Chapter 745: Opening up a safe zone
This sixth-level plus death squad was personally led by Lin Zaishan himself, and its members included Wu Chaoqun, Schwarronsen, Fritsch, Du Ziming, Feifeng, Ye Jingying, Zhang Sanheng, and Kobayashi Julan.
Ye Jingying was not a member of the death squad, her identity was extremely special, and everyone dared not arrange her to take risks; But she herself strongly applied to join, and Lin Zaishan agreed. Zhang Sanheng and Xiaolin Julan's strength is far from the others in front of them, and they are not qualified to join the sixth-level plus death squad, Lin Zaishan thinks that they have reached the verge of breaking through, so they simply put the two in the queue.
The Expendables set off at around 8 p.m., cast the Space Leap ability (and the other team members who had not yet mastered it) and landed on a skyscraper near the northern outpost in less than a minute.
By this time, hundreds of thousands of bugs had besieged the outpost and launched an onslaught.
Luo Weiming and Wang Ziqiang were ordered by the Zhongcheng headquarters to hold on and hide behind the protective net to attack the swarm. Lei Hong noticed that Lin Zaishan was waiting for the arrival, and quickly flashed out to greet him.
Zhang Sanheng saw the tide-like swarm of insects in front of him, and couldn't help but soar in battle, and wanted to charge into battle. Lin Zaishan stopped him: "Don't be impatient!" It's not yet time for us to strike. ”
Everyone watched patiently, only to see that there were swarms of insects coming to support them from all directions, and the number of swarms besieging the outpost soon exceeded 1 million and continued to grow. The colorful light emitted by the protective net of the Midtown outpost when it was attacked by bugs was gradually covered by the thick layer of the body of the swarm that clinged to it. Eventually, the swarm of insects layered on top of each other, forming a surging mountain that completely buried the entire outpost.
"Boss, aren't we going to attack yet?" Zhang Sanheng was a little anxious, "What if the brothers at the outpost can't hold on?" ”
Lin Zaishan instructed: "Feifeng, Ye Jingying, Zhang Sanheng, Xiaolin Julan, the four of you are stationed in this building to block and defend against insects passing through the air; Supergroup selectively kills high-level bugs; The rest of the team attracted and diverted the army of insects on the periphery of the encirclement; I provide pickup and protection nearby. Let's go! ”
The crowd immediately went their separate ways. Wu Chaoqun took the lead in rushing into the dense insect swarm, and cast 5 thunderbolts in succession, burning a huge gap in the thick encirclement of the insect swarm, and then he specifically sought out and killed high-level insects such as Tyrannosaurus rex bugs, plasma bugs, trebuchet bugs, and Zerg leaders.
Schwaronson, Fritsch, Du Ziming and Lei Hong began to bet again, they made a bet, limited to this mission, to compete for the number of bugs killed, and the last one in the ranking will run naked on Midtown Street in broad daylight for 1 minute. The men were not afraid of insects at all, but they were quite worried about running naked, so they all fought bravely to kill insects, lest they be left behind.
Feifeng, Ye Jingying and other 4 people were found and surrounded by sparrow insects and others who came to support from the sky in the building. They have their own magical powers, but they have also achieved quite a lot.
Lin Zaishan floated high in the air, overlooking the below, and had a clear grasp of everyone's actions and situation. From time to time, he used the Consciousness Code to rescue members in danger, and incidentally collected the star souls of the bugs in large quantities.
The large-scale operation of the insect swarm is highly dependent on the control of the Zerg leader, so Lin Zaishan took one attack after watching for an hour, easily eliminating multiple Zerg leaders, and then, the millions of insects besieging the outpost fell into chaos. The battle turned into a one-sided killing of humanity to a considerable extent. Of course, the individual combat power of the insects is basically there, and it is not easy for everyone to wantonly slaughter the insects, at least, their energy consumption and overload index are increasing rapidly.
