Chapter 175: The locusts are coming, and the dragon king is attacking
Whew!
Chen Dalong held two knives in his hand, and quickly killed the mutated insects that climbed the city wall one by one.
When he finished killing a group of mutant insects on this section of the wall, he immediately glanced at the situation of the rest of the team on this section of the wall.
The other teams, while strafing downwards, were also trying to fend off the attacks of the mutant insects that climbed up.
Chen Dalong was a little relieved to see this scene, after a night of fighting, these recruits had finally honed their skills, and their combat skills had improved sufficiently.
In addition, they have specially made electric shock shields, as well as shotguns that can attack at an area, and they will no longer collapse after being climbed up by mutated insects like before.
Of course, this also has something to do with the number of these mutant insects that climb up, not very many.
Chen Dalong glanced in the direction where the mutated black crow was, and immediately headed towards the other side.
He had no way to communicate with the black crow, so he could only follow the rhythm of the other party and cooperate as much as possible.
But no matter what, according to the current development of the situation, even if the casualties in this round may be larger than before, there will definitely be no problem in holding on.
Thinking about this, his steps were not slow at all, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the position where another team was stationing.
The ring-headed knife in his hand quickly slashed out, quickly killing mutant insects one by one.
But suddenly, Chen Dalong felt a warning in his heart, as if something extremely terrifying was approaching.
But this feeling disappeared for a moment, which made him a little suspicious.
He subconsciously glanced at the soldiers around him and found that they were unconscious, which couldn't help but make Chen Dalong wonder if he was perceiving it wrong.
But at this time, a high-pitched eagle chirp sounded.
A huge goshawk with a wingspan of 50 meters flew low above the city walls.
Many soldiers looked up, with a hint of horror and shock in their eyes.
The mutant goshawk was only 10 meters away from them at most, and in this case, with the sheer size of the other party, it would really give people a sense of obscurity.
But what is even more shocking is that as the mutant goshawk flew over, the mutated insects that had rushed up frantically under the city wall actually cowered and stagnated.
At this time, Chen Dalong also immediately understood how the fear in his heart just now came from.
That's all because of the coercion unleashed by the mutant goshawk.
To be precise, the mutant goshawk unleashed its coercion on the outside of the city wall, not on him.
But Chen Dalong's perception is much sharper than ordinary people, so he has that feeling of extreme danger.
As for now, he glanced at the mutated insects outside the city walls, which had been deterred and stagnant, and shouted excitedly, "Quick, give me a hard beating." ”
The soldiers on the battlefield reacted extremely quickly, and when they saw such a good opportunity, they threw grenades while firing frantically downward.
Of course, this situation can't last long, after all, after the mutant goshawk released the coercion, it left, and the time for deterrence was quite limited.
Moreover, these mutated insects are in a state of hunger, and in front of them is "food", in this case, they quickly overcome their fear of superior creatures and attack again.
But no matter what, this also bought the soldiers on the city wall at least ten seconds, which was enough for them to temporarily empty the batch of mutant creatures close to the city wall, so that the originally crumbling defense line was a lot more stable.
If it weren't for the fact that a group of mutated creatures had already climbed the city wall, and they needed to free up some people for defense, I am afraid that they would have achieved greater results just now.
Now people are more confident that they will be able to survive this crisis.
And from time to time, they would look up at the sky, looking forward to when the mutated goshawk would fly back and release another wave of coercion.
After more than a minute, they did not wait for the mutated goshawk, but waited for a colorful tiger with a length of more than ten meters and a height almost equal to the city wall.
Looking at the behemoth in front of them, as well as the ferocity that emanated from the other party, there was a contradictory feeling of fear and peace of mind in everyone's hearts.
But this time, everyone was more or less prepared in their hearts, so they didn't be stunned, and after the mutant Siberian tiger left, they seized every second and poured firepower.
After Chen Dalong saw this scene, he also decisively changed his tactics.
Immediately assemble the members of the rescue team scattered in various locations and act as machine gunners, and quickly clean up the mutated insects on the city wall.
