Volume 2 Animal Mutant Chapter 108 The Locust King has finally appeared!
The next day, just after dawn, all the researchers got up to work. Although Sand Falls City is a desert area, the fog in the early morning is still quite humid, and everyone feels an unusually fresh feeling. However, this kind of rare comfort in the early morning, Young Master Tang can't enjoy it, and Young Master Tang, who has always been pampered, is still lying in bed in his tent.
As a new day dawned, the locusts that had been dormant last night began to fly again. Together with the locust removal machine that had just been delivered, a total of 23 machines were all buzzing into operation. As the essence evaporated, the swarm of locusts, which was as dense as a torrential rain, began to converge into the camp again. Now with 23 locust machines in operation, the camp is much less stressed by the locust swarm than yesterday, but all the researchers who are operating the locust extermination machines are still covered with locusts.
Since there are 23 barrels of flavor in the camp at the same time, 13 barrels more than yesterday, and the volatilized flavor spreads much farther than yesterday, as time continues to prolong, the density of locusts in the camp has begun to increase inversely.
Seeing that more and more locusts continued to appear, Ye Feiqiu could only sigh: "This method of eliminating locusts is really a breathtaking feeling!"
Although Ye Feiqiu quite admired the locust removal machine designed by Cangchi, because there were too many locusts in the camp, she actually felt a little powerless again. Ye Feiqiu's only feeling now is that he only hates that the production efficiency of the machine processing plant is too slow!
Because the number of locusts within a certain range is limited, even if the locusts are still migratory, once the time passes, the density of locusts in the camp will slowly decrease.
Faced with this kind of behavior of waiting for the rabbit, Ye Feiqiu felt that it was just a waste of time to wait like this, so she made a bold decision to directly pull out the camp, and then follow the large army of locusts through the instrument. After all, the suburbs of Sand Falls City are extremely vast, and after a day and a night of migration, many locusts have already flown to other parts of Sand Falls City.
Since it was the season of locust infestation, there were no people at all in the suburbs of Sand Falls City, except for Ye Feiqiu's research team. So the cordon they had set up before was almost non-existent. After making up his mind, Ye Feiqiu ordered the tractor of the locust extermination machine to start moving to the place where the locusts were concentrated, and as for the follow-up large troops, they were waiting to move with the camp with the locust extermination convoy.
With the departure of the locust removal convoy, which locusts that had already smelled the essence naturally followed the smell of the essence and flew to the direction of the locust removal convoy, and which locusts that began to smell the essence because of the transfer of the convoy also began to move to the convoy. All of a sudden, billions of locusts began to rapidly approach the locust eradication convoy. The density of locusts in the air, which had just fallen, began to slowly increase again. As the convoy migrated, locust carcasses along the way recorded the convoy's transfer route.
Ten kilometers after being transferred, the locust removal convoy stopped advancing under Ye Feiqiu's instructions, and the excavator convoy that followed immediately began to dig a pit on the spot. Fortunately, the geology of Shapu City is sandy, and the speed of digging the pit by the excavator is extremely fast, and the locust carcasses that have been produced in a steady stream have been duly buried.
Just as the locust extermination convoy was methodically exterminating the locusts, the originally chaotic locust swarm in the sky suddenly moved, and many locusts that should have rushed directly to the locust extermination machine suddenly left their original flight trajectory and began to hover above the locust extermination machine. Although there are still a lot of locusts rushing to the locust extermination machine at the scene, with the continuous increase of the locust base, the number of locusts in the sky is also increasing.
When the swarm of locusts reached a certain number and became conspicuous enough, they were finally discovered by the busy researchers on the scene. In the face of this abnormal locust swarm, some researchers at the scene immediately realized that it was possible that the locust king had arrived!
"Director Ye, there is an unusual swarm of locusts above us, and they are not attracted by the fragrance at all. We suspect that these locusts may have been ordered by the locust king to wander away from the normal locust swarm. The researcher in charge of liaison anxiously reported on the anomalies he had discovered.
