Chapter 188: The Purpose of Becoming the Head of the Group
Hearing Zhang Jie's inquiry, the soldier sitting in the passenger seat smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, we thought it was just a few giant locusts, but when we got to the back, we realized that their huge number was amazing, just like a flood of locusts, appearing all over the suburbs of Colombo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow the rest of the world has compared this locust plague to the Sendai sea monster in Japan. ”
This soldier is in his early forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, some dark skin, and a bit of majesty on his national face, and he doesn't look like an ordinary soldier.
"It's so serious!" Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. Before, his eyes could only see the vicinity, and the most giant locusts he saw were only a dozen or so, but he didn't expect that the number of locusts would be so large, and they all formed an extremely harmful locust plague.
The soldier chimed in: "Ceylon is an island, and there have only been small locust swells before, so I have no experience. What's more, they are not ordinary locusts the thickness of a thumb, but giant locusts three or four meters long, and the army can't cope with them. If I hadn't known you were here this time, the helicopter wouldn't have been sent. ”
Zhang Jie understood the potential meaning of this person's words as soon as he heard it, and thanked him with a smile: "I will remember your help, and if you need help, you can come to me." ”
The soldier had a hearty smile on his face and handed over a business card: "My name is Cheng Xi, and I am the commander of the 10th Division in Colombo. ”
"Commander Cheng, don't you have a military mission now? The giant locusts down there look like they're about to spread. Zhang Jie was a little surprised, he didn't expect a regiment leader to come to pick him up in person, this favor is not small.
On the way through the helicopter, he actually saw an endless stream of giant locusts, two or three popping out of the fields, woods, and grass from time to time, and even on the road, they could be seen chasing cars.
The dull sound of machine guns and shell explosions crossed a distance of several hundred meters and reached Zhang Jie's ears.
Under the attack of powerful weapons invented by humans, the giant locusts of astonishing size were easily torn to pieces like rag dolls. However, some locusts have rushed into the line and harvested life with a pair of sickle-shaped front paws.
Not many of these were able to break through the defensive line, but the casualties caused were very few, and the vast majority of the casualties of the soldiers were caused by them.
Of course, the soldiers sitting in the armored car helicopter were fine, but the infantry suffered and needed to face the giant locusts.
"How so? If there is no army, civilians will suffer heavy casualties when they encounter locusts! I don't know what my family is up to? As a Ceylonese, Xie Jiawei was worried about his family when he saw the fierce battlefield below.
When the other members of the Magical Guardians heard this, their faces also showed concern, and they were very reluctant to return home immediately. If it weren't for the helicopter now, they would have run back long ago.
The helicopter flew over the suburbs and into the edge of Colombo city. From here, there weren't many giant locusts, but the streets were lined with police cars that were on the highest alert.
Zhang Ju said: "Captain Cheng, let us go down here, and then we will go back by ourselves." ”
"I don't have to send you to the Magic Energy Company? I've heard that there are hundreds of pistols out there, which should be able to repel these big bugs. Cheng Xi asked.
Zhang Ju pointed at Xie Jiawei, Fan Jianwen and the others, and said, "No need, these people can't wait to go home immediately and protect their families, such wishes will naturally be satisfied, and nothing is more important than family." ”
"That's right." Cheng Xi nodded and ordered the pilot to land the helicopter on an open ground.
Xie Jiawei just got off the plane, and his footsteps were not completely stable, and he immediately said, "Boss, I want to go home and have a look." "There weren't too many giant locusts in Colombo, but he hadn't forgotten the creatures that had mutated sizes.
Without the suppression of the police and soldiers, the mutant creatures who are usually honest will probably take advantage of this time to pop up everywhere and attack humans.
Xie Jiawei, Fan Jianwen and other members of the Demon Energy Guard had been hunting for several days, and they knew that these monsters were essentially attacking people, and they had no doubt about this.
Zhang Ju nodded and said, "Go ahead, be careful, your mana consumption is very large." ”
"Thank you, boss."
It didn't take long for everyone to disperse, except for Yang Qing, who was from China, who remained with Zhang Jie, and there was no one else.
Zhang Ju sighed and said, "The country is weak and weak, and the Japanese country that was attacked by sea monsters is much better than Ceylon. I remember that it only took a short time for the Japanese to destroy the sea monster. ”
"This seems to be a bit unfair, Ceylon does not have the help of the American military." Yang Qing shook his head slightly, not quite approving.
The two waited on the side of the road for a long time, but they couldn't get into a taxi. The empty taxi driver saw them waving, but did not stop, but quickly left.
Not only that, but even ordinary cars are rare, and the citizens of Colombo seem to be frightened and hide in their homes and dare not come out. In the past, there was always a constant stream of traffic on the highway, and the road was blocked from time to time, but now the road is very smooth.
They also had a car, but they landed in a suburban road rest area. At that time, there were helicopters to do it, and naturally no one wanted to risk the threat of giant locusts and drive the car back.
After eating four or five closed doors in a row, Zhang Jie was a little annoyed: "These drivers don't make any money? It's so strange that I didn't see a lot of giant locusts in the city. ”
"Boss, if it were those of us who had cultivated the Immortal Cultivation Technique, we would naturally not be too worried about locusts, but ordinary people would be difficult to deal with, so our first reaction would naturally be to hurry home." Yang Qing said as if he had seen through the taxi driver's thoughts.
Zhang Ju turned his head and glanced around, walked more than fifty meters, came to a bicycle, and said with a smile: "I haven't ridden a bicycle for a long time, I remember riding it to school every day when I was in elementary school." ”
There was a chain lock hanging on the rear wheel of the bicycle, which was no tougher than the hemp rope in front of Zhang Jie, and was violently torn off.
The two rode two or three kilometers one after the other, and when they were about to approach the magic energy company, they heard a cry for help: "Help!" Help me! ”
A girl in a red dress ran out of an alley on the right, followed by a calf-sized, drooling husky chasing her. It's just that the big dog has a wound on its back, bleeding non-stop, and its speed is much slower, otherwise it would have caught up with the girl in front of him.
"Help me! Two big brothers, save me. When the girl saw Zhang Ju and Yang Qing, she seemed to see a savior, and immediately ran towards this side.
Zhang Ju glanced at the girl and said to Yang Qing, "You go." (To be continued.) )
