Chapter 283 The Harm of Herbivorous Insects (Subscription Request)

There were no pedestrians walking along the road, and there were only the footsteps of patrolling soldiers on the streets. It looked very deserted and lonely, like a dead city.

Jiang Zhengqing and Jiang Shishi, with their strong strength, noticed the large population of the houses on both sides of the street.

After driving with the Hummer for ten minutes and still not reaching the destination, passing through a large area of ​​buildings, Jiang Zhengqing felt that the scale of the Lingnan base was huge, with a population of at least 500,000, not as sparse as it seemed.

Swish!

The Hummer slowly stopped in a restaurant. Chen Dong and other senior executives of the base who learned of Wang Jin's arrival walked out and saluted Wang one by one.

Chen Dong, Jia Ding, Murong Jun and other senior executives who stayed in the Lingnan base appeared. Jiang Shishi often hung out in the Lishan base and got familiar with them. Seeing this, she greeted them happily.

"Sister Murong, Fatty Uncle, Uncle Chen, hehe, I came to see you."

Jiang Shishi greeted familiarly. Among the people in the Lishan base, except for her disagreement with Wang Jin, Jiang Shishi had a good relationship with others.

Strangely, Jiang Shishi's temper was only shown in front of Wang Jin, and she didn't lose her temper with other people, which made her get along well with others.

Others also knew that she was the second-in-command of the underground base, and they often made friends with her. The relationship was getting better and better through mutual communication, of course, Wang Jin was an exception.

Wang Jin walked in front, introduced the two parties, and led everyone into the hotel.

On the other side, Wu Zhi and Jia Ding had found a private room to renegotiate the price of renting people.

Jiang Zhengqing and his daughter could not help in the negotiations, so they accompanied Wang Jin and other senior executives to drink tea and chat and wait for the results.

"Brother Wang, there is a clue about the herbivorous insect you asked me to find."

Wang Jin was drinking tea when a loud voice suddenly came from outside the door. He Youxi rushed in and shouted to Wang Jin excitedly.

Swish! A row of people all looked at him.

It was not until then that He Youxi realized that there was an outsider. He scratched his head awkwardly: "Uh, Brother Wang, this is..."

"This is the leader of the underground base! Leader Jiang Zhengqing." Wang Jin explained. He Youxi saw that there was an outsider and took back the words he was about to blurt out. He was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"Herbivorous insects? Keep talking."

When Wang Jin heard this news, he felt that there was no need to keep it secret, so he immediately asked He Youxi to continue.

"When one of our reconnaissance companies established a sentry post, we found herbivorous insects 40 kilometers southwest. The body shape and characteristics are the same as described. Now it has been confirmed that it is a herbivorous insect. Lord City Lord, didn't you ask us to pay attention to finding herbivorous insects? Look, I came here as soon as I got the confirmed news."

He Youxi rubbed his palms and laughed, looking like he was asking for credit.

"Well done!"

Wang Jin smiled and stood up immediately, saying, "Come with me. These herbivorous insects are erratic. If we go too late, they might all run away. Let's go over there first to get first-hand information about them and prepare for a solution in the future."

As soon as Wang Jin stood up, other senior officials of the base also stood up and prepared to follow Wang to find out.

"Herbivorous insects, what are they? Can you help me solve this puzzle?"

Jiang Zhengqing looked at Wang Jin and others who were about to leave, and asked curiously.

There are not many things that Wang Jin can pay attention to. Could this herbivorous insect be some powerful mutant beast?

"Of course, this is not confidential information."

Wang Jin roughly told Jiang Shishi about the information of herbivorous insects. After listening, Jiang Shishi was very interested and said excitedly: "Can I go with you? I have never seen such a herbivorous insect before."

Wang Jin frowned slightly, and Jiang Zhengqing also said: "Brother, I am also interested. If you don't mind, can we go and see it?"

