My barrage in the wild can be withdrawn

Chapter 309 Locust plague
After throwing the fish basket into the lake, Zhou Chen returned to the shelter.

The cooking process of smoked fish is much faster than that of bacon.

In just a few hours, the fish is almost smoked.

"There is a situation, there is a situation..."

While Zhou Chen was checking the smoked fish, the parrot on the branch suddenly called out.

what's the situation?
Zhou Chen looked around, but found nothing.

"There is a situation, there is a situation..."

Chi Hui was still screaming.

Zhou Chen knew that although this guy was a talker, he had never made a mistake in this kind of thing.

Standing on a branch while eating ashes, his field of vision is much wider than that of Zhou Chen.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen hurriedly lifted the drone into the air.

But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look almost scared Zhou Chen to death.

Just as the drone climbed to the branches of the acacia tree, billowing smoke appeared in the live broadcast.

The smoke is far away, but it can be seen that the smoke is approaching Zhou Chen.

"What is this? A sandstorm?"

"Are there sandstorms in Africa?"

"Not quite like it."

"Isn't it the rainy season? Why are there sandstorms?"

The fans in the live broadcast room also looked confused when they saw the picture on the screen.

Compared to the confusion of the fans, Zhou Chen saw some clues.

He felt that the thick smoke seemed to have a direction...

Is it? ?
Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed that something was wrong.

"Damn it, it's going to be scrapped!"

Zhou Chen's face was gloomy for a long time, and he suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Eat ashes, come here!~"

Sensing that something was wrong, Zhou Chen hurriedly called down the parrot that was standing guard on the tree.

After getting along for this period of time, the intimacy between Chi Hui and Zhou Chen has reached 93.

Although the intimacy has not reached 100, but when the intimacy reaches 90 or more, it will be convenient for them to understand Zhou Chen's instructions.

Chihui flapped his wings and flew down from the branch.

After putting the opponent into the shelter, Zhou Chen moved the ladder from the side of the shelter, and moved the food on the food rack into the shelter.

Zhou Chen also threw the unfinished smoked fish into the shelter.

hum~ hum~ hum~
Before Zhou Chen finished, there was a deafening buzzing sound from the live broadcast room.

Turning around and taking a look, the cloud of smoke had already reached the sky above Zhou Chen.

"Fuck, so fast!"

Zhou Chen yelled loudly while moving things into the shelter.

While he was moving things, a grasshopper landed on the roof of the shelter.

In an instant, the originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy.

Looking up, millions of grasshoppers covered the scorching sun.

Hu~hu~hu~
Gusts of wind swept across, and grasshoppers began to fall beside him.

In just a moment, it was dark.

Although there is still a lot of food confiscated, it is too late.

The moment the locusts crossed the border, Zhou Chen got into the shelter.

The fans in the live broadcast room finally recovered from the shocking scene in front of them.

"Fuck, locust plague!"

"Where are there so many grasshoppers!"

"I thought it was a sandstorm, but I didn't expect it to be locusts."

"Patients with intensive phobia are forced to withdraw from the live broadcast room."

"There are so many, I get goosebumps all over my body."

"There is still a plague of locusts here..."

The scene of the locust plague is very uncomfortable. Although Zhou Chen is hiding in the shelter, he still feels uncomfortable.

smack~ smack~
Zhou Chen slapped the grasshopper that got into the hole of the shelter to death.

"General locust plagues appear in the dry season, but now it's still rainy season, and there are locust plagues. I'm too remorseful..."

Zhou Chen complained while patting the grasshopper.

"Brother Chen, how could there be locust plagues in Africa?"

Seeing a barrage on the public screen, Zhou Chen smiled wryly and said, "I don't know, but the locust plague is not unique to any country. The locust plague is a worldwide disaster, and it has a long history. Locusts like warmth and dryness very much. Locust plagues are often severe Droughts are accompanied by the so-called "extreme drought brings locusts" and "long-term droughts lead to locusts."

After a slight pause, Zhou Chen continued to analyze: "With the general trend of global warming, especially the rise in winter temperatures, this is conducive to the increase of overwintering eggs of locusts, which will provide a new force for the outbreak of locust plagues in the coming year."

In recent years, there have been many large locust plagues in Africa, and the disasters are quite serious.

It is said that once the locusts pass, not a single blade of grass is left, which makes the already underdeveloped African brothers even worse.

Zhou Chen felt that it was impossible to encounter such a thing during the rainy season, but he did not expect that the disaster that happened once in decades would happen to him.

smack~ smack~
Zhou Chen shot the locusts that crawled into the shelter to death, and strung them into strings.

