"What are those guys in the monitoring camp doing? They didn't even notice the slightest sign of something as big as the insect tide! "
In the meeting hall, Xu Hongzhuang's eyes were red as she questioned the people who were reporting the situation loudly.
She glared at them, and her pair of phoenix eyebrows were raised. No one had ever seen this girl, who gave people the impression that she was a person of few words, show such an angry expression on her face.
Xu Hongzhuang was a little furious.
Anyone who heard that in just ten minutes, two strongholds placed around the city had been uprooted, and more than a hundred people had died an unnatural death, could not calm the throbbing in their hearts.
If it was a head-on fight, Xu Hongzhuang would not be so angry. At most, her skills were not as good as others, and there was nothing to be said about dying. But! What made her most angry was that most of these professionals and people who had died tragically were killed by sneak attacks!
It was too sudden.
Just now, there was also a violent earthquake on the east side of the bridge. Compared to the economic development zone, the situation here was even worse. The tremor had even reached level eight. Some temporary houses had collapsed in an instant, and countless people were buried under them.
Disaster.
There were often professionals who specialized in detecting disasters on the east side of the bridge. In the past, when the earthquake came, they could more or less take some precautions. But just now, this earthquake seemed to have appeared out of thin air. The professionals who were proficient in detection did not even know what had happened, and the city had suffered this kind of damage.
Because the earthquake came too suddenly, no one could react in time. The most tragic thing was that on one side of the wall, there were more than a hundred people digging an air-raid shelter underground. They built this place so that when the disaster came, it would be a place for people to take refuge.
But the strong tremor caused this unfinished air-raid shelter to collapse directly. More than a hundred people were all buried inside, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead!
The moment she heard the news, Xu Hongzhuang first sent people to calm the chaotic survivors, and then stepped up the rescue.
The earthquake slowly began to weaken.
After a while, when everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The earthquake, which had subsided for a few minutes, suddenly came with a violent earthquake sound.
The city guards all jumped up reflexively and looked at the trembling ground. They looked at each other. Was the second wave of the earthquake coming?
That would be terrible. The first wave took so many people's lives. Wouldn't the second wave be even worse? If things went wrong, the entire ground might collapse!
These were the thoughts of these people.
However, this was not the second wave of earthquakes …
Instead, it was an even worse situation.
That was because everyone saw an extremely frightening scene.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, a large amount of dust suddenly rose from the ground. Vaguely, people could see a group of ugly and ferocious monsters, shining with colorful insect shells breaking out of the ground. They wriggled their ugly bodies and raised their heads to let out ear-piercing sounds.
What did they see?
A swarm of bugs.
A dense swarm of insects crawled out, as if they had been lying in ambush for a long time. He did not know that so many creatures had crawled out of this place!
"Bugs, bugs, there are bugs everywhere, how are we going to kill them all …"
Some of the people who were fearful felt their scalps go numb. As a defensive force, it was easy to imagine how much pressure it was to face these endless insects. These insects were like locusts, covering the ground as if there was no end to them, crawling from the ground to the surface.
Their numbers were like locusts, but they were all ferocious. Even the weakest insect was more dangerous than a tiger in peacetime. In the face of such a disaster, anyone would feel powerless from the bottom of their heart.
Acid Bugs, Sickle Beetles, and Venomous Spiders were blocked under the city wall. However, some of the Sickle Ladybugs, Red Rock Dragonflies, and Corpse Incense Demonic Insects had crossed the line of defense and directly flew towards the people two kilometers away.
For a time, the survivors who were still in pain from the earthquake were attacked. A hardworking worker had his head bitten off by a Red Rock Dragonfly. His body fell straight to the ground. A pregnant woman was split into two by a Sickle Ladybug. An old woman who could not move was targeted by a Corpse Incense Demonic Insect. The Corpse Incense Demonic Insect swooped down and crashed into the old woman. In an instant, the old woman's internal organs were pierced by poisonous fangs. Her eyes widened as she died on the ground.
Fortunately, the patrolling personnel on the east side of the bridge stopped all of this in time. In addition to the reserve forces, there were also many civilian forces on the east side of the bridge. For example, there were some famous battle groups. Under such circumstances, even some of the soldiers who were still loyal to Feng Zhiyong began to resist.
There was no other way. These insects were too terrifying. If they were not killed directly, the entire east side of the bridge could be breached from the inside.
However, the danger was far from over.
While the city was in chaos and countless people were roaring, outside the city, the ground shook. Then, more than a dozen fleshy insects popped their heads out from the ground.
Burrowing Insects!
These large earthworms that were connected together in a string and emitted a foul stench all over their bodies. As soon as they popped their heads out, the ground was greatly damaged. The watchtowers and trenches that had been built before were instantly turned into scrap. They were completely useless.
What was even more terrifying was that with the appearance of the Burrowing Insects, the other insects that were hiding underground drilled out from the ground through the holes of the enemy. This greatly shortened the time needed to attack. In a moment, the walls of the east side of the bridge were crawling with dozens of ferocious-looking insects.
Everything happened too suddenly. Before the earthquake, the camp was carrying out daily maintenance work outside. Dozens of supervisors and hundreds of natives were completing the daily construction work.
However, the appearance of these insects undoubtedly dragged them into hell. There were hundreds of insects in total, and they were not something that mere mortals could contend against. They scrambled to escape, but they could not escape the insects that followed them like shadows. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people died one after another, wailing in agony.
Moreover, their deaths were extremely terrifying.
This was a war between humans and insects. It was cruel and bloody, and there was no turning back.
Humans killed insects in self-defense, while insects ate humans out of instinct!
"Moo …"
An ear-piercing sound of an insect announced the arrival of a powerful insect.
A series of explosions came from the surroundings. Then, a huge ox broke out from the ground. It weighed nearly two tons, and when it stepped on the ground, it was like a tank.
The garrison forces that had been fighting bitterly saw this and all of them tensed up. Their palms were sweating because they knew that the real enemy had just arrived.
What should they do?
