440: Chapter 440 God's Gift

Half an hour later, a nuclear explosion was triggered again over Ger County.

This time, it was two bombs at once.

The intense high temperature and shockwave vaporized, shattered, or blew away scorpions within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

Large areas of land around the buildings were cleared.

Everyone was very happy to see that this attack had worked.

But this joy did not last long, and their smiles froze on their faces.

Through the cracks, giant scorpions began to crawl out continuously.

The cleared ground was quickly covered by them again.

Giant scorpions have long legs and run very fast.

They were like armored vehicles, galloping across the plateau, charging wildly. They completely ignored the strong nuclear radiation on the ground.

Small scorpions could be handled by rats, but these giant scorpions could not.

"There's no other way, we can only hold them off!" Commander Yan Zhengping saw this formation and was truly at his wit's end.

The number of nuclear bombs was also limited; they couldn't keep bombing like this indefinitely.

"Pass down the order: the civilians of Sunlight City and Naqu City are to continue evacuating further back. The defending troops are to be divided into 3 groups, with each group rotating for 8 hours, and they must firmly block these giant scorpions outside the city gates."

"Yes, Commander!"

"Tell the Soldiers that this battle doesn't know how long it will last, but as long as there is one person alive, they must guard the city gate for me!" Commander Yan Zhengping said resolutely.

"Yes, Commander!"

They covered a distance of over a thousand kilometers and arrived in less than a day.

Around 4 AM, the giant scorpions had already reached the city walls.

"Hiss~"

Only by actually seeing them could one truly comprehend the extent of their enormous size.

The city wall of Sunlight City was only a dozen meters high, but the body of each scorpion could reach a height of 10 meters. The barbs on their tails reached a terrifying 30 meters high, and the defending Soldiers could only see them by looking up.

In front of them, the city wall was just a small dirt mound that could be easily breached or even destroyed.

"Fire!" Someone shouted.

Everyone came to their senses and started shooting.

They were using Laser Guns; ordinary submachine guns were no longer effective.

The effect of the Laser Guns was better than expected; when a scorpion was hit, a large hole was blasted in its shell. The soft tissue inside was fragile and instantly burned into a large cavity by the high temperature.

The Soldiers were encouraged, and their morale soared.

Soon, a large number of corpses accumulated in front of the city wall, significantly slowing the scorpions' advance.

"Commander, now that the scorpions are all crowded outside, can we transport some cannons here and clear them out periodically?" An officer below called to ask for instructions.

"Hmm, that's a good idea. Go do it now. Transport all the cannons from Changdu. Distribute some to Naqu and keep some here in Sunlight City." Commander Yan Zhengping agreed directly.

"Yes, Commander!" The officer excitedly hung up the phone.

Immediately after, Commander Yan Zhengping called the Military Political Department to apply for a batch of shells in advance.

"Commander, with so many scorpion corpses, can we also deploy the capture aircraft and directly process them into feed? If they keep piling up, they'll stink in a few days." Another officer reported.

Commander Yan Zhengping thought for a moment and replied:

"You can, but you must exercise restraint and leave enough corpses to serve as a speed bump."

"Yes, Commander!"

Currently, the rats in Naqu and Sunlight City are free-range, and their largest food source is small scorpions.

Logically, there is no shortage of food, and the rats' reproduction rate is quite good.

But what if the produced feed was also distributed?

Would the number of rats experience another large explosion?

According to Commander Yan Zhengping's deduction, it would.

"This is absolutely a gift from God! The endless scorpions are an endless supply of food. How many rats can this feed?" Commander Yan Zhengping thought, and the more he thought, the more beautiful it seemed.

"Xiao Chen, give me two more capture aircraft." He couldn't sit still and called Oriental Chen directly.

"I'm sorry, Commander Yan, the aircraft have been discontinued and are no longer for sale." Oriental Chen directly refused.

"Stop talking nonsense, is it about more money?" Commander Yan Zhengping didn't believe him at all.

"Commander Yan, it's not about money. I've already dismantled the production line; it's really discontinued." Oriental Chen said with a wry smile.

"I don't care, you figure it out, I have an urgent need!" Commander Yan Zhengping directly started acting like a rogue.

"You want to recycle those scorpions from Naqu and Sunlight City, right?"

"That's right."

"Then there's no need for aircraft. I can just help you build a few production lines in the city, wouldn't that be better!"

"That's great! Let's do that!" Commander Yan Zhengping was overjoyed.

Aircraft are convenient for movement, but their efficiency is still too low for this purpose.

Both cities have Bee Queens and the crystalss provided by Commander Yan Zhengping, so building production lines was not difficult.

Oriental Chen's consistent design philosophy was simple, direct, and brutal.

He created a large open-air funnel in both cities.

How big? 200 meters long and 120 meters wide.

An entire scorpion could be fed directly without needing to be cut.

Below the funnel was a crusher, which directly pulverized the incoming material into large meat pellets.

The subsequent processing steps were exactly the same as traditional feed production lines, and the final output was still neatly stacked bags of finished feed.
