Chapter 171 First Battle
At this time, Bai Yinghui and a group of generals also came to the north wall.
When they saw that the powerful insecticide water could not kill any mutant insects, although they had expected it, their hearts still sank.
"How much reserve do we have for the second generation of powerful insecticide water?" Bai Yinghui couldn't help asking the chief of staff Jian Yi beside him.
"The production process of the second generation of powerful insecticide water is too complicated, and it also requires a lot of mutant plants containing toxins as raw materials, so we only rushed to produce about 200 kilograms, which can only be used in key places." Jian Yi sighed and said.
"Based on the resistance of these mutant insects to insecticide water, according to your estimate, how many mutant insects can be killed by 200 kilograms of the second generation of powerful insecticide water?" Bai Yinghui asked with a frown.
"According to the deduction of the staff, it will not exceed 2 million at most." Jian Yi replied.
Bai Yinghui couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing this. The second generation of insecticide water has been developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a long time.
However, due to the complexity of the production process, it has been improved.
When the third spiritual energy revival, a large number of second-order mutant insects appeared, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also knew that it could not wait any longer, and could only make public the production method of the second-generation powerful insecticide water that had not yet been perfected.
After getting the formula, Bai Yinghui immediately ordered the production of Yangcheng City, but unfortunately, only this little bit was produced in ten days.
Moreover, this thing is not only complicated in production process, but also a bit expensive. Basically, one kilogram of the second-generation powerful insecticide water requires a full 100,000 Chinese yuan.
In the current situation of tight funds, he dared not mass-produce it.
"Then pass the order to distribute the second-generation powerful insecticide water to each rescue team, hoping that they can play the due effect." After Bai Yinghui said to Jian Hua, his attention returned to the battlefield in front of him again.
At this time, those who rushed to the front of the mutant insect army had passed through the coverage of the powerful insecticide water and were about to approach within 50 meters of the city wall.
On the city wall, soldiers holding flamethrowers were already on full alert. When these mutant insects entered the 50-meter flame spray range, they pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Instantly, long flames shot out from the nozzle, covering the mutant insect army that was constantly advancing below.
And this time, not only flamethrowers were used, but also bottles filled with kerosene were thrown down by the soldiers above. Almost in an instant, the area below the city wall was like a sea of fire.
The mutant insects rushing in the front were almost swallowed up by this sea of fire in an instant.
Even though these mutant insects have reached the second level, some mutant insects with strong defense have reached the point where they are difficult to be injured by swords.
However, they are carbon-based life after all. Under the burning of flames, even the hardest shells are rapidly becoming charred, twisted, and cracked, and their life breath is also weakening at an extremely fast speed.
However, these mutant insects will not sit and wait to be burned to death.
Some of them were moving quickly, trying to rush through the sea of fire as quickly as possible and pounce on the city wall.
But more of them were rolling on the ground according to their animal instincts, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
Under normal circumstances, they were touched by kerosene, and it was unrealistic to rely on rolling to extinguish the flames.
But the problem was that outside the city wall was the wild, and these were all second-level mutant insects. Even if they were only the size of a fist, they could burst out dozens of kilograms of power.
As they rolled desperately, even drilling into the ground, sand and stones flew and mud filled the sky.
The mud and sand covered their bodies and actually extinguished the flames on their bodies quickly.
And not only that, as they turned the mud, the sea of fire that was still burning was also extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This unexpected scene in front of him made Bai Yinghui's mouth twitch, and his face gradually became ugly.
Because this not only means that they need to consume more fuel to maintain this sea of fire, but also that the power will be reduced a lot.
"Damn it! Why didn't we think of this before? If we had known earlier, we would have covered the entire area with cement and see how they could drill through it." Bai Yinghui gritted his teeth and said.
Jian Yi on the side was silent. How big a project would this be?
Even if they knew it in advance, they probably wouldn't have done it. Wouldn't it be better to raise the city wall by two or three meters?
More importantly, as the soldiers reacted and threw in more Molotov cocktails, the sea of fire could still be maintained.
However, the power reduction is inevitable, and with the mutant insects in front as a demonstration, the mutant insects that came later that could drill through the ground basically chose to drill through the ground, and the effect they could achieve would be lower.
But even so, when passing through this sea of fire, nearly one-third of the mutant insects were directly burned to death.
And even if they were not burned to death on the spot, they were first eroded by the toxins of the powerful insecticide, and then burned, and their physical condition had greatly declined, and it was hard to say whether they were even half as good as before.
However, they still failed to attack the city wall because there was still one last level.
When these mutant insects approached the city wall within 10 meters, grenades were thrown down from the wall.
Boom boom boom boom!
The dense roars continued.
Each grenade can kill a large number of mutant insects.
After the spraying of insecticide, the burning of flames, and the last round of grenade bombing, the number of mutant insects that can finally reach the city wall is only 30% of the original number.
And their combat effectiveness has been weakened by half.
This is the advantage of positional warfare. Only positional warfare can bring human weapons to full play.
After the mutant insects reach the city wall, they cannot launch an attack.
They must also climb up this 5-meter-high wall.
When the city wall was built, in order to prevent these mutant insects from climbing, the outer wall was not only vertical, but also quite smooth. At least there were no gaps on the surface of the wall for climbing.
However, these mutant insects are indeed amazing. Their feet or claws will become very sharp as they mutate, and they can actually be directly inserted into the wall poured with cement.
Although their claws can only penetrate the wall by about one or two millimeters, they are enough to support the weight of their bodies and climb up quickly.
However, the soldiers above would not watch them climb up, and they immediately raised their guns to aim and then pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang!
