Chapter 171 The First Battle

At this time, Bai Yinghui and a group of generals also arrived on the northern city wall.

When they saw that the powerful insecticidal water failed to kill any mutated insects, although they had expected it, their hearts still sank.

"How much reserve do we have of the second-generation powerful insecticidal water?" Bai Yinghui couldn't help but asked the chief of staff beside him.

"The production process of the second-generation powerful insecticidal water is too complicated, and it also requires a lot of mutated plants containing toxins as raw materials, so we only made about 200 kilograms of it in a hurry and can only use it in key places." Simple.

He said with a sigh.

"Based on the resistance of these mutated insects to insecticidal water, based on your estimate, how many mutated insects can be killed by 200 pounds of second-generation powerful insecticidal water?" Bai Yinghui asked with a frown.

"According to the deduction from the staff department, the maximum is no more than 2 million." Jian Jian replied.

Bai Yinghui couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing this. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has been developing the second generation insecticide water for a long time.

But because the production process is too complicated, it has been perfected.

When the third spiritual energy resurgence occurred and large-scale second-order mutated insects appeared, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also knew that it could not wait any longer and had no choice but to make public the method of making the second-generation powerful insecticidal water that had not yet been perfected.

After getting the formula in Yangcheng City, Bai Yinghui immediately ordered it to be made, but unfortunately it took ten days to come up with this little bit.

Moreover, not only is the production process of this product complicated, but the cost is also a bit high. Basically, one kilogram of the second-generation powerful insecticidal water requires a full 100,000 Chinese coins.

In the current situation of tight funds, he simply does not dare to mass-produce.

"Then pass the order and distribute the second generation powerful insecticidal water to each rescue team. I hope they can exert their due effect." After Bai Yinghui said to Jian Hua, his attention returned to the battlefield in front of him again.

.

At this time, those at the forefront of the mutated insect army had passed through the coverage area of ​​the powerful insecticidal water and were about to approach within 50 meters of the city wall.

On the city wall, soldiers holding flamethrowers were already in full position. When these mutated insects entered the 50-meter flamethrowing range, they pulled the triggers without hesitation.

In an instant, long tongues of flame shot out from the nozzle, covering the army of mutated insects that were advancing below.

And this time not only flamethrowers were used, but incendiary bottles filled with kerosene were also thrown down by the soldiers above. Almost instantly, the area below the city wall turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The mutated insects that rushed forward were swallowed up by the sea of ​​fire almost instantly.

Even if these mutated insects have reached the second level, some mutated insects with strong defense are even more difficult to be harmed by swords.

However, they are carbon-based life forms after all. Under the burning of the flames, even their toughest shells are quickly becoming charred, twisted, and cracked, and their life breath is also weakening at an extremely fast speed.

However, these mutated insects will not sit still and wait to be burned alive.

Some of them were moving very fast, trying to rush through the sea of ​​fire as quickly as possible and rush to the city wall.

But more often than not, they are rolling around on the ground based on animal instinct, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

Under normal circumstances, if their bodies were exposed to fire oil, it would be unrealistic to rely on rolling to extinguish the flames.

But the problem is, outside the city wall is the wilderness. These are second-order mutant insects. Even if they are only the size of a fist, they can explode with dozens of kilograms of power.

As they rolled desperately, even burrowing into the ground, sand and gravel suddenly flew everywhere, and mud filled the sky.

The silt covering the body actually extinguished the flames on the body very quickly.

And not only that, as they turned over the soil, the sea of ​​​​fire that was still burning was also extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The unexpected scene in front of him made Bai Yinghui twitch the corner of his mouth and his face gradually turned ugly.

Because this not only means that they need to consume more fuel to maintain this sea of ​​​​fire, but the power will also be reduced a lot.

"Damn it! Why didn't we think of this before? If we had known, we would have covered this area with cement to see how they could drill." Bai Yinghui gritted his teeth and said.

Jian Yi was silent on the side. How big of a project is this?

Even if they knew it in advance, they probably wouldn't do it. Wouldn't it be nice to raise the city wall another two to three meters?

More importantly, as the soldiers reacted and threw in more Molotov cocktails, the sea of ​​​​fire could still be maintained.

However, the power reduction is inevitable, and with the previous mutant insects as examples, the mutant insects that come later will burrow into the ground. Basically, they will choose to burrow into the ground, and the effect they can achieve will be even lower.

But even so, nearly one-third of the mutated insects were directly burned to death when passing through this sea of ​​fire.

And even if they were not burned to death on the spot, they were first eroded by the toxins of powerful insecticidal water and then burned. Their physical condition has declined greatly, and it is hard to say whether they are even half of what they were before.

However, they still failed to attack the city wall because there was still one last hurdle.

