I’m A Wasteland Giant Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Leaving Nan Yuan City

Arctic Circle.

The people who arrived here hadn’t slept for a day. Everyone worked with their hands, digging a cellar deep enough to keep them warm.

At noon, the official in charge of the command center finally gave the order to rest, and the rich and powerful elites let out a cheer without caring about their image. They were wrapped in thick clothes as they strolled down into the cellar they had dug, snoring in no time.

Before doomsday, the rich class had used their connections and wealth to come to this place, but that was all their identity and relations could do. Apart from providing labor now, they had no other role for the time being, so not even the richest were exempt.

The Arctic Circle was lacking in food. The people who fled here also didn’t carry much food with them, so they had to go out to find food to feed all these people.

There were officials who had already set up a labor schedule for these formerly rich people. Apart from some rich people who couldn’t see reality or refused to change their views and work, they were told that there was no food. However, most people quickly adapted to the situation.

At the Chinese military command center.

The unusually bustling and busy scene no longer existed, and everyone was silently staring at the big screen.

On the screen was a live broadcast of the Western Hemisphere, which had entered nighttime once again!

Spatial channels which were originally only a dozen meters in size had now turned into tens of meters or even more than 100 meters in size.

From the bottom of the spatial channels, black beetles gushed outward in a steady stream, with golden beetles that were more than five meters tall and 20 meters long interspersed among them from time to time.

Earlier, golden beetles might not have appeared from the spatial channels, but now, one would show up every few minutes.

The reason why the people in the command center went silent was because from these spatial channels, a type of giant insect that was 40 to 50 meters tall and about 200 to 300 hundred meters long had appeared.

Probably due to its great weight, the insect’s legs could no longer support its movements. Every time it moved, it had to wriggle its body like a caterpillar. On its back, it also carried a huge armor-like shell.

Inside the command center, fear was written all over everyone’s face.

“Can we really win?”

A technician muttered. According to the investigation, this wasn’t an isolated case, but all the spatial channels in the Western Hemisphere were also the same.

Apart from using nuclear bombs to annihilate these enormous insects, he couldn’t think of any other weapons that could kill them.

At that moment, the gigantic beetle shown on the screen suddenly ‘plopped’ to the ground and perked its butt high. Its tail opened up and the armor-like shell on its back unfurled like a daisy.

Before the crowd saw the internal structure clearly, this gigantic beetle suddenly contracted and writhed violently.

At the next moment, its unfurled tail sprayed out a glistening dark green matter.

Seeing this, several technicians hurriedly used the computers at hand and calculated.

“Speed reached Mach 1. Ascending an altitude of 500 meters…”

“1,000 meters!”

“1,500 meters!”

“2,000 meters!”

In just a few seconds of work, the cloud of dark green matter flew to a height of nearly two kilometers in the sky and at the next instant…

Boom!

Watching the video screen, the crowd heard the explosion of that cloud of dark green matter.

After the explosion, what was originally a very large green matter spread into countless small green light dots that scattered in all directions instantly.

“What’s that?”

At that moment, this doubt arose in everyone’s mind.

A biological bomb made by the insects?

Or is it corrosive liquid?

Numerous thoughts cruised in the crowd’s mind.

Finally, when those small green light dots splattered to the ground, nothing happened to everyone’s surprise!

“Those are eggs!”

At that moment, a biology researcher couldn’t help but speak up: “The gigantic insects are gravid females responsible for spreading the seeds of life!”

Colonization? Invasion?

At that moment, the crowd thought of countless possibilities.

Before they could remain silent for too long, another type of insect that was 10 meters tall and more than 40 meters long gradually appeared from the spatial channels.

Combat Insect!

As soon as this insect showed up, the answer came to the crowd’s mind.

Because this insect had lots of flickering and exceptionally sharp blades on its legs!

Unlike other insects that appeared softer, at a glance, this insect looked like a machine, as if its body was made of steel.

Nan Yuan City.

Du Gang and his group left the train station and drove to the nearest highway in the car they found earlier.

Among them, An Ya was the only one who could drive, so she had to be the driver, and the passengers suffered several bumps in the vehicle on the road…

Du Gang sat in the passenger seat because with his size, not even the back seat could fit him.

They had a total of six people, but this car was a five-seater, so the back row was crammed with four people.

Fortunately, Chu Zixuan and the rest were students whose bodies hadn’t fully grown yet, so they could fit in the back seat after some squeezing.

Although the car was an urban vehicle, An Ya drove it like an armored tank and its front and rear bumpers had fallen off with some collisions along the way…

The crowd stopped a few 100 meters from the entrance to the Northern Expressway toll booths. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to drive over, but the place was congested with vehicles.

The road was congested a few 100 meters away, before they had even entered, so the horrible situation on the highway was imaginable.

Looking at the vehicles ahead, most of them were a wrecked and twisted mess.

The insects had collided into some vehicles so hard that chunks of bloody flesh were stuck to the car.

“Let’s go!”

An Ya merely glanced at the scene and couldn’t stand it any longer. Her stomach had begun to churn.

Although the others didn’t see what she saw, they felt her emotions through her tone. Moreover, an unpleasant and foul smell had already permeated the place, which also made them not want to stay any longer.

“Let’s head back!”

Du Gang had come to this highway with just a glimmer of hope. But now, it seemed that this route was entirely impossible.

Soon after, they drove away from the highway intersection and stopped in a place where the air was still fresh.

“What should we do now?”

Du Gang took out the map he had prepared before, pointed to a place, and said: “Follow our previous plan; take this county road, and go to the nearest county first!”

On the map, Xing Yuan County was directly north of Nan Yuan City, and the distance between the two places was only a 100 kilometers or so.

The group had discussed before that if the highway was entirely congested, they wouldn’t need to check out the national highway either, because it wouldn’t be in a better state. If they were to drive in a vehicle, their only hope was to go through the county or take the village road.
