Chapter 165: The Black Tide Descends!!
After a small and terrible battle, the town of Herb finally regained its calm, and the terrified survivors began to extinguish the fire in the town, burying the mutilated bodies of the dead, and cries echoed throughout the town. Bai Ling walked with the survivors on a ruined street, but saw Wang Wenqing raising his saber high and slashing at the corpse of the giant insect, searching for traces of the power stone.
"Bell !!"
Wang Wenqing used the soul steel saber to split the shell of the giant insect, and after examining it, he shook his head. These materials used to be treasured by himself, but Wang Wenqing no longer looked down on the benefits brought to him by ordinary giant insects, and now, what he pursued was more advanced materials. Wang Wenqing put away the soul steel saber and shouted at the broken iron and broken ice:
"Hey, boy, eat yourselves, I don't need these guys. It's such a big person, I don't need to take it off a little bit and feed it to you, right? β
As if he could understand Wang Wenqing's words, Broken Iron immediately pounced, grabbed his brain and ate it first, and Broken Ice also squeezed it, and the two young emperor worms squeezed on the head of the soul blood giant worm and gnawed greedily, just like the two puppies domesticated by Wang Wenqing. But now, the size of "Broken Iron" is the size of an adult bull, and it is more and more like an adult giant worm, because Wang Wenqing always spoils it and feeds it a lot of food with rich potential, so its carapace is far more beautiful than its mother, and the turquoise blue ripples crisscross its carapace, which is extremely hard. Such a huge and terrifying pet, only Wang Wenqing dared to domesticate it, and Broken Iron seemed to be extremely obedient to Wang Wenqing, and never showed his intention to hurt Wang Wenqing, which also made Wang Wenqing feel very pleased.
"Is this your pet? I've never seen anyone pet a giant worm, you're such a strange person. You don't raise them out of love, right? β
Just as Wang Wenqing was sitting on a piece of concrete and watching the two young emperor insects eat, a girl's voice suddenly sounded behind Wang Wenqing. Wang Wenqing turned his head and saw a girl dressed in white walking over with a medicine box and sitting down next to Wang Wenqing. Looking at this unfamiliar girl, Wang Wenqing stood up vigilantly and said in a deep voice:
"Who are you?"
"My name is Ye Wanqing, I am the mayor of Herbal Medicine Town, and I have lived here since I was a child. However, it was the first time that he was attacked by a giant insect. I've always thought that Herb Town is the best proof that bugs and humans can live in harmony, but now it seems that I am still too naΓ―ve......"
Ye Wanqing showed a sad expression, smiled miserably, and looked into the depths of the town. Houses are burning, and smoke is rising into the sky. Wang Wenqing snorted lightly, shook his head and said:
"It's a luxury for bugs and humans to live in peace. Bugs are bugs, humans are humans, and both sides are thinking about how to destroy the other, so peace is absolutely unrealistic. In this war, either we destroy them, or they destroy us, only one side can win, this is a doomed end. β
Ye Wanqing smiled silently, and after a long time, she suddenly spoke:
"Just now, thank you for saving me. You're so handsome, you fell from the sky like a big hero, and suddenly you cleaned up those monsters, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to sit here and continue to breathe fresh air right now. - By the way, what are you here for? Do any of you have been injured and need to be healed? β
"We've got thousands of people poisoned, that's why we're here. Our people have been poisoned in food and plotted to need ambergris to save their lives, I hope that there is still a reserve of ambergris in Herb Town, otherwise, our people may not survive tonight, thousands of people will die, this train will change from a refuge train to a hearse ......"
Wang Wenqing pointed to the lifeless train on the railroad tracks in the distance and said in a deep voice. Seeing this, Ye Wanqing pondered for a long time, and said with a helpless wry smile:
"There has always been no shortage of ambergris in the herbal medicine town, and its output is extremely high, so we also have a large number of reserves in the warehouse of the herbal medicine town, which is used to sell to all parts of China to detoxify the patients who have been poisoned by the worm. However, now, all these medicinal herbs have been destroyed by the invading insect tide in the forest......"
As she spoke, Ye Wanqing pointed to the burning town, as well as the billowing smoke and flames rising from the forest. Bai Ling also walked up to Ye Wanqing, frowned and asked:
"Mayor Ye, how could this be, how could Herb Town be attacked by the insect tide. I've heard that this is a peaceful place, and that giant insects never kill people here, and that even your inhabitants go deep into the forest to collect medicine without being attacked by giant insects. Why, all of a sudden, it's like this? β
Ye Wanqing smiled bitterly, shook her head heavily, and said:
"I don't know, but since a few days ago, the astronomical telescope built by our herb town observed the advance of the Kuroshio in the south, and then the giant insects in the forest suddenly became berserk, and began to leave the forest in large numbers and advance to the north in large numbers. Our herb town has never been attacked, but just a few days ago we were attacked for the first time in twenty years, and within a few days, we had already been attacked by several waves of insects, and most of the town was in flames, all the soldiers were dead, the inhabitants were also killed and wounded, and the warehouses and houses were destroyed by giant insects, if you hadn't come to our rescue...... Herb Town will be completely wiped out from the face of the earth by giant worms today. β
Hearing this, Bai Ling and Ling Xue'er looked at each other. After a moment of silence, Ling Xue'er said in a cold voice:
"This means that the speed of Kuroshio's advance has accelerated, and the giant insects here have also sensed their summoning and have begun to advance north. Most of the survivor strongholds in China are in the north, the seven towns in the north, Changshan City is the first to bear the brunt, if this large number of insect tides reach the north, Changshan City will also face a siege, it will be an unprecedented bloody and cruel siege, if we don't rush to Changshan City before the siege, we will be trapped on the railroad tracks forever......"
"Not forever, in less than a month, we'll starve to death, everyone. How far is the Kuroshio Current, and can your telescopes detect the values? Wang Wenqing looked to the south and said.
"It's less than 200 kilometers. The day before yesterday, there were still 500 kilometers, and they advanced 300 kilometers in one day, not only in our east, but also in southern China was attacked by the Kuroshio, and the entire south has been surrounded by the Kuroshio, including here, Steel City, Gusu City, Jinling City, should be besieged. As for the oil town, I heard that it had fallen long ago, and the dam was destroyed, so I don't know if the survivors escaped. Ye Wanqing opened a map and pointed to several places on the map and said.
Hearing this, Wang Wenqing slowly clenched his fists. Finally, this day has finally come, the Black Tide has besieged Steel City, but he just divided his troops at this time Wenqing City, Steel City, can he still survive? The steel barrier built by Cui Yu is enough to resist thousands of soul blood giant insects, and the food in the city can last for three years, but if it encounters the air attack of the flying insect swarm that he has encountered before, it will be difficult for the steel city to protect itself. Besides, there are dragon blood monsters and even divine blood monsters on top of the soul blood giant worms, and those monsters are like giant beasts in the ancient era, covering the sky and the sun, and the power is endless, just like the giant insect that he once witnessed in a broken point of the frost volcano, huge and terrifying. If you really face a monster of that level, Steel City, can you really be safe and sound?
Thinking of this, Wang Wenqing was already sweating, slowly raised his head, and said in a lost voice:
"It looks like we're running out of time, the speed of Kuroshio's advance has accelerated, and we must rush to the Northern Laboratory as soon as possible, otherwise...... It's too late! (To be continued.) )
