Chapter 156 The cold winter ends and mosquitoes attack
Seeing that their son was now scared and realized his mistake, Qiu Qiu and the others stopped talking about him.
However, the tigress approached several people at this time and sniffed Tangyuan, An Ning, Dudu, Xiaoyu and Xiaoman one by one. The backs of several people were tense and stiff, and they did not dare to move. Qiu looked at Qiu and Xiao Han wanted to laugh.
Yesterday they were clamoring to feed the tigers, but today they were frightened by the glutinous rice balls, and all of them were scared. Fortunately, the tigress just smelled their scent, then turned back to the den to stay, and then looked at everyone motionlessly. The thing in his hand looked arrogant and a little eager, which made An Ning and others feel very curious.
At this moment, they ignored the fear and prepared food for it one after another, and then brought it to the nest for it and the cub to eat.
Gradually, the tigress felt that they really liked her child, and she used her paws to pull the cub in the direction where An Ning and the others were standing, as if she was saying, "I'll let you play with me for a while!?"
Several people understood the tiger's meaning and were very happy, but they still carefully knelt down and tentatively touched the little tiger cub. Seeing that it didn't look unhappy, they reached out to pick it up and touched the little tiger cub lovingly. I felt comfortable being jerked off by them, and I couldn't help but hum.
The tigress looked at the child, her animal eyes full of love, and followed her up, lying down a few steps away from the others, watching them play with the tiger.
Qiu Qiu sighed at the tigress's IQ, "She looks smarter than a three- or four-year-old child!"
"Indeed!" Xiao Han whispered in his ear, "This tiger is not simple, otherwise he would secretly come here to give birth to cubs, plus... you fed him spiritual spring water, I doubt that, That thing enlightened it again."
"It's very possible!" Qiu Qiu nodded, "No matter what, it's a good thing that he doesn't regard these children as enemies and is willing to let them get close.
When the weather gets warmer, we will build him a new nest at the foot of the mountain. When the time comes, it is best for him to stay. If he wants to leave, we will not force him to leave. But I believe that if he encounters difficulties in the mountains in the future, if he knows how to Fa will be willing to help us. "
Xiao Han stretched out his hand to hug him into his arms and said firmly, "Don't worry! It will be willing to stay! After all, the temptation of the spiritual spring water is too great!"
Qiu Qiu smiled and raised his eyebrows, "That's true!"
After feeding the tiger, everyone has already regarded them as good friends, especially Tangyuan and Dudu. One of them boldly hugged the tigress’s head from one side and reluctantly said, "Huahua! We will come back in the afternoon and give you chocolates then." , don’t go out, it’s cold outside, you know?”
Everyone seemed to see the irritability in the eyes of the tigress. It looked at Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han, as if hoping that they would take care of these two noisy children. Unfortunately, the couple not only did not take care of them, but also teased it unkindly. There was still peace and harmony in the end. Xiaoyu and Xiaoman were afraid that the tiger would get angry, so they pulled them away, and the tigress was freed.
The days passed like this, and after the turn of the year, the weather that was supposed to be spring not only did not end, but strong winds began to blow and it started to rain.
Everyone was shouting and cursing that the thief had a convulsion. It was already a severe cold weather of more than 70 degrees below zero, and now it was windy and rainy. Didn't this mean to completely cut off the livelihood of mankind?
But the scolding should be dismissed, and life has to continue. It's okay to arrive at Qiuhan's base. He has saved so many supplies before, and Qiu Qiu Space is a cheating tool, so life is not that difficult.
However, other human beings living in every corner seem much more miserable!
The rain has not stopped for a month, and the ice is getting thicker and thicker, making it more difficult for people to travel. In the entire year and three months, more than 1200 people have died in the experimental base due to the cold winter, leaving only a population of 14000.
Among them, there are only more than 3800 survivors, and Mr. Chen from the management, Jiang He, the former director of the safety zone hospital of the medical department, and Zhong Jianming from the logistics department also died in this unbearable cold winter.
Everyone in the base was immersed in sadness and couldn't recover for a long time. Everyone was short of food and medicine, and they didn't know when they would end.
However, due to the sharp decline in population, Wang Xuelin successfully cultivated crops indoors, which are now enough to cost everyone's life. This is also extremely ironic!
No matter how!Everyone cherishes the chance to survive, and the remaining survivors have finally woken up. They only hope that the end of the world will pass quickly and stop tormenting mankind.
