After observing the underground labyrinthine caves beneath Beijing City, Sun Fei had obtained a great deal of information and data that he needed, and had also collected many research specimens, including that giant insect commander that resembled a mountain of flesh.
According to the results of the mental scan, there are approximately forty such insect commanders on Earth, distributed in underground caverns in various megacities around the world, each commanding hundreds of millions of insects.
In terms of both quantity and quality, the power of the insects on Earth cannot compare to the [ Defiler ] of the Azeroth Continent's legends, which can devour gods and demons. However, Sun Fei has clearly sensed that the insects are constantly evolving. As time goes by, the power of the insect commanders and even the lower-level insects is constantly increasing.
That's the scariest part.
The insectoids of the Azeroth Continent didn't initially possess a decisive advantage; rather, they overwhelmed the gods and demons through sheer numbers and rapid evolutionary adaptation. This is remarkably similar to the current situation on Earth, further proving that the Insect Race are indeed the legendary world-destroying " Defiler."
Based on what we know now, the insects that descended on Earth likely came from some mysterious plane or star system. In other words, they are probably only a small part of this terrifying race, like a drop in the ocean. An even more terrifying being is hiding deep within the universe or another plane.
Perhaps, just as the legends say, the [ Defiler ] are slowly awakening from their slumber and beginning another round of hunting and reaping.
Earth is likely just the beginning.
The Azeroth Continent, and many high-energy planes similar to the Azeroth Continent, will be the next target of the bugs.
Sun Fei, accompanied by Wang Jian, the beautiful Jian Jie, and several people who claimed to be leaders, appeared in the skies above a city in Northwest China.
Surrounded by mountains, including the majestic Qin Mountains, and with major rivers flowing around it, the terrain is relatively conservative, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The number of insects is also relatively small. After the initial panic and chaos following the disaster, the Chinese army and many other national forces had already moved to this city and built fortifications around it using the Ancient Great Wall. It has not yet fallen.
According to Sun Fei's mental scan results, this should be the largest base city in all of China, with tens of millions of people living in this crowded city.
But as time went by, after conquering other places, the insects began to flock to the city.
The defensive pressure here is increasing.
Looking down from the sky, the entire city was surrounded by structures built on the mountainside, ancient city walls, and dams. Outside the high walls, swarms of insects, like a tidal wave, surged in from all directions, forming a siege around the city like a well-trained and tightly coordinated army.
The vanguard of the insects has begun contact with the human army defending the city.
A brutal battle is underway.
The sounds of cannons and gunfire rang out incessantly, and smoke filled the air.
Fear is slowly consuming the hearts of every survivor.
"Don't panic, hold your gun steady, aim and fire!"
On the eastern side of the city, atop a hundred-meter-high defensive fortress built of quick-drying cement, a young officer in his twenties was directing his soldiers to mow down the swarming insects below. Bullets sprayed out like tongues of fire. Ordinary heavy weapons often required more than a dozen bullets to kill even a single low-level insect. Only continuous barrages of artillery fire could truly threaten the insects.
The situation was becoming increasingly dire, and the young officer's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
Everyone could see that the insects were evolving. As time went by, the insects appearing outside the city were getting bigger and bigger, and their defenses were getting stronger and stronger. Among them were even some highly agile monsters like monkeys, which could easily climb the hundred-meter-high walls and slaughter the soldiers!
Helicopters took off and dropped solid, high-intensity incendiary bombs downwards.
Radio waves crisscrossed the air, and officers at every position around the city felt immense pressure.
" Lao Liu, how's it going on your end?" A hoarse voice came through the military walkie-talkie.
The young officer sighed and said, "My regiment is still holding out, but even with ample ammunition, I'm not sure how much longer we can hold out. The insects are changing; they might..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Rumble rumble rumble!!!
A series of violent explosions rang out. The young officer looked up and saw dozens of armed helicopters that had not yet returned to base suddenly explode in the sky, like giant fireworks, shattered into pieces, with debris falling from the sky and emitting blue smoke.
"What's going on? Can the insects attack the air now?" the young officer exclaimed in surprise.
For the past few days, the air force has been the dominant force for humanity. The insects have no air defense capabilities, so the human air force has been able to wipe them out on a large scale. If even this advantage is lost, then humanity will truly be doomed.
"What the hell? What is that?" a soldier shouted.
The young officer looked up and saw black monsters, three or four meters long, flapping their bony wings, buzzing through the air like giant dragonflies magnified countless times, gliding towards the human fortifications.
Flying insects?
Did they destroy the attack helicopter?
Everyone's face turned ashen.
We're doomed!
With the insects now possessing an air force, humanity has completely lost its advantage, and the plan to protect the city through strong fortifications has utterly failed.
Their fate of destruction was already sealed.
"Hiss hiss hiss..." Amidst the sharp, piercing hiss, swarms of flying insects appeared from the horizon and swooped down on the city, heralding its doom.
The young officer sighed, glanced back, his eyes filled with reluctance and longing.
Behind him were his elderly parents, his best friends of many years, his virtuous wife, and his two intelligent and lovely children. This was his last motivation to fight on the front line. But now, he was powerless to protect them anymore. Disaster was about to befall his loved ones.
"Let us sleep together forever!" The young officer drew his sidearm and pointed it at his temple.
But the next moment, as he turned around, preparing to face the insects and commit suicide by swallowing bullets, he suddenly froze, completely solidified in place, his eyes flashing with disbelief and ecstatic joy.
