Chapter 6 Chapter 4 Chaos in Nature

After reading the newspaper, I gasped. Obviously, the termites that disappeared overnight have all hid in the third floor of the underground parking lot in this community. They must be afraid of something. I was very concerned, so I turned on the computer to investigate a little bit.This investigation directly petrified me.In the past six months, the ecology of Pigeon City seems to have been cheated by an online game, and everything is being stirred by an invisible hand. I didn't go out that night, and I investigated until late at night, and my brows became more and more wrinkled unconsciously.There are so many mysteries, so many that I am completely at a loss.In the past six months, most of the biological indicators in Pigeon City have been abnormal. Although there is no way to prove it, I believe that many people in Pigeon City may feel it.

Lu Xiaoxiao nestled on the sofa, I don't know if it's because I have the habit of staying up late.She put down the computer in her hand a long time ago, looking out of the window where the light rain was falling. "Snack?" I patted my stomach lightly, looked at the wall clock opposite, it was 3:30 in the morning, "I'm a little hungry." "Ok." The girl nodded without hesitation. "Only instant noodles." To be honest, I am only good at instant noodles. There are basically no ingredients in the kitchen cabinet, but there are a lot of instant noodles stored.This guy, Ye Yuxin, seems to be used to instant noodles and delivery, I think her classmates don't know, this beautiful girl hides a nerd who eats instant noodles under her glamorous appearance. female heart.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but want to expose her, and surprise and break the hearts of the men who secretly admired her. After the instant noodles are cooked, some eggs and dried seafood are added to it, and the smell is quite rich.Putting down the two bowls of noodles on the coffee table in the living room, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately rushed up like a bird waiting to be fed. I really don't know how hungry she is, the girl can't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat it, completely ignoring the heat. For some reason, I couldn't help laughing.Pulled out a tissue from the box, and gently wiped the messy soup around her mouth, the girl was slightly taken aback, and then continued to eat.

I also picked up the chopsticks, and the things I made were admired like a starving ghost, which really inspired me, and I felt a sense of satisfaction spontaneously.Putting the noodles into my mouth, I frowned. Sure enough, I am not fit for cooking. The soup is too salty, and even the instant noodles can be made so unpalatable. I really should reflect on myself. Carefully peeking at Lu Xiaoxiao, she still ate happily.Does this guy have no sense of taste at all?After paying homage to the Wu Zang Temple, putting away the bowls and chopsticks, and just about to chat with her, suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the window, as if something hit the glass.

The two of us were taken aback. We saw the night lingering outside, and the light from the outside of the house disappeared ten meters away. Within this range, there were dense groups of insects flying crazily It was as impenetrable as a blizzard in severe winter. Insects in the rain fell from time to time because the rain wet their wings, and some of them hit the glass desperately. The double-layer reinforced glass "squeaked" under the impact like a cannon.Not long after, almost every household upstairs and downstairs was woken up. Many people turned on the lights in their homes and let out exclamations of surprise.

The insect farce did not stop until an hour and a half later. At first, Lu Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed out of curiosity, but soon got tired and curled up in a corner of the sofa and fell asleep. I only moved away from the window when the last insect flew away. Slightly sighed, his head was in a mess.The scene just now was a spectacle. In a reinforced concrete city, it was already difficult to see so many insects gathering, and it was still at night, which was simply unimaginable. Covering the girl's body with a quilt, I rubbed my messy head and went back to my room to sleep. On the second day when I came to Pigeon City, because I didn't sleep well all night, when I woke up at 9:30, I had two huge dark circles around my eyes.

Lu Xiaoxiao, who is almost an alien in her living habits, is biting her toothbrush and rinsing her mouth, which shocked me a bit. It seems that she still has some daily self-care ability. After I simply washed up, I wanted to go out to investigate something I cared about, but when I was about to open the door, I felt that the corner of my clothes was gently pulled.Turning my head to look, the girl was pulling me pitifully, blinking her eyes, hesitating to speak. "Do you want to go out?" I asked knowingly. "Ok." Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, her expression was still as dull as before, but her eyes radiated a hint of longing.

