Chapter 176 Locusts Attack, Dragon King Takes Action

Shua shua shua!

Chen Dalong held two knives and quickly killed the mutant insects climbing up the wall.

When he finished killing a group of mutant insects on this section of the wall, he immediately scanned the situation of the other teams on this section of the defense line.

The other teams were trying their best to resist the attacks of the mutant insects climbing up while shooting downwards.

Chen Dalong was somewhat relieved to see this scene. After a night of fighting, these recruits were finally honed and their combat skills had improved sufficiently.

In addition, they had special electric shock shields and shotguns that could attack in a wide range. They would never collapse like before after being climbed up by mutant insects.

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

Chen Dalong glanced at the direction of the mutant black crow and immediately went to the other side.

He had no way to communicate with the black crow, so he could only follow the other party's rhythm and cooperate as much as possible.

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

He thought about this, and his steps were not slow at all. In a blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the position where another team was stationed.

The ring-headed knife in his hand swung out quickly, quickly killing the mutant insects.

But suddenly, Chen Dalong felt a great sense of alarm in his heart, as if something extremely terrifying was approaching.

But this feeling flashed away, making him a little suspicious.

He subconsciously glanced at the soldiers around him and found that they seemed to be unaware, which made Chen Dalong wonder if he had sensed it wrong.

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

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

Many soldiers looked up, with a trace of fear and shock in their eyes.

The mutant goshawk was only 10 meters away from them at most. In this case, with the opponent's huge size, it really gave people a feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

But what was even more shocking was that as the mutant goshawk flew over, the mutant insects that had been rushing up frantically under the city wall actually shrank back and stopped moving.

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

It was entirely because of the pressure released by the mutant goshawk.

To be precise, the mutant goshawk released the pressure outside the city wall, not to him.

But Chen Dalong's perception was much more acute than that of ordinary people, so he had that feeling of extreme danger.

As for now, he took a look at the mutant insects outside the city wall that were deterred and stopped moving, and shouted excitedly, "Hurry, hit them hard for me."

The soldiers on the battlefield reacted very quickly. Seeing such a good opportunity, they frantically shot down and threw grenades.

Of course, this situation could not last too long. After all, the mutant goshawk left after releasing the pressure, and the deterrence time was quite limited.

Moreover, these mutant insects were in a state of hunger, and there was "food" in front of them. Under this circumstance, they quickly overcame their fear of the superior creatures and launched an attack again.

But no matter what, this also bought the soldiers on the city wall at least a dozen seconds, which was enough for them to temporarily clear out the mutant creatures near the city wall, making the originally shaky defense line much more stable.

If there had not been a group of mutant creatures climbing up the city wall, they would have needed to spare some people for defense, and they might have achieved greater results just now.

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

And from time to time they would look up at the sky, looking forward to when the mutant goshawk would fly back and release another wave of pressure.

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

Looking at the huge monster in front of them, and the fierce power emanating from the other party, everyone felt a contradictory feeling of both fear and peace of mind.

However, this time, everyone was more or less prepared, so they did not stand there in a daze. After the mutant Siberian tiger left, they seized every second and poured out firepower.

After seeing this scene, Chen Dalong decisively changed his tactics.

He immediately gathered the rescue team members who were scattered in various positions and acted as machine gunners, and quickly cleaned up the mutant insects on the city wall.

They were arranged in the other combat teams before to ensure that these combat teams could guarantee the maximum possible firepower after being attacked by mutant insects.

Because the evolutionists of the rescue team can do it, holding a heavy machine gun in one hand and holding a machete in the other hand to kill the mutant insects that rushed in front of them.

And now, with the entry of the third-level mutant creatures of the Dragon King Hall for deterrence, the pressure was instantly relieved, and those combat teams alone could hold on.

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

With the help of the mutant black crows, they took advantage of these two windows and finally wiped out the mutant insects that had climbed onto the city walls.

Without any worries, the next battle was easier.

Basically, every 1 to 2 minutes, a third-level mutant animal would pass by the city wall, releasing a wave of pressure, which bought the soldiers defending the city a dozen precious seconds.

With the help of those second-level mutant creatures, the situation stabilized quickly.

Even if mutant insects occasionally climbed up the city wall, they would be quickly solved by Chen Dalong and others, and there would never be the previous situation where rescue was needed everywhere.

More than ten minutes later, when attacking this section of the city wall, the last mutant insect was also shot dead, and the fierce attack of the mutant insect swarm was finally defended.

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

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

Not long after the statistics came out, it was heavy to see that the number of injured people was as high as one-third.

Fortunately, most of these people were only slightly injured, and basically they were the kind of people who could go back to the battlefield after 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 waves of attacks will follow.

The only thing to be thankful for is that most of these casualties were injured when they were caught off guard at the beginning. When the Dragon King Palace entered the scene, especially after the third-level mutant creatures appeared, the number of injured continued to decline.

As the battle ended, soon one logistics team after another rushed to the city wall.

