"What are those guys in the monitoring camp doing? There was such a big insect infestation, but they didn't even notice any signs!"
In the parliament hall, Xu Hongzhuang's eyes were red as she loudly questioned everyone who was reporting the situation.
She glared with her eyebrows raised. No one had ever seen this usually taciturn girl with such an angry look on her face.
Xu Hongzhuang was a little furious.
Anyone who heard that in just a dozen minutes, two strongholds around the city were eliminated and more than a hundred people were killed would not be able to calm the throbbing in their hearts.
If it was a head-on fight, Xu Hongzhuang wouldn't be so angry. At most, she was inferior to her opponent in skills and died without saying anything. But! What made her most angry was that most of these professionals and civilians who died tragically were killed by sneak attacks!
It was too sudden.
Just now, a severe earthquake also occurred in Qiaodong. Compared with the Economic and Technological Development Zone, the situation here is even worse, with the tremor even reaching magnitude eight. Some temporary houses collapsed in an instant, and it is unknown how many people were buried in them.
Natural disaster.
Qiaodong usually has professionals who specialize in disaster detection, and in the past when earthquakes came, they were able to take some precautions. But just now, this earthquake seemed to appear out of nowhere, and the professionals who are proficient in detection didn't even know what happened, and the city was still affected by this.
Because the earthquake came too suddenly, no one could react. The most tragic thing was that on one side of the corner, more than a hundred people were digging an air-raid shelter underground. They built this place to provide people with a place to take refuge when disaster strikes.
However, the strong tremor caused the unfinished air-raid shelter to collapse, burying more than a hundred people inside, with no telling whether they were alive or dead!
The moment she learned the news, Xu Hongzhuang first sent people to comfort the confused survivors, and then stepped up the rescue.
The earthquake slowly began to weaken.
After a while, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The earthquake had just subsided for a few minutes, but suddenly, an extremely violent earthquake sounded again.
The city defenders all jumped up reflexively, looking towards the shaking ground, and then looked at each other in bewilderment. Is the second major earthquake coming
That would be terrible. The first wave killed so many people, wouldn't the second wave be even worse? The whole ground might collapse!
This is what these people feel.
However, this is not the second wave of earthquakes...
But it's a worse situation.
Because everyone saw a terrifying scene.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, a large amount of dust suddenly gushed out from the ground. People could vaguely see a group of ugly, ferocious monsters with colorful armor breaking out of the ground, wriggling their ugly bodies, and raising their heads to make sounds that were enough to pierce the eardrums.
What did they see
A swarm of bugs.
Dense swarms of insects crawled out, as if they had been lying in ambush. I didn’t know so many creatures could crawl out here!
"Bugs, bugs, bugs everywhere, how can I kill them all..."
Some fearful people felt their scalps tingling. As a defending force, facing these endless insects, one can imagine how much pressure they were under. These insects were like locusts, covering the sky and the earth, as if there was no end, and they crawled out from underground to the ground.
Their numbers are like locusts, but each one is extremely ferocious. Even the weakest insect is more dangerous than a tiger in peacetime. In the face of such a disaster, anyone would feel powerless from the bottom of their heart.
Sulfuric acid bugs, sickle beetles, and poisonous spiders were blocked under the city wall, but a small number of sickle ladybugs, red rock dragonflies, and corpse-scented devil bugs crossed the defense line and flew directly to the citizens two kilometers away.
For a time, the survivors who were still immersed in the pain of the earthquake were subjected to quite horrifying attacks. A hardworking worker had his head bitten off by a red rock dragonfly and fell straight to the ground. A pregnant woman was cut in half by a sickle-like ladybug, and her body was directly cut into two pieces. An old woman with limited mobility was targeted by a corpse-scented insect, which swooped down and hit it. In an instant, the old woman's internal organs were pierced by her fangs, and she died on the ground with her eyes wide open.
Fortunately, the patrol personnel in Qiaodong stopped all this in time. In addition to the reserve forces, there were also many civilian forces in Qiaodong, such as some reputable battle groups, who directly took action to meet the enemy. In this situation, even some soldiers who were still loyal to Feng Zhiyong began to resist.
There is no way. These insects are too scary. If they are not killed directly, the entire Qiaodong may be breached from the inside.
But the danger is far from over.
Just when the people in the city were in chaos and countless people were roaring and screaming, outside the city, the ground was seen rolling, and then a dozen fleshy worms popped their heads out from the ground.
Borer worm!
As soon as these large earthworms, whose bodies were connected in a string and emitted a foul odor, emerged, the ground suffered huge damage. The watchtowers and trenches built before were turned into waste in an instant and were completely useless.
What is even more terrifying is that with the appearance of the burrowing worms, the worms hiding underground drilled out from underground along the opponent's caves, greatly shortening the attack time. For a while, the wall on the east side of the bridge was covered with dozens of hideous worms.
It happened too suddenly. Before the earthquake struck, daily maintenance work was being done outside the camp. Dozens of supervisors and hundreds of natives were completing daily construction.
But the appearance of this group of insects undoubtedly dragged them into hell. There were hundreds of them in total, which were not something that ordinary people could contend with. They scrambled for their lives, but they could not escape the insects that followed them like shadows. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people died one after another with wailing.
And the death was extremely horrific.
This is the war between humans and insects, cruel and bloody, with no room for turning back.
People kill insects in self-defense, and insects eat people out of nature!
"Mou..."
An extremely shrill insect chirping sound announced the appearance of a powerful insect.
There was a sound like an explosion all around, and then a huge longicorn beetle broke out from the ground. It weighed nearly two tons, and when it stepped on the ground, it was like a tank.
The defending forces who had been fighting hard, seeing all this, all tensed up and their palms sweated, because they knew that the real enemy had just arrived.
what to do
A feeling of powerlessness suddenly filled everyone's heart.
