Shen Feng had actually anticipated the plan of these insects. When they found that the low-altitude frontal area was no longer accessible, they would choose another path, such as advancing from above. However, as long as he, the Wind God, was present, it was destined to be impossible for these Asian giant hornets to break through from the air.
At this moment, the sky was filled with strong winds. Under these circumstances, the Asian giant hornets had no possibility of approaching the human army from the air. After all, Shen Feng was known as the Wind God, and his control over air currents far surpassed that of ordinary ability users. Currently, it was just a group of Asian giant hornets flying erratically. In the sky dominated by strong winds, these hornets could not get close at all.
Within this vast tropical rainforest, there were many Asian giant hornet nests. This type of hornet was a particularly ferocious insect. If other animals invaded their territory, these hornets would attack immediately. The number of Asian giant hornets in the forest could reach millions. However, such a large swarm was only one percent of the total Southern insects. If they could not gain the upper hand in the first battle, it would inevitably affect everyone's confidence.
Therefore, at this moment, Shen Feng attached great importance to the situation of the battle, ensuring that he would definitely achieve victory. As long as the first battle was won, it would be much simpler later on, because mercenaries were still on their way, and at that time, the troop strength could reach over 100,000.
With ten thousand elite soldiers, things would be simple. They only needed to attack the insects' weaknesses.
At this time, many soldiers on the ground began to wear gas masks on their faces because they needed to guard against the upcoming gas attacks. Many people did not dare to underestimate these things because they had seen many enemies poisoned to death in the gas. Therefore, in this situation, they still needed to protect themselves.
In the past, Chu Chaoyan had faced many zombies. These zombies were unaware of the gas attack and rushed straight into it. Within a few minutes, these zombies were all poisoned to death because the gas could corrode their lungs, causing them to die from respiratory failure. The physical structure of zombies was actually the same as that of humans. Any advantages or disadvantages that humans possessed would also manifest in zombies.
Thus, if humans had weaknesses, zombies could not eliminate them, and if zombies had weaknesses, humans could not ignore them. Therefore, people were worried about being accidentally injured by the gas, so they all put on gas masks on their faces, which could resist the gas attacks.
At this moment, Chu Chaoyan immediately shouted, "Everyone, open the valves of the high-pressure gas cylinders. Next, we will release the gas to poison all these damned insects. Do not have any soft-hearted thoughts, or you will harm yourselves."
In fact, at this time, no one would have any pity for the insects. Countless people had been killed by these mutated insects. There was immense hatred between humans and insects, which was enough to prevent people from feeling pity. At this moment, everyone was fighting with the intention of killing the insects.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." As the valves of the high-pressure gas cylinders were opened, countless yellow-green gases sprayed out from the valves, constantly spreading in the sky. If this gas leaked in a chemical plant, it would inevitably cause huge casualties. This had happened all over the world. After this gas leaked, it would kill many people in a short period of time, either causing their respiratory systems to fail or causing them to go blind. In any case, this gas was very terrifying.
"Ah Feng! Hurry up and blow this gas over so that these insects can taste the power of the gas!" Chu Chaoyan quickly shouted to Shen Feng in the sky, urging him to act quickly. After all, although the gas was very powerful, it was easy to accidentally injure oneself. Only by blowing the gas over could its true lethality be unleashed.
Upon hearing the shouts from the ground, Shen Feng immediately took action. Previously, he had controlled strong winds to rage in the sky, making the sky dominated by strong winds, preventing insects from approaching from above. The impact on the people on the ground was not significant. Now that the ground had also begun to release gas, it was necessary to blow the gas to the opposite side.
Therefore, Shen Feng began to use his abilities. With gusts of strong winds blowing, the countless yellow-green gases on the ground were pushed towards the opposite rainforest. Finally, they entered the rainforest. The weather conditions were quite good at the moment. The sky was clear, with no signs of rain, so attacking at this time was not a problem.
Chlorine gas is very soluble in water. As soon as it comes into contact with water, it quickly dissolves in it. Therefore, it is best not to use gas attacks in rainy weather, otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced, and the corresponding lethality will not be produced. Moreover, rainwater may also obstruct people's vision.
As countless yellow-green mists approached the forest, these ignorant Asian giant hornets were still flying up. This was because these hornets had not encountered these mists before and thought they were similar to the mist that appeared in the mountains and rivers. Thus, they plunged headfirst into them. However, after entering the poisonous gas, these Asian giant hornets were quickly poisoned and could not breathe. Their respiratory systems had been corroded, and their tracheas could no longer contract.