In an instant, the barrage of bullets swept down.
Especially on the top of the city wall, there was a machine gun every 5 meters, and the firepower was even more fierce at this time.
It is worth mentioning that the bases of these machine guns have been specially set up. The people on the top can directly push the machine gun out, and then the muzzle is downward, 90 degrees vertical, specially used to shoot climbing mutant insects.
Under the fierce firepower coverage, the climbing mutant insects fell like raindrops.
These mutant insects, even beetles with relatively strong defense, can't withstand the attack of bullets at all, and will be pierced through the body and die in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh. If the military had time to prepare more than ten days ago, the mutant biological crisis would not have caused much impact.
"However, there are many kinds of insects in this mutant biological crisis. It is unlikely to be completely resisted by such means alone." Ye Feng muttered in a low voice.
Not long after he finished speaking, he saw three mutant stick insects climbing very fast on a section of the city wall more than 300 meters away from him.
The 5-meter city wall is not actually high. For these mutant insects, the slowest ones can climb up in more than ten seconds, and the fastest ones can climb up in seven or eight seconds.
The three mutant stick insects observed by Ye Feng seemed to be much stronger than their peers. They climbed up the 5-meter city wall in just three seconds.
Immediately, they attacked the nearest soldiers.
The soldiers attacked by them were all recruits. At this time, they were obviously a little panicked. They quickly drew out their machetes and attacked the mutant stick insects.
However, the three mutant stick insects that had overcome many difficulties and reached the top of the city wall were not so easy to deal with.
Except for one soldier who chopped the stick insect, the attacks of the other two soldiers were in vain, and they were also counterattacked by the mutant stick insects, and their combat uniforms were instantly cut open with a long cut.
If it weren't for the nearest veteran who came to help immediately, I'm afraid that these two recruits would have suffered serious injuries after defeating the mutant stick insects.
Although the three mutant stick insects were finally solved smoothly, it took more than ten seconds.
During this time, more mutant insects had already climbed up.
However, the military had long anticipated this situation. A battalion commander in charge of this section of the front immediately asked the reserve team to go up and suppress the firepower, so there was no major problem.
However, there was more than one place where this happened.
Ye Feng looked to the other side, where there were two mutant beetles, coming to the bottom of the city wall.
They didn't need to climb at all, they just spread their wings hidden under the shell, and flew up quickly between flaps.
And farther away, there was a group of mutant crickets, they didn't need to climb the wall, their powerful hind legs kicked the ground, and they jumped over a height of 5 meters and came to the top of the wall.
For a while, this section of the wall was attacked by mutant insects in many places.
Although such attacks were quickly resolved, they also left a layer of haze in everyone's hearts.
Because facing these mutant insects that have reached the second level, ordinary soldiers really don't have much advantage in terms of physical fitness. Even if they don't have weapons and protective clothing, it's hard to say whether they can win one-on-one.
Ye Feng looked at the wall for a while, and saw that the military didn't use more means, and understood that the other party was probably training. If there was no accident, it was estimated that they would maintain this state for a while, so he closed his eyes and rested.
Of course, Ye Feng had actually switched the possession state to the main body, and then took out his mobile phone to check the news online.
All of his third-level mutant creatures were invited to take charge. In the wartime state, it was not convenient for Ye Feng to possess them and fly around at will.
In this case, using a mobile phone to surf the Internet can actually get more and more comprehensive information.
When Ye Feng opened the software, he didn't even need to check it, and all kinds of information popped up. Many of them were short videos taken by residents themselves, especially those near the city wall.
From their words, there was a hint of panic.
In addition, there were also some brave anchors who had selected some high-rise buildings early, set up video equipment that could shoot from a distance, and started live broadcasting.
Of course, if there was a live broadcast room with the most people, it would undoubtedly be the live broadcast room of Du Gulan, a frontline reporter.
Ye Feng couldn't help but click in to take a look.
At this time, Du Gulan was standing on the city wall with a photography team. At this time, her pretty face was a little pale, as if she was frightened.
Although she was facing the camera, her eyes would drift to the outer wall from time to time, and she said quickly: "In order not to affect the soldiers' fighting here, the live broadcast on the city wall ends here. Next, we will interview the head of the regiment in charge of this section of the city wall according to the original plan."
After she finished speaking, she immediately walked down the stairs.
Ye Feng glanced at the barrage.
Go Home No. 2: "It's better to go down. It was too dangerous just now. She was standing so far away, but the mutant damselfly came directly at her. I was shocked even through the screen."
Jinsheng Suixi: "It is said that after biological mutation, wisdom will become higher and higher. Maybe the mutant damselfly saw that she was the weakest at a glance, so it just picked a weak persimmon! [Doghead]"
Shangshan Ruoshui: "Isn't anyone concerned about the situation? It's only been live for more than ten minutes. I just counted that there are nearly 20 people injured on this section of the city wall. The number of casualties on the entire city wall is definitely terrifying."
Everyone in the live broadcast room was talking about it, but suddenly, the barrage became uniform, and they were all brushing Chen Dalong's name.
The staff also noticed this and immediately reminded Du Gulan.
"Chen Dalong? Why did you mention him suddenly?" Du Gulan looked puzzled.
Under the reminder of everyone in the live broadcast room, he soon saw Chen Dalong sharpening his knife under a military tent in the distance.
Du Gulan's eyes lit up immediately, and he turned his head towards the camera and said, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I actually saw the strongest man in our Yang City. Let's go over and interview Mr. Chen Dalong and ask him what he thinks of the current situation."
