68 Crisis is imminent

Leng Jiang agreed: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

"No need to make arrangements." Professor Qin pointed at Ye Han, "Just the two of them, acquaintances are guaranteed."

"Okay!" Leng Jiang didn't want to be wordy and immediately nodded in agreement.

Professor Qin greeted, and Zhou Yun and Ye Han immediately followed the team and rushed out of the waiting room.

Government vehicles were already waiting outside the station, and Ye Zhou quickly ran to the armored vehicle.

Zhou Yun saw that there was no police car in the convoy, so he immediately sounded the alarm and acted as the lead vehicle. He was the first to leave the train station amidst the piercing sirens. Other vehicles immediately followed, and the convoy went straight to the south city wall.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, there were not many vehicles on the street. Any vehicle that heard the sirens would give way immediately. No one dared to stand in front of the police car and cause trouble for themselves.

As long as you have ears, who hasn't heard the gunshots and explosions in the south of the city from morning to now? No matter how poorly informed you are, you still know that the defenders have been fighting the attacking giant mantis for the past few hours and are messing around at this juncture.

, wouldn’t it mean that you are screwed up and have trouble with yourself?

To put it bluntly, if you don’t want to live, you can find a place to die however you want, don’t be stuck in the middle of the street and disgust others.

The police car drove wildly along the road, and it only took about ten minutes for the convoy to arrive at the south city wall. The group of people got out of the car in a hurry, and climbed up the city wall on the iron ladder with messy footsteps.

At this time, the city wall was already well prepared. Heavily armed soldiers stood all over the city wall, equipped with rifles, machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, grenade launchers, and many more mortars and rocket launchers.

Looking around, everyone is ready to shoot, and everyone is surrounded by bullets and grenades. As soon as the commander gives the order, they will immediately cover the insect swarm with the most violent artillery fire.

However, what puzzled Ye Han was that the wall at this time was not as busy as in the morning. Except for the sudden burst of the anti-aircraft machine gun, all other weapons were on hold.

What's going on?

Ye Han was full of questions and followed Bai Xiaoting up the wall.

Bai Xiaoting's eyes fell to the outside of the city, and she couldn't help but let out a soft "Ah", her face changed several times on the spot as if she had opened a dyeing workshop.

At this time, outside the city, insect corpses were already everywhere. Complete, broken, scattered, and crushed giant mantis corpses were piled one on top of another, piling up like a mountain under the city wall. Only when you extend your gaze to more than ten meters away can you see the naked corpses.

of ground.

Farther away, a dozen or so scattered giant mantises were jumping towards the north, seemingly quite eager.

In Bai Xiaoting's view, some giant mantises are very discerning and they stay far away from the urban area, preferring to take detours rather than get close to the city wall.

But other giant mantises are less intelligent and cannot run anywhere. They have to come to the city wall. One after another, they are all killed by machine guns on the way. After being shot, they always struggle for a long time.

Damn it, haven't you seen so many lessons learned from the past piled under the city wall?

A group of people headed by Leng Jiang and Professor Qin stood on the city wall. After receiving the news, Huai Mingyu rushed over immediately. Before he could speak, Leng Jiang asked: "Lao Huai, how is the situation?"

Huai Mingyu replied: "It's hard to say now. According to the speed of the ant colony's advance, it should not be far from the city."

"Is there no definite news?" Leng Jiang asked urgently.

"No." Huai Mingyu shook his head, "The reconnaissance plane has just taken off and it will take some time to fly to the designated airspace."

As he spoke, bursts of roaring sounds came from the distance. Everyone turned their heads in unison and saw an armed helicopter flying from behind.

"Here we come!" Huai Mingyu said.

The helicopter crossed the city wall and before it flew out of everyone's sight, the communications soldier following Huai Mingyu suddenly shouted: "Report, chief, the reconnaissance plane reported that the ant colony is about to arrive in our city!"

"What?" Huai Mingyu took the earphone from the communication soldier, "I am Huai Mingyu, how far away is the ant colony?

"Four kilometers, no more than five kilometers at most!"

"Closely monitor the movements of the ant colony." Huai Mingyu said and returned the earphones to the communications unit. "Notify all units to prepare for battle. Order the Air Force and Army Aviation to be ready to take off at any time. Order the Logistics Department to seize the time to transport ammunition.

Make sure there’s no problem with the ammunition!”

"Yes!" the signal soldier responded loudly and immediately passed on the order.

Huai Mingyu came close to Leng Jiang and said, "Mayor Leng, the ant colony will be here soon, and the fight may start again in a while. Should the municipal party committee evade it temporarily?"

"It doesn't matter." Leng Jiang waved his hand, "I'm just standing here waiting. I don't believe it. We have planes and cannons, but we can't take down a few ants!"

"Here we come!" A lieutenant officer put down the telescope, ran quickly to Huai Mingyu, handed the telescope to Huai Mingyu, and pointed to the specific direction to the south.

Huai Mingyu raised his telescope and immediately saw a black, oversized ant in the telescope, wading through the lush cornfield, leaving a row of fallen corn behind him.

More and more ants are crawling out of the cornfield. The cornfield that has been walked through by the giant mantis hundreds of times without much damage is actually destroyed by ten giant ants, making it as abstract as a crop circle.

"Mayor!" Another officer who was qualified to hang the telescope handed the telescope to Leng Jiang in time, and the others could only rely on their own eyes to see into the distance.

Leng Jiang saw the cornfields ravaged by giant ants, and the flesh on his face throbbed with pain.

Is it easy to feed 22% of the world's population with 7% of the world's land? Is the cultivated land wasted casually? It doesn't matter if this nest of ants takes a trip. Is it okay to reduce the yield of this corn field by at least one-third?

All he saw was this point in front of him, what about what he couldn't see?

Leng Jiang has foreseen that the food harvest will be cut off this autumn. This is not only a matter of food for the common people, but also his political achievements as the mayor. Do you understand his political achievements?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation, wishing he could kill these damn giant ants with his own hands.

He handed the telescope to Professor Qin who was standing side by side. Professor Qin took off his glasses, held the telescope in front of his eyes and adjusted it before he could clearly see the situation in front of him.

Bai Xiaoting was unwilling to be left alone and whispered: "Grandpa, grandpa, show me!"

"Stop making trouble!" Professor Qin shouted, and Bai Xiaoting immediately stopped and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

Professor Qin observed very carefully and said softly: "With a big head, a small chest, a small mouth, and a big butt, this should be a mutant ferocious ant, a carnivorous ant."

"Eating meat?" Leng Jiang was shocked, "Like a giant mantis?"

Even though the giant mantis has never entered the urban area, since the giant mantis appeared around Jingjiang River, more than 4,000 people have been killed due to the giant mantis, and this is still a statistical figure. If the number of people who entered the city is not counted,

Counting those who are injured, this number must be doubled at least!
