Chapter 33: Sweeping
At noon, it's approaching the hottest time of the day. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In this summer, when even the air is full of fire, it is the season when strange insects are like fish in water.
The insect swarm in Guangling City is gradually decreasing, there is no unified command, there is no nutrients provided by the fungus blanket, and now there is not even a living person in the city, and if this continues, the insects can only kill each other.
Last night's earthquake and explosion had already attracted a lot of insects, but the smell of natural gas everywhere made them desperate for flesh and blood not stay long in the ruined land. Most of the insects were circling around the river, and a few lucky ones stumbled up near the bridge and left the ruined city along the last iron bridge.
No one knows what lies beneath the surface of this ruined land.
However, there will be no lucky bugs again, because the only remaining bridge across the river has just been crushed by a sudden rain of light from the center of the river, and the insects that are crawling towards the opposite bank are caught off guard and fall into the water, whether they have crossed the bank or not, they have turned their heads to look at their desperate companions in the river, they have no mercy in their eyes, after looking for a while, the insects on both sides of the bank slowly turn around and crawl in other directions.
This is the disadvantage of relying entirely on psychic links for command, the lowest classes lack independent thinking, and after the command system is destroyed, they are either in chaos and cannibalism, or they simply rely on instinct to find life like a walking dead who has lost their souls.
The blasting robot flying in mid-air recorded the performance of the insect in real time, and this video will be saved for the purpose of studying the habits of the swarm.
Among the insects struggling desperately on the river, there is a strange insect that drifts farther and farther under the struggle, and no insect notices the abnormality, but if there is a human observing nearby, it will be surprising to find that there is no splash around this struggling insect on its own!
The insect drifting alone gradually moved away from the destroyed bridge, and the insect that was struggling all the time miraculously did not sink, and finally, when it drifted near a few insects crawling slowly on the shore, the insect actually struggled towards its companions.
It managed to make it ashore! If the insect has feelings, its companions will surely admire its amazing perseverance. However, the companions only turned their heads to look, and then crawled forward slowly.
The insect that had traveled a long way to its companion did not keep up with its companion's pace, only to see a burst of electromagnetic fluctuations flash from its body, and the original insect-like appearance was suddenly blurred. In the next second, the insect that had been floating in the river for a long time and was still extremely dry disappeared in place, replaced by a blue vehicle suspended above the ground, two rocket-like engines with tail wings were attached to both sides of the tail, and a sloping silver-gray automatic roller shutter door in the front quickly opened, and a group of well-armed imperial warriors rushed down quickly.
Thunderbolt Transport! An unarmored vehicle that can be disguised as an enemy unit! Although a single shell can easily knock this high-end hovercar into the tiniest fragments. But in the time it was not detected, it could use its extremely light body, which was always floating on the water and the ground, to send an entire squad of soldiers over the heavy lines of defense to the interior of the enemy's base, and when a large number of such transports swaggered to the rear of the enemy's army disguised as enemy troops, it was no less effective than tunnel worms!
The 10 Imperial warriors began a frenzied strafing at the insects that were still crawling slowly, and the dense kinetic energy beams instantly tore the tail of the insects into pieces, and the penetrating overheated warheads caused great damage in the instant when several insects were caught off guard.
Mortally wounded, the two remaining front paws tried to turn around and charge towards the Imperial warriors, but how could reality make them happy, one after another accurate shots pinned them firmly to the ground, only miserably twisting the worm's body but unable to move forward.
The other two insects in front of their companions were less severely wounded, and several warheads that hit their torsos did not affect their movements, although they caused great pain. The two insects quickly rushed to the roadside shop as their companions took the rain of bullets in their place, and then let out a strange hissing and pounced on the Imperial warriors.
Even the slightest gunshot inevitably made a distinct sound when firing intensively, and the soldiers near the street quickly turned their guns, and all of a sudden, the glass of the shops and floors was immediately shattered, and the splashes of cement slag even jumped on the soldiers' armor, and the insects that pounced on them were both struck and fell on the canopy of the sycamore trees on the side of the road before they could get close.
"Eat me a mallet!" A burly figure strode out of the Thunderbolt with a hideous expression, and he shook the grenade launcher attached to the rifle in his hand, adjusted the angle slightly, and pulled the trigger sharply.
"Boom!" A huge spark exploded above the canopy, and the huge plane tree was instantly blown bare, and the entire trunk began to burn in the heat. The two mutilated insects tumbled and fell to the ground, and the soldiers who were gathered around them replenished their guns, and they were almost dead anymore.
The corpses of the four insects were piled up on the side of the road by the soldiers so that they could be cleaned up by mining trucks that arrived shortly after. Qin Feng had already divided the entire city into several areas, and the Thunderbolt Transport Ships dispatched around carried a sufficient number of Imperial warriors to search for single or small number of insect swarms, and when the insect swarms in each area were cleared, the mining vehicles would be dispatched to earn Qin Feng valuable funds that would soon be stretched thin.
Wang Ba, who woke up in the early hours of yesterday morning, was shocked by the huge building complex that rose overnight, and at this time, who told him that Qin Feng was just an ordinary officer who pulled up the flag and ran out on his own, he would definitely slap the other party hard. "Could this be the power that ordinary people have?!"
Qin Feng didn't explain too much to him, he knew that the shock was only temporary after all, and after the shock, deep thought followed. Wang Ba is courageous, courageous, and at the same time very eye-catching, Qin Feng has already thought that he will inevitably deal with the military or other forces in the future, such a person who seems to be difficult to mess with as a spokesperson, it is difficult to say that it may not be suitable.
In the background, a smart person like Wang Ba doesn't care where the human power he can rely on comes from, he only cares if this force is firmly in Qin Feng's hands, if Qin Feng is just a puppet pushed to the surface by a big force, even if Qin Feng is interesting enough, following a puppet is not Wang Ba's lifelong goal, what he longs for is that this magical base is unique in this world, and Qin Feng is the only master of this mysterious power, in that case, He, the first person to join the gang, naturally became a veteran, or even a second-in-command.
Qin Feng really didn't disappoint him, although he didn't explain to him anything about the origin of this base that was being built in full swing, but he emphasized to him the fact that Qin Feng was the only master here, and all the soldiers here were loyal to Qin Feng alone.
And for Wang Ba, that's enough.
The destruction of the bridge was like a signal, and on the ruins of the building, where many insects had been stationed one after another, a strange insect suddenly emerged from the ruins, and the debris and dust that fell instantly turned it gray.
The insects crawling around on the ruins and rubble were no stranger, and just an hour ago they had seen another insect crawl out of the ruins, and then quickly crawled away, and two other insects crawled out with them, but they had not been seen turning back until now.
However, the insects miscalculated this time, this one just found a place to lie there quietly and remained motionless, and then there was a sound of breaking through the rubble, and more and more insects came out of the ruin.
There was a commotion among the swarms, but the companions who survived the collapse of the building did not look for any of the insects to communicate with, they just looked for a place one by one, and then lay still on their stomachs.
It's as simple as finding a place. If you look down from the sky, you can clearly see that these insects that have just crawled out are forming a circle, silently enveloping the insects that were already here.
Immediately after the last point of the encirclement was filled, the situation changed. The insects that had been lying quietly tore off their long-hidden camouflage, and instantly cleared the soldiers contained in their bodies.
More than a hundred Imperial warriors had already begun to shoot before they could fully run off the Thunderbolt transport, countless short rays of light lit up the entire ruins, and the suddenly awakened insects rushed towards the shooting Imperial warriors by instinct without knowing it.