Several seriously injured soldiers were carried down, and those with minor injuries also went back for treatment. As for the missing personnel, there would naturally be soldiers on rotation to replace them.

The soldiers who remained on the city wall were all 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 a new wave of mutant insect swarms had already left the main force and were heading towards the city wall.

Boom boom boom!

A few minutes later, the sound of dense artillery fire rang out, meaning that a new round of battle officially kicked off.

What followed was an endless battle, and it was a more tragic battle than last night.

One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours

In this high-intensity battle, the physical consumption is very terrifying. Even Chen Dalong took a break.

However, these mutant animals in the Dragon King Palace always insisted on the front line, and what is more surprising is that their physical strength seems to be unlimited.

After 4 hours, they are still so energetic.

What is even more exaggerated is that there are no wounds on their bodies.

In this case, anyone can detect that it is abnormal.

Not to mention those third-order mutant creatures, but second-order mutant creatures are not completely immune to the attacks of those mutant insects.

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

If you are bitten by a mosquito once or twice, you will certainly not feel anything, but if the number of times is too many, you will probably see red spots all over your body.

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

Although they can prevent most mutant insects from touching them due to their speed advantage, most of them do not represent all of them.

So 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 of accumulation, the small wounds on their bodies should be densely packed.

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

In this situation, let alone other people, even Chen Dalong, who knows the Dragon King Palace best, is a little confused.

Of course, compared to other people, he still has some vague guesses.

At this time, another wave of mutant insects was repelled, and the black crows on their section of the wall immediately flapped their wings and flew away.

The soldiers on the wall were no longer surprised by this scene.

There is a logistics team composed of mutant sparrows on the Dragon King Palace. Basically, every hour, they will bring a batch of food, including various wild fruits, and the bodies of small animals such as mutant mice and mutant rabbits.

Among these foods, Ye Feng mixed spiritual fruits and life fruits.

Needless to say, life fruits are of course used to help them heal.

As for spiritual fruits, they are also needed. This thing can not only help a group of mutant animals practice, but also help them recover their physical strength quickly.

Especially for the third-level mutant animals, they need this more, because releasing pressure also consumes spiritual energy.

After watching the mutant black crow leave, Chen Dalong sat on the top of the city, chewing on compressed biscuits while looking into the distance, trying to recover his physical strength as soon as possible.

After a while, he glanced at the insect swarm in the distance and looked at his watch again.

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

Although they have been fighting for a whole morning, the number of mutant insects they have eliminated is probably only 70 to 80 million.

Even if the mutant insects killed last night are counted, at most only one-third of the mutant insects have been killed.

Under this situation, the mutant insects should not retreat.

But now this situation...

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal!" Chen Dalong felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart.

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

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

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

After a moment, he returned again, with a slightly solemn expression and said: "Nothing has been found yet, but the radar monitor shows that the data in the direction of the Dongling Mountains is a bit abnormal."

"The radar actually shows abnormality?" Bai Yinghui also frowned.

Under normal circumstances, radar detects flying objects of relatively large size, so ordinary mutant insects are not included in this range.

But something that originally did not respond now has abnormal data, which means something unusual.

"Yes, the reconnaissance camp cannot be sure what the situation is for the time being. They have sent out a reconnaissance drone, and there will be results in three minutes at most." Jian Yi said.

Bai Yinghui nodded.

A moment later, Jianyi's communication headset rang. After just listening to two sentences, his expression changed instantly, and he asked anxiously: "Is the information confirmed?"

When the other party gave a positive answer, he hung up the communication with an ugly face.

"In the direction of the Dongling Mountains, a large number of mutant locusts appeared, and there were also many flying mutant insects mixed in. The number may have reached 100 million." Jianyi said.

Hearing such news, even Bai Yinghui, who had experienced many storms, could not remain calm at this time.

There is no doubt that this is simply a sure kill.

Air defense is their weakest link. It is difficult to resist with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons alone.

The guns in the hands of the soldiers are not very useful. Maybe the shotgun has some effect, but the problem is that the range is too short. The opponent can completely pass from high altitude and not play with you at all, and rush directly into the city.

As for their killer thermobaric bombs, although they can be directly detonated in the air through technical means, the effect is estimated to be limited.

Because when fighting on the ground, it is actually a bit like a two-dimensional battle, and you can only move forward, backward, left and right. Millions of mutant insects attacking together are very crowded.

But flying insects are different. They can be distributed at a height of several meters to several hundred meters.

Even if there are hundreds of millions of mutant locusts attacking, the density is probably not as high as the density of millions of mutant insects attacking on the ground.

In this case, even if they detonate thousands of thermobaric bombs, it is still a question whether they can kill 50 million mutant locusts.

However, let alone 50 million mutant insects, even if 5 million mutant insects are released into the city, it is catastrophic, not to mention that they are still mutant locusts.

When locusts pass through, no grass will grow. This is not a joke.
