Zhang Xiaoqiang had found the key to solving the problem, but Wan Qiang was like a cat that had smelled fish. He was ready to solve the queen's nest alone. Looking at the high-spirited Wan Qiang, Zhang Xiaoqiang had a weird expression on his face. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen someone as shameless as Wan Qiang.
He could not even see Wan Qiang when he was gnawing on the bones, but he had appeared when he was picking peaches. Wan Qiang's thick skin was really a waste of his shamelessness.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, you don't have to be so polite with me. We're all from the same place. If I don't help you, who else can I help?
The problem of the flying insects must be solved, and I happen to have something that can be used. Zhang Xiaoqiang has been busy for so many days, it's time for you to take a break. Leave the rest to me … "
Wan Qiang appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang warmly. His twisted face forced a smile. Not only was it not kind, but it looked even more terrifying. Wan Qiang's appearance frightened Simon and the others, and they immediately put up their guard against Wan Qiang. Wan Qiang ignored these little bugs, and his eyes were always on Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang gave Wan Qiang a fake smile, pointed at Wan Qiang, and said to Simon, "This is the supreme leader of the new Russian government, the new tsar. We came to Japan this time to investigate the possible impact of the red algae on the land. Maybe the collapse of Japan has something to do with the red algae …"
After Zhang Xiao Qiang introduced Wan Qiang to Simon, he went on to explain the current situation. He did not hide anything from Wan Qiang, the problem of the flying insects could be solved, but the problem of the New Era would not be easy. Wan Qiang had placed his attention on the Queen Beetle, he might as well come up with a solution to the New Era problem. The 3 of them then had a meeting outside the outpost. From time to time, some flying insects would fly down and crawl around them. Looking at the palm-sized beetles, Zhang Xiao Qiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. It seemed like these beetles were not just Mutant Insects. Simon had previously thought of using them as meat supplements. A beetle's carapace was peeled off, its organs and head were removed, and the edible parts took up a third of its body. If tens of millions of beetles could be reared separately, it would be a few thousand tonnes of high protein meat.
These beetles ate everything, and their digestive system was immune to almost all plant toxins. The mutated plants on Okinawa Island were as developed as anywhere else, but in just a few days, the beetles had already gnawed away the plants on several mountains. Although it was damaging to the environment, from another point of view, these beetles were the best way to eliminate the mutated plants.
Of course, for the time being, capturing the beetles was like a dream. Not to mention that the beetles were as fast as lightning and could turn into the King of Hell once they were provoked, even if these beetles were harmless, they would not be able to capture these tens of millions of insects. The only way was to capture the mother beetle. With the mother beetle, they would have countless beetles. By then, they could set up some farms all over the country. According to the beetles' gluttony, which was comparable to that of locusts, they might even be able to devour the red algae that was constantly spreading in the sea …
Wan Qiang was bragging to Simon about the power of the Father of All Bombs, such as the explosion radius of 300 meters, the second air explosion, the burning of the air, and so on. Simon was stunned when he heard that Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly jumped up and paced back and forth in front of the two as if he was hysterical. While they were still in shock, Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly raised his head, and his bright eyes flashed with an aggressive look. He looked at the two and said, "We can't kill the mother beetle. We have to capture it alive. Before that, we have to clear the adult beetles around the mother beetle …"
"You're crazy …" Wan Qiang immediately retorted, while Simon looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang strangely, as if he was trying to find something wrong with Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head and said, "The mother beetle is very useful. Once the problem of the new era is solved, I will bring the mother beetle back to China. At that time, we will go our separate ways. I promise you that as long as you can help me get the mother beetle, I will help you achieve your respective goals, no matter what you need …"
If Zhang Xiaoqiang's guess was correct, the importance of the mother beetle would be greater than anything else. The red algae was the main culprit that devoured the land. In order to stop the growth of the red algae, greedy creatures like the one-horned beetle had to devour faster than the growth of the red algae. Zhang Xiaoqiang was determined to get the mother beetle. Before that, he had to clear tens of millions of one-horned beetles, ice beetles, and knife-arm insects.
"What do you want that thing for?
