Chapter 174: Don't Underestimate Human Wisdom (Second Update)
When he heard the news that Bloody Mary was in Busan, Lin Feng had just woken up.
Today is the time for the Kuroshio to storm the city, and in order for the troops to maintain the best combat condition, the military last night tried to let the main personnel participating in the battle get the best rest, and early in the morning, they were not required to get up regularly, giving them enough time to rest.
Lin Feng originally wanted to sleep a little more, probably due to the impact of exchanging blood with Liu Mei, he fell asleep at half past eleven last night, and woke up full of energy at about half past seven in the morning.
After taking care of personal housekeeping, it was time to start breakfast, when the military came the news that Bloody Mary had appeared in Busan.
Since time was running out, Lin Feng was eating breakfast while watching the live pictures from the Koreans on the Guò military channel.
At that time, there were many people in the private room like Lin Feng, watching the scene while eating. After Bloody Mary's random big move, all the humans in the one-kilometer-diameter building were turned into apple juice and apple puree, which made many people who were eating breakfast in front of the screen lose their appetite for eating.
Lin Feng was one of the few people who could continue to eat unharmed.
Although he was mentally disgusted by the scene of red juice everywhere, as a master of sensory control, he could regulate his appetite lightly without being affected too much.
At the scene of the massacre, only the mother and daughter, who were closest to Bloody Mary, were lucky to survive, but both were terrified. After Bloody Mary left, the South Korean military found the mother and daughter, who were on the verge of a mental breakdown, but the witnesses, who were frightened by the tragic scene at the scene, could not ask anything at the time.
Bloody Mary's bizarre move in Busan. For those who study the abyss, the habitual meaning is heavy. However, for the military of Tianhe City, which will bear the impact of the Kuroshio in two or three hours, they are no longer in the mood to study this topic.
Although Lin Feng is very concerned about the situation of his "cheap mother-in-law". But now it is clear that dealing with the Kuroshio crisis is more important than the situation of the mother-in-law. Commander Ouyang Hua, who had just woken up, was also in no mood to study Bloody Mary's strange behavior in Busan at this time.
After paying a little attention to the information coming from Busan. The military quickly turned its attention to the approaching Kuroshio of the Awoken.
The total number of this wave of approaching awakened black tide is about thirty thousand, as for the number of awakened people above level four in this wave of black tide, Lin Feng counted it with passive perception after nine o'clock. The number is between five hundred and six hundred, and the number of awakened people at the fifth level is even more than ten.
Although the octopus man will die soon, at most a week, the octopus man who manipulates the Kuroshio Tide will automatically die, but this week is the hardest. Every day that passes. The number of Level 4 and Level 5 Awakened in the Kuroshio will increase, and the later the Kuroshio arrives, the more Level 4 Awakened people it contains, and the more difficult it will be to deal with.
The Kuroshio Current, while terrifying, is not invincible.
In the Stone Age, there were countless beasts competing with humans for the position of world supremacy. Lions, bears, tigers, leopards, elephants, and even wolves are far superior to humans in individual combat.
But the last laugh is still the seemingly fragile human being.
Human beings can become the spirit of all things. Strength is only a very small part, more is intelligence, and their ability to make and use tools.
Wisdom is the strongest and strongest weapon of humanity, even if it is the awakened mutant of humanity facing itself. In the face of the strongest extinction crisis in history, human beings have relied on their own wisdom to carve out a life in a thorn little by little.
Compared to fragile humans. The seemingly powerful awakened person has the biggest weakness is. They don't even have the intelligence of a five-year-old. Some seemingly rudimentary traps can play these creatures that have lost their memories and selves around.
Tianhe City serves as the last bastion in the Northeast against the Awakened. Since the outbreak of the Awakened crisis, the military has spent nearly three months frantically carrying out civil engineering here.
Compared with three months ago, before the outbreak of the Awakened disaster, the terrain on the outskirts of Tianhe City can already be described beyond recognition.
Over the past three months, more than 500 excavators have been working day and night in a row to dig and dig and dig again.
It took three months to dig a huge moat around the entire Tianhe City, up to 20 meters wide, and then this moat communicated with the nearby river water network, in order to increase the amount of water storage, and even cause seawater to pour in, even if it caused the salinization of nearby land in the future. Only a few bridges and passages remain on this moat to connect it to the outside world.
This kind of defense line full of cold weapons seems primitive, but it has proven to be very useful in resisting the onslaught of the Awakened Kuroshio. Over the past week, many human strongholds along the Yangtze River in southern China have used similar methods to successfully withstand the onslaught of multiple waves of the Awakened Kuroshio.
