He heard the continuous gunfire, and his heart surged with emotion.
At the exit of the No. 2 Observation Building, Professor Busch hurriedly walked out and got into the car he had come in, with several police officers beside him to ensure his safety.
The researchers were evacuating in an orderly manner. Fortunately, Jiangcheng had notified the authorities the moment the observation video was recorded, and they were ready to pick up the researchers at any time.
In fact, this northwestern town is located in a remote area and has an extremely strong security force, but at this time it has also become the most dangerous area because it is on the front line of fighting against the invaders.
In the observation room where the video recording was paused, Chen Ang immediately put away the unfinished recording and handed it to Professor Wan, saying, "Keep it safe. You take the recording with you. I'll go check on the group leader's situation."
"I see."
In the corridor with its flashing warning lights, Chen Ang stepped out and strode towards the first floor.
The area in front of and behind the building is like two completely different worlds. Jiangcheng, on the front line, has already begun a high-intensity confrontation.
The police officers, armed with guns, continuously spewed fire from their muzzles, accurately striking the swarming insects.
To their utter astonishment, bullets could damage the insects' abdomens, completely pulverizing them, but shots to their heads or the hard shells on their backs caused no harm whatsoever.
Instead, dazzling flames flashed in mid-air, and the clanging sound of metal striking metal was like a demonic chant, filling the air.
"Bang bang bang bang!!" Extremely intense!
Even so, they still dared not retreat! Even though their gunfire was merely a drop in the ocean, and utterly ineffective in stopping the insects' advance!
They pounce on police officers, easily tearing through their protective suits and then forcibly entering any opening in their bodies!
Nose! Ears! Mouth!
If a fist-sized insect is forced inside and there is any resistance, it will use its sharp mouthparts to tear open a large hole, tearing apart the muscle tissue on the surface of the skin, causing the instinctively contracting opening to lose its elasticity!
The police officers will not back down! Even though many have died and the ground is stained red with blood.
Jiang Cheng's order was to contain the insects within this area. If they flew out and entered towns and cities, the resulting panic and casualties would be incalculable!
Even in death, they would use their flesh and blood to form an impenetrable human wall, only then would they have fulfilled their mission.
The police captain kept shouting! His voice was extremely rough!
Everyone knew in their hearts that as long as they held on a little longer, powerful reinforcements would arrive soon. Humanity's armed forces were far from weak, and wiping out these insects would be a piece of cake. They needed to buy time!
It's not just the insects that are being blocked, but also the news of the invaders reaching the planet's surface!
After the gunfire subsided, all was calm, as if nothing had happened!
This is Jiangcheng's true purpose!
"Where's the flamethrower! Fuck it, burn them to death!" the captain cursed.
One of the men, wearing a plastic mask, responded. Ignoring the corpse of a fellow man lying on the ground, the stimulation of blood and the release of hormones in his brain had completely ignited his bloodlust. He raised the head of the flamethrower and kicked the corpse away.
The gun barrel was pointed directly at the mouth!
Press the safety! Open the gas passage! Pull the heavy trigger! All in one smooth motion!
Flames erupted instantly, filling the field of vision for many, turning the entire area red, like a dragon-like cloud breaking free from its restraints and rushing out!
The flames reached as far as an entire observation room! They scorched the flying insects!
The insects' soft abdomens could not withstand such high temperatures. Caught off guard, they instantly turned into charred corpses and fell to the ground from the air!
So these things began to consciously avoid each other, retreating towards the area without temperature. The man holding the flamethrower would not let go of such a golden opportunity. He knew very well that he was buying space for his comrades behind him to shoot and catch their breath!
He alone is a line of defense!
Flamethrowers are extremely lethal and inhumane, so they are banned in modern warfare! But against these invaders, they have demonstrated the power of a prohibited weapon!
However, this weapon has a drawback! It generates extremely high temperatures for extended periods, and even a muzzle made of an extremely heat-resistant alloy cannot withstand it! After a while, the person holding the weapon, under the combined pressure of its weight and the high temperature, put it down and gasped for breath.
A pause of a few seconds can be fatal...
Once the flames were no longer an obstacle, the insects swarmed over them, attacking the musketeer standing at the front. He was completely covered by them, his white protective suit was no longer visible, and the insects crawled all over him!
Many people stared in disbelief at the scene.
The scream lasted for half a second before abruptly stopping. The flying insects soared into the sky, leaving only a cleanly gnawed skeleton that fell to the ground with a "thud," along with the gun.
"Maren!" The police captain, in his forties, trembled with fear!
The musketeer would never respond to him again, for his life had already ended.
"Fuck you!" He pulled a grenade from his body, removed the pin, counted a few seconds in his head, and then flung it into the air!
A beautifully curved line!
On the first-floor terrace, Jiang Cheng stood there, watching this scene with a complicated expression. He silently mourned for the sacrifices made, but no matter what, the order had to be carried out to the end!
For humanity.
Everything for humanity!
Gu Qingwan quietly leaned forward, her hands clasped together. She had been by Jiang Cheng's side ever since she arrived, and she still was now. She gently covered his ears with her palms and softly said, "Boss, close your eyes for a moment."
The next second!
With a deafening "Bang!", the grenade exploded in mid-air! The deafening sound echoed throughout the entire observation tower, and the dazzling light was like the most magnificent fireworks in the sky! The entire northern town, so remote, heard the explosion clearly!
Shrapnel flew everywhere!
The smell of gunpowder filled Jiang Cheng's nostrils, so raw, chilling, and scorching... He felt a wave of heat wash over him!
Life scattered and flew away.
When they opened their eyes again, there were many more wrecks on the ground. The explosion at such close range not only caused heavy losses to the Zerg, but also caused the police officers to experience temporary hearing loss. In a daze, they stared at the area where the smoke was billowing, picked up their guns, aimed shakily, and fired!
Gu Qingwan lowered her hand, and Jiang Cheng looked down at the insects from his high position.
He silently calculated the time in his mind, the time it would take to end these invaders.
All fear stems from insufficient firepower.
Now that we know, there's nothing left to be afraid of...
