Chapter 921: Catastrophe
This time the beast tide can be said to be without warning.
In other words, even if there was an omen, it was ignored because of the severe cold weather.
The weather in the past few days, even here in Dontnek, has been as low as minus 20 degrees.
On the day of the beast tide, the weather in Donetsk finally cleared up, and there was no more snow, otherwise it is estimated that even the plane would not be able to take off.
At this moment, the west coast of the United States is like being combed through a comb, and the eyes are full of desolation.
The casualties exceeded 100,000, and the direct economic losses exceeded 100 billion meters.
The United States, which had just lost a war in East Slavia, encountered such a catastrophe again, which is simply worse.
U.S. President Aubrica called on the people of the United States to unite to tide over the difficulties on television.
The National Guard and the Mi Army are in full force to try to completely wipe out the Ghost Claw Monsters that remain in the interior.
Soon, the local garrison and the National Guard rushed to the front.
Under the cover of fighter planes and helicopter gunships, the Mi army quickly and rigidly constructed a defensive line.
But soon, after hundreds of Red Demon Dragons joined the battle group, the Mi Army's helicopters lost hundreds of them in an instant, and the fighters could not stay in the air for a long time, and the Mi Army actually lost air supremacy in less than four hours.
In this case, the Mi army can only rely on the army to resist.
As a result, the US Army, which only attaches importance to the fire support of the Navy and Air Force on weekdays, found that after losing air support, the army's firepower was not enough to threaten the tens of thousands, and the speed was about the same as that of tanks, but in complex terrain, the mobility was much stronger than that of tanks.
The first line of defense, which had been constructed with great difficulty, was quickly breached. More than 3,000 meters of army and army were killed, and more than 200,000 civilians were killed or wounded.
The people of the United States are also crazy. All civilians can only be advised to retreat as quickly as possible to the inland states.
The Mi army also began a nationwide general mobilization, and all ground troops and missile units from various localities rushed to the three prefectures. The National Warriors Alliance of the United States also issued a notice, asking the official warriors to go to the national disaster together.
That night, there were six, seven, or eight warriors who volunteered to enter the affected area to fight against the Phantom Claw Monster, and after a night of fierce fighting, they finally stopped the attack of the Phantom Claw Monster.
Presumably, the Phantom Claw Monster also realized that there was a danger of going too far inland, and the resistance of the humans became more and more fierce, and after penetrating more than 200 kilometers into the mainland of Mi, it retreated on its own.
But after incomplete statistics. In Washington, California, and Ohio, as well as in the interior of Alaska, there are at least three or four thousand Ghostclawed monsters stranded.
These ghost-claw monsters probably tasted the benefits of the flat terrain of the United States, and what is even worse is that there are many houses in the United States that are villa-type, and in the eyes of the ghost-claw monsters, they are objects that can be crushed.
After tasting enough human flesh, they refused to return to the sea at all.
President Aubrica had to order the redeployment of 150,000 national reservists to the four states to drive out the incoming Ghostclaw.
Even the day after the beast tide took place. Publicly ask for humanitarian support from the world, especially from Huaxia.
Because it's very simple, Huaxia Kingdom, especially the Haixi Region, has relatively rich experience in fighting against Phantom Claw Monsters, and there is no other semicolon in the world.
Hua Xia Guo also agreed to provide some help. But the rescuers have not yet set off.
On the afternoon of the 19th, the western region of the Chinese Sea, Guangzhou, Wuzhou, and Songjiang regions were also attacked by phantom claw monsters.
and Huaxia suffered the same bad luck. There is also Mexico, Costa Rica, a coastal country in Central and North America. Chile in South America, the northern part of South Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, the east coast of Annam and other countries and regions. Almost at the same time, it was attacked by a tide of beasts.
Especially in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the northern part of South Australia, those ghostly claws penetrated deep inland, directly crossing hundreds of kilometers overnight, and some were directly penetrated through the country.
Moreover, many of these invaded countries have weak military strength.
When the Phantom Claws came ashore, they were almost in a no-man's land, and when they found that no one could resist them, they simply settled inland, refusing to leave.
For example, Papua New Guinea, an island country in the north of South Australia, originally had only five or six million people, and after being besieged by the Phantom Claw, the whole country was rampant by the Phantom Claw, and there were countless refugees, and no one could rescue them.
