The moon had set, and the crows were crying. It's cold, and the sun is about to rise. It should be a beautiful picture in Tang poetry, but at this moment, it is extremely serious and cold.

Nearly 3,000 people from the Sioux City garrison and the evacuation regiment of the magic capital are ready to attack behind the defense line on both sides of the canal, from the outbreak of mosquitoes at more than two o'clock to the next day at more than five o'clock, the first line of defense has been broken, and after the last person crossed the bridge, the second line of defense officially began to be activated.

Behind them is the city government, and if the second line of defense still can't stop this insect tide, it will mean the demise of Sioux City. At this moment, the entire army is in position in the second line of defense, and all government officials are also concentrated in the government building. After most of the people in the west of the city had evacuated to Tiger Hill, the soldiers stationed there were completely unaware of the chaos in the rear. The police could no longer sustain the frenzied flight of more than 10 million people who had lost their minds, and there were heads on every street in Gusu District, and they frantically flocked to the East City Gate.

Armoured vehicles loaded with flamethrowers were facing the air on the other side of the river, and rows of oil drums built a triple defense on the west bank of the canal, and only a formation of fuel drums was needed to build a wall of fire. If it still can't resist the mosquito tide, the military will have to break the wrist of a strong man.

"It's coming!"

The soldier shouted, only to see that as far as his eyes could see, a black line in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, the dark cloud of mosquitoes was less than a kilometer away from the second line of defense, and the sound of helicopter propellers lingered in the ears of all soldiers.

"Hit!"

With the order of the head of the regiment, countless flamethrowers shot more than ten meters long tongues of fire at the other side of the river, and those oil drums filled with high fuel and gasoline were ignited in an instant, and the red fireworks flew up several meters high, but this only burned the mosquito swarm hovering in the low air. Ordinary mosquitoes can't fly too high due to their size, but they can fly to a low altitude of more than ten meters at this moment, which is already a giant mosquito.

Pitch-black smoke rose upward, and the scorching breath made the faces of the soldiers across the river red, and the wall of fire that stretched for three or four hundred meters blocked the mosquito tide on the other side of the river. Even if the flames can't burn them, the blazing breath discourages the mosquitoes.

But soon, as if commanded by something, the giant mosquitoes circled for a while and split into two paths, flying along the north and south of the wall of fire, and they wanted to go around to a place where there was no fire in the north and south!

But soon two other layers of defense also ignited the wall of fire, which surrounded the mosquito swarm on three sides.

"Throw poison gas cylinders!"

That's right, it was a makeshift inflatable tank filled with mosquito repellent, and these grenades, compressed with high-density mosquito repellent, were quickly heated and exploded after being thrown into the range of the scorching wall of fire, and a burst of gas-like gas rushed straight into the sky. The huge mosquito body was directly smoked to death in the poisonous gas and then fell to the ground, and then the mosquito swarm behind still rushed forward without knowing whether to live or die.

All the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how large the number of mosquitoes without wisdom is, no matter how huge the size is, it is not difficult to eliminate! After about half an hour, the black mosquito tide was almost completely wiped out in the fire, only a few thin swarms of mosquitoes were still floating in the low air, and the fire had consumed almost half of the army's fuel reserves.

An orange color had already appeared on the eastern edge of the mountain, and the day dawned, and the terror was over!

Commander Zhang and Commander Chen both exhaled heavily, and their bodies that had been tense all night slowly relaxed at this moment, but before they could say a word, they heard the frightened cries of the soldiers behind them.

"And! And also! ”

Head Zhang turned around in horror to look, only to see that where the sun rose, a black mosquito tide reflected the brilliance of the morning sun and flew towards the river, the area alone was definitely several times that of the previous mosquito tide, and the previous fire array was now only embers and flames.

"False...... Fake it......"

The soldiers felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if the mosquitoes in all of China were concentrated in Sioux City, and they couldn't kill them all, and they couldn't kill them all!

"Bang!"

Commander Zhang took out his pistol and pulled the trigger in the sky, and he roared angrily: "Brothers, behind us are the people of the whole Soviet City, your parents and siblings, for the sake of our homeland, we can't take half a step back!" Are you afraid of death? ”

The soldiers looked at each other, and then at the terrifying black clouds in the distance.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Roars resounded across the banks of the dawn.

"Kill!"

The soldiers roared angrily, picked up their flamethrowers and aimed at the flying mosquito tide, and the giant mosquitoes were burned into black balls and fell on the ground and in the river in front of the dense tongues of fire.

