Chapter 227: Insect Oil
Shu Xingbei and others didn't say much. They were destined to be cannon fodder anyway, and there was no way they could escape. Now if they faced Jia Gensheng, they would die immediately. That guy was ruthless and would never give them the slightest chance to escape.
.
As for Shu Xingbei himself, he even took the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two Kuang brothers to get him to the front line.
After entering the city wall, I found that there were crowds of people inside, and no one was walking in a hurry. From time to time, I could hear their discussions, and they were talking about things on the battlefield ahead.
"Those damn bugs came out of nowhere, why can't they be exterminated?"
"Fortunately, the artillery fire was so fierce that they couldn't attack in groups. Otherwise, it would have been even more dangerous."
The people who spoke all looked nervous.
Jia Gensheng directed his men to take 199 people to the warehouse and let them get their weapons.
They are all cold weapons such as swords, spears, axes and forks, and shotguns are nowhere to be seen. Think about it, these people are from the outer sea. They are not welcomed by the forces on the Qianye Continent, so how can they be allowed to do so?
They got the gun. If the gun was turned around, wouldn't they have shot themselves in the foot?
Everyone picked up their own weapons, and Shu Xingbei was no exception. He picked up a spear.
After everyone had chosen their weapons, Jia Gensheng led them out and into the dining hall. Each person was provided with several portions of dry food, plus two bottles of water, which were placed in storage bags that had been prepared.
Shu Xingbei carried a waterproof storage bag on his back. After receiving another one, he didn't think it was too much and continued to carry it.
At this time, the middle-aged man who had chatted with him in the cabin came over to him again and said, "Brother, let's form a team later?"
"Okay," Shu Xingbei didn't refuse. Anyway, there are ten people in a team.
"My name is Ye Zheng," the man rolled his eyes, "I have a few brothers beside me. Do you think it's okay for everyone to follow you?"
Follow me? Do you want me to be the captain?
Shu Xingbei is a bit strange. Can you trust yourself so much when we first meet?
Although he is sure that he has the ability to lead a team.
Ye Zheng did not hide his purpose and pointed to the waterproof storage bag behind Shu Xingbei.
Being captured by the forces on the island, he was still able to keep his waterproof storage bag without being snatched away. This middle-aged man is not as simple as he seems.
The reason why Ye Zheng chose to chat with Shu Xingbei in the cabin was because of this.
At that time, Ye Zheng was still suspicious, thinking that the waterproof storage bag on Shu Xingbei's body was empty and the bulging bag was just an appearance. However, Shu Xingbei still carried it on his back, so Ye Zheng had to think more about it.
"My name is Nie Qingyun. Just ask them to come over," Shu Xingbei nodded slightly.
Ye Zheng looked happy, stretched out his hand to wave, and four people followed.
"We will follow Brother Nie Qingyun and let him lead us," Ye Zheng said to the other four people with deep meaning.
"Brother Nie," Ye Zheng seemed to be quite prestigious. As soon as he said this, the other four people greeted Shu Xingbei without hesitation, and they were all very polite.
Six people stood together.
Not only did they form a team early, but other people who knew each other also gathered together.
When Jia Gensheng ordered them to be divided into small teams, each team quickly formed its shape.
"Then I wish you all success," Jia Gensheng said. Although he didn't have any formal appearance, his face was serious at this time.
After all, going to the battlefield to kill insects is no joke. Jia Gensheng did not want this group of people to go to the battlefield and be wiped out immediately.
"After six hours, you can retreat. Before that, you have to keep charging forward," Jia Gensheng reminded everyone again, and then greeted the guards at the city gate to let them go.
Everyone filed out of the exit. When they officially arrived at the battlefield, what they saw was desolation.
Deep pits can be seen everywhere, and black blood stains can be seen everywhere on the dusty ground.
There is no vegetation at all, it is a completely gray world.
The deep pit was obviously blasted out by cannon fodder on the city wall, and inside it could be seen the remains of some green bugs, either trunks, long legs, or wings.
Shu Xingbei walked to a deep pit, picked up a piece of insect wing, and frowned.
The insect wings were longer than Xiaosi's body, and coupled with the insect body he had seen before, Shu Xingbei became more and more clear that these insects were even more powerful than Kuang Tianyi said.
While Shu Xingbei was looking at the insect wings, a team member named Tang Hu stretched out the spear in his hand and knocked on the insect's leg in the pit. With one blow, the sound of gold and stone was made.
"So hard?" Everyone in the team was shocked.
Although they haven't encountered bugs yet, they have already made an intuitive impression in the team members' minds: they must not be underestimated.
Of course, the specific abilities these bugs have and how powerful they are can only be verified after a head-to-head confrontation.
On the city wall, Peng Yuguang, the deputy captain of Team C of Lingfengtang, was looking at the team sent out to charge and kill insects with an indescribable expression on his face.