"Where are you going?" I asked again. "School." The girl took out her schedule from her pocket, "There are classes." "Do aliens need to learn too?" I teased. "Integrating into life on this planet is a must without revealing your identity." The girl said for sure. I scratched my head, "You bastard, you say you are from Planet Alpha Cygnus when you see people, you must have been exposed a long time ago." The girl tilted her head in confusion and thought for a while, "Ye Yuxin said, if you tell people you're an alien, you won't be exposed."

This principle seems to be true, at least even with such rich experience and excellent imagination, it is hard to believe that the girl in front of me is really an alien.Of course, it's a pity that this radio girl is 100% a purebred of the earth, and she is ruined by escapism for a beautiful person. Without wasting any more foam, I took her out and downstairs.As soon as I got out of the elevator, I walked into the community green belt and saw a group of people surrounded by mother-in-law and mother-in-law. From time to time, exclamation came from far away. These people have nothing to do every day, they get together and gossip all day long, they are really enviably idle.Yesterday we talked about the dead bodies in the underground parking lot, but what shocking news is there today?While complaining in my heart, I walked out.

Suddenly, from under a big tree above my head, something like a group of "catkins" suddenly fell on top of my head.When I was about to brush it away with my hand, the group of "catkins" actually moved, bypassed my hand in a very tricky posture, and fell to the ground. I was taken aback, and when I looked closely, it was indeed catkins.It's just that the catkins look very strange.I picked up a branch not far away, touched it lightly, and the catkins jumped out like a cricket. "Is it some kind of bug?" I froze all over, but my head didn't react. What kind of bug is so strange?Immediately, I used a branch to cut it, and the insect quickly jumped long. Its tail opened and closed like a peacock, which looked very strange.

