However, the military misjudged the resistance of giant locusts to pesticides, and the concentration of pesticides sprayed for the first time was insufficient, which directly caused some giant locusts to break through the isolation. The military dispatched more than a hundred fighter planes to eliminate these giant locusts.
The Northern Military Region immediately carried out high-concentration spraying to make up for the situation and finally curbed the spread of the giant locusts, firmly suppressing the locust swarms in a narrow strip of about five kilometers wide and forcing the locust swarms to migrate south.
Using pesticides is far simpler than using force to kill locust swarms. Although the pesticides sprayed this time are claimed to be green and environmentally friendly, high-concentration pesticides pollute land and water sources far more than artillery bombs and aerial bombs.
The long-term impact on the environment is difficult to predict. If it were not an emergency, it would be impossible for Beidu to use this plan.
Although the military successfully controlled the spread of the locust swarm, Beidou City did not relax at all and still monitored the movements of the giant locusts.
To everyone's surprise, the giant ants that the northern capital had great expectations for had not yet come into contact with the locust swarm. A group of giant mantises that were forced to move north suddenly appeared and suddenly encountered the vanguard of the locust swarm heading south.
Due to the military's full-scale attack, the giant mantis population has shrunk drastically. When it came into contact with the locust swarm, the total number of giant mantises was only a few hundred.
Soldiers in several nearby armored vehicles witnessed hungry giant mantises attacking the locust swarm.
The body length of giant locusts is mostly about 1.5 meters, and the longest is no more than two meters. However, the smallest giant mantis that persists to this day is more than three meters long.
The largest giant mantis was nearly five meters long. The mantis was the first to rush into the locust swarm. With a wave of its blade arm, which was as long as one person, it caught a giant locust between its arms. There were rows of barbs on the inside of the blade limb, which stabbed deeply.
Enter the giant locust's body, hold it to your mouth and bite it with a big mouth, then bite off half of the giant locust's head.
The other giant mantises were not much slower. They jumped into the giant locusts like tigers entering a flock of sheep. They all moved quickly, hooked the giant locusts and started to bite them.
The soldiers who observed this scene looked at each other. Although their mission was to monitor and control the giant locusts, their superiors had also told them to kill the giant mantis immediately once they found it. What should they do now that the giant mantis and the giant locust are mixed together?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This theory definitely does not apply to giant insects!
The soldiers did not take advantage of the giant mantis' opportunity to hunt, but immediately reported the situation.
A few minutes later, the soldiers received an order from their superiors: wait and see what happens!
In short, you don’t need to worry about the giant mantis unless it leaves the locust swarm. If there is any sign of leaving, kill it immediately!
In just a few minutes, the situation changed again.
The giant mantis that rushed into the locust swarm was not slow to eat. At this time, most of them had already filled their bellies. However, mantises are cruel in nature. The giant mantis that was full and drunk had no scruples.
In the land without locusts, chop the giant locusts around you one by one with your knife.
Poor giant locusts all eat grass and leaves. There have been five kinds of giant insects in this place so far. Only the imported giant locusts are vegetarians. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are monks in the world of giant insects. Where have you seen such a ferocious character?
Fortunately, the giant locusts have no intelligence and don't know what fear is. Hundreds of them were killed by the giant mantis, but they still kept leaning towards the giant mantis, as if they had lived enough and deliberately sought death.
The soldiers nearby watched the whole process, and promptly recorded the scene of the giant mantis killing the giant locust using a vehicle-mounted data terminal, and forwarded the video to the headquarters via satellite.
Everyone who saw this video was amazed. The giant mantis is indeed a killer among insects. Unfortunately, this thing has a great appetite. If it does not attack people, it can be domesticated and serve as a vanguard for mankind.
The military thought that the giant mantis would leave voluntarily after eating and drinking. Unexpectedly, the giant mantis, which had been hungry for many days, finally found food and refused to move at all.
The locust swarm didn't care about the hundreds of giant mantises. If they were lucky enough to pass by the giant mantis, if they were unlucky, they would be hacked to death by the giant mantises. If giant locusts didn't eat meat, they would have killed the hundreds of giant mantises long ago.
Torn to pieces.
A few days later, the locust swarm crashed into the ant-occupied area. The hungry giant ants finally waited for the opportunity to feast. Countless worker ants rushed to the ground and hunted the locusts everywhere.
The troops guarding the locust swarms began to retreat in sequence, relying on the river to limit the spread of giant ants. As for the locust swarms, they were left under the control of giant ants, and the plan to control the insects with insects was carried out smoothly.
Under the temptation of food, the ant colony quickly developed northward. Soon after, the giant ants came into contact with the giant mantis. The giant mantis killed several giant ants and then embarked on the journey to the north again.
A mist enveloped the train refinery, and regular whistle sounds came from the fog.
At this time, if a giant hand pushes aside the clouds, you can see that the refinery, which originally had only a few carriages, has turned into a train of more than twenty carriages. In addition to the eight carriages that serve as the factory, there are also additional trains.
There are more than a dozen carriages, half of which are dining cars and sleeping cars that provide life support, and the remaining half are flatbed trains, with several wheeled armored vehicles parked on each flatbed.
At this time, an armored vehicle slowly drove off the flatbed train and stopped steadily on the slope under the middle stage.
At first glance, this armored vehicle looks nothing out of the ordinary, but if you look closely, you can see that the machine gun that was originally supposed to be placed on the roof of the vehicle has been replaced by a strange-looking, extremely rough short-barreled cannon, with a gun actually stuffed in the muzzle.
A large, rusty arrowhead with hideous barbs.
This is a weapon that the military made temporarily in order to hunt giant ants. Because it looks like a harpoon cannon, the soldiers gave this thing a very vivid name: ant fork cannon.
Before the armored vehicle could stop, Ye Han, who had been waiting under the roadbed, waved his hand, and several soldiers walked through the grass and boarded the armored vehicle covered in morning dew.
Ye Han climbed directly to the roof of the armored car, opened the roof and jumped into the car. He slapped the roof of the cab twice: "GOGOGO!"
The engine roared and the eight wheels turned in unison. The armored vehicle smashed through the light morning fog and drove straight to the ant-occupied area in the distance.
After driving about one kilometer, anthills began to appear on both sides of the armored vehicle. Ye Han shrank into the vehicle and shouted loudly: "No need to open it, just pick a hole!"
The model of the armored vehicle is too old, and the engine noise is ridiculously loud. The interior of the vehicle is the worst affected area. If you don't shout at the top of your lungs, don't expect others to hear you.
The driver agreed loudly and braked to stop the armored vehicle near the anthill.
The sound of the engine gradually stopped. Ye Han dug his ears and carefully looked around to make sure there were no giant ants nearby. Then he reopened the top cover, took out a finger-sized glass bottle, shook his hands and threw it near the anthill.
He originally wanted to smash the glass bottle directly, but he didn't expect that the soil under the anthill was so soft that the glass bottle was directly embedded in the soil, leaving only the bottom of the bottle facing the sky.
Ye Han smacked his lips helplessly, took out his pistol, shattered the glass bottle with a single shot, and then immediately retreated into the car.
