Various reports kept coming. Master Tong sat on the command seat, watching the chaotic scenes on the various screens, and fell silent for a while.
The locust radiation has been confirmed, the wasteland area has long been occupied, 82 of the 163 frontline personnel committed suicide, while the others... were killed by missile strikes. Also in this wasteland area, a large number of strange giant birds and patients appeared, suspected to be the "military locust team" that Yu Xiaoyong said, and now Mobei City has become a battlefield.
The fifth explosion occurred, and more ground became scorched black, and the locusts flew out of the old dividing line frantically, and soon drew a new dividing line.
From about 70 square kilometers to about 350 square kilometers, it has expanded nearly five times, and its growth rate has accelerated again.
It expanded five times at once, which far exceeded the previous command center's prediction. The fourth explosion only doubled the expansion, and it was on a downward trend before. But before, there were no locusts, no flying insects and birds flying in to die...
In the expanded area, the cameras, unmanned vehicles, drones, etc. that were originally installed quickly lost their signals and were completely swallowed by the locusts.
As for the personnel active inside, there were a total of 627 people from various agencies and departments, and they also lost contact with the command center after leaving the last tragic cry.
None of them could escape even though they were very close to the dividing line, because from the entire dividing line, locusts poured in from another space continuously.
The mutated area suddenly became too large, and those who died were necessary staff, they stuck to their missions, and they found a way...
If it hadn't been for the recalled team before, it might have suffered this ending.
790 people, 790 people have died in this disaster.
Not counting the casualties of patients and civilians.
With the expansion of the two mutated areas, and with the locust team... it is foreseeable that this number will rise rapidly.
"Master Tong? Master Tong?" The correspondent next to him called out, and there were still many people waiting for Master Tong to make a decision and give an order. What should we do now
What should we do now? Master Tong didn't lose his mind, but he didn't know what to say.
Everyone was expecting him to speak, and so were Yao Shinian and others, as if this old man really had some tricks up his sleeve that he could use to turn the situation around.
But Master Tong knew it himself, no, he couldn't come up with a solution...
We are too weak and simply do not have enough strength to deal with this disaster.
If it is just the current chaos in the urban area of Mobei City, it can be calmed down, not only by the Tianji Bureau, but also by the country's military strength. As long as that kind of alien creature can be killed by thermal weapons, plus the locust team and locust patients... If that's all, it's fine.
The worst outcome is the destruction of a city, a region and millions of people.
However, there is more to it than that.
There are two abnormal areas, one is clearly expanding, and the other is as ghostly as it is unknown.
One has nuclear radiation, and the other has locust radiation. No matter ordinary people, mobile task force elites or magicians, if they go in for a long time, they will die.
We are too weak, this is a fact that everyone knows but is hard to admit, human beings are too weak...can't do much...
Human beings, who are destroyed by earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons, are too weak...
Nuclear bombs? Like the phantom that Deng Ximei saw? Now it seems that the super-large-yield nuclear bomb did not destroy those locusts.
Those locusts are not afraid of nuclear radiation, they may even like it.
Nuclear bombs are always the last resort of human civilization, but Lord Tong opposed this proposal from the very beginning, thinking that it would only accelerate the expansion of the mutation area.
Blowing it down can kill a batch of locusts, and then? Still a steady stream.
They must have a source, and it is impossible not to end the source.
But if there is really no other way, you have to give it a try... Because, the result may be different from what you expected... Because there is really no way...
Why did Gu Jun summon that kind of big bird? Why can? Where did he go? How did you participate in the nuclear explosion
What is the force behind it
Questions, questions, questions, all questions.
They are like falling into a fog, and they themselves are blind, deaf and dumb, everything is unknown and questionable.
It's just that these thoughts, how can Master Tong say it out, this shouldn't be the emotion he wants to hold now as a chief commander.
But even if he didn't show it, the morale of the surroundings was already low, and Master Tong's emotions were also present in everyone's hearts.
Master Tong could see this, the more he was the leader, the more he had to hold on. In fact, he was silent for about ten seconds, "Start the Death Squad plan."
This is one of the few options now. Send the death squad to explore the wasteland area. Now that there are new changes there, the death squad may find it.
The Death Squad will work for one hour. One group of Death Squads will come out and another group of Death Squads will go in.
For one hour, the command center does not have enough exact data to support how much locust radiation it will receive during this period, and whether it will become a carrier. After the Death Squad comes out, they will definitely be quarantined immediately, and there is a high probability that they will be sacrificed in the end...
As for the nuclear radiation mutation area, because of those migratory locusts, it is useless to send death squads in, it is really just death.
At this time, on the screen showing the real-time video of the scene outside the wasteland area, the first death squad of 20 people was ready to set off.
These calm-faced elites are aware of the situation, have joined voluntarily, and have already written their suicide notes.
Some of them are from Mobei, and this is their hometown; some of them are not, but this is also their country.
Sacrifice... It's never been easy, but someone must stand up now... They know that their loved ones will be settled.
But if the world is destroyed, it cannot be settled.
"Everyone." Master Tong's voice was hoarse, trying not to let himself choke up. Now everyone doesn't need more sadness, what they need is someone who can calm down. Only Master Tong knew that his heart was about to constrict, "Let's go, I hope everyone goes well."
In the command center, many people had wet eyes.
Yao Shinian let out a long sigh, for a white-haired guy like him to see groups of young people dying generously, he could only feel sad.
On the screen, the first death squad boarded a combat vehicle and set off.
Humans are weak, but humans can also be strong sometimes.
Master Tong watched and fell into silence again. The battlefield in the urban area of Mobei City does not need them to directly command, but the theater is in charge. The strange giant birds are being mopped up, but each member of the "Flying Locust Squad" still blew themselves up everywhere. In locations close to the ground, some in the sky.
The radiation range caused by Principal Cui is about 8,000 square meters.
And this value is not necessarily the maximum that the members of the migratory locust team can cause.
At this time, the correspondent next to him asked again: "Master Tong, is the 'Operation Circle of Life' going to continue?"
Master Tong was about to say something, but his thinking really froze for a moment, the action of the circle of life? What circle of life action
Master Tong thought about this, he was so stupid that he could even make his own actions foolishly, this was an attempt to prevent the expansion of the mutation area outside the boundary line. But there is another word that vaguely popped into Master Tong's mind, which he ordered...
Isn't it called "Operation Quarantine Circle"? There's also a name for it... The Death Belt
How could it be Operation Life Circle? Master Tong thought about it, and it seemed that it was indeed Operation Circle of Life.
