Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

Chapter 8 The man behind the scenes and the dangerous mission

The Great Migration?

Lu Jing tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart. When he glanced around, he found that most of the people present looked relatively calm, and no one showed any signs of surprise.

I suddenly realized that this news should not be a secret among the upper echelons of Heyun City, or that everyone had been prepared for it.

It seems that his plan to join the military was definitely the right decision.

Lu Jing's character has always been that he would rather die in plain sight than live in confusion and drift with the crowd.

Minister Wu's voice was low: "Everyone should have noticed that the weapons and ammunition in Heyun City are almost exhausted. Although there is a military factory in Ningzhou, it is impossible to replenish it on a large scale for us due to the current traffic conditions."

"And from the red-feathered Thunder Falcon that Lao Zhou discovered today, we can see that the evolution speed of the monsters is somewhat beyond our expectations. In addition, there are also issues such as food, basic supplies, and security and defense. If this consumption continues, the future of Heyun City will be affected. There is only a dead end!"

Everyone present was solemn. At present, humans still rely on hot weapons to fight monsters. If the weapons and ammunition are exhausted, so-called extraordinary beings like them will be dead.

Seemingly seeing that the atmosphere was a little too heavy, Minister Wu raised his voice again: "There is no need to worry too much. Let me tell you some good news. Ningzhou and several other big cities have begun to build artificial starch factories. Even if We have lost vast arable land, and humans can feed themselves without starving to death!”

Lu Jing thought to himself, it seems that the human technological reserves in this world are quite strong, and the official response speed is very fast, otherwise there will be no way to save hundreds of millions of people in the Great Nirvana.

However, this seemingly inspiring statement also reveals a sad prospect that leaves mankind helpless.

As the masters of the earth's land, humans had to give up most of the vast land and could only shrink to a few cities to survive and reproduce.

"...Our destination is Ningzhou. Ningzhou is located in the largest plain in the southwest. It has enough space to accommodate it. It also plans to focus on construction..."

Lu Jing frowned slightly. Ningzhou is the capital of the province where Heyun City sits. Before the RR virus appeared, the population had already exceeded 10 million. If Heyun City really wants to move, Ningzhou is indeed the best choice, but Heyun City It is nearly 300 kilometers away from Ningzhou, and two million people have to cross this distance... The difficulties and dangers involved are unimaginable.

But this is indeed the right decision. The monsters in the wild in the inland areas are not very powerful now, but their evolution speed is far faster than that of humans. If they wait a few more months, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

"But before that, we must solve a problem first!" Although Minister Wu is not a warrior, his eyes are murderous at this moment, and the power of having been in a high position for a long time can't help but make people look at him.

"Insect Tide!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Mingsheng, who was standing next to Lu Jing, couldn't help but his eyes were splitting, and there was a deep hatred in his eyes.

The insect waves that have attacked Heyun City several times are an unforgettable blood feud for these warriors and troops fighting on the front line. On the contrary, ordinary citizens like Lu Jing may be afraid, but they do not have such strong hatred.

Someone questioned: "The insect tide cannot be easily solved. Is it possible that Ningzhou has a solution? Or is the military going to use nuclear weapons?"

Minister Wu shook his head: "There are other countries in the coastal area that have used nuclear weapons before, but those truly powerful monsters can escape from the core explosion area before the nuclear bomb arrives and explodes. It is difficult to kill them, and the nuclear radiation has accelerated. The speed of the monster's mutation and evolution is not worth the gain, and the military will not use nuclear bombs unless it is a last resort."

"Those bugs are inexhaustible and will never be exterminated. We have no intention of clearing out these bug monsters. We just don't let them launch a wave of bugs during our great migration."

Lu Jing was a little horrified when he heard this. In fact, the real threat to most ordinary people is not those powerful monsters at the second-order beast general level, but the beast tide. If two million people of Heyun City encountered them on their way to migration, Being invaded from behind by a tide of insects is definitely a nightmare for humans.

Immediately, Lu Jing's expression suddenly changed and he blurted out: "Is there someone controlling the insect tide?"

As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of many people present changed drastically.

Minister Wu glanced at Lu Jing in surprise and nodded: "Yes, there is indeed a mastermind behind the insect waves that have invaded our Heyun City several times. This is the information from Ningzhou..."

Lu Jing's thoughts flashed through his mind. This reminded him of the Zerg for the first time, and he shuddered in his heart.

But then he denied this possibility. If it were the Zerg race, humanity would have been finished long ago. Moreover, Shennongjia is nearly a thousand kilometers away from Heyun City. Even if the Zerg queen wakes up, it will not be the first place affected.

"Most of these insect monsters are only at the first level, but their exoskeletons are extremely hard and their reproductive capabilities are extremely strong. But the most terrifying thing is that there seems to be a leader among them, which we call the Insect King."

Insect King... Lu Jing's heart was in doubt again, but Minister Wu's next words reassured him.

"Those bugs have low intelligence and will even kill each other, but the King of Bugs seems to be able to weakly influence their will on a large scale. Through snowball-like guidance and accumulation, it can form a tide of bugs and rush towards a general target direction." Minister Wu With a solemn look on his face: "The direction of the attack of several insect waves has passed through our Heyun City, which shows that the insect king definitely did it intentionally and had certain wisdom. Our goal this time is to kill this insect king."

"Even if a new insect king may be born again in the insect swarm, it will definitely take time. This is the time we have to fight for."

