Chapter 22: War is Coming!

The Talisman has a limited attack range.

The closer you get to the boundary, the less powerful it becomes.

Yan Jing chose to release it at a high altitude in order to reduce the strength of these firebirds.

Not surprisingly, the trees that had been hit by firebirds one after another as targets were quickly set on fire.

Instead of a Flamingo Talisman that exploded with all its might, this blow was enough to ignite a large area of the surrounding forest, but Yan Jing's deliberate suppression caused it to only ignite the canopy, creating the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of trees caused by high temperatures and accidents.

At first, it was only a small area of burning, but the summer heat and the sudden winds in the mountains quickly fueled the fire.

For a while, the flames burst out.

"If the nest is in this area, in order not to attract attention, it will definitely keep the surrounding environment as normal as possible, and they will maintain the natural growth of plants and animals...... If left unchecked, wildfires will not only attract attention from the outside world, but will also affect their natural protective layer, and you want to test them in this way? ”

Noticing Yan Jing's behavior, Miao Yingshi immediately sensed the former's thoughts and asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, pay attention to the burning areas of the jungle, no matter how well the insect nests are hidden, as long as they come out to stop the spread of the fire, whether it is in the sky or underground or anywhere else, they can't show their feet."

Yan Jing was originally going to call for artillery support directly, after all, he had already determined that the worm nest was nearby, which was the simplest and most brutal method.

In order to solve the insect nest, the Special Affairs Bureau gave him a lot of authority, as long as he opened his mouth, the warships docked on the Luofeng River would immediately lock here.

However, what he saw and heard at the Lijun Cliff that night made him realize that the insect girl he faced this time was by no means comparable to the mother worm he had fought before.

It's never a good idea to use the experience of the latter to deal with the bug girl.

The other party has been imprisoned in the seal for an unknown number of years, and it has never been difficult for it to be dormant.

The word "nearby" alone wasn't enough, Yan Jing had to make sure the hive was here!

As Di Jun said, If you can't kill with one hit, it's only a matter of time before the swarm comes back, and whether there will be a new worm brain for the Secret Service Bureau to use for synaesthesia next time is another matter.

Yan Jing was still quite concerned about the "Heart of the Swarm" mission, and he didn't want to be greedy for a moment of pleasure and eventually lead to the failure of the mission.

As time passed, the fire grew and soon ignited the entire canopy, and because of the entanglement of the branches of the canopy, the flames spread smoothly.

Standing at the top of the valley and looking down, the jungle below looks like a giant landscape painting, but now it is dipped in a drop of orange-red paint, constantly rendering and spreading to the surrounding area.

Miao Yingshi held the binoculars, magnified the scene he saw, and always kept it in the area where the flames were most vigorous, and after a while, he spoke,

"There you are, look at the forest ground!"

Receiving the prompt, Yan Jing immediately took out the telescope he had temporarily purchased from the Torch Bazaar.

Although he didn't have the extraordinary ability in Miao Yingshi's hand, it was not a problem for him to see the situation on the jungle ground hundreds of meters away.

Between the woodlands, which were still shrouded in mist, black-gray "air masses" rose from the soil, and they spiraled upward, as if guided by some kind of guidance, to the burning canopy.

As soon as the two sides touched, there was a 'beep~' sound similar to popcorn, and then a cloud of yellow-green gas dispersed, easily extinguishing all the flames.

Hu Ying turned his head to look at Yan Jing and roared in a muffled voice, Miao Yingshi on the side then spoke,

"These black fogs are made up of insects, and it is clear that the insect swarm is underneath this valley, but from the previous detection situation, the location of the insect nest is at least twenty meters from the surface, and it is difficult for us to get close to it."

The two of them had explored before, and if the nest of the insect swarm was simply buried in the ground like the one last time, it would have been discovered by them a long time ago, so Miao Yingshi came to this conclusion.

"Sure enough, the previous hive has provided it with a lot of experience in dealing with us, not only the hidden means, but the hive's defense is also constantly evolving, coupled with the research in the Natural Research Institute of Sankyung University during this time, it is really troublesome......"

There is no doubt that the swarm brood has begun to make targeted arrangements for the human army with the help of previous temptations and the infiltration of human society during this time.

Even though he had been prepared in his heart, when he realized that the insect nest might be located tens of meters or even hundreds of meters deep from the surface, Yan Jing still felt troubled, and he couldn't help but be glad that he had not blindly chosen to be covered by artillery fire before.