"Yu Guang, is it your turn to be on duty today?" A voice sounded behind Peng Yuguang.
Peng Yuguang turned around and saw that the person walking up was Jia Gensheng. He quickly bowed and saluted, "Yes. Captain Jia's actions were indeed fast enough. It didn't take long for the manpower to arrive."
Jia Gensheng sighed slightly, "It's getting harder and harder to find manpower. I folded a batch before the year, and not long after the new year, I folded another batch. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch them on the island below.
If there are enough outsiders, the resistance will get bigger and bigger later.”
At this time, Jia Gensheng's face showed no lust at all, and there was indescribable worry on his small face.
"There is nothing we can do about it. In the early stage, our own people rushed up, but we suffered heavy casualties? Just relying on brute force to fight, there will always be fish that slip through the net," Peng Yuguang was also helpless.
When these bugs first appeared, they did not attract the attention of various forces in Chiba Continent.
But those bugs that appeared out of nowhere eat the crops so quickly that no grass grows wherever they go.
Although it was only less than one centimeter, the body of the locust-sized bug actually changed after it was full. Not only did it grow bigger and bigger, its attack power also became stronger and stronger. The two legs at the back were as hard as iron.
Come, like two daggers, if you don't pay attention, you will suffer big losses when fighting against the enemy.
By the time the mainland forces realized something was wrong, the damn bugs had already killed many ordinary people. After they killed people, they didn't just ignore them, but instead ate them.
Even the grass-eating cattle and sheep were brutally killed and dismembered by insects after they were encountered, and then feasted on them.
The major forces joined forces to build defensive walls, add artillery, and fuel bombs to eliminate batches of bugs, thus blocking the large-scale invasion of bugs.
However, under the guns, there are bound to be fish that slip through the net.
Those bugs that slipped through the net are still as ferocious as ever, and their fecundity is even more astonishing.
Today I see one, tomorrow there are ten, and the day after tomorrow there are hundreds.
Therefore, after each round of gunfire, the major forces sent insecticide teams, armed with weapons, to the open battlefield outside the city wall to look for those bugs that had slipped through the net and kill them.
Those remaining bugs are not as expected to be killed one by one. On the contrary, not only are they not easily hunted, but they have become smarter. They will hide from the searching teams and wait for the opportunity to catch them.
When you reach the fighter plane, you will immediately show your fangs.
The insect-hunting teams from all the major forces suffered heavy casualties, so they sent out more manpower. They felt really reluctant to give up, so they targeted those people from the outer sea.
After all, those who died were not one of their own, and on the contrary, it would reduce the trouble on the subordinate islands below. Therefore, the major forces did not feel sorry for the loss of personnel. Once those people were sent to the battlefield, they would immediately blow the whistle.
This kind of whistle sound is made by the researchers of Spear Company using the principle of bionics to simulate the call of bugs out foraging. As long as the iron whistle is blown, the horns arranged in the entire battlefield can sound at the same time.
Those hidden bugs will reveal themselves.
When they can't find anything to eat in the open land, they will naturally turn their attention to the humans who come to hunt them.
Unexpectedly, after sending two teams in succession, all the personnel sent by Lingfengtang were wiped out, and no one came back alive.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
As for the other three forces, the situation is also not optimistic.
This is why when Cheng Yongsheng learned that there were too many ships and people behind the Ark, he did not hesitate to order Zhao Shangzhi to return immediately.
With so many personnel at the rear of the Ark, there is no need to consider the personnel sent to the battlefield in the future.
Lingfengtang connived at the outlying islands to arrest people from overseas, and so did other forces. Although they did not negotiate together, their actions were surprisingly consistent, as if they had a natural tacit understanding.
"Have the other three companies taken any action?" Jia Gensheng asked.
"We are waiting for news from them. Once they send people in, we will blow the whistle immediately," Peng Yuguang replied.
"Okay," Jia Gensheng casually glanced at the battlefield. He was slightly startled, "What is that team doing?"
Where Jia Gensheng looked, he saw Shu Xingbei's team.
Near the deep pit, Shu Xingbei used his mind to contact Sea Ant Xiaosi, asking him to quickly move away from here and stay on the other side of the city wall. Based on intuition, Shu Xingbei could also judge the height at which those insects could fly, and it was definitely higher than
Three meters.
If Xiao Si stays here, there will be danger.
He then asked the team members to pick up the insect remains and take out the lighter from the bag.
"Captain Nie, you can't burn a living corpse," Ye Zheng saw Shu Xingbei's thoughts and came over and said.
Shu Xingbei pointed at the bulging belly of the insect, "I'm going to do an experiment."
As he spoke, he picked up the spear on the ground and stabbed open the belly of the insect.
A ball of greasy entrails tumbled out.
Shu Xingbei lit the lighter and raised the flame.
The awning creaked, and a handful of flames burst out.