The attentive soldiers found that these giant mosquitoes were obviously larger than the original ones, the previous giant mosquitoes were only the length of a thumb, and now some of them were the size of a palm, and some were even the size of two or three palms. In the midst of the chaos, no one cares how big the giant mosquitoes are, because what is really terrifying is the number.

A swarm of hundreds of millions of mosquitoes, even if the soldiers frantically sprayed flames, could not stop such a flood. Viewed from the heights of Hanshan Temple, the soldiers on both sides of the canal who are battling the mosquito tide look like a group of survivors clinging to the sculpture in the flood.

The sound of artillery fire and machine guns, the battle has reached a white-hot stage, and the soldiers have lost their command, and they are frantically wielding all the weapons available to them between life and death, grenades, explosives, and firearms...... They no longer have the heart to think about whether these weapons are effective, because flamethrowers are finite, and mosquito swarms are almost infinite.

Commander Zhang's voice was already hoarse, and at this time, the soldiers of the three fortifications were all caught in a confrontation with the mosquito swarm, as long as the flamethrower could not cover the place, there would be giant mosquitoes taking advantage of the weakness, and they frantically attacked the soldier's array, inserting their iron array-like mouthparts into the soldier's body. Countless soldiers picked up the burning sticks on the ground and waved them to drive away the mosquito swarm, but the dense mosquito swarm could always find a place to go down, and every time they were bitten by a giant mosquito, it was as if they had been pricked with an iron needle, and the severe pain and swelling made the soldiers quickly lose their combat effectiveness and collapse on the ground.

The army can still stalemate with the mosquito tide at the moment, but it is foreseeable that when the fuel is completely exhausted, everyone in the army will become nourishment for the mosquito swarm.

Some of the soldiers who had joined the Demon Capital had already begun to retreat to the rear, which made Commander Chen very angry, and he stepped forward to grab a Demon Capital soldier who was about to run back, and roared, "What's the matter with you? Do you want to be a deserter! ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, lowered his head in some shame, and then listened to the noisy gunfire and thunderous mosquito sound in his ears, and shook off Commander Chen's hand: "They are soldiers from Sioux City, of course they can fight to the death for their hometown...... But I'm not, I want to go home, I miss my parents! ”

After saying that, he ran away without looking back, and looked around at the many deserters who were wearing the military uniforms of the Demon Capital, and Regiment Commander Chen felt very ashamed.

"Head Chen, take your people and leave!" At this time, Regiment Commander Zhang took a flamethrower and burned a group of mosquitoes attached to a dead soldier to suck blood, and said to Regiment Commander Chen, who was also in a fierce battle.

Commander Chen ignored him and continued to attack the mosquito swarm with a flamethrower.

"Head Chen, you withdraw! Go tell the city hall and retreat! The troops can't all be here, they need a commander! ”

Regiment Commander Zhang's guards rushed over and snatched the flamethrower in Regiment Commander Chen's hand, "Regiment Commander Chen, you quickly organize the brothers in the rear to withdraw!" We can't all be here! ”

"Commander, I'm out of fuel!"

"I'm gone!"

"The rockets and explosives are gone!"

"Head Chen, hurry up! Don't make fearless sacrifices! As he spoke, Regiment Commander Zhang rushed out of the fortifications and shouted, "Execute the third line of defense!" ”

The third line of defense! Head Chen was shocked in his heart, the so-called third line of defense is actually the worst-case scenario, they will set fire to half of Xicheng District, forming a sea of fire to isolate the mosquito tide!

"People are dead!" Regiment Commander Zhang roared, and got into an armored car with the support of a group of soldiers wearing chemical protective uniforms, and then the rows of armored vehicles were ready to go, and after Commander Zhang gave an order, they turned around and rushed towards the endless mosquito tide across the bridge.

"For the sake of my fathers and fellow villagers!"

The remaining soldiers shouted, brandishing torches and trying to burn the mosquito swarm in front of them.

Commander Chen looked at the convoy that disappeared into the mosquito tide, felt the corners of his eyes moisten, cleared his hoarse throat, and opened his mouth to organize the remnants of the soldiers on the scene to retreat while fighting, return to the truck, and then set off back to the city center.

With the fierce gunfire on the other side of the river, a sea of fire quickly ignited, and the dark smoke quickly rose, and in more than ten minutes, all the residential areas and buildings along the river were plunged into a sea of fire, and the fire was so big that the green plants of Hanshan Temple were smoked yellow.

