I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 669 Insect Swarm
even,

Amidst the unusual movements, there was also a slight rustling sound.

"what sound?"

There was a hint of doubt in Su Wen's eyes, but the next second, his doubts were all answered.

“It’s a bug.

No, to be exact, it is the [Insect Swarm]. "

Krosan described calmly but accurately,
Because the Dawn System did not distort the sound in the slightest, she also heard the sounds simultaneously and reacted instantly.

“When an insect vibrates its wings, an interaction occurs between the wing membrane and the periosteum.

The periosteum, through its specific shape and elasticity, converts the vibrations on the wing membrane into sound waves, which travel through the air and form the rustling or buzzing sound we hear.

And when the swarm flutters its wings,
Large numbers of insects vibrate their wings simultaneously, and their sounds overlap and reinforce each other, creating a unique collective sound.

This sound is called "group signal" in biology.

Not only does it help insects synchronize their flight, it can also serve as a signal for courtship, foraging, or warning.”

When it comes to this,
There was also a hint of solemnity in the doctor's calm tone.
"Rhine,
You have to remember this.

For some insects, such as locusts or grasshopper-like insects, the structure of their wings is particularly suitable for producing low-frequency vibrations.

These low-frequency vibrations travel farther in open areas such as deserts, allowing the swarm to communicate and locate each other more effectively.

What you may face next may be the worst case scenario:

Death to the locust plague! "

“This steampunk town doesn’t grow a lot of edible plants.
Why would such an insect plague occur?"

He thought,
But with the association with the experience of the Lost Sea, an answer that was very close to the truth emerged in his mind.

"Could it be,

Kuroshio pollution? ! ! ! "

"Probably."

Krosan stirred her coffee and watched intently what was happening on his end.

She was so sleepy just now that she could hardly open her eyelids.

but now,
Perhaps because this matter was so exciting, she was no longer sleepy:
"You have to find a way to hide quickly.
At least, wait until the plague has passed through you before thinking of a way to escape."

"How much time is left?"

"Analyzing the extremely distant sound you captured, half an hour?"

The doctor shrugged.

"Sorry, I study genetics.

Entomology is really too far away from my major, so I can only give a rough estimate. "

Half an hour?

Su Wen looked around quickly, looking for a suitable place that could accommodate a large number of survivors.

In this foggy steampunk town, everything seems hazy and mysterious.

Because of the collision between the abyssal effects of the sleeping and blood moon, the already thick fog was now more like a thick veil, blurring the outline of the town, leaving only a gray outline.

But for Su Wen, who has the ability to identify vision, the thick fog seems to be non-existent.

He turned his gaze towards the dilapidated factory he had just walked out of.
However, the area was in tatters due to the explosions of countless machine gun turrets and was no longer suitable as an area to hide from insect infestations.

In the distance, towering chimneys and gear-intertwined pipes were faintly visible in the fog. Although these buildings were magnificent, they were obviously vulnerable to the insect plague.

The scholar's eyes moved back and forth on the street.

He calmly calculated the area and capacity of each location with the thinking ability of a top physicist.

Simultaneously
I even simulated the scene of the insect plague in my mind.

finally,
His eyes were fixed on a magnificent building in the center of the town.

——It was a huge dome made of steel and glass, with a spacious space and complex mechanical structure inside.

This building is not far from the Steam Square where they are currently located.

And it is right next to the church. The semi-arc fully enclosed structure of the dome even perfectly matches the diffusion range of Prometheus's luminosity. Su Wen understands that this may be the best solution he can find at the moment.

The entire steampunk town does seem particularly narrow because of all the pipes running around.

and,

He needed to truly explore the Greystone Cathedral, the so-called 'educational institution', before leaving.

at the same time,

Because of the executioner's death, the outer patrols who had been implanted with blood pacts all died at the same time, but the nuns in the church were still hiding.

Because Su Wen had been using a drone to monitor those people, he wanted to get more information, so he did not take action immediately.

but now,
Maybe it's the best time.

He waved to Joyce who was standing in the small square in the distance.

Seeing his actions,
The miner girl also had a big smile on her face. She ran towards Su Wen happily and said proudly:

"Mr. Kevin, we saved so many people."

Hearing her say this,

Because of the height difference between the two,

Su Wen also happened to gently rub her hair.
"Awesome."

"hey-hey."

The girl really enjoyed this feeling.

But he didn't waste any time and immediately shared his current predicament with Joyce:
“In half an hour at most, the swarm of insects will cover this place.

It would be easy to protect just the three of you, but didn't you say there were many other companions who were sleeping?
Is there any way to summon them?"

"Woo,

Want to gather so many people?"

She recalled with all her might.

But the next second, before she could think of the answer,

Qin, who was running over from a distance with a book in her arms, gave the answer while panting softly:
"Mr. Kevin,
There is a huge bell at the top of the cathedral.

In the past, whenever the executioner wanted to publicly execute someone, he would send someone to knock on the bell.

Three beeps are for urging, six beeps are for emergency.
If someone still hasn’t come by the ninth ring, he will be executed, which is extremely terrifying.”

“Although the implication is very bad.”

Su Wen thought calmly,

“But right now, it’s probably the best way to go about it.

Joyce,
Could you please ring the bell?"

The girl immediately agreed to this request.

"it is good!"

She felt very happy to be able to help Su Wen.
Besides, he also said that there would be danger soon, so she naturally wanted to save more people.

Norma and Qin Suwen were not ignored either.

He had already sorted out all his thoughts at that moment, so he asked fluently:
"What was the original purpose of that glass dome in the distance?"

"There is"

The short girl hesitated for a moment, and then she uttered four words:
"The Great Execution Ground."

When I heard this name,
Su Wen immediately understood why she had such a painful expression.
"Feel sorry,
But we have to take everyone there for shelter now.
You should have heard what I just said to Joyce.

There is no time. ”

But Qin turned her head slightly:
“I believe you, Mr. Kevin.

From now on, whatever you want to do, I will trust you.

I will take them to the place you mentioned for refuge now."