South Australia is a vast and sparsely populated country, although the military strength is also strong, but after the Phantom Claw Monster broke in, those no-man's land soon became their paradise, and it didn't take long for nearly a third of the country to appear Ghost Claw Monster.
As for Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, not to mention these countries, the rich people chose to flee north, hoping to go to the Indochina Peninsula and even Huaxia.
Judging from the current situation, only by fleeing to the regions of Huaxia and even the Harris and East Slavia is their chance to save their lives.
After all, there are no murderous Ghostclaw monsters there.
However, the Indochina Peninsula is not much better, and Annam in the east has also been invaded by ghostly claws and ravaged coastal cities.
And the hot and humid dense forest in the west is full of terrifying mutant snake demons, lizard monsters, and dire crocodiles, and once you enter the dense forest, there is no return.
Therefore, the only thing that seems to be safer is the inland hinterland of Huaxia, because the terrain is high, and Huaxia's economy and military are strong enough to resist the ghostly claws that are pouring ashore everywhere.
In particular, Huaxia is the only country that has repelled the Phantom Claw Monster, and is definitely an expert when it comes to fighting the Phantom Claw Monster.
Therefore, in this situation, which makes countries almost desperate, the wealthy class in many countries have taken planes and tried to take refuge in Huaxia.
However, at this moment, several administrative regions along the coast of Huaxia Kingdom have also been attacked by phantom claw monsters.
When Ning Yi received this news, it was at eleven o'clock in the evening of the 19th, that is, at five o'clock in the morning Huaxia time, that is, the Phantom Claw Monster officially landed on Linglan Island.
And the strange thing is that although there was a warning a day in advance, when a large number of ghostly claw monsters appeared, it happened to be just after five o'clock in the morning, when humans were most sleepy.
The submarine alarm device more than sixty kilometers away did not work, and it may have been destroyed by the Phantom Claw Monster in advance.
So, when the Ghost Claw appeared only thirty kilometers away from Linglan Island. The secondary alarm device was triggered, and a large number of 32 Group guards reacted.
Thankfully. Each of them has a wealth of experience fighting Spectreclaws.
Moreover, the fortifications on Linglan Island, even if Linglan Island, are all occupied by the Phantom Claw Monsters. It is also enough to last for three months.
So they immediately organized temporary fortifications and sent drones to reconnoiter the situation of the Ghostclaw around Linglan Island.
The results took them by surprise.
Because judging by what the UAV observed.
At least a thousand Phantom Claw Monsters were twenty miles away, and they had begun to approach Linglan Island, and there were many more Ghost Claw Monsters coming from afar.
Today, Li Jiawei and Feng Yingruo were stationed on Linglan Island, and Zheng Wu, Chen Bin and others were also there.
There are more than 530 full-fledged warriors in the four major bases on the island, of which more than 40 are above the yellow level, plus some quasi-warriors and auxiliary personnel, as well as a tank battalion and an air defense battalion of the military, with more than 3,000 people.
So. If it's more than a thousand Spectreclaw, it's not a big deal.
However, when the number is unknown, they do not dare to attack rashly.
Before contacting Ning Yi and Mu Qingxue, they immediately gave the order to defend, shrinking in various bases, and if there were a large number of casualties, they would hide in underground fortifications and wait for rescue.
As the most dangerous forward base, Ning Yi was actually not worried about Linglan Island, and the place he was most worried about was the Blue River Manor. and the base camp of the 32 Group, Haiyang District.
As early as after the west coast of the United States was attacked, Ning Yi asked Lin Yun, Lin Shiyao, and Shangguan Ni, who was pregnant, to withdraw from the villa near the sea to the Blue River Manor.
So at this moment, the defense ability of Blue River Manor is actually not bad, in the manor. With at least more than 200 full-fledged warriors and more than 200 would-be warriors, they are enough to guard the four gates.
Tall walls can also block the invasion of Talons.
But the only thing to worry about is the blood claw and the red demon dragon in the sky.
If these monsters come too. Then the test faced by Blue River Manor is different.
And on the side of the rice country, the Red Demon Dragon and the Blood Claw have appeared.
This time, the casualties of the Mi army were basically caused by the blood claws and the Red Demon Dragon.
On the island of Lingland. Ning Yi didn't have to worry, because the fortifications were basically considered to resist this level of the Red Demon Dragon.
There are even underground fortifications. And the doors of the buildings and the like, the Bloodclaw Monsters can't get in at all.
