Chapter 437 - Absolute Firepower (1/2)

As for the invaders, they could be easily arranged. Agricultural University had a lot of monster domestication and artificial breeding projects. Unfortunately, not all monsters could be successfully tamed and become pets or cattle, especially creatures with low intelligence, like pests. No matter how they tried to modify them, it was just too easy for them to regain their wild nature.

Through his connections with Gu Jianbo and Ning Shewo, Meng Chao managed to get a bunch of monsters that could not be domesticated.

Then, he got a few Nightmarish Beasts from the monster research center. They had gone through unknown mutations during the modification process and could not be controlled by humans. They were brought in as the “boss” monsters.

This “monster invasion” was definitely stronger than the most intense invasion Blessed Heavenly Garden had ever faced.

Since they believed in the principle of everything needing to be tested through actual combat, the residents all stayed in their apartments and made preparations for war.

This was related to their families and their lives. Besides, they had their defenses modified and upgraded as an example. The residents did not have to spend a lot of money for it, and all of them were very grateful to Meng Chao, which was why they were willing to pay their full attention to ensure that the monsters witnessed the strength of Blessed Heavenly Garden’s new defenses.

For safety’s sake, Meng Chao also invited his tutor and tutoress, Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi, to come to his apartment to eat as well as observe the practical test.

He also invited a group of members from the Broken Star Club and Blue Home to be guests in Blessed Heavenly Garden.

And with himself and Zhao Feixuan, who were both in Heaven Realm, they could ensure that not a single monster would hurt any of the residents.

The practical test officially started at 09:00.

The first batch of monsters released was a dense wave of Black Beetles.

This was a black insect swarm with sharp mouth parts and mandibles. Some of them could even spit fire. They rushed fiercely at the apartments.

The apartments had long since been fortified. The windows and doors were shut by alloy armor.

But it was different from the past. The sides of the roads also had a lot of erected steel plates. There were a few gaps intentionally left between them to lead the insects into the traps that the humans had long since set up.

Those were all huge traps.

Usually, they were pits sealed shut with steel plates, and when the residents stood on them, they could be used as squares for cultivation. In battle, the steel plates would be removed, and the residents would then place the food the pests loved the most in the pits. Then, lights would flicker at a rapid pace, infrasounds that could not be heard with the human ear would sound, and interference from special magnetic fields would lure the inferior creatures into the traps.

When a large number of Black Beetles jumped into the pits, the pipes hidden above the pits immediately activated, and a large amount of sparkling adhesive liquid gushed out.

When this adhesive liquid came into contact with air, its adhesive properties instantly increased by several degrees. Then, in just a few minutes, it coagulated and glued a large number of Black Beetles until they looked like conjoined twins. No matter what, they could not be separated.

While monsters were evolving, humans were also evolving. With the power of science, they evolved at one hundred times the speed of monsters.

The adhesive liquid was a superglue made artificially by a bioweapon company after they researched the Stone Statue Fungus from the underground caves. It was much more suitable to fight against large amounts of insect swarms and rat hordes compared to any other weapon.

The Black Beetles that were stuck together started struggling fiercely. Their shells scratched together, causing metallic screeches. Even so, they could not get away.

A few times, really strong Black Beetles managed to tear apart their companion or their shell with one vicious pull, but before it could climb out of the pit, it was already partially dead.

In the end, some of the Black Beetles managed to break free of the superglue, but what awaited them was a huge net made of superalloy. It came charging at them from every angle.

Once all the Black Beetles were captured, the second round of superglue was fired.

Now, all the Black Beetles were stuck together and rooted to the spot like rocks. Not a single one of them could even dream about running.

This method not only allowed them to save up on ammunition, but also ensured the quality of the Black Beetles. It maximized the number of materials they could harvest from them.

When the testers saw that the Black Beetles had already fallen into the trap, they immediately released the second wave—a monster horde consisting of Demonic Halberd Pigs and Iron-armored Rhinoceroses.

These giants were more than five meters long, and their skins were covered in osteoma or spikes. They were not normal wild monsters.

Instead, they were monster armies developed by Agricultural University’s biochemical course and the monster research center through gene modification. They had chips implanted in their heads because humans hoped that they could use them to fight.

As long as someone controlled their chips remotely and sent electric currents at special frequencies to the central nervous system, they could control them to carry out simple tasks.

The intelligence of mammals was naturally much higher than that of insect-type monsters.

They completely ignored the traps the humans opened up for them and marched into the depths of Blessed Heavenly Garden without even looking around.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

When the monster horde charged forward with a swagger, more than one hundred disc-like objects shot out of the ground and started spinning at a high speed four to five meters above ground.

Boom! Bang!

Bright light flashed and deafening booms rose. The discs shattered, and countless fine shards with sharp edges stabbed into the Demonic Halberd Pigs and Iron-armored Rhinoceroses’ at a speed faster than bullets. They left multiple holes in their bodies, and in an instant, the monsters were covered in blood.

These were anti-monster mines modified based on anti-tank mines.

They only activated when a really huge weight was applied on them.

They were buried in the main roads of the residential area, but no matter how much the children jumped around on them, there was no worry of them detonating.

Demonic Halberd Pigs and Iron-armored Rhinoceroses were all strength-type monsters with tough skins and high defenses, so even if their skins were torn and thousands of wounds appeared on them, it would not affect their fighting strength. Instead, it would push them into an even more frenzied state.

However, Zhao Feixuan added a lot of crystals that were like glass powder and metal powder into the anti-monster mines. He also added military-grade alkaloids made of materials from chili and other solanaceae-type plants. The materials were refined so many times that they were so spicy that they had a Scoville unit of two million.
