Volume 1 Unheard of Star Names Chapter 20 The Collapse of Sioux City
A week has passed, and Sioux City has come out of the panic of the end times, and people feel as if they have only experienced a special meteorological disaster. Military control will end tomorrow and normal social order will soon be restored.
On this night, Sioux City was brightly lit, and everyone was waiting for the military to announce the exact news at midnight, and then the tanks, armored vehicles, and soldiers would be withdrawn from the streets, and the people would be free again. I have never been grounded, and I will never experience the happiness of being able to walk freely on the streets. When the mayor of Sioux City announced the lifting of military control, the entire Sioux City was in a boiling cheer, and the emotions that had been suppressed for half a month were released frantically in an instant......
At two o'clock in the morning, the two soldiers stationed on the watchtower of the West City Gate were napping when they suddenly woke up with a noise from the walkie-talkie.
The other side of the "Buzz Buzz ......" walkie-talkie was like being in an airport, drumming with dull vibrations.
"West City Outpost, please note receipt! If there is any change in the lakeside defense line, please report it in time, and please pay attention to the ...... of assisting in defense"
Before the other side finished speaking, it went to the news, leaving only a violent noise.
The two soldiers scrambled to their feet and looked through their goggles into the distance outside the west gate, and with the help of their night vision devices, they saw a dark cloud moving in the distance, getting closer and closer......
"What's that?"
One of the soldiers was surprised, and the dark cloud moved to a distance of only a kilometer outside the west gate with a violent shock, and then they saw clearly that it was an overwhelming cloud tide composed of some kind of flying insects!
The black cloud of insects flew closer and closer, and only then did they realize that the drum-like vibration was the buzzing reputation of the mosquito swarm! Each mosquito was the length of a finger, and the soldier could clearly see the white stripes and iron-needle-thick mouthparts of each giant mosquito through the viewing glass.
"Quick, go and inform!"
The gathering of such a large number of mosquitoes into such a large-scale mosquito influx is completely an unprecedented catastrophe.
The soldiers ran to the contact room in a panic and reported the situation to the top, and the command that received the message directly ordered the city-wide alarm to be pulled up after calling the monitors at the west gate.
The sleeping people did not understand what the army was doing, and many of them did not even want to pay attention to the inexplicable sharp siren, and turned over in bed and prepared to fall asleep, but the air defense post outside the window kept screaming......
"What the hell!"
Jiang Zhenfei, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, sat up dissatisfied and picked up the phone. Next to him was a woman in silk pajamas with a spring face, it was Li Mei, who had only ended her fourth battle with the fat man an hour earlier. I have to say that this fat man is much stronger than those little milk dog-like men, don't look at him full of fat, but in that regard, he is innovative and full of tricks, that is, he feels a little tired after every time, but Jiang Fat Man can fight more and more bravely.
"Jiang Shao, what's wrong?" Looking at Jiang Fatty's brows, which were getting tighter and tighter, Li Mei gently rubbed his somewhat greasy temples with her hand, and asked in a loud voice.
She believes that with her talent in a certain direction, Jiang Fatzi will definitely know the taste of the marrow, and she can't leave her. It's not that she's overconfident, but the experience she has summed up from many men, according to the ancient saying, it is called natural charm and charm of the world.
"It's not good, hurry up!" Jiang Fat Man thought for a while, and got up and dressed as he spoke, as if he was afraid of being caught.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up, let's withdraw quickly...... Why are those things so ghostly......" Jiang Fat muttered to himself.
Remove? Where to go? What are those haunting things? Although Li Mei was full of suspicion, she wisely chose to remain silent. Through this period of understanding, she knew that this fat man was definitely not as simple and stupid as it seemed.
By the time they walked out of the villa, a dark green off-road military vehicle had stopped outside the villa, and two capable soldiers saluted him, and one of them said:
"Jiang Shao, please!"
This is a special car sent by the General Headquarters, and the first thing is to protect these important people in times of crisis.