And they can farm the land well with the soldiers, build the base well, and live a good life.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and a typhoon is blowing along the coast where Liu Ning and the others are. Everyone is afraid that the ice will get higher and higher and block the door. They brave the cold wind and rain every day to dig ditches and cut ice outside.
However, because the walls inside the house were frozen and they were lighting fires to cook inside, the return of moisture was particularly severe. Many people in the team not only suffered from frostbite, but also suffered from severe rheumatism. They all groaned in pain every night.
Fortunately, they had paid Fu Hai before and had a lot of old ginger, brown sugar and several boxes of expired antipyretics among their supplies. Liu Ning and Zhang Kui cooked a pot of brown sugar and ginger tea for everyone every day, and the antipyretics were also used for fever. The brothers used it. After taking medicine every day, several brothers hugged a sick teammate to keep them warm.
Every time Liu Ning sees such a scene, he is moved by the unity of the brothers and feels uncomfortable and wants to cry.
Everyone came out with him, but instead of living a good life, they suffered so much.
When the brothers saw his red eyes, they all smiled and persuaded him.
"Brother Ning! We all volunteer!"
Zhang Kui patted him on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, although it's a bit difficult now, we are all together, and life is much more practical and less tiring than at the base!
Even if we can't survive it later, we won't complain!The only regret is that I can no longer see Brother Jie, Xiao Gao, Captain Chen, Zhuang Qi, and Captain Qiu! "
"Ok!"
Liu Ning stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears and smiled, "Brothers, hold on! We will definitely meet one day!"
"Okay! Brother Ning, we believe you!"
In this way, everyone cheered each other up and survived the cold days day after day, and the sick brothers finally made it through.
However, the root of the disease was in his body. Zhang Liang, the youngest in the team, was coughing and wheezing every day, and he was also horribly thin. Everyone was really afraid that he would have some shortcomings, so they had little food and clothing. They will all stick to him alone.
Fortunately, after a period of recovery, he looked much better. At this time, the rain gradually weakened and the strong wind stopped. Everyone became slightly excited, wondering if the weather was about to get warm again.
This time, their expectations were not disappointed. The cold winter weather lasted for 18 months and finally ended one night.
The temperature rose by about 10 degrees that night. In less than a week, the temperature rose back to above 0 degrees. This is obviously not a normal state, but for humans, there is nothing more terrifying than a lifeless winter.
As the weather warmed up and the ice melted, the return of moisture became even more serious. The walls were as wet as rain. Everyone opened the doors and windows to ventilate, and moved all the mattresses, bedding, clothes, etc. that had been covered for more than a year, outdoors. Exposure to the sun.
Liu Ning could no longer sit still. He left 20 people to take care of those brothers who had been sick, so he and Zhang Kui took their brothers out to sea to fish, dry salt, boil salt, and look for food everywhere.
For more than a year, even though everyone has cut down on clothing and diet, the team's supplies are still almost exhausted. They must save something as soon as possible. After all, no one can guarantee what the future will be like.
Facts have proved that Liu Ning and Zhang Kui were quite foresighted. After a month of warming, four or five bases came to replace salt. They said that this cold winter, many people in their respective bases froze to death and there was not much food left. There was not much left, and the supplies for salt were the only things they had left.
And they may have to move later, so they probably won't come here to exchange salt.
Because there was a serious insect infestation in the city where they were staying. There were a large number of mosquitoes causing trouble half a month ago.
Especially at the base that lives on the top of the mountain, the black and red mosquitoes the size of soybeans are flying in every corner.
Once a person is bitten, there will be red, swollen blisters and bumps all over the body and feet, which are itchy and painful. When scratched, yellow pus will flow out.
Because they failed to receive timely treatment, many people developed high fevers, severe shock, and eventually lost their lives.
They tried many methods but failed to eliminate these mosquitoes, so they prepared to move.
After hearing this, Liu Ning and others thought that the seaside where they lived would be in trouble soon, so they took the time to brew a batch of salt, packed up their things, and left the place where they had lived for nearly two years, heading back to where they once lived. Familiar h province.
However, less than a week after they set out, they suffered from insect infestation in the mountains and fields just like those people.
The team members were bitten in great pain and became infected. They could only use salt water to cleanse and reduce inflammation. Fortunately, they had stored a large amount of salt and did not need to save. However, the salt water sprinkled on the wounds caused burning pain. , there were those who couldn't bear it and cried out in pain.
