Chapter 72 Poultry Army
Official reinforcements set out early.
After all, the government owns international satellites.
When a dark cloud appeared over the border, officials immediately took action.
But even so, they still underestimated the mobility of these mutated locusts.
The rugged and impassable mountain road slowed down the rescue journey, but the mutated locust army on the horizon launched an unbridled charge in the sky.
When the reinforcements reached halfway up the mountain, the locusts had already arrived first and were raging in the village.
"It's too late! Do you want to use a helicopter?"
"No! Based on past combat experience, locusts will crawl into the helicopter along the gaps! In the end, all helicopters will crash without exception!"
There is no other way. The official reinforcements can only speed up their march at this time!
However, in the next second, a voice sounded in the minds of all the soldiers.
"Just wait where you are, reinforcements will be here soon!"
The sound was weak but clear, and seemed to come from a very far away place.
However, because it sounded directly in my mind, it was impossible to determine the direction through the sound.
The leaders looked at each other.
"Is this what it said..."
"No matter who he is, as long as he can protect people's lives and property during disasters, he is good."
In an instant, the two leaders reached a consensus.
…
At this time, the condition of Zhou Fort was better than that of other places.
Zhoubao is the earliest human territory that Li Ge was involved in, and it is also the base camp of "Earth Lord" Zhou Anzhi.
Therefore, the land benefits more and crops mature earlier than in other villages.
While other villages were still harvesting the last wave of wheat, Zhoubao had already completed the harvesting and storage work.
In addition, Zhou Ranran is a well-known "messenger of the gods" in the village, and he also carries a grizzly bear, a pet from the gods. Therefore, even though he is a child, he still speaks with a certain degree of authority.
Li Ge warned Zhou Ranran as soon as he discovered that the locusts were coming.
The villagers acted quickly after Zhou Ranran's reminder.
Coupled with Yi Jincang and Wei Gang, these two people have rich experience in fighting mutant monsters. Under the guidance of these two people, most of them hid in time.
Even if they were unlucky enough to be left outside, there would still be grizzly bears who were thick-skinned and carried people inside, so that the villagers would not have to watch their loved ones being eaten alive in the open air.
Under such various factors, most of the losses of Zhoubao people were avoided.
However, even so, the Zhoubao people were still worried and trembling.
This year's harvest has been preserved.
But the farmers' property is more than that.
In addition to crops, there are also livestock.
Today, all their livestock are at risk.
Every livestock is densely covered with locusts.
I can't live without seeing it!
They have been simple farmers all their lives. Where have they seen such a scene?
Everyone is praying that this disaster will pass quickly.
Or... someone can save them.
However, without anyone noticing, a locust found its way to the house.
The second one...
The third one...
Hundreds of locusts crawl in through cracks in chimneys or other houses.
A scream sounded.
There was a chorus of screams.
"Help! Locusts have entered the house!"
"Mom!"
…
The villagers were in chaos.
At this moment, amid the sound of neat footsteps, official reinforcements arrived!
"Everyone gather in the center of the village!"
Each device was quickly placed on the ground.
After a man activated the device, an astonishing shock wave erupted!
All villagers felt dizziness, nausea and other negative symptoms.
Yes, these devices have relatively large negative effects on people.
But! For locusts, the effect is even greater!
Locusts fell from the sky one after another!
He landed on the ground, kicked his legs, and fell into a state of paralysis!
Then, one tent after another with a strong sense of technology was erected on the spot.
This tent is equivalent to a large protective suit!
The cost of each one is around hundreds of thousands!
The villagers finally found safe shelter!
This kind of scenario is happening in every village.
Everyone was in tears.
Survived!
However, the faces of all the soldiers were extremely solemn, even anxious.
Supplies are limited!
However, we don’t know how long this locust plague will last!
Now, the temporary urgency has indeed been alleviated.
But, if things continue like this, what can we do?
"Cluck...cluck..."
"Quack, quack, quack..."
In the distance, there was a strange noise.
Official reinforcements suddenly became alert.
This sound sounds like the sound of a chicken or duck?
However, under such a natural disaster, it is difficult for even large livestock to survive.
What's more, those chickens and ducks that have no fighting ability at all?
Could it be...that I heard it wrong?
However, the noisy voice was getting closer and closer, becoming more and more real.
"It's really chicken and duck!"
Suddenly, a little warrior exclaimed!
Colorful chickens and white ducks are like magic weapons sent from heaven!
