Chapter 227: Insect Oil
Shu Xingbei and the others didn't say much, anyway, it was the fate of cannon fodder, and they couldn't escape it. At this time, he faced Jia Gensheng, and he died immediately. That guy is ruthless and will never give them the slightest chance to escape.
As for Shu Xingbei himself, he even took the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two brothers of the Kuang family to get him to the front line.
When I entered the city wall, I found that there was a lot of people inside, and none of them were not in a hurry, and occasionally I could hear their discussions, all about the things on the battlefield ahead.
"Those damn bugs, I don't know where they came from, why can't they be destroyed?"
"Fortunately, the artillery fire is so heavy that they can't attack this side in groups, otherwise, it would be even more dangerous."
The people who spoke were all nervous.
Jagensheng commanded his men to bring 199 people to the warehouse and let them pick up the weapons in their hands.
They were cold weapons such as knives, spears, axes, and forks, and shotguns were nowhere to be seen. Come to think of it, these people are all from the open sea, and they are not welcomed by the forces on the Chiba Continent in the first place, so how can they be allowed to get guns. If the muzzle of the gun is turned around, won't it be a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?
Everyone took the weapon they had in hand, and Shu Xingbei was no exception, he picked up a spear.
After everyone had chosen their weapons, Jia Gensheng led them out again, entered the dining hall, and each of them was equipped with a few dry rations, plus two jugs of water, all of which were placed in the storage bags that had been prepared.
Shu Xingbei carried a waterproof storage bag on his back, and after receiving another one, it was not too much, so he continued to carry it.
At this time, the middle-aged man who had chatted with him in the cabin walked over to him again, "Dude, let's form a team later?" β
"Okay," Shu Xingbei didn't refuse. Anyway, a team of ten people.
"My name is Ye Zheng," the man's eyes rolled, "I have a few brothers by my side, everyone follows you, do you think it's okay?" β
Follow me? Did you make me the captain?
The back of the beam is a little strange. Can you trust yourself so much when you first meet?
Although he is sure that he has the ability to lead the team.
Ye Zheng did not hide his purpose, and pointed to the waterproof storage bag behind Shu Xingbei.
Captured by the forces on the island, he was able to leave the waterproof storage bag until now and was not snatched away, this middle-aged man is not as simple as he seems.
The reason why Ye Zheng chose to chat with Shu Xingbei in the bilge was also for this.
At that time, Ye Zheng was still suspicious, thinking that the waterproof storage bag on Shu Xingbei's body was empty, and the bulging bag was just a faΓ§ade. However, until now, Shu Xingbei is still on his back, and he has to make Ye Zheng think more.
"My name is Nie Qingyun. You let them come over," Shu Xingbei nodded slightly.
Ye was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and beckoned, followed by four people.
"Let's follow Brother Nie Qingyun and let him take us," Ye Zheng said to the other four people with deep meaning.
"Brother Nie," Ye Zheng seemed to be quite prestigious, as soon as he said this, the other four people greeted Shu Xingbei without hesitation, and they were all very polite.
Six people stood together.
Not only did they form a team early, but others who knew each other also got together.
By the time Jia Gensheng ordered them to divide into squads, the squads were quickly formed.
"Then I wish you all a victorious start," Jia Gensheng said that although he was not in shape, his face was serious at this time.
After all, going to the battlefield to kill insects is no joke. Jia Gensheng also didn't want these people to be wiped out immediately when they went to the battlefield.
"After six hours, you can retreat. Until then, you have to keep charging forward," Jagansheng reminded the group again, and then greeted the guards at the city gate, signaling for them to let them go.
The crowd rushed out of the exit. When they officially arrived at the battlefield, they were greeted by desolation.
Everywhere you can see are deep pits, and black blood stains can be seen everywhere on the dusty ground.
There's no vegetation at all, it's a completely gray world.
The pit was apparently blasted out by cannon fodder on the city walls, and the remains of some turquoise bugs could be seen inside. or torso, or long legs, or wings.
Shu Xingbei walked near a deep pit, picked up a piece of insect wings, and couldn't help frowning.
The insect wings are longer than Xiao Si's body, and with the torso of the insects he saw before, Shu Xingbei became more and more clear that these insects were even stronger than what Guo Tianyi said.
Just as Shu Xingbei was looking at the insect wings, a team member named Tang Hu stretched out the spear in his hand and knocked on the legs of the insects in the deep pit. Under the blow, the sound of gold and stone actually sounded.
"So hard?" Everyone in the team was taken aback.
Although they have not yet encountered bugs, they have already made an intuitive impression in the minds of the team members: they must not be taken lightly.
Of course, the specific abilities and how strong these bugs can be will be verified after a head-to-head confrontation.
On the city wall, Peng Yuguang, the deputy captain of the Lingfeng Hall C team, was looking at the team sent out below to charge and kill insects, with an indescribable look on his face.
