Chapter 1215: The Last Base of China (Part One)
After Fei ventured into the cave underground Beijing and observed the bugs, he had already collected a lot of information and data that he needed. Also, he gathered some samples for research, such as that meat-mountain-like bug commander.
After scanning around, Fei discovered that there were about 40 of these bug commanders, and they were situated in the caves under the various giant cities on Earth, commanding the billions upon billions of bugs on the planet.
Both in terms of quality and quant.i.ty, the bugs on Earth couldn"t be compared to the Polluters that destroyed the Mythical Era on the Azeroth Continent.
However, Fei clearly sensed that the bugs were evolving continuously. Bugs ranging from the bug commanders to the lowest-level bugs were all getting stronger.
This was the most terrifying aspect of the situation.
When the bugs first appeared on the Azeroth Continent, they weren"t at the advantage. They used their sheer number and speed of adaptation and evolution to crush the G.o.d Clan and Demon Clan. That was similar to what was taking place on Earth, further proving that these bugs were the legendary Polluters that caused destruction on the Azeroth Continent.
From the information that Fei learned so far, the bugs that appeared on Earth should be from a mysterious dimension or galaxy. It meant that these bugs were only a tiny portion of this alien species. There were more terrifying ent.i.ties hiding in the depths of the universe.
Perhaps just as the prophecies on the Azeroth Continent predicted, the Polluters were slowly waking up from deep sleep, getting ready for another round of harvest and hunting.
Perhaps Earth was only the beginning.
The Azeroth Continent and other dimensions with high levels of energy were probably the bugs" next target.
Fei took w.a.n.g Jian, Jian Jie, and those few people who claimed to be high-level officials in the government to a city in the northwest region of China.
Right now, the group hovered in the sky.
This city was surrounded by great mountain ranges such as Qing Lin, and wide rivers also wrapped around it. This place was easy to defend and hard to siege. As a result, there weren"t many bugs here.
After the initial panic and chaos when the catastrophe first struck, the military and various forces of China moved here. Using the ancient Great Wall and the newly-built fortresses and defense structures, this city wasn"t taken by the bugs yet.
After Fei scanned this place with his spirit energy, he discovered that this should be the biggest base city in China; about tens of millions of people were crowded in the city, trying to survive.
However, as time pa.s.sed by, the bugs took down other cities and gradually started to focus on this city.
The defensive pressure of the city was increasing every day.
Looking down from the sky, the entire city was surrounded by mountain ranges, the ancient Great Wall, dams, and other structures. Outside the tall walls, many bugs swarmed up from all directions. Like a well-trained troop, they coordinated with each other well and surrounded the city tightly.
The herds of bugs in the front already started to battle the human troops that were defending the city.
The cruel battle was ongoing.
Sounds of cannons and guns resonated in the area continuously, and smoke and dust filled the air.
Fear was gradually devouring the heart of every survivor in the city.
"Don"t panic! Hold your guns tight! Aim at the enemies!"
On a 100-meter-tall fortress that was made from quick-drying cement to the east of the city, a young military officer who was about 20 years old was commanding his soldiers to shoot at the bugs that were rushing over. The bullets turned into many tongues of flames.

Chapter 1215: The Last Base of China (Part Two)
Ordinary heavy weapons could only kill a low-level bug with dozens of bullets. The only effective way to threaten the bugs was to fire at them continuously without stopping.
The situation was getting more and more severe, and the young military officer"s frowning intensified.
Everyone could tell that the bugs were evolving. As time pa.s.sed by, the bugs that appeared outside the city got larger and larger, and their defensive capabilities also improved. Mixed amongst these bugs, there were those monsters that were agile and fast like monkeys. They could easily climb up the defensive walls that were hundreds of meters tall and butcher the soldiers!
Many helicopters flew in the air and dropped napalm bombs which were incendiary mixtures of gelling agents and volatile petrochemicals such as gasoline, burning the bugs on the ground.
Also, radio waves were quickly traveling in the air, issuing different commands. The soldiers in every location of the city felt immense pressure.
"Old Six, how is the situation on your side?" a hoa.r.s.e voice sounded through a military walkie talkie.
The young military officer sighed and said, "My group is still holding on. However, even if we have enough bullets and bombs, I"m not sure how long we can last. The bugs are evolving. Perhaps…"
Before this man could finish speaking, a series of intense explosions happened.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The young military officer looked up and saw about a dozen military helicopters exploding in the air. These helicopters hadn"t returned from the battle, and they got exploded into pieces like ma.s.sive fireworks, falling down from the sky with smoke all over them.
"What is going on? Can the bugs now attack the air?" the young military officer was shocked.
In the last few days, humans relied on the air force to maintain the advantage. Since the bugs couldn"t attack the units in the air, the air force could drop bombs and used missiles to kill large herds of bugs. If the humans lost this advantage, then everything was over!
"d.a.m.n it! What is it?" a soldier shouted.
The young military officer looked up and saw many black monsters that were about four meters long. While flapping their wings that seemed to be made of bone membranes, they looked like giant dragonflies, and they glided toward the defense structures as they buzzed loudly.
"Flying bugs?"
"They destroyed the military helicopters?"
Everyone turned ashen-faced.
"It is done!"
Now that the bugs also had their air force, the humans lost their only advantage. The plan of protecting the city using the newly-built defense structures was rendered useless.
The fate of destruction seemed settled.
"Hiss…" While eye-piercing hissing noises sounded, large herds of flying bugs appeared on the horizon and dove down towards the city, announcing the arrival of doomsday.
The young military officer sighed and looked behind him with unwillingness and love.
Behind him in the city were his old parents, great friends, beautiful wife, and cute and smart son and daughter. They were the motivating factors for him on the frontline, but now he no longer had the strength to protect them. The tragedy was about to strike his loved ones.
"Let us fall into a deep sleep together!" the young military officer took out his handgun and pointed at his temple.
However, when this young man turned around and was about to commit suicide, he suddenly froze on the spot as if he had been turned into a stone. Then, an incredulous expression of thrill appeared on his face.
