Chapter 24 Pesticides, Chaos
Wu Siyuan originally thought that with his participation, the official power would be strengthened and the tragedy in the original work would not occur.
But in the end he discovered that he was wrong!
Wu Siyuan realized that he had underestimated this apocalypse.
It is true that the special bullets and powerful equipment synthesized by Wu Siyuan have greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the army. This can be seen from the continuous receipt of high-level mutant beast materials by Wu Siyuan's equipment department.
However, in the apocalypse, it is not only beasts that mutate, insects are also constantly mutating.
Seemingly overnight, these mutated insects appeared all over Hedong City, spreading death and panic.
Corrosive earthworms appeared around Jingyue Community. As pedestrians walked, a large hole half a meter wide would suddenly appear on the ground. The walls of the hole were very smooth, and the surface was covered with a layer of clear and greasy mucus, exuding a strong stench.
After a person fell into this hole, except for a scream, he never came out again.
There are not just one or two such holes, but many.
You never know when you are walking on the road and a big hole will appear in the ground!
Seven or eight people have died so far. The armed police have cordoned off the surrounding area, but they have never been able to catch the corrosive earthworms hidden underground.
People around were panicked.
And the blockade is useless, because the corrosive earthworms can move underground.
The problem of corrosive earthworms has not yet been solved, and a large number of unexplained deaths have occurred across the city.
Some of them were at home, following what their relatives said, and suddenly fell to the ground and died.
Some of them were outside. They had just bought food and died suddenly within a few steps of walking out of the store.
Some were sleeping and suddenly died while asleep.
All in all, he died suddenly, with no trace at all from the outside.
After a long investigation, the armed police accidentally discovered that the culprit was a mutated mountain mosquito.
This mountain mosquito is half the size of a fist, its body is translucent, and it flies silently. You can't spot it unless you look carefully.
It was this mutated mountain mosquito that bit these people and caused an explosion of toxicity that would lead to their immediate death.
The culprit was found, but the authorities were temporarily unable to do anything about this mutant mountain mosquito.
Regardless of whether mosquitoes mutate or not, humans cannot eliminate mosquitoes once and for all.
Even though officials have informed people of the cause of death and asked them to be careful, reports of people being bitten to death by mountain mosquitoes appear every day.
The mountain mosquito issue has not been resolved yet, and [living dead] have appeared in Hedong City.
This kind of [living dead], if there are no living objects around it, will be like a corpse and will not move.
But once there are living objects in the surrounding area, especially humans, then this kind of "living dead" seems to be stimulated by something, breathing rapidly, and the heart begins to beat violently, then the hands and feet twitch, the eyelids shake, the study opens, revealing A pair of extremely penetrating eyes, a depressing sound like constipation comes from deep in the throat, the mouth is wide open, drooling continuously, and the body becomes flexible in just a few seconds, attacking living objects like a wild beast.
At first, everyone else thought it was a zombie virus and were too scared to get close for fear of being infected.
After all, the Americans love to make zombie movies and TV series. Thanks to them, many people in the country also know about zombies.
In the end, it was discovered that these [living dead] are not zombies and have no ability to spread. The reason why they can still move after death is actually controlled by the puppet bugs in their minds.
The puppet worm looks like a centipede, with a white body. Both sides of its body are covered with slender and soft little legs, which are so densely packed that it is impossible to count them.
Although the life energy level is only white, which is the so-called level 1 mutant insect, its harm cannot be simply assessed using this level.
Because the destructive power caused by the puppet worm is actually determined by the corpse it parasitizes.
The stronger the host, the greater the devastation caused by the puppet bug.
If the puppet worm is allowed to parasitize a green-level mutant beast, the destructive power caused by the puppet worm will be unimaginable.
The problem of the [living dead] is relatively easy to solve, but what cannot be saved is the human heart.
Problems arise one after another. Even if humans can survive to this day, their psychological endurance is very strong, but they have reached a limit.
No one in the entire Hedong City dared to come out. Even the underground base in Lanshan District, which had been working day and night, had to stop work. The entire city was lifeless.
Not to mention other insect infestations.
Dark red cockroaches as big as shuttles would crawl out of the toilet sewer every night and crawl onto the sleeping owner of the house. The next day, there would be nothing but clothes on the bed.
