One Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety-Five Insects Approach the City

$1695 The insect is at the gate of the city

Late at night, dark clouds covered the sky, and the night wind blew, and the weeds more than one person tall swayed in the wind.

A clump of weeds suddenly moved against the wind. I don’t know what was there. After a while, a giant beetle more than three meters long came out of the grass and climbed onto the overgrown highway in a few steps.

The highway has been abandoned for a long time. The cracked road surface collapsed everywhere, and there were weeds everywhere. There were also many rusted vehicles parked, and some of the vehicles could still see the pale skeletons.

The giant beetle that climbed onto the highway seemed to be a road idiot. It turned around on the cracked road surface for several times but couldn’t find the direction. It accidentally hit a car on the side of the road with only the frame left. It made a dull muffled sound, and the skeleton in the car immediately fell down and scattered into a pile.

The giant beetle outside the car was angry and retreated a few steps, then slammed into the car. The fragile frame was severely deformed in the collision, and it turned out of the road with a harsh friction sound and flowed under the roadbed.

At this time, several giant beetles emerged from under the road. After climbing onto the road, they immediately headed south along the road... More and more giant beetles climbed onto the road, and soon they formed a torrent heading south. The giant beetle that couldn't find its direction finally knew where to go and happily followed its companion.

A flash of lightning tore through the sky, and a brief light illuminated the earth. To the south, a city hidden in the darkness loomed.

At the same time, the Funing City Command Center was quiet, and several duty personnel were sleepy and tired, sitting in their respective positions and dozing off.

Most of the screens were as calm as usual, except for a few flashing red dots on the screen in front of a duty officer.

No one noticed the abnormality on the screen, and the duty officer was still dozing off in a half-awake state.

At this time, the red dots on the screen increased rapidly, finally exceeding the limit, and the piercing alarm sounded instantly through the sky.

The duty officers jumped up, no longer feeling sleepy, and their alert eyes quickly swept across their respective screens to find the source of the alarm.

The duty officer in charge of the north direction shouted loudly: "Here, a swarm of insects has been found in the north direction!"

The foreman shouted: "Quick, report to the commander, notify the troops, and prepare for battle!"

The high-pitched alarm sounded throughout the city in an instant. The city, which was silent in the darkness, seemed to be awakened by the alarm. A large number of halogen lamps were lit on the fortresses. At first, the lights were a little dim, but after a while, the lights became extremely bright, illuminating the streets and buildings in the city.

The soldiers who woke up from their sleep grabbed their weapons and rushed to their respective positions in the shortest time to prepare for the enemy... They didn't know how many times they had done similar exercises. At this moment, many people still thought that this time was just an exercise like before.

However, commanders at all levels soon received notifications from designated units, and then the radio throughout the city sounded: "A large group of giant insects has been approaching from the north direction. This is not an exercise. Pay attention, this is not an exercise!"

The soldiers immediately became nervous, especially the troops responsible for guarding the north direction. The swords were unsheathed and the arrows were strung. The nervous mood quickly spread.

In Beiyuezhou, Wu Han, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by his secretary and hurried to the command center.

The main screen had been changed to an electronic map of the area near Funing City. After Wu Han arrived, he immediately signaled the operational staff to start.

The operations staff pointed at the screen and said: "Commendates, seven minutes ago, a group of giant insects were found in the north of Funing. The swarm is currently heading towards Funing City and is expected to make contact in twelve minutes... Currently, the weather over Funing City is bad.

There are no satellite images for the time being, but we have discovered through satellite remote sensing that there are far more swarms of insects around Funing City than this one."

At this point, the operations staff clicked on the map a few times: "In addition to the north direction, there are swarms of insects in the northwest, west and southwest directions. With the current advanced direction and speed of the swarms, these swarms should arrive in the Funing area in the near future."

"Funing is close to the sea on the east side and is connected to a shallow lake formed by rising sea levels in the west, which is naturally not conducive to the movement of swarms. Therefore, the swarm can only attack from the north or south. Judging from the current situation, the north should be the main attack direction of the swarm."

After the operations staff finished speaking, he immediately stepped aside.

Wu Han had a serious expression: "Choosing this time to cause trouble, the enemy is coming with bad intentions!"

"The warships have all been transferred away. If we miss this opportunity, we will never get it back again." The chief of staff who also rushed over said.

Wu Han nodded slightly, pointed to the screen and asked: "Is it only Funing?"

"There is only Funing in China." The operations staff replied.

Wu Han raised his eyebrows: "Are there any more abroad?"

The operations staff nodded: "It has been confirmed that there are three cities in the United States, four in Europe, and two each in India and the Middle East...all coastal cities."

Wu Han said: "Attacking so many cities at the same time must have been planned for a long time. Maybe it's revenge for destroying those submarine bases!"

Since destroying the submarine base, the aliens have been looking for opportunities for revenge. For two whole months, ships from various countries have been tracked by alien warships for more than 300 times, attacked dozens of times, destroyed three surface ships, and more than ten other ships.

Although there is no evidence that these attacks are related to the submarine base, everyone believes that this series of actions is revenge by aliens.

Nowadays, all ships that can go out to sea are controlled by the military of various countries. They are either equipped with anti-submarine equipment or escorted by warships. The speed of the ships themselves is also not slow. Otherwise, the number of ships lost by humans would definitely be more than this.

Now, destroying a few warships can no longer satisfy the aliens' desire for revenge. Their eyes have shifted from the ocean to the land.

The chief of staff said: "It is very likely that such a large scale and involving so many areas are the first time since the enemy and us fought. I think this battle will be difficult to fight... It is January now, and a large number of giant insects have migrated south. The density of the southern insect swarm has more than doubled. With so many insects, it is no problem to attack several cities at the same time... The enemy's attack on Funing is likely to be a bluff. We must be prepared for the enemy to attack more cities."

Wu Han was silent for a moment: "Let's wait and see."

The fortress cities were built with the same standards, and various plans have been prepared long ago. The troops guarding the fortress cities have no idea how many times they have exercised. The improvements that should be made have been made long ago, and even without command, the guarding troops can do a good job.

So whether it is Beidu or Beiyuezhou, they can't give Funing any useful guidance.

The chief of staff looked at the screen and thought: "What is the density of the Zerg? Is it worth using nuclear weapons?"

The density of the Zerg heading south is extremely low, let alone nuclear weapons, even artillery coverage is not worth it, but the Zerg must gather its forces before attacking the city, which is definitely a good opportunity to use nuclear weapons.