Before the crisis of the awakened, although China had 1.4 billion people, it was the most populous country in the world, and it was also the country with the largest number of awakened people and the largest density. But China is also a country with the strongest construction machinery capabilities.
The Awakened crisis was preceded by a golden period of real estate boom and construction everywhere in China. Each city has a large number of real estate developers under construction, with a large number of construction equipment such as digging machines. With the concentration of projects in one province, centralized construction, and continuous construction by collective efforts, it only takes one or two months for the terrain of the entire periphery of the city to be transformed beyond recognition.
After forcibly digging a belt-like moat around the core cities with countless construction machinery, the soil from Hori was also used for another purpose.
Thousands of tons of dirt were cleverly piled up about two kilometers from the moat, close to the outside of the city. These dirt are not piled up randomly, but deliberately piled up huge earth mountains, several of which form a bell mouth terrain with large entrances and small exits. As soon as the entrances of the Awakened Kuroshio Pass Guò approached the city, they would be limited by this artificial terrain and would crowd into this mass at the exit, so that the artillery positions on the opposite side could achieve a greater lethal effect with fewer shells.
This primitive and simple means of defense, although very crude, is extremely effective in actual combat. Although China is one of the countries with the largest number of awakened people in the world, when faced with the impact of the Kuroshio, most of the cities capable of large-scale earthwork have resorted to guò, a seemingly primitive method, which has effectively resisted the impact of the Kuroshio Current, killing and injuring countless awakened people in large numbers.
In contrast, those countries in Europe and the United States are more tragic. Their scientific and technological strength may be better than China's, and there is no shortage of guns and artillery, but the most inferior to China is that before the disaster, there was no China's world's first engineering infrastructure capacity, and after the disaster, they could not find enough engineering excavators for a while, and they could not directly transform the city into an ancient defensive terrain through large-scale earthwork like China.
In many cases, wisdom and creativity are far more important than strength.
After the Kuroshio crisis erupted, a joke circulated in various surviving cities in China.
"Which one is stronger to save the world, Shandong is looking for Lanxiang in China!"
After nine o'clock, Lin Feng led his half-awakened troops, and they had already arrived at the defense line of the outermost ring of the city, watching the moat outside the city.
The biggest difference between the Northeast and the South is that the temperature here is too low, and the river water can easily freeze. In order to ensure that the river water was not frozen, the military poured a large amount of river water into the moat and put a large amount of salt.
The water in the moat is not deep, only two and a half meters deep, the bottom of the river is not strong, and it is deliberately shaved loose before being flooded, thus creating a large amount of soft silt.
The water depth of two and a half meters is a big trap in itself, and once the Level 4 Awakened rush to the river, when they want to force themselves to cross the river, the poor silt environment will make it difficult for them to move forward.
No matter how strong a creature is, it must adapt to the natural laws of the world, even if it is as agile as a tiger man, if it is not strong enough to give them strength, it will not be as fast as in the mud. And the Awakened without speed is the best living target for human steel weapons.
Now, Ouyang Hua has handed over his most elite four-and-a-half awakened troops to Lin Feng to lead and command.
Including Wang Xiu, a fifth-level tiger girl, the number of fourth-level semi-awakened people that Lin Feng could mobilize was twenty-four.
His task is very simple, where there is a crisis on the Tianhe defense line, he led this semi-awakened army to rush over as soon as possible, fill the "hole" and be responsible for fighting the fire.
This ring moat was basically built next to the ring road, and in a small number of areas where there was no ring road, the military even demolished some buildings blocking the road and temporarily opened the road, so as to facilitate Lin Feng's fire brigade to transfer positions on the inner line.
This ring road used for transporting troops, the road is now empty, and every 300 meters on the side of the road, there is a large vacant truck parked, which is an untimely need for the destruction of vehicles transporting semi-awakened people when the battle is tight, and to ensure that when the car is needed, the vehicle can be found at any time.
In total, there were four main divisions, with an army of more than fifty thousand men, which were placed behind the moat line. If the Awoken dares to approach the defensive line, countless metal storms will drown them.
Humanity at present is strong and weak relative to the Awakened.
Powerful because of the technological weapons in the hands of human beings, as long as they can hit the opponent, even if it is a fourth-level awakened or fifth-level awakened person, an armor-piercing bullet can break its bones.
Weakness is the fact that ordinary people are worthless in the face of the awakened in hand-to-hand combat.
But in the past thousands of years, human beings have never relied on their own brains and wisdom to become the rulers of the earth. (To be continued......)
