"I'm going to fight alongside you! If I lose all my strength, I'll need you to protect me. I believe you can do it!" Gong Changfa said earnestly, a smile on his face. It turned out he had planned to rely on Shen Feng for protection once he was powerless.
Shen Feng said exasperatedly, "Protect your own safety. What kind of thing is it to leave it to me?"
Gong Changfa said seriously, "Actually, I was planning to run away immediately after this war. But now, mutated birds are swarming from all directions. Even if we run, we can't get very far. We'll be caught up soon. Since that's the case, we can only fight to the death. So, if it's a fight to the death, why should I be timid?"
Shen Feng analyzed the situation and realized it was true. He and his subordinates could quickly escape using gliders, but many of the people below relied on trucks to get here. The journey was already perilous, and mountains and rivers would slow down the trucks. Rather than being surrounded by mutated birds while trying to escape, it was better to fight to the death.
"If the battle truly begins, I can only protect myself. I will create a massive tornado that can last for a day and a night. As for you wanting to fight, you'll have to fend for yourself," Shen Feng said seriously.
Gong Changfa quickly said, "Wait a moment, I meant to fight with you. After I consume the centenarian seed, I will be able to control a large number of particles. These particles are in a berserk state and can easily cause damage to the mutated birds. However, my attack range is not wide enough. At that time, I will need to use your tornado."
Hearing the explanation, Shen Feng understood. The other party wanted to mix something into the tornado. There were already many mutated mushroom powders in the tornado. If a large number of berserk particles were added at this time, the tornado's lethality would definitely increase.
"This is something we can try, but I'm making it clear, your particles must not harm me," Shen Feng said seriously.
Shen Feng knew the damage caused by radioactive particles. Why were there no plants or animals that could survive in nuclear explosion zones or areas where nuclear waste was stored? It was because these radioactive particles would destroy the bodies of humans or animals. Powerful radioactive particles could even alter human genes. According to what was said online, humans might grow many eyes or many limbs, but that was only in lucky cases. In unlucky cases, they would directly get cancer and die.
Gong Changfa quickly said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that your body will not be affected in any way!"
At this moment, Yu Chenggang also walked over and asked, "Should I continue to release the induction waves?"
Gong Changfa said, "You can continue to release them. Otherwise, how will the mutated birds who want revenge find us?"
Almost half of the mutated birds on the Siberian Plateau had been guided and were flying towards the location of the humans. The nearby mutated birds had already died under Shen Feng's abilities, but from further away, mutated birds were still arriving continuously.
This situation was captured by satellites. Not only China noticed this situation, but other countries also began to pay attention. The ferocity of the mutated birds had exceeded the understanding of most humans. Many countries or cities had already been destroyed by mutated birds, something that zombies and mutated beasts had not been able to achieve. However, under the brutal slaughter of the mutated birds, in many parts of the world, people had established underground bases. As soon as mutated birds appeared, everyone would quickly hide underground.
It could be said that every move of the mutated birds was being observed by people. At this time, Shen Feng was leading more than ten thousand people to fight on the Siberian Plateau. This situation was being discussed by everyone. At this time, everyone wanted to know what the outcome of the war would be, whether Shen Feng would achieve victory or if the mutated birds would ultimately defeat Shen Feng.
"I dare to bet! Shen Feng's actions this time will end in failure because that is the lair of the mutated birds. He only brought so few people and cannot possibly win." This argument had already appeared online, believing that Shen Feng would lose.
"The battle is not over yet, why are you saying that Lord Shen Feng will lose? He will definitely defeat the mutated birds! Lord Shen Feng has accomplished many impossible things before, and this time is no exception!" Subsequently, Shen Feng's fans refuted the above remarks online.
The two sides went back and forth, their words sharp and their arguments fierce, neither able to convince the other to agree with their viewpoint.
Casinos would not miss such a good opportunity, so they opened their books. Some bet on Shen Feng to win, while others bet on the mutated birds to win.
"Get ready, everyone! The mutated birds are here, hurry up and get ready! Everyone hide in the containers, no one is allowed to come out!" Gong Changfa shouted at his subordinates.
The ordinary people all hid in the containers. The containers were made of thick steel and could also be used for defense at critical moments.
After waiting for half a day, the mutated birds in the distance finally arrived nearby. However, under the control of the Bird King, the mutated birds did not launch a hasty attack. Instead, they rested in the surrounding areas, looking for fish and shrimp in the water or insects on the mountains as food.
The containers were neatly arranged in the swamp, and iron chains were connected between the containers. It was not easy for anyone to break through the defense of the containers. People hid inside the containers, and only five ability users remained outside.
Shen Feng flew into the air and saw a dense patch of black dots in the distance. These black dots were the mutated birds rushing over. Fortunately, it was already close to dusk. If the mutated birds had not attacked by then, they would have had a whole night to rest.
"I've never seen so many mutated birds. Can we really hold them off?" Li Shanyun murmured at this moment.
Currently, there were tens of millions of mutated birds surrounding the basin, estimated to be up to sixty million. Many people had never seen such a grand scene in their lives. Even Li Shanyun began to doubt, especially since only a few thousand people were left here, and everyone was injured. If the battle began, it was uncertain who would win or lose.
