"Buzz buzz buzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The entire sky was filled with dark brown dust, and the vibrating sound caused the earth to tremble continuously. It was covered by countless dust devils, like a storm coming down with low pressure, but It is a thousand times more terrible than the storm! !
The town is not very big, with a few main streets and a relatively concentrated distribution of houses, factories, and buildings. These are all built with harder stones from the west, and have not become food for the dust storm worms for the time being.
But these houses have no windows. The powerful earthquake shattered the entire town's glass, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and display windows into pieces, leaving the streets in a mess...
The underground shelters were built under the buildings at the intersection of each street. Now the buildings have been filled with dust devils. There is no gap in sight. The dust devils seem to smell the breath of humans hiding underground. Trying to break through the shelter door.
"Why don't they leave? Why don't they stop until they peel us to bones?" A middle-aged man said with a tired face behind the underground stone door.
There are military mages near the underground stone gate. They take turns guarding here. Others sleep on the spot and conserve their strength as much as possible. However, there are only more than a hundred military mages behind this door, and there are thousands or ten thousand times the number. How does the genie contend?
And behind these more than a hundred military mages, the dark underground refuge hall was crowded with many trembling workers and residents. Their eyes were almost dull from exhaustion and fear!
"Can we go out?"
"I don't know." The military mage replied.
After this answer, the hall suddenly burst into tears, including children, women, and even men.
"Li Qing, can't you say something nice? I don't know what the hell it is!" the soldier on the side said angrily.
"I don't like deceiving. It's hard for the military to compete with the endless dust storm hoppers. For three days, they can't even get in touch with us. Everyone knows how scary the dust storm hoppers are. The military can't They will give up on us, I believe, but the military can't save us, and if the dust devils and grasshoppers don't disperse, we won't survive." Li Qing said in an anxious tone but pretending to be calm.
"Is what he said true?" an old man asked.
All the soldiers were silent.
"I am an old man, so I will die if I die, but my granddaughter is only eight years old. Please find a way to let her live no matter what. I beg you!" the old man begged.
"Old man, we can't survive on our own."
"Food and water can't sustain us for two days. Let's pray that the dust storm worms leave on their own."
…
…
Fifteen kilometers away from Anjiao Town, behind a natural rock formation, soldiers were quickly setting up a temporary combat command camp.
The command camp is very simple, just to avoid being discovered by the surrounding dust storm Momon.
There were four armies dispatched, each with a thousand men, led by four military commanders, and the command was given by Staff Officer Shao.
Liman belongs to the special operations battalion. It was established not long ago and has only fifty personnel. They are mainly composed of intermediate-level mages and above. Liman is the general person in charge.
When Mo Fan and others followed Li Man to the frontline combat command camp, Mo Fan saw an army wearing dark red military uniforms heading towards Anjiao Town.
The terrain where they are located will be higher, and they can have a panoramic view of the town of Anjiao, which is located in the basin. However, the black dust storm worms are like a black wind from the outside world, covering the entire Cape An. The town and its ten-kilometer radius were all covered in it. Anjiao Town was as small as an isolated rock island in the black ocean, and could easily be swallowed up by the huge waves! !
"This... is more than what we encountered in the desert at that time!" Mu Nujiao said as she looked at this shocking and horrifying scene.
"A mage army of a thousand people looks like a small leaf boat in the black tsunami. Will they be okay if they boldly enter the area where the dust storm worms are entrenched?" Zhang Xiaohou said.
"There is nothing we can do about it. The food and water in the shelter in Anjiao Town can only last for another two or three days at most. Staff Officer Shao must take action. However, the situation should not be so pessimistic. The thousand people were killed by the fire. They are composed of mages. They wear fire armor and have star track nodes. If they activate the magic energy together, they can form a fire shield similar to the town enchantment. This fire shield will attract the approaching dust storm worms. Burn them all to death. This is the only reliable way we thought of in the military headquarters camp. Let these thousand people enter the town first, bring food and water in, and find out the reason why the town barrier failed." Liman said .
"It seems they are about to enter the range of the Dust Devil Grasshopper."
"Well, is that fire barrier really useful?"
Mo Fan looked at the troops entering the devil's lair step by step, but his heart sank.
He glanced at Li Man and asked, "What's going on with the town barrier? Please tell me in detail."
"To build a city, the first thing is to build a barrier. Without a barrier, a city can't survive on a land where demons walk. After the dust storm hoppers attacked, this basin was listed as a red alert zone. The parliament is demanding that Everyone, the city, and the military headquarters were evacuated, but Muda Military Division created a flame barrier that completely isolated the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper from the fortress city. With this flame barrier, Tarim Fortress City could Develop so many surrounding towns and exploit the huge resources here as much as possible..." Liman recounted.
"Dust storm grasshoppers are afraid of fire, right?" Mu Nujiao asked.