Putting aside the fact that it weighs at least ten tons, the tens of thousands of giant blue beetles around it are not to be trifled with. Also, there are praying mantises the size of small cars. Zhang Xiaoqiang, we are all from the same village. You can't trick us into jumping into the fire pit … "The first thing that came to Wan Qiang's mind was to refuse. Zhang Xiaoqiang's idea was too bold. It was beyond his expectations. According to his idea, he could just transport the bomb to the mountain where the flying insects' nest was and detonate it. At that time, he would become the great hero who had won the battle and swept away his previous impression of being a coward. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not take the shortcut and insisted on risking his life with the mother beetle. Was this fun?
"Bang …" A crystal core that was shining with seven colors was thrown to Wan Qiang's feet. This fist-sized crystal core immediately attracted Wan Qiang's attention. Zhang Xiaoqiang stared at the crystal core as if he was reluctant to part with it. Wan Qiang did not know what kind of gourd Zhang Xiaoqiang had bought. He bent down and picked up the crystal core. Wan Qiang's palm was twice the size of an ordinary person. In his hand, the crystal core looked like a small pigeon egg. Holding it in the center of his palm, Wan Qiang could feel an indescribable feeling contained within the crystal core.
"It's not as complicated as you think. We don't have to enter the mother beetle's nest to kill each other. As long as it's a mutated beast, it will go crazy. I don't think the mother beetle will reject it. The only thing we need to consider is how to deal with the ice beetles and knife arms after we lure the mother beetle out …"
Wan Qiang did not completely believe it, but it was not that he did not believe it at all. But when he heard that they did not need to enter the nest, it did not matter anymore. Simon also did not believe it, but he had already told Zhang Xiaoqiang everything, so he just let it be. At this time, Li Yuehan walked in and whispered to Zhang Xiaoqiang, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, the leader of the Chinese who escaped from the Japanese said that he has a way to open up the city, and he needs to report to you …"
Wu Fan was once again brought in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang. This time, Wu Fan had successfully attracted Zhang Xiaoqiang's attention. At this moment, he looked completely different from before. It was not that his appearance had changed. Zhang Xiaoqiang had seen countless people, and he had never cared whether someone was handsome or not. He only cared about a person's aura. Even if it was an ordinary person, if they had a strong aura, Zhang Xiaoqiang would still respect them. Similarly, if a strong evolver did not have his own aura, Zhang Xiaoqiang would not pay attention to it, because he knew that if he peeled off the layer of weakness, all that was left was a pale weakness.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang appear, Wu Fan did not kneel down in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang. He was also looking at Zhang Xiaoqiang and Wan Qiang, who had just appeared. The first stage of the city cleaning operation had given Wu Fan the heart of a strong evolver, and it had also made his senses sharper. Before, he had vaguely felt that Zhang Xiaoqiang was very scary, but at this moment, his feeling was even stronger. He had directly realized that under the silence of Zhang Xiaoqiang, there was an unimaginable tension and pressure. Staying next to Zhang Xiaoqiang was as dangerous as staying next to a bomb that could be detonated at any time. Not to mention Wan Qiang, he could feel the pressure of a natural enemy from Wan Qiang. Wan Qiang was like a mighty lion, and he was more like a trembling lamb in front of the lion.
"You were looking for me?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not say much and went straight to the point. Wu Fan swallowed his saliva and looked at the ground, not daring to look at Zhang Xiaoqiang and Wan Qiang. He clenched his fists and said as calmly as possible, "I found a sound equipment warehouse, and there are a lot of loudspeakers inside. I know that the flying insects are very sensitive to noise, so maybe we can use the flying insects to clean up the zombies for us, as long as we connect the loudspeakers with electricity …"
"There is no problem with the power supply. We found a lot of diesel this time, and there are also the military's power generators, which can provide a full 12 hours of electricity for 3,000 people. There are also no problems with the wiring. There is a 30km long cable in the military warehouse, and we just need the Agility-based evolvers to send the cable over the zombies' heads …" At this time, Tie Zhongyuan also walked up. He was the first one who knew about Wu Fan's plan. In the beginning, he was the first to lead the battle, but later on, Wu Fan caught up, which made him appreciate Wu Fan. Because the first time Wu Fan used his full strength, he was exhausted after going through three streets of zombies. Fortunately, Tie Zhongyuan had saved him in time, or else Wu Fan, who deserved to be called a top-tier evolver, would have been a short-lived one.
