107. The situation is not rosy
After receiving the order, the man in gray dispersed.
They walked freely at the top of the ramparts, unnoticed by the garrison and militia.
They are not invisible, but they are silent and have no trace.
The scalper put on his hood again, his honest face was hidden in the shadows, and he changed from an honest and sincere middle-aged man to a strange and mysterious gray man.
……
An array of heavily armed guards, changing from a phalanx to a cone. A high-level [Enhancement Domain] Domain cultivator, he is strong and persistent, and as a forward, he is sharp and fast. Warriors on both wings are armed with submachine guns or howitzers, and they use whistling enchanted bullets to hail the hideous insects, strong and powerful.
There is only one purpose, not to maximize the damage, to break through and cut the impermeable insect tide. Like an anti-wave, it shatters the raging tide.
Elite students, members of social organizations, employees of large corporations, and other non-guard cultivators are responsible for hunting down scattered swarms according to the configuration of hunter squads.
The alien insects that have lost their numerical advantage are simply no match for the hunter team with reasonable coordination and tacit understanding. It lets out a high-pitched howl and turns to powder or ashes. They have no independent consciousness, and can only feel pain at the moment of death, after the will of the queen worm fails.
The insect influx invaded in the early hours of the morning, and in the evening, Area 53 turned to attack.
The defensive battle on the ramparts lasted only one day.
This is one of the characteristics of the Worm Tide War, which is like an avalanche, obscuring the sky and unstoppable. But as long as it can survive the most violent waves, it will be able to smoothly switch to the counteroffensive, and there will be no stalemate or tug-of-war.
The results of previous insect tide invasions have shown that the will of the insect tide is not too high. It's just that according to the instinctive drive, he commanded all the insects and rushed up one by one, without any tactics at all.
The outcome of a war is often a one-shot deal. The results of the insect invasion will be revealed in a very short time. Either the barrier is breached by the insect swarm, and all humans become nourishment for the reproduction of the insect queen, or the human beings hold the barrier and the insect tide retreats.
This time, District 53 is facing a third-order insect tide that has devoured hundreds of thousands of fierce beasts, devoured millions of humans, gained two evolutions, and skyrocketed in number twice.
Although the scale of the insect tide is larger and more turbulent when it comes, it also has an advantage for District 53. After the insect tide devoured Area 69, its whereabouts were known. Area 53 has plenty of time to prepare, and there is no need to rush into battle.
The fall of many barriers is not because the strength is weaker than the insect tide, but because the wormhole suddenly descends at night, and the combat force on duty at night cannot resist the fierce insect tide.
In short, the most dangerous moment in Area 53 has passed.
The forces composed of the combined forces of the guards and cultivators were overwhelming. All of them were thrilled and brave. Especially the elite students selected from various schools, they are fighting bravely, and they can't wait to have three heads and six arms, and kill all the insects in their field of vision, those are the points of the activity......
The barrier defense phase is over, and there is no longer a need for a huge ice wall to throttle the insect tide. Three thousand [Elemental Domain] Frost Abilities were also incorporated into the cultivator team.
Lin Yiqing was not with the students of Lanhai University, but was incorporated into the special operations team of the Guard Army, and was active in the front of the overall front.
From Qiu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, in the current situation, everyone is scrambling to be the first, and there is no longer a need for the team to play a role.
She looked behind her, and the flat clearing was full of dejected cultivators. There are guards, there are guards, there are militia regiments with red armbands, and more are social practitioners in non-standard combat uniforms. They all have purple-black apertures around their wrists, and their mobility is limited. These were deserters who fled in fear of the battle, and were caught red-handed by the Warlords.
There was no look of fear on their faces, more chagrin and shame. According to the current law of District 53, these deserters will not be sentenced to death, but will be deducted from all resource points and undergo labor reform to perform some difficult tasks.
Congqiu always felt that Director Han was too kind. His personality is inconsistent, even a little domineering, but he is not ruthless enough to treat his enemies. Director Han rarely kills people, he always says a word, punishes the former and the latter, treats the disease and saves people.
Maybe this is the imprint left on him by the old era, Director Han always laughs at himself and says that he has the weakness and compromise of an intellectual. Congqiu doesn't know what this means, but he thinks that Director Han is also an intellectual, right? After all, what he said made so much sense......
In short, in this war against the insect tide, the situation is developing in a better direction, and everyone is in high spirits, as if victory is just around the corner.
Only Han Qingfeng was always frowning.
The King of the Flame Demon was in the middle of the insect tide, and he was unstoppable, burning the surrounding insects into ashes, and the ground turned into black scorched earth. The insect tide is no longer a big threat to Area 53.
Han Qingfeng felt exhausted, and Lu Xi's psionic enhancement couldn't allow him to control the Flame Giant easily. The aura condensed by Lu Xi was consumed in a few words.
He snapped his fingers, and the flame giant turned into a sky of sparks and scattered across the endless wilderness, burning the insects it touched into ashes.
The war has entered the counteroffensive phase, and there will be no more mass casualties. However, it is still far from a complete end, and the encirclement and suppression of the remaining insects will continue for several months.
To kill each worm, treat it with Flame, Freeze, and Acid to turn it into elementalized powder. Use [Elemental Domain]'s ability to clear every piece of land in the path of the insect tide, making sure that not a single nest, egg, or spores are left behind.
Studies have shown that in extreme cases, any species of alien worm is able to evolve into an adult worm and reproduce. Any negligence may lead to the comeback of the insect tide, and many barriers have suffered in this regard, and even fell under the second insect tide because of temporary laxity.
Risks remain, and the situation is not rosy. It must be thoroughly cleaned up without relaxation.
The other insect queen has not been found, and it is like a boulder that has been pressing on his heart. If an escaped insect is a safety hazard, then an escaped insect queen will definitely cause disaster.
And famine.
The invasion of insect tides will devour all living creatures in its path. This meant that for a long time after that, it was difficult to hunt ferocious beasts in the nearby wilderness.
After the insect tide recedes, crops cannot be grown on the land between the barriers until the egg sheaths and spores are completely cleared. The limited land within the walls alone could not support the entire 53rd District.
The famine that follows the Insect Tide sometimes causes more deaths, and is no less terrifying than the direct attack of the Insect Tide.
In such a situation, many barriers will choose to sacrifice some old and frail cultivators, provide them with a few days of rations, and arrange a mission that will never be completed, banishing them to the wilderness.
But Han Qingfeng didn't want to do this, abandoning the behavior of the weak in the group, which did not belong to human civilization.