For example, red-eyed golden-winged flies that mutate into the size of handkerchiefs will lay their eggs on humans. The fly eggs will hatch when they feel the temperature of the human body, and then burrow under the skin of the human body and use the flesh and blood of the human body. for food.
As the fly grows, the human body becomes more and more fragile, so fragile that even the slightest touch will turn it into a bloody hole.
And during this process, people will feel special pain, and most people will die of pain.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The originally good situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.
The government receives reports of various deaths every day.
According to statistics, in the seven days since the plague broke out, more than 200,000 people died in Hedong City.
Even if Hedong City takes in the population of cities in Jiangnan Province, it has three to four million more people than in the original work, and currently has a total of more than 11 million people.
But he couldn't help the speed of death.
If it is not curbed, everyone in the entire city will die in less than two months.
Officials also came to ask Wu Siyuan if there was a solution? Can targeted large-scale equipment be manufactured?
It was very helpless that the effects of the equipment produced by [Synthetic Technique] were beyond Wu Siyuan's control and had a lot to do with the raw materials.
There was nothing Wu Siyuan could do about it.
The officials had already expected it, and they did not put all their hopes in Wu Siyuan.
Under heavy pressure, the Mutated Biology Research Department developed a spray against mutant insects in a very short period of time.
After repeated experiments in the laboratory, it has been proved that it is effective against mutated insects.
It is very toxic and harmful to the human body, but as long as the concentration and dose of inhalation are not high, the damage to the human body is still within an acceptable range. .
But this is a preliminary experiment.
If we follow the normal process, more experiments will be needed to prove it.
But Hedong City ran out of time.
If the harm of mutated insects is not solved as soon as possible, the entire Hedong City will collapse.
Therefore, Hedong City officials had no choice but to make the decision to put the pesticide online and spray it throughout the city.
However, in order to reduce the possible harm caused by pesticides, the official issued a gas mask to each resident. Of course, we cannot say this in publicity. We only tell the public that it is specially distributed in consideration of the fact that some people may have allergic reactions.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …
In the apocalypse, the government is very efficient when it comes to survival.
The day after Wu Siyuan got the news, the Hedong Municipal Government was going to carry out [pest control] in the whole city!
There was almost no time for Wu Siyuan to voice his objections.
Prior to this, government staff had announced the news to all citizens.
At 9:50 in the morning, the piercing air-raid sirens passed through the silent Hedong City and kept hovering over the city. As the time slowly approached ten o'clock, the roar of the aircraft suddenly sounded, and a huge silver-white large-scale The bomber passed by at a low altitude and hovered in the air. The edges of the metal wings on both sides suddenly sprayed out more than a dozen streams of white mist, fluttering down in mid-air.
The concentration of white fog is very high.
Wu Siyuan was in the community where he lived, with Zhao Yali and others, quietly looking at the scene outside the window.
Although Zhao Yali and the others were under the care of Wu Siyuan, so their lives were relatively stable, but faced with this situation, they still felt uneasy.
How should I put it? Human beings are all unknown things, and they will feel uneasy in their hearts.
After a while, a fog seemed to rise outside the window, and the surrounding visibility dropped rapidly.
Even through the gas mask, Wu Siyuan could smell an unusually pungent smell.
This toxicity is not simple.
Also, even before the end of the world, pesticides against common pests are harmful to the human body, but the dosage is low and not obvious, and they are quickly metabolized by the human body.
But this may not be the case with apocalyptic pesticides.
In the apocalypse, mutated creatures are in better shape than humans. How can pesticides that can kill them be harmless to humans?
This is something anyone with a little bit of brain can think of.
Officials had warned Wu Siyuan before and asked him to take precautions.
So Zhao Yali and the girls spent a whole morning blocking all the gaps from the windows and doors with soaked cloth strips, but this could not completely prevent the penetration of the medicine.
Under the gas masks, all the girls were filled with fear and uneasiness, and they leaned against Wu Siyuan unconsciously.
Wu Siyuan could only comfort them, and then quietly watch the development of the situation outside.
