Chapter 112: Killing in the Night
The moonlight had converged, and the sun had not yet risen, coinciding with the darkest hour before dawn.
It's not dawn yet.
The guards on duty at the gathering place of Bluestone Mountain were already a little sleepy, but they still cheered up and stood on the watchtower, trying to scan the surroundings by the light of the burning torches.
Although there are not many places that can be seen clearly, no one dares to relax, the order of Wushan City has been spread all over the nearby gathering places, and the scientific research institute has confirmed that the insect plague has a power comparable to a large-scale ghoul tide, and I heard that even Baihai City has been planted.
Backed by brutal facts, every gathering place is treated solemnly, and no one dares to take it lightly, which is a major matter related to the lives of the members of the entire gathering place.
Especially as the gathering place of Qingshi Mountain, which is the closest to Baihai City, the pressure has increased dramatically, and the whole city has already been ready for battle.
I don't know when it started, a drizzle fell on the black sky, a little cool.
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of the rain sounded a little weird, as if it was pounding on something, and the crackling didn't sound right.
"Hey, it's cold."
Some guards couldn't help rubbing their hands and shrunk their necks, and the rain falling from the sky was strung into a beaded curtain, covering the watchtower tightly, and the guards looked out through the rain curtain, and could only see some blurry pictures.
"The sound of this rain sounds like hail."
One of the guards complained, looked at his companions who were leaning against the watchtowers and trying to keep their eyes open to sleep, and at the other watchtowers in the rain, which looked like tombs hidden in the night, and there was no movement except for the light of the candles jumping in the distance, a deathly silence.
"Those guys aren't going to fall asleep, are they?"
The guard was thinking, he couldn't hold it anymore, and the armor on his body might be extra cold because of the rainy night.
That's when it happened.
There was a faint sound of "shivering" in the darkness, which was not real in the sound of the rain, but if you listened closely, you could distinguish the movement, and this strange sound made the guards in the watchtower feel refreshed.
"There's movement."
The guard pushed his partner next to him, then looked at the rain curtain, gritted his teeth and stepped forward, trying to reach out to see the situation.
Just as his head was close to the edge of the watchtower......
"Huh!"
A terrible cold light pierced the rain curtain and slashed at the guard's head with a chill, his eyes widened and he wanted to scream, but he didn't have time to react, and his pupils reflected the cold light, a brown shell like a sickle.
"Poof!"
Blood splattered and melted into the rain, the huge head fell from the sky, the headless body fell limply in the watchtower, and the blood of the other guard stained half of the body, and he stared at the scene in horror with his blood-stained eyes.
He saw it.
A large insect head came in from outside the watchtower, and cold compound eyes were watching him.
If you look at it from the outside, this watchtower is crawling with large insects with a body length of two meters, lying on the watchtower, silently, slowly upward, like mature hunters, slowly approaching their prey.
"Ahh
The terrible screams finally sounded from the watchtower, but with a "poof", the strong smell of blood spread, and the screams stopped abruptly.
But the short screams had already attracted the attention of the other watchtower guards.
"There's a situation over there! Is it the enemy who has invaded? ”
"Hey, what the hell is going on...... Ah, bugs! Bugs have entered the tower! ”
"Quick, kill.... Yes! ”
"Watch behind you! What a lot of bugs! Sound the alarm! ”
Screams rang out one after another, and several watchtowers quickly fell silent after a brief moment of confusion, but the alarm had already sounded.
"Bang!"
A ray of light rose from one of the watchtowers, piercing through the rain curtain and exploding from above, the intense light illuminating almost half of the bluestone mountain gathering place, waking countless people from their sleep, and also illuminating the creatures in the darkness outside the gathering place.
It was a huge bug, the size of a small house, and it was surrounded by countless dense large bugs, quietly and quickly approaching the gathering place of Qingshi Mountain under the rain curtain.
"Raid at night, it seems that it still doesn't work, there are enhancers stationed in the watchtower."
Long Aotian muttered to himself, he stood under the rain curtain, looking at the gathering place in front of him, where the lights gradually lit up, like a giant who had completely awakened from the night: "Since you can't attack at night, let's attack." ”
The watchtower with the enhancer stationed is naturally arranged with the special ability enhancer who is good at vigilance or can definitely give a warning before death, which has nothing to do with the strength of the enhancer, it all depends on the ability of the enhancer.
The swarm can kill the watchtower's guards, but it can't stop the Hardeners from sending out a dying warning.
"Attack, jump worms into the city! Open the gates! ”
Long Aotian gave an order, and the jumping insects around him had already accelerated their pace of progress, approaching the city gate of the Qingshi Mountain gathering place at the fastest speed.
The Qingshi Mountain Gathering Place is not a large gathering place, the city wall is not high, and the ordinary jumping insects step on the backs of two or three companions, and then jump hard, enough to jump over the city wall with excellent bounce power, climb the watchtower, and then fall into the city along the watchtower.
"Bugs, bugs!"
"The bugs are in!"
"Go and shout to the Guards! Go and gather the Enhancers! ”
"Everyone, take up arms! Kill all the bugs! ”
Thinking of the shouts of the human guards one after another in the city, through the perspective of ordinary jumping insects, Long Aotian could clearly see that there were already three or four thousand guards gathered in the street, and they were stationed at the city gate.
Judging from the scale of the Qingshi Mountain gathering place, these three or four thousand guards are almost half of the strength of the gathering place, since the Qingshi Mountain gathering place received the order of Wushan City, it has been arranging these people near the city gate, and going all out to deal with the dangers that may arise at any time.
But even though the Qingshi Mountain gathering place had taken the warning of Wushan City very seriously and arranged heavy soldiers to guard it day and night, these guards still couldn't stop the actions of ordinary jumping insects.
There were so many bugs that jumped into the city, like a huge hail that fell with the rain, one after another fell from the sky, fell into the city, and soon gathered into two forces.
One force advanced forward, taking the initiative to attack and destroy the guards who were protecting the city gates; Rushing into the streets, they began to deliberately drive away the humans, destroying buildings and houses, waking ordinary humans from their sleep, and driving them together without killing them all.
Under the wisdom of the insect queen, the insects with low intelligence are the best soldiers, resolutely carrying out all the orders of the insect queen.
The swarm's consciousness network ensures the information exchange and communication of each bug, and also allows the bug queen to grasp any details of the battlefield.
The queen and the swarm are one.
"Cockroaches approach the city gates, blast them open!"
Long Aotian's order was swift and resolute, the jumping insects had already dragged the human defense force closest to the city gate in the city, and this was a good opportunity for the cockroaches to exert their strong strength to break open the city gate, as long as the city gate was opened, countless insects could rush into the city along the gap and kill.
A mere gathering place of bluestone mountains can't stop the invasion of insect swarms at all.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
Cockroaches are larger than jumping insects, and with their thick carapace and excellent strength, every impact can make the gates shake and tremble.
A few minutes later.
"Bang!!"
With a loud bang, a crack opened in the city gate, and the cockroaches tore open the crack with powerful insect limbs, completely destroying the city gate.
"Enter the city!"
Long Aotian opened his mouth indifferently, and the six insect legs moved forward, advancing with the tide-like insect swarm, entering the city.
The slaughter of the swarm has officially begun.