Picking up the locust skewers, he smiled bitterly and said, "There are so many locusts, it's enough for me to eat a few meals."

Although Zhou Chen is a man with golden fingers, facing this worldwide problem, he has no choice but to comfort himself with a few words.

click ~ click ~ click ~
Chihui pecked hard, and a locust was swallowed into his mouth and chewed.

Zhou Chen looked at the ashes, then at the dark sky, and was speechless for a while.

"What time is it, and I still want to eat..."

Zhou Chen took a bite of the smoked fish and said angrily.

The locusts all over the sky made Zhou Chen depressed, and the smoked fish in his mouth was like chewing wax.

"In fact, the appearance of locust plagues has been recorded in the Book of Songs more than 2500 years ago. Every time a locust plague occurs, a large number of civilians will endure famine or even starve to death. The locusts that break out are mainly desert locusts. If the alpine zone in the northern part of Eurasia is not gone, many regions and countries on the earth will not be immune to their invasion."

As Zhou Chen spoke, he thought of a report many years ago.

"It is said that the reason why locusts have been so rampant in recent years can be traced back to 18 years ago at the earliest."

"At that time, there were two heavy rains in the desert of the Arabian Peninsula due to the typhoon, which caused the desert vegetation to grow. Such conditions were very conducive to the reproduction of these desert locusts, so the first large number of locusts began to appear, and began to migrate after eating up the native plants. Flying to some countries in East Africa, although locusts only live for two or three months, their reproductive ability is particularly strong, and they can lay more than 50 eggs at a time, so the number of locust plagues in each batch is dozens of times They are growing, and their reproduction does not pick a place, no matter where they are, as long as they are full, they can lay eggs on the spot."

"So locust disasters come in waves. They migrate very fast, trying to eat more food and produce more offspring in a limited time."

Locusts come and go quickly.

About an hour passed.

Zhou Chen felt that the buzzing outside was much quieter.

Taking the camera, he thought about it and said: "This wave of locusts seems to have passed, I decided to go out and have a look now..."

Putting on his equipment, Zhou Chen slowly opened the door of the shelter.

But when he opened the door, Zhou Chen was dumbfounded.

"This is so..."

Looking at the scorched land outside, Zhou Chen felt as if he had traveled through time.

At this moment, not only Zhou Chen was stupid.

The audience in the live broadcast room also dropped their jaws in shock.

"All the grass has been eaten?"

"Fuck, the grassland has been eaten into a desert."

"This is too scary."

"I finally know why the locust plague is a worldwide problem."

"The locust plague is truly terrifying."

Although the audience in the live broadcast room were surprised, they didn't understand it as deeply as Zhou Chen.

Looking at the devastated grass, Zhou Chen's mood was extremely complicated.

He changed his playful expression from the past, and said solemnly: "The occurrence of the locust plague is mainly caused by natural factors, but it is undeniable that there are quite a few human factors."

"Locusts must lay eggs on land with less than 50% vegetation coverage. If a place is beautiful and there is no bare land, locusts cannot reproduce."

"In some places, the awareness of ecology is not strong. Some people simply think that pollution control is the only way to protect the environment. However, they don't pay much attention to improving the vegetation, soil and microclimate in areas suitable for locusts to live, because they will not see benefits in the short term. Therefore, In order to fundamentally prevent and control locust plagues, we should pay great attention to the protection of the ecological environment."

He paused, and then said: "Although I'm just a small anchor, and I'm a soft-spoken person, I implore the Chen family's army to pay attention to environmental protection, not for others, but for ourselves..."

an hour ago.

This is still a green grassland, but now it is a high slope of loess.

This kind of visual impact cannot be experienced just by talking about it casually.

The locusts ate most of the grass roots, and also increased the difficulty of Zhou Chen's wilderness survival by a level.

Compared with the tender grass that has been completely wiped out on the ground, the leaves of the acacia tree still retain some vitality.

After brushing off the grasshoppers on his body, Zhou Chen decided to go out and have a look.

Although these locusts are large in number, they also have flight paths.

The Serengeti grassland is huge, and Zhou Chen doesn't believe that these guys can eat up the entire grassland.

Picking up his ax and stepping on his bow, he left the camp.

Considering safety and mobility, Zhou Chen did not go out with the ashes, but locked him in the shelter.

Pushing open the gate of the fenced courtyard, Zhou Chen couldn't help but take another deep breath.

He found that not only his camp was affected, but a large grassland outside the camp had become bare.

Looking at the grasshoppers that were still jumping on the ground, Zhou Chen couldn't get angry at all.

