Infinite Evolution

"How come so fast?"

Seeing the terrifying insect cloud occupying the distant sky, the expressions of Chu Xun and the others all changed.

Didn't the intelligence say that the swarm would arrive at least 6 hours later? However, based on the position of the worm cloud in the distant sky, it is estimated that it will cover the top of Chu City in a short time!

"Either the information is wrong, or the worm demon has some way to increase the speed of the swarm!" At this moment, Yang Ling's mechanized eyes were shining red, obviously calculating something. Soon, he got the result, and said in a deep voice: "I calculated, the speed of these mutated insects has more than doubled due to some unknown reason. If other factors are not considered, with the current progress of the swarm The speed, at most it only takes 2 hours to reach the top of Chu City!"

As the saying goes, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, although the swarms of insects in the distance are already faintly visible, there is still a certain distance, and coupled with the bloodthirsty nature of the swarms, wherever they pass, human beings and animals will be slaughtered , so it will waste a lot of time. But even so, the time left for Chucheng was cut by two-thirds!

And the lost 4 hours undoubtedly need human life to fill in!

"Two hours, that's not enough for the people from the nearby satellite town to withdraw!" Hearing Yang Ling's estimate, Chu Hang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

If it is according to the original plan, although the three-hour evacuation time is very tight, with the help of supernatural powers, it is enough to evacuate several satellite towns on the way the swarm must pass. Even if they cannot all be arranged in Chu City, they can be dispatched In other satellite towns, at worst, they can escape by themselves.

However, the time left for Chucheng suddenly changed from 6 hours to 2 hours. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Chucheng to dispatch effective forces to evacuate and transfer civilians. Only in this way, the three satellite towns that are located on the only way for the swarms to pass through may not be able to be kept!

Adding up the three satellite towns, there are a total of 70,000 to 80,000 people!

Thinking that tens of thousands of people are about to become the rations of the Zerg, Chu Xun and others feel extremely heavy. They are not sentimental people, but tens of thousands of people... this number is too scary, too unacceptable!

"The city lord...wouldn't have let them do nothing?" Thinking of the terrible result, Chu Hang swallowed hard, then clenched his fists and asked tremblingly.

"Announcement to the whole city: Due to special reasons, the speed of the insect swarm is far faster than expected. Now the whole city immediately enters a state of super-combat readiness. Everyone is requested to act according to the instructions on the super-combat readiness order. Anyone who violates or does not cooperate will be obediently and secretly violated Those who are killed without mercy!"

However, before Chu Xun and others could speak, the sound of announcements from all over the city shattered Chu Hang's fantasy and told him a cruel fact.

The execution of the special combat readiness order caused the whole city to suddenly fall into a dead silence. This was not only because of fear, but more because of the silent tribute to those who were about to die tragically under the worm's mouth.

No matter how cold and indifferent a person is, it is impossible not to feel moved when faced with the tragic death of tens of thousands of people. This has nothing to do with pity and kindness. It is more of a kind of sorrow caused by the death of a rabbit and a fox, and the sorrow caused by things hurting oneself.

After a long silence, the whole city suddenly boiled up, and everyone started to get busy in panic. Because they suddenly thought that if Chu Cheng missed, they would probably die tragically at the mouth of poisonous insects just like the people they just mourned in silence.

"That's tens of thousands of people..." It wasn't until this time that the bear boy realized that he was trembling all over, and looked at Chu Xun with an expression of disbelief, as if he wanted to get an answer from Chu Xun: "Brother... ...How can they be so cruel? Is their blood cold?"

"It's not that human nature is cruel, but that the world is cruel!" Hearing Xiongzi's question, Chu Xun was silent for a moment, then heaved a long sigh, patted Xiongzi on the shoulder, and said, "Because if you don't do this, , once Chu City falls, more people will die. You may not know that after Baicheng was destroyed by insects, the more than ten satellite towns that lived around Baicheng as the center were wiped out one by one in a short time."

"Why?" Xiongzi didn't know this period of history, so after hearing Chu Xun's words, he was obviously taken aback for a moment, and asked: "Didn't it mean that the insect plague stopped in Baicheng, then why did other satellite towns after Baicheng fall?" Destroyed one by one?"

