Global cataclysm: I became the world tree

Chapter 176 Locusts attack, Dragon King takes action

Swish, swish, swish!

Chen Dalong held two knives and quickly killed the mutated insects that climbed up the city wall.

After he killed a group of mutated insects on this section of the city wall, he immediately scanned this section of the defense line to see the situation of the other teams.

Several other teams, while shooting downwards, also tried their best to resist the attacks of these mutant insects climbing up.

Chen Dalong was a little relieved to see this scene. After a night of fighting, these recruits had finally been honed and their fighting skills had made sufficient progress.

In addition, they have specially designed electric shock shields and shotguns capable of ranged attacks. They will no longer collapse after being climbed up by mutated insects like before.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the number of these mutant insects climbing up is not very large.

Chen Dalong glanced at the direction of the mutated black crow and immediately headed to the other side.

He had no way to communicate with the Black Crow, so he could only cooperate as much as possible according to the other party's rhythm.

But no matter what, according to the current development of the situation, even if the casualties in this round may be greater than before, there will definitely be no problem in defending.

Thinking of this, his steps were not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the position where another team was stationed.

The ring-shou knife in his hand was swung out quickly, killing mutant insects one after another quickly.

But suddenly Chen Dalong felt a warning sign in his heart, as if something extremely terrifying was approaching.

However, this feeling disappeared in a flash, leaving him a little confused.

He subconsciously glanced at the soldiers around him and found that they seemed unaware. This made Chen Dalong wonder if his perception was wrong.

But at this time, a high-pitched eagle call sounded.

A huge goshawk with a wingspan of 50 meters flew over the city wall at low altitude.

Many soldiers raised their heads, with a look of fear and shock in their eyes.

The mutated goshawk is only 10 meters away from them at most. In this case, given the opponent's huge size, it really feels like it is blocking out the sky and the sun.

But what is even more shocking is that as the mutated goshawk flies over, the mutated insects that originally rushed up under the city wall shrink back and stagnate.

At this time, Chen Dalong suddenly understood where the fear in his heart came from.

That's entirely because of the pressure released by the mutated goshawk.

To be more precise, the mutated goshawk unleashed pressure on the outside of the city wall, not on him.

But Chen Dalong's perception is much sharper than ordinary people, so he feels that extreme danger.

As for now, he glanced outside the city wall at the mutated insects that were frightened and stagnant, and shouted excitedly, "Quick, beat me hard."

The soldiers on the battlefield reacted very quickly. Seeing such a good opportunity, they fired frantically downwards and threw grenades at the same time.

Of course, this situation cannot last for long. After all, the mutated goshawk left after releasing its pressure, and the time for deterrence is quite limited.

Moreover, these mutated insects were in a state of hunger, with "food" in front of them. Under this situation, they quickly overcame their fear of superior creatures and launched another attack.

But no matter what, this bought the soldiers on the city wall at least ten seconds, which was enough for them to temporarily clear out the batch of mutated creatures near the city wall, stabilizing the originally shaky defense line.

If a group of mutated creatures had not already climbed up the city wall and they needed to free up some people for defense, they might have achieved greater results just now.

Now everyone is more confident that they can survive this crisis.

And they would look up to the sky from time to time, expecting when the mutated goshawk would fly back and unleash another wave of pressure.

More than a minute later, they did not wait for the mutated goshawk, but instead waited for a colorful tiger that was more than ten meters long and almost as tall as the city wall.

Looking at the behemoth in front of them, and the ferocious power exuding from the opponent, everyone felt a conflicting feeling of fear and peace of mind.

But this time, everyone was more or less prepared, so they did not stay in a daze. After the mutated Siberian tiger left, they seized every second to pour out firepower.

After Chen Dalong saw this, he also decisively changed his tactics.

The rescue team members who were scattered in various locations and acted as machine gunners were immediately gathered together to quickly clean up the mutated insects on the city wall.

They were previously assigned to other combat teams to ensure that these combat teams could ensure that their firepower would not be interrupted to the greatest extent possible after being attacked by mutated insects.

Because the evolutionists in the rescue team are able to shoot with a heavy machine gun in one hand and a machete in the other hand to kill the mutated insects that rush in front of them.

But now, with the entry of the third-level mutated creatures from the Dragon King Palace to act as a deterrent, the pressure has been relieved instantly, and the combat teams alone can sustain it.

As Chen Dalong changed his tactics and gathered all the evolvers, the speed of clearing the mutated insects on the city wall suddenly increased a lot.

Coupled with the help of the mutated black crows, they also took advantage of these two gaps to finally eliminate the mutated insects that climbed onto the city wall.

Without worries, the next battle will be easier.

Basically every 1 to 2 minutes later, a third-level mutant animal would pass by the city wall and release a wave of pressure, buying the soldiers defending the city a precious ten seconds.

Coupled with the help of those second-order mutated creatures, the situation stabilized quickly.

Even if mutated insects occasionally climb up the city wall, they will be quickly eliminated by Chen Dalong and others. 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 killed with one shot. This round of ferocious attacks by the mutant insect swarm was finally defended.

At this moment, everyone's faces showed a look of relief.

Of course, it was not the time to relax yet, Chen Dalong immediately asked people to count the casualties.

It didn't take long for the statistics to come out. What made people sad was that the number of injured was as high as one-third.

Fortunately, most of these people only had minor injuries, and they were basically able to get back to the battlefield with just a bandage.

But even so, many people still have a haze in their hearts, because this is only the first wave of attacks, and it is unknown how many more waves will follow.

The only good thing is that most of these casualties were injured when they were caught off guard at the beginning. Once the Dragon King Palace entered the scene, especially after the appearance of third-level mutant creatures, the number of injured continued to decrease.