At this moment, the General Headquarters of Sioux City has gathered all the middle and high-level officers, and Commander Zhang and Commander Chen, as the highest-ranking people present, quickly issued an order through the General Staff Department after receiving the information about the change in the West Gate and informed the people not to go out behind closed doors, otherwise they will bear the consequences.
According to the surveillance, the giant mosquito should have been mutated by the influence of meteors, but the number was strangely large, and it was not as aimless as the general population, and it seemed to be organized and premeditated to come directly towards Sioux City.
This kind of mosquito is beyond imagination ferocity, a squad patrolling the outer city is the first person to contact the mosquito tide, they tried to shoot at the terrifying mosquito tide, but the effect is obviously not good, those giant mosquitoes are like a huge black mouth, instantly enveloping the fleeing soldiers, and then only see the shriveled corpse on the ground wearing military uniforms, like a mummy weathered in the desert for thousands of years.
Head Zhang slapped his forehead heavily with his hand and closed his eyes in pain.
Flamethrower! Only the flames can deal with these giant mosquitoes.
Soon the heavily armed troops were on the front line, and the soldiers standing at the outermost level were dressed in chemical protective suits, wrapped tightly around their bodies, holding flamethrower guns in their hands and fuel tanks on their backs. All the military fuel in the entire Sioux City was transported by military transport trucks to the West Gate Defense Line of Sioux City.
A wave of black mosquitoes fills the entire field of vision under the night sky, forming a black band from left to right.
The entire area near the west gate was forcibly cut off from power, and a huge LED purple light screen lit up, and the mosquito swarm in confusion near the west gate seemed to find its direction at once, buzzing and flapping its wings towards the light source under the city gate. This is a trapping mosquito lamp made by the military temporarily, but I didn't expect that even if it is several times larger, these mosquitoes still can't change their feces.
Rumble!
The soldiers in front of the light curtain sprayed blazing flames at the incoming mosquito swarm, and countless giant mosquitoes were burned into ashes the moment they touched the tongue of fire, and the heavily armed soldiers were not harmed, but those giant mosquitoes pounced on the light source one after another, and were burned to death by the tongue of fire, and soon the ground was full of the corpses of the giant mosquitoes that were burned into a black sphere.
After a few minutes, the soldiers' oil tanks bottomed out, and they withdrew in an orderly manner, and a second group of soldiers took their place on the battle line.
The corpses of giant mosquitoes on the ground have submerged the ankles of the soldiers, but the overwhelming mosquito influx has not abated.
Out of fuel! The tanker trucks for replenishment are empty.
"Retreat! Withdraw! Withdraw! ”
The commander's order came from the battle line, and the soldiers turned and retreated behind the light source traps, and countless giant mosquitoes pounced on the light curtain, quickly covering the last rays of light.
Burst!
The armored vehicle loaded with a huge flamethrower spewed the last of its rage at the light curtain, burning the mosquito swarm and the light curtain clean.
Black mosquitoes fell from the sky as if it were raining, and some smashed on the roofs of cars as if they were hail.
Amid the crackling sound of fried beans, the military vehicles carrying the retreating soldiers sped towards the second line of defense, but they underestimated the power of these giant mosquitoes.
After being suppressed by the first batch of flames, the black mosquito tide became more violent, and the giant mosquitoes were like bullets, frantically impacting the high-speed moving military vehicles.
The soldiers on the military vehicle felt that they were completely moving in a rain of bullets, the armored vehicles and the heavier trucks were fine, but the green cars carrying people were not, under the crazy impact of the giant mosquitoes, like statues in the flood tide, finally, a green military vehicle was overturned with a piercing brake!
Those vampire-like giant mosquitoes burrowed into the trunk of the green-skinned military vehicle, frantically biting the soldiers inside, the soldiers in chemical protection suits could still struggle for a moment or two, some climbed out of the trunk of the overturned military vehicle, and were attacked by the giant mosquitoes all over the sky outside, the mosquitoes with the length of their thumbs were like maggots on tarsal bones, firmly stuck to the soldiers' bodies, and the chemical protection suits were quickly torn, and those mouthparts as thick as steel needles were inserted into their bodies from every gap, and in the pain of falling into the needle holes, they were instantly sucked into dry corpses, and they didn't even have time to shout, Because once he opened his mouth, the giant mosquito all over his body would find a new lower mouth, and the moment he shouted, it would be like a large, hard stone in his mouth, and then the steel needle would pierce his tongue.