Wei Xinglong criticized, "What do you mean you've never seen it? Back in Yuzhou, we faced a similar situation, and we got through it. If you say any more discouraging words, I'll hit you."
Li Shanyun dared not speak nonsense anymore. However, he also understood that when Yuzhou was surrounded by mutated birds and insects back then, it was the Eldest Young Master who evolved at a critical moment and enveloped Yuzhou with mist, causing the mutated birds to retreat in vain. But this time, the Eldest Young Master was not here, and it would not be so easy to survive now.
The group rested for a night. At dawn on the third day, a loud cry was heard from afar. This cry was very high-pitched, and only the Bird King could emit such a high-pitched cry. Upon hearing the Bird King's summons, the other birds flapped their wings and soared into the sky, beginning their assault on the central basin.
This was the lair of the mutated birds, their base of survival. In the past, no matter how severe the damage the mutated birds suffered, as long as they returned to their lair, they could quickly reproduce and replenish their numbers. Although the breeding rate of mutated birds had declined in recent years, this was still their established territory. But now that their territory had been invaded by humans, the mutated birds naturally had to unite and kill or drive out all the humans.
Shen Feng quickly emerged from the container and came outside. The tornado that had been spinning yesterday had become even larger. The gray-white tornado swept towards the distance, kicking up dust and water from the ground. The tornado was now filled with powder ground from mutated mushrooms. As long as a mutated bird inhaled this powder, it would soon be poisoned and die. This poison directly acted on the central nervous system and was highly potent.
Gong Changfa stood beside Shen Feng and said, "Since the mutated birds have already started their attack, I'm ready to consume the seed."
"There's no rush yet, consume it later! Before the mutated birds launch a full-scale attack, they will definitely send out some mutated birds to raid. These birds are the so-called cannon fodder. They are accustomed to doing this, and the mutated birds sent out are all old, weak, sick, and disabled. You should save your half-hour ability for later," Shen Feng quickly stopped him.
Shen Feng had been fighting mutated birds for many years, and he knew very well how the mutated birds would act next. Therefore, he predicted the mutated birds' actions. As expected, many old, weak, sick, and disabled birds flew out from the mutated birds, and many of them had gray feathers, clearly nearing the end of their lifespan.
After the mutated birds sent out their cannon fodder, the other mutated birds in the sky watched from afar, as if they wanted to see how powerful the human strength was and why so many birds had been killed before. 138 Reading Network
Shen Feng continued to expand the tornado. From the ground to the sky, it seemed as if a gray-white pillar had appeared. The giant tornado seemed to have risen into the sky, connecting heaven and earth. The extreme wind force was sweeping everything on the ground. Whether it was leaves or dry grass, they were all swept up by the wind force. Even the dust had flown into the air, and the visibility in the air was continuously decreasing.
"Whoosh, whoosh..." The basin was filled with whistling winds. These winds were sharp and piercing, and even though many soldiers were hiding in the containers, they could clearly hear them.
The mutated birds acting as cannon fodder, upon reaching the vicinity of the tornado, inevitably inhaled the mushroom powder and then fell to the ground, lying alongside the previous mutated birds. They died within ten seconds.
When the Bird King saw this situation, it felt that something was wrong. Even when poison gas was used for defense in many cities, the mutated birds could not be easily killed. But now, the mutated birds, just by approaching the tornado, had fallen to the ground. This indicated that there was a deadly substance in the tornado.
After the Bird King communicated using electromagnetic waves, it suddenly let out a series of high-pitched cries. The mutated birds were summoned and surged into the low basin from all directions. The Bird King could no longer wait. Even if it used a numerical offensive, it had to drive out the humans who had invaded their habitat.
Many Bird Kings recognized Shen Feng because they knew that Shen Feng had been fighting and killing them for the past few years. However, Shen Feng had generally been active in the south before. For some reason, this time he had come to the habitat of the mutated birds in the north. The Bird King could no longer tolerate it and decided to counterattack on the spot.
Shen Feng watched the mutated birds surging from all directions. At this moment, the tornado, which possessed powerful wind force and was constantly spinning, seemed to have weakened considerably. He quickly looked at Gong Changfa beside him and said, "You can eat the seed now."
Upon hearing Shen Feng say this, Gong Changfa did not hesitate. He directly put the seed into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Soon, Gong Changfa felt a warm current appear in his abdomen, and then he felt his strength double. The limit of his ability, which had confined him for a long time, had been broken through. At this moment, Gong Changfa possessed the combat power of a seventh-level ability user. Although it was only for half an hour, his combat power was impeccable.
Shen Feng then bent down and said, "Get on my back, I'll carry you into the sky. You can't fly yet. To maximize the effect of your ability, let's stay together."
Gong Changfa thought for a moment, took out a rope from his body, and said, "Can you bite this rope? I'm afraid I won't be able to stay on your back."
"Heh, do you think that's possible? Do you think I'll obey you like livestock?" Shen Feng said exasperatedly. He vaguely recalled that he seemed to have done something similar to someone before. He didn't expect that karma would come around, and he would be treated this way.
"I was just joking, don't be anxious!" Gong Changfa smiled and then lay down on Shen Feng's back.
