Seven Hundred and Ninety-Two Ways to Survive

Staff Officer Li's voice was full of embarrassment: "The plane...is temporarily unavailable."

"Why?" Ye Han's voice suddenly rose.

"Because there is something new..."

"What's new?"

"That's it. About half an hour ago, the fleet discovered a large number of flying giant insects in the Central African rainforest. It is speculated that they are probably flying ants. There are very many of them and they are approaching Morobeda from the east, south and west. , is expected to arrive in Molobida in about an hour, and will fully cover Molobida in about 90 minutes. It is still unclear how aggressive the flying ants are, but Beijing has jointly issued a no-fly statement with Washington, classifying the entire Africa as a no-fly. district."

"No-fly zone?" Ye Han felt bad, "What the hell is this?"

First there were giant ants, then spider ants, and now there are flying ants. Good guy, ever since the arrival of aliens, African ant colonies have been really prosperous. They are no longer just the bastards who relied on giant ants to conquer the world, but are moving towards swarming. and specialization are making great strides. If the aliens continue to struggle like this, will they be able to turn African ants into real Zerg?

Damn it, I have to report back to my boss later, and all things related to the Zerg must be banned. If aliens get this information and copy the Zerg in the information, humans will have great fun.

"Sorry, Captain Ye, there's really nothing I can do about this." Staff Officer Li said.

Ye Han thought for a while and said, "Have you found any flying ants from other directions?"

"not yet."

"The flying ants are only heading towards Morobida? Are there any signs of spreading in other directions?"

"I didn't find it either."

Ye Han paused and said, "Why not use nuclear weapons?"

"The scope is too large. If nuclear weapons are used, the African rainforest will not be saved. No one can afford this responsibility." said Staff Officer Li.

After hearing what he said, Ye Han also came back to his senses.

The ecological environment of the earth has been severely damaged by the raging insects. There are no wild animals left in all parts of the world. Wild mammals are almost extinct. Even larger insects are not immune. Only small insects such as flies and mosquitoes are the last resort. survived.

However, the entire population was spared. Due to the extinction of wild animals, flies had nowhere to lay their eggs and mosquitoes could not suck blood.

Even the number of dung beetles has been greatly reduced because they can’t find food.

These are just a few examples, similar situations abound.

In contrast, the number of insects that rely on plants for survival has increased significantly, and their numbers have reached a level that seriously harms plant populations.

Insect plague is destroying the earth's ecosystem!

In contrast, the tropical rainforest, which was originally a biological treasure house, is the area with the least impact. Although biological species have dropped sharply, they can still barely maintain a balance.

The tropical rainforest is known as the lungs of the earth. The forests here absorb carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and maintain the oxygen content of the atmosphere. Any species on earth that breathes oxygen must be grateful for the gift of the tropical rainforest.

If we ignore the situation and directly use nuclear bombs to destroy the Central African rainforest in order to eliminate the giant ants, the already precarious Earth ecosystem will be severely damaged again. At that time, the decomposition rate of carbon dioxide will be greatly affected. If the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere The rise will lead to a series of unpredictable consequences such as the greenhouse effect, which is equivalent to dragging the already fragile ecosystem into a chronic suicide dilemma. The result will be more serious than allowing a swarm of giant insects to wreak havoc.

But then I thought again, if I just leave the insect swarm alone, wouldn't it be a slow suicide?

Ye Han was extremely sad and angry. This would not work, and that would not work. Does it mean that all human beings must die?

At this moment, Liu Bin suddenly shouted: "Captain, airdrop!"

Ye Han looked up and saw the fireball falling from the sky crashing into the forest not far away: "Take someone over to receive the equipment."

"Yes!" Liu Bin agreed and called the soldiers to rush into the woods.

Ye Han calmed down: "Consultant Li, if the superiors don't give us a plane, what will we do?"

"Chief of Staff Gao is communicating with Beidu."

Ye Han sighed: "Okay, then call me when there are results."

The communication was interrupted. Ye Han turned to look at the forest. The figures of the soldiers had been hidden by the dense vegetation. He thought for a moment and walked into the woods. He reached the end of the field in a short time.

The soldiers were distributing supplies and replacing batteries with each other. Even Luo Qi's group was there.

Liu Bin saw Ye Han and immediately brought a battery over: "Captain, let me put it on for you."

Ye Han turned around and Liu Bin skillfully replaced the battery. After the new battery was connected, the battery bar that was almost bottomed out quickly became full.

Just as the armor was restored, Ye Han heard Gao Kai's voice: "Ye Han, Ye Han, please answer after receiving it!"

Ye Han quickly replied: "I'm here, what's going on?"

"That's right, Beidu ordered you to join the US military and turn north."

"Ah? Where are the American troops?"

"It's at the entrance yesterday, about ten kilometers due east."

"I mean, they popped out of nowhere."

"Most of them came out yesterday, and some came out today. They have armored vehicles... That's about it." Gao Kai explained.

"Why are you going north again?" Ye Han asked again.

Flying is also heading north, and taking a car is also heading north. Why are they on top of each other?

"This is a bit complicated to explain." Gao Kai said, "You know the situation. The insect plague in Africa is much more serious than predicted before the war. The coalition's combat plan has been completely scrapped. The current situation is that the ant colony is swarming towards Morrobida. We don't know what the aliens want to do, but we can be sure that after the insect swarm occupies Morrobida, the next step will definitely be to continue to move north, cross the Sahara and then eat away at Europe."

"Can flying ants fly over the Sahara?" Ye Han was extremely surprised.

"Of course not." Gao Kai said, "Flying ants are definitely not that powerful. There is only one way to cross the Sahara..."

"Nile River!" Ye Han blurted out three words.

He didn't know much about North Africa. His impression was only that the winding Nile River went through the desert and reached the Mediterranean Sea.

"Yes, it's the Nile River." Gao Kai emphasized, "The ant colony must go north along the Nile River. The coalition decided to build a defense line on the Nile River to prevent the ant colony from going north. What you have to do is to go north as soon as possible... No, there is no need to go north. There are two options. One is to leave Morrobida as soon as possible and move northeast to reach the White Nile River in South Sudan, and then take the airdropped rubber boat downstream. The straight length of this road is more than 600 kilometers, but as long as you are fast enough, you can leave Morrobida before the flying ants."

"What else?"

"Also, go east. The White Nile River is more than 300 kilometers east, but the flying ants are flying from the east. We don't know how dangerous this thing is yet. It's too risky to go this way."

Ye Han squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Just go east!"

This weather is so hot that I'm almost dying.