//////
Ye Jingying, Zhang Sanheng, and Kobayashi Julan are the weakest, and they have repeatedly suffered symptoms of lack of energy and overload. These three people knew that Lin Zaishan would protect them in a critical moment, so they didn't panic, but gritted their teeth and held on.
"Whoosh", a sturdy flying insect suddenly grabbed Ye Jingying with its sharp claws and lifted her away from the building. Zhang Sanheng and Kobayashi Julan jumped up desperately at the same time to save them, and the two of them rode on this flying insect one by one. The latter vibrated their huge wings and desperately tried to shake them off.
Zhang Sanheng kept shooting the back of the insect with a laser gun, but he couldn't penetrate the thick carapace of the insect. Kobayashi Julan poured frozen energy with a special double knife and slashed at the insect's head, only making it even more violent.
The insect did more than a dozen tumbling in the air one after another, and finally got rid of Zhang Sanheng and Xiaolin Julan, and then adjusted its posture, grabbed Ye Jingying's limbs and exerted force violently, ready to tear her to pieces.
Ye Jingying recited the talisman spell taught to her by Lin Zaishan at the critical moment, activated the protection code, and broke free from the grasp of the flying insect. She swung her twin swords in the air and shot two beams of energy, hitting the flying insect in the head and killing it. She herself casts teleportation and flashes to the ground.
Before she could gain a firm footing, a dozen tentacles suddenly poked out from the ground, wrapped her firmly around her, and instantly pulled her into the cracks in the ground.
"No!" Kobayashi Julan, who had just fallen heavily from the air to the ground, screamed loudly when she saw this, and jumped to the crack in the ground with her tentacles desperately. More than a dozen tentacles stretched out in the air, entangled her, and dragged her into the endless darkness without hesitation.
In the terrible darkness underground, a greedy mouth was about to devour Ye Jingying and Kobayashi Julan.
At this critical moment, a shining figure flashed above the head of the octopus insect, which was Lin Zaishan. In less than a hundredth of a second, he snatched Ye Jingying and Kobayashi Julan from the tentacles of the octopus worm, and flew out with the second daughter. He used the energy beam to levitate the two girls in the air, and after a quick scan, he was sure that they were all right.
"Octopus bugs are terrible!" Ye Jingying leaned down in the arms of Lin Zaishan.
"I'm going to get rid of it." Lin Zaishan was about to snap his fingers, but was stopped by Ye Jingying.
"I'm going to face this bug and kill it with my own hands." Ye Jingying's attitude was very resolute.
"I'm willing to assist Miss in this challenge!" Kobayashi Julan also followed suit.
"That's fine. For you, the only way to kill the octopus worm is to enter its body and attack its nerve centers. ”
Ye Jingying and Kobayashi Julan glanced at each other, and they both took a deep breath, ready to jump down from the air and shoot directly at the octopus insect.
At this moment, only an earth-shattering roar was heard, and the octopus insect the size of a football field arched out of the ground, and hundreds of tentacles whipped aimlessly for a while, and then "boomed" and fell to the ground.
"Huh? What's going on? Ye Jingying and Kobayashi Julan were stunned, they hadn't acted yet, why did the octopus insect die?
I saw a man covered in flesh and mud get out of the corpse of the octopus worm, jump to the hard ground, raise the laser gun in his hand and laugh wildly - it was Zhang Sanheng.
Lin Zaishan took Ye Jingying and Xiaolin Julan to flash next to Zhang Sanheng and praised: "Good job!" ”
"Thank you, Boss!" Zhang Sanheng was very happy to see that his second daughter was safe and sound.
"It's too risky to carry out this tactical move with your strength, don't be so impulsive in the future."
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Sanheng actually saw the eldest woman being "devoured" by the octopus insect just now, and felt that he was out of responsibility, so he jumped into the mouth of the octopus insect with his life, preparing to die with the latter. With his strength, he would have melted as soon as he entered the octopus insect's body, but he activated the ring given to him by Lin Zaishan at a critical moment, so that he could protect himself and shoot the octopus insect's vital point.
