Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Searching for Weapons

Arctic Circle.

The originally desolate and icy region is now bustling with activity, dotted with military-green tents.

In addition to this, many people are digging ice caves under the guidance of a group of officials.

Indeed, a tent alone here can freeze a person to death. Without any solid stone houses, ice caves can also serve as places for warmth, at least able to shield against the biting cold wind.

The senior leadership of the Eastern Hemisphere have almost all run here, and intuitively, a certain distance is maintained between the camps.

Hua Nation’s camp command center.

“Thirteen spatial channels have appeared within the Anzhong military district. Under the command of Commanding Officer Yang Xiaotian, they have all been controlled and established a fixed defense line. We can confirm that those bugs will certainly die as soon as they appear…”

“Well done!” Yao Zhenguo clapped his hands. At this time, such good news is indeed worth celebrating.

“What about other military districts?”

“There are a total of fifty-five provincial military districts, eight hundred and thirty-five training bases and one thousand five hundred underground secret bases…”

“In the provincial military districts, forty-four military districts have successfully controlled the spatial channels, ensuring the alien bugs cannot spread…”

“What’s the situation with the eleven districts?”

“These eleven military districts, because the spatial channels appeared too densely, are still fighting…”

“Eight hundred and fifty-three training bases suffered heavy casualties due to insufficient equipment power…”

“As for the secret bases located underground, there is still no sign of alien bug invasion and they remain intact!”

Yao Zhenguo’s expression grew serious. The current human equipment, all made to fight against humans, ordinary guns and bullets can’t pose much of a threat to these alien bugs with shells.

Only those heavy firepower shells can really effectively kill the Black Beetles – the name scientists have tentatively given to these “cockroaches.”

If the problem of the insufficient power of the guns and weapons is not solved now, it will be very difficult to dispatch troops to recapture lost ground.

An officer continued, “In addition, we have now lost contact with our country. Initially, we judged that the black dark matter is affecting the signal…”

“Aren’t the satellites still usable?” Yao Zhenguo looked at the real-time satellite image on the computer in front of him, feeling puzzled.

The officer explained, “Although the satellites can be used, there is already no signal reception in our country, even the Super Signal Tower we built underground previously can’t receive any signal…”

Yao Zhenguo nodded, “Okay, I see. What are the casualties like?”

“Because we had warned through the television media beforehand, most of our residents stayed inside their houses. Our casualties are much better compared to the countries in the Western Hemisphere…”

“However, those people gathered on the highway, basically all…”

Without the officer stating it clearly, the prospects for those people were expected to be slim!

“Keep a close eye on the situation everywhere and report any updates to me at any time!”

…

Nanyuan City – Experimental Middle School.

Half an hour has passed since the appearance of the spatial channels. Eight beetles have come out of the channel on the playground. All of them, except for one that is still wandering around the teachers’ dormitory, have gathered below the students’ dormitory.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

The Black Beetle that fought with Du Gang, as if knowing that it could go upstairs after entering the human building, kept hitting the iron door on the first floor with its head.

With each bang, the students upstairs trembled in their hearts.

It’s because it kept making noise that all the other Black Beetles came here too. Apart from the boys’ dormitory door, there are Black Beetles hitting the iron door below the girls’ dormitory.

At this moment, the dormitory 601 upstairs was full of students.

This is Du Gang’s dormitory. Since he demonstrated his power, the students ran over spontaneously, as if they felt very safe being with him.

“Du Gang, think of a way. The doors downstairs are not strong enough…”

At this point, no one cared to ask why Du Gang could become bigger. They only knew he was formidable and could fight the giant “cockroaches” and regarded him as their backbone.

With so many pairs of hopeful eyes on him, Du Gang also felt a little anxious.

What could he think of?

He only has seven minutes left to transform. The reset time is midnight, still four to five hours away.

Although his powers have greatly increased, they couldn’t even break the beetle’s defense, unless he had some weapon…

Du Gang quickly asked, “Are there any sharp weapons? My transformation time is limited, my strength is very strong, but I can’t kill these beetles with just my fists in a short time. Do you know of any weapons suitable for me to use after I transform?”

As soon as he said this, everyone began to think.

Soon, Ma Li said, “I know where there is one. At the back of Class 7, there is a steel pipe. I often see them playing with that thing after class…”

Du Gang shook his head, “It’s too short and too thin, it can’t be used!”

If it were solid, it might be usable, but he’d seen the steel pipe Ma Li was talking about. It was hollow and probably would bend on hitting the beetle.

Soon, someone else suggested, “Can the kitchen knife from the cafeteria be used?”

“Kitchen knife?”

Du Gang thought for a moment, not in a hurry to deny it, and continued to ask, “Are there any other things? Preferably bigger and harder!”

“I know!”

A male student outside the door shouted.

The crowd instantly made way for him. He rushed in and quickly said, “The new experimental building in our school has an extra steel column, very thick, and about three to four meters long…”

Du Gang was sceptical, “Is there? How come I don’t know?”

He had just been to the experimental building to test the transformation during recess today. After it ended, he even found a set of workers’ camouflage clothes in the building to wear. In his memory, there were no thick and long steel columns.

Seeing Du Gang’s disbelief, the male student quickly explained, “It’s on the roof of the experimental building, I was sitting on the steel column there last night…”

Before Du Gang could question him, the other students curiously asked, “What were you doing on the roof of the experimental building last night?”

“I went there with my girlfriend…” The boy’s voice dropped and his face flushed.

A steel column three to four meters long, Du Gang made a quick judgment and felt that this weapon could be used.

So he said, “Okay, all of you wait here, I’ll go fetch that thing from the experimental building…”

As he finished saying this, he once again pulled open the window and jumped out.

Even before he could jump out, An Ya voiced her concern, “Be careful!”

Du Gang nodded slightly and jumped right out.

The Black Beetles below saw a “meal” jumping down from the building above and excitement rose among them. They all propped up their bodies, eager to get the first bite.

“Transform!”

Unfortunately, they were disappointed. The man in the air turned into a giant over three meters tall halfway down. He directly crushed a Black Beetle with his foot, jumped up, leveraged a step, sprang several meters, and leaped towards the direction of the experimental building.

All the Black Beetles suddenly gave up hitting the door and started chasing in the direction Du Gang disappeared into.
