Section 16 Hesitation

At the same time, the Black Pig King strode forward, grabbed Kimura's collar, and lifted it up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info then pulled closer, stared at the other party's eyes, the tip of his nose against the tip of his nose, and said in a deep voice: "Sakata's cub, next time it won't be so simple." ”

Looking at the big bucket-like face in front of him, a cruel smile gradually emerged, and a muffled thunderous sound came from his ears, Kimura Taii felt that Venus was in his eyes, his head was buzzing, and he almost fainted.

"Get out!" After saying that, the black pig shouted violently, and suddenly frightened Kimura Tai's whole body, and then pushed forward, throwing it to the ground.

After teaching Kimura Taiichi, everyone was about to leave, but at this moment, a thick and loud flute suddenly sounded in the sky.

"Woo......"

The sound of the flute was so penetrating that it seemed to come from a distant place, and instantly drowned out the screams in the mining area. Everyone looked up, and saw that in the fierce sunlight, a small shadow was slowly moving in the pale red clouds. It is not difficult to hear that the sound of the flute is coming from the shadows.

"Air raid siren!" Kimura sat on the ground, looked up at the sky, and cried out in a lost voice.

Although Iron Slag and Black Pig King and the others didn't know the meaning of the flute, they quickly judged from Kimura's expression and words that something big was about to happen. Then he took three steps and made two steps, and ran to the jeep.

As soon as he started the car, Kimura Taiichi jumped up from the ground, spread his hands, and blocked in front of the car.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The Black Pig King stood up and scolded.

"Take us!" Kimura shouted loudly, but when he saw the black pig king's hideous face, he quickly changed his words and said, "Miner...... The miners are innocent! ”

"What's the matter with us, drive!" With the roar of the Black Pig King, the driver stepped on the accelerator hard, the engine roared, the wheels spun rapidly, rolled up a large amount of sand and threw it backwards, and crashed into Kimura Taiyi, who was in the way.

The latter screamed and threw himself to the side, and the body whizzed by, spraying his head and face with red dirt.

The distance of more than ten kilometers was reached in a blink of an eye, and as soon as the car drove into the gate of the fortress, Zhao Wenke ran over, shouting as he ran: "The insect tide is coming soon, hurry back to the command center to discuss." At this moment, he was fully armed, put on his power armor, and had his weapon on his back.

"What is a bug tide?" Iron Slag asked.

"Talk as you go......" Zhao Wenke couldn't help but pull up the arm of the iron slag and walked towards the main fortress in the middle of the fortress. Along the way, Zhao Wenke briefly explained the situation.

The so-called insect tide is the large-scale migration of wild insect swarms in the No. 5 desert. Because wild insect colonies lack the restraint of posterior insects, they only feed and reproduce according to instinct, so the numbers can easily get out of control. When this amount reaches the limit of what the environment can bear, the vegetation within the habitat is eaten up.

In order to survive, they can only migrate. However, in the process of migration, they can upset the balance of other habitats. Local insect colonies will also join the migration due to the depletion of food. In this way, the swarm will snowball, getting bigger and bigger. Eventually, a huge wave was formed, like a swarm of locusts, and everywhere it went, not a single grass grew.

Fortunately, there are only the lowest-level soldier insects in the insect tide, which are four kinds of worms, namely frogs, flyings, stinging insects, and thorns, and there are no generals or descendants responsible for commanding them behind them, so they can only act according to instinct. The insect tide will also disperse and die in the constant movement, and eventually disappear into the vast red Gobi Desert.

However, before that, the devastating power of the insect tide was firmly engraved in the memory of mankind. Zhao Wenke only said the number, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

"According to the news from the Wind Sand Castle just now, the number of insect tides this time is ......," Zhao Wenke stretched out three fingers and said, "At least three hundred billion." ”

"That'...... How do you keep ...... then?" after being shocked, Iron Slag couldn't help but ask.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, because they don't actively attack humans, it's like a flood, and it's good to get past it." Zhao Wenke comforted, but the tension and worry between his eyebrows did not let go at all. Later, he added, "Insect waves occur on average every five to six years, which is not uncommon. ”

A few minutes later, the two took the elevator to the command center on the fifth floor, where Hagrid was clasping his hands on his chest and frowning at the simulated sand table in front of him.

On the sand table, red points of light slowly poured towards the blue squares like an overwhelming fog. These blue squares represent the fortress of humanity.

"Oh my God......" This was the first thing Hagrid said when he saw Iron Slag and Zhao Wenke.

Three billion bugs, what kind of concept is this? Even if you imagine it, it is difficult to form an image in your mind.

All three of them stared blankly at the red mist on the simulated sand table, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive. I don't know how long later, Lilith's voice suddenly came from the iron slag walkie-talkie.

