climbed the stairs to the roof of the car.
The surrounding netting was teeming with insects, leaving no room for them to escape.
If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for a white roof and black walls.
Some small insects had already flown through the mesh and were attracted by the honey-scented insect attractant, automatically falling into the insect collection box.
The insect collection box is made of frosted material. Although you can't see what kind of insects are inside, you can see that it's more than half full, with about two fingers' width of space left before it's full.
There were also insects that weren't sensitive to the smell of honey, which leisurely flew towards the road.
It landed on her protective suit and nibbled at the food with trembling wings.
Lu Youyou felt both disgusted and angry.
Taking advantage of the gloves that came with her protective suit, she directly pinched an insect and crushed it.
boo~
The fat worm burst open, dropping small, transparent balls.
Upon closer inspection, those weren't small balls at all; they were insect eggs!
Just as Lu Youyou squatted down to take a closer look, the insect eggs had already developed from a transparent state into small black dots.
In just one minute, it transformed from a tiny black dot into an insect and began to pupate towards Lu Youyou.
Several dozen seconds later, the wriggling insect grew a pair of wings, flew straight towards Lu Youyou's face, and landed on the goggles attached to the protective suit.
Lu Youyou pinched the worm and compared it to the mother worm from the beginning.
Its wings are not as big as its mother's, and its body is not as plump.
No insect eggs were released after it was crushed.
After squeezing and popping several newly hatched insects, Lu Youyou finally confirmed that unfertilized insects cannot produce eggs.
Instead of killing one bug causing more bugs to spawn.
But it's pretty much the same, since when you kill an insect, no one knows whether the dead insect was carrying eggs.
Therefore, deworming should still be the primary treatment.
Do not kill insects unless absolutely necessary.
hum~
Another black winged worm pierced through the mesh and landed on Lu Youyou's left forearm.
She looked at the insecticide in her right hand. To kill or not to kill, that was the question.
呲——
The spray hits the insects directly.
It fell with trembling wings, spinning endlessly on the ground.
Lu Youyou thought it was dying too slowly, so she sprayed it several times.
Finally, it stopped moving.
He's completely dead.
Lu Youyou stared intently at the lower half of the worm's body.
She just crushed this spot, and that's how the insect eggs came out.
If the mother dies without being crushed, can the eggs still hatch?
Five minutes later, the dead bug showed no abnormalities.
The scene that Lu Youyou imagined—the little insect tearing open the mother insect's abdomen—did not happen.
Is it because this insect is not carrying eggs?
No way, it's so plump, it's about the same size as the mother insect that was crushed at the beginning.
Lu Youyou stretched out her index finger, aimed it at the insect's fat body, and pressed it down hard.
boo~
More than ten transparent eggs burst open.
Lu Youyou divided the eggs into two piles, sprayed one pile with insecticide, and left the other pile untreated.
The eggs, which were not sprayed with insecticide, developed normally and sprouted wings in less than two minutes, enabling them to attack people.
The eggs that were sprayed with insecticide show no signs of hatching.
After experimentation, Lu Youyou confirmed it.
Whether the berried female insect is dead or alive, the eggs can hatch on their own once the body is broken.
In other words, there are two ways to deal with insects.
Either drive them away or kill them completely.