One by one, the Asian giant hornets fell from the sky. Soon, the ground was covered with a layer of dead Asian giant hornets. Although some of them could no longer breathe, their vitality was too tenacious, so they were still struggling on the ground, but they could no longer fly.
"Call for air support and have them carry out aerial strikes. In any case, use enough gas bombs in this forest. Now that we have the Wind God in the sky, we don't have to worry about this gas harming us. Next, we just need to keep advancing. However, everyone needs to pay attention to the areas they pass through and make sure they are cleaned up, so as to avoid facing the last desperate counterattack of the Asian giant hornets," Yang Chang also shouted orders.
"Received! We will depart immediately. Send us the coordinates, and we will be there to conduct normal strikes in ten minutes." An accurate reply came from the walkie-talkie.
"General Yang, should we advance now? Many Asian giant hornets have retreated into the forest. If we don't advance now, won't these insects escape?" Someone suddenly asked Yang Chang, who was beside him.
"We can't rush at this time. It's not too late to advance after the aerial strike is completed. The number of Asian giant hornets is still too large. Only after the air force arrives and deals with a large number of Asian giant hornets can we advance." Yang Chang was very calm at this time and had made his decision.
As the countless poisonous gases flew into the distance, the Asian giant hornets in the forest could only retreat. Even though there were many nests in the trees, they could no longer care about them. If they stayed in their original positions, they would eventually be poisoned to death. As for the many larvae in the nests, they could only leave their fate to chance.
Basically, all living beings are selfish. Many creatures have the habit of caring for their larvae or young, whether they are insects, mammals, or even many cold-blooded animals. Therefore, many people attribute this to the greatness of maternal love.
However, in reality, all these animals care for their young and offspring only to continue their species. When they encounter danger, many animals often only care for themselves and not their young. At this time, it can be seen whether life is a selfish thing.
This frontline was very long, stretching as far as the eye could see. Everyone held various weapons in their hands. Many even held iron brooms, as they were very effective against insects. Not only could they clean up the insect corpses on the ground, but they could also be used as weapons at critical moments.
As these insects retreated, suddenly a roar echoed from the sky. Many people couldn't help but look up, and immediately saw many fighter jets appearing in the sky. These fighter jets flew at an extremely high speed. In the blink of an eye, they had flown over everyone's heads, exceeding the speed of sound. The sound they heard was the roar produced by the fighter jets breaking through the air resistance.
"Look quickly, our fighter jets are here! Now that the fighter jets have arrived, our battle will definitely be smoother," someone exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the fighter jets in the sky.
"Let's be careful on the ground. Many stingers are still on these insects. If you get stung, it's a dead end. After all, even with medicine, it's too late to stop the venom from taking effect. It's better to look at the ground!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, reminding everyone to pay attention to the ground.
The reason for reminding everyone to pay attention to the ground was that someone had already been injured during the advance. The ground was densely covered with poisonous bees. Although these poisonous bees were dying, many insects had strong vitality, so they had not died for some time. When humans passed by them, these Asian giant hornets would use their last strength to sting humans with their stingers and inject venom.
It is said that all bees and insects die a short time after stinging humans, because many bees have their hearts directly connected to their stingers. Therefore, once a bee loses its stinger, its heart will directly fail and die.
However, an awkward situation arose. Many Asian giant hornets, in their dying state, still retained their last ability to move. These Asian giant hornets' revenge on humans was to suddenly sting humans with their stingers when humans passed by them, and then inject venom. At this time, even death could exchange for a human life.
"I didn't expect the most difficult thing to be advancing. I thought the most difficult thing was fighting, but reality has taught me a lesson!" Yang Chang shook his head helplessly at this moment, realizing that things were not entirely as he had imagined.
He had thought that the most difficult thing would be the battle, as he had heard that these Asian giant hornets were ferocious and could even bite off human arms, and they also had very troublesome venom. As long as they stung a person, they would die of poison. However, he did not expect that after killing countless insects, advancing on their own side would become difficult.
As Yang Chang was greatly troubled, Shen Feng descended from the sky and said, "Everyone be careful, cover your ears, don't go deaf!"
Upon hearing the city lord's voice, everyone felt relieved. Then, they immediately covered their ears. Although they were wearing gas masks and their hearing was affected, since the city lord had said so, they had no choice but to comply.
Shen Feng took a deep breath and began to gather an air cannon in front of him. When Chu Chaoyan saw Shen Feng's actions, he understood what Shen Feng was going to do and immediately covered his ears, because he knew that Shen Feng was about to release a powerful air cannon. If an ordinary person heard this huge sound unexpectedly, even their eardrums would be ruptured.