"We can provide special equipment that can seal the smell of the whole body. These equipment are special chemicals that are used to attack the enemy's rear. If it wasn't for the fact that these things are stored in the middle of the city, I believe that we would have already cleaned up the millions of mutants …" Simon also stood up. The military warehouse was like Doraemon's treasure bag, there were all kinds of strange things, and if it was done properly, it would indeed provide them with the greatest convenience.
"The zombies will be attracted by noise and fresh blood. If we first use fresh blood to gather the zombies, and then use the sound equipment, maybe …" Tie Zhongyuan took out the electronic tablet map that he found in the US military warehouse and drew a few red circles on it, marking out the information that the Russians had collected from the air.
Wan Qiang frowned, this was a very good idea. The oil warehouse was on the other side of the city, and if they wanted to clear the route to the oil tanks, they would first have to cross the city. Provoking the flying insects to kill the zombies was a good idea, but Zhang Xiaoqiang thought even further. Through the city, clear the zombies, recover the oil tanks, make flamethrowers to kill the flying insects, capture the mother insect, and then end the operation in Okinawa. On top of this, there was another problem that made him restless, the problem of the New Era …
"Since you have an idea, then take action. Wan Qiang, your people can help the Americans to set up air defense positions in the nearby mountains. It would be best to set up an air defense line before tomorrow …" This was related to the counterattack of the New Era, so Wan Qiang did not refuse. He signaled Tie Zhongyuan to handle it, and then Zhang Xiaoqiang assigned tasks to Li Yuehan and Simon. When the two of them were preparing separately, Zhang Xiaoqiang finally looked at Wu Fan, who was waiting on the side.
"What do you want …" Zhang Xiaoqiang did not think highly of Wu Fan just because he was his compatriot. The things that he had experienced these days made him realize that without a few subordinates, he might not be able to rely on his fists. At the end of the day, fists were not as good as favors. Unless he could make everyone respect him, a few hundred evolvers would not be able to hold him back. If not, why would the evolvers that volunteered to go with him on this adventure were all evolvers that he had helped before?
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not see Wu Fan as a real compatriot. It should be known that Zhang Xiaoqiang had never been to a first-tier city before, let alone go abroad. When he was jealous, he did not recognize them as people from the same world as him. Naturally, he did not like Wu Fan and his people.
Wu Fan was originally nervous, but when he heard Zhang Xiao Qiang directly asking him what he wanted, he was stunned. He came up with this idea purely to kill the zombies, and did not consider what he would get in return. But Zhang Xiao Qiang's promise was not light, and he already knew Zhang Xiao Qiang's current identity. For a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he said, "Go home …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang was dazed, and he could not help but look at Wu Fan's right hand. Wu Fan's right hand only had four fingers, and his little finger had not been broken for a long time. There was still a black and red blood callus at the base of the little finger. Looking at the crippled right hand, Zhang Xiaoqiang could not help but say to himself, "One dead, one broken finger. It is not easy for the Chinese to wander outside …"
"What?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang muttered to himself, and Wu Fan did not hear it clearly, so he asked back. Zhang Xiaoqiang saw Wu Fan's bloodshot eyes and his haggard appearance, and remembered the broken finger oath in Hubei. He nodded heavily and said, "I promise you, all of your companions will return to China, and I will give them a safe environment and a job without worrying about food and clothing …" Wu Fan's face showed a happy expression, but he did not expect Zhang Xiaoqiang to change the topic, "But that does not include you, you are not suitable to live like an ordinary person. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Whether your companions live well or not depends on your contributions. There are many survivors in China who are not living well, if you want them to live well, you have to work hard …" Zhang Xiaoqiang's words were considered as an official invitation for Wu Fan to join his team. Zhang Xiaoqiang's approval made Wu Fan put down the anxiety in his heart, and let out a heavy sigh of relief. He had finally fought for a better ending for more than a hundred companions …