Terror! A terrifying scene was unfolding, the rear military vehicles were all overturned by the mosquito tide, and countless soldiers died in the earth-shattering hum....... No blood donations, no exclamations, only silent death, silent fear!
Like hunting dogs that smell fish, those giant mosquitoes rush to every place where there is light, and fly to every place where there is a sound. The windows of residential buildings, balconies and even every crevice can become a channel for them to spread, and the residents of Xicheng District who have not had time to evacuate are faced with one or two unusually large mosquitoes, and can also use kitchen knives or other tools at home to kill them, but the smell of blood after the death of giant mosquitoes has attracted more giant mosquitoes. These giant mosquitoes, twice the size of the wasps, are like bloody ghosts, attacking targets with their mouthparts as hard as steel needles, and many people are sucked dry of blood the moment they are inserted into vital points (such as the neck and heart) by these two-centimeter steel needle mouthparts.
If the military has an aerial camera, it will definitely be able to find that this black mosquito tide extends from the west gate of Suzhou City to the west of Xishan Island on Taihu Lake, stretching for 16 kilometers, all of which are dense black mosquito tides! Such a massive mosquito is enough to wipe out the entire Sioux City!
Run! Come on!
After learning of the collapse of the West Side Defense Line, the first thoughts of many government officials and dignitaries gathered in the hall outside the headquarters were like this. Judging from the pictures that came back, there was no hope for Su Cheng's troops in the face of such a terrifying mosquito tide, once upon a time, the mosquitoes that humans could slap to death could turn humans into lost dogs who fled in the wilderness, hehe, ironic!
But what's more important than life?
"Commander Zhang, we should organize a retreat in time!" Vice Mayor Li stood up, as the top administrator of this batch who withdrew from the magic capital, he had no feelings for Su City, he originally came here because he was thinking about the safety of Su City, trying to settle down temporarily, but he didn't expect the situation here to be even worse than before the magic capital!
Run, you know how to run! Anyway, you're a stranger wherever you go, but I can't, if I leave, what will happen to the people of Sioux City? Mayor Su Cheng secretly said in his heart, but did not speak.
Commander Zhang looked at Commander Chen, and their strength in Suzhou City was almost half of one person, with about a thousand people each.
"That's right, Commander Chen, your troops happen to be in the east of the city, and they are in charge of organizing the evacuation of most of the personnel to the east of the city! Our troops try to keep the insect tide out of the second front as much as possible! ”
Head Zhang said, but no one knew the bottom of his heart, because he didn't know how big this mosquito tide was and how long it would last. The changes brought about by the meteor shower in the apocalypse, whether it is the magic capital, Sioux City, or the rest of the world, everything unknowable seems to have suddenly appeared, and common sense can no longer be used to measure the vision.
But the best plan at the moment is to evacuate the people in the west of the city, and then concentrate on the second front in the west of the city to cut off the mosquito tide, otherwise the entire Sioux City will fall into the fear of the mosquito tide, and the situation will get out of control at the time, and I don't know how many people will die.
Soon after the plan was finalized, the command issued instructions to the whole city, and the military conveyed the instructions to the residents of the west of the city through loudspeakers in armored vehicles.
"An unknown huge mosquito influx has hit Sioux City, and the military has built a defensive line at Tiger Hill to ensure the safety of the people. Please evacuate to the city outside Tiger Hill as soon as possible! Please don't stay outside the line of defense, please don't stay outside the line of defense! ”
The loudspeakers scrolled through the streets over and over again, and the bewildered citizens of the west of the city, shrouded in a sudden power outage, seemed to recall the strange blood moon change half a month ago......
Doomsday! Back again?
