Ch 132: Global Alert! Disaster Frenzy!
Mexico.
Kima Wakan.
The area where the gunfight originally broke out is now empty, with only some bloodstains and shell casings remaining on the ground. The surroundings are silent, and even the poor people living nearby have all fled.
People are always filled with fear of the unknown, not to mention the tragic deaths of the victims. Anyone who has seen it, even the ruthless gang members, will wake up from their beds in the middle of the night, not to mention the poor people at the bottom of society who are struggling to survive.
Nowadays, only some fully armed Military Officers are staying and patrolling the outer perimeter.
It’s not that they want to come here, but after the incident became public, the higher-ups forcibly demanded that they investigate the scene, at least to figure out what caused so many deaths.
Under normal circumstances, if the police enter the slum area, which is mixed with gangs and rampant crimes, they could be attacked if they are not careful, and even die on the spot.
Only this time, all the gangs are restraining their manpower, allowing the police to go deep into the slums and come to the scene, and even actively provide them with corresponding help.
Because if the same Disaster comes again, the police may be able to retreat, but as gangs rooted in the slums, they will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses, and it is possible that their power will collapse if they are not careful.
This is destined to be a sleepless night, everyone is nervously waiting outside, waiting for the enemy that may come.
As time passed, a faint buzzing sound quickly rang out, and they finally saw the enemy rushing towards them.
“Quick!”
“Shoot!”
Almost at the first moment, the Military Officer stationed at the scene quickly gave the order.
Flames spewed out, and rows of bullets quickly sprayed into the air.
Occasionally, Tangyuan-sized Demon Bugs were shot down on the spot.
But compared to the bullets, the number of Demon Bugs was still too large, and they were also too small, and the Barrage couldn’t cover them all.
“Net gun!”
More than a dozen police officers immediately took out net guns and fired at the front.
The specially made fine metal nets did indeed trap a bunch of Demon Bugs, but under their shocked gaze, the fine nets made of special alloys were quickly corroded and broken by the Demon Bugs. A large group of Demon Bugs fiercely pounced towards the crowd. The black Bulletproof Vest couldn’t resist at all. The screams quickly erupted, gradually spreading into pieces, and frantically spreading around.
……
Philippines.
Makati City.
Abandoned underground tunnel in the city.
Because of the Tragedy that broke out before, the entire abandoned tunnel has been Sealed, and a state of martial law is being implemented around it, prohibiting unauthorized personnel from approaching.
Only some military police and doctors wearing biochemical protective suits are stationed and investigating nearby.
Many cameras are also set up outside to monitor the surrounding movements at any time.
Inside the tunnel, several doctors wearing fully Sealed protective suits, accompanied by military police, are holding high-pressure spray disinfection devices to carry out large-scale disinfection of the scene.
However, before they could finish walking through the entire tunnel, a faint buzzing sound suddenly came from the area that had just been disinfected. The military police guarding nearby couldn’t help but turn their heads to look, and saw one by one Tangyuan-sized Insects crawling out of the drain that had been sprayed with broad-spectrum insecticide, and then they all flapped their wings and rushed towards them.
“Shoot!”
“Shoot!!”
Amidst a series of gunshots, the doctors performing the disinfection operation nearby also raised their spray heads and sprayed insecticide at the Demon Bugs.
However, the insecticide that can eliminate most pests and even have a great impact on some other insects has no effect on the Demon Bugs that are attacking head-on.
Screams quickly erupted and spread towards the outer perimeter of the tunnel.
The few military police who ran the fastest had just rushed out of the tunnel when they were immediately wrapped by the swarming Insect Swarm behind them. In the blink of an eye, only the emaciated human skin skeletons were left, and they fell to the ground, swaying.
The Insect Swarm quickly spread around, and the sounds of screaming, screaming, and running became the only melody of this night.
And all of this was faithfully recorded by the surrounding cameras.
……
Ecuador, Papua New Guinea… One after another Pacific Coast countries, the same Disaster broke out again, and the preparations people made in advance were almost ineffective against these Demon Bugs.
