Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The most direct way to kill the mutated crows is to burn them. Using heavy flamethrowers to spray large areas from all directions can reduce the attacks of crows on nearby residential areas to a certain extent.

It seems that this is not the first time that the Self-Defense Forces have faced a group of mutated crows. The Self-Defense Force members were all wearing heavy protective clothing, black armor vests and elbow pads, and even protective helmets. They had also taken protective measures on various parts of their bodies that were most vulnerable to attacks from the crows' beaks.

However, there is always a loophole. Such protective measures can only minimize the attacks of crows, but cannot completely protect against harm from crows.

At this time, a Self-Defense Force member holding a fire extinguisher was attacked by a group of mutant crows while changing fuel. These mutant crows were more aggressive and smarter than ordinary crows. While they were afraid of fire extinguishers in human hands, they also aimed at humans when their defense was the lowest.

One of the crows aimed at the unprotected calf of the Self-Defense Force, and only a scream was heard.

Others saw that the Self-Defense Force member wailed and fell to the ground because of the attack of the mutant crows. At the same time, more mutant crows surrounded him and started pecking and biting frantically on the parts of his body that had no protection.

Their beaks have undergone mutation and evolution and have long since become different from those of ordinary crows. They are extremely sharp and can peck directly through human skin like a knife.

The other members of the Self-Defense Force were unable to save their companions. They could not aim the flamethrowers at them, but pulling them would only make the mutated crows turn their targets towards themselves. Therefore, they could only watch as they threw the flamethrowers together and ran forward recklessly without any purpose, but suddenly fell to the ground because of the pain, and more mutant crows rushed in frantically.

Scrill screams continued incessantly, and when a pillar of fire accurately hit the group of mutant crows, the crows flapped their wings and fled. The person lying on the ground was already twitching non-stop, with bloody holes still oozing from his body.

In addition, colleagues at the health center, under the cover of the psychic team sent by the Self-Defense Forces, immediately carried the injured Self-Defense Force member onto a stretcher.

The Self-Defense Force member who had attacked before was a C-level psychic. At this moment, he was skillfully using his fire ability to release tongues of fire about seven or eight meters high from his palms. He was seen waving his palms and spraying them continuously into the air, from which flaming crow fireballs kept falling.

Such situations continued to occur in different neighborhoods, and even more tragic situations occurred. Some Self-Defense Force members were accidentally injured by the flamethrowers in their hands when they were attacked and were engulfed in huge flames, eventually causing self-immolation and casualties.

Xiaoli stepped forward and tried to cover Lan Qin's eyes, not wanting the child to see such a cruel scene.

Lan Qin smiled and shook her head, "Sister Xiaoli, I've seen all this when I was outside. There are even more tragic situations. You don't have to worry about me. I'm not afraid now. After all, I'll have to face it sooner or later."

Xiaoli opened her mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but in the end she could only shut it.

With the suppression actions of the Self-Defense Forces and the psychics, the flocks of crows that were rampaging in the neighborhood have been effectively controlled.

At this time, the sound of a helicopter roared in the sky, and the insecticide spraying that had been seen before was seen being carried out in an orderly manner.

This time, the al-Qaeda government dispatched more than a thousand Self-Defense Force members to carry out the suppression operation on a total of 36 streets near the commercial districts, and the number of helicopters was increased from 25 at the beginning to 31.

Since the beginning of last month, senior government officials have formulated a plan to expand the base and recruit members of the Self-Defense Forces. The first batch of recruitment plans was completed in the middle of the month. In the end, a total of 230 members were qualified to join the Self-Defense Forces, of which 15% were people with special abilities.

The second round of conscription is scheduled to be completed by the end of the month, with the plan to add 500 Self-Defense Force members.

There will be three batches of conscription, which are expected to take three months to complete. The total number of people will reach more than 1,200. This is also the first time that the base has conducted large-scale conscription.

The conscription plan had actually been decided when the base was counting the number of people at the base. The current population of the base has skyrocketed by 20% in half a year. If conscription is not actively carried out, the original 2,000-plus Self-Defense Force members will simply not be able to effectively maintain the base with a population of hundreds of thousands.

If the underground city project is completed next year and the first batch of 100,000 people move in to live in the underground city, then at least a 1,000-man Self-Defense Force will have to be arranged to carry out security management.

Whether it is a country or a base, once the order is broken or chaotic, it is destined not to develop for long.

Therefore, the reason why the Self-Defense Forces were deployed so quickly this time was also related to the previous conscription plan. As the number of Self-Defense Forces increased, the emergency response capability also improved.

At this time, the final finishing operation had already begun outside. The crows gradually retreated to other directions in the sky. Looking out the window, the ground was littered with the charred corpses of crows.

Residents hiding in their homes can only wait in fear for the end of the pest control operation.

Gu Tongwan walked near the warehouse and heard that the rustling sound inside seemed to have stopped. The black-shelled cockroaches had most likely retreated back to the sewer or vent.

Only after the outside broadcast announced that the martial law could be temporarily lifted and encouraged residents to carry out the final cleaning and disinfection of the streets did some brave residents come out of their houses.

However, there are still some residents who are afraid of the return of insect plague and are still taking a wait-and-see attitude. They are still unwilling to take risks and are only willing to live in their own small houses with one acre and three mu of land.

Aunt Man was one of the first residents to go out. She wore two layers of masks because the streets, which had just finished an insect extermination operation, were still filled with the unpleasant smell of burnt crows and a disgusting stench from black-shelled cockroaches.

The proprietress accidentally stepped on the densely packed black-shelled cockroach corpses on the ground. The moment she lifted her foot, she felt the sole of her shoe was sticky. In the end, she could only accept the urge to retch and continue walking forward.

At this time, other people also appeared on the street one after another. Everyone looked at each other. Some of them still held iron basins and machetes in their hands. They were wearing extremely ridiculous clothes. They used cardboard or sponges to protect important parts of their bodies. Some people even put plastic buckets on their heads, with only two holes dug in the area of ​​their eyes.

In the third year of the apocalypse, the base encountered its largest-scale insect plague for the first time, and was also attacked by a flock of mutated crows for the first time.
