456 Situation
Fast forward to July, and the number of giant insects across the country has rebounded strongly, and the damage caused by the insect plague has skyrocketed, and despite the military's best efforts, more than 100,000 people are still dying every day from the giant insects.

However, the giant insects have always had the characteristics of being numerous and fighting alone, and although the state has gathered the clusters as much as possible to facilitate protection, there are so many mouths waiting to eat in the whole country that cannot be ignored, and in order to obtain food, all localities have to withstand the attacks of the giant insects and plant grain at the cost of human lives, and protecting agriculture and grain is also the most important duty of the army at this stage.
The grain quota in various localities has been lowered again and again, to the point where they can only make ends meet, and criminal incidents of snatching grain and snatching grain have emerged one after another; although the situation has not yet reached the point of being eaten by the offspring, it is no longer news that the roots of grass are dug up and the bark of trees are eaten, and there have even been cases of people fleeing into the mountains and feeding on insects and trees.
If it weren't for the strict control of grain as a strategic material by the state, I am afraid that the situation would be ten times more serious!
The Great Famine is already on the horizon, but the whole world is struggling with insect plagues.
Although July is the summer harvest season, more than half of April is in the asteroid impact period, and the sown area of wheat and early rice in the country is less than half of that of previous years, and the harvest area is the highest is half of the planted area.
Moreover, fertilizer and water are affected by the general environment, and the decline in yield per mu is inevitable, and the output of summer grain is expected to be only about a quarter of that of previous years.
However, even if it is only a quarter of the previous year, it has solved the urgent need of the northern capital.
Not only did the food problem make the northern capital very troubled, but the country's finances also reached the limit, and even the military's weapons and equipment were broken, and they had to shrink the defense line and improve the offensive into defense.
In other words, the situation of human beings against giant insects has changed from a strategic attack to a strategic defense in a corner.
The foundation accumulated several decades ago has been consumed in nearly a year, and the production of the military industry cannot be supplied with the consumption of the whole country.
It's not that the factory is unwilling to produce, but that the raw materials are really not available!
Although the state's comprehensive implementation of the rationing system has made money as cheap as dung, even if we don't understand the truth of the national crisis, at least we understand the situation of the cold lips and teeth, and there are not a few conscious people, but the grim situation has a great impact on industrial and mining enterprises, especially resource-based enterprises.
The scarcity of materials eventually led to a shift in the strategic situation, and the northern capital had to start thinking about how to restore production in key industries, even if only in part.
The Northern Capital is trying its best to maintain the domestic situation, looking forward to the early growth of the ant colony and sharing the pressure of human resistance to biochemical giant insects.
The military planted nearly 1,000 ants across the country, but only four large colonies were formed, and more than a dozen smaller colonies struggled under the pressure of giant insects.
The only good news is that the ant colony in the north has been guided by the military to the north, and the combat effectiveness of a single giant ant is indeed not as good as that of the biochemical giant insect, but the giant ant is currently the only social giant insect, relying on the advantages brought by the population, the ant colony strongly suppresses the biochemical giant insect in the north.
The military not only relied on giant ants to recover most of Linzhou, but also relied on pheromone confusion to successfully sow a large area in the ant-occupied area to expand the output of autumn grain.
After hearing the news, the people of Jingjiang were all filled with emotion.
Jingjiang was abandoned last year because of giant ants, but now it is going to use giant ants to recover Linzhou and even the country, how can it not be embarrassing?
The same feeling is felt by the military, who a year ago fought to the death with giant ants, but now they have become a talisman for humans.
If it weren't for the limited number of giant ants, the current ant occupation area has reached the limit of expansion, and the northern capital may have ordered the military to drive the giant ants to recover the whole country.
What is happening at home is just a microcosm of the impact of the global insect infestation, and the situation is even worse abroad, with reports of insect infestations everywhere and militaries struggling to cope.
Many countries that have managed to survive the first wave of the plague have fallen helplessly in the face of even more violent plagues, with governments unable to carry out their responsibilities effectively, and their populations denied the protection of their armies, and have ended up following in Africa's footsteps.
Most of the fallen countries are located in underdeveloped regions, or simply island nations in the Pacific, and their relatively closed environments are particularly vulnerable to giant insect attacks.
Although some areas were not hit by large areas of biochemical giant insects, famine had been raging for a long time, and governments were powerless to do anything about food shortages around the world, and the famine eventually turned into a modern version of cannibalism.
In contrast, people who still have food to eat are already very lucky.
In order to save food, countries around the world have invariably expelled foreigners from their borders, and due to the lack of transportation, the vast majority of people cannot leave their host countries, and countless people die of starvation.
Not long ago, the social situation that could barely be maintained has declined in an all-round way, and there is a tendency to continue to collapse, and the theory of the end of the world has risen strongly, and in July alone, more than a dozen terrorist attacks instigated by doomsday sects occurred around the world, killing and wounding nearly 1,000 people.
Of course, not all regions are plagued by insect infestations, and the deserts of North Africa, the Middle East, and other areas lacking natural resources are naturally immune to insect infestations.
There are not no insects in the desert, beetles and scorpions are all indigenous to the desert, and there have also been cases of giantization, but the barren desert cannot support the growth of giant insects, and they will be starved to death before they grow up.
As for the oasis...... I'm sorry, it's human territory, and it's a miracle that a giant insect can be fed in an environment like a desert, and it's impossible to form a large-scale insect colony, and any giant insect that appears in the oasis will be ruthlessly exterminated by humans.
The desert is the only area on the planet that does not need to worry about insect swarms, and many people try to enter the desert area to live, but the oasis ecology is very fragile and cannot withstand the large-scale entry of humans at all.
In order to protect their own interests, desert countries do not allow outsiders to enter at all, and even local wars at the national level have occurred as a result, making the human world already shrouded in the shadow of insect plagues even more chaotic.
This summer is destined to be a season of burnout.
In this case, China's successful use of giant ants to expel biochemical giant insects is the only bright spot in the world, and all countries that have some methods have begun to ponder how to use giant insects to contain giant insects, and have contacted China in the hope of obtaining a queen ant.
Beidu doesn't want to send giant ants in vain, but the global insect plague is not good for China, but these countries that are asking for help are so poor that they can't exchange anything for the queen ant.
But it doesn't matter, there are no supplies and resources, no!