The reason why this researcher is so anxious is because he wants to form such a huge wave of abnormal locusts, which means that the locust king has been around for a long time. They have all experienced the rat hunting incident in Dongtian Lake last time, and they know how powerful the mutated animals are. In the absence of a large number of security personnel present, they feared that they would not be able to resist the first wave of the Locust King's attack.
"Okay. Try to hold your ground. We'll be there shortly. Ye Feiqiu calmed the anxious researcher through the contact device.
After Ye Feiqiu ended his contact with the locust extermination team, he directly notified the follow-up convoy to speed up. He also ordered the security team to break away from the baggage convoy and rush to the scene as quickly as possible. The convoy carrying various research equipment was also separated, keeping up with the security team at maximum speed. After all, if you want to find out the specific location of the Locust King, the necessary detection equipment is indispensable.
Half an hour later, the security convoy with a large number of dust trails finally arrived. When they saw the swarm of locusts in the sky, their hearts were heavy. If these locust swarms were to strangle the locust extermination team at all costs under the orders of the Locust King, the researchers, who were wearing only simple protective suits, would probably suffer.
Just as the security personnel got out of the car with all kinds of weapons, the locust swarm in the sky finally reacted differently. I saw these locust swarms quickly sweeping towards the supporting security convoy.
This situation seems to be a coincidence, but it is actually an inevitability. Hidden in the shadows, the Locust King saw which machines the locust swarm under his control had been devoured, and it had never seen such a locust exterminating machine before, and it thought it was a powerful monster. Forced by the instinctive fear of the food chain, the Locust King has been trying to keep his population from being consumed by the locust extermination machine.
After wrestling with the locust extermination machine for a long time, the locust king was already holding back a breath of anger. Suddenly, it saw a new monster coming, and out of the monster came the humanoid creature he knew. Instinctively, it thought that these things were its companions of the locust trapping machine, and immediately vented all the anger it had accumulated on the security team that came to support it.
This army commanded by the Locust King is also some locusts that have already mutated, but their mutation is negligible, far lower than that of the Locust King, and they can only maintain their consciousness under the temptation of essence. But even if they're just a bunch of newly mutated creatures, they're stronger than normal locusts.
Only a suffocating buzzing sound was heard, and a large number of micro-mutated locusts slaughtered the security team led by Young Master Tang. The security captain of the team leader noticed that something was wrong, and immediately escorted Young Master Tang back into the luxury car. The rest of the security personnel were unlucky, as the remaining security guards were directly attacked by the locust swarm due to the large number of locusts in the air obstructing their view. Fortunately, they had protective clothing on them, and they did not suffer much damage except for being swept to the ground by the locust swarm.
The researchers who were operating the locust extermination machine were too frightened to speak out when they saw this. If it weren't for the locust removal machine with a special operation room, they really couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been.
The bodyguards who tasted the swarm of micro-mutated locusts hurriedly got up from the ground and kept slapping the locusts on the important parts of their bodies. Fortunately, this group of security guards are all well-trained, otherwise they would definitely panic after being attacked by micro-mutated locusts.
Seeing that the locusts were strong, the security guards got back into the vehicle. Suddenly, the convoy remembered the clanging crash, and a large number of micro-mutated locusts all rampage into the vehicle. Since their bodies had been partially strengthened, they were not killed by their own impact, but instead had a large number of scratches on the vehicle.
The locusts are so powerful that there is no way to deal with them, and the only thing that can deal with the locust swarm is the flamethrower that the team carries with them. In order to protect the convoy and prevent the convoy's window glass from shattering in the endless attack of the locust swarm, the security captain could only take the lead and jump out of the vehicle after yelling "flamethrower" into the walkie-talkie.
