Global Cataclysm: I became a world tree

Chapter 176 Locusts strike, Dragon King takes action

Swish swish!
Holding two knives in his hand, Chen Dalong quickly killed the mutated insects climbing up the city wall.

After he finished killing a group of mutated insects on this section of the city wall, he immediately scanned the line of defense and the situation of the rest of the team.

The other teams, while shooting downward, tried their best to resist the attack of these mutated insects climbing up.

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

In addition, they have specially made electric shock shields and shotguns that can attack in a wide range. They will never collapse after being climbed up by mutated insects like before.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the number of these mutated insects climbing up is not many.

Chen Dalong glanced at the direction where the mutated black crow was, and immediately went to the other side.

He has no way to communicate with the black crow, he can only follow the opponent'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 is definitely no problem in keeping it.

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

The ring head knife in his hand swung out quickly, quickly killing mutant insects one by one.

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

However, this feeling disappeared in a flash, which made him a little surprised.

He subconsciously glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and found that they seemed to be unaware, which made Chen Dalong wonder if his perception was wrong.

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

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

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

The mutated goshawk was only 10 meters away from them at most. In this case, considering the huge size of the other party, it would really give people a feeling of blocking out the sky.

But what is even more shocking is that as the mutated goshawk flew past, the mutated insects that had rushed up frantically under the city wall actually flinched and stagnated.

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

That was entirely because of the coercion unleashed by the mutated goshawk.

To be more precise, the mutated goshawk released its coercion towards the outside of the city wall, but it did not release it on him.

But Chen Dalong's perception is much sharper than that of ordinary people, so he has that extremely dangerous feeling.

As for now, he glanced at the mutated insects that had been deterred and stagnated outside the city wall, and shouted excitedly, "Quick, hit me hard."

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

Of course, this situation cannot last for too long. After all, the mutated goshawk left after releasing its coercion, 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 such circumstances, they quickly overcame their fear of higher creatures and launched an attack again.

But no matter what, this bought at least a dozen seconds for the soldiers on the city wall, which was enough for them to temporarily clear out the batch of mutated creatures close to the city wall, and stabilized the originally crumbling defense line.

If it weren't for the fact that a group of mutated creatures had already climbed up the city wall, and they needed to free up some people to defend, they might have achieved even greater results just now.

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

And they would look up at the sky from time to time, waiting for when the mutated goshawk would fly back and unleash another wave of coercion.

After more than a minute, they did not wait for the mutated goshawk, but a colorful tiger with a length of more than ten meters and a height almost as high as the city wall.

Seeing the colossal monster in front of them, and the ferocious prestige emanating from the opponent, a conflicting feeling of fear and peace of mind arose in everyone's hearts.

But this time, everyone was more or less prepared, so they didn't stand in a daze. After the mutated Siberian tiger left, they seized every second and poured out their firepower.

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

Immediately assembled the members of the rescue team who were scattered in various locations and acted as machine gunners, and quickly cleaned up the mutated insects on the city wall.

They were assigned to the rest of the combat teams before to ensure that the firepower of these combat teams would not be interrupted as much as possible after encountering the attack of mutated insects.

Because the evolutionary members of the rescue team were able to shoot with a heavy machine gun in one hand and a machete in the other to kill the mutated insects that rushed in front of them.

But now, with the entry of the third-order mutated creatures from the Dragon King Hall to deter them, the pressure is instantly relieved, and those combat teams alone can support it.

After Chen Dalong changed his tactics and gathered all the evolutionaries together, the speed of clearing up the mutated insects on the city wall suddenly increased a lot.

Coupled with the help of the mutated black crow, they also took advantage of the two gaps to finally wipe out the mutated insects that had climbed onto the city wall.

Without worries, the next battle will be easier.

After that, basically every 1 to 2 minutes, a third-order mutated animal would pass by the city wall, unleashing a wave of coercion, gaining precious ten seconds for the soldiers defending the city.

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

Even if there were occasional mutated insects climbing up the city wall, they would be quickly dealt with by Chen Dalong and others, and there would never be a situation like before where rescues were needed everywhere.

Ten minutes later, when attacking this section of the city wall, the last mutated insect was killed with a single shot. This round of ferocious attacks by the mutated swarm was finally defended.

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

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

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

Fortunately, most of these people were only slightly injured, and basically belonged to the level that they could go back to the battlefield after a bandage.

