Chapter 141: Worm Attack, Insecticide Bomb

The body of the female beast was ignited by the flames and made a crackling sound in the rain.

Zhang Shi came to the giant cannon and looked at this new killing weapon.

Ge Dalong came to Zhang Shi, put a giant cannonball into his hand, and explained.

"The zombie beasts attacked last night, and the artillery's lethality was limited. Gong Yi and other craftsmen stayed up all night, and specially developed this big killer weapon for the zombie beasts. Just in time for something to happen on your side, I will use it as an emergency. Let’s try out the power.”

Zhang Shi thought of the scene of shelling the female beast just now. The huge cannonball ignored the carapace and penetrated into its body, and then exploded in its body, causing a rain of blood in the sky. This scene could indeed be called a big killer.

"This thing is really good. Its power is comparable to modern weapons. Let Gong make it in batches. If zombies and beasts attack again tonight, use this thing to make them suffer."

Ge Dalong nodded and added.

"I also have to remind you that this killer weapon is good at everything, but the manufacturing cost is a bit high, and even the shells are extremely expensive. You have to be mentally prepared."

Zhang Shi was noncommittal and asked with a smile.

"Do you think I'm short of money? Besides, isn't the main ingredient of these shells gunpowder? We have plenty of it, so how much can we spend?"

"Excluding the cost of gunpowder, one shell costs about two gold coins."

Zhang Shi was speechless. The price was indeed beyond his expectation, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable. He could only nod his head and pretend to be indifferent.

One wave after another, Wu Qing sent a message with only five words.

"If necessary, return quickly!"

As the saying goes, the fewer the words, the bigger the problem. Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong looked at each other and quickly rushed back to the shelter.

The noise of the heavy rain became the only noise in the wilderness, but as he approached the shelter, Zhang Shi could still hear bursts of bustling shouts. His face sank, feeling that something was wrong.

Zhang Shi and Ge Dalong quickened their pace, and the uneasiness in their hearts was like the heavier rainstorm, weighing heavily on their hearts.

When they entered the shelter, they found that almost everyone gathered at the back of the fortress. Wu Qing was standing on the top floor of the fortress commanding something. Zhang Shi impatiently flashed in front of her, and before he could speak, there was something in front of him. The scene stunned him.

Behind the shelter, the originally solid ground was now covered with densely packed, disgusting worms. Behind them, there was a steady stream of bugs crawling out of the river and squirming along the river bank toward the shelter.

These worms come in different sizes, some are as thin as silk threads, and some are as thick as fingers. They squirm and intertwine into a creepy "carpet." The worms secrete mucus on their bodies, and when washed by the rain, they form patches of greasy light, emitting bursts of disgusting stench.

"What's going on...?"

Zhang Shi's voice was trembling with disbelief. He had never seen such a strange and huge group of creatures. These worms are very likely to be the culprits of the zombie crisis. Now that such a large number of worms gather together, it is an irresistible disaster for any living thing.

Zhang Shi frowned and searched for possible clues among the worms, but he found nothing except worms.

"It's not clear, but it's definitely not a good sign. What is certain is that we are in trouble."

"These worms suddenly appeared, and we were caught off guard. Not only were they numerous, but they also seemed to have some resistance to flames. I tried attacking with flames, but it had no effect, and the rain was too heavy, and the flames were quickly extinguished. ”

Zhang Shi was shocked when he heard this. He quickly looked around and found that the atmosphere in the shelter was extremely tense. People were either holding weapons on guard or busy reinforcing their defenses. Everyone's face was full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Are there any casualties?" Zhang Shi asked.

Wu Qing shook her head, but then added: "Not yet, but if we don't find a countermeasure as soon as possible, I'm afraid..."

"Understood," Zhang Shi interrupted her with a firm look, "We can't sit still and wait for death. Lao Ge, you are responsible for organizing the manpower and continue to try to drive away these worms with flames; Wu Qing, you lead some people to inspect and repair the defense facilities to ensure Our defense line is solid and we cooperate with Lao Ge to attack the bugs with artillery.”

Except for Zhao Feng, who led a group of people to station at the transfer station, everyone in the shelter joined the battle, and Zhang Shi had all arranged their work.

Later, Zhang Shi found the craftsmen and wanted to see if he could use artillery or other devices to find something that could eliminate these worms on a large scale.

The three people quickly divided their work and each engaged in an intense battle. Zhang Shi went straight to the research center and met Gong Yi walking out.

"Lord, you are back. I was going to find you."

Gong Yi, sweating profusely and panting heavily, bumped into Zhang Shi. Zhang Shi pulled him back and signaled him to speak slowly.

"Master Wu Qing provided some samples of worms before, and we have not stopped researching the worms. Just now, we found that there are a small number of worm eggs in the rainwater. They are likely to breed in the water source, which makes wild animals infected. That’s why last night’s attack happened.”

Zhang Shi was stunned after hearing this, and stretched out his hand to catch some rainwater, but even if he used his true appraisal, he could not see anything unusual at all.

"To this end, we have specially customized some insecticide bombs for worms. I have tested them and they are extremely lethal to the tissues of worms and can also spread within a certain range."

Zhang Shi was overjoyed when he heard this. He finally heard something good. He quickly asked the master to take away the insecticide bombs and went to the top of the fortress to test their power.

The rain was still like a curtain, but the tense atmosphere in the shelter eased with the arrival of Zhang Shi. Zhang Shi personally loaded an insecticide bomb, took a deep breath and gave the order to fire.

With the roar of the cannon, the cannonballs cut through the rain curtain and landed accurately in the area where worms were densely packed. In an instant, a strong chemical smell dispersed along with the explosion, and chaos began to appear among the worms. After many worms came into contact with the explosion range of the insecticide bomb, their bodies quickly shrank and turned into pools of black liquid. .

"Effective!" Wu Qing shouted excitedly, eyes flashing. Zhang Shi also breathed a sigh of relief, but then he tensed up again. He found that the black liquid looked familiar, and he unconsciously began to make associations in his mind.

"Gan, you can't be so evil!"

The continuous firing of several insecticide bombs significantly reduced the number of worms, but their resistance seemed to become more tenacious. Some worms began to try to bypass the explosion area and move towards other directions in the shelter. Upon seeing this, Zhang Shi immediately adjusted his strategy and ordered the artillery team to disperse the firepower and carry out multiple attacks on the worms.

At the same time, Gong Yi and his research team are urgently developing more insecticide bombs and continuously sending them to the front line. While wiping his sweat, he said to Zhang Shi: "Lord, although these insecticide bombs are effective, our reserves are limited and the production speed is not fast. We must find the source of the insect swarm as soon as possible and solve the problem fundamentally."
