Chapter 694 - The War Has Begun (1/2)

Translator: Doggotranslation

On the way to the fourth war zone, Chu Yunsheng thought of several countermeasures. One of them was to withdraw everyone from the fourth war zone so that the insects could smoothly pick up the tomb breeder. Based on the experience he had in the past, the insects would also be very nervous at this time. As long as they didn’t stop them and provoked them, the war between humans and the insects may not break out, but this did not mean that they would let go of the city. On the contrary, they would build a creep and gradually surround them after they get the tomb breeder.

Therefore, from a long-term perspective, they needed to fight the insects while they were still very weak at the moment. In this way, not only the military would be able to gain valuable experience, but it was also a huge boost to the morale and the solidarity of the people in the city.

. . .

Therefore, when Chu Yunsheng stood in front of the s.p.a.ce tunnel and found that the life signal of those insects were not the life signals that he was familiar with, he decided that they needed to fight this war.

However, there was no time for the meeting, a.n.a.lysis, research, and arrangement for the specific fight. The insects gathered outside the city seemed to know the determination of human beings in the city. The insects outside the fourth war zone began to swarm in like a flood.

The two main divisions and the two new recruit divisions temporarily transferred from the east of Shanghai were still crossing the bridge trying to get to the fourth war zone; the crowded refugees were desperately fleeing to the first and seventh war zones respectively, but the armored units stationed in the fourth and the seventh war zones had already begun to provide artillery fire support for the fourth war zone.

There were also missile troops in the city, but because it wasn’t a lot, the army did not use them. Before the technology had a big breakthrough, the power of those missiles were just some slightly bigger fireworks.

But the artillery sh.e.l.ls were different. All kinds of howitzers, tank guns, rocket launchers, etc. were all used. In addition, the first few batches of artillery sh.e.l.ls they used all had the additional fire elemental energy injected in by fire elemental awakeners. And all of this was because of Old Youling’s ‘selfless’ contribution.

In fact, they couldn’t be regarded as real fire energy weapons. They just used ordinary cannonb.a.l.l.s to send warheads with fire energy bombs into the swarms, and then use the explosive shock waves of the cannonb.a.l.l.s to exert the power of the fire energy explosion to the greatest extent currently possible.

In the darkness, the three major war zones’ armored artillery positions roared out streaks of light across the sky, lighting up the defense positions intermittently. Before people could smell the pungent smell of gunpowder, they had already heard the ear-piercing sound, flying over their heads. Immediately afterward, on the periphery of the fourth war zone, in the darkness behind those buildings, cl.u.s.ters of fireb.a.l.l.s appeared, illuminating the entire sky. After the ground shook violently, the deafening sound of explosions also arrived one by one.

The tremendous air shock shattered all the gla.s.s it encountered on its way to the fifth war Zone and continued to spread eastward across the river, sweeping across the vast expanse of the east of Shanghai.

In the binoculars, countless black dots were seen being lifted up in the explosion of light, like broken kites slowly flying everywhere in the sky until they fell like rains.

It was this kind of scene every time the light appeared. But it was not a good thing. It only indicated that the black dots were as dense and numerous as ants, giving all the people who had binoculars an unprecedented pressure!

They were going to face a large and disciplined man-eating creature army for the first time.

…

It was impossible to know the losses of the swarm, everywhere the swarm traveled was a no man’s land.

The troops in the three war zones had the greatest advantage in the distance from which they attacked. Without the giant tomb, the insects currently did not have the ability to initiate long-range attacks. There were also a few green-sh.e.l.led insects in the swarm. However, they were only able to deal with helicopters carrying the awakeners, and anti-air forces.
