Chapter 413 Traceability

Fighters can carry out ultra-long-range fixed-point strikes against relevant monsters. As long as the sickle monster dares to show its head, a missile or a series of energy bombs will be thrown down.

Although the two-meter-tall sickle monster attacks fiercely, its defense is very poor and it will basically die if it is hit.

There is no good way to get a super-fast fighter, and the corrosive acid is a bit poor in both range and ballistic speed.

Coupled with the large number of mechas coming over, the monster's offensive and spread speed were quickly curbed again.

But these monster scythes are not stupid either. They seem to know that they are defeated, and those who survive will not continue to wander outside and move the battlefield to the building.

With the protection of the buildings, the fighter planes had nothing to do with them, and the situation began to reach a stalemate.

Even if there is no direct picture evidence at this point, we can still determine the connection between these carapace monsters and the sickle monster.

Although I don't know the specific reason, it is probably that every time it bites a person, the size of the carapace monster will become a little larger. After reaching a certain level, it will form a qualitative change, which is the kind of sickle monster.

Chuxue didn't see the process, so she didn't know whether it was hatching, splitting, or some messy evolution, but it was definitely like this.

Otherwise, there is no reason why every time the carapace monster hides in the shadows, a scythe monster will soon appear. That would be too much of a coincidence...

If it continues like this, the fighter planes can suppress the battlefield, and the consequences may not be so serious.

However, the hatching speed of monsters is too fast, especially the carapace monsters.

The urban population is so large that it is simply a hotbed for their incubation, with the number increasing by dozens every second.

After reaching a certain number, these monsters turn into sickle monsters. Repeating this process, the number of sickle monsters reaches terrifying thousands or even tens of thousands.

You must know that the regular mecha reserves of the Wanli City Police Force are only a few thousand. Even if you include those owned by ordinary pilots or those who use them in their professional work, the number does not exceed 20,000.

If it were a head-on confrontation, with an air strike from fighter planes, we might be able to win.

But this is in a city, and all kinds of narrow streets and buildings are beneficial to monsters, but mechas are quite a hindrance.

Moreover, the ammunition of the fighter planes is not unlimited. Each plane basically stops firing after killing dozens of sickle monsters, and has to return to the guard headquarters for replenishment.

Going back and forth, a lot of time was wasted. By the time they came out fully loaded with ammunition, the invasion range of the monsters had expanded again, and their number had increased tenfold.

It's useless to have more ammunition now, the number of sickle monsters has increased.

At least judging from the surveillance footage, the overall situation has changed from being rare before to being everywhere.

The mechas of the security team also changed from looking for sickle monsters to fight everywhere to being surrounded and beaten by sickle monsters.

As each mecha fell, the situation in Wanli City could no longer be controlled. Only the headquarters and branches of the police force or a few areas where the curtain could be opened were temporary pure lands.

Because these monsters still lack effective means of attack, as long as the building is hard enough, not made entirely of alloy materials, and does not react violently with the corrosive acid, they can resist for a long time.

But all resistance without follow-up support is meaningless. No matter how thick the particle shield is, it will be shattered after being surrounded for several weeks.

The ending of Wanli City was the same. After a few weeks of hard work, it fell completely.

There were no mechas to be seen on the street, and there were no crowds escaping in a hurry, only densely packed monster figures.

People can only hide in various high-rise buildings or secret places, trembling and praying that they will not be found.

This is also the main reason why the casualties in the entire city exceed one-third. There is no way to resist, you can only be beaten, and you will die if you encounter them.

At the speed of the monsters' assimilation and advancement, if left alone, it would not take more than a day to conquer a small city with a population of several million.

Even in large cities, it only takes a few days.

It is estimated that it would take several months to destroy the entire planet with a single-point explosion. It would be faster with multiple points of explosion, and it is estimated that it would only take a few weeks.

In addition, the monsters use corpses to the extreme.

Even if you are killed by the sickle monster and turned into a corpse, the carapace monster will still bite it and hatch new carapace monsters.

This is outrageous. The more people there are, the more monsters there will be in the end.

In addition, the hatching time of monsters is completely uncertain, some are thirty seconds, and some are several minutes.

And after the human body is parasitized, it will not fall to the ground immediately, but it can still act like a normal person until the monster gives the hatching command.

Chuxue saw from a surveillance video that a person was clearly bitten by a monster, and he ran like a normal person for more than ten minutes, followed the crowd into the building, and then hatched, until he parasitized everyone on the site.

This is why the police tried to protect the crowd inside the building and only guarded the door, but monsters still breed.

Without being able to tell whether the human body is parasitized or not, all protection is in vain. Maybe what is being protected is a monster, which is impossible to prevent...