"If there is no skin, there will be no hair. Without the protection of the main city, with the strength and logistics of the satellite town, it is impossible to survive alone." At this moment, Yang Ling also sighed, took Chu Xun's words, and said: "So Although this decision is cruel, it is definitely the most correct choice!"

"So... is this the end of the world?" The bear child who lived in safety and security since he was a child has not really realized the cruelty of the end of the world until now. To survive in this world, people sometimes have to make sacrifices. Otherwise, the final result can only be that everyone hugs and dies together.

For a while, everyone fell silent again.

Yes, this is the end of the world, the cruel end of the world, the end of the world where people die all the time...

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

While Chu Xun and the others were silent, bursts of violent roars and thunders suddenly sounded from the south city wall. At the same time, one after another thunderbolts could be faintly seen descending from the sky, with an astonishing momentum.

In addition to the violent thunder, bursts of shouts, discussions, and roars also continued to sound from the south city wall, and finally gathered into a wave of earth-shattering sound, which reached the ears of Chu Xun and others.

"What's going on here?" Seeing the change in the city wall, Chu Xun and the others were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other, and shot towards the city wall at a very fast speed.

Although there was a change at the city wall, the city defense weapon was not activated, which meant that it was not attacked by a dangerous creature.

And if it is not for the attack of dangerous creatures, then the only thing that makes sense is the human survivors!

Thinking of this, Chu Xun and the others also accelerated.

They are not good people in the simple sense, but their blood is still not cold. If possible, they will naturally try their best to save some people who could not die!

When Chu Xun and others rushed to the city wall, the place was already boiling. Countless people gathered around the city wall, making a lot of noise, as if they were arguing about something. The officer of the city guard who had helped Chu Xun once was also on the city wall, but at this moment his expression was also very hesitant, as if he didn't know how to make a decision.

At the same time, the yelling and cursing from outside the city wall became clearer. And one of them had the most high-pitched and clear voice, and there was even a faint sound of thunder in it, as if every shout was a thunderclap.

"What kind of nonsense special combat readiness order, the swarm is coming soon, let us in quickly, you guys can't let us die outside the city!"

"We escaped with great difficulty, you can't just ignore death!"

"One more person has more power, I am a supernatural being, I can definitely help!"

"Handsome guy above, help me, as long as you let me in, I will be yours!"

...

One after another, yelling and pleading continued to reach Chu Xun and the others' ears. They turned their heads and found that thousands of survivors had gathered under the city wall at some time. These people went into battle lightly, and everyone was in a terrible state of distress. Many of them were even stained with blood and wounded. It was obvious that they had gone through bloody battles in order to come here.

At the same time, the city guard officer was surrounded by people. These people were all supernatural beings who were temporarily recruited to guard the city wall. Now they are arguing, and the subject of the debate is whether to let these people in.

Now that the plague of insects is coming, the defense facilities of the entire city have been fully activated, and the city walls are also covered by magnetic fields. So if you want to let these people in, there are only two options. The first is to turn off the magnetic field and lift these people up with a crane. The second is to open the gates and let them in.

However, for these thousands of people, it takes a long time to open the city gate no matter whether it is opened by a crane, and more importantly, once the magnetic field is turned off, there must be a buffer period of 30 minutes before opening. If they come, Chu City will become extremely passive.

So this moment is also a contest between humanity and reality. If they are not allowed in, the safety of Chu City can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, but at the same time these people will die before their eyes. This kind of guilt and guilt is not something ordinary people can bear.

It is also because of this that the supernatural beings on the city wall are arguing endlessly, and the city guard officer does not know how to make a decision.

And like everyone else, when Chu Xun realized the situation here, he also hesitated.

Madman Chu is in charge of the city defense of the entire city, and as a disciple of Madman Chu, if he steps forward, Madman Chu will most likely let these people enter the city for his sake.

But in this way, this city, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, will also bear huge risks!

After all, for the Zerg, even a small loophole could be infinitely magnified and become an ant nest that collapsed, leading to the destruction of the entire city!

So, these people, should he save them or not?
