In the face of Jiang Ning’s words, Huo Yishen felt ashamed. “No.”

He didn’t like sweets; he drank coffee instead. “Actually, I feel a bit bad. I couldn’t help you.”

He was talking about space planting; all of those were laborious tasks. But because she needed to save time, he couldn’t help but let her handle it alone.

He wasn’t clear on the specifics of the operation, but he knew it wasn’t easy work.

So, he took care of the household chores, almost never letting her lift a finger.

The work he did was visible to everyone, but she was working just as hard, though no one could see it. “Anning, if you need anything, remember to come to me.'”

“Mm.”

Someone who could see your exhaustion, who would care at any time, yet would also be mindful of boundaries, this feeling was quite nice.

At least after several months of getting along, Jiang Ning didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore; she didn’t feel as cold as before.

Returning to 1802, she drew the thick curtains and turned on the lights to read.

Feeling a sudden craving, she took out some spicy strips and ate them while flipping through the medical books.

As the evening arrived, the temperature dropped to below 45 degrees; the eternal 25 degrees arrived as scheduled. Life was simply too comfortable.

Just as she was about to eat the spicy strips, Jiang Ning suddenly widened her eyes.

A big cockroach!

It was about the size of a thumb and still looked underdeveloped. She saw it crawling slowly on the floor.

Strange, she had blocked all the drains, fixed the balcony seams with wire mesh, so where did it come from?

Jiang Ning instinctively picked up a slipper and was about to smash it, but then Da Hui suddenly rushed out, crunch!

Yes, it ate the big cockroach.

Uh, big cockroaches carry a lot of germs. Did Da Hui have a conflict with his wife and wanted to commit suicide out of hesitation, or was it because his ignorance that made him fearless?

There was no time to stop it; the pest was chewed up and swallowed by the sharp rabbit teeth.

At the same time, Da Hui looked around, seemingly looking for food, and jumped to the kitchen.

Jiang Ning shone a flashlight over, and indeed it was crunching again.

This time it was a large adult cockroach, two times bigger.

Realizing the danger, it spread its wings and flew up, only to be pounced on by Da Hui in one swift move.

Thinking of how they crawled densely on the ground in her past life, flying arrogantly here and there. She couldn’t help but feel shivers down her spine.

The extreme heat had just begun, and the cockroaches was already starting to mutate.

Thinking about what they ate to grow, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel nauseous.

It touches everything and is full of bacteria

Not only did Da Hui search, but his wife, Xiao Bai, with her violent temper, also came over to join the fun. The couple ran around the house, catching five or six big cockroaches and stuffing them between their teeth, as if they not have had enough.

Jiang Ning was worried that they would be poisoned to death. The first thing she did when she woke up in the morning was to check on them.

Who knew, not only were they not sick but they were full of energy. They even took their offspring everywhere to scavenge for food.

Huo Yishen called her over for breakfast on time, but Doudou screamed in fear in the background, “Ah, cockroach, brother there’s a cockroach!”

Hearing Doudou’s scream, the dog jumped up and used its paws to open the door and ran over.

Jiang Ning followed out, only to hear a “squish” sound under her foot.

Lifting her slipper, a dead cockroach lay there.

Jiang Ning, “…”

Looking up the corridor and the steps, she could see at least seven or eight cockroaches.

This was the 18th floor. How about those residents on the lower floors… suddenly she felt her hair standing on end.

1801 also had cockroaches. Did they come in when they were young, or did the house originally have insect eggs?

There was no way to know.

Huo Yishen loved to tidy up; the house was clean and tidy, so there weren’t many cockroaches.

When Jiang Ning came out, she forgot to close the door behind her. The rabbits followed her out, rushing into 1801 and was crunching along with her.

Now, even Huo Yishen was surprised.

Not only did they eat, but they also hopped around the corridor and stairs.

Jiang Ning couldn’t be bothered with them. She put cockroach poison on both sides, but it seemed ineffective against them.

Of course, for these mutated giant cockroaches, the toxins in the poison didn’t pose any threat to them at all.

“Ugh, it stinks.”

Doudou held the dishes she washed from last night, and there was a big cockroach dropping in it. She almost vomited when she leaned in to smell it.

Cockroaches liked dark corners, and they were more active at night. Their destructive power was astonishing. They can bite clothes and damage their food.

Huo Yishen thoroughly cleaned the room, neatly folding away their winter clothes, and let Jiang Ning put away the food and other supplies in the space.

Don’t mention it, the big cockroaches really knew how to hide.

Just as she put the things into her space, a few big cockroaches were instantly kicked out by the space.

Who would have thought that the space had such a wonderful use?

Jiang Ning acted fast, swinging several slippers in a row, completely sending them to hell.

Don’t doubt the combat power of southern slippers; it’s the artifact for fighting cockroaches. This skill has been practiced since childhood; it’s called fast, fierce, and accurate. Its power is on par with the Palm of Buddha!

The room was thoroughly disinfected inside and out, then some daily necessities were taken out.

After cleaning up 1801, Huo Yishen rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up 1802.

She didn’t know how to tidy up as well as Huo Yishen did. Besides, there were dogs and rabbits in the house. Even if she cleaned every day, for people who were extremely clean and sensitive to smell, there would still be some odor.

Jiang Ning felt guilty, “Or should I do it myself?”

“It’s okay, it’s a special situation now; it can’t be compared to before the disaster.”

Huo Yishen wouldn’t impose his principles on others. Besides, after smelling the odor coming from downstairs for so long, there was nothing he wasn’t used to.

Not only him, even Doudou came over to help.

After closing the door, they did a thorough cleaning.

Just as they finished, there was a commotion next door: “Help, where did all these cockroaches come from?”

“They crawled up along the drains.”

The two went over to help, but they almost thought they went to the wrong floor and entered the wrong apartment.

They actually saw a bald head, no, two…

Uh, three!

Zhang Chao and Lu Yu, with their bald heads, and Zheng Weili…

She wasn’t totally bald; her long black hair was shaved into extremely short hair, probably only two or three millimeters longer than her scalp.

1803 didn’t have a balcony enclosure, so it was sealed with steel plates after the typhoon.

Considering that it’s hot and stuffy now, and the poor lighting makes it seem dark and gloomy, they had to remove them for ventilation.

In fact, they had discovered cockroaches two days ago, but thinking about cooking, who didn’t have a few cockroaches in their house?

As a result, overnight, they were everywhere.

Living this long, they had never seen so many cockroaches, and they were so huge.

Forget about the goosebumps; the key was that they were particularly aggressive, flapping their wings in the air

Lu Yu’s face was slapped several times by them and he also felt like he was bitten.

The visual impact was too strong. Jiang Ning didn’t have the courage to join the battle. She resolutely sent the rabbit army to attack, “Raise rabbits for a thousand days and use rabbits for a moment, go!”

Uh, before she could finish her sentence, the rabbits had already rushed in, not giving her any face at all.

After a lot of effort, they finally almost exterminated the big cockroaches.

Lu Yu, sweating all over from fighting cockroaches, sat on the sofa panting. Jiang Ning noticed that his face was a bit swollen, and asked cautiously, “Did you get bitten?”
