Inside the media station.

Upon hearing Chen Shanshan's words, Zhang Xiaojie was momentarily stunned and blurted out without thinking:

"Xiaochen, are you crazy?"

Chen Shanshan shook her head. She still appeared soft and adorable, but her tone was firm:

"Director Zhang, aside from sending someone in to stream live, do we have any other options right now?

The media vehicles can't get in, the drones can't come down, and aerial footage and ground shots are on two completely different levels.

If that's the case, we can't just sit here and wait, can we?"

Zhang Xiaojie opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute her.

Just as Chen Shanshan said.

If a drone descends to a certain height, the swarming cockroaches would affect the drone just like they do with stationary cameras, causing the screen to be completely obscured by them.

But if they maintain a certain altitude and do aerial shooting, the quality of footage looking down and ground-level footage is obviously different, and it's easy to get aesthetically fatigued from bird's-eye views.

This is something you can clearly feel from the annual popular African wildebeest migrations.

Of course.

With the current level of technology, it's not really difficult to keep cockroaches from staying on the camera lens.

But the problem is... Zhang Xiaojie and his team didn't bring such equipment this time—who would have expected Ke Da to create such a situation?

After all, not everyone is like Li Changshou, considering the possibility of an alien invasion whenever traveling.

Thus, as things stand now, sending someone into the extermination center seems to indeed be the only way.....

Seeing Zhang Xiaojie somewhat persuaded, Chen Shanshan tightened her little fist a bit more:

"Director Zhang, I just spoke with the staff at Ke Da, and they can provide a modified polyethylene airtight protective suit which can completely isolate the harmful impurities in the cockroach heap.

So the risk of going in to stream live is mainly psychological. You don't need to worry about that, I can look at pictures of Zhang Han's eyes for ten minutes!

Moreover....."

Zhang Xiaojie glanced at this girl and asked:

"Moreover what?"

"Moreover, if we can provide such a perspective for live streaming, it will definitely attract a massive audience!"

Chen Shanshan's last sentence was like a flash of lightning in the dark, which not only shook Zhang Xiaojie's mind but also brightened his eyes:

Indeed, if only Sichuan Province Observation can provide an inside view, wouldn't we still retain the audience?

Even if other media colleagues catch up later, Sichuan Province Observation can still take a large share during this time gap!

With this in mind, he no longer hesitated and decisively told Chen Shanshan:

"Xiaochen, then sorry for the trouble!"

And as Chen Shanshan prepared the protective suit and the live stream, the cockroach army on the Spring Garden Path was advancing rapidly.

The instantaneous movement speed of cockroaches is very fast, averaging 0.6 meters per second, with a peak that can even exceed 1.5 meters per second.

That's why when you throw a book at a cockroach, it's quickly out of sight, and when you open the book, you don't even see a leg hair.

However, when cockroaches start marching in formation, this speed becomes relatively slower.

The sustained marching speed is about four to five kilometers per hour, maybe not even ten kilometers.

At this time, Cai Cai Zi was located at the center of the cockroach army, slowly leading them forward.

In most cases, cockroach mutations occur in drug resistance, meaning insecticides cannot kill them after a while.

Sometimes they even swagger in front of you, while playfully drinking the insecticide like water.

Apart from drug resistance, mutations in cockroach morphology are extremely rare, almost one in a million.

The most representative mutant cockroach found locally so far is a little cutie known as X378, displayed in the Guangdong Province Insect Museum.

It is 7.8 centimeters long, with a jade-like white body.

Compared to X378, although only a small part of Cai Cai Zi's body has turned white, its size is much larger than X378.

Not only has it reached 8.5 centimeters in length, but its width is also 1.5 times that of X378.

The front antennae are long and hard and have even developed a second pair of wings.

However, unlike ant-like queens, the pheromones of such 'pseudo-queen' mutant individuals are not broad-spectrum.

Even among cockroaches, it can only command about a quarter of the group.

About four years ago, Cai Cai Zi evolved into a pseudo-queen, and by coincidence found the largest sewage node in the East District of Ke Da, where it established a kingdom deep underground.

The lifespan of cockroaches is generally 2-3 years, some even only live two hundred days.

But perhaps due to bodily mutations, the now four-year-old Cai Cai Zi shows no signs of declining.

In its limited intelligence, it even fantasizes about one day ruling the world, expanding its territory across the entire Ke Da campus.

Of course.

More than those vague fantasies, Cai Cai Zi is more interested in the increasingly thick aroma ahead at the moment.

Its little brain doesn't have the concept of hormones, but as it smells, it feels its abdomen gradually swelling a bit...

In the entire cockroach army, countless cockroaches share Cai Cai Zi's feeling. If one could see the bottom through the 'cockroach river,' they would find several sticky puddles of lymph fluid left on the ground...

Just like that.

Seven minutes later.

The cockroach army had formed a black river at least fifty meters long, with an estimated count...

One million two hundred thousand!

Seeing this massive scene, even Xu Yun and Tian Liangwei felt a bit of tingling on their scalps.

At the same time, a topic was quietly rising from the bottom of the trending list:

#How many cockroaches are in your school#

If people were just spectating before, as the situation evolved, almost everyone started thinking about their surroundings.

Smaller local secondary schools and vocational schools are easy to discuss.

But some universities, similar to Ke Da in size or larger with more population, left some students shivering:

If Ke Da's East Campus alone has a million cockroaches, wouldn't similar-sized universities have a million or more cockroaches too?!

Especially now, with so many viewers, there are always a few unfortunates who see a little cutie slide by in their dorm while watching the stream...

Empathizing, this kind of psychological impact isn't something just anyone can handle.....

But Cai Cai Zi doesn't know the impact it and its offspring have caused online. As they got closer to where the bait was deployed, the entire cockroach community's wild nature had been fully aroused.

Five hundred meters....

Three hundred meters....

One hundred meters....

As they closed in, something seemed to appear in the visual organs of Cai Cai Zi, which consisted of two compound eyes and two simple eyes – an extremely large silhouette.

Cockroaches can see color, depth, and three-dimensional images in the dark, but their vision is worse in bright light, relying on simple eyes to assist in judgment.

But since Cai Cai Zi is a mutant individual, it can see some colors, even in broad daylight:

It was a giant, white all over, holding a black object. Feedback from the thermal imaging system suggested it was a typical bipedal creature.

In ordinary life, cockroaches would discreetly avoid bipeds, rarely provoking them.

If anything, sometimes they might lay a few eggs in their ears while they sleep.

However, under the influence of pheromones, only two voices echoed in the minds of the cockroaches:

Eat, mate!

Even for Cai Cai Zi, the pseudo-queen, it existed only with primitive instincts, without a hint of fear.

Thus, after a slight hesitation, it led the cockroach army.....

and crawled up Chen Shanshan's body.

True Cockroach Lady.

There's more to come, tonight we'll strive to eliminate the cockroaches!
