I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

189 Bugs That Appeared Out of Thin Air

There were many of these bugs, and they were gnawing on the leaves of the peanuts. Du Yue observed from the side. Within a few minutes, the number of leaves on the branches had decreased significantly. Not only did they eat the leaves, but they also ate the branches. Du Yue did not know what kind of insects they were, but at a glance, they were all different in size and color. They were huddled together in groups and wriggling non-stop. Even Du Yue, who had seen many snakes, insects, rats, and ants, could not help but feel her scalp go numb when she saw the swarm of small bugs.

Du Yue no longer hesitated. She walked up and put all the logistics boxes into her interspace. Du Yue’s space was still, and she could not store any living things. No matter if it was an animal or a human, as long as they were placed in the space, they would immediately die. Even though she knew about the special property of the space, Du Yue still did not dare to let her guard down. Five minutes after she put the logistics boxes into her space, she went to take a closer look. She was only relieved when she was sure that all the bugs were dead.

Du Yue was not afraid of the bugs, but it was hard to accept the sight of thousands of bugs of different sizes all squeezed together. Du Yue was worried that the bugs would crawl to the other corners of the house, so she found some strong pesticide from her interspace and sprayed it all over the house.

All the furniture in the house had been put into Du Yue’s interspace. She left them in there for half an hour before she took them out again and checked them carefully. As she checked, she found many dead bugs on the furniture. Once she was done with the living room, Du Yue moved on to the kitchen and bedroom. Fortunately, Du Yue did not have the habit of storing food in her room. All her food was stored in her interspace where she could take it out and eat on the spot. If the food was contaminated by those bugs, Du Yue felt that she would rather throw the food far away.

As for the condiments in the kitchen, they were all sealed, so she did not have to worry about the bugs crawling in. Du Yue just wiped the surface of the containers with a disinfectant wet towel. Du Yue only stopped when the three rooms were cleaned up and the pesticide was starting to make her choke.

She and He Xing had given the peanuts some nutrient solution last night, and they did not find any bugs on them then. How did so many bugs appear out of thin air in just one night? The windows were also sealed tight, so it was impossible for them to have climbed in through the windows.

Du Yue looked down slowly and saw the door to the living room. The door of the living room was an ordinary wooden door, and there was an iron gate outside. Neither of the two doors was completely sealed. Even if the door was closed and people could not come in, it could not block small bugs.

Could it be that the bugs had come in through the crack in the door? Du Yue found a strong flashlight and walked to the door with it. The light from the flashlight shone through the crack in the door. Du Yue could clearly see that there were many bugs slowly wriggling on the ground in the courtyard.

Du Yue had sprayed too much pesticide earlier. When the bugs were at the door and had nowhere to hide, they turned around and went back into the yard. Du Yue unconsciously frowned. She could not figure out where so many bugs had come from.

Just as she was pondering, she heard a series of screams. They were coming from the house next door. They were so sharp that Du Yue could hear them clearly from the living room. “Where did so many bugs come from?”

“Ah! Help!”

“Ah, they’ve even gone into my clothes! Quick, help me kill them!”

“These damn bugs! You’ve ruined my sweet potatoes and potatoes! My food!”

Listening to the movements of her neighbors, Du Yue knew that the attack of the bugs was not a coincidence, and she was not the only one facing this problem. From the looks of it, it should be a bug disaster. However, in her previous life, there was no bug disaster that came with the thick fog. Du Yue did not know what had changed the situation, but it was not important. The most important thing now was to find a way to kill all the bugs in the yard.

She could not put them all into her space. If she wanted to put anything into her space, she had to touch the object’s body or gather everything in one place. Even pesticide probably could not kill so many bugs. Du Yue pondered for a while. She rummaged through her space and found a flamethrower.