As the battle ended, logistics teams soon rushed up the city wall one after another.

Several seriously injured people were carried down, and those with minor injuries also went back for treatment. As for the missing personnel, soldiers who were off duty would naturally come to replace them.

The soldiers who were still on the city wall were taking the time to eat some dry food or drink some water, trying to keep their physical fitness in the best condition.

Chen Dalong looked into the distance and saw that a new wave of mutant insect swarms had broken away from the large army and was heading towards the city wall.

Boom boom boom!

A few minutes later, intensive artillery fire sounded, which meant that a new round of fighting had officially begun.

What followed was an endless battle, and it was even more brutal than last night.

One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours

In this kind of high-intensity battle, the physical exertion is very terrifying. Even Chen Dalong took a round of rest.

However, these mutated animals in the Dragon King Palace always insist on being on the front line, and what is even more surprising is that their physical strength seems to be infinite.

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.

I won’t talk about the third-level mutant creatures, but the second-level mutant creatures are not completely immune to the attacks of those mutant insects.

Although the damage caused by those mutated insects is at most equivalent to a normal person being bitten by a mosquito.

Of course you won't feel anything if you are bitten once or twice by a mosquito, but if you look at it more often, you will probably see red spots all over your body.

By the same token, while these second-order mutant creatures are attacking mutant insects, they are also being attacked by dozens or hundreds of mutant insects.

Although the advantage of speed can prevent the vast majority of mutated insects from touching them, the vast majority does not mean all.

Therefore, they will also be injured, and the frequency is quite high. Almost every minute, there may be more than a dozen small wounds on their bodies.

After a few hours, the tiny wounds on the body should be densely covered.

But in fact, if you don't look carefully, you can't see any wounds on them.

Not to mention other people in this situation, even Chen Dalong, who knows the Dragon King Palace best, is a little confused.

Of course, compared to others, he still had some vague guesses.

At this time, another wave of mutated insect swarms was repelled, and the black crows on their section of the city wall immediately flapped their wings and flew into the distance.

The soldiers on the city wall were no longer surprised by the scene before them.

There are mutated sparrows at the Dragon King Palace, and a logistics team will basically bring a batch of food every hour, including various wild fruits, as well as the carcasses of small animals such as mutated rats and mutated hares.

Among these foods, Ye Feng mixed the Reiki Fruit and Life Fruit into them.

Needless to say, the life fruit helps them heal.

As for the spiritual energy fruit, it is also needed. This thing can not only help mutant animals practice, but also help them quickly recover their physical strength.

Especially for third-level mutated animals, they need this even more, because releasing pressure also requires the consumption of spiritual energy.

After watching the mutated black crow leave, Chen Dalong sat on the top of the city, gnawing on compressed biscuits and looking into the distance, trying to regain his strength as soon as possible.

After a moment, he glanced at the swarm of insects in the distance and then looked at his watch.

"Hey! Why didn't you launch the attack on time this time?" Chen Dalong frowned slightly.

Although they had been fighting for a whole morning, the number of mutated insects they had eliminated was probably only 70 to 80 million.

Even if we include the mutated insects we killed last night, we only killed one-third of the mutated insects.

Under such circumstances, the mutated insects should not retreat.

But now this situation...

"When something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" Chen Dalong felt an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Not only him, Bai Yinghui, who had been standing on the city wall for a day and night, also discovered this.

"There is something wrong with the mutated insect swarm. Go and ask the reconnaissance camp if they have found any abnormal phenomena." Bai Yinghui said to Jian Jian beside him.

"Okay!" Jian Yi nodded, immediately got off the city wall and walked towards the command vehicle parked there.

After a while, he returned and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Nothing has been found yet, but the data on the radar monitor showing the direction of the Dongling Mountains is a bit abnormal."

"The radar shows something abnormal?" 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 originally unresponsive now has data anomalies, which inherently means something unusual.

"Yes, the reconnaissance camp is not sure what the situation is at the moment. They have sent out reconnaissance drones. The results will be available in three minutes at most." Jian Yi said.

Bai Yinghui nodded.

A moment later, the simple communication headset rang. After listening to a few sentences after being connected, his expression changed instantly and he asked urgently: "Is the information confirmed?"

When the other party gave an affirmative answer, he hung up the communication with an ugly expression.

"A large number of mutated locusts have appeared in the direction of the Dongling Mountains, and there are also many flying mutated insects among them. Their number may reach 100 million," Jian Yi said.

After hearing such news, even Bai Yinghui, who had experienced many storms, could not calm down at this time.

There is no doubt that this is a killing blow.

The air defense force is originally their weakest link. It is difficult to resist with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns alone.

The firearms in the hands of the soldiers are not very useful. Maybe the shotgun is somewhat effective, but the problem is that the range is too short. The opponent can pass over from high altitude without playing with you at all, and go straight to the city.

As for their trump card, the thermobaric bomb, although it can be detonated directly in the air through technical means, the effect is estimated to be limited.

Because during ground combat, it is actually a bit like two-dimensional combat. You can only move forward, backward, left, and right. Millions of mutated insects attack together, which is very crowded.

But flying insects are different. They can be distributed at an altitude of several meters to hundreds of meters.

Even if hundreds of millions of mutated locusts attack, the density is probably not as high as the attack by millions of mutated insects on the ground.

Under this situation, even if they detonate all the thousands of thermobaric bombs, there is still a question whether they can kill 50 million mutated locusts.

However, let alone 50 million mutated insects, even if 5 million mutated insects were introduced into the city, it would be catastrophic, not to mention that those were still mutated locusts.

It's no joke that locusts pass through and no grass grows.