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

The only fortunate thing is that these casualties, most of them were injured when they were caught off guard at the beginning. When the Dragon King Palace entered the field, especially after the third-order mutant creatures appeared, the number of injured people continued to decline.

As the battle ended, logistics teams rushed to the city wall one by one soon.

Several seriously wounded were carried down, and those who were slightly injured were also sent 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 hurrying to eat some dry food or drink some water, trying to keep their physical fitness in the best condition.

Looking into the distance, Chen Dalong saw that a new wave of mutated insects had left the main force and came towards the city wall.

Boom boom boom!
A few minutes later, the sound of intensive gunfire sounded, which meant that a new round of fighting officially kicked off.

What follows is an endless battle, and it is still a fiercer battle than last night.

one hour, two hours, three hours, four hours
In this kind of high-intensity battle, physical exertion is very terrifying, even Chen Dalong took a round of rest.

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

After 4 hours, I was still so energetic.

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

In this situation, anyone can detect abnormality.

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

Although, the damage that those mutated insects caused to them was at most equivalent to a normal person being bitten by a mosquito.

If you get bitten by a mosquito once or twice, of course you won’t feel anything, but if you have been bitten too many times, you may see red spots all over your body.

By the same token, while these second-order mutated creatures were attacking mutated insects, they were also besieged by dozens or even hundreds of mutated insects.

Although relying on the advantage of speed, most of the mutated insects can't touch them, but most of them don't mean all.

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 tiny wounds on his body should be densely packed.

But in fact, if you don't look carefully, you won't see any wounds on their bodies at all.

Let alone other people in this situation, even Chen Dalong, who knows Dragon King Palace best, is a little puzzled.

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

At this time, another wave of mutated insects was repelled, and the black crows on their wall immediately flapped their wings and flew towards the distance.

For the scene in front of them, the soldiers on the city wall were no strangers to it.

There are mutated sparrows on the side of the Dragon King Hall. The logistics team basically brings over a batch of food every hour. There are various wild fruits, as well as the corpses of small animals such as mutated mice and mutated hares.

Among these foods, Ye Feng mixed spiritual energy fruit and life fruit into it.

Needless to say, the life fruit naturally helped them heal their wounds.

As for the spiritual energy fruit, it is also needed. This thing can not only help a lot of mutated animals to cultivate, but also help them recover their physical strength quickly.

Especially for the third-order mutant animals, they need this even more, because releasing coercion also requires the consumption of aura.

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

After a while, he glanced at the swarm in the distance, and then at his watch.

"Huh! 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 mutated insects they have eliminated is probably only 8000 to [-] million.

Even counting the mutated insects that were killed last night, the celestial beings only killed one-third of the mutated insects.

Under such circumstances, the mutated insects would not be able to retreat.

But now this situation...

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" Chen Dalong felt inexplicably uneasy.

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

"There's something wrong with the mutated insect swarm. Go ask the reconnaissance camp if you've found anything unusual." Bai Yinghui said to Jian Jian beside him.

"Okay!" Nodding simply, he 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: "I haven't found it 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, the radar detects relatively large flying objects, so ordinary mutated insects are not included in this range.

But things that didn't respond before now have data anomalies, which means they are unusual.

"Yes, the reconnaissance battalion is not sure what's going on for the time being. They have already dispatched a reconnaissance drone, and the results will be available in at most 3 minutes." Simple said.

Bai Yinghui nodded.

After a while, the simple communication headset rang, and just after listening to a few words, his expression changed instantly, and he asked anxiously, "Is the information confirmed?"

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

"A large number of mutated locusts have appeared in the direction of the Dongling Mountains, and there are also many mutated flying insects mixed in. The number of them may reach [-] million." Simply said.

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

There is no doubt that this is simply lore.

Air defense is their weakest link, and it is very difficult to defend against it 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, and the opponent can pass through from a high altitude, and they don't play with you at all, and go straight to the city.

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

Because in ground warfare, it is actually a bit like a two-dimensional battle. 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 altitudes ranging from a few meters to hundreds of meters.

Even if there are hundreds of millions of mutated locusts attacking, the density may not be as high as that of millions of mutated insects attacking on the ground.

Under such circumstances, even if they detonate all the thousands of thermobaric bombs, whether they can kill 5000 million mutated locusts is still a question.

However, let alone 5000 million mutated insects, even if 500 million mutated insects were to enter the city, it would be disastrous, not to mention, those were still mutated locusts.

It is no joke that locusts cross the border and nothing grows.