"Boss, people from the mining area of Bantian Industry and Sequoia Company are here and ask for our protection."

"Don't let them in! Those miscellaneous pieces, let's kill one Lao Tzu! Lilith's hurried voice was mixed with the roar of the Black Pig King.

"Let them go!" "Open the door!" The two Noses spoke at the same time, but their intentions were completely opposite.

Iron Slag and Hagrid looked at each other, but neither spoke.

In the view of Iron Slag, these are extraordinary times, and if some unidentified people are allowed in, problems will arise at any time, causing unimaginable consequences. But in Hagrid's opinion, the miners are innocent, and in the face of the swarm, humanity should be more united. Also, abandoning one's own kind in danger is not in line with the teachings of the Temple of Glory.

"What do you think?" After a short silence, Tie Slag looked at Zhao Wenke.

"I think ......" Zhao Wenke thought for a while, looked at Hagrid and said, "They shouldn't be let in, if there are people with bad intentions among them, if they make some small moves when the insect tide passes by, we will die without a place to be buried, and the entire Chifeng Fortress will be buried together." ”

"I disagree!" Hagrid's eyes widened and he said loudly.

"I'm up to the cracks here." Iron Slag narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Hagrid looked at him, and after a long while, finally sighed, and said, "Well, it's all up to you, but I have a request...... Hagrid paused, and said, "You stand on the wall and take a look, and after you've seen it, if you still don't think you should let them in, then listen to you." ”

"Okay." After the iron slag finished speaking, he turned around and left.

But as soon as he got out of the command center, before he got on the elevator, Zhao Wenke chased him out and said in a low voice: "Don't go and see." ”

"Don't worry, I won't change my mind." Iron Slag said.

"Then it's even less necessary." Zhao Wenke said.

"But I've promised him." Iron Slag said again.

"Those who achieve great things should not be stuck in small sections." Zhao Wenke persuaded.

"What's the matter?" Iron Slag asked rhetorically.

"Alas...... Go, go, go......" Zhao Wenke raised his hand and sighed.

A moment later, the two of them walked up to the wall, only to see the Black Pig King scolding downwards, while Lilith was pulling him anxiously.

Looking down, hundreds of miners were crowded in front of the gates of the fortress. They were dressed in dark gray miners' uniforms, men and women, old and young, with panic on their faces. Some women and children hugged each other and cried.

Seeing such a scene, Iron Slag couldn't help frowning. Sequoia Corporation and Sakata Industrial are also shameless enough, and when they encounter a disaster, they will push the burden over.

"Let's go, let's go! Let your boss take charge of your safety, and don't drag us down. The Black Pig King scolded and roared,

"Please, open the door......" "The bugs are coming." "Uncle Hei, we have nowhere to go, save us." "It's a master, you just let the woman and the child in!" "Are you still human!" "Let us in, the bugs are coming!" There was a lot of noise below, some were pleading, some were cursing, some were crying.

"What do you think?" After looking at it for a while, Tie Slag turned his head and asked in front of Zhao Wenke.

The person touched his forehead and said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you not to look at it?" ”

"But I saw it." Iron slag is also full of unhappiness.

"Our food reserves may not be able to support it for a long time." Zhao Wenke lowered his face and said.

"And then?" Iron Slag asked.

"The increase in the number of personnel will increase exponentially the likelihood that the swarm will attack us." Zhao Wenke analyzed.

"What about the benefits?" Iron Slag asked again.

"The only good thing is that our reputation may be better, but it's just a little better...... "Zhao Wenke spread his hands out, "it doesn't mean anything." ”

Then, Iron Slag called the Black Pig King and Lilith over and asked what they thought.

"I don't know." The Black Pig King replied crisply.

"Boss, I think they're pitiful, let's let them in, okay, please......" Lilith begged, shaking her iron slag arm.

Iron Slag rubbed his eyebrows, only to feel a headache. If they were allowed in, it would be a huge burden on the fortress, and it is likely that Sequoia and Sakata Industrial had planted secret sentinels among the miners, which could cause devastating damage if they were not careful. But not letting them in is really unbearable.

In the confusion, a voice sounded from the heart.

"Try not to kill when you don't have to, because every life is valuable."

"But when necessary, you must not be soft-hearted, for mercy to your enemies is cruelty to yourself."

"Our purpose is to live, so ......"

"If there is a direct threat to our lives, it is when it is necessary, but if there is no direct threat to our lives......"

"That's when it wasn't necessary."

Thinking of this, Iron Slag waved his hand and gave an order.

"Open the door."

"Yes, Boss!" The Black Pig King and Lilith replied in unison, their eyes brightening.