The Blue River Manor and Haiyang District are different, Haiyang District has only been successfully rebuilt, and people have only recovered from the beast tide more than a year ago, and now they are facing this disaster again.
And it is a harsh winter, and this kind of test can be imagined.
After Wind Shadow Frost gave the order for emergency defense, she immediately called Ning Yi and held a video conference.
Although it was a telephone video conference, the signal was probably a little intermittent because of the attack of the Phantom Claw Monster.
"According to the statistics of the United States, there are probably more than 30,000 ghost claw monsters in the four states, and our coastline may be slightly narrower, there may be thousands of invasions in Wuzhou, at least 2,000 in the Guangyue region, and there are thousands of heads we see here, but it is estimated that there will be more than 3,000 heads, plus the Songjiang region, more than 10,000 heads is certain."
Feng Yingshuang's voice was very heavy: "The people in Wuzhou have begun to evacuate, but fortunately, ground troops have been deployed in that area, and under the attack of heavy artillery, ordinary people have gained a lot of time. ”
"But in the Canton Region, it may not be so lucky, fortunately, the place where the Phantom Claw Monster is expected to land should be a sparsely populated place." Lin Yun pointed to the location of the electronic map hanging on the wall and explained, "So, if the Phantom Claw Monster hadn't invaded more than two hundred kilometers, there should have been only twenty or thirty thousand people affected. ”
"Songjiang Region, don't worry so much, there are heavy troops stationed there, and a lot of obstacles have been set up in order to strictly guard against the ghostly claw monsters, and the residents of the coastal area have been evacuated."
"So," Ning Yi frowned, "Actually, the most dangerous is the Haiyang Region?" ”
"Yes, but even if there are tens of thousands of ghost claw monsters coming, Linglan Island is enough to protect itself, and there is no problem with Blue River Manor, but the millions of people in Haiyang District only have the strength of one regiment of the army, and if you face thousands of ghost claw monsters, you will definitely not be able to hold it."
"Haiyang District is the backyard of our 32 Group, and these millions of people stayed because they thought we could protect them." Ning Yi remembered the refugees who were wailing and helpless after the war in East Slavia.
If there is no one to cover, what will happen to these millions of people, Ning Yi can't imagine.
In the last beast tide, the number of deaths in Nanling Town exceeded 100,000, and that was caused by less than a thousand ghostclaw monsters, and most importantly, those ghostclaw monsters did not go deep inland.
And this time the Ghost Claw Monster is menacing, and it is by no means comparable to the situation last time.
"Time is running out, and time is running out for us to think." "We have to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
"Have the residents of Haiyang District started to evacuate?" Ning Yi clenched his fists and asked.
On the one hand, there are millions of civilians, many of whom are family members of the 32 Group, and on the other hand, there are thousands of 32 Group employees on Linglan Island.
Both of these are objects that he cannot give up.
It's too hard to get him to choose one or the other.
If he could, Ning Yi would want to fly back to Nanling immediately, but not to mention that the airport is covered by heavy snow now, even if the airport can fly, there is no night plane to pass, and even if it can pass, the sky above Nanling Airport, I am afraid that the Red Demon Dragon will also be encountered.
He can't save his thirst from far water.
"Evacuation has begun, but at this point in time, it is too difficult to evacuate them hundreds of kilometers away at once, our idea is this, all residents with a height of less than three floors, let them hide in the high-rise buildings as much as possible, and use some debris to pile up the entrance of the building to stop the ghostly claw."
Kazekage took over and said, "But even if we do, it will take us at least six hours to do it, and for now, the Ghost Claw will have at most half an hour before it will start landing." ”
"Half an hour" Ning Yi looked at Mu Qingxue beside her, "Xue'er, what do you think we should do?" ”
"I know what you think, but it's too difficult to build a fortification in half an hour to resist thousands of ghostclaw monsters." Mu Qingxue shook her head gently, "That's the family of our 32 Group. ”
"However, that's a million people, and they are all family members of the 32 Group." The Wind Shadow clenched her fists tightly.
"I know" Mu Qingxue looked at Ning Yi and lowered her head, "You decide, you are the head of this family." ”
"Where is the projected landing point?" Ning Yi asked.
"We have released six drones, and the landing site of the Ghost Claw Monster is expected to have four in the first wave" Lin Yun pointed to the electronic map and paused, "The first one, the northeast corner of Linglan Island" (to be continued......
