The entire city was shrouded in the pressure of the infrasound. Many people were lying limp on the ground, writhing in pain. They had already lost the ability to resist even without the attack of the locusts. Until an ear-piercing air raid alarm sounded, followed by the sound of artillery fire. Countless fireballs rose in the sky, and large groups of insect corpses fell down.
Luo Kai let out a sigh of relief. It was good that the army still had the ability to fight. He had just wanted to forcefully leave the city with Lu Qing. In the face of such a large scale insect plague, it was very difficult for a single person to affect the overall situation. He could only protect the safety of the people around him.
He returned to the bedside and sat down. This intensity of infrasound had no effect on him. He even began to use his spiritual power to feel and study the specific operation of these waves. His powerful spiritual power penetrated into the sound waves, and his throat could not help but vibrate slightly to simulate the frequency of infrasound.
Normally, the sound that humans could hear would disappear in an instant. However, infrasound was different. It could not be blocked by buildings, and the rate of decay was very slow. It would often be diffracted in buildings for a very long time, and could even shake the carbohydrates that built life. When the fine molecules were in intense motion, they would produce a large amount of heat, causing the matter to boil from the inside out. This was the principle behind the microwave oven.
Whether it was infrasound or ultrasonic, they were all resonant with magnetic field frequencies. It seemed that Liu Hou's ability to control people's heartbeat was a type of infrasound that interfered with the movement of the body.
He gradually understood. The production of energy could be said to be very complicated, but it could also be said to be very simple. For example, flames, light, sound waves, magnetic fields, and even all kinds of energy were the result of the friction between the violent movements of the molecules. On the contrary, if the molecules were in a stagnant state, then it would become absolute zero, which was the state of extreme cold.
In general, the movement and explosive power of any living creature came from the violent movements of the deep layers of the cells. When it reached a certain level, it would consume the cells and convert them into kinetic energy. The principle behind Luo Kai's accelerated blood and Qi circulation and even the burning of blood and Qi was like this.
…
In the night sky, countless guns and bullets greeted the insect swarm. There were even powerful incendiary bombs thrown up. The sky seemed to be ignited, and the scorched insect corpses fell like raindrops. The intensity of the infrasound released by the insect swarm was clearly weakened.
Lu Qing carefully walked to the bed. Looking at the scene in the sky that was like fireworks, she excitedly said, "The insects are dying!"
Luo Kai shook his head. "This is just the beginning. There are too many insects."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dense swarm of insects continued to scatter and gather, gradually forming an incomparably huge human face in the sky. It was a huge human face that seemed to be howling in pain. As the expression of pain on the human face changed, even more violent infrasonic waves swept down.
Even Luo Kai couldn't help but tremble. That formless sound wave had broken through his mental barrier, directly attacking his body and mind. He had to involuntarily increase the speed of his blood and Qi circulation to resist this sound wave. If even he was affected, there was no need to mention the others.
The sound of gunfire immediately stopped, and the whole city fell into a deathly silence. Lu Qing covered her head and groaned, then sat down on the ground.
Luo Kai hurriedly went up and hugged her. His heartbeat quickened, and an even more tyrannical mental force spread out, isolating the sound wave.
A large number of locusts had already begun to fall into the city. They weren't individually strong, but they were numerous, almost endless. Even if a physical trainer rushed into the swarm, it would be difficult for them to escape death. After all, there was a limit to human strength. Luo Kai couldn't do anything. Moreover, he also saw that there were quite a few large fellows among the insect swarm that were several times larger than a normal adult.
Insect creatures were completely different from other creatures. It must be known that as long as they were intelligent creatures, they would feel fear and cowardice. These negative emotions would greatly reduce their combat strength. Insects that lived in groups were different. Their individual intelligence wasn't too high, so they wouldn't be affected by their own emotions. Moreover, they were born with a carapace and sharp claws, each and every one of them was an ice-cold killing machine. If it weren't for the limitation of their body size, they would have already dominated this world. Now, this only flaw seemed to be gone.
A large number of insects fell into the city, and the invisible infrasound's power weakened by a lot. Sporadic gunshots rang out once again.
Luo Kai's face kept changing. He couldn't help but stand up and sit down again. Although he had the ability to save some people, he couldn't save the thousands of people in the city. The Severing Blade in front of him felt its master's intense psychological struggle and began to buzz. It was eager to kill … Luo Kai's face kept changing. He could not help but stand up and sit down again.
Lu Qing stepped forward and held his hand, gently shaking her head.
Luo Kai let out a long breath, suppressing the boiling blood in his body. He walked to the window, and could see traces of gray fog rising from every corner of the city. Those were the despair, fear, and resentment of the dead …
At this moment, a suppressed scream of terror came from next door. A swarm of locusts was madly slamming into their door and windows. Soon, the glass was smashed and they drilled in. Shrill screams were heard and more locusts were attracted to them.
Banging sounds came from the window where Luo Kai was. It wouldn't be long before the window was broken.
"Luo Kai, what should we do?" Lu Qing said with a pale face.
They were staying in a luxurious room with floor-to-ceiling windows. The bedroom and living room would be attacked, and it would be very difficult to defend. Luo Kai thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, this place is too conspicuous. The hotel should have a basement. Let's go there."
The two of them brought the food and opened the door. There were already many insects wandering in the corridor. When they saw people, they immediately swarmed over.
The Severing Blade made a clear sound, and all the insects that rushed over were cut in half. These insects actually didn't have much combat power. As long as an ordinary adult had a weapon in their hand, they would have no problem facing five or six insects. However, while humans could be affected by fear and pain, insects couldn't.
Luo Kai walked slowly, and insect corpses kept falling in front of him. The people in the hotel gradually recovered from the invisible infrasound. They realized that they would be eaten by insects sooner or later if they stayed in the room, but they didn't dare to go out. When they heard the sound in the corridor, they all looked through the peephole.
A bald middle-aged man opened the door and said to Luo Kai, "Big brother, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"
Luo Kai looked back at him and nodded.
The middle-aged man immediately carried the bags and followed Luo Kai. With this start, seven or eight people followed behind Luo Kai.
As soon as they went down the first floor, they saw a few insects the size of a human head dragging a person out of a room with a big hole in the door. There was obviously someone in the room who was also pulling. The person was being torn apart and screamed miserably. The insects were impatient and stretched out their blade-like limbs to dismember the person. The scene was extremely bloody.
The people behind him couldn't help but gasp, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
Luo Kai suddenly stamped his foot, and his body disappeared in an instant. The sword flashed, and all the insects were cut in half. The dead insects on the ground were still trembling.
Just as he was about to leave, a cautious voice came from the big hole in the door, "Is it brother Luo?"
A face came out of the big hole. It was a young man with glasses, very familiar. Luo Kai filtered through his mind. It was Erya's brother, Geng Daqiang.
"Are you Geng Daqiang?"
The young man hurriedly said, "It's me, brother Luo. Can you take us with you?"
There was no time to reminisce. Luo Kai nodded and said, "Well, follow me. Remember not to make too much noise."
Geng Daqiang called to the people behind him, "President, Miss Li, come quickly. If you stay here, you will be eaten by insects sooner or later."
The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a big belly and a young woman with heavy makeup came out. Geng Daqiang followed at the back. They first looked outside timidly and saw that the corridor was full of insect corpses. Their faces showed surprise, and they hurriedly smiled at Luo Kai.