"Yu Guang, it's your turn to be on duty today?" A voice sounded behind Peng Yuguang.
As soon as Peng Yuguang turned around, he saw that the person who came up was Jia Gensheng, and hurriedly bowed, "Yes." Captain Jia really moved fast enough, and it only took a long time for the manpower to arrive. β
Jia Gensheng sighed slightly, "It's getting harder and harder to get people." A batch was folded a year ago, and a lot was folded a long time after the year. If this continues, I am afraid that there will not be enough outsiders on the island below, and the resistance will become bigger and bigger. β
At this time, Jia Gensheng did not have the slightest lust on his face, and there was endless worry on his small face.
"There's nothing you can do about that. In the early stage, our own people rushed up, and there were heavy casualties? Relying on brute force alone, there will always be fish that slip through the net," Peng Yuguang was also helpless.
When these insects first appeared, they did not attract the attention of the various forces in the Chiba Continent.
But the insects that came out of nowhere ate the crops were too fast, and everywhere they went, there was no grass.
Obviously only less than a centimeter, after the locust-sized insect is full, the body has actually changed, not to mention the bigger and bigger, the attack power is getting stronger and stronger, and the back two legs are as hard as iron, and they are spread out, like two short knives, if you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss against the enemy.
By the time the mainland forces realized that something was wrong, the damn bugs had already killed a lot of ordinary people. When they kill people, they don't abandon them, they feed on them.
Together with the herbivorous cattle and sheep, after being met by insects, they were also brutally killed and dismembered, and feasted.
The major forces joined forces to build defensive walls, plus artillery, with fuel bombs, to eliminate batch after batch of insects, which stopped the large-scale attack of insects.
However, under the gun, there must be fish that slip through the net.
The insects that slipped through the net are still ferocious, not to mention, and their fecundity is even more amazing.
If you see one today, you will see ten tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will see hundreds.
Therefore, after each round of gun fire, the major forces sent insecticide teams, carrying weapons, to the open battlefield outside the city walls, looking for those insects that had slipped through the net to mend the knife.
Those remnants of the insects are not as imagined to be able to be slashed one by one, on the contrary, instead of being hunted easily, they have become more savvy, and will hide from the search team, waiting for the fighters, and once they catch the fighters, they will immediately show their fangs.
The insect hunting squads of the major forces suffered heavy casualties, and they were really reluctant to send people again, so they beat the idea to those who came from the open sea.
It is not their own people who die anyway, on the contrary, it can reduce the trouble of the affiliated islands below, so the major forces do not feel sorry for the loss of personnel, and once they send those people to the battlefield, they will immediately blow the whistle.
This whistle is SPEA
The company's research institute personnel use the principle of bionics to simulate the summoning sound of insects going out to forage, as long as the iron whistle is blown, the horn of the entire battlefield can be inductively sounded at the same time.
The hidden insects will be revealed.
They can't find food in the open land, so they naturally look at the humans who come to hunt them.
Unexpectedly, after sending teams twice in a row, the personnel sent by Ling Fengtang's side were all wiped out, and none of them could come back alive.
As for the other three forces, the situation is also not optimistic.
This is why when Cheng Yongsheng learned that there were too many ships and people behind the ark, he did not hesitate to order Zhao Shangzhi to return immediately.
With so many people behind the ark, there is no need to think about the personnel sent to the battlefield in the future.
Ling Fengtang connived at the outlying islands to capture people from the outer sea, as did the other forces, although they did not negotiate together, their actions were surprisingly consistent, as if they had a natural tacit understanding.
"Did the other three make a move?" Jia Gensheng asked.
"We're waiting for news from them, and we'll blow the whistle as soon as they send someone in," Peng Yuguang replied.
"Very well," Jaganson glanced casually at the battlefield. He was slightly stunned, "What is that team doing?" β
Jia Gensheng's gaze was where he saw Shu Xingbei's team.
Near the deep pit, Shu Xingbei used his mind to contact the sea ant Xiaosi, telling it to quickly stay away from here and stay on the side of the city wall. With intuition, Shu Xingbei could also judge that the height at which those insects could fly was definitely more than three meters.
Xiao Si will be in danger if he stays here.
He then asked the team to pick up the insect remains and took out the lighter in the bag.
"Captain Nie, the living corpse can't be spotted," Ye Zheng saw Shu Xingbei's thoughts, and leaned over and said.
Shu Xingbei pointed to the insect's bulging belly, "I'll do an experiment." β
As he spoke, he picked up the spear on the ground and stabbed the worm in the belly.
A greasy mass of viscera tumbled out.
Shu Xingbei turned on the lighter, and the flames leaned up.
With a bang, a pinch of flames burst out.
"Can you light it? Is it any use? Ye Zheng asked curiously.
