The tide of scorpions covered the entire village. The postman's motorcycle was still running, but its owner was already covered in scorpions.
After the first evolution, these scorpions were no longer afraid of light. On the first day, they just instinctively dug into the ground to hide. If it was in the past, when the postman walked under the sun, these scorpions would never come out to attack humans.
The scorpions dug back into the ground again. When night fell again, the black tide surged out, and their numbers increased again.
The Scorpion King was extremely fast. It separated itself from the group and stood on a small hill, as if it was sniffing something. Even scorpions that hadn't evolved had a very sensitive sense of smell. In the past, people who drove the scorpions only needed to carry pungent chemicals such as asphalt, paint, gasoline, and pesticides to make all the scorpions retreat.
At this time, the Scorpion King was trying to determine the route of the black tide, but at this moment, a gray rat with a tuft of black hair on its head suddenly jumped in front of the Scorpion King and looked at the huge scorpion curiously.
The Scorpion King stared at the gray rat, and saw that the gray rat was about to reach out its claws to poke it …
The Scorpion King's tail stabbed at the gray rat like a sharp arrow, wanting to make it pay for its curiosity, but … its tail was caught …
The Scorpion King was angry. It stretched out its pincers to attack, but the gray rat retracted its claws and retreated to a place five meters away, looking at it quietly. The Scorpion King didn't expect a gray rat to be so fast, and both sides were in a stalemate …
The gray rat seemed to want to attack the Scorpion King again, but suddenly there was a dense clatter behind the Scorpion King. The black tide had finally caught up, and it was terrifying.
The gray rat turned around and ran. The Scorpion King seemed to be a little proud. It hissed, and all the black tide followed it in the direction where the gray rat escaped.
…
Lü Shu had just finished his sword practice in the morning and was making breakfast. Xiaoxiong Xu and Lü Xiaoyu were waiting at the table.
Knock, knock, knock. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Lü Xiaoyu went to open the door, but she didn't know the person at the door. Lü Shu poked his head out of the kitchen and looked at the middle-aged man outside the door. "Who are you looking for?"
The middle-aged man was followed by a person who looked like an assistant. The leather shoes on his feet were also shiny, and it was obvious that he was a successful person. He smiled at Lü Shu and said, "Young man, are your parents home?"
Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu looked at each other, and Lü Shu said, "Speak frankly."
"It's like this. I want to buy this house at a high price. Are you willing to sell it?" The middle-aged man smiled.
"No, you can ask other people." Lü Shu was stunned for a moment. Who would buy such a shabby little yard?
Eh, that's not right. Lü Shu had already guessed why the other party wanted to buy it. It was probably because of the collapse of the office building that was attacked by termites yesterday, so some of the local tycoons didn't dare to live on the higher floors.
There weren't many villas in Luoyang City, and there were very few empty houses. Last night, someone said that the prices of villas were rising, and some of the local tycoons couldn't buy them anymore.
So, since they didn't manage to get a villa, they turned their attention to this kind of single-story house?
With the other party's means, it wasn't difficult to buy a single-story house and renovate it. However, Lü Shu already had feelings for this place, so he wouldn't move even if they offered him another villa.
"Uh, wait a minute!" Lü Shu suddenly said, "What do you think of the house next door?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. "I knocked on the door, but no one answered. But I see that the yard is quite clean, so there should be someone living there. Do you have his contact information?"
Of course, there was no one living next door. That house was given to Lü Shu by Li Xianyi. The yard was clean only because Lü Xiaoyu cleaned it every day.
It wasn't a good idea to keep the house empty, so Lü Shu decided not to sell it. Anyway, the old master had given him the house, so he had no intention of connecting the two houses.
In the end, before Lü Shu could say anything, Lü Xiaoyu, who was behind him, said expressionlessly, "You can't sell it. What if the old master comes back to live there?"
Lü Shu thought about it. It turned out that Lü Xiaoyu cleaned the house every day with this in mind. He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "I'm sorry, I won't be selling it then."
With a bang, Lü Shu closed the door and continued cooking.
Nowadays, rich people were no longer willing to live in high-rise buildings. Moreover, they were frantically putting out information to hire bodyguards, afraid that the mutation of living creatures would affect them. As the saying went, the rich would not sit under the eaves. None of them wanted to put themselves in a dangerous environment.
The office building in Luoyang City had collapsed, and many houses in other cities had been invaded by termites. This was a global panic. The number of posts on the foundation's forum instantly exploded to four times that of before. They were all discussing what would happen if a disaster really came. In many places, the number of robberies and other crimes had increased by more than ten times. This was slightly better in China, where it was similar to before. The only difference was that the supermarkets had been sold out, especially food.
When the awakened ones appeared, everyone had experienced such emotions. However, no matter how awakened the awakened ones were, they were still human, and there was room for communication. However, things like termites were different.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door again. Lü Shu opened the door and saw a little mouse. The little mouse gestured to Xiaoxiong Xu for a long time. Without saying a word, Xiaoxiong Xu ran out with his small school bag.
"Where are you going? Dinner is almost ready," shouted Lü Shu.
However, Xiaoxiong Xu did not even turn around. For it, this was a great opportunity to make a contribution. Did it not see Lü Shu praising it yesterday? Although his expression was a little ferocious when he praised it, it was still a compliment.
The black scorpion tide surged toward the urban area of Luoyang City. The Scorpion King could smell the scent of flesh and blood far away from the urban area. However, just as they were about to enter the urban area, countless mice rushed out of a sewage pipe on the side of the road.
In the breeding farm, there were about 2,000 to 5,000 scorpions in a nest. The scorpion pool in this village was not small, with a nest of 4,000 scorpions.
After a night of transformation and reproduction, the scorpion tide had reached a number of 12000 scorpions. Among them, more than 2,000 were the remaining scorpions after the battle last night, and more than 9,000 were newborn scorpions. When the Scorpion King saw that its tribe had grown to such an extent, its consciousness swelled to the limit.
With this number, massacring a village should not be a problem. They no longer had to be afraid of the humans of the past!
Then, just as it was about to massacre the humans, it encountered a group of mice. Their numbers were very exaggerated, but … the number of mice … was even more exaggerated …
Xiaoxiong Xu rode the largest gray mouse and slowly came to the front of the Scorpion King. The group of mice had already surrounded the scorpions. Xiaoxiong Xu slowly took out a small notebook and wrote, "You are surrounded."
Although the scorpions could not understand it, and it could not speak, Xiaoxiong Xu felt that it was very cool.