During the day, many countries hadn’t reacted yet, but Mexico issued a notice at the first moment and activated a state of national emergency—
Last night, a large-scale unknown Creature attack occurred in the Kima Wakan slum, causing serious casualties. To contain the spread of the situation, the President, in accordance with the 《 National Security Law 》 Article 12, announced that a state of emergency would be declared nationwide from today:
Military control will be implemented in Kima Wakan and the area within a 5-kilometer Radius, and non-rescue personnel are prohibited from entering;
The military is authorized to use all necessary means to eliminate the threat, and the public needs to cooperate with the evacuation;
A 24-hour hotline （ emergency number: 078） to report abnormal situations.
The Mexican government promises to fully protect the safety of its citizens and regularly update the progress of the disposal.
Seeing this emergency notice issued by the Mexican government, the world was immediately shocked, and governments of various countries sent contacts to Mexico.
And many domestic citizens in Mexico, as well as a large number of Foreign citizens, didn’t know what had happened for a while, and felt very confused about this notice.
However, as the on-site disaster videos from the Philippines, as well as disaster videos from other places, were uploaded one after another, the entire network immediately caused an unprecedented sensation:
“What’s going on? AI? TV series?”
“Don’t say, this shaking special effect is quite realistic.”
“Realistic? That’s too realistic! This is the disaster video of the scene!!”
“Are you kidding? I can understand if you say people were bitten to death by Bugs, but this sucking into skin and bones in an instant, show me one in reality?!”
“Are you all discussing Fire Sickle Ants? 【 Picture 】”
“These Fire Sickle Ants are not even Blue Star creatures, and even if they are Fire Sickle Ants, the result of the attack is much more tragic than this, and they won’t even leave you with human skin!”
“What exactly is going on? Why are there so many of these disaster videos everywhere overnight? Is there a large-scale Bug Disaster outbreak?”
“No wonder Mexico has to implement a state of emergency. Once these things are allowed to spread, the entire country will be on the verge of destruction if they are not careful.”
“It’s so terrifying, is this still our peaceful Blue Star? Although the Bug Disaster is currently limited to Mexico and a few other countries, those Bugs can fly. Once they invade neighboring countries and even spread on a global scale, the scene is simply unimaginable!”
“What about the Da Qian official? Say something! These ghost Bugs have all gone to the Philippines. The next step might be to invade our country. Quickly formulate defense measures!!”
……
People all over the world felt very panicked, and governments of various countries were also urgently researching countermeasures.
Da Qian.
No. 4 Aircraft Carrier, Small conference room.
A lot of first-hand information related to the Demon Bug attack incident was placed in front of the participants.
Military Officer Little Li stood in front of the projection screen and explained with the video and PPT:
“…Currently, it has been confirmed that there are serious disaster situations in as many as twelve countries, including Mexico, the Philippines, Ecuador, and Papua New Guinea. Other nearby countries have also observed the appearance of Demon Bugs and related cases.
As for the countries that have not experienced the outbreak of the invasion incident, it is not certain whether the Demon Bugs have not yet invaded, or whether the invasion cases have not been discovered. However, in terms of the spread speed of the Demon Bugs, it will be a very high-probability event to affect other countries and even spread to the world.
The countries that were first invaded, although spread across various continents, are basically located on the Pacific Coast. Combining the ocean currents and weather conditions on the Pacific Ocean in the past few days, as well as the various Characteristics exhibited by these Demon Bugs, we judge that the Demon Bugs should have flown out from the Island.
Currently, the relevant intelligence has been submitted to the Joint Command, and the Command is urgently researching how to trace the source of the Demon Bugs on the Island, how to limit the activity range of the Demon Bugs on the Island, and avoid further spread. Related monitoring measures and defense measures are all under urgent discussion.
In addition, regarding the situation of the Demon Bugs, according to the first-hand on-site information provided by the affected countries, we have now roughly summarized some of the characteristics related to the Demon Bugs—
They are active at night and dormant during the day, with a conventional size of Tangyuan, a relatively hard outer shell, and transparent membranous wings. They fly extremely fast, and ordinary people cannot escape. At least the physical fitness of Transformation Force level is needed to avoid them.
