When a group of people from Jinling arrived in Pudong, they were warmly welcomed, as they were there to provide support. Those who came to help were not to be neglected.
"Pudong has never faced a life-or-death crisis before, but today, I must say that the situation in Pudong has become dire. If we do not receive rescue, we will surely perish!" said Han Youchan, the chief official of Pudong, with helplessness. He was already advanced in years, and did not expect to encounter such a crisis.
Ke Yiming quickly replied, "Please rest assured, all the major cities have come to our aid. We are not heartless people. Since we agreed to stand together, we will not go back on our word. Moreover, Fengshen has also arrived this time, and he will help us fight the enemy."
Following this, Ke Yiming revealed Shen Feng. The people of Pudong were very grateful upon seeing Shen Feng's appearance. Shen Feng was undoubtedly the foremost figure in the world at present, with no one comparable to him. His past achievements were also enough to be remembered. It could be said that the mutated birds that once ravaged the land had their vital forces annihilated by Shen Feng in a single battle. Shen Feng's appearance here to help undoubtedly served as a shot in the arm for everyone.
Shen Feng looked at Ke Yiming speechlessly, thinking, "So you've been betraying me all along, it's become a habit. I clearly said before that I was just here to take a look and might not help, but you've already pushed me out."
However, since Shen Feng had already shown himself in public, he had no choice but to say, "I was actually passing by, intending to go to sea to see if I could kill sea beasts. But since you are in crisis, I will certainly do my best to help you resist the danger. However, I prefer to keep a low profile, so no need to make a fuss!"
Mu Ying appeared beside Shen Feng, wearing a veil. The others did not recognize her upon seeing her, and in their impression, they had never seen such a mysterious woman.
"This is Mu Ying, also known as the Ice Girl from Dabie Mountain. She dislikes going out usually, and she has cooperated with our Jinling before," Yun Laizhe also stepped forward to introduce Mu Ying.
"So it's the renowned Ice Girl. Your arrival here brings us great honor. Please come in, please come in!" The crowd suddenly realized and quickly invited Mu Ying to enter.
In the apocalypse, many people were deified. Not only Shen Feng, but many other espers, as long as they were strong, were given various nicknames. Mu Ying's nickname was relatively simple, called the Ice Girl. She was famous in many places. Although she lived in Dabie Mountain all year round, her style of conduct was already known to everyone, because men never appeared in her territory. In other words, Mu Ying only protected women.
Because of this peculiar style of hers, many women regarded Mu Ying as a guardian deity. Whether they were ordinary women or women of ill repute from the red-light districts, they all longed to see Mu Ying. If they could see the Ice Girl, they would be protected in the future.
Thus, even though Mu Ying hid in the mountains, her reputation had already spread throughout the entire south.
Shen Feng then said, "We are newcomers here and do not yet understand the current situation in Pudong. If possible, let us find a place to discuss in detail and formulate a plan to resist the insects."
"Yes, yes, at this time, we must discuss carefully and deal with these damned insects!" Han Youchan nodded repeatedly and then invited everyone into the conference room.
Since the rescue forces had not all arrived yet, Jinling's forces were the first to arrive. The others were still hours away. Therefore, it was very difficult to formulate a plan at this time, as not everyone had arrived. However, before everyone arrived, they could understand the situation in Pudong and how these insects appeared.
Soon, in the conference room of Pudong, detailed documents were delivered to everyone at the conference table for them to view.
Shen Feng picked up the documents and frowned. It turned out that the insects appearing in the city were not appearing without reason, but had gradually appeared with the onset of the heavy rain. If it were ordinary enemies, it would not be so easy to enter Pudong, because there were also thick city walls around Pudong.
Many cities had built city walls to protect their residents. This was because, in addition to defending against enemies, city walls also provided a certain psychological comfort to people. The city walls of Pudong were no less impressive than those of other large cities, being thick, hard, and very tall.
However, these insects entered the city without any hindrance. The reason was very simple: these insects lived in water. When the heavy rain came, the city's sewers were blocked. The sewers were connected to the ocean, and the insects from the sea entered the city through the sewers, completely disregarding the city walls.
First, the sea spiders came into the city with the water. These insects were carnivorous and generally floated on the sea, eating fish eggs or dead jellyfish, small fish, and small shrimp. But after mutating, the size of these sea spiders also increased, with each sea spider being the size of a palm. A single sea spider could not pose a threat to humans, but if dozens or hundreds of sea spiders appeared together, they could also bite humans to death.
In addition to these insects that could move on water, there were also many water spiders in the water. These spiders could live underwater. They carried small air bubbles on their backs, which stored a large amount of air, allowing the water spiders to get oxygen underwater.
The water spiders were even larger, capable of being the size of two palms. The most deadly thing was that these water spiders could move underwater. Generally, people would not pay attention to whether something was hidden in the water, which gave the water spiders an opportunity to ambush. As long as the water spiders attacked from the water, they could easily succeed.
The last insects to arrive in Pudong were the mosquitoes and midges flying in the sky. These insects might not have been able to move quickly in the rainy weather. Therefore, although they had a pair of wings, they were the last to arrive in Pudong.