Li Man nodded and said: "What they fear most is flames, so the flame barrier has become an absolute guarantee of safety, and has also allowed this area that was originally classified as a dangerous place to be classified as a human territory again, but... "
As Li Man spoke, he couldn't help but look at Anjiao Town, which was shrouded in dark brown by dust storm worms.
"Is there a dust devil grasshopper that is not afraid of fire?" Lingling suddenly asked.
"Impossible, dust devil grasshoppers are all afraid of fire!" Liman said with certainty.
After hearing Lingling's words, Mo Fan couldn't help but shudder. He subconsciously took out the rock crystal from his space storage.
This rock crystal was given to him by the mutated Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper before leaving. From the beginning, Mo Fan felt that something was wrong, but now that he thought about it carefully, a chill suddenly spread throughout his body!
"Hey, Mo Fan, this crystal of yours is pretty good, but why is there something in it?" Jiang Shaoxu said.
Mo Fan did not answer, but violently crushed the crystal into pieces.
The crystal of the big goose stone was broken open, and what Jiang Shaoxu said was inside was immediately revealed. It was a very deformed insect body. It had been dead for a long time, but it could still be distinguished that it was an insect. Creature from a stillborn egg! !
"This... this, how come there is an unborn insect in this crystal!"
"Is that the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper? The Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper has not yet been born and has no breath of life..." Li Man said with a surprised look on his face.
"Brother Fan, how come you have the eggs of the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
Mo Fan did not answer, but pulled Li Man and rushed towards the command camp.
Li Man didn't understand what was happening at all, but looking at Mo Fan's expression, he knew something was wrong.
Others knew that Mo Fan rarely showed such uneasy and frightened emotions, so they all chased after him.
…
…
Ten kilometers away from Anjiao Town, deafening sound waves came down, shocking the soldiers into mental confusion.
Fortunately, they used the magic nodes on the armored magic equipment to support the flame shield. Otherwise, they would be stuck in this sound wave and the mages would not be able to use any skills at all.
The leader of the team is military commander Fan Liang. He has a somewhat awe-inspiring irritability on his face. It is through this face that he inspired countless soldiers to rush to the front line fearlessly and made meritorious deeds many times!
"Don't be afraid. I have been dealing with these bugs for almost ten years. As soon as the flame barrier comes out, they will be scared to death and rush in with me. The people in the town are waiting for us. Our vanguard army will become the entire The admirable army in the west!!" Fan Liang said loudly to everyone.
They have now entered the edge of the "whirlpool" of dust storm demon grasshoppers. If they go inside, tens of thousands of dust storm demon grasshoppers will definitely pounce down.
"Remember me, we have nothing to fear!!"
"We have nothing to fear!!"
“We are invincible!!”
“We are invincible!!”
Taking advantage of this momentum, a thousand troops continued to move forward. Carrying life-saving food and water, they buried themselves step by step into the Devil's Cave.
The way back can no longer be seen clearly, but the front is completely dark, and the figure of the town is swaying alone in the "whirlpool" of demon grasshoppers.
"Fan Liang, Fan Liang, please answer when you hear it, evacuate immediately, evacuate immediately!"
A weak and disturbed voice sounded in military commander Fan Liang's communication device.
Fan Liang couldn't hear it very well. After all, the sound of the dust devil's wings vibrating in this area was the most terrifying.
"I can't hear what you said clearly. Don't worry, we will definitely complete the mission. Our vanguard army never fails to fulfill its mission!"
"I said evacuate!! I said evacuate!!!" The severely disturbed voice on the other side shouted almost in a roar.
"We have fulfilled our mission. The Tarim Fortress City we worked so hard to build will never be surrendered to this group of dirty, greedy, and disgusting bugs!!!" Fan Liang replied seriously.
"Evacuate...evacuate!"
…
…
The communication signal was interrupted, and all that came was the sound that pierced the eardrums.
At the lookout point of the command camp fifteen kilometers away, Mo Fan, Li Man, Staff Officer Shao, Zhang Xiaohou and the other three military commanders widened their eyes as they watched the army five kilometers away, witnessing them being gradually engulfed by the Dust Storm Grasshoppers... …
"Where's the fire...where's the fire?" a military commander said in a voice that was almost trembling with tears.
Staff Officer Shao stood there blankly, his whole face without a trace of blood, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Why is the flame barrier useless? Why!! Why!!!" A roaring voice rang out, echoing throughout the entire military camp.
Mo Fan looked into the distance, watching the dust storm worms pounce on the soldiers of the vanguard army, watching them smash the generals into a pile of bones.
Perhaps if I had discovered earlier that all the stone piles on the Flame Demonic Mountain were the eggs of the mutated Dust Storm Demonic Grasshopper, this tragedy would not have happened!