For the rest of the night, similar thrilling scenes continued to play out from time to time. The fighting will and fighting ability of all the people in the death squad have been greatly tested, especially Zhang Sanheng has made the greatest progress.
//////
By the morning of the next day, the main force of the Dreadnought team arrived. All parties worked together to show their might, and they fought for another day and night before they annihilated the main force of the swarm besieging the outpost. For the rest of the clean-up work, the garrison commanded by Luo Weiming was more than competent.
In the Battle of the Outpost, Midtown won a big victory at a small cost of 120 men killed (all of whom were quickly resurrected) and 7,000 vassal bugs killed. Lin Fuzi and Lin Zaishan have collected a total of 130,000 Zerg Star Souls, many of which are Level 6 plus Star Souls. In this battle, Wu Chaoqun went all out, but Lin Zaishan did not do his best.
In the past, nearly a million insect swarm corpses were definitely a heavy burden and serious pollution, but in the face of Lin Zaishan's powerful abilities and Zhongcheng's advanced technology, these have become valuable life resources. Lin Zaishan and Lin Fuzi used these corpses and the collected star souls to create a large number of insect slaves and other transformed life of star souls, which greatly expanded the strength of Zhongcheng.
In addition to the outpost garrison, Lin Zaishan, the sixth-level Star Soul Death Squad, the Dreadnought Squadron, and a transport team loaded with materials such as steel and insect corpses returned to Midtown together.
After Lin Zaishan returned to the city, he immediately organized three other outpost troops, selected and appointed Aiqishi, Qiang Ge, and Lei Hong as the commanders of the southern, eastern, and western front stations, and equipped them with personnel, vehicles, and weapons and equipment respectively.
When the three outpost troops were still being prepared, Lin Zaishan specially went to the east, west, and south directions to conduct field investigations, and used the eighth-level ability to build a fortress similar to the northern outpost, and the three outpost troops could be stationed and use various facilities as soon as they went to their respective destinations.
One of Lin's most important level 8 abilities is to use his mind to control things like dirt, sand, and stone. It was because of this advanced ability that he was able to build a city overnight. It is precisely because of Lin Zaishan that Midtown has been able to break away from the survival and development mode of other survivor settlements, and continue to create miracles one after another.
In less than 10 days, four outposts in the south, east, and northwest of the city were built as scheduled, forming a solid barrier on the periphery of the middle city. Once the outpost garrison was fully in place and had withstood the first round of overwhelming onslaught from the surrounding swarms, Midtown began to organize forces to wipe out the remnants of the swarm between the outpost and the Midcity district.
The purge lasted another week. In this process, Lin Zaishan personally inspected and participated in the battle on the front line almost every day, and chose opportunities to plant intelligent plants, open up new farmland, build small strongholds, and build roads, and install protective nets in suitable places. These new facilities not only have strong vitality and defense capabilities on their own, but also intertwine with each other and integrate with the midtown and outposts, together forming a super protection network covering hundreds of kilometers.
On the 25th day of the first month of the new era of the end times, the people of Midtown finally turned the huge space of nearly 200,000 square kilometers within a radius of 200 kilometers around Midtown into a safe zone suitable for human habitation, insect swarms and other apocalyptic threats.
Citizens are allowed to go out of the protective net in the middle of the city to the suburbs to visit, work and relax. People systematically restored the terrain and landforms that were originally destroyed by the Zerg, planted a large number of trees or crops, stocked animals synthesized with the latest star soul technology, and built farms, warehouses, maintenance stations, and signal transfer stations in suitable places. There are also many citizens who go out to the countryside to bask in the extremely warm sun in the last days and feel the vitality and fragrance of the newly grown smart plants. The safe zone is full of idyllic prosperity and peace.
