"Qing Wan, you don't have to be afraid. I've already thrown away those dirty things," Liu Guangping reassured his daughter. After comforting her, he fetched a mop and cleaned the bedroom floor thoroughly.
Before long, the floor was restored to its previous neatness, showing no signs of any mess. Liu Guangping let out a long sigh of relief as he carried the mop out of his daughter's room. He thought he had completely cleared everything out, but in reality, under Liu Qingwan's bed lay a half-eaten Cockroach Egg.
This type of cockroach, scientifically known as the American Cockroach, is one of the common species found indoors. The Cockroach Eggs sold online are typically used as live feed for pets. Given the right temperature, the egg cases of American Cockroaches can hatch into nymphs within a week.
Sure enough, just a few days later, Liu Qingwan spotted numerous small brown insects in her bedroom. Terrified, she couldn't bring herself to sleep in her room at night and instead moved her bedding to the sofa in the living room.
Liu Guangping entered his daughter's room and scrutinized the little bugs closely. He recognized them as cockroaches. It was strange; they had never had cockroaches in the house before, so why were there suddenly so many this time?
He gazed at the cockroaches crawling in the corner and muttered to himself. Even though he recognized them as cockroaches, Liu Guangping felt utterly helpless. He didn't have any insecticide for exterminating cockroaches at home, and with deliveries from Haitong City completely halted, even if he had a billion dollars, no courier would come to take an order. This made it impossible for him to purchase insecticide online.
With a sigh, Liu Guangping went to the kitchen and covered their remaining food with plastic bags. The only thing he could do now was protect this food from being contaminated by cockroaches. As for those cockroaches breeding and multiplying in his home, he felt there was nothing he could do about it.
Meanwhile, in the safe house, Lu Xiaoran opened the calendar on his phone and checked the time. It had been several days; those Cockroach Eggs should have hatched by now. The reason Lu Xiaoran sent the Cockroach Eggs was to ensure that these cockroaches would settle down in Liu Qingwan's home.
With these adorable little creatures around, she wouldn't feel lonely in the apocalypse; it was all about companionship. A bright and cheerful smile spread across Lu Xiaoran's face.
Inside the safe house, Lu Xiaoran was living happily, but outside in the open area, the villagers of Dragon Ridge Village were far from happy.
Wang Fugui looked at his phone, which had run out of battery, and sighed. Over the past few days, he had tried countless times to call for help, but most of the time the emergency lines were busy. On the rare occasions he managed to get through, he was met with responses stating that there were not enough personnel available for rescue.
Through the internet, Wang Fugui learned that the entire Dragon Kingdom was now shrouded in toxic gas. Under such circumstances, it seemed unlikely that any help would arrive.
As he gazed at the increasing accumulation of toxic gas at the foot of the mountain, Wang Fugui began to feel that this gas would never dissipate. The food that the villagers had brought up the mountain was running low, and if the gas did not clear soon, they would be completely out of supplies in just three to five days.
Wang Fugui lowered his head in thought, searching for a solution.
