Chapter 142: Mutated Locusts

After walking for more than an hour, I finally saw the road, and occasionally steam-powered vehicles passed by.

After being trapped for more than a month, I finally saw the crowd. Both of them were a little excited. Luo Kai stopped a long bus, a steam-powered bus. The huge front of the car was sprayed with black smoke and dragged a long body, and the windows of the car body were welded to death by steel bars.

After inquiring the dark and fierce driver, I found out that this place was already in Changyuan County. The bus was heading from a nearby county town to Changyuan City.

Now they urgently need to find a restaurant to have a big meal, then take a shower and change their clothes quickly. Lu Qing took out a small wallet and paid the money to get on the bus. Although the two of them looked weird, the handsome man and the beautiful woman attracted everyone's attention as soon as they got on the bus.

Lu Qing had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, but Luo Kai was a little unnatural and walked to the empty seat in the last row to sit down.

The steam bus roared and restarted. Next door was a young man and woman sitting, like a boyfriend and girlfriend. The woman was crying quietly while the man was comforting softly.

Luo Kai noticed that their window was broken, with feathers and blood left. He was confused and asked the young man, "What happened?"

The young man glanced at him and explained, "A large group of seabirds came just now. I don't know why they suddenly rushed to the bus and smashed the windows. Fortunately, there were steel bars welded on the windows, otherwise they would definitely rush into the car."

Changyuan County is located in the southernmost part of Xingma Kingdom and is also the southernmost part of the Eastern Continent. It has a small population, and its industry and agriculture are not well developed. The scenery outside the window slowly passes by, mostly in some wilderness, and it is rarely seen in villages.

After more than two hours of rushing and rushing, Changyuan City finally arrived. Like Longyang City, the entire city was shrouded in black coal smoke. The roar of various steam engines was endless, making Luo Kai feel irritable, and he felt even more reluctant to leave the quiet life of the past month.

After getting off the bus, she looked for places to eat and live. Lu Qing likes to be clean and has a petty bourgeois mood. She doesn't even look at restaurants on the streets. She pulled the hungry Luo Kai toward the more upscale hotel in the city center. In her words, this is called celebrating a new life and she must not be able to deal with it casually.

Finally, I entered a six-story building called Mingtai Hotel. I first ate and drank a lot, and then asked for a guest room. The moment I closed the door, the two of them had their eyes collided...

"Wait first, I want to take a shower first." Lu Qing pushed him away and ran towards the bathroom.

"Wash together." Luo Kai followed with salivation.

After a long time, the two of them hugged each other on the big bed in the hotel. Lu Qing said quietly: "What do you think we are going to do next?"

Luo Kai understood what she meant and hesitated: "I have one more thing to do, I have to go to Dongyuan to go to the country."

Lu Qing raised her up excitedly and said, "I'll be with you."

Luo Kai shook his head and sighed, "No, there will definitely be someone to catch me, I probably can't beat them now."

Lu Qing bit his shoulder angrily, not saying anything.

Early the next morning, the two were awakened by the loudspeaker on the street outside.

"Dear people, a large number of mutant locusts may invade Changyuan County in the near future. From today on, Changyuan City will enter a closed state. Each street and community will set up a joint defense team. Citizens are requested to store supplies, block doors and windows, and do not go out at home. If an emergency occurs, you can ask the joint defense team for assistance.

In order to ensure people's livelihood, the city lord has ordered the opening of the granary, and each person can purchase food for three days at the supply points in the block...

Luo Kai's expression tightened, he stood up and walked to the window. There were crowds of people outside, and a large number of ordinary people were crowding with a steam truck full of sergeants, all rushing to ask.

But the soldiers had no time to pay attention to them, and they shouted over and over again with loudspeakers.

"What is a mutant locust? The city is going to be closed down here. Wouldn't we not be able to go back today?" Lu Qing said in shock.

Luo Kai has never heard of mutated locusts. He often caused locust plagues in his previous life, but they only affected food production and did not affect personal life safety. However, this world is not necessarily the case. Any creature with the word "mutation" before it will become different. Although it is far less than a ferocious beast, it can threaten the life safety of human beings.

