Four Hundred and Fifty Sixth Situation

In the blink of an eye, it was July, and the number of giant insects rebounded strongly across the country, and the losses caused by the insect disasters skyrocketed. Despite the best efforts of the military, more than 100,000 people died of giant insects every day.

However, giant worms have always had the characteristics of being numerous and fighting alone. Although the country gathers clusters as much as possible for protection, there are so many mouths waiting to eat in the country. In order to obtain food, all places have to bear the pressure of giant worms. Raiding, planting food at the cost of human life, and protecting agriculture and food are also the most important responsibilities of the army at this stage.

The food quotas in various places have dropped again and again, and have fallen to the point where they can only survive. There are endless criminal incidents of food robbery. In the news, there are even cases of fleeing into the mountains and feeding on insect trees.

If the country hadn't listed food as a strategic material and strictly controlled it, the situation would have been ten or a hundred times more serious!

The great famine has begun to appear, but the whole world is troubled by the pest plague.

Although July is the summer harvest season, more than half of April is in the asteroid impact period. The sown area of ​​wheat and early rice in the country is less than half of that of previous years, and the highest harvested area is half of the sown area.

Moreover, both fertilizer and water are affected by the general environment, and the yield per mu is inevitable. It is estimated that the summer grain yield will only be about a quarter of that of previous years.

However, even if it is only a quarter of previous years, it will solve the urgent need of the northern capital.

Not only was the food problem a headache for Beijing, but the country's finances had also reached its limit. Even the military's weapons and equipment were faulty, and they had to shrink their defenses and improve their offense to defense.

In other words, the situation of human beings against giant worms has changed from an active strategic offensive to a retreating strategic defense.

The foundation accumulated decades ago has been consumed in nearly a year, and the production of the military industry department cannot meet the consumption of the whole country.

It's not that the factory is unwilling to produce, but that the raw materials are really not available!

Although the country’s comprehensive implementation of the rationing system makes coins as cheap as dung, even if they don’t understand the truth of the national crisis, at least they understand the situation. There are not a few people who are conscious. However, the severe situation has an impact on industrial and mining enterprises, especially resource-based enterprises. great.

The lack of materials eventually led to a change in the strategic situation, and Beijing had to start thinking about how to restore the production of key industries, even if it was only part of it.

Beidu tried its best to maintain the domestic situation, looking forward to the early growth of the ant colony and sharing the pressure of human beings to resist the biochemical giant insects.

The military deployed nearly a thousand ant queens all over the country, but only four large ant colonies formed in the end, and there were more than a dozen small ant colonies struggling under the pressure of giant insects.

The only good news is that the ant colony in Beibang has already moved north under the guidance of the military. The combat effectiveness of a single giant ant is indeed inferior to that of biochemical giant insects, but giant ants are currently the only social giant insects. Taking advantage of the coming advantages, the ant colony strongly suppressed the biochemical giant worms in the north.

The military not only relied on giant ants to regain most of Linzhou, but also relied on the confusion of pheromones to successfully sow large areas in the ant-occupied areas and expand the output of autumn grain.

After hearing the news, the people of Jingjiang were all filled with emotion.

Jingjiang was abandoned last year because of giant ants, but now it is necessary to use giant ants to recover Linzhou and even the country. How can it not be embarrassing?

The military also feels the same way. A year ago, the military was struggling with the giant ants, but now the giant ants have become human amulets.

If it weren't for the limited number of giant ants, the current ant-occupied area has reached the limit of expansion, and the northern capital might order the military to drive out the giant ants and regain the country.

What happened in China is just a microcosm of the impact of global pest plagues, and the situation abroad is even worse. There are endless reports of pest plagues all over the world, and the armies of various countries are struggling to cope.

Many countries that tried their best to survive the first wave of insect plagues fell helplessly in the face of more violent insect plagues. The government could not effectively perform its duties, and the people were not protected by the army.

Finally followed in the footsteps of Africa.

Most of the fallen countries are located in underdeveloped areas, or simply island countries in the Pacific Ocean. The relatively closed environment is extremely vulnerable to the attack of giant insects.

Although some areas have not been attacked by biochemical giants on a large scale, the famine has broken out for a long time, and the governments of various countries are also powerless because of the global food shortage. Human tragedy.

In contrast, the people who still have food to eat are very lucky.

In order to save food, countries all over the world are expelling foreigners in their territories. Due to inconvenient transportation, most people cannot leave the country where they live, and countless people died of hunger.

The social situation that could barely be maintained not long ago has declined in an all-round way, and there is a tendency to continue to collapse. The doomsday theory is on the rise. In July alone, more than ten terrorist attacks instigated by doomsday sects occurred around the world, causing nearly a thousand casualties.

Of course, not all areas are plagued by pests. North African deserts, Middle Eastern deserts and other areas lacking natural resources are naturally immune to pests.

The desert is not without insects. Beetles and scorpions are natives of the desert, and there have been cases of giants, but the barren desert cannot support the growth of giant insects. Before the giant insects grow up, they will starve to death.

As for the oasis...sorry, that is the territory of humans. It is a miracle to feed a giant worm in an environment like the desert. It is impossible to form a large-scale swarm. Any giant worm that appears in the oasis will be mercilessly attacked by humans. wipe out.

The desert is currently the only area on earth that does not need to worry about swarms of insects. Many people try to enter the desert to live, but the ecology of the oasis is very fragile and cannot withstand the large-scale entry of humans.

In order to protect their own interests, the desert country does not allow outsiders to enter at all, and even local wars at the national level have occurred because of this, making the human world that is already shrouded in the shadow of insect plagues even more chaotic.

This summer is destined to be a busy season.

Under such circumstances, the case of China successfully using giant ants to expel biochemical giant worms is the only bright spot in the world. All countries that have a way have begun to think about how to use giant ants to contain giant worms, and have contacted China, hoping to obtain ant queen.

The North doesn't want to send giant ants in vain, but the pest plagues around the world are of no benefit to China. However, these countries that ask for help are so poor that they are almost like pants, and they can't exchange anything for the queen.

But it doesn't matter, there are no materials and resources, isn't it!
