Chapter 227: The End Of Locust Plague

Seeing that the man had recovered after drinking the diluted lake water, Yao Ran stood up and returned to the 19th floor.

After closing the metal door, she took out disinfectant from her space and thoroughly

disinfected herself, Long Yu, the metal door, and the stairs. When she was done, she and Long Yu went back upstairs.

Behind them, the man picked up his torch and hid the bottle of water inside his dirty clothes. That bottle of water might be the only thing that could save his family.

At ten o'clock that evening, the military finally took action to control the locusts. They deployed a large-scale operation-using large vacuum machines to suck up the locusts and store them in containers.

Because of the military's efforts, by the time Yao Ran woke up the next day, the number of locusts had significantly decreased. The vacuum machines had sucked away some locusts, the survivors caught some of them, and the remaining locusts sensed the danger and left Juncheng City.

When Yao Ran opened the curtains and looked out, the sky was no longer dark with locusts. She watched the scattered locusts flying around for a moment before closing the curtain.

After taking a bath and having breakfast inside her space, she put on her protective suit and left her apartment. Although their numbers had decreased drastically, many locusts still covered the buildings and streets.

As she opened her door, Yao Ran noticed more bags piled in the corridor. Before she could knock on Long Yu's door to ask, she saw him returning with Shi Xuan, each carrying a few bags of locusts.

Long Yu placed the bags alongside the others before walking up to her. "Why are you up so early?" He asked.

Seeing his sweat-covered face, Yao Ran replied, "I had enough sleep. Why didn't you wake me?"

Noticing the guilt in her eyes, Shi Xuan said, "Your job is to clean and cook the locusts. Why wake you up when there is none to clean yet?"

When she heard that, Yao Ran smiled at him and said, "It's so hot now. Make sure you all stay hydrated."

"Alright." Shi Xuan replied, then went to get a few bottles of lemonade from the refrigerator before heading downstairs.

After he left, Yao Ran handed a bottle of lake water to Long Yu before he went downstairs to catch more locusts.

The military and the survivors worked together to end the locust plague, and everyone was finally able to fill their stomachs again. With the number of locusts they caught, the survivors would not go hungry for at least half a month.

However, without the threat of locusts, other illnesses still torment the survivors.

Cholera, followed by protozoan viruses, broke out everywhere. The government issued another notice to recruit corpse collectors, disinfection personnel, and people skilled in making disinfectants and pesticides.

Six days later, Huang Zhihui visited Yao Ran.
