#488 - Chapter 488 Meeting the Leader Here
It turned out that these beetles had undergone biological modification.
In layman's terms, the beetle's body is modified through a parasitic-like process, allowing them to be completely controlled by another organism inside their body.
The organism parasitizing the body can be understood as a driver.
However, this driver is very unfortunate, as it can only stay inside the beetle's body for its entire life and cannot leave.
Of course, even if it leaves, it cannot survive independently.
Even more bizarrely, the beetle's head extends two tentacles, which are used as weapons.
These two tentacles can actually release high-energy laser beams like laser guns.
Moreover, these two tentacles are innate and not added later.
The laser released by the tentacles is very different from the light released by laser guns; it is a cold light.
Incredibly, this cold light can release twice the energy of existing second-generation laser guns.
Through the analysis of these aircraft, Dongfang Chen came to a conclusion:
One cannot understand the insect empire in the same way as understanding human society.
The rules that apply in human society may not apply at all in the insect empire.
Just like this "aircraft," you can understand it as disposable. The driver and the beetle are completely bound together; their inherent and only mission is to fight. This is unimaginable in human society, and is anti-human rights and anti-social. But insects can do this.
He didn't know what these insect warriors were called, so he gave them a name himself: Laser Flying Bugs.
He had a premonition that he would encounter more bizarre insect species in the future.
There were many dragonfly corpses slaughtered today, and it was impossible for the harvesting aircraft to collect them all in one night.
After all, this is the joint labor result of 200,000 simulated spider robots. To keep up with the recovery speed, at least 50,000 harvesting aircraft need to work simultaneously.
Only 100 units have been built so far, which is far from enough.
There was no way around it; distant water couldn't quench immediate thirst. By the time the harvesting aircraft were built and ready to collect the corpses, these dragonflies would have already rotted. For the rational use of resources, ants were also dispatched.
The huge ant colony was like locusts crossing the border; in a matter of seconds, a dragonfly would be eaten, leaving only its skeleton.
On the other hand, the Tasman Empire lost five Laser Flying Bugs. Would they let it go so easily?
Definitely not.
Soon, they sent over several thousand more.
However, without an absolute weapon advantage, more numbers are just sending food.
In less than an hour, these thousands of Laser Flying Bugs were all wiped out.
At the same time, more than two hundred simulated spider robots were also lost.
......
Currently, the Great Sun Empire's zombie cleanup work in the United States of America has been completely stopped.
Because except for the seven states in the southeast region, other areas have basically been covered by snow.
The current average snow depth has reached a terrifying level of about 2 meters.
Except for the core areas of some cities, most places can't see anything; there is only a vast expanse of white.
Therefore, they can only stay in Cedar Key, Florida, for rest and reorganization, waiting for further orders.
Located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, it is warm and humid due to the influence of the equatorial ocean current.
Under the influence of large-scale global snowfall, the temperature is still in the teens, which is very comfortable.
Florida now gathers half of the population of the entire United States of America, and many survival bases in the northern regions have been completely relocated here.
Especially the two large cities of Orlando and Miami, after the Great Sun Empire's fleet cleared the zombies, have become a paradise for survivors.
......
November 23, 2056 AD.
Several large spaceships appeared on the western border of the Ulan Neutral Zone.
The hull was tiger-striped and strangely shaped.
Dongfang Chen was stunned after receiving the reminder.
This style is very similar to the Mayan Empire of the American continent.
"What are the Mayans doing here?" Dongfang Chen wondered.
This is not a good sign. The Mayans are good at mind control. Now there are three million people living in the underground base of Bato City. It's no joke if they are controlled.
Without time to hesitate, he immediately sent 10 warships to meet them.
The warships were unmanned and not afraid of mind control.
An hour later, the two sides met in the Danbo area.
Dongfang Chen took the lead in sending a signal.
"Warning! This is the territory of the Ulan Neutral Zone. Please leave immediately after receiving the message."
The message was sent in four languages: Chinese, English, Spanish, and ancient Indian.
"We are messengers sent by the High Priest of the Mayan United Empire and have no malicious intent."
The other party responded, using ancient Indian.
"What is the purpose of your visit to the Ulan Neutral Zone?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"We have something very important to personally meet with the leader here," the other party replied.
"Want to see me?" Dongfang Chen was puzzled.
He had never dealt with the Mayans before, and this uninvited visit was obviously very strange.
