Cave Refuge-Chapter 266 - 262: Reminder_1

If it were not temporarily confirmed that these bugs would not actively attack martial artists, the four of them would never stay here and patrol.

Dong Tianyu did not know what was arranged by the patrol office, and after returning to Robinson William’s office, his face also turned a little unsightly.

Although they tested and found that the bugs would actively avoid martial artists, their parents were commoners, and those bugs posed a great threat to ordinary people because of their ability to burrow into the ground.

Moreover, as the leader who left said, if they have to live in the underground refuge center in the future, at that time, the threat of the bugs to the survivors will become even greater.

Now the bugs are afraid of martial artists and dare not approach, but if they live underground in the future, and the bugs are no longer fearful of martial artists, Pengcheng will suffer a catastrophe.

"Zachary, tell me in detail about your last experience."

Dong Tianyu knew what Robinson William wanted to ask, so he straightforwardly revealed: "Don’t look at how terrifying those bugs were when they were gnawing on the fish bait just now, but other than their horrifying numbers, those bugs are not much different than ordinary ones.

Even for ordinary people, it is very easy to kill those bugs, let alone that those bugs are actually afraid of fire and can be burned to death just like ordinary insects in the natural world before the disaster.

Forget it, let me tell you the truth, I threw two flaming grenades into the bug nest, and then burned all the bugs in the nest. I just didn’t expect that the bugs I captured in advance and put in the bottle turned into a pile of transparent liquid for some reason after I set fire to the bug nest."

Originally, when Robinson William heard Dong Tianyu say that he had used incendiary bombs, he wanted to ask Dong Tianyu where he had got them, and how many he had left.

But this question just flashed through his mind and he didn’t even ask it.

However, Dong Tianyu did mention a bug’s weakness. Now, since these bugs are afraid of fire, it becomes very simple to deal with them.

Robinson William obtained a sewer planning map of the villa area. Luckily, the original villa area was a high-end community with greenery all around and no other communities nearby, so the underground pipeline network was independently constructed.

To truly exterminate those bugs, all that is needed is to seal the connections in the underground pipeline network, then pour fuel in, and throw a small flame in. The last step would be to prevent the bugs from escaping above ground.

The plan is very simple and not difficult to implement, but the only problem is that implementing this plan requires a large amount of fuel.

Since the fuel needs to be poured into the underground pipeline network, solid fuels cannot be used, only liquid fuels can.

But now the most commonly used and most abundant hot liquid fuels are only diesel and alcohol.

As for diesel, whether it’s diesel or gasoline, they both are indispensable for road transportation at this time.

And alcohol is even more impossible. At this time, let alone pure grain alcohol, even industrial alcohol, there are people who can’t help diluting it to drink.

So using these two things to exterminate the bug nest is not very possible, and the price to pay is just too great.

But Robinson William thought again, he could at most provide an extermination plan, when it comes time to make the final decision, he doesn’t even have the qualifications to participate in the meeting, so why worry about so many annoying things, he just needs to follow whatever instructions are given.

Having thought this, Robinson William no longer wants to care about the issue of the bug nest.

However, even if they don’t want to care about how to exterminate the bug nest, thinking about the safety of their parents, they still can’t avoid talking about the bug nest.

Seeing Robinson William’s worried expression, Dong Tianyu probably guessed what Robinson William was thinking, and reassured: "We can now be sure that there are definitely more than just two places in Pengcheng where we have found bug nests, there should still be bug nests in the other areas of Pengcheng, and the number of those bug nests should not be small.

But looking at the Patrol Office, they can only receive one or two reports of missing survivors a day, which means that the bug nests’ activities in the city are not too rampant.

The specific reason is that we all understand now, it’s that the bugs are still scared of martial artists at this time.

Now the number of martial artists in Pengcheng is increasing, so unknowingly, it has narrowed the range of those bugs’ activity.

Even sometimes when the bugs are preparing to attack ordinary people, because of the unintentional approach of martial artists, the bugs give up their attack plan.

It’s because of this that the survivors in the city haven’t all disappeared like the survivors living in that community.

Our parents now live on the upper floors of the office building, and the bug nests are basically underground, plus the five floors at the bottom of the office building are now the command post of the West City District, and you are well aware of the situation inside.

Although most of the staff are ordinary people, the guards on duty are basically martial artists.

"So rest assured, as long as the old man and his crew aren’t wandering aimlessly, they’ll be safe."

