"Black-striped gray moth?"
Everyone else was surprised.
They had never heard of this creature before.
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "This is a special kind of moth. It looks a bit scary. I can't explain exactly what it looks like. You'll see for yourselves when you see it."
"Christine, are there many black-striped gray moths?"
Christine worriedly said, "It looks like there are no more than 10,000, but there are more than 990 islands in the Solomon Islands, and the number of black-striped gray moths inhabiting the islands is at least several million, or even tens of millions. We definitely can't handle it with just our small number of people."
"..."
Zhang Hao asked in surprise, "You think the black-striped gray moths nearby will also be attracted here? These special moths... I remember that they usually don't go too far unless there is a light source, right?"
"You're right."
Avaro, standing nearby, explained, "The light source is the main reason that attracts these moths. Before the apocalypse, they were omnivorous animals, very similar to locusts, and were mainly fed on crops such as sugarcane, beans, melons, and tea."
"The Solomon Islands is a country that relies heavily on agriculture. It would have been quite easy to hunt these small creatures. All they needed to do was light a campfire or an oil lamp to attract them, and they would be like moths to a flame, courting their own destruction."
"But the mutated black-striped gray moths after the apocalypse became increasingly powerful, and the Solomon Islands had a small population and limited agricultural coverage, so the food was quickly consumed, in addition to the arrival of the meteorite catastrophe."
"No one except the [Cult of Modo] is willing to come here. Without crops to eat, these black-striped gray moths have started attacking humans. But Modo has joined forces with two other organizations in order to take over Guadalcanal Island."
"The black-striped gray moths were driven to other islands. Later, the group fighting for the meteorite took the opportunity to destroy the other two organizations. In order to protect the Holy Church of Modo from being attacked by moths, no light source was allowed at night, and only then did things settle down."
"But this time..."
"The Holy Church of Modo suffered heavy casualties, and the thick stench of blood filled the air, quickly spreading with the sea breeze. This swarm of black-striped gray moths was attracted by the smell of blood; these moths should only be from the nearest island."
“If all the black-striped gray moths of the Solomon Islands come, we will be in grave danger. I think we need to evacuate immediately. The later it gets, the more dangerous it will be. These moths are very ferocious.”
"..."
As expected.
Just as they were discussing it.
Then I saw a group of ferocious-looking moths fly past in mid-air.
These moths look completely different from ordinary moths. They have faint red stripes on their heads and thoraxes, their backs are entirely red with neatly arranged black spots, and their abdomens are red on the back.
The forewings are pale red with black spots.
What's most disgusting is...
At the end of their abdomen are four jet-black tentacles, covered with fine hairs.
The moth was originally only about three centimeters long.
But the mutated Black-striped Gray Moth is seven or eight times larger, and when it swoops down, its terrifying and grotesque limbs send chills down your spine.
Holy crap! Holy crap!
"Is this the black-striped gray moth?"
"I had no idea that there were such grotesque creatures on our planet! I almost thought they were aliens!"
"Good heavens, that's disgusting. What are those black tentacles for?"
"The combination of black and red, and such a brightly colored moth, could it be poisonous?"
"..."
Everyone was talking about it.
Meng Wu and Zhao Wu looked at Zhang Hao, waiting for him to give the order.
Zhang Hao said calmly, "Retreat is not urgent. The Dawn Society has no experience in fighting the Black-striped Gray Moth. This is a good opportunity... You guessed right, these moths are poisonous."
"Moreover, that black tentacle is not just for show. It's not just an organ for mating, but it can also cause death from poisoning if injected into a human. Do not let them get close. Everyone, use your ranged abilities to attack."
"Yes, Chairman."
The members began to use their superpowers.
One after another, supernatural abilities shot out, and the moths were quickly wiped out.
After all, there were only ten thousand of them, and these moths weren't very strong; five thousand people could handle them.
A little while later...
Swarms of black-striped gray moths attacked.
The suicide squad worked together very well, but unfortunately, their numbers were too small and their superpowers were about to run out.
Pfft! Pfft!
One ferocious moth after another flew forward.
Five thousand people is ultimately too few to form an effective defense. Although no one was poisoned thanks to the protection of members like Zhao Wu, they were already showing signs of exhaustion.
Meng Wu said in a low voice, "President, our superpowers are almost used up."
"There are too many of these black-striped gray moths, and we don't have enough people with us... We have to retreat. Commander Zhao Wu and you are not in any danger, but the members may suffer considerable losses."
"What are you afraid of?"
Zhao Wu's eyes turned cold: "Isn't this the very purpose of our Death Squad? Who would want to join the Death Squad if they were afraid of dying? Ask all the members here, who would want to be a coward in the Dawn Society?"
"No! No!!"
"We would rather die than retreat! We would rather die than retreat!!"
"The Death Squad, fearless in the face of death!!"
These words were spoken.
The members of the suicide squad were all as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Zhao Wu looked at Zhang Hao with a ruthless gaze: "President, although the members' abilities are almost exhausted, as you know... they all have trump cards that allow them to perish together with the enemy. Five thousand people may not be a lot."
"But it's enough to teach these moths a lesson they'll never forget. These captives can't be relied on... they might even be a hindrance. Besides, the sea turtle can't carry everyone at once, so this is the best option."
"Your reasoning is valid, but it's not the best option."
"What?"
“We still have a way out. We can ask the members how long they can hold their breath.”
What do you mean?
"Yes."
Zhang Hao replied, "These moths can't swim, but we can have the members dive into the water to avoid them. However, to prevent these moths from stubbornly refusing to leave, you, me, and Christine should take action and deliver a fatal blow to them."
“Although we can’t wipe out tens of millions of moths, we can still manage a hundred thousand or so. As long as the chief of the Black-striped Gray Moth isn’t stupid, he’ll realize that he’s bitten off more than he can chew and he certainly won’t drag this out.”
"Great idea, Chairman, you're so clever," Meng Wu flattered.
Seeing her future husband say this, Christine whispered, "President, you're so smart. I can also get my people to help... to prevent the marine life in the shallow waters from bothering everyone."
