Parents are busy farming

Chapter 1802: Locust Plague

The locusts flew towards the crops without hesitation.

Every crop is struggling, but faced with the huge swarm of locusts, they seem so small and fragile.

Seeing that a year's hard work was about to be destroyed, people could no longer sit still.

In order to protect the land on which they depend for survival and the precious food resources, everyone stepped forward and took quick action.

In the farmland that was most severely affected by the disaster, the villagers who usually worked separately put aside their past grudges and no longer fought alone. Instead, they united closely and formed an indestructible fighting group.

They worked together to lift up the carefully woven large nets, and then swung them vigorously. The huge nets were like a curtain falling from the sky, covering their heads accurately from the air.

With a dull sound, each net was filled with black locusts huddled together and struggling desperately.

Looking at the densely packed locusts in the nets, even the bravest people would feel their scalp tingling.

However, the villagers did not back down at all. They gritted their teeth and repeated the same actions again and again, vowing to fight the raging locust plague to the end...

In addition, in the vast fields where there was no network signal coverage, men, women, young and old stepped forward, holding a variety of simple tools, and resolutely threw themselves into this thrilling close combat with locusts.

Some people held the brooms tightly in their hands and waved them with all their strength. The brooms drew sharp arcs in the air, as if they had turned into a sharp sword, trying to sweep the locusts flying in the sky to the ground.

Others held the winnowing basket tightly and beat the trees desperately, over and over again, with swift and powerful movements. Even though they were exhausted and out of breath, they still refused to stop for a moment.

Their clothes were already soaked with crystal sweat, but their eyes were always shining with an incomparable determination.

Even the young children did not show any weakness. The small figures moved nimbly back and forth in the fields. They held the simple tools tightly in their tender hands and tried their best to contribute their own meager strength to fight the locust plague.

At this moment, the whole field was shrouded in noise, with shouts and crackling sounds resounding through the sky, interweaving into a passionate and heroic war song.

When Zhang Gaoyi and a group of soldiers hurriedly arrived, they were shocked by the scene they saw - Ye Zifen and others had already started a thrilling life-and-death battle with the locusts that were flying all over the sky and covering the ground.

Ye Zifen led the charge, holding the shining long sword tightly in both hands, and swinging it with all her strength.

Every time he swung the sword, there was a sharp sound of wind, as if he wanted to chop down all the enemies in front of him.

Sweat dripped from his forehead like rain, soaking his thin clothes, but he was unaware of it and was fully focused on fighting those ferocious locusts.

His companions beside him were not to be outdone. They all had solemn expressions and stared at the locusts that were rampant.

The weapons in their hands were either long or short, heavy or light, flashing a cold light under the sunlight.

They cooperated well, attacked and defended in an orderly manner, and fought a desperate battle with the swarming locusts.

At the same time, after witnessing this horrifying scene, Zhang Gaoyi did not hesitate to reorganize the troops he brought with him.

His face was solemn, his eyes revealed an incomparable firmness and determination, and he shouted loudly: "All soldiers, listen up! Quickly form a team and move forward with me!"

As his command sounded, the soldiers acted quickly and well-trainedly.

They formed neat lines as quickly as possible, marched with strong steps, and advanced towards the direction where Ye Zifen was.

However, to everyone's surprise, those seemingly tiny locusts moved so fast.

The team led by Zhang Gaoyi moved forward all the way and witnessed with their own eyes the amazing destructive power of these little insects.

Wherever they passed, the originally lush and vibrant grassland turned into a wasteland in the blink of an eye. All the green vegetation disappeared, leaving only bare land, as miserable as if it had been burned by a raging fire.

Even the tall and straight trees were not spared. Their lush branches and leaves were ruthlessly eaten away by locusts, leaving only dry branches standing there abruptly.

As for the grass on the grassland, it suffered a devastating disaster. Looking around, it was devastated and heartbreaking.

This is simply a barren land, with no grass growing! Zhang Gaoyi looked at the land ravaged by locusts, his face becoming more and more solemn.

He knew very well that this battle against the locust plague would be extremely difficult, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.

Zhang Gaoyi gave orders without hesitation, asking the soldiers behind him to come forward quickly to help.

"Brothers, charge forward! We must work together to help the villagers eliminate these hateful pests!"

As Zhang Gaoyi roared, the soldiers rushed forward with great momentum like a surging tide.

Soon, they arrived where Ye Zifen and others were and fought side by side with them.

At this time, Ye Zifen was waving the sharp long knife in her hand. Every time she swung it hard, more than a dozen locusts would die instantly and fall to the ground.

The originally bare land was now piled up with dense, stacked locust corpses.

Zhang Gaoyi walked quickly to Ye Zifen's side, his eyes fixed on her agile figure and skillful movements.

At this moment, Ye Zifen caught a glimpse of Zhang Gaoyi's arrival from the corner of her eye. She continued to kill locusts without stopping, and smiled and greeted Zhang Gaoyi, "You are here."

However, Zhang Gaoyi did not respond to Ye Zifen's greeting because he suddenly noticed that some locusts had begun to land on the leaves of the crops to eat them.

He was suddenly filled with worry and asked anxiously, "Is this method really feasible? I see quite a few insects crawling onto the leaves of the crops!"

Ye Zifen tightly grasped the long sword in her hand, her arm muscles tensed, and every swing was fierce and powerful. At the same time, she shouted in response: "Don't think too much for now, let's kill as many as we can! This situation is most suitable for training."