But there is nothing we can do about it. If it is not treated in this way and is allowed to fester, it is likely to cause sepsis in the later stages, leading to death.
However, the effect of just rinsing with salt water is still not ideal. Many children who grew up in rural areas in the team said that using Artemisia twigs can reduce inflammation, so everyone found Artemisia twigs in the wilderness and smashed them with stones. Apply to the wound.
Needless to say, this thing really works. After applying it for a while, the pain and itchiness were relieved. After three or five days, the suppurating wounds began to shrink. Everyone was overjoyed. Knowing that this was a good thing, they stopped and picked it by the roadside every day. Be prepared for emergencies.
Just like this, about two months later, they finally arrived in Province H. Liu Ning and Zhang Kui did not take their brothers back to the experimental base, but found a mountain col to live.
But the mosquito problem had obviously spread here, so the brothers in the team bulldozed all the roots of the trees and grass where they lived. Then no one burned the mugwort and kept fumigating it. After a while, the number decreased a lot.
These species are also very avoidable, and gradually they fly away and go to other places. Everyone finally breathes a sigh of relief. They no longer have to burn mugwort all day long, causing the camp to be filled with smoke and suffocating everyone. Snot and tears streaming down my face.
Now, they can finally free their hands to do things. Every day, Liu Ning and Zhang Kui take the people to cut down trees and build houses, go into the mountains to hunt, and open up wasteland for planting. However, the seeds exchanged from the previous transactions are few, and the yield is not high. The harvest With so few people, they could only survive on prey, supplies exchanged at the beach, and seafood sold in the sun.
But no matter what, at least no one died of hunger, and the brothers firmly believed that they would survive the difficulties.

Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han looked at the animals, which were covered with so many mosquitoes that they could hardly even see them. They only felt their scalps numb and their stomachs churning.
Furry things attract insects, and coupled with the heat and smell, the situation has become more and more serious. However, in just three days, hundreds of chickens and ducks have been bitten to death by mosquitoes, and their blood has been sucked dry.
Three days ago, they noticed several black shadows flying in the sky. When they looked carefully, they found that they were mosquitoes the size of soybeans. They were so frightened that they hid in the house. When they came out half an hour later, they didn't see these things again, so they thought they were mosquitoes. Nothing happened.
But before waiting for a while, Sister Hua and the others went to get water for cooking, and they saw that the water was full of black and red mosquitoes and white eggs.
Qiu Qiu immediately sprinkled insecticide into the water and told everyone not to use the water from outside for the time being.
Afterwards, everyone started to exterminate the pests, but before they could get to the bottom of the mountain, something happened to the breeding farm.
Qiu Qiu was very angry. He immediately led his people to put on isolation suits and fed the livestock and poultry with highly concentrated spiritual spring water. He then took out a large amount of insecticides, mosquito coils, fly killer tablets and other medicines from the space and lit them all. Then he led everyone Out of the breeding farm.
Less than 5 minutes later, everyone standing outside looked through the translucent plastic shed and saw dense black shadows stuck to it, and large pieces fell down.
Qiu Qiu knew that the medicine was working, and his face showed joy. After four full hours, everyone felt that the medicine was almost effective and went into the breeding farm one after another.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Yanbing and Lin Jingzhe, who were walking in front, stepped in, they crushed countless blood-sucking mosquitoes. Their feet were covered with black and red blood, mosquito corpses, and white eggs.
Everyone was so disgusted that they rushed out on the spot and vomited wildly.
"Ugh...it's so disgusting..."
Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han were walking behind and didn't see them. After they ran out, their vision suddenly became clear. They saw that the ground indoors was densely covered with at least one centimeter thick mosquito corpses and eggs. At a glance, they could see black and white. , just like a handful of white sesame seeds sprinkled inside the black beans.
The two of them were so disgusted that they couldn't stand it anymore, so they rushed out and vomited.
However, no matter how disgusting it was, there was still a lot of work to do. After everyone spent a lot of effort to clean and disinfect the farm, they put pills in it.
Afterwards, everyone carried the sprayers distributed by Qiu Qiu on their backs, mixed them with insecticide water, and sprayed everywhere in the base. They did not stop until they were sure that every inch of land and every corner was covered with the pesticide.
Immediately afterwards, they went to the mountains to pick mugwort, burned it everywhere in the base, and then smashed the calamus and put it in water, or in cabinets, drawers, corners and other places where mosquitoes tend to breed, until there were fewer and fewer mosquitoes in the base. Just feel relieved.
