Chapter 57 The role of the food chain
And the scene in front of him made him feel numb all over.
A group of golden cicadas clung tightly to the windows of the corridor, blocking the windows airtightly. From a distance, it looked like they were covered with a layer of golden and fluorescent blue window grilles.
He knocked on Qin Hao's door vigorously: "Brother Hao, open the door, help! Let me come in and hide."
Qin Hao did not open the door, but looked at Qin Hao innocently every day: "Dad, won't you let Uncle Ma in?"
"Tiantian, what your sister Su thinks is dangerous must not be simple. Dad can't let you take risks."
"There is no but, no matter whether dad is by your side or not, you must remember that only if you are alive can you have a future."
When Ma Dexiang saw Qin Hao not opening the door, he ran to the door of Su Mi's house crying and cursing. He originally did not dare to knock on Su Mi's door. His fear of these dense cicadas was almost equal to his fear of Su Mi.
But in the face of life and death, even being beaten to death by Su Mi is like being stung by these disgusting cicadas.
The colors of these cicadas were very different, bright and weird, and he wouldn't believe them if they were not poisonous. In addition, he had the experience of being attacked by giant toads during the day, these golden cicadas were definitely deadly things.
So he ran to Su Mi's door and knocked on the door.
"Boss Su, please help me. I don't dare to go back because the golden cicada has entered my house. Please let me stay at your place for a while and leave after the golden cicada retreats. Please!"
The windows in the corridor had no gaps except for a small ventilation hole, so these cicadas could not get in. However, there was a gap in the corridor door.
The windows downstairs and upstairs must not be closed, and those golden cicadas will get in after a while.
Thinking of this, a few golden cicadas crawled out from under the door at the end of the corridor, and when they saw Ma Dexiang, they flapped their wings and flew over.
"Ah! Help! Boss, Boss Su, Qin Hao, Brother Hao!" Ma Dexiang knocked on Su Mi's door for a while, and then knocked on Qin Hao's door for a while. He was so strong and loud that it caused a lot of noise.
Su Mi was upset and angry.
She suddenly opened the door a crack, said "Shut up" with a cold face, then threw an electric mosquito swatter on the ground, and then closed the door with a good knock.
When Ma Dexiang saw the telegram on the ground, he felt like he had found a treasure, and almost gave Su Mi a bite. But his life was at stake, so he took a deep breath and walked to the door of 1503, opened the door, and waved the electrified electric mosquito swatter in the air.
Golden cicadas are different from ordinary moths in that they have no phototaxis. They will just stop when exposed to light.
However, the power system collapsed in the last days, and there was no light at night except for the faint moonlight. Only Ma Dexiang's constant screams of terror and courageous roars allowed them to determine the direction of their target.
Fortunately, Ma Dexiang's accuracy was quite good when he waved the electric mosquito swatter at the golden cicadas, so he electrocuted each golden cicada with his wave while forcefully closing all the windows in the house.
Along the way, I also killed many smaller golden cicadas trying to get into the house.
He followed Su Mi's instructions and used towels and clothes to block the gaps in the room. Finally, after patching up every golden cicada corpse that fell on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief while sweating profusely.
He closed all the doors to the balcony and kitchen, filled all the gaps, and drew the curtains in the living room before falling down on the sofa in the living room.
As soon as his tense spirit relaxed, Ma Dexiang suddenly felt severe pain all over his body. When he touched his forehead, it was so hot that it was not just heat.
The wound on his face hurt him a little, and the next second he fell asleep on the sofa and fell unconscious.
Ma Dexiang fell asleep, but Qin Hao and Su Mi stayed up all night in their own rooms.
From time to time, frightened screams and cries for help could be heard upstairs, as well as chaotic footsteps. Qin Hao covered Tiantian's ears and stared at the golden cicada outside the window with his eyes open.
Tiantian was not completely inaudible, he could hear the shouting upstairs, but it was not so sharp and harsh through his father's palm.
He was so small, he didn't blink his eyes, and his expression was calm and without any fear.
Su Mi's ears were very good. Not only upstairs, she heard screams echoing throughout the community and strange noises in the stagnant water. It seemed like the sound of something jumping into the water, or the splash produced when someone dived.
.
Whether it's a golden cicada or a giant toad, these two things are not creatures that they can fight against at this time.
There was a loud "bang" sound, which was exactly the same as the sound by the window after Su Mi caught the golden cicada just now.
"Bang" came out again.
After several beeps in a row, a gap was missing from the originally dense patch of golden cicadas on the window of Su Mi's living room.
There was another "bang", and now Su Mi could see clearly that the huge purple-red tongue belonged to the giant toad.
It's just that Su Mi didn't find the location of the giant toad. Even though the golden cicadas were covering the windows of her living room batch after batch, dozens of them were rolled in at a time by the golden cicada's tongue. With such speed and efficiency,
Swallow all the golden cicadas.
Only a piece of transparent slime on the window and the blue powder left by the golden cicada on the window were left.
This blue powder is probably the most poisonous thing on them.
But Su Mi didn't dare to open the window. Compared to the golden cicada, the giant toad's attack was also very terrifying.
In terms of quantity, Su Mi was more afraid of the golden cicada. However, the toad happened to be at the upper level of the food chain and restrained the golden cicada, so in this battle, the giant toad completely won.
Su Mi walked to the bedside. There were no extra golden cicadas outside the window, nor could she see the giant toad. The crisis was temporarily resolved, but the underlying uneasiness in Su Mi's heart did not disappear.
At dawn, the chirping of cicadas outside disappeared, but there was a "cuck-cuck-cuck" frog sound. Su Mi didn't want to have the artistic conception of "listening to the sound of frogs". At this moment, she just wanted to return to space.
Go get some sleep.
In the mineral water bottle on the table, the golden cicada was floating on the leaves. The mouthparts under its head were inserted into the veins of the leaves to suck the juice. Su Mi checked the conditions of the windows and gaps in the room and made sure everything was safe.
Entering the space together with the mineral water bottle.
The entry of the golden cicada caused the fog to disperse a little again.
Su Mi poured the golden cicada out of the bottle, and it immediately flew to a small sapling nearby and hid. This tree was a camphor tree sapling, which Su Mi bought specially when she had nothing to do.
Seeds and saplings were selected from the pile and planted.
Camphor tree can effectively prevent mosquitoes in summer, and its special smell can repel insects. This golden cicada is not afraid of this smell and chose such a tree to rest.
The golden cicada that climbed up the tree neither chirped nor sucked sap, but remained motionless as if dormant.
Su Mi was not afraid that it would have any problems. After all, as long as a creature entered the space, it would not be easy to die.
She calmed down and wanted to take a rest, but Xiaobai suddenly ran over and rubbed her calf.
Talking about the creatures in the entire space, the one that has changed the most is Xiao Bai. In about a month, his fur became as white as snow, with silver reflections in the sunlight, and the three flame-shaped fur clusters on his forehead became darker.
Generally speaking, a one-month-old Husky can be held by normal people with both hands. But Xiaobai is exceptionally strong, comparable to the size of other people's three-month-old large dogs.