They are equipped with a needle-like Mouth, which can secrete corrosive liquid. It can not only corrode various metals such as special alloys, but also exert extremely special effects after piercing into the creature’s body, and can melt the relevant tissues in the creature’s body into liquid and suck them in a very short time.
They usually act in groups. According to the disaster videos, the number of the group is at least more than a thousand, and can reach a scale of sixty to seventy thousand at most. It is not ruled out that this is the limit of the number itself, and the scale can be further expanded.
According to the means of dealing with the Demon Bugs in the affected countries, it can be determined that the Demon Bugs are not affected by broad-spectrum insecticides and other types of insecticides. Bullets can cause damage to them, but the efficiency is usually too low. The high-temperature flames produced by Flamethrowers are effective, but they are extremely cold-resistant and not affected by Liquid Nitrogen. In addition, they have the obvious Characteristic of fearing Strong Light.
The corpses of the Demon Bugs and some of the captured Demon Bugs have been sent to our country by the affected countries for further analysis and research on the Demon Bugs.
But before the results of the research are obtained, the Demon Bugs will most likely have invaded our country. We need to formulate various response plans in advance to minimize the disaster losses after the Demon Bugs invade.
The following are the several most likely invasion points that have been inferred so far…”
As the meeting progressed, the huge national machine immediately started to operate, and the materials and personnel to deal with the Demon Bugs were immediately mobilized on a large scale throughout the country.
The relevant announcements were also released online in a timely manner to explain the situation to the public and provide response suggestions—
Emergency Announcement of the Da Qian National Security Council
In response to the unknown Creature （ provisionally called “Demon Bugs” ） attack incident that broke out in Pacific Coast countries such as Mexico and the Philippines, after analysis by relevant departments, the Demon Bugs may invade our country through cross-regional flight, long-distance diffusion, and other means. The announcement is as follows:
I. Risk Warning
Transmission routes:
Airborne diffusion: The Demon Bug Swarm has the ability to fly at night and can migrate long distances with the monsoon or airflow, threatening coastal and inland areas.
Concealed invasion: It may sneak in through abandoned tunnels, port cargo, cross-border transportation, and other carriers, which need to be thoroughly investigated.
Characteristic description:
The Demon Bugs are active at night and dormant during the day, fly fast, and have a large group scale, and can secrete corrosive liquid to suck biological tissues.
They are immune to conventional insecticides, bullets, and low temperatures, but they fear Strong Light and high-temperature flames.
II. Defense measures
Border control:
A 24-hour radar monitoring system has been activated in coastal areas across the country, focusing on the investigation of potential invasion points such as abandoned tunnels, ports, and airports.
Customs and border defense departments strengthen the quarantine of goods and personnel, and immediately report any abnormalities （ hotline: 12345）.
Public protection:
Avoid going out at night, and close doors and windows; if a Demon Bug Swarm is found, immediately turn on a strong light source （ such as searchlights and car lights ） to drive them away.
If insect eggs or corrosion marks are found, do not touch them, and professional personnel are required to handle them.
III. Emergency mobilization
Military deployment:
The military has deployed Flamethrowers, strong light equipment, and high-frequency sound wave insect repellents and other targeted equipment, and organized Martial Cultivators of Transformation Force level to stand by.
Temporary isolation zones have been set up in coastal areas to prevent the Demon Bugs from spreading inland.
Medical support:
The medical system has stored anti-corrosion agents, and emergency clinics have been set up in hospitals across the country for 24 hours.
IV. Information transparency
The progress of the disposal will be released through the official website and social media at 18:00 every day. Please do not spread unverified videos.
If you find traces of Demon Bugs or any abnormalities, immediately call the hotline or report through the official APP.
The Da Qian government promises to fully protect the safety of its citizens. Please remain calm and cooperate with the emergency deployment.
And not long after the announcement was released, Qi Xuan’s Sky Screen Live Stream was once again opened globally.
In the lens, because of the Cataclysm caused by the Sun Collapse, Qi Xuan is still struggling to find the location of the Zhao Family.
Netizens are discussing the sudden outbreak of this large-scale Bug Disaster in the Live Stream Room:
“What should we do? The Demon Bugs are coming soon, can we really defend against them?!”
“Believe in the country, listen to the suggestions, actively cooperate, and try to lock and close the doors and windows at night, at least you won’t be harmed.”