Hearing Dong Tianyu speak like this, Robinson William started to understand as well, and his tense spirit significantly relaxed.

"I’m going to assign some families of the special forces teams to the office building, and then arrange for extra teams of martial artists to patrol around. Hopefully, the Bugs Clan won’t notice or target the office building."

Hearing Robinson William’s arrangement, Dong Tianyu didn’t say much else. After all, his own parents lived in the office building, so the more martial artists to ensure its security, the better.

"How are things on Ye Liuyun’s side?"

Upon hearing Dong Tianyu ask about his little brother, Robinson William knew that Dong Tianyu was trying to steer the conversation.

Fortunately, he was no longer in the mood to address the problem with the bugs, so he simply went along and shared what he knew.

"He’s gone to Yutai to pick up a vehicle. Given the timing, he should be back in a couple of days."

Dong Tianyu considered the issue of the bugs. Still, considering that Ye Liuyun has been martial arts training with loads of resources and one-on-one teaching, it would be relatively easy for him to become a martial artist even if he hadn’t reached the Inner Breath Realm.

Furthermore, he was sure he wouldn’t be the only one journeying there this time. Robinson William would undeniably send some of their best men along, so there’s little to worry about in terms of safety.

The only potential problem might be the vehicles. Due to the damage caused by electromagnetic pulse attacks, if the vehicles weren’t professionally checked and repaired, even if they could be driven, various minor problems would inevitably pop up over time.

Before the cataclysmic events, one could just abandon the vehicle and call for roadside assistance if any issues arose. No one knows what issues could come up during these dangerous times if the vehicle were to break down in the middle of the road.

After chatting a while, Dong Tianyu got ready to leave. All that needed to be said was said, and all matters needing his involvement were addressed. There was no point in sticking around here, why not return to the cave and engage in a game of interrogation with the search officer!

Although Robinson William was back now, there were still many things to take care of. Aware of their tight bond, when Dong Tianyu said he was leaving, Robinson didn’t show any false courtesy by clinging to his departure.

After leaving Robinson William’s office, Dong Tianyu went upstairs to look for Mr. and Mrs. Thompson.

Once Mr. Thompson heard Dong Tianyu advise them to stay upstairs for the time being, he instantly understood that some danger must have emerged outside, and the officials likely didn’t have a good solution. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked them, two elderly people, not to go downstairs.

After acknowledging their son’s caution, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson immediately agreed. It was pitch black outside, and although the lights around People’s Square occasionally come on, they only switched on every few lamps to conserve energy.

Making it still somewhat dark for them.

Besides, almost all the friends that Mr. and Mrs. Thompson made recently lived in the office building, so there was no need for them to go downstairs when they wanted to socialize.

The office building is now divided into three sections. The lower floors are the office areas of the West City District Command Post.

Currently, many of the middle floors are unoccupied. After all, apart from the exterior darkness, no other threats have emerged. Therefore, most people preferred to stay in their homes.

The top floors are occupied by seniors and their families, along with some stubborn followers.

Looking at the current situation, there are still many vacant floors in the office building, so it’s not like their activities are limited. Whether they go downstairs or not doesn’t really affect them much.

Especially considering that Dong Tianyu personally taught his parents the health preservation formula practice. Aside from socializing with others, the two spent their spare time practicing the formula.

Given their age, they wholeheartedly believe in it. The simpler the name, the more they identify with it.

Although Dong Tianyu didn’t specify what danger was coming before he left, judging from his repeated warnings when leaving, they knew it was risky. Therefore, they decided to stay put within the office building unless there’s an emergency. They would definitely not leave.

After he left the office building, Dong Tianyu returned to Nameless Mountain. Although the cave halfway up the mountain upgraded to a mansion in the chaos, after everything, Dong Tianyu habitually returned here.

Figure he might as well check if there are nests from the Bugs Clan in the Nameless Mountain during this free time.

After some checking, there were no bug nests on the north side where he resided. However, on the other directions of the mountain, several bug nests were detected, more or less.

Dong Tianyu also found it puzzling how these bugs appeared and why they suddenly emerged in such large numbers in Pengcheng.

If anyone were to suggest that they survived from the repeated celestial disasters, Dong Tianyu wouldn’t believe it. If that was the case, the Bugs would’ve wrecked havoc on a large scale during the time when the martial artists were scarce. So, their presence would have been known by the survivors long ago.
