In India, in a village called Tulva, close to the country's hinterland.
"Bad news, village chief! A plague of locusts is coming to our village! "
A group of dark-skinned middle-aged men shouted as they ran into the village. Soon, the entire village was in an uproar because of their arrival. All the villagers heard the news and rushed out of their houses.
"What! A plague of locusts is coming to our village? "
"What should we do?"
"Despicable locusts, do they have to eat all the food before they stop?!"
"…"
The villagers were jumping up and down anxiously. For farmers like them, food was their lifeblood. They could not afford to lose it.
The village chief of Tulva village was an old man with a white beard. When he heard the news of the plague of locusts, his heart skipped a beat. Their village was very close to the capital of India. If the plague of locusts was coming to their village, wouldn't the villages and towns on the border be doomed?
The plague of locusts had been wreaking havoc in India for ten days. At first, the plague of locusts only attacked the villages and towns on the border of India. Later, it gradually moved to the hinterland of India. The government of India had used various methods to suppress the plague of locusts, but none of them were effective. In the past ten days, almost half of the country's crops had been eaten by the locusts.
"Bring your weapons, let's fight the locusts!"
The old village chief roared, calling on the villagers to fight the locusts that were coming.
Soon, the villagers were ready to go. Some brought flamethrowers, some brought large nets, some brought sickles, hoes, and other weapons. In short, in order to ensure the safety of their food, everyone had the courage to risk their lives.
However, when the crowd walked out of the village and saw the swarm of locusts that blotted out the sky, they realized how ridiculous their idea of fighting the locusts was.
"There are too many of them!"
"There are so many locusts, it's not something that a human can fight against!"
"It's over, we can't keep our food. Who can save us?"
The villagers cried out in despair, feeling extremely terrified.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this moment, a few missiles suddenly flew across the sky and exploded among the locusts. The intense flames were brighter than the sunset.
"It's the army!"
The villagers were overjoyed and quickly looked in the direction of the country's capital.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Whoosh! "
Missiles were fired continuously from the capital city, creating dazzling fireworks in the midst of the locusts.
Everyone looked at the fireworks in the sky and clapped their hands in joy. The smiles on their faces were full of joy and relief. If the country was involved, they would definitely be able to suppress the locust plague!
In other words, if even the country could not suppress the plague of locusts, who could?
"Boom boom boom boom …"
Seeing dozens of fireworks explode one after another, the joy on the people's faces gradually faded and was replaced by panic!
That was because they realized that even the missiles could not stop the onslaught of the locusts. Compared to the massive number of locusts, the number of locusts killed by the missiles was not even worth mentioning. They could not even shake the foundation of the locust plague.
…
At this moment, in the State Affairs Building of India, dozens of senior government officials were holding an emergency meeting.
The Minister of Defense looked at the overwhelming number of locusts on the projection screen and said anxiously, "There are too many locusts. We can't use weapons of mass destruction. We can't stop them with missiles."
"Only by finding the entrance to the Locust God's ruin and destroying the awakening Locust God can we stop the locust plague!"
As he finished, the officials turned to look at the Transcendent Minister.
The Transcendent Minister said with a headache, "The Locust God's ruin is too well hidden. We've searched almost every corner of India but we still can't find the entrance."
"We can't not find it! If the plague of locusts continues, the entire country will be dragged down! "
"This locust plague has caused an immeasurable economic loss. We have to solve this as soon as possible!"
"Let's ask for help from other countries. If we can't find the Locust God's ruin, perhaps other countries can."
"…"
The officials spoke at once and came up with various solutions.
In the end, India's Chancellor sighed and said, "I've already asked for help from Gengok. Gengok's' Divine Predictor 'has the supernatural power of divination. With his help, we will definitely be able to find the Locust God's ruin."
"But Gengok's Kunlun Mountain Range has recently discovered a god's ruin. Divine Predictor needs to wait for Gengok's situation to stabilize before he can come to help us."
The officials were silent. Gengok had encountered many problems recently. Not only did a god's ruin appear in Kunlun Mountain Range, he had also provoked the Demon God's Cave, an international cancer. These two things were enough to trouble them for a long time. Who knew how long it would take for Divine Predictor to come to their aid?
The key was that India could not afford to wait. Every day the locust plague raged, it would consume their national power. This was an unbearable loss.
On the surface, the news reported that the locust plague had caused a food crisis for millions of people. In reality, there were more than 30 million people affected by the locust plague. They were afraid of causing panic so they did not release the actual data.
The Chancellor understood that the country could not afford to wait for Gengok's aid. After a long silence, he said slowly, "If possible, we will try our best to solve the locust plague with our own power. Then, we will mobilize all our forces. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will …"
"Look at this!"
The Minister of National Defense suddenly roared and interrupted the Chancellor. He pointed at the screen as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Those locusts are falling from the sky!"
Falling from the sky?
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at the screen.
Sure enough, the locusts that covered the sky in the image suddenly fell down in droves as if they were poisoned.
"What's going on?!"
The officials were shocked. Some even thought they were seeing things and rubbed their eyes hard.
But even after rubbing their eyes, the image remained the same. It was as if the sky was raining locusts. Countless locusts fell in droves. The satellite zoomed in and saw that the locusts had lost their vitality the moment they fell. Their bodies were stiff and motionless.
"Could it be that the missiles were laced with poison gas?" One of the officials asked.
"Impossible!" The Minister of National Defense was the first to deny it. "This is the heartland of our country. We don't even dare to use weapons of mass destruction, much less poison gas!"
"Then … then what is going on?"
No one could answer this question. The officials were all stunned. The sudden mass death of the locusts was like a super surprise that fell from the sky. It froze their brains.
"Could it be … that the Locust God has been destroyed by someone?"
The Transcendent Minister suggested.