Countless citizens rushed to the residential buildings with their whole families in panic, but as far as the eye could see, the streets without street lights had long been blocked by cars, and the anxious motorists were frantically honking their horns.
The military has blocked the highway, and everyone can only stay on the road, or choose to go to the east of the city on foot!
The entire city of Sioux City had a population of about 10 million, and there were at least two or three million people evacuated to the west of the city. Of course, there are also bold people who don't believe in evil and don't think that mosquitoes can be powerful, but when they see the black tide of giant mosquitoes, which is even more terrifying than the locust plague, it is too late, and those giant mosquitoes crash like bullets into the glass windows of their homes lit with candles.
Two or three million people, old and young, sick, disabled, women and children, pushed and shoved through the dark streets, and although they did not see any movement behind them, the atmosphere of terror had spread, and the fear that had been enveloped by the end of the world had intensified, and everyone became impatient and furious, for fear that they would become innocent victims if they were one step later.
The already small number of troops was no longer able to maintain a large retreat in order to deploy in the second line of defense. The sheer and haphazard retreat also led to extremely low efficiency, and an hour passed, and the long queue did not even make it out of a single main road.
Soon, a strange movement from the rear detonated the entire crowd.
It's a mosquito wave! Here it comes! The black mosquitoes were like life-harvesting machines, and the crowd at the back of the street was attacked by them, and soon the streets were littered with dried corpses. The people in the middle witnessed this horrific scene, screaming and squeezing forward desperately, the crowd pushing the crowd, the fear contagious, and the order completely collapsing.
The crowd on the main road pushed each other, and some young children and weak people were pushed directly to the ground, but the people who fled for their lives did not stop because of this, and in the fear of death, they directly stepped on the ground and fled forward. A serious stampede took place, and those who had the misfortune of falling to the ground were trampled by one individual in a crowd filled with various cries and shouts, and finally trampled to a bloody blur.
But when those who ran at the front squeezed out of the main road, they found that the people on the other road were also storming the main road, and there were people everywhere, and there were cries and shouts everywhere, and the noisy and chaotic crowd woke up the whole west of the city. When people outside of Tiger Hill discovered this anomaly, they soon learned about the horror that had happened at the West City Gate.
Mosquito tide! A wave of insects that made half of the residents in the west of the city flee in the wilderness, and when I looked through binoculars from the high-rise buildings, the streets outside Tiger Hill were full of human heads, and the panicked faces were fleeing to Tiger Hill in a hurry.
And on the bank of the river in Tiger Hill, the second line of defense jointly defended by the Demon Capital and the defenders of Sioux City has also been arranged, and almost all the fuel reserves of Sioux City have been used here.
Insecurity!
The first impression of Tiger Hill residents who observed these images was that it was unsafe, and soon some people began to retreat in advance, but soon they found that the gas station was completely out of gas. Just as their panic intensified, running, running, the inhabitants of Tiger Hill began to evacuate towards the east of the city, and it would be even more difficult to move if they were rushed by the people from the west gate later......
In the middle of the night, this strange migration army quickly attracted the attention of people from other places, and after making inquiries, they soon learned what was happening, and the military called in the city's oil reserves to kill the mosquito tide!
People have a herd mentality, and when they see others running again, they will naturally feel uneasy, so the atmosphere of escape is getting stronger and stronger, and the team of escapers is getting stronger and stronger.
After receiving the information, the first reaction of these three or four thousand people was to leave Sioux City quickly. This led to a retreat to the outskirts of other cities, mainly to the south and north, and no one would choose to go east, as the east was only next to the Magic Capital.
At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the western sky was still the black tide band that could not be seen. Sioux City, a city of 10 million people, began a massive transfer overnight, and the successive terrorist incidents had caused them to lose confidence in the army and the government.
Sioux City is collapsing! The people of Suzhou City themselves were in chaos first, but the army had no choice, because the garrison of Suzhou City and the two sides of the Demon Capital together were less than 3,000 people, and they were really powerless in the face of 10 million people.
