The more Ye Han thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became. This place was obviously the hinterland of the country, but we had to worry about alien ambush all the time. What the hell was going on?
The convoy drove out of the desert and entered the Gobi. The convoy soon completed a journey of more than 100 kilometers, and a dilapidated road appeared on the horizon ahead.
At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A waning moon hung in the sky. The dim moonlight shone brightly in the night vision device, as if half of the sun was missing, illuminating the earth.
Finally reaching the highway, Ye Han felt even more uneasy. He always felt that the insect swarm had already opened its pockets in front, waiting for the convoy to get inside.
After a while, the convoy drove onto the road. The condition of the road was worse than expected. It had not been maintained for many years. There were only a few rusty pillars on the guardrails on both sides of the road. The wind, rain and ice made the originally flat road
The road surface has collapsed and cracked, and the weeds in the cracks are as tall as half a person.
Ye Han couldn't help but think of the situation when he escaped from Jingjiang River. If it were in the prosperous eastern region, this road would be jammed with countless broken vehicles, making it difficult to move on this road.
Fortunately, this place is located in the northwest, and is notoriously sparsely populated. You might end up in a vast, desolate no-man’s land at any point. Even before the insect plague, there weren’t many vehicles on this road. I hope this will happen.
Traffic jam on the road? There will be no way for the next life.
The thoughts in Ye Han's mind were all divergent. Unexpectedly, a bright beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, and its landing point was not far to the right.
Ye Han almost jumped up: "Bridge, what's going on?"
"Report, insect swarm found seventeen kilometers ahead!"
Ye Han felt as if he had been hit by a hammer on the head: "Are you really afraid of whatever comes, how many bugs?"
"Less than forty, they have been confirmed eliminated."
"How much?" Ye Han could hardly believe his ears.
Insect swarms have always won by numbers. If they don't move out, they will be overwhelming. Why did they change their nature today?
"Thirty-four!"
"So few?" Ye Han was extremely surprised, and suddenly thought of a more important question, "Where do these bugs come from?"
"In all directions, half an hour ago, the satellite discovered something was wrong. Many bugs were running in one direction. I killed them as soon as they arrived. There should be no leaks."
"So that's it...I know, please let me know if anything happens!"
"clear!"
When the communication ended, Ye Han quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He had a hunch that this was just the beginning.
The actual situation was similar to what Ye Han expected. In the next few hours, the Ningwuguan discovered several groups of giant insects one after another, but each group was small in size, and they were all eliminated by the battleship in advance. There was no group of giant insects.
Successfully ambush the convoy.
Probably the aliens knew that there was nothing they could do about the convoy. After several consecutive failures, they finally gave up the attack and hid the few remaining insect swarms, no longer chasing moths into the flames.
This matter made Ye Han regret it for a while.
He is indeed worried about the attack of the insect swarm, but that refers to a large-scale insect swarm, or a small-scale capture insect. If it were replaced by ordinary giant insects, a hundred and eighty of them would not be enough to fill the gap between his teeth, let alone every one.
Only thirty or fifty came in one wave.
Ye Han also figured it out. It wasn't that the aliens didn't want to send more bugs, but that the natural environment of this place was too harsh. Not only was it a restricted area for humans, but bugs didn't like it either. So although the aliens sent bugs here, the number was not high.
Well, it's not a big problem to spy on the intelligence, but don't even think about launching a large-scale attack.
The aliens have high IQs. If the objective conditions didn't allow it, how could they use such stupid tactics to deal with the convoy? It's the aliens' style to rush up in a swarm and bury the convoy with a bunch of bugs, right?
!
It’s enough to think about it, how much organic matter does it take to create so many bugs? Do aliens want to turn all the animals and plants on the earth into bugs to be happy?
In the midst of random thoughts, the convoy continued to move forward.
The road condition was not good, and the team could not pick up the speed. Not only did they have to avoid potholes on the road, but sometimes the road was interrupted and they had to leave the road and take a detour.
If it weren't for the fact that the Gobi Desert was more difficult to navigate, Ye Han would have ordered the convoy to leave the road long ago.
They moved forward slowly like this, and by the next morning, the convoy had advanced more than 600 kilometers.
At dawn, a patch of green appeared on the left side of the highway. This discovery made the soldiers excited.
Even though I only stayed in the Gobi desert for less than a day, the environment was really uncomfortable. Seeing green again, the joy almost came from my heart, and my whole body felt so clear.
"There must be a water source nearby!" Gu Cheng said with certainty.
Ye Han couldn't help complaining: Do you even need to say this?
This damn place is either a desert or the Gobi. Without water, where would the greenness come from?
He pulled up satellite images and discovered that the road ahead almost ran along the lake.
Ten minutes later, the rippling blue water of the lake appeared on the left side of the road. Even with the helmet on your head, you could feel a cool breeze blowing against your face.
Several scientific expedition team members could not suppress the impulse in their hearts and took off their helmets directly, feeling the oncoming morning breeze, which made them feel comfortable and comfortable.
According to military regulations, helmets are never allowed to be taken off during wartime unless there are special circumstances. Therefore, the soldiers can only watch helplessly. The most they can do is to open the external air circulation to solve the problem.
However, everyone was just fresh for a while. After a while, the cold wind calmed everyone down. The scientific expedition team members put on their helmets to block the oncoming morning wind.
The convoy headed east, and after a while, some neat farmland appeared on the right side of the road, and a little further away, there was a dilapidated town.
Ye Han leaned on the car door curiously and looked to the right: "Has this place been evacuated for several years?"
He activated the telescope function of the armor and pulled the town into view.
The buildings in the town are very modern, and it can be seen that they were built not long ago, but the surfaces of the buildings are mottled, the streets in the town are in a mess, and the only machine gun tower outside the town is bare with only the tower body left.
Gu Cheng said: "It's not too much, about 32 years ago. Before the Turkish Foreign Fleet came over, the western part had always been the focus of Beidu's development. Later, when the Turkish Foreign Fleet came, the talents here evacuated to Qingtang."
Speaking of this matter, Ye Han also knew something about it.
When the giant insects first appeared, they were very unsuitable to the plateau climate, so at that time Beidu had been evacuating its population to the west, and the west was developing rapidly. This town should have developed at that time.
But the arrival of the Turkish Foreign Fleet changed everything. Small towns like this were either withdrawn into underground cities or into well-defended large cities, leaving only their former glory gradually fading in the wind, rain, ice, snow and frost.
