Chapter 008: Insect Tide

Shen Zheng decided not to tell anyone about the glowing bug on the day of the mission.

Now he was sure that his change must be related to the strange bug, and the mission performed by the special forces must also be related to the bug. This matter was serious, and there was no benefit in involving himself in this matter.

And the ability to plant insects by oneself could not be easily shown to others. Who knew how people would react after knowing it?

Shen Zheng thought that he should find an opportunity to use the insect planter, so that he could reasonably explain why he had the second insect power.

After a good night's sleep, a sunny morning came. Shen Zheng was the first to get up, looking at the bright sunshine coming in from outside, and smiled faintly. [

"This clear sky and bright sunshine, it is my bright future, right?"

He thought so. Thinking of the improvement in his treatment after he became stronger, and the hope that Shen Ying would be cured, he became more and more happy.

"Thinking about it carefully, I am really lucky." He thought to himself, "If my adaptability value was not as high as 98, it would be impossible to integrate the power of the foundation-building insect 100%; if I did not get the power of the foundation-building insect at first, then I would not be able to resist the attack of the strange insect on me during that operation; if a member of the death squad had not carelessly forgotten an insect egg in the collector, I would not have been able to easily complete the insect planting that changed my fate..."

Just as he was thinking about this, the alarm suddenly rang throughout the legion base. It was the highest level of combat alarm, which would only sound when the greatest danger came. Anyone who heard it must prepare for battle at the first time and assemble quickly.

The three sleeping soldiers were awakened, and they hurriedly got up and put on their clothes as quickly as possible.

Shen Zheng glanced at them, then calmly left the dormitory, was the first to leave the third squad's barracks, and ran to the arsenal to collect firearms.

Soon, the entire Wolf Fang Legion was ready to go. One by one, the mighty soldiers lined up with serious expressions, waiting for the final order.

"It's time to protect our homeland!" Liang Long stood on the reviewing stand, looking at the four formations of nearly 6,000 soldiers of the Langya Legion in front of him, and his words were brief and clear. "The insect tide is coming!"

The insect tide is coming!

This is a more tense and exciting word than any mobilization order. Behind them is their hometown Langya Town, and in front of them is the terrifying insect tide that represents death. The soldiers are shouldering life and death.

"Defend our homeland to the death!" The formation leaders took the lead and shouted, and the iron blood of the soldiers boiled at this moment.

"Defend our homeland to the death!" Thousands of men shouted to the sky together, and the sound shook the four directions.

The recruits had not experienced the terrible insect tide, and had not experienced that kind of horror. They were just infected by thousands of veterans, and they also boiled up and shouted loudly: "Defend our homeland to the death!"

It was also the first time that Shen Zheng experienced the passion unique to this iron-blooded soldier. His mood became excited, raised his fist, and shouted loudly together.

Liang Long looked at these courageous and fearless subordinates, nodded with satisfaction, and raised his fist high: "Let's go!"

The battlefield was arranged in the northwest defense city five kilometers away from Langya Town. This defensive fortress, which was specially built to defend against the insect tide in the northwest, lies in front of the fierce insect valley connected to the northwest fierce insect jungle, blocking the way for all insects to advance. It is the protective shield of Langya Town.

Four thousand experienced veterans, more than a thousand recruits, and the next-level infantry entered this fortress.

The insect sound discriminator was turned on, and the light and shadow on the phantom screen continued to form one three-dimensional phantom after another, showing dense and overlapping light spots. From it, it can be clearly seen that in the northwest direction, a large number of insects are advancing towards the valley in the fierce insect jungle. At that speed, perhaps in about a day, the insect tide will come to the fierce insect valley.

"All personnel are on alert and on duty in groups! Do not disarm 24 hours a day, and be ready to fight at any time!" The leaders of each formation issued such an order to their subordinates. [

Shen Zheng carried a gun and stood guard in the fortress with the insect planters. At this time, the recruits were full of tension and fear, and no one had the leisure to tease Shen Zheng, the "genius".

But there will always be exceptions.

"Isn't this a 'genius'?" A disgusting voice sounded, Shen Zheng turned his head and saw Ping Lei's face full of contempt.

There were more than a dozen recruits holding rifles between the two of them. These recruits were very nervous, staring at the shooting hole they were guarding on the defensive platform, and had no spare energy to look at who was next to them. After Ping Lei's voice, they turned their heads and found that they were guarding the same platform with Shen Zheng, the "genius".

Shen Zheng looked at him with cold eyes, turned his head and ignored him. But Ping Lei didn't want to stop talking. He looked at Shen Zheng and sneered.

"At this time, the waste also has its value. It can be used as long-range firepower. But what if the insect swarm rushes closer? We can use them as bait to attract the attention of the insects. Then we have time to accumulate strength and kill the insects in one fell swoop. Don't you think it's good?"

