"General... it could appear in any city. : "
This was a place called the War Hall. The general of the Void people and a group of its subordinates were solemnly looking at the three-dimensional image displayed in the center of the hall.
There were quite a number of red dots in the image. The positions of these red dots were not densely packed but were very scattered.
In fact, most of them represented the locations of many coastal cities. The coastal cities with red dots were obviously places that had been attacked.
Now, the new war had been going on for some time...
After the deep-sea behemoth raided the first city, it released a large amount of fungal dust to infect the city. However, it did not go too deep into the city. Instead, it retreated into the sea before the air force of the Void people arrived.
After that, it did not appear on the coast again. It seemed to have hidden in the deep sea. When the general sent out the submarine force to search for it, they received news that another city had been attacked.
Now, the general knew the plan of the behemoth... it did not intend to go deep into the land at all. Instead, it used its advantage in the sea to repeatedly attack coastal cities everywhere.
After all, on land, its huge body could be said to be a live target for the air force. However, it was different in the water. The submarine could not catch up with it at all and it was difficult to grasp its position. Therefore, it was impossible to know which city it would appear in next.
Moreover, the army also had to deal with the infected city. Just like before, once a large-scale fungal infection appeared in a city, it meant that the city was almost hopeless.
All the citizens had to evacuate the city quickly. These fungi were not easy to deal with. They seemed to have become stronger and would often adhere to the aircraft that carried the citizens away.
Moreover, they also created a large number of infected Void people in a short time. These infected Void people were more powerful than before.
In the movies of the Void people, there were often stories of Void people being infected by various viruses and then biting their own kind.
However, most of the infected people in the movies moved slowly. The fungus-infected Void people were different. They could run at a speed that could catch up with vehicles. They could also crawl on walls like arthropods. If they were killed by ordinary means, they would burst out a large amount of fungal dust.
Even without the behemoth, just dealing with the fungus and these infected people was quite troublesome. Moreover, the behemoth had begun to swim to other cities to attack.
"What should we do..."
In the face of this situation, the General found that it had no way to deal with it. The Giant Beast had continuously ambushed several cities, and now the fungus in those cities had begun to spread wildly.
Now, could it be that all the residents of the coastal cities had to squeeze in? Or build a large number of defense facilities on the coasts of every city?
The first was not an easy task for the large population of Void Dwellers. And the second one wouldn't be completed so quickly … Furthermore, it was hard for the general to say what level of defense he had against the giant beast.
Now, every city had a defensive force. They would attack the Giant Beast when it came out, and each time, they would be able to cause some damage to it.
However, if it reappeared after the giant beast retreated, its injuries would definitely be completely healed, and it would always retreat before it suffered too much damage.
Therefore, the general felt that … they should use a more direct method to solve the problem.
That was, the moment it came ashore, he would use a huge amount of firepower to completely destroy it.
However, this seemed to be a little difficult.
This was because according to research, the shell of the Behemoth was made of extremely sturdy scales. Its defensive performance was already stronger than the alloy made with the latest technology.
And this was only the outer layer. According to the research report, the inner layer under the scales had more protection, which made it difficult for most of the current models of missiles to cause effective damage to it.
Unless a large number of missiles hit the target at one time, but that was very difficult. The Giant Beast not only interfered with their signals, but also knew how to use various methods to avoid attacks.
Moreover, the occasional partial damage was not enough to kill the Giant Beast. It was not like a normal creature that could not stand up again if some of its internal organs were damaged, and the Giant Beast did not seem to have any special weaknesses. Whether it was the head, or the place that could be the heart, or the respiratory organs.
The general's troops had succeeded in blowing off the Giant Beast's eyes, but the next time it came out, it was fine again. It was as if it had never been injured at all.
"We can only use that to solve it."
Thinking of this, the general said to the Void Dwellers present, "We need to deploy the warships … Disperse all the warships and let them guard every coastal city. As soon as they encounter the Giant Beast, they will bombard it with all their might. You can use any weapon. We must take it down! "
The general gave this order, and the Void Dwellers present also knew what it meant. They might cause considerable damage to the city in order to get rid of this creature …
However, this was also a last resort. If they did not use this method, they might never be able to get rid of this Giant Beast.