"This insect king can definitely be a second-order monster. The exoskeleton of these insect monsters can shield thermal radiation and electrical signals, and guided missiles cannot attack accurately. Before the missile lands, the insect king will flee and avoid the core of the explosion, so the army There is no good way, the most feasible plan at present is to form an elite sharp knife team to find it and behead it!"

Zhou Mingsheng couldn't wait to ask: "How do you know the specific location of the insect king? Did you find its lair? Then doesn't it know how to avoid it?"

Minister Wu glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Infrasound!"

<divclass="contentadv"> "The reason why the military determined that the insect king they had never met before could affect the insect swarm was because infrasound waves were detected and observed. After long-term observation, it was determined that the insect king used a certain The infrasound waves in the frequency band affect the insect swarm, which Zheng Long and Feng Yu should also be aware of." Minister Wu's eyes fell on the only two spiritual masters present.

The long-haired Zheng Long nodded: "Although the sound wave was weak, I could occasionally detect it. The source was from the direction of Wushan."

Lu Jing thought thoughtfully, because infrasound waves have a very long wavelength, they propagate over a wide distance and are not easily attenuated. Without the mental power of the Zerg Mother Queen, it is indeed the best choice to influence and guide a large number of lives on a large scale. No wonder it is just The second-level warrior level can become the insect king and trigger a beast tide.

But even if it is only a second-level monster, it is not something that anyone present can easily deal with.

"We have instruments to measure the source of infrasound waves, and spiritual masters can also sense infrasound waves. The source of infrasound waves is the Insect King."

Minister Wu looked at most of the people with serious expressions, and chuckled: "Ningzhou will also send troops for this operation. This is also the trump card for dealing with the Insect King this time, a second-level spiritual master! And he is good at it." The spiritual master who attacks mentally! He is the nemesis of the insect king!"

All the extraordinary people present were shocked, and even Zheng Long, who had always looked arrogant, couldn't help but be moved.

Mentalists are divided into two types: object control and mental attack. The object-controlling category is the vast majority of mentalists. Mentalists who are good at mental attacks are just legends. Most of the extraordinary people present only know that there are such strong people in the country.

What's more, the second-level powerhouses are indeed the top level of human combat power at present. Heyun City, which has a population of two million, does not even have a second-level powerhouse.

"Although there are many more extraordinary people in Ningzhou than we have here, and there are also second-level powerhouses, we not only have to defend Ningzhou, but also support other areas in the country. The manpower is extremely tight. This time we are willing to send a second-level spiritual mind. The division also shows that the country attaches great importance to this mission, which is related to the survival of two million people in Heyun City!"

Minister Wu said emotionally: "But this strong man alone is not enough. Even a second-level mental master cannot perform several mental attacks. Therefore, in order to avoid the consumption of mental power, before finding the Insect King, this strong man We can't take action easily to consume our mental power. We need the extraordinary beings from Heyun City to deal with the enemies along the way and escort them all the way..."

Cannon fodder...human shield...these words immediately came to Lu Jing's mind.

"I am willing to join this action team!!"

Immediately, Zhou Mingsheng next to him raised his hand with red eyes and shouted loudly, interrupting Lu Jing's thoughts.

"I do too!"

"Count me in!"

"Those bugs have killed countless of us. If I don't avenge my dead brothers, I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die one day!"

Minister Wu nodded with red eyes, smiled and waved his hand: "Listen to me, I'm not done yet!"

"This operation is not a mandatory mission, it is all voluntary. However, anyone who voluntarily participates in this operation will be recorded as a great contribution! I will not hide it from you, the superiors are developing some kind of genetic medicine that can stimulate and guide the body's gene autonomy. Evolution helps extraordinary people improve their physical strength. Once the development is successful, all the warriors and spiritual masters who participated in this operation will be on the priority list!"

Lu Jing's heart was moved. Officials actually started researching genetic medicine so early?

This kind of genetic medicine is an irresistible temptation for any warrior. As long as you embark on this path, becoming stronger is an eternal pursuit that is irresistible.

"In addition!" Minister Wu said seriously: "The spiritual master from Ningzhou will arrive in Heyun City on a small passenger plane, and will be escorted by the most advanced fighter planes."

"Everyone knows that with the railways and civil aviation currently cut off, and there are even second-level monsters appearing in the wild from time to time, unless there is a large number of fighter planes to escort them, the plane will not dare to take off at all. Of course, as long as there is no rumored appearance in the coastal areas The third-level monster is escorted by the most advanced fighter planes, so its safety is absolutely guaranteed."

"Everyone who participates in this operation has three quotas." Minister Wu showed three fingers on his right hand: "You can take this return small passenger plane, be escorted by fighter planes, and arrive directly in Ningzhou! Get free accommodation. No need to participate in this great migration.”

"If there are victims in this operation, your relatives will also be treated as martyrs. Officials will serve as guardians and enjoy free education, jobs and priority protection."

Lu Jing looked startled, then sighed heavily in his heart, and smiled bitterly in his heart. The military really hit him within three inches.

"When does the action begin?"

Minister Wu looked at Lu Jing with some surprise: "In half a month."

Although the first-level high-level combat power is not as effective as thermal weapons when facing the beast tide, it is one of the top combat powers in this decapitation operation based on elite teams. Of course, the more The better.

Half a month... is enough time.

Lu Jing nodded calmly and said, "Okay, I am willing to join this operation!"
