438 First-hand information

More than forty minutes later, Eishan County was visible in the distance. Two armored vehicles and an armored truck were wrapped in a strong wind and rushed like lightning, running towards the target without stopping.

The road leading to Huishan is not smooth. It is full of abandoned vehicles and debris, and uncollected corpses can be seen everywhere.

The situation did not get better until near Eishan, but the vehicles and debris on the road were simply pushed out of the road, and they were still piled up on both sides of the road, looking dilapidated and desolate.

When the convoy arrived at the outskirts of Huishan, it suddenly found that the road ahead was blocked by several military vehicles. The convoy immediately slowed down and stopped on the roadside.

Several heavily armed soldiers came out from behind the roadblock and walked into the area illuminated by the car lights. Ye Han immediately jumped out of the armored vehicle and stood beside the armored vehicle, waiting for the people to approach.

The movements of those few people were very fast, and they ran all the way to the vicinity. When they were still ten meters away from the armored vehicle, the faces of several people suddenly changed. Their speeding footsteps suddenly stopped, and each of them covered their noses and couldn't help but retreat. Their expressions

Indescribably weird.

Seeing this, Ye Han couldn't help but smile bitterly. He took a few steps forward and asked loudly: "Which section are you from?" Then he pointed to the roadblock composed of military vehicles and asked, "What's going on?"

The leading lieutenant saw the lieutenant colonel logo on the shoulder of the power armor, quickly let go of his nose, suppressed the stench and saluted: "Chief, we are the Huishan County garrison. We have been ordered to set up roadblocks to prevent outsiders from entering by mistake."

Ye Han also knew that the smell on his body was too shocking, so he did not get closer, but stopped where he was and asked: "How is the situation in the city?"

He just got a little smell from the armored vehicle. If Xiao Yuan, who was directly sprayed by the armor, were here, the comrades in front of him would probably have fainted.

"It sucks." The lieutenant took a deep breath and said, "People are missing every day..."

"Every day?" Ye Han was surprised, "Didn't it just happen today?"

The lieutenant was startled: "Of course not."

"Tell me the details." Ye Han said.

It’s not surprising that the information received by the command headquarters was wrong. They were thousands of kilometers away.

The lieutenant explained Huishan's situation in detail.

Let’s start from the beginning. After the insect disaster occurred last year, Eishan was not spared. Although swarms of swarms of swarms of swarms of locusts did not appear near Eishan, it is located in a subtropical forest area with lush vegetation.

There are so many giant insects in China that there are endless incidents of giant insects invading urban areas.

In order to prevent the invasion of giant insects, Huishan County relied on hydropower stations in the suburbs and set up several power grids inside and outside the city. While the power grid surrounded the city, it also divided the entire city into several blocks. Even if giant insects entered the city, they would not be able to survive.

The movement area will be restricted by the power grid, creating opportunities to annihilate the giant insects.

In Ye Han's view, using power grids to defend against giant insects is not a good idea. Just dividing urban areas will cause a lot of trouble. Moreover, the city is densely populated, and accidents of accidentally touching the power grid are inevitable.

In contrast, although the machine gun tower is technically more complex, its construction is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than the power grid surrounding the city, and it is also safer.

After the power grid was built, it has indeed blocked many giant insects, and the county has specially set up strong lights. The lights are densely distributed on the left and right of the power grid. At night, the lights attract a large number of flying insects to the power grid, and countless giant insects are electrocuted to death.

After the country issued a defense plan, Huishan built a number of machine gun towers to further enhance its defense capabilities.

However, a falling asteroid hit the dam more than a month ago. Not only did the power grid surrounding the city lose power, but the machine gun tower that lost its power supply also became a decoration.

The nearby giant insects were like cats that smelled the fishy smell and rushed into the city crazily, causing many casualties.

Just as Beidu's westward expansion plan needed population, Beidu made a big move and listed Huishan as one of the first cities to evacuate to the west.

Under the pressure of survival, most people in Huishan left their homes. However, as asteroids continued to fall, there were more and more insect trees near Huishan, wiping out most of the giant insects nearby. The original three scares a day could not go away.

return.

Some Huishan people who did not want to stay away from their homeland gave up the opportunity to migrate to the west and stayed, which is the tens of thousands of people who currently live in urban areas.

The giant insects are almost extinct in the surrounding areas. Tens of thousands of people live in a corner of the county town, and everything is fine. However, two days ago, more than thirty people suddenly disappeared. At first, the disappearances were not taken seriously, and they were considered to be too late.

Returning to the residential area, I randomly found a place to spend the night, but unexpectedly, fifty or sixty people disappeared yesterday, which attracted the attention of the county and sent people to search everywhere.

In the end, although people were found, there were dozens of shriveled corpses, and there were more than a hundred casualties. Based on the reports of the injured, the county determined that the danger came from giant insects, and then found a way to report the situation.

Only then did Ye Han know the cause and effect. The information obtained by the headquarters was not wrong, but it was somewhat inconsistent with the facts and was far less detailed than the first-hand information in front of him.

However, the most important item was missing from the information. Ye Han immediately asked: "What kind of insect is it?"

"Spider, it's a spider!" the lieutenant said with lingering fear.

Ye Han's heart trembled: "Is that right?"

"Yes." The lieutenant said, "We were attacked by giant spiders when we left the city."

"I understand." Ye Han nodded, "Get out of the way and let us pass."

"Captain, be careful." The lieutenant and two of his men ran away quickly. The military vehicle blocking the road moved out of the way, and the two armored vehicles sped away. The armored truck containing the three queen ants stayed directly near the roadblock.

The distance between the roadblock and the urban area is about one kilometer. The shadowy trees on both sides of the road were replaced by buildings in the blink of an eye. However, all the buildings were completely dark, with no light at all.

The roads in the city are relatively spacious, but the condition of the road surface is more serious than the roads outside the city. Abandoned vehicles, broken power grids, and piles of tires and wood are everywhere, squeezing the spacious roads into only a winding path.

There were strands of silk-like objects floating on many roadblocks. When Ye Han saw them at first sight, two words jumped out of his mind: spider webs!

Could it be that the giant spider is nearby?

Ye Han did not dare to neglect, and immediately said: "Attention, all units, our opponent may be a giant spider. Everyone, observe carefully and don't let go of any clues." After saying this, he couldn't help but think to himself, the word clues is really useful at this time and place.

It couldn't be more appropriate.

As he thought, he raised the angle of the camera, intending to look for traces of the giant spider. As soon as he pointed the camera diagonally upward, a huge spider web spanning both sides of the road, enough to cover the road surface appeared on the screen.

In the middle of the spider web, a giant black spider is sitting on it.