Previously, they were assigned to the rest of the combat squads, which was to ensure that these combat squads could ensure that their firepower was not interrupted as much as possible after being attacked by mutant insects.
Because the evolutionaries of the rescue team are able to do it, with a heavy machine gun in one hand and a machete in the other, to kill the mutated insects that rush in front of them.
And now, with the entry of the third-order mutant creatures of the Dragon King Hall and the deterrence, the pressure was instantly reduced, and those battle squads alone could support it.
As Chen Dalong changed his tactics and gathered all the evolutionaries, the speed of clearing the mutated insects on the city wall suddenly increased a lot.
In addition, with the help of mutant black crows, they also took advantage of these two window periods to finally clean up the mutated insects that climbed onto the city wall.
Without worries, the next battle will be easier.
Basically, every 1~2 minutes, there will be a third-order mutant animal passing by the city wall, releasing a wave of coercion, giving the soldiers defending the city a precious ten seconds.
Coupled with the help of those second-order mutant creatures, the situation was quickly stabilized.
Even if there are occasional mutant insects climbing the city wall, they will be quickly solved by Chen Dalong and others, and there will never be the same situation as before, where rescue is needed everywhere.
Ten minutes later, when attacking this section of the city wall, the last mutant insect was also killed with one shot, and this round of fierce attacks of the mutant insect swarm finally defended.
At this moment, everyone's faces showed a look of relief.
Of course, now is not the time to relax, Chen Dalong immediately asked people to count the casualties.
It didn't take long for the statistics to come out, and what made people feel heavy was that the number of injured people was as high as one-third.
Fortunately, most of these people are only slightly injured, which is basically the kind of level that can be bandaged and returned to the battlefield.
But even so, many people still have a haze in their hearts, because this is only the first wave of attacks, and I don't know how many more waves of attacks will follow.
The only thing that is fortunate is that these casualties, most of them were injured when they were caught off guard at the beginning, and when the Dragon King Hall entered the field, especially after the appearance of third-order mutant creatures, the number of injured people continued to decline.
As the battle ended, one by one logistics teams soon rushed to the city walls.
Several seriously wounded people were carried down, and those who were slightly injured also went back for treatment, and as for the missing personnel, naturally there would be rotational soldiers to replace them.
The soldiers who remained on the city walls were all hurrying to eat a little dry food or drink some water to try to keep their physical fitness in the best condition.
Chen Dalong looked into the distance, and a new wave of mutant insect swarms had broken away from the main army and came in the direction of the city wall.
Boom Boom!
A few minutes later, the sound of intensive artillery fire sounded, which meant that a new round of fighting had officially begun.
Then there was endless fighting, and it was even more tragic than last night.
One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours
In this kind of high-intensity battle, the physical exertion was very terrifying, and even Chen Dalong had a round of rest.
However, these mutated animals in the Dragon King Hall have always insisted on being on the first line, and what is even more surprising is that their physical strength seems to be unlimited.
After 4 hours, I am still so energetic.
What's even more exaggerated is that there are no wounds on their bodies.
Anyone can detect something abnormal in this situation.
Not to mention those third-order mutant creatures, but second-order mutated creatures are not completely immune to the attacks of those mutated insects.
Although it is said that the little damage caused to them by those mutant insects can only be equivalent to a normal person being bitten by a mosquito at most.
If you are bitten by a mosquito once or twice, of course, you won't feel anything, but if you look at it more often, it is estimated that there are red dots all over your body.
In the same way, these second-order mutant creatures, while attacking mutant insects, are actually suffering from the siege of dozens or hundreds of mutant insects.
Although with the advantage of speed, the vast majority of mutant insects cannot touch them, but the vast majority does not represent all.
So they can also get hurt, and the frequency is quite high, almost every minute, there may be a dozen small wounds on the body.
After a few hours of accumulation, the small wounds on the body should be dense.
But in reality, if you don't look closely, you can't see any wounds on them.
In this situation, let alone other people, even Chen Dalong, who knew the Dragon King Hall best, was a little confused.
Of course, compared to others, he still has some vague guesses.
