It was the thirtieth day of the apocalypse.
After midnight, it would be the thirty-first day of the apocalypse.
According to the initial announcements, monster suppression would be partially lifted starting from the thirty-first day.
No one knew to what extent this suppression would be lifted.
However, in recent days, a large number of insects and rapidly growing plants had appeared strangely…
This indicated that the monsters to come were likely related to these creatures!
Who would dare sleep at such a crucial moment?
Weren't they afraid of dying without even knowing how they died?!
The entire military base was brightly lit.
Strong lights extended for 500 meters around the military base.
On the walls stood fully armed combat personnel.
Zhao Longchuan and Dong Tiejun guarded the east defensive line.
Guan Xin and Bai Hanlin guarded the west defensive line.
Zhang Chen, Xiao Bai, and Er Pang guarded the south defensive line.
Zheng Hao, along with Qian Zhenyu, Li Bingyu, and Tan Sibao, guarded the north defensive line.
Everyone was a soldier.
At this time, there were no non-combat personnel.
Even those who were usually responsible for cleaning, logistics, or were just children,
had all picked up weapons, ready to join the battle at any moment.
Everyone watched the system interface, watching the seconds tick by…
Holding their breath, they prepared to welcome the arrival of new terror!
11:59:55…
56 seconds…
57 seconds…
58 seconds…
59 seconds…
12:00!
At the same time, the same message popped up on everyone’s system interface!
Ding! The thirty-first day of the apocalypse has arrived, suppression is partially lifted, the next suppression will be lifted in 30 days…
As this line of prompt faded.
The surroundings were instantly engulfed in thick fog.
The mist closed in from all directions, continuously pushing back… compressing… the area illuminated by the lights…
Until finally, it completely swallowed the entire military base…
The fog was too thick, visibility was only two to three meters, what should we do?
Dong Tiejun’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.
The combat status would disable the chat channel.
So Zhao Longchuan still communicated with everyone using the traditional walkie-talkie.
Observe the situation, turn off the headlights to avoid affecting visibility, and everyone try to remain quiet!
Enter combat status, be ready to fight at any moment!
Zhao Longchuan commanded calmly.
Click… click…
The overhead headlights extinguished.
The diffused white light of the fog instantly disappeared.
With the lighting on the city wall, visibility improved slightly.
Silence…
A deathly quiet surrounded them…
No zombie growls, no insect chirps or bird songs…
Not even wind…
All that could be heard by everyone was their own rapid breathing and the thumping of their accelerating heartbeats.
After an unknown period of time like this.
Suddenly, the sound of drones could be heard from afar.
Someone deployed a drone?
Isn't that foolish? What can a drone see in this fog?
And didn't Captain Zhao order everyone to be quiet?
What could that be…
Several survivors whispered to each other.
As soon as they finished speaking.
They heard more and more drone sounds.
One, two, then over a dozen, even more…
A dense buzzing sound covered the sky, merging into one!
Be careful of flying creature attacks!
Someone shouted.
Then, a bug about a meter long descended from the sky, directly pouncing on a survivor.
Its drill-like mouthpart fiercely pierced the artery in the survivor's neck, gulping…
Streams of blood were visibly absorbed into the bug's abdomen through its mouthpart…
At the same time, the survivor on the ground quickly became still, his face ashen, even his skin shriveled…
Like a dried corpse…
Mutated mosquitoes, giant mutated mosquitoes!
Ranged weapons, indiscriminate fire into the sky!
Everyone prepare for defense, get ready for impact!
Zhao Longchuan roared into the walkie-talkie.
The survivors immediately took out their defensive shields, their faces solemn.
To be honest, no matter how scary zombies were, a single zombie posed no threat to them.
But a mutated mosquito a meter long?
Don't joke, even normal mosquitoes a few centimeters long were inexplicably terrifying.
Let alone one so big, and it sucked blood?!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sounds of impact were incessant.
Giant mosquitoes slammed hard against the shields.
Some survivors, unable to bear the force, were directly knocked off the city wall.
Upon landing, they were pinned down by the giant mutated mosquitoes and had their blood drained frantically.
Puff! Slash!
Zhao Longchuan swung his sword, splitting two mutated mosquitoes in half.
These creatures weren't very strong, their strength was somewhere between a regular zombie and a crawler.
But they could fly, were very agile, and could increase their impact force with the inertia of their flight!
Moreover, the surroundings were entirely shrouded in dense fog, obscuring vision.
This also created convenient conditions for sneak attacks by these giant mutated mosquitoes!
Each time, the giant mutated mosquitoes were only discovered when they were already close.
And once they flew into the dense fog, the survivors could no longer track their existence.
The bullets and arrows shot into the sky were also completely random.
Hitting them depended entirely on luck.
Their deterrence to the giant mutated mosquitoes was almost negligible…
The survivors were completely overwhelmed, in a state of passive defense!
At this moment, Guan Xin's voice came through the walkie-talkie:
These giant mutated mosquitoes tend to dive from a 45-degree angle downwards from the sky, it is recommended to conduct ranged attacks from this angle!
Hearing this, Zhao Longchuan quickly shouted the command:
All survivors with energy evolution talents, form groups of ten, aim at a 45-degree upward angle, and fire [Energy Strike]!
All survivors with gene evolution talents, form groups of five, responsible for mobile protection of the ranged units!
Following that, rows of survivors formed their lines.
Ten people stood side by side, releasing [Energy Strike] towards the sky simultaneously!
A narrow beam of light shot out.
Puff… Thump…
More than ten giant mutated mosquitoes, which were diving, fell to the ground in response.
They were indeed vulnerable, but only if… you could hit them…
Swish swish swish… Swish swish swish…
Just as the survivors were locked in a fierce battle with the giant mutated mosquitoes.
Suddenly, another sound of flowing water approached from afar.
What the hell is this thing this time!
Dong Tiejun’s weapon was an axe, and attacking these giant mosquitoes was somewhat strenuous.
He had just split a giant mosquito in two, and then he shouted breathlessly.
Whoosh!
A slender six-legged creature darted up from below the city wall.
Its body was also over a meter long, like a bamboo tube, its head, chest, and abdomen were covered with three thick layers of hard shell.
Below its head was a circular mouth full of sharp teeth, and its front two legs were as sharp as sickles.
That swishing sound was the sound of countless six-legged creatures crawling on the ground…
A swarm of insects has arrived!