Therefore, time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a few days and nights had passed.
"Why didn't it come out!" In the previous war conference room, the general slammed the table and said, "It should have come out at this time usually!"
"I don't know … The submarine troops are searching with all their might, but …" A Void Dweller next to him answered, but his answer did not satisfy the general.
The number of submarine troops was not large. If it was on land, it would be easy to find a head-sized target, but in the sea, it was extremely difficult.
The Giant Beast's sneak attack on the city was their only chance to attack, but now the Giant Beast did not appear … While feeling anxious about this matter, the general also had to pay attention to the changing colors in the three-dimensional image.
In the few cities that the Giant Beast had attacked, their infection had begun to spread rapidly. Although there were many 'Blazing Troops' in the city dealing with it, just like before, these troops could not save the city.
At most, they could only temporarily hinder the spread of the fungus, and then the city would be covered in a large amount of bacterial dust in the end.
"It might know …"
This was the general's only thought now. The Giant Beast knew their strategy, so it did not show itself. Now, just dealing with the spreading fungus was already quite troublesome, and with the potential threat of the Giant Beast, the general even felt that they might … not be able to survive this.
Although the current situation was extremely troublesome, the general still had to deal with it first. It was mainly about the fungus, it had to order all the city residents who might be infected to prepare a large amount of salt water.
The fungus spread much faster than any virus that any Void Dweller knew of. The bacterial dust was like a seed that floated in the wind, it would quickly take root and germinate in any nutritious place. If it was not for the fact that the fungus was afraid of seawater, this world would have been invaded by the fungus long ago.
At the same time, the general also ordered the air force to start cleaning up the infected areas. In short, they must first stop the spread of the fungus, and continue to wait for the Giant Beast to come out.
Just like that, a few more days and nights passed …
"…"
The general looked at the three-dimensional image in front of him in silence.
The Void Dwellers around him had the same expression.
The fungus … It seemed that the previous method could no longer be used to suppress it.
Letting the residents retreat and then letting the fighter jets bomb was a common method, but now … the general found that there was a little problem with this method.
It was those fighter jets, after they completed their mission and flew back, the air force base where the fighter jets were located would immediately erupt with the fungus, and for the first time, a large number of people in the base would be infected.
This had never happened before …
Like the general ground forces such as the Blazing Force, after they completed their mission, they would use methods such as flames and high temperature to completely 'clean' their armor before returning.
After the bombing mission, the fighter jets would not be 'cleaned' because they flew at a height that was thought to be beyond the reach of the bacterial dust.
But now it seemed that things had changed, even if the fighter jets flew very high, they would still be stuck with a lot of bacterial dust, and returning directly to the base would lead to a large number of infections.
Later, the general let the fighter jets fly at a higher altitude, which prevented the infection from happening again.
However, even if the infection only appeared a few times, it was already troublesome enough, the fungus would quickly spread near the base and then start to attack the nearby cities. Because some of the fighter jets' bases were inland, their return would cause the bacterial dust to start to spread inland.
The three-dimensional image in front of them was like a pot of dye, the red dye called fungus was slowly changing the color of the entire pot of dye, this process seemed to be irreversible, because the surroundings were densely packed with Void Dwellers, the fungus could spread at a high speed.
"We should have used missiles from the beginning instead of fighter jets …" A Void Dweller beside the general said, "General, now, now is not too late, we have to quickly bomb all the areas completely …"
"It's already too late now," the general said, "the spread cannot be stopped, we have to … retreat."
"Retreat?" The other Void Dwellers were shocked when they heard this, "Are we going to withdraw the troops that are fighting?"
"No, all of us have to retreat, we have to stay away from any infection point, then we can carry out the clean-up."
"But …"
The general understood very well that it was extremely difficult to mobilize a large number of Void Dwellers, no matter where they were, it would be very troublesome, and … it was not just the problem of space, there were many other problems.
But if many Void Dwellers were sent into the void, then at least the problem of space could be solved … but, it was also very difficult to send a large number of Void Dwellers into the void, so …
The general thought of the previous new world. (To be continued.)