The captain of the bodyguard immediately closed the door the moment he jumped out of the car, and then took out the flamethrower in the trunk and sprayed it at the swarm of locusts that were constantly circling in the sky. Since the security captain's flamethrower is gas, not gasoline, the flame does not have much lethal effect except that it is very large. In addition to the many ordinary locusts that were burned to death, only a small number of micro-mutated locusts in the core of the flame were burned to death.
Seeing that the monsters in the convoy also had a killing move, the locust king hurriedly organized a micro-mutant locust swarm to dodge the fire damage, and organized a locust swarm to besiege the bodyguard captain from all directions. Besieged by such an offensive as a swarm of locusts, it is difficult for the captain of the bodyguard to protect himself thoughtfully, even though he has a flamethrower in hand. In the face of a vast army of locusts, he is really alone.
Just when the security captain felt powerless and slightly desperate, the bodyguards in the other vehicles reacted and jumped out of the vehicles to pick up the flamethrowers in the trunk and join the battlefield. All of a sudden, a large number of flamethrowers formed a defensive line, and most of the besieging locust swarms were burned to death. The remaining locust swarms could only fly back into the air in hatred under the command of the Locust King, hovering above the convoy.
After solving the current crisis, the security team's gas reserves were running low, and looking at the vast number of locusts in the sky, the bodyguard captain knew that the swarm of locusts that was constantly circling in the air would grow stronger and stronger. If this group of abnormal locusts had gathered enough strength to charge again, they would not be able to resist it with the remaining gas reserves in their hands.
Now there are two ways in front of them: one is to retreat immediately with all the vehicles, and the other is to send some people to drive back and buy a large number of gas tanks in Shapu City. In this way, even if there are more locusts in the future, they will be given in vain.
Without any hesitation, the captain of the bodyguard immediately reported these two choices to Young Master Tang. Young Master Tang had just been frightened, how could he be in the mood to think about these things now, and besides, this research team was under the overall jurisdiction of Ye Feiqiu, and Young Master Tang did not dare to retreat without permission, after all, it was extremely dangerous to leave only a few special operations elite guards in the research team. Almost without a brain, Young Master Tang handed over this important decision to Ye Feiqiu.
"Feiqiu, my side is under attack by a swarm of locusts, and the flamethrower is running out of gas. It's up to you to retreat first, or go to the city and buy some gas canisters and come back. Also, our convoy has already endured a wave of locust swarms, and the window glass is about to be overwhelmed. Young Master Tang was babbling on the phone, full of horror.
"Our follow-up convoy will be here soon, how long can you carry it? If it really doesn't work, let's suspend the entrapment plan first. If you can resist, then send someone to the city to buy gas canisters and rent more bulletproof vehicles. Ye Feiqiu threw this question back again.
The reason why Ye Feiqiu was so hesitant was mainly because he didn't want to give up such a good opportunity. finally encountered the locust king, and retreated like this, which was simply a thing that outweighed the loss. Besides, their main combat force, Cangchi, has not yet played its due role, and it is a bit too early to talk about defeat.
After saying this, Ye Feiqiu unconsciously glanced at Cang Chi, who was sitting next to him. After seeing Cangchi's calm face, her anxious mood unconsciously settled down.
Faced with Ye Feiqiu's choice problem, Young Master Tang, who was completely confused about the current situation, could only hand over the walkie-talkie to the bodyguard captain beside him.
"Judging by the movement of the locust swarm, it will probably be some time. We still have a certain amount of gas reserves in our hands, and we should be able to hold out until the arrival of the purchase of the fleet. "The captain of the bodyguard is not the kind of person who gives up easily, and besides, they still have a lot of shotguns and net guns that they haven't used yet, so there should be no problem if they want to stop another wave of locust swarms.
Moreover, there are also some special combat personnel in Ye Feiqiu's convoy, which is another new combat force. It should be more than enough to deal with the swarm overhead.
"That's good. You send someone to deal with the matter. Our convoy will be here soon!" Ye Feiqiu immediately ordered the convoy to continue to speed up and rush to the location of the locust extermination machine.