When these mutated insects approached 10 meters away from the city wall, grenades were thrown from the city wall one after another.

Boom boom boom boom!

Intensive roars sounded one after another.

Each grenade can kill a large area of ​​mutated insects.

After the insecticide spraying, flame burning, and the last round of grenade bombing, the number of mutated insects that finally came to the city wall was only 30% of the original number at most.

Moreover, their combat effectiveness has been weakened by half.

This is the benefit of positional warfare. Only in positional warfare can human weapons be brought into full play.

After the mutated insects reach the city wall, they are not able to attack.

They also have to climb up this wall, which is 5 meters high.

When the city wall was built, in order to prevent these mutated insects from climbing, the outer wall was not only vertical, but also quite smooth. At least there were no gaps on the surface of the wall for climbing.

However, these mutated insects are indeed amazing. As their legs or claws mutate, they will become very sharp and can actually be inserted directly into walls filled with cement.

Although their sharp claws can only penetrate about a millimeter or two into the wall, it is enough to support the weight of their bodies and climb up quickly.

But how could the soldiers above just watch them climb up? They immediately raised their guns, took aim, and pulled the triggers.

Chuchuchu!

In an instant, the barrage of bullets swept downwards.

Especially above the city wall, machine guns were placed every 5 meters, and the firepower was even more fierce at this time.

It is worth mentioning that the bases of these machine guns are specially set up. The people above can directly push the machine gun out, and then point the muzzle downward at a 90-degree vertical position, specifically for shooting climbing mutant insects.

.

Under the ferocious firepower, the climbing mutant insects suddenly fell like raindrops.

These mutated insects, even beetles with relatively strong defenses, cannot withstand the attack of bullets and will be penetrated and killed in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh. If the military had time to prepare more than ten days ago, the mutant biological crisis would not have had much impact at all.

"However, this time of mutant biological crisis, there are many types of insects. It is probably impossible to completely resist it with this method alone." Ye Feng murmured softly.

Not long after he finished speaking, he saw three mutant stick insects on a section of the city wall more than 300 meters away from him, climbing extremely fast.

The 5-meter city wall is actually not very high. For these mutated insects, it takes only ten seconds to climb up, and it takes seven or eight seconds to climb up quickly.

The three mutant stick insects that Ye Feng observed seemed to be much stronger than the same kind. It took them just three seconds to climb the 5-meter city wall.

He immediately launched an attack on the nearest soldier.

Those attacked by them were all new soldiers. They were obviously a little panicked at this time. They quickly drew out their machetes and attacked the mutated stick insects.

But how can these three mutated stick insects that have passed through many difficulties and reached the city wall be so easy to deal with.

Except for one soldier who hit the stick insect, the attacks of the other two soldiers failed, and they also suffered counterattacks from the mutated stick insect. A long gash was opened in their combat uniforms in an instant.

.

If the nearest veteran hadn't come over to help immediately, I'm afraid the two new recruits would have defeated the mutated stick insect and suffered serious trauma themselves.

Although the three mutant stick insects were successfully solved in the end, it still took more than ten seconds.

At this time, more mutated insects had already climbed up.

However, the military had already anticipated this situation. A battalion commander in charge of this section of the front immediately asked the reserve team to go up and suppress the fire, so no major problems occurred.

However, there is more than one place where this kind of thing happens.

Ye Feng looked to the other side, and there were two mutated scarabs coming to the bottom of the city wall.

They don't need to climb at all, they directly open the wings hidden under the carapace, and fly upwards quickly after flapping.

And further away, there is a group of mutated crickets. They don't need to climb the city wall. They kick the ground with their powerful hind legs and jump over a height of 5 meters to reach the top of the city wall.

Suddenly, many places in this section of the city wall were attacked by mutated insects.

Although such an attack was quickly resolved, it also left a layer of haze in everyone's mind.

Because facing these second-level mutated insects, ordinary soldiers really don't have much advantage in terms of physical fitness. Even if they don't have weapons and protective clothing, it's hard to say whether they can win a one-on-one fight.

Ye Feng watched for a while on the city wall and saw that the military did not use any more methods. He also understood that the other party was probably training troops. If there were no accidents, he would probably maintain this state for the time being, so he closed his eyes and rested.

Got up.

Of course, Ye Feng had actually switched the possessed state to his body, and then took out his mobile phone to check the news online.

The third-level mutated creatures under him were all invited to sit there. In the wartime state, it was not convenient for Ye Feng to possess them and fly around at will.

In this case, you can get more and more comprehensive information by using your mobile phone to surf the Internet.

When Ye Feng opened the software, all kinds of information popped up without him having to query it. Many of them were short videos taken by the residents themselves, especially those near the city wall.