Among the locusts flying all over the sky, they are so brave that they are invincible!
Wherever they went, the locusts fled in panic, causing a commotion!
"Sir!"
The little warrior didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. He looked back at his superiors like a conditioned reflex.
However, his commander was no better.
Under the protective and airtight transparent helmet, the officer also opened his mouth wide and widened his eyes, looking straight at the group of arrogant creatures in front of him!
"How is that possible?" the officer murmured.
Using chickens and ducks to control locusts is nothing new.
Biological locust control has been used in Kyushu a long time ago.
However, today is different from the past.
First of all, biological locust control does not deal with locusts that cause disasters. Locust density must be below a certain level.
You know, even ordinary locusts will contain toxins after causing a disaster! The kind of locusts that even chickens and ducks won’t eat!
Secondly, they are not evolved locusts!
No matter what kind of creature it is, after it has evolved, it can no longer be measured by common sense!
Nowadays, locusts are not only causing disasters, but they have also mutated.
But those chickens and ducks still became the nemesis of the locusts!
If it was really that easy to control the mutated locusts, why would Kyushu officials spend so much energy developing protective clothing and weapons?
However, the officer looked at it for a while before coming back to his senses.
——No, these are not ordinary chickens and ducks.
Their body size is generally much larger!
Moreover, upon closer inspection, their feathers are extremely dense, and under the sunlight, they faintly shine with a metallic luster.
In other words, it simply has certain properties of metal!
Sir, you can see clearly!
The colorful rooster opened its wings and flapped a few times when it was under siege.
Some locusts tragically hit the feathers on the edge of their wings and were cut in half!
It is simply a murderous weapon in the world!
Compared with the unbelievable official reinforcements, the villagers' thoughts are simpler.
"What a chicken!"
"No wonder the gods want us to offer live chickens!"
"When the village chief said that the gods were going to train an army to fight disasters, I was still laughing at him in my heart. Now that I think about it, it was so wrong! I will believe whatever the gods say in the future!"
"It must be the landowner who sent these chickens to the sky. These chickens are filled with the spirit of gods!"
"What does it mean to be possessed by the spirit of a god? It's basically like becoming a god! Maybe these chickens have already formed an army and are already organized in heaven!"
I have to say that people’s imagination is really too rich!
Such an "army of chickens and ducks" appeared in every nearby village, greatly easing the pressure on official reinforcements.
When Li Ge saw this scene, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"It's quite useful."
In fact, before this, Li Ge's heart had been hanging in his chest, unable to move up or down.
After all, time is too short.
In less than ten days, not only must they acquire chickens and ducks, but they must also find ways to make these chickens and ducks stronger.
Fortunately, Zhou Anzhi accumulated enough prestige in these villages.
Fortunately, there is an evolutionary artifact like royal jelly!
Today, at least two-thirds of the nearly 3,000 chickens and ducks collected have evolved.
After Li Ge accepted them as subjects, he forcibly raised them all to level 2 by injecting energy!
After dividing these chickens and ducks into five teams, Li Ge selected the strongest one in each team and promoted him to lv3!
And that third is already on the edge of evolution!
Suddenly there were more than 2,000 additional citizens, and Li Ge's Kingdom of Life revenue immediately exploded!
It may be because the evolutionary potential of chickens and ducks is relatively small. Therefore, even if they generally reach lv2, each one can only provide about 2 points per day, which is not even as good as the lv0 gyrfalcon.
But!
Although each chicken or duck provides relatively little energy,
But it can’t stand the huge total!
Today, Li Ge has reached a daily income of about 4,000 points relying only on these chickens and ducks!
This actually provided Li Ge with a new idea for accumulating energy.
Of course, raising these chickens and ducks will also become a huge burden.
because!
they
too! able! eat! Got it!
In just a few days, these chickens and ducks swept away like devils, chewing up all the turf in Li Ge's territory!
Nowadays, locusts are everywhere in the sky, so there is no need to worry about food.
What to do after the locusts retreat?
We can only take one step at a time.
Big deal...
At that time, additional meals will be given to other residents in the territory.
Li Ge didn't know how powerful these locusts were.
But they are helpless in front of chickens and ducks!
Maybe, this is called racial oppression!
Thinking about it, although the locust plague is terrible, the weapons themselves cannot pose any threat to chickens and ducks.
The thick and dense feathers, the hard beak, and the claws with thick cuticles are all weapons against locusts.
What's more, after these chickens and ducks evolved, they also acquired skills exclusive to monsters!