Wang Jin's face was relieved, and he smiled and said: "It would be best if Brother Jiang could come. Maybe he can give me some ideas."

Jiang Shishi pouted. The same words were spoken by father and daughter in different ways.

Jiang Shishi believed that if it was not for her father, Wang Jin would definitely refuse her request.

"Trouble!" Jiang Zhengqing smiled and pulled his daughter, following Wang Jin and his group out of the hotel.

Anyway, the negotiations will not end so soon, so it's better to go out and relax.

The host of Air Force One, which had just stopped not long ago, took off again and flew quickly to the destination 40 kilometers away under the guidance of He Youxi.

Forty kilometers away, a team of fully armed soldiers were on guard here. As soon as Wang Jin's Air Force One arrived, the soldiers urgently escorted and protected the host's landing.

Bang!

The huge host landed slowly. Wang Jin, wearing a sports suit, walked out of the host with Jiang Zhengqing and Chen Dong and came to the grassland.

"Who is responsible here? Where are the traces of herbivorous insects?" Wang Jin glanced at the pair of soldiers and said.

"Lord City Lord! I am under the jurisdiction of Deputy Minister Lin Shibin, the commander of the second company of the second battalion of the third regiment!"

A middle-aged soldier with a beard walked up to Wang Jin, saluted and said respectfully: "The herbivorous insect is here, Lord City Lord, please look, we originally planned to build a temporary outpost here, but we didn't expect to find herbivorous insects."

The bearded man pointed behind him, and the soldiers around him retreated, revealing a deep pit. There was fresh soil outside the pit, and some building materials were placed on the side. It looked like it had just been dug.

Wang Jin walked to the edge of the pit and found that the pit was full of creatures the size of a fingernail, dark blue, and like an enlarged version of aphids.

These creatures were not afraid of people. They kept crawling in the pit and drilling in and out of the soil, which looked a bit disgusting.

Wang Jin grabbed a herbivore, which was crawling on his palm, and it was no different from ordinary insects.

But this kind of insect was even more powerful than locusts, making it impossible for the Lingnan Plain to grow a grain of food.

"It doesn't look special!" Others also came up curiously, standing by the pit and watching the herbivorous insects crawling inside.

Murong Jun even used his supernatural power to freeze a large number of herbivorous insects inside to death, but soon more herbivorous insects drilled out of the soil, and the number basically did not decrease.

"Lord City Lord, please look, this is the harm of herbivorous insects."

The bearded company commander casually pulled up a bunch of weeds, and Wang Jin turned his head to look.

I saw that the roots of this bunch of weeds were full of herbivorous insects, and most of the grass roots had been eaten. Just wait a while, and the rhizomes of this bunch of weeds will be eaten.

Plants live on their roots. If there are no roots, the plants will inevitably wither. No wonder herbivorous insects are so harmful.

Eating plant roots and rhizomes is equivalent to grasping the lifeblood of plants. Basically, wherever herbivorous insects pass, all the food will wither, which is much more harmful than insects that feed on leaves.

"Lord City Lord, this is not the most important thing. Although these herbivorous insects can be killed with one foot, there are too many of them, and they are active underground. We have no way to deal with them!"

The bearded company commander pointed to a large piece of land, and all the nearby soldiers scattered and dug the weeds on the ground.

Every piece of weed dug out has a large number of herbivorous insects attached to the roots.

Wang Jin made a rough estimate. According to the density of herbivores, there are at least millions of herbivores in this area of ​​several kilometers.

Thinking of millions of herbivores, Wang Jin's face was a little heavy. There are millions of herbivores in one area.

According to the captured prisoners, there are at least dozens of such herbivores in the entire Lingnan Plain.

It was not until now that Wang Jin finally understood why Liu Jun could not grow food.

It was not that he didn't want to, but that these herbivores were too many and too powerful.

They burrowed underground to eat the roots and stems of plants, and people could not catch them. In addition, herbivores were not afraid of pesticides. This was an unsolvable situation.