When I looked up at the surrounding trees, I was surprised to find that the trees in the entire community seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost.Every tree is covered with this kind of insects, densely packed, I don't know how many there are. Grabbing one and putting it in my hand, I finally figured out their true appearance. These insects have oblate bodies, are mostly white and light cyan in color, and have six legs.A pinch of white fluff at the tail occupies more than half of the body length, and it opens and closes like a peacock's tail.When it stops, the fluff of the bug spreads out, covering almost the whole body, and when it jumps, the fluff will be clustered together. The strange insects lurk on the branches and leaves, like a ball of white fur. From a distance, it looks like a small piece of fluff wet by raindrops sticking to the tree. It is impossible to detect it unless you look carefully.With a light touch with your hand, the "little white hair ball" jumped up quickly, and the visual distance was almost one meter away. After seeing them clearly, I also have a preliminary concept of this thing.Insects are abstract in appearance, almost unlike creatures on earth. Lu Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously: "Aliens?" "Of course not." I smiled and explained, "This kind of insect has a very beautiful common name, called Yuyi. The scientific name is wax cicada, and it is a pest." "Although this kind of insect looks cute, it is very harmful to plants. It mainly survives by sucking the juice of leaves, young shoots, flower spikes and fruits of plants. It is distributed in most parts of Asia, mainly in the Rutaceae family. plants and some fruit trees." "But their tails are very Martian." The girl seemed to have no fear of insects by nature, so she tore off Yuyi's tail and put it in front of her eyes to study. I was disgusted by her actions, and hurriedly threw away the wax cicada struggling to die in the palm of my hand. "The fluff on the tail of the wax cicada larva is actually a kind of wax secreted by itself, which is an important self-protection tool for it." "It can be camouflaged. When resting, the body is hidden inside the fluff. It looks like a ball of catkins from a distance, thereby confusing natural enemies. It can also be used as a clone. Since the fluff is only a kind of wax, it can be used when birds attack. Shed to act as an umbrella, and then use the super bounce to get out quickly." "Moreover, when fruit farmers spray pesticides on fruit trees, the lint acts like an umbrella, blocking a large amount of pesticides, and the insects come into contact with very little." My tone hesitated for a moment, "The uninvited guests last night should be these wax cicadas. There is indeed a large orchard in the south of Pigeon City, and I am afraid that they flew here from there. But, why are they flying into the city? There is no food. , and no living space. Strange!" Everything is indeed very strange.Ever since I came to Pigeon City, I have encountered several strange incidents in a row. The termites gathered yesterday and the cicadas entered the city today. Out of the community and on the road, almost any place with trees within sight is basically covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and those wax cicadas are everywhere, attracting the attention of passers-by.From time to time, there were cars of TV stations driving on the road, and waves of reporters got out of the cars to interview and film this strange biological event. The gate of Pigeon City University is on the other side of the intersection, and the students coming and going are also very interested in the wax cicada. Groups of students walked into the school, talking and talking.Some people even spread the theory of the end of the world everywhere, saying that the recent chaos in Pigeon City is a harbinger of the end. However, such extreme remarks are of course laughed off as crazy. Some students even ran up to me and said that the end of the world is coming, that there is no need to save the money that should be saved, and that they should enjoy themselves in time, etc. I laughed secretly and almost had cramps.The student's line of sight accidentally touched Lu Xiaoxiao behind me, his neck twitched suddenly, and he left immediately without talking nonsense. I looked at Lu Xiaoxiao very puzzled.The girl continued to walk behind me with a blank expression, without turning a sideways glance at the students around her, as if those people were just rotten wood and worthless. It seems that this girl's life experience is not simple.She has a pretty face and a cute head. Those who have goals or thoughts about her will not shy away from her, unless her parents have used some means to warn some people forcefully, so that the whole school knows not to provoke her. After thinking about it for a long time, I put this matter behind me. After all, it has nothing to do with me.I called the old man and asked him to help me investigate a few things that I cared about, and then I was free.Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I simply went to class with Lu Xiaoxiao. Pigeon City University has three large teaching buildings, which are distributed around the library. If you look at it from the sky, you will see an irregular circle.Lu Xiaoxiao's big class is in Room 102, Building 3.The girl didn't ask me why I came, but walked slowly to the classroom and found a seat in the back row to sit down. The teaching buildings of the university are basically of this kind. There are very empty lecture halls, long tables and benches arranged in a radial pattern, and there is nothing to describe.After being bored for a while, the professor came in. I took a peek at the end of the class, and it turned out to be "On the Big Bang", Lu Xiaoxiao, what did she come to study in college?In other words, Pigeon City University is a liberal arts university, how did it come up with a research topic in science?However, this way is indeed in line with Lu Xiaoxiao's personality, and of course aliens should care about the formation of the universe. The girl looked at the