If you want to break through this level of defense, it is impossible for ordinary shells to do it, at most it is just to plow that part of the surface back and forth, looking at the momentum, it will actually not cause any damage to the hives, and will give them a chance to evacuate in advance.

Yan Jing was almost certain that the hive must have added a large number of defenses to the soil.

Not to mention that they have not yet discovered the size of the hive, its structure, and even the number of insects and beasts in it.

......

The news of successfully locking the location of the hive was transmitted back to the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau as soon as possible.

The official was once again surprised by Yan Jing's or Luo Yan's efficiency, and inexplicably felt that it should be taken for granted.

After all, the two insect nests in Shanqing City were discovered and solved by Yan Jing.

In fact, the Special Affairs Bureau had already deduced that Yan Jing should have a prop similar to a tracking device in his hand.

It's just that the latter doesn't say it, and they won't take the initiative to mention it.

Respect is mutual.

And now is not the time to dwell on this.

As images of the scene and more details were returned, a meeting was quickly held within the Secret Service to discuss how to eliminate the hive.

At the same time, officials began to assemble the Ember Apostles and elite troops, several military bases around Shanqing City entered a state of first-class combat readiness, and a batch of professional equipment was urgently deployed to the scene for further reconnaissance.

The task force that had been sent out stopped its current mission and moved closer to Yan Jing's location.

In order to prevent the hive from being detected in advance, the Secret Service chose to carry out the airdrop of personnel and materials a few kilometers away from the target location, and then let them feel the scene on foot.

Yan Jing, who received the news, also resolutely withdrew from the valley, leaving Miao Yingshi to keep an eye on the spot to ensure that there would be no moths in the valley.

Miao Yingshi doesn't like crowded scenes, and being watched by too many people will make him feel uncomfortable.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Jing, who had already become Luo Yan, converged with Wu Senyan and others who had arrived.

First, he roughly talked about the exploration and discovery of the two just now, and Yan Jing then reminded,

"The controller of the hive, that is, the mother worm, should have a high level of intelligence, it hides the hive deep underground, the specific location and depth I don't know, I have to rely on you to detect, the trouble is that I don't have the means to go down, and it doesn't make sense to rush down alone, it will only be swallowed by the alien army in the hive, and you have to use some special means!"

Yan Jing didn't know much about the level of science and technology that the authorities currently mastered, and all he could do was give his own opinions, and then let them judge how to dig out the insect nests buried deep underground.

Completing the Heart of the Swarm mission given by the Emperor is far from being as simple as imagined.

In the depths of this primeval jungle, there is nowhere to hide the traces of man.

Even Yan Jing couldn't be sure if there were insects hiding in the surrounding jungle, secretly watching their every move

In the face of the hive, they had to prepare for the worst, that is, the swarm had learned of the arrival of Yan Jing and the others and began to react.

Regardless of whether its reaction is "fighting" or "fleeing", the Special Affairs Bureau must seize the time and race against time to break through the external defense of the hive.

Otherwise, they will either be raided by the swarm, or they will finally rush in, only to see an empty nest.

Yan Jing and Miao Yingshi couldn't help at this time, but the power of the state apparatus was fully revealed.

Although Yan Jing's personal strength was strong, he was helpless in the face of the insect swarm brood nest buried deep underground, but on the other hand, the Special Affairs Bureau quickly discussed the plan and began to implement it after receiving his news.

Speaking of which, this exaggerated efficiency is thanks to the actions taken some time ago.

Even though there was no large-scale disaster at the time, the official government still could not accept the fact that key cities in China had become alien insect territories, and nearly 10 million ordinary citizens had become its prey.

In order to prevent this from happening again, it is imperative to eradicate the mother nest of the swarm.

Therefore, before the start of the operation, not only the Shanqing Municipal Government, but also higher-level figures had already issued instructions to cooperate with the action at all costs to completely eradicate the insect nest in the Qiannan Nature Reserve!

The insect swarm is buried deep underground, then use the most advanced geological radar in the country to investigate, ordinary artillery coverage can not break through the external defense of the insect nest, the military immediately unsealed the ground-penetrating missile, bombers are on standby at any time.

A large number of ember apostles and special operators began to move towards the area where the valley was located, and before evening, hundreds of elites were concentrated in the camp temporarily opened up by the Special Affairs Bureau, which was the vanguard force, and there were still large troops waiting for airlift.

This is a real war.

The first war in China against a transcendent being!