Although the mosquitoes and midges arrived in Pudong the latest, there was no doubt that these insects caused the greatest harm to the human body because they could suck blood.
Before mutating, mosquitoes and midges could already suck human blood. At that time, people did not pay much attention to these tiny insects, because they were only one millimeter in length and posed no threat. But after mutating, the length of these insects instantly increased, reaching the length of a little finger. Mosquitoes and midges of four to five centimeters were commonplace.
Thus, as long as one was not careful, hundreds of mosquitoes and midges swarming together could drain all the blood from a person's body.
"According to this, Pudong's greatest crisis now comes from these three types of insects. Only by eliminating these three types of insects can Pudong be reborn," Yun Laizhe said with a frown, looking at the documents.
"That's right. To help Pudong overcome this crisis, we can only kill all three types of insects. I wonder if any of you have any good ideas," Han Youchan asked quickly.
"Since we want to treat the symptoms, we need to find experienced people. I heard that Fengshen once killed a large number of mutated locusts. This time, Fengshen should be asked to give his opinion!" Ke Yiming said quickly, then turned his gaze to Shen Feng.
Upon hearing this, the others also turned their eyes to Shen Feng.
Seeing this scene, Shen Feng felt depressed and then looked at Ke Yiming, asking in a low voice, "Are you targeting me? Why do you have to push me out every time today?"
"Nonsense, this is targeting you. You made me lose face in public last night. At the time, I didn't think much of it and even thought the name you gave was good. But later I realized that you were completely plotting against me! I'm just getting revenge for last night," Ke Yiming replied in a low voice.
It turned out that after the banquet ended, Ke Yiming found several people and carefully inquired why everyone at the banquet was laughing. He later learned the reason and immediately became dissatisfied with Shen Feng. He clearly regarded Shen Feng as a brother, but his brother stabbed him in the back twice. How could he tolerate that? Thus, today he pushed Shen Feng into the limelight several times.
Shen Feng stood up helplessly and said, "I do have experience killing a large number of locusts, but specific problems need to be analyzed specifically. There are no universal solutions in the world. Locusts are afraid of water, so I brought a large amount of rainfall to Yuzhou and Sichuan Province, which killed the locusts. However, these three types of insects encountered in Pudong are very fond of water. I cannot kill them. We should find professional people."
"What you said makes sense. Since it's a professional problem, we should find an expert," Han Youchan nodded and asked someone to find an entomologist. Human guns and cannons could not deal with insects, and killing them by hand was too slow. Now, a special method was needed.
The expert was quickly invited to the conference room. After hearing the questions, he gave his answer: "My suggestion is very simple: use medicine! Use a large amount of insecticide to eliminate these insects!"
"Using insecticide is a good idea, but we don't have the capacity to produce a large amount of insecticide in a hurry. The raw material supply is insufficient, and the production capacity is insufficient. What should we do?" The people of Pudong helplessly stated the truth.
Just as everyone was discussing what to do next, suddenly several groups of people arrived outside the conference room. Upon closer inspection, many of them were old acquaintances of Shen Feng.
Wang Ao Ye arrived with espers from Meizhou, Li Xian Kang arrived with espers from Yangzhou, and people from Hangzhou, Fuzhou, and other places also arrived one after another. Some drove, while others came by boat. In short, the speed of support was very fast.
"Oh, Shen Feng, I remember you're not from the southeastern region. Why are you also in this conference room?" Wang Ao Ye was somewhat surprised to see his business partner Shen Feng appear.
"I was just passing by, but I heard that there was a formidable enemy here, so I came to take a look. I might go to sea in a few days. Don't mind me, I'm just here to make up the numbers!" Shen Feng said lightly.
"The Ice Girl is here too? We are fellow villagers, shouldn't we get closer?" Li Xian Kang also saw Mu Ying and recognized her at a glance.
"I'm accompanying my brother-in-law to take a look. If my brother-in-law allows us to get closer, then we'll get closer," Mu Ying pointed to Shen Feng beside her and said lightly.
Mu Ying's statement immediately caused everyone to look surprised, as they did not expect Fengshen and the Ice Girl to be related. This was the first time they had heard this news.
"I thought your relationship was unusual. So you're related. Well, let's quickly discuss what to do next. I see more and more insects in the city!" Li Xian Kang shrugged and sat down.
In fact, when rescuing Yuzhou, Li Xian Kang had already felt that the relationship between Shen Feng and Mu Ying was not quite right. Now he realized that these two were actually relatives.
Next, everyone began to discuss how to deal with the insects. To deal with these insects, a suitable method was needed. The simplest method was to use insecticide. Unfortunately, Pudong's capacity to produce insecticide was insufficient. To obtain a large amount of insecticide, it had to be purchased from elsewhere.
The group spent a night carefully discussing how to deal with the mutated insects and finally reached a conclusion: to deal with these endless insects, espers had to take action to delay the time, and then wait for insecticide to be delivered from elsewhere to achieve victory.