At this time, another wave of mutant insect swarms was repulsed, and the black crows on their part of the city wall suddenly flapped their wings and flew into the distance.
For the scene in front of them, the soldiers on the city wall were no longer surprised.
There are mutant sparrows on the side of the Dragon King Palace, and the logistics team composed of them will basically bring a batch of food every hour, including various wild fruits, as well as the corpses of small animals such as mutated mice and mutant hares.
And among these foods, Ye Feng mixed the Spiritual Qi Fruit and the Life Fruit into it.
Needless to say, the Life Fruit is of course to help them heal.
As for the aura fruit, it is also needed, this thing can not only help a group of mutated animals cultivate, but also help them quickly recover their strength.
Especially for third-order mutant animals, they need this even more, because to release coercion, they also need to consume aura.
After seeing the mutant black crow leave, Chen Dalong sat on the head of the city, nibbling on compressed biscuits while looking into the distance, trying to recover his strength as soon as possible.
After a moment, he glanced at the swarm in the distance, and then at his watch.
"Huh! Why didn't you attack on time this time? Chen Dalong's brows furrowed slightly.
Although they had been fighting for a whole morning, the number of mutant insects they had eliminated was probably only seventy or eighty million.
Even if you count the mutant insects killed last night, you can only kill one-third of the mutant insects in the sky.
In this case, it stands to reason that the mutant insects will not retreat.
But now this situation ......
"When things go wrong, there must be demons!" Chen Dalong felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
Not only him, but Bai Yinghui, who had been standing on the city wall for a day and a night, also discovered this.
"There's something wrong with the mutant swarm, you go and ask the reconnaissance camp if you have found any anomalies." Bai Yinghui said to the simple beside him.
"Good!" With a simple nod, he immediately descended the city wall and walked to the command car parked there.
After a while, he returned and said with a slightly solemn expression: "I haven't found it for the time being, but the data on the radar monitor shows the direction of the Dongling Mountain Range, which is a bit abnormal." ”
"The radar actually shows an anomaly?" Bai Yinghui also frowned.
Under normal circumstances, radar detects relatively large flying objects, so general mutant insects are not included in this range.
But what was not a reaction is now a data anomaly, which means something unusual.
"Yes, the reconnaissance battalion can't be sure what the situation is for the time being, they have already sent reconnaissance drones, and the results will be available in three minutes at most." Simply said.
Bai Yinghui nodded.
A moment later, the simple communication headset rang, and after listening to two sentences after connecting it, his expression changed instantly, and he asked urgently: "Is the information confirmed?" ”
When the other side gave an affirmative answer, he hung up the communication with an ugly face.
"In the direction of the Dongling Mountain Range, a large number of mutant locusts have appeared, and there are many flying mutant insects mixed in them, and their number may have reached 100 million." Simply said.
Hearing such news, even Bai Yinghui, who has experienced a lot of ups and downs, can't be calm at this time.
Without a doubt, this is nothing short of a lore.
Air defense is their weakest link, and it is difficult to resist them by relying on anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns alone.
The guns in the soldiers' hands are not very useful, maybe the shotgun has some effect, but the problem is that the range is too short, and the opponent can completely cross it from a high altitude, and do not play with you at all, and go straight to the city.
As for their killer thermobaric bombs, although they can be directly detonated in the air by technical means, the effect is estimated to be limited.
Because in ground warfare, it is actually a bit like a two-dimensional battle, which can only move forward, backward, left and right, and millions of mutated insects attack together, which is very crowded.
But flying insects are different, they can be distributed at altitudes ranging from a few meters to hundreds of meters.
Even if hundreds of millions of mutant locusts come to attack, the density is probably not as dense as that of millions of mutant insects on the ground.
In this case, even if they detonate all the thousands of thermobaric bombs, it is a question whether they can kill 50 million mutant locusts.
However, not to mention 50 million mutant insects, even if 5 million mutated insects are released into the city, it will be catastrophic, not to mention, those are still mutant locusts.
Locusts crossing the border and not growing any grass is no joke.