At this time, the only remaining little monk in Hanshan Temple was begging his master to flee with him.

The wrinkled old monk looked at the miserable scene at the foot of the mountain and chanted the Buddha horn heavily.

"Amitabha."

"Master, come with me!" The little monk knelt beside the old monk and pulled his sleeve and said sadly.

"In this world of suffering, where is it not a troubled world, and where is there to go? Fang Wu, you go! As he spoke, he removed the hand of the little monk named Fang Wu.

Monk Fang Wu squatted for a while and gritted his teeth fiercely, he knew that this was the master's choice.

"Master, I'll prove it to you, what calamity counts and what days, people will win the day!"

Listening to the words from Fang Wu, who went down the mountain, the old monk shook his head, stood up quietly, and walked to the highest point of Hanshan Temple.

As if he could see thousands of miles away, he quietly looked into the distance: "Have I ever been compassionate?" Why do people in the world have to suffer so much? ”

In his eyes, he seemed to see the miserable deaths of people in the last days, broken families, and heroic martyrs who fought and died fighting monsters...... At this time, the world is no longer the world that the Buddha said, this is simply the hell of evil ghosts!

The old monk closed his eyes in pain, and a line of tears flowed from his deeply sunken old eyes.

At this time, a swarm of mosquitoes that crossed the river bank flew towards Hanshan Temple, and they flew towards the only living person, the old monk. Letting countless giant mosquitoes bite his body, the old monk did not move. After a few minutes, all the giant mosquitoes had sucked up their fill, and only the body of the shriveled old monk was left, which fell to the ground like a coffin board......

In the city government, as soon as the head of the Chen regiment, who withdrew in embarrassment, informed them of the situation outside, he was pointed at his nose by some higher-level officials and asked why he didn't stop the mosquito tide and why he didn't stop the city's resources!

Head Chen didn't want to explain to him at all, he said one word directly, get out!

"How dare you talk to your superiors like that?" Vice Mayor Li stood up dissatisfied, if it is about rank, the head of the Chen regiment is at most a county magistrate in terms of administration, have you ever seen a county magistrate tell the deputy mayor to get out?

"If you don't want to die here, hurry downstairs and get in the car, and we'll escort you outside Sioux City!" After experiencing the past few days, Commander Chen feels that all his anger for more than 30 years has exploded at this moment, and the only remaining bit of discipline as a soldier is gradually losing away.

"How dare you talk to me like that? You wait, I must talk to your commander when I arrive at the Jiangnan Station area! Vice Mayor Li threatened fiercely, and then turned around and went downstairs with a group of magistrates from the Demon Capital.

"Head Chen, don't be angry!" Mayor Su Cheng smiled and said, "What about Head Zhang?" ”

Head Chen choked up, "Without His Royal Highness Head Zhang, I won't be able to come back......"

Mayor Sucheng's smile froze, and the atmosphere of the entire office building became solemn.

"You said to take us out of town? Won't you send us to Jinling? The secretary asked.

"Jinling? I'm going to take you to Jinling? What about tens of millions of people? "Captain Chen almost shouted.

The secretary was so frightened that he shrank back, and after a while, he said weakly: "With our troops, we can't maintain order in Sioux City, and we can go back and report the situation to our superiors, which is the first priority......"

The mayor of Sucheng raised his hand and stopped the secretary from continuing to speak.

"Head Chen, I understand! But you're wrong, I'll go back and forth with the people! I don't believe that thousands of people are afraid of a swarm of mosquitoes! He said in a sonorous voice.

The evacuation of the crowd from the west of the city intensified the retreat atmosphere of the whole city, and listening to the stories of these people from the west of the city, the people in the east of the city felt even more urgent.

The defeated army, the overwhelming mosquito tide, and the giant mosquito the size of a palm that can suck people dry in one bite...... All this is like a myth, but it is happening right in front of the eyes, after Commander Chen's army escorted the retreat of the leaders of the city center, the evacuation wave of the people of Sioux City entered a climax. More stampedes and crimes are on the rise, and many people who are usually honest and honest are doing evil in the center of the chaos...... Order was lost, and people flocked out of the city.

The people who originally lived in the Demon Capital camp at the east gate had already fled first, one group went north, and a few went south. And their direction is Jinling, but to the north is a shortcut, and to the south is a big circle around Taihu Lake. But because there are too many people to the north, those who can't squeeze in have to run south. Cars were hard to move outside the city, and the huge, disorderly, and unsupplied movement was not as fast as walking on foot, and the spectacular migration began in Sioux City.