Stepping on two grasshoppers to death with one foot, Zhou Chen vented his anger.

But he knew that the plague of locusts could not be stepped on.

Regarding this matter, Zhou Chen was powerless.

After a while, he came to the lake.

Looking at the layer of grasshoppers floating on the lake, Zhou Chen not only sighed again.

But as soon as he sighed, the surface of the lake seemed to be boiling.

puff~ puff~ puff~
The sound of the grasshopper struggling disturbed the fish in the water.

In an instant.

Groups of fish will float to the surface to look for food.

Compared to Zhou Chen's depression, Yu'er happily enjoyed this gluttonous feast.

Okay~
Zhou Chen grinned, not knowing what to say.

Looking at the grasshoppers that kept disappearing, Zhou Chen's nervous mood eased a lot.

Water is the foundation of Zhou Chen's survival in the wilderness.

He was afraid that the locusts would pollute the lake, so he came to have a look at the first time.

Now it seems that the water source should be no problem.

After checking the water source, he moved towards the second location.

Cassava is one of Zhou Chen's staple foods, he must go and see it.

"Fuck, it's useless this time."

Zhou Chen discovered that the originally emerald green plants were now covered by bright yellow ones.

Without leaves, cassava will not continue to grow.

To drive away the locusts, he dug out the cassava.

"These damned guys, I have to skewer them and grill them tonight."

Zhou Chen was digging cassava, and his mouth was not idle.

After half an hour.

Zhou Chen dug a total of more than a dozen cassava.

The cassava leaves have been eaten, and it is difficult to find them.

This place was marked by Zhou Chen in advance, otherwise he might not even be able to find the cassava.

Putting all the cassava in his backpack, Zhou Chen walked towards the third location.

In addition to cassava, Zhou Chen also has a source of staple food, the baobab tree.

Fortunately, the tree was not infested as the baobab was not in the migratory path of the locusts.

But just in case, Zhou Chen still picked some baobab fruits.

explored a circle.

He found that the area from the camp to the lake had been eaten up by locusts.

Baobab trees and areas further north have not been affected yet.

"These locusts are just too nasty."

Thinking that he could only explore to the north side of the camp in the future, Zhou Chen was not angry at all.

The fans in the live broadcast room were also shocked by the destructive power of the locusts.

"This swarm of locusts is too scary."

"In just a few hours, they actually devoured the grassland into a trajectory."

"The destructive power of locusts is indeed too strong."

"The boss usually catches a few and roasts them at night to relieve the gas."

"That's right, a few more skewers of grilled grasshoppers."

On the return journey, the netizens in the live broadcast room were also very upset by the behavior of locusts that did not grow any grass in the places they passed.

"There is a situation, there is a situation~"

As soon as he arrived near the camp, Zhou Chen vaguely heard the cry of eating ashes.

"Eh? Are you shouting after eating ashes?"

Stopping, Zhou Chen listened carefully.

"There is a situation, there is a situation~"

Not long after he stopped, the distant voice shouted again.

Hearing that, Zhou Chen hurriedly ran towards the camp.

Zhou Chen was shocked when he opened the fence door.

The food rack was overturned, the pile of firewood was overturned, and even Zhou Chen's lunch box for stewing meat was overturned.

Today's camp is extremely messy, as if it has been ransacked by bandits.

And the culprit of all this is the few vultures in the sanctuary.

"Fuck!"

Seeing them eating the dried fish that they hadn't had time to harvest just now, Zhou Chen not only cursed angrily.

But before his voice fell, the vulture had already fled in a panic.

The other party reacted quickly, and didn't even give Zhou Chen a chance to shoot an arrow.

"His grandma's."

Throwing down the longbow and backpack, Zhou Chen ran to the side of the shelter in a hurry.

"Am I Mercury retrograde today? Why do I carry my back like this..."

Looking at the dried smoked fish that was smashed into pieces, Zhou Chen doubted life for a while.

Putting the only handful of dried meat left on the bacon rack into the lunch box, he said regretfully, "I was careless this time."

"I thought the fence would keep the carnivores away, but I forgot that there are vultures, which are disgusting."

Zhou Chen said while cleaning up the camp.

"If I'm not mistaken, this group of vultures should be attracted by the locust swarm."

When cleaning the camp, Zhou Chen found that there were a lot fewer grasshoppers on the ground.

"Huh, before the locust plague, I took the dried meat into the shelter."

Taking a long breath, Zhou Chen said with some gratitude.

As he spoke, he opened the straw curtains of the shelter.

But the next moment, Zhou Chen was in a bad mood.

Damn vulture, I, Zhou Chen, are at odds with you...
