MTL - Please Spare Me a Tail-v2 Chapter 53
While sending flowers, the space power user also sent a lot of herbs, and these herbs immediately played an important role.
After all, in the sea of insects, no matter how well armed you are, you are still easily injured. If you squeeze this medicinal herb and apply it to the red and swollen area of the bite, the pain, itching and paralysis can be relieved instantly.
Firewood, white flowers, and medicinal herbs, these three things made the pest control operation, which involved almost half of the manpower of the base, less dangerous and smoother.
So the number of bugs began to decrease slowly. After all, no matter how many bugs there were, there was a limit.
But when the crisis in the Jiangcheng base was gradually resolved, a war between humans and insects was going on in many places around the world. Even though they were warned two days in advance, not all bases took measures as early as Yingtian base, so When things come to an end, that is, the terrible situation where the base and the safe area are besieged by insect swarms.
Under such circumstances, Bai Xiaohu was asked by General Xu if he could meet and talk face to face.
Bai Xiaohu was very surprised, but of course he agreed to this leader.
Then General Xu will come to see her in person.
Bai Xiaohu hung up the phone a little confused, and asked Wen Liansheng what the other party meant, did he make a special trip to praise her? Wen Liansheng thought for a while: "It should be to ask you to bring out more firewood and herbs."
Bai Xiaohu tilted her head. The firewood is very resistant to burning. For now, the trees she released are enough. As for the herbs, the number of people injured by insects is small, so the herbs are also enough.
Wen Liansheng reminded: "It should be used for other bases. Not long ago, a small base with tens of thousands of people was flooded by insects. Only a few dozen people escaped by plane. It is said that when the people on the plane looked down, many People have been gnawed into skeletons."
Bai Xiaohu opened his mouth, and couldn't help shivering: "So scary?"
Wen Liansheng nodded: "Anything with a large quantity will double its lethality."
"What about the big base?"
"The big base is naturally in a better condition, but it is also hard to support. I heard that we have used concentrated acid, burned it, frozen it, and dug holes and ditches around the base. Various methods have been tried, but there are still casualties.
So Jiangcheng is really lucky to have you. "
Bai Xiaohu was a little worried when he heard this, and Wen Liansheng asked, "Will it be embarrassing? Then just refuse. General Xu probably knows that it is a bit difficult to force others, so he is so solemn."
Bai Xiaohu said: "It's not a problem." It's just that the tree is about to be cut down again, but Lu Ye, the tree cutter, is not there.
Bai Xiaohu said: "I'll go back to my room, call me again when General Xu comes."
She stomped and ran back to her room on the third floor. As soon as the door was closed, she burrowed into the space, and then began to cut down trees resignedly.
She didn't cut down trees like Lu Ye with an axe. She untied her fur hair band, and with a flick of the hair band, a dozen trees fell down, the ground shook, and then there were more than a dozen more with a flick of the hair band.
Regardless of the efficiency, it consumes a lot of spiritual power.
Thousands of firewood trees were chopped down in more than ten minutes, and Wen Liansheng also reminded General Xu that he was here.
Bai Xiaohu went downstairs and saw the legendary leader of the base. She heard that this person came to greet her at the gate of the base yesterday, but she was in a bad state at the time, so she didn't even glance at his face, so naturally she didn't pay attention. To him, this is the first meeting.
This is...an ordinary-looking old man. If you don't know his identity, you can't tell if he is a general or the leader of a huge base. On the contrary, the officer following him, with the iron-blooded temperament forged by his long military career, was undoubtedly more imposing than General Xu.
However, for some reason, when you first glanced at the past, your eyes fell on this old man.
In short, he seems to be an ordinary person, but in fact he is not ordinary at all.
Wen Liansheng introduced Bai Xiaohu, and then said to General Xu: "If General Xu needs anything, just ask us to come over. You must be very busy at this time, so you have to come here specially."
General Xu waved his hand and said kindly to Bai Xiaohu: "Xiaobai is motion sick, right? I really made things difficult for you yesterday. Don't be restrained. We talked on the phone last time."
Bai Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he came here in person to take care of her motion sickness, it's not easy to take a car. She nodded: "then, what do you want to tell me?"
The people around General Xu couldn't help but look at her more.
General Xu's status and prestige in the base is getting stronger and stronger. People don't need to address General Xu when they see General Xu, especially the younger generation like Bai Xiaohu. But the girl said "you", and there was not much awe in her tone.
This is just a small detail, neither of the two parties took it to heart, but others can't help but think a little more.
General Xu sighed, and the nasolabial folds seemed to deepen a bit: "It's a bit embarrassing to say, but it's about the lives of our compatriots, so I'll ask cheekily, can you bring out more firewood and herbs?"
It was exactly as Wen Liansheng said.
Bai Xiaohu nodded straightforwardly: "Yes."