“What should I do? I have to work the night shift! Isn’t this letting me die?!”
“It’s okay for office workers, but now school is over late, and many high schools don’t finish their evening self-study until after ten o’clock at night, which is the most direct victims!”
“Now that the Demon Bugs have really spread to the country, it is estimated that the evening self-study can only be stopped, and no matter how important the class is, it is ultimately less important than life. No one can bear the responsibility of the large-scale death of students.”
“Schools can suspend classes, but what about those who work the night shift? Especially many night shifts must be manned, such as emergency clinics, airport navigation, etc., which cannot be without people.”
“I regret it so much. If I knew that I could avoid the Demon Bugs by cultivating Transformation Force, I should have desperately practiced martial arts from the beginning!”
“Be thankful, at least you can barely avoid it when you reach Transformation Force. It’s still not too late to practice now. If you have to be Innate to avoid it, that’s really the end.”
“Yes, if it only works for Innate, then it’s really troublesome. The total number of Innate in the world is only a few tens of thousands at most. To achieve Innate, you not only need to work hard, but also have a certain talent, which is not something you can break through casually.”
“Do the Martial Cultivators below Transformation Force and ordinary people have to wait to die? Is there no way to deal with the Demon Bugs at night?”
“There is a way, too. Strong light illumination at the workplace, and if you have to go out, carry a flashlight with you. You should be able to use the photophobia to make them stay away a little.”
“To be honest, even if I have strong light, I don’t think I can necessarily drive them away. After all, these things are Demon Bugs, not ordinary Insects. Strong light has an effect, but the power may also be limited. We can’t fully rely on the strong light to make them flee immediately.”
“Well, that’s true, but now we don’t have any better means besides strong light. After all, this thing can even pierce special protective suits, and it’s not afraid of insecticides and so on. The various standards are simply too full. We can’t carry a Flamethrower with us, can we? Ordinary people can’t get that thing either.”
“For now, we can only look at the subsequent response strategies of various countries. I believe in human wisdom, and I believe that humans will be able to successfully survive this Calamity! We have killed the Six-Clawed Black Serpent that was so difficult to kill, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Demon Bugs!”
“Look! Look! Mexico is starting to deal with the Demon Bugs!”
“Aren’t they active at night and dormant during the day? Oh! Mexico is night now, hurry up and take a look!”
……
A large group of Netizens all went online to search for related videos.
There are indeed many videos circulating online, and even some bloggers who are not afraid of death are directly Live Streaming nearby.
You can see some soldiers wearing helmets and Bulletproof Vests standing outside the warning line, using high-power searchlights to illuminate the Insect Swarm inside.
The Demon Bugs that occasionally flew close were sprayed and eliminated by Flamethrowers.
And in the high altitude, a dozen helicopters are cruising in the surrounding area, monitoring the movements of the Demon Bugs.
There are also a large number of UAVs spraying various special chemical agents above the Insect Swarm, testing the resistance of these Demon Bugs to various agents, and finding chemical agents that can be effective.
Further out, there are also many experts and support personnel from various countries who are conducting intensive observations of the scene and formulating subsequent response plans.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
And as time goes on, the outer defense circle is constantly shrinking inward, further limiting the activity range of the Demon Bugs.
Seeing this scene, audiences all over the world couldn’t help but cheer.
If Mexico’s response plan is effective, other affected countries can also quickly follow up and learn, and perhaps they can suppress the spread of the Demon Bugs at the source and completely eliminate the occurrence of large-scale Disasters.
People are full of good wishes and are closely following the progress of the on-site pest control.
And right under the gaze of all the Netizens.
A soldier located behind the defense circle, not far from the camera, suddenly burst out a shrill scream.
He threw away all the equipment in his hand and frantically scratched his body.
Everyone watched him quickly turn from a strong man into skin and bones, and one after another Demon Bugs of unknown origin drilled out of his body.
The sudden death of the soldier was like a fuse, and screams erupted one after another around him. Groups and groups of Demon Bugs quickly appeared outside the field and frantically spread around.
The trapping and killing offensive against the Demon Bugs on the scene collapsed instantly!