Looking up at the gloomy sky, a sense of crisis arose in my heart. The swarm of locusts must be very terrible, and said, "Qing'er, I'll go down and ask, don't go out in the room."

"I'll be with you." Lu Qing didn't want to leave Luo Kai for a moment, and hurriedly put on her clothes.

The hotel lobby is also a bit chaotic. Most of the guests living here are not locals, and they come here to do business. Once the city is closed, they will be unable to leave.

The hotel security supervisor said loudly: "Everyone, please don't panic. As long as you check in to this hotel, we will definitely ensure your safety. You all know the situation outside now. Since the store does not have much food, please buy food for three days."

Luo Kai pulled Lu Qing to walk outside. The streets outside were crowded with people, and huge crowds rushed towards the direction of the vegetable market. Teams of fully armed soldiers were maintaining order.

"Luo Kai, what should we do?" Feeling the tense atmosphere, Lu Qing also became nervous.

Noting that the tall concrete wall surrounding the main urban area had been completely closed, Luo Kai frowned and could not leave for the time being. Now he could only respond to changes in the same way and said, "Let's go and get some food first."

There were a row of large trucks parked at the supply point, and you could see piles of food inside. Rows of fully armed soldiers shouted and asked the people to line up.

Each person is limited to three kilograms of rice and a can of pickled pickles. This is not enough for a meal, but he can eat for ten days and half a month without eating.

When I returned to the hotel, the guests in the lobby had dispersed and seemed to have accepted their orders and went out to subscribe to food. The security supervisor was directing people to close the doors and windows. When he saw Luo Kai coming in, he shouted loudly: "Sir, there are some wooden boards here, go back and seal the windows by yourself."

The security supervisor is a black man, tall and strong, with the brand on his chest saying Sean, Changyuan County is very close to the South China Sea islands, so there are many dark-skinned people.

Luo Kai walked over and took a few wooden boards and nails and returned to the room with Lu Qing. He did not completely seal the window, but left a small hole for easy observation.

With his current strength, he thinks that even ferocious beasts can fight, so he naturally won’t be afraid of these mutated locusts. However, locusts are group creatures and must be a vast group, with limited influence on their personal combat power.

A day passed, and there were no people on the street outside, and no trace of locusts was seen. Lu Qing sighed and said: "Is the information wrong? I have never heard of any mutated locusts in Xingma Kingdom since I was a child."

Luo Kai's face became more and more serious. He had already felt an invisible pressure. The mysterious sixth sense reminded him that something very terrible would appear soon.

As evening approached, a dark cloud floated from the sky. The thick dark clouds blocked the sunlight and then began to spread, completely covering the city below. The entire city fell into darkness, and invisible pressure enveloped everyone's heart, as if the end of the world was coming.

Luo Kai's eyes lit up with starlight. He could see clearly that it was not a dark cloud at all, but countless insects. They had completely separated from the original appearance of locusts. They were all the same as fists, with sharp teeth on the upper and lower jaws, and their lower limbs were like two barbed swords. As their wings shook, invisible sound waves swept towards the city below.

People in the city were dizzy at first, then nauseated and nauseous. The weak constitution squirted and foamed on the ground, and their bodies trembled violently without being controlled, as if they were having epilepsy.

Lu Qing's pretty face turned pale and she couldn't help but squat on the ground and started to retching.

Luo Kai also felt the disturbance of the sound wave to the body's movement. He returned to Lu Qing's side with a gloomy face. His mental power penetrated his body, forming an invisible barrier to block the sound wave. Lu Qing's face improved and he said in horror: "It's so terrible, are the insects coming?"

"Here you come."

Luo Kai walked back to the window and looked at the swarm of insects attacking with dark clouds in the sky. These mutated locusts evolved into terrible infrasound capabilities. Infrasound waves are low-frequency sound waves that humans cannot hear, but they can feel them, and will be affected by them. High-intensity infrasound waves can even interfere with the operation of human organs and nervous systems, causing organ rupture and even mental disorders!
