No matter what, Bai Yinghui had seen his fair share of turbulence. Although he was shocked inside, he still maintained his composure on the surface and his mind was rapidly considering all possible counterasures.
"Imdiately pass on my orders: all anti-air guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to take position. Once the Mutated Locusts enter a 1-kiloter range, open fire imdiately, even if it can’t effectively kill the enemy, we must delay them for enough ti."
"At the sa ti, have the logistics departnt move out all of the Thermostatic Shells for launch preparation."
"Moreover, issue a citywide announcent for all residents to tightly shut their doors and windows and to hide as best as they can, waiting for rescue."
At this point, Bai Yinghui paused then inquired, "How much of the second-generation powerful insecticide do we still have?"
"So of it was used by the rescue teams during the first onslaught launched by the Mutated Bug Swarm. We now have approximately 150 kilograms left," Jian Yi imdiately replied.
"Good, call all the Evolutionists back and distribute this second-generation insecticide to them, instructing them to ensure the protection of the rear logistics, the military factories, the field hospitals, and other vital asures."
"We absolutely cannot let the locusts wreck these places; otherwise, we won’t even have the ability to counterattack," Bai Yinghui said seriously.
At this mont, he had actually prepared for the worst in his heart.
That was... how to fight street battles after the city was broken through.
Jian Yi also quickly contained various negative emotions and recorded the orders one by one.
However, in the end, he asked, "What about the Dragon Hall?"
That was certainly an incredibly important force, especially after witnessing the Combat Power demonstrated by the Dragon Hall while resisting the Bug Swarm, their role had beco irreplaceable.
"Help contact the Mutated Parrot; I want to talk to him personally about this matter."
After taking a deep breath, Bai Yinghui said, "I plan to ask for all hands on deck from the Dragon Hall to help us defend the city."
Hearing Bai Yinghui say this, Jian Yi imdiately frowned and hesitantly said, "If we let all of them in, and they harbored any ill will..."
Although they were cooperating with the Dragon Hall, they were also on guard, and the military was retaining so asures for checks and balances as much as possible, as in the case with the Thermostatic Shells.
But if they allowed all the Mutated Beings from the Dragon Hall to enter, and the forr seized the opportunity to take over Yang City, it would be an easy feat; they wouldn’t even have the chance to resist.
"Then let’s take a gamble; I bet that the Dragon King can still stay rational. After all, we are not just one city. We have the support of the whole country behind us."
"If the Dragon King is smart enough, he should also be clear that if he dares to attack Yang City, what he will face will not just be one city but the retribution of the entire nation’s might," Bai Yinghui stated calmly.
Jian Yi opened his mouth but ultimately chose to remain silent, trusting in the other’s decision.
Before long, the air raid siren shrieked piercingly.
Unlike the past occasions, it was not just the air raid siren at the edge of the city wall that went off, but the entire city’s air raid sirens sounded.
At the sa ti, the city’s broadcast system was also activated, warning of an imminent Locust Army strike, urging everyone to be prepared and to keep their doors and windows shut.
The sudden news instantly caused panic among many people; governnt departnts at this mont were not only busy but also sowhat at a loss, as they had no contingency plans for such situations.
Liu Zaoxin, the Mayor, drove to the North City Wall as soon as possible and found Bai Yinghui.
However, before he could speak, Bai Yinghui took the initiative and said, "Old Liu, you’ve arrived at the perfect ti. Later, I plan to ask for more troops from the Dragon Hall for assistance, which will likely cost a lot of money. You don’t have any objections, do you?"
Liu Zaoxin, who had a belly full of questions, swallowed them back down, as he clearly understood the seriousness of the situation at this point.
"Rest assured, no problem. I will fully support you. And about the money, don’t worry too much," Liu Zaoxin said with a wry smile.
If the Locust Army really breached the city later, the economic damage caused would probably be asured in tens of billions. Under such circumstances, the money spent would be the least of the concerns.
Now, he only hoped that, even if the city were breached, they could recover it as quickly as possible and minimize casualties among the residents to the greatest extent.
Seeing the other party had no objections, Bai Yinghui did not continue the discussion, instead, he turned to a ssenger beside him, issuing one command after another.
Liu Zaoxin listened silently, discerning that the other party’s arrangents were likely preparations for an upcoming counteroffensive.
Liu Zaoxin considered for a mont and then took out his cell phone, ready to call Secretary-General Cao Guangzhi.
In the face of such a situation, there wasn’t much that their governnt departnt could do, but he was also well aware that the supply of materials must be ensured.
If the food was devastated by the locusts and the soldiers were starving, they could forget about any counteroffensive battles.
But before he could make the call, a sound of wings flapping ca from the sky.
Both of them looked up to see a huge Mutated Parrot with a wingspan of over 15 ters descending from the sky.
"Parrot ssenger!" Both exclaid almost simultaneously, their tone much more polite than before.