blackboard without blinking, seeming very attentive.But it didn't take me long to discover a shocking fact, Lu Xiaoxiao's nose twitched from time to time, and there was even a trace of crystal liquid hanging from the corner of her mouth for a long time.Damn, actually fell asleep!Is this guy really an alien?Her behavior is too friendly!The professor was spitting all over the podium, and most of the students below were sleeping soundly.To be honest, the language level of this teacher is a bit below the level. If he does not go to a language barrier school for training, he is simply not suitable to be released back to society. I seriously suspect that he obtained his professorship through nepotism. Suddenly, I felt someone tap my shoulder lightly, and I immediately turned my head to look.I saw a sweet-looking, quiet girl who seemed to be a good wife and mother at first glance, looking at me with a smile.She has long hair with shawls, bangs that are neither long nor short, pool-like eyes, and a slightly oval-shaped face, which is as pleasing to the eye as sweet water. "A transfer student?" The girl blinked her eyes and smiled sweetly, "I've never seen you before." "Hey, it's strange to see me." I smiled formulaically, "I just came to listen today on a whim." The girl showed the original expression and nodded: "The audience is so high-profile, it seems that my dear brother, you are also a person who is unwilling to be lonely." "I don't understand this sentence!" I didn't know how to express my doubts. I didn't say a word in class. What was the high profile?The girl pointed to Lu Xiaoxiao next to me, pouted slightly, "Beside this child, it is destined to be everyone's focus." "Oh, she's special?" I squinted my eyes. "That's right." The girl shrugged, "She's very mysterious." "Aliens must be mysterious. Have you ever seen someone who said that he wanted to go back to his home planet?" I laughed. "Well, I mean, her house is very mysterious." The girl ignored my radio waves, "No one knows what she does at home. Some time ago, a few rich and official second generations tried to trick her, but the next day she was beaten to pieces and left in front of the hospital. The parents of those people didn’t dare to say a single word. Since then, the students of Pigeon City University have kept her at a respectful distance.” "Some people even speculate that her parents are wanted by the military or some underworld boss!" I scratched my head, "Why are you telling me this?" "It's nothing, I just want to remind you not to get her ideas. Cherish life and stay away from beautiful women." The girl's smile remained the same, but her eyes were a little strange. "You are also a beauty, should I stay away from you and keep quiet?" I smiled, this girl is a bit weird, and her behavior has gone beyond the category of meddling. "As for me, this person is very close to the people. If you get close to me, you won't lose even a single hair." The girl laughed happily. "oh, I see." Having said that, I have nothing to say. I am about to end the conversation and turn around to sort out the messy thoughts of the last day or two. "By the way, my name is Xie Qianwen." Seeing that I didn't intend to talk too much, she took the initiative to extend her fair hand. "My name is Ye Silent." Reluctantly stretched out her hand and shook it with her. The girl's hand was very soft and moist enough to be a little slippery. "Ye Yuxin's relative?" She asked suspiciously. "Yup." Xie Qianwen's smile immediately became even more strange, "I see, no wonder you have nothing to worry about." It was another incomprehensible sentence, and I frowned.The girl in front of her can't justify saying that she has nothing to do with Lu Xiaoxiao. Could it be that her family sent her as an undercover agent to protect her?It is possible that no one will throw this radio girl who has no ability to take care of herself to the university without any scruples. There is really no way to continue the conversation. Although chatting with beautiful women is pleasing to the eye, but this Xie Qianwen always makes me feel uncomfortable, so it is better not to get involved. Lu Xiaoxiao next to her has already woken up, she looked at me, then at Xie Qianwen behind her, a hint of alertness flashed in her eyes: "This mother body has a nasty aura." She said these words without any scruples, making the smile on Xie Qianwen's face slightly awkward. I smiled and tapped her forehead lightly, "It's impolite, don't judge others in front of others." "Earthlings are really hard to understand." Lu Xiaoxiao shrank her neck, touched her forehead in a daze. At this moment, there was a panicked scream from outside the window. My seat was not far from the window, and I looked over subconsciously. I saw a group of people gathered in a corner of the playground, in a petrified state; the girls screamed and ran in all directions, as if fleeing for their lives. "problem occurs?" I blinked, because the distance was too far, I really couldn't see what happened. The professor was also taken aback by the exclamation from the outside world. He didn't know whether to continue the class.Coincidentally, the bell for the end of get out of class rang and was awakened by the screams. Most of the curious students ignored the teacher and ran towards the source of the screams. I also ran among the crowd, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know why and followed behind me, even Xie Qianwen followed.When I arrived at that place, I only took a look, and I took a deep breath; Xie Qianwen, who was completely unprepared, even seemed to collapse, quickly supported my shoulders, covered her mouth with one hand and almost spit it out. The ground not far away was covered with blood, viscera and broken bones were everywhere, and the remains on the ground showed a mixture of liquid and impurities after being freshly squeezed in the juicer.The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which lingered in the breeze for a long time. Amidst the chatter of people around me, I finally understood a little bit.A boy died here a few minutes ago, and his mutilated body lay on the ground.
