Apocalypse: Moonlight Clan's Survival

Gaoyao Country Under Attack

Chapter 41

Gaoyao Country Under Attack

This time, regarding the data analysis of the Fire Pattern Mosquitoes, Researcher Liu prepared two plans. On one hand, he collaborated with technical personnel from other laboratories to first build a relevant model and try to see if they could do it well themselves. On the other hand, Researcher Liu prepared to have two researchers follow this individual in shifts to see if results would emerge this time. After all, there were results last time, so it was possible they could directly grasp the answer this time! Even if they didn't get a free answer, Researcher Liu had other backup plans.

Currently, while the sirens had not yet blared in all of City N, Researcher Liu wanted to list all the points that needed attention. After assigning these tasks, Researcher Liu began to observe the movement routes and the level of harm caused by these Fire Pattern Mosquitoes. Among them, the primary focus was the level of harm. Of course, if they could catch one or two live Fire Pattern Mosquitoes, that would be a highly desirable outcome! However, at the current stage, nothing had been clearly explored yet, and blindly trying to catch these mosquitoes would be too reckless. No one could guarantee that at this stage, the Research Institute had the perfect machinery to capture these mosquitoes. Therefore, they could perhaps only observe more and then work overtime to manufacture a new type of machinery specifically for these Fire Pattern Mosquitoes.

Although manufacturing machinery was considered a common occurrence—after all, since the apocalypse, Researcher Liu and his colleagues had seen all sorts of strange things—many creatures required specially made machinery to be successfully captured or collected. For example, the moth room was specially crafted, containing many new materials and techniques. Of course, Researcher Liu didn't need to think too much about these things; there were specialists for manufacturing, and he only needed to do his job well at the current stage.

Now was a good opportunity to observe and see if these mosquitoes caused any harm. These mosquitoes first explored the area of Gaoyao Country; the entire swarm of Fire Pattern Mosquitoes continuously flew out from the crater and continuously attacked all of Gaoyao Country. From the satellite images, all of Gaoyao Country, without exception, would suffer attacks. These Fire Pattern Mosquitoes used the crater as a starting point and radiated across the entire country.

During this process, Researcher Liu also observed an interesting phenomenon: these Fire Pattern Mosquitoes seemed to have a very clear sense of boundaries, never daring to fly out of Gaoyao Country even by half a step; they all only flew within the scope of this nation. This was truly a strange phenomenon, as if these Fire Pattern Mosquitoes knew that these territories were the domain of this country.

As for the level of harm caused by these Fire Pattern Mosquitoes, it must be mentioned. These Fire Pattern Mosquitoes caused immense harm; they would not only damage human houses but even the human respiratory system would be destroyed. Of course, this was only what Researcher Liu and other researchers observed together. And this disaster not only made Researcher Liu and Researcher Chen collaborate once again but also intentionally invited more geological experts; everyone could learn about the harm of the Fire Pattern Mosquitoes from multiple perspectives.

Researcher Liu insisted on watching the live broadcast images of these Fire Pattern Mosquitoes. Of course, these images were happening in Gaoyao Country; if it were happening in his own country, Researcher Liu felt he wouldn't be able to sit still! After all, these images were truly too horrific; for humanity, it was simply a catastrophe!

When these Fire Pattern Mosquitoes hadn't discovered human architecture, they were very normal, the whole swarm glowing red in the sky. The entire shape of the mosquito was like tiny red dots as bright as fire. Without relying on professional screens, one might only see these mosquitoes as glowing red fireflies in the dark sky, slowly flying about. However, using professional cameras to zoom in, one could clearly see that the mosquito's head was like a hemisphere, with a pair of compound eyes and antennae clearly visible, and the thorax had a pair of legs on each segment, divided into 11 abdominal segments.

And these parts were all glowing; if one didn't observe carefully, they might be affected by this light and directly see the mosquito as a single entity. Among them, the most conspicuous part was the mosquito's proboscis. This position was also what people were most concerned about regarding mosquitoes before the apocalypse. After all, many people had their blood sucked by mosquitoes using this blood-sucking proboscis.

But this time, the proboscis of the Fire Pattern Mosquito was very different. Especially in its destructive effect on architecture, it was simply a super lethal weapon. These Fire Pattern Mosquitoes utilized their own proboscis to destroy architecture. Just one sting from a Fire Pattern Mosquito's proboscis could cause a corner of a house to collapse. It just so happened that these Fire Pattern Mosquitoes appeared in swarms, and a building couldn't possibly be stung by only one Fire Pattern Mosquito. Although the proboscis of the Fire Pattern Mosquito was still very small, wasn't it difficult to deal with because their numbers were so vast?

Quantity over quality. This was exactly what the Fire Pattern Mosquitoes in the images were doing, and they were doing it very well, recently causing several buildings to collapse in succession. Thus, the people inside the buildings were forced to run outside. Moreover, they had to run fast, otherwise it was very easy to be buried. Even though these buildings, after being stung by the mosquitoes, could directly turn into granular solid matter. Regardless of what material the building was made of, it would eventually turn into the same state.

These were almost the pieces of information that Researcher Liu and the other research groups had summarized. And the wings of the Fire Pattern Mosquito also made people very shocked. This shock lay in the efficiency of poisoning people; there was basically no need to contact humans—as long as one entered the air where the mosquitoes were, they would be poisoned to death. Of course, these were also almost a kind of speculation—a bold speculation derived from the images.

The images began with some Fire Pattern Mosquitoes causing the collapse of residents' houses, leading to those local residents, without any preparation and wearing only home clothes, rushing out from houses that were turning into dangerous structures in an instant. Of course, the primary reason for this was perhaps also because these residences were truly too close to the volcano. And the warning from Gaoyao Country was also a late signal; these local residents only heard a warning siren just before they died. However, in less than a minute, those residents who ran out of their houses fell to the ground one by one and never got up again, and according to satellite judgment, these people were already in a state of death. This phenomenon made people feel extremely puzzled. Especially the group of researchers here; they were also extremely puzzled and confused.