"What did you say?" Shen Zheng looked at Ping Lei, his eyes showing murderous intent. He could tolerate Ping Lei's teasing, but he could never tolerate his remarks like this.

"Am I wrong?" Ping Lei's eyes were fierce, "What else can a waste like you do except play such a role?"

"Don't let me hear such words again." A voice sounded, peaceful and calm, but with a kind of terrifying majesty. Ping Lei turned around in surprise and found that the person standing behind him was Feng Yu, the captain of the second formation.

"Sir!" He immediately stood at attention and saluted Feng Yu.

"No matter how fragile your comrade is, he is your kind, your brother." Feng Yu's face was cold, "Your mission is to protect your kind, your brother! I don't want to hear such remarks again, otherwise I will think that you are no different from those bugs who killed our kind. In that case, your life is a superfluous thing. Don't think I can't kill you. Although I am not your formation leader, it is not difficult to execute a soldier with an evil heart."

"I know I was wrong!" Ping Lei lowered his head in panic, his body trembling slightly.

"Try hard." Feng Yu looked at Shen Zheng who also turned around to salute, and smiled slightly. There was a little regret and sympathy in his smile.

But no matter what, he was speaking for Shen Zheng, and Shen Zheng would not forget this. He gratefully stood up to Feng Yu: "Please look at my actual actions!"

Feng Yu smiled, turned away, and sighed slightly at the moment he turned his head.

Ping Lei's face flushed, and he glared at Shen Zheng fiercely, then said nothing more. He just turned around and looked outside the firing port.

Silence, like a lid, covered the defensive fortress. Everyone was either staring outside or looking at the insect sound discriminator, waiting for that moment to come.

What was supposed to come finally came. At about nine o'clock the next morning, as the emergency alarm in the fortress sounded, tens of thousands of insects of various appearances finally rushed out of the valley of fierce insects, and rushed to the fortress blocking the valley entrance like a tide.

"Everyone get ready!" Liang Long's voice came from the loud cough, "Long-range artillery fire!"

A deafening roar sounded, and the long-range artillery on the high-rise turrets of the fortress roared one after another, one shot after another flew over a distance of several kilometers and fell into the dense swarm of insects. In the explosion, some insects were directly blown to ashes, some were torn into pieces, and more were riddled with holes by the fragments, either dying directly or falling to the ground and struggling.

But the insect tide quickly submerged these blown-up fellows, just like running water can quickly smooth out the mud pits on the ground.

Shen Zheng looked at the dense swarm of insects and felt his scalp tingling and his body cold. [

"Tide", this word is really appropriate to describe the insect swarm. Thousands of insects crowded together, fearing death, bravely moving forward, forming an insect tide like a wave, just looking at it from a distance makes people pale and breathless.

In the bombardment of long-range artillery, insects died in groups, but more insects filled the ground that was blown out in waves, rushing towards the defense fortress. Finally, they successfully broke through the artillery with their advantage in numbers and came to a distance of about one kilometer from the defense fortress.

"Machine gun fire!"

With the command, hundreds of machine guns on the defense platform roared, and the dense and rapid explosions flew out like a rainstorm, raising countless fragments in the insect swarm. Those fragments were nothing but the shells, legs, and antennae of the insects...

Tens of thousands of insects were killed by long-range guns, and tens of thousands of insects died on the ground outside the defensive fortress within a short distance of one kilometer.

But more insects continued to move forward by stepping on the bodies of their companions. The terrible insect tide, fearing all obstacles, slowly but continuously moved forward, and finally came to a distance of hundreds of kilometers from the defensive fortress.

At this time, there were still tens of thousands of insects, which looked dense and shocking.

"Fight!" The captains of each formation issued an order at the same time, and the firing ports on the defensive high platform on the outer wall of the fortress immediately spit out endless flames. Dispersed, rapid explosion, armor-piercing... Countless bullets poured out and sprinkled on the insects, hitting them and making them scream and scream, and their armor and flesh splashed.

However, they finally rushed to the nearby area and climbed up the fortress and came to the fortress.

In the dense gunfire, they were beaten to pieces and fell down screaming. In this siege, they lost thousands of their kind.

After paying such a heavy price of nearly 20,000 insects' lives, the remaining 8,000 insects that rushed out of the valley of fierce insects finally rushed into the defensive fortress. The soldiers on the defensive platforms directly faced those terrible insects at close range.

Sharp claws, knife-like jaws, and strong shells, these offensive and defensive weapons, made the recruits feel tingling in their scalps.

At this time, the veterans showed their strength. They threw away the long spears that were in the way, and each used their own insect abilities to pounce on the insects.

The fight unfolded on the outer layer of the defensive fortress.