The bombers outside kept circling, and hundreds of millions of tons of poisonous gas agents continued to pour down from the sky above the city. The fog outside the windows was getting thicker and thicker, and visibility was getting lower and lower. Even Wu Siyuan could only Seen seven or eight meters away.
Drops of slightly yellowish turbid liquid began to condense on the window. Then, under the action of gravity, it slid down the smooth glass, leaving ugly traces.
A mutated mosquito the size of a child's fist fluttered in front of the window as if drunk. Under the worried gaze of everyone, it hit the window heavily, and the glass made a muffled sound.
The mutant mosquito then died.
"This potion is indeed effective against these mutated insects." The girls who saw this scene all showed joy on their faces.
However, the joy did not last long. Wu Siyuan's keen perception allowed him to detect a vibration on the ground.
A minute later, the official emergency call from Hedong City came to Wu Siyuan.
"Minister Luo, there are special circumstances. Please return to the military area station as soon as possible. The vehicle we sent to pick you up is already on the way."
"What happened?" Wu Siyuan frowned, feeling an ominous omen in his heart.
"It's not very clear yet. Because of the pesticide spraying, the visibility is not enough. There seems to be some mutated beasts in the city that broke through the defenses and got in."
"There is a mutant beast among them, which is near your community. The military has sent personnel to deal with it. Before that, for your safety, please move as soon as possible." The person on the other side of the phone said.
Wu Siyuan's frown deepened, and he said, "Didn't you make a plan in advance? Don't you have a plan to deal with this situation?"
"Sorry! In the face of this epic natural disaster, many things happened unexpectedly. We...have tried our best!" The other person on the phone was silent for a moment, and then said in a heavy tone.
At the end, he said, "Minister Luo, your abilities are extremely important to human survival. Please prepare for transfer immediately. The vehicles arranged by the military will be near you soon."
Wu Siyuan's brows furrowed into the character "Chuan" and he asked, "What on earth is happening now?"
"Sorry, due to visibility, we don't have much information at the moment."
"..." Wu Siyuan hung up the phone silently.
The girls all looked at him worriedly. Now, Wu Siyuan was the backbone of the girls, and they were all very afraid that Wu Siyuan would leave them.
Wu Siyuan comforted the girls, saying, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen." "
Then he turned his gaze out the window.
At this time, the authorities are also blind, so they can only rely on themselves.
Fortunately, [Star Seed] woke up.
Fortunately, I had [initiated] the top ten [Transformers] before.
Wu Siyuan immediately ordered in his mind the [Tianyun], [Straight Line], [Air Guard], [Prophet], and [National Fortune] among the top ten [Transformers], to let these [Transformers] with the ability to fly ], all dispatched to detect the entire Hedong City and surrounding areas, and find out what happened!
The five [Transformers] accepted the order. They originally returned to the military establishment, whether they were parked in a closed base, parked at an open-air military airport, or driven by a driver, performing detection missions. At this moment, they all Acting on the orders of [Master of Star Seed], they took off and hovered over the entire mist-shrouded Hedong City, transmitting the scenes they saw with radar or other observation equipment to [Four-Armed King Kong], who would then monitor them. The information is analyzed and finally fed back to Wu Siyuan through [Star Seed].
The military has gone into chaos because of the independent actions of these five [Transformers], and no one knows what happened!
As for Wu Siyuan, he had just finished giving orders to [Transformers] when he suddenly became interested in the insecticide mist outside.
He asked Master Wang, an evolver who had inspired telepathy, to ingest a mist of medicine in front of him.
Wu Siyuan used [Identification Technique] to take a look.
"Pesticide."
"Rarity: Light Blue."
"Weight: 5g."
"Texture: Mist."
"Additional effect: It has a strong toxic effect on certain types of mutated mosquitoes."
"Evaluation: This is a toxic substance extracted from the body of a certain blue-level mutant beast. It is mixed with other chemicals to form an insecticide. It is highly toxic to certain types of mutant mosquitoes and can accelerate certain types of corrosion. The evolutionary speed of mutated insects such as earthworms has a stimulating and exciting effect on many mutated beasts."
When Wu Siyuan saw the identification result, his expression suddenly changed.
He remembered.
It turns out that in the original book, the beast tide that destroyed the entire city after spraying pesticides was caused by this thing.
Damn it!
