Dark Blood Age

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 space 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, analysis, 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 shells were different. All kinds of howitzers, tank guns, rocket launchers, etc. were all used. In addition, the first few batches of artillery shells 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 cannonballs to send warheads with fire energy bombs into the swarms, and then use the explosive shock waves of the cannonballs 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, clusters of fireballs 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 glass 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-shelled insects in the swarm. However, they were only able to deal with helicopters carrying the awakeners, and anti-air forces.

But this advantage would soon be wiped out by the insects’ fierce and fearless charge. When they broke into the artillery front, it would be a unilateral massacre.

Therefore, the task of Chu Yunsheng and the elite team of awakeners was to guard this particular space tunnel where the tomb breeder would appear, forcing the insect army to fight them here, and gaining time to allow the peripheral troops to form an encirclement and drain their strength here.

If there was a Min, Chu Yunsheng definitely would not adopt such a strategy.

Without a Min’s command, the insects would only fight blindly because their only goal at the moment was to protect the tomb breeder.

Of course, Chu Yunsheng also considered emptying the space tunnel, letting the insects occupy it, and then gathering forces to surround them completely. But he was really not sure whether the insects would still hold the space tunnel after they had the tomb breeder. According to their habits, they would definitely split out some strong combat units to eliminate all the threats near the space tunnel one by one. In that way, the troops inside the city would lose their advantages.

Based on his own knowledge of the insect’s habits, Chu Yunsheng boldly made the decision to guard the entrance of the space tunnel. He borrowed an armored battalion from Liu Yimin, the fat division commander, and surrounded the space tunnel with heavy tanks, and twelve most powerful awakeners, and eight elite phantom warriors.

In the swarm’s onslaught, only those with the strongest battle armor and combat effectiveness would be able to survive. The other awakeners and phantom warriors who had no defensive equipment and lacked sufficient strength, even if he asked them to guard here, they would not be able to provide much help.

Chu Yunsheng was standing before the space tunnel in the middle of the defense force. It was not that he was unwilling to be standing at this position, but that this position could allow him to take care of the surrounding situation, rescue other people in case of emergency, and carry out the strongest attack in all directions.

In this battle, he would use offensive talismans to make sure that he would not lose this place.

And after this battle, there would be countless insect armors for him to form a battle armor army that was truly capable of large-scale combat!

…

The fierce artillery fire was still roaring repeatedly in the cold wind at this moment, and the fiery trails were like Grim Reaper’s scythe from hell, hanging above the sky. The darkness behind the buildings had now turned into a “bright” purgatory. Countless black dots were thrown into the sky and then fell down again. The sound of them smashing the ground became more and more rapidly. Through the continuous roar of explosions, people could vaguely hear the whistling sound of insects getting closer and closer.

Standing on a tall building, looking from a distance, the edge of the fourth war zone had already become a sea of fire. Roads, bridges, and buildings were turned into ruins under the rain of bombardments. The insects were piercing through the flames and rushing into the war zone at a very high speed like fearless warriors.

At this time, the armored reinforcements coming across the bridge were divided into two groups, passing through the first war zone and the seventh war zone, and marching to the rear of the insect’s army. They would converge on the westward periphery of the fourth war zone, establish temporary defense positions, and then carry out a surprise attack on this insect army from the rear in the end.

Artillery fire was still continuing. The vanguard of the insects bathed in the fierce red flames finally rushed into the dark city one after another with a fire burning their shells like soldiers of hell and appeared in the eyes of Chu Yunsheng and other people.

At the moment when the first wave of insects spat out the corrosive liquid, Chu Yunsheng also unleashed his sword qi, smashing the first wave of insects into pieces, and sending even more flying backward.

The first most fierce battle between humans and insects has finally begun.