Originally, based on the situation in Wanli City, the whole situation was bound to fall and then spread to other cities.

Fortunately, the request for help sent out by the Wanli City Police Headquarters was timely enough, and the surrounding cities responded quickly enough, arriving overnight.

They also learned from the experience gained from the previous combat reports of the security team members and used the monster's weaknesses to counterattack.

As explosive bombs are thrown into the places with the largest number of monsters, most of the monsters on the street will be cleared away, weakening the momentum of the monsters, and then the powerful mecha teams will be used to cover each other and advance, clearing each building.

When the reinforcements arrived, the number of monsters was only a few hundred thousand, scattered throughout the city.

The more than 100,000 mechas that came to support were gathered together and pushed towards the center from all sides, making it very easy to fight.

Monsters can do a lot of damage to the human body, but for these two types, their effects are still limited in the face of a well-prepared body craze.

So it only took a few weeks for the supporting mechas to quickly take back the area occupied by the monsters and complete a comprehensive cleanup.

Including sewers and various hidden corners, they will inspect them in the follow-up time.

The monster is gone, but the damage caused is irreversible. The total number of burned corpses of Homo sapiens and monsters is close to one million, and even the air is filled with foul-smelling black powder.

The entire city was completely paralyzed, and millions of injured people had nowhere to deal with it. Many people even died because they did not receive timely treatment.

Various buildings and magnetic vehicles suffered devastating blows. After all, mechas cannot take care of these when fighting monsters.

No one expected that the originally peaceful small city with a population of eight million would turn into an almost ruined existence after just one night.

After Chuxue arrived, she spent as much as a month looking for and watching videos.

After all, surveillance in Wanli City is still completely widespread. There are many places to look at, and sometimes you have to slow down, which is very time-consuming.

There is nothing we can do about it, because the disaster has passed, and the best way to understand the monster directly is through the previous videos.

The harvest is still very great. Many questions have been solved. I know the characteristics of the two monsters. The cause, process and result of the incident have also been clarified.

But a new question also arises. How did the middle-aged man become parasitized in the first place?

According to the information that has been obtained, monsters need to be parasitic in the human body before more monsters will hatch.

After all, it was the middle-aged man who created the first wave of monsters and caused the disaster.

Before the middle-aged man, there was a monster, but it was not discovered.

If it was the second type, where was the monster that bit the middle-aged man? Why didn't it come out to cause trouble?

The way to identify it is also very simple, just to see if there are any wounds on the middle-aged man's body.

If you have it, you have been bitten beforehand. If you don't have it, you have brought your own monster.

It would be even scarier if there were no wounds, and it would involve the question of why a middle-aged man carries a monster.

It's just that it's impossible to identify it through the corpse.

Because not only the bodies of middle-aged men, but also the bodies of those who died in the disaster could not be found.

Either the monster absorbs nutrients and becomes a mummy, or it is burned to ashes.

It is unrealistic to judge the wound by just relying on the video. The main reason is that the place bitten by the monster will not be obvious and may be under the clothes.

Therefore, we can only trace the source through video to see where the middle-aged man's problem occurred.

This step is very critical, as it can directly find the source of the problem, or the source of the disaster.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to observe a person's every move through surveillance video, and there are many places that cannot be seen by surveillance.

As a result, Chuxue could only come step by step, starting from the middle-aged man driving into the parking lot and following the surveillance camera.

Including what routes the middle-aged man took, where he went before, how long he stayed, who he came into contact with, etc.

However, during tracing the origin, Chuxue discovered that the middle-aged man never got off the car on the highway and drove all the way from Huajing City, the capital next door.

After obtaining the surveillance authority of Huajing City, we can see that the middle-aged man has not left his residence for several days, as if he has been staying in his room.

He didn't leave until more than ten hours before the incident and went directly to the garage for driving.

From the monitoring of this period, we can see that middle-aged men are not much different from normal people, and there is still no accurate answer to the question.

The most suspicious thing is the middle-aged man’s home. What has he been doing at home these days?

Now Chuxue is on his way to the middle-aged man's house. The transport plane can only reach the interstellar airport, which is still some distance away from the destination.

Compared with the chaos in Wanli City, Huajing City, as the capital, is peaceful.

Even though the disaster happened right next door, this place was not affected at all.

Because the news is still completely blocked, we are afraid of causing unnecessary panic.

This is also to protect the surrounding cities. After all, no one is sure whether there are really no monsters in Wanli City and the surrounding areas.

Until Chuxue completes tracing the source and figures out the cause, everything can return to normal.

"Sir, are you thinking about the monster?" A soft female voice suddenly came from inside the quiet magnetic energy car.

The source came from the cab, a girl holding the steering column.