Then she went to the place prepared by others and released trees with a diameter of more than one meter and a length of 20 to 30 meters. General Xu's people immediately used a large cutting machine to cut the trees into firewood of uniform size. , quickly loaded onto the plane.
It was a huge strategic material transport plane. Most of the firewood and a small part of medicinal herbs were loaded on one plane, and it just took off in the wind and rain. Bai Xiaohu was worried that it would be blown down by the hurricane, but it took off tenaciously and smoothly , and gradually fly away.
Wen Liansheng secretly told her that these transport planes would risk crashing if they take off in this kind of weather, which shows how determined General Xu is to help other bases.
Bai Xiaohu frowned: "But even so, other bases can't get a lot of firewood, so how much can it do?"
Wen Liansheng said: "Don't worry about that, there are rare usages."
Several transport planes arrived at the central base a few hours later. This is a very huge base, and the number of people is more than ten times that of the Jiangcheng base.
What has an advantage over Jiangcheng is that this base does not lack food, armaments, and outstanding talents, and after the apocalypse, the government departments here will still operate as usual.
After getting the warning in advance and confirming that mutant insects are indeed a common phenomenon, a large number of talents here used the shortest time to calculate the whole process of the outbreak of the insect swarm, the harmful consequences it will cause, and how humans should respond is the most scientific and effective.
In just two days, the base mobilized everyone to carry out deworming inside the base.
The difference from Jiangcheng Base is that it is not windy or rainy here, which makes it easier to move around, and there is no cement on the ground here, because the commander-in-chief of the extermination operation feels that this is a temporary solution, not the root cause, and people hide underground if they don’t kill the bugs It is always a hidden danger, so he strongly ordered all the people to go out of the house, turn over the land that can be turned over, and pick out the bugs and eggs as much as possible like a sieve.
Externally, millions of troops were mobilized to make full preparations.
Two days later, humans and insects fought, but the human side still underestimated the attraction of hundreds of millions of people to these insects. Facing the rolling insect swarm, they soon became tired, and casualties followed.
"Damn it!" Looking at the sea of fire, the insect swarm could not be stopped; although the deep and wide trenches and traps dug out had some effect at first, they were quickly filled up by the insects themselves; All kinds of supernatural beings showed their own abilities, but they had little effect; those spray planes sprayed the so-called insecticide produced by the research institute over and over again, only a little bit of insects died, and the insects behind were even resistant to the medicine. There are also strange inventions such as unmanned insect killing vehicles, insect sucking machines, and cars that try to crush insects to death, hehe, they have long been overwhelmed by insects...
The commander swears. Seeing that the pure land where the bugs have been caught for several kilometers outside the base is about to lose its hold, and the bug swarm is gradually encroaching on this safe area, he really wants to send bombers to kill these bugs.
But the swarms of insects were not concentrated, and they wouldn't hit much. If it continued like this, it would really be arson on a large scale.
The commander frowned. At this moment, he got the news that the transport plane from the Jiangcheng base was about to arrive.
Will that actually work?
He is not very hopeful, but he can only try.
Half an hour later, the transport planes from the Jiangcheng base arrived, and instead of entering the base, several of them went to the abandoned city to the south of the base, and helicopters were also dispatched from the central base. A moment later, in the center of the abandoned city, a large fire broke out on the top floors of several tall buildings.
The flames are very strong and intense, with faint blue in the red, and faintly scented fragrance wafts out and spreads far away.
The commander stood on the high observation deck of the base and could not see the situation with a telescope, but the monitor next to it faithfully broadcast the live fire.
"Does this thing really work?"
Not long after the commander thought about it, he got a report that the bugs closest to the abandoned city began to swarm over there.
commander:"…"
Then the insects that were farther away also began to crawl there.
In the end, the swarm of insects that rushed towards the base most ferociously also shifted their targets.
Commander: "..." Damn this bug has a really unique taste.
Looking at the swarm of insects receding like a tide in front of them, the people who were fighting were all confused.
An hour later the abandoned city was overwhelmed by the swarm.
Two hours later, the south side of the base was completely empty, and most of the bugs seemed to have disappeared, while the buildings in the abandoned city with burning roofs, including the surrounding buildings, turned into wriggling insect pillars. It is so horrifying and disgusting that no matter how strong-willed people are, they will feel chills when they see it.
The commander licked his lips: "Fry!"
Bombers flew over the abandoned city and dropped several bombs,
Amidst the booming explosion, the bug swarm was wiped out.
Soon after, a mountain on the back of the base was reduced to a sea of insects in the same way, and was also leveled by several bombs.
Similar things happened in many bases on this day, so that on the second day, many planes flew from all directions to transport firewood.
Of course, these planes did not come empty, or they were slowly carrying food, or a lot of weapons, or precise living supplies, or a group of high-end talents.
Oh, and the leader who came over to investigate.
Bai Xiaohu has only one thought about this: Is it tiring to cut down trees?
