Chapter 30 Cockroach
on the flatbed.
In addition to Zhao Xiaoyan, Chen Mu also placed two large pieces of plastic, about the size of a person, mainly to make various suitable containers when needed.
The storage room belongs to the canteen, so the straight-line distance between the two places is not far, but there are twists and turns in the middle, and you need to walk a long cement path.
If you take a shortcut through the grass, the journey will be much shorter, but firstly the road is difficult and the flatbed truck will be difficult to pass. Secondly, the dangers in the grass are scary to think about.
Zhao Xiaoyan sat in the car for a while, then got down and walked around by herself. When she was tired, she returned to the car.
Encountered several waves of ants along the way.
As Tang Jing said, the big black ants in the classroom are actually not common, but the house ants in front of us, which are considered small animals even to humans today, are the mainstream.
Although they are small in size, their numbers are terrifying. Moreover, ants don’t care about the size of their opponents. They will always go up and take a bite when encountering something edible.
So the three of them always walked around them.
Fortunately, the few waves of ants we encountered were not too many. As long as they were not too close, we could still hide if we couldn't afford to provoke them.
Went out for about two hours.
Finally arrived in front of the main building of the cafeteria.
The main building of the cafeteria, which is three stories high and covers an area of 1,500 square meters, is usually responsible for lunch for more than 1,000 teachers and students of Ziwei High School. It is also one of the most familiar places for students.
But I have never been to the kitchen before.
At the back door, there are several small doors for canteen employees to enter and exit, all of which are tightly closed, and the three or four steps also hinder the progress of the three people.
There is only one truck lane available.
The overall terrain of the canteen is relatively high. This passage is a climb of about 30 degrees. For today's humans, the length is like climbing a small mountain.
The three of them avoided the friction zone in the middle and went all the way up from the right position.
Zhao Xiaoyan got out of the car and walked on his own, while Wei Dalei pushed the flatbed truck and climbed up without any pressure, even faster than Chen Mu.
This several-meter-long climb, with stops and starts, ultimately took nearly twenty minutes.
After waiting to go up, and then looking down, it feels like climbing to the top of the mountain and looking down.
"That way."
Chen Mu pointed to the double-door entrance on the right.
In order to prevent pests and mice, most of the doors in the canteen are one-piece, that is, there is no door gap. However, the double door used to transport goods, the door on the left side is ajar at this time.
Maybe when disaster strikes, the staff here are still working.
The whole cafeteria was quiet.
The ceiling height is much higher than the storage room and higher than the classroom.
Walking inside, a cold air swept in.
The ground has become sticky due to long-term greasy erosion, even a little sticky to the feet.
"I have never been here before." Zhao Xiaoyan felt uneasy, but at the same time, she was also extremely curious.
"Time is still short now. In a week or two, the vegetables stored in the canteen will rot and attract a lot of flies and crawlers, so I am anxious to come over as soon as possible. It is best to move more supplies at once."
" It shouldn't matter now."
"Don't be careless."
"What if you really encounter a mouse?" Zhao Xiaoyan subconsciously leaned towards Wei Dalei.
"Please don't follow me." Wei Dalei grinned happily.
Chen Mu sighed, if it weren't for the apocalypse, this guy would be single for the rest of his life.
"It's been such a long time. It's normal for rats to appear in the cafeteria, so we have to be as quick as possible..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xiaoyan's face changed drastically, and he looked behind Chen Mu with a big mouth.
Chen Mu didn't even have time to turn around. He ran to the side of the flatbed truck and reached out to touch the huge piece of plastic.
The next moment, the piece of plastic suddenly changed and instantly turned into a semicircular cover. Together with Zhao Xiaoyan and Wei Dalei, the three of them were covered in it.
Until this moment, Chen Mu dared to look back.
It was a cockroach the size of a car.
The whole body is covered in oil, and the tentacles that are whipping rapidly are like whips, and the fine hairs on the six legs are clearly visible.
Wei Dalei didn't even react.
Zhao Xiaoyan, on the other hand, was so frightened that she sat directly on the ground.
"F*ck!"
When Old Wei noticed it and looked back, he was frightened. Although he was reckless, he was only an ordinary person after all. Seeing this scene, a normal person would be scared.
Chen Mu waited until the plastic cover took effect, then pressed a handle inside and held it tightly.
To be honest, his calves were trembling unconsciously.
The reason why humans always regard Zerg as the imaginary enemy in science fiction works is because the appearance of insects can cause people the most discomfort.
Even without shrinking, most humans still have an instinctive dislike and fear of cockroaches.
Especially the American cockroach in the south, which can reach 3 centimeters in length and is very fast, like a special sports car, frightening countless big northerners who came to the south for the first time to the point of mental collapse.
And, most importantly.
This guy!
It can fly!
When he is forced to do something anxious, he will call you directly in the face and ask you if you are afraid.
Even if you slap it to death with a slipper, the splashing liquid can make you sick all day long.
This is a cockroach.
Don't eat people.
But it can disgust people to death.
As for Chen Mu and the others now, although the cockroach in front of them is just an ordinary cockroach, it is bigger than all of them combined. Even if this guy doesn't bite, he can still knock someone half to death.
"It...it...can eat people?" Zhao Xiaoyan stammered.
Chen Mu admired her for being able to speak out under such circumstances.
After all, Wei Dalei was much more courageous, and he had the girl he liked beside him. He took a step forward to block Zhao Xiaoyan, and raised the mace in his hand. He waited until Chen Mu's plastic cover could no longer resist, and then he would fight head-on.
"It's probably nothing, it can't get in." Chen Mu comforted.
"Come in and I'll knock him flat with a hammer!" Wei Dalei tightened his grip on the weapon a little more, as if to cheer himself up.
Fortunately, cockroaches are not particularly aggressive insects. This little cockroach circled around the plastic cover a few times, as if it could smell something, but could not touch the food.
finally.
After shaking its tentacles a few times, it crawled away.
The three of them exhaled in unison.
"Oh my God!"
Wei Dalei's momentum was released and he almost fell down. He was about to say something, but when he saw Zhao Xiaoyan beside him, he immediately stood up straight and pretended to be tough: "Young man, let's see if I hammer it to death next time! "
Chen Mu also felt a sense of exhaustion as if he had survived a catastrophe.
Although most of the time, cockroaches will not catch live animals to eat, but when the real thing comes, the instinctive fear cannot be resisted by talking about it.
Humans are still too fragile.
Especially the psychological aspect.
"How are you doing? Should we continue or should we go back first?" Chen Mu quickly adjusted himself, but he didn't know how the other two were doing, especially Zhao Xiaoyan.
Wei Dalei glanced at Zhao Xiaoyan with embarrassment.
However, before he could speak, the girl who was so frightened that she was sitting on the ground had stood up. After taking a deep breath, she said seriously: "I have no problem."
Wei Dalei smiled: "Then continue!"
"Okay! ."
