Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 176 - 148: The Second Method_1

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

The second round of artillery fire fell, and Ye Feng stared intently at the area being bombarded.

As each shell exploded, the expression on Ye Feng’s face began to change.

"It actually works. The moment the shells explode, the corrosive energy at the blast center is clearly diminished."

"But... why?"

"Shockwaves? Impossible, physical damage can’t affect corrosive energy."

As another shell detonated, with the dynamic vision of a Third Order Mutated Goshawk, he could even see the entire process of a shell from when it hit the ground to when it exploded.

The instant he saw the terrifying fireball that seemed capable of destroying everything burst from within the explosion, a realization dawned on him.

"It’s high-temperature flames!!!"

"Even ordinary flames can make the corrosive energy recede, proving that flames do have an effect on corrosive energy, just not hot enough."

"As long as the temperature reaches a certain level, flames can react with the corrosive energy just like lightning, neutralizing each other." At that moment, Ye Feng’s thoughts became crystal clear.

After this round of bombardment, he quickly commanded the Mutated Parrot to relay to Bai Yinghui, "Keep bombing! It’s working, a lot of the corrosive energy has been neutralized."

At these words, Bai Yinghui’s expression also froze slightly. To be honest, when he gave the order to bombard, it was a desperate attempt, but he hadn’t expected it to work.

"Haha! Good, thermal weapons are indeed the truth." He couldn’t help but burst out laughing; he was now much more confident.

As long as it was effective, so what if the Evil God truly revived?

They also had the ultimate weapon: nuclear weapons!

Watching the other party laughing, Ye Feng said nothing.

Once the laughter subsided, he said, "Then deploy an artillery battalion here, let’s take the opportunity and solve the problems of this forbidden area."

"Deploy an artillery battalion here? Why?" Bai Yinghui asked.

"Of course, to make a quick decision! With just this manpower, how long would we be bombing?" Ye Feng said.

Upon hearing the Mutated Parrot speak, Bai Yinghui felt a twinge in his heart, a bad premonition, "To resolve this forbidden area, how much ammunition do you estimate we need?"

Ye Feng: "About the same as what you just mentioned!"

"Hmm?" Bai Yinghui did not remember having said anything before.

"That’s to level off Small Phoenix Mountain with the required amount of ammunition! About 100,000 rounds of howitzer shells should be enough!" Ye Feng roughly estimated.

"How... how many?" Bai Yinghui swallowed.

Even if he emptied the entire Yang City military district’s inventory, they did not have 100,000 howitzer shells!

"I estimate around 100,000 should be sufficient, but to be safe, you’d better prepare 150,000. If possible, switch them all to high-explosive shells, as those work best," Ye Feng seriously advised, without a hint of jest.

Hearing this, Bai Yinghui almost choked on his breath – he had just been speaking offhand, how could it be taken seriously!?

Let alone not having so many shells at his disposal now, even if he could, he wouldn’t want to!

After all, without so many shells, when the mutated insects from Donglin Mountain Range attack in ten days, what would they use to defend themselves?

The city walls were only for defense; the true killers of the mutated insects were these shells.

As for appealing to the state, he had thought of it, but even if he applied now, under the current circumstances, no one knew how long they would have to wait.

After all, other cities, after the mutated beings crisis, faced difficult situations as well, and they would certainly make requests to the state for weapons.

From what he knew, some cities’ defense forces were even in a precarious state, so even in terms of urgency, they wouldn’t be high in the queue.

Bai Yinghui frowned in thought, but quickly he caught an important piece of information revealed in the Mutated Parrot’s words.

"You said high-explosive shells work best, so does that mean each type of shell has a different effect when bombing corrosive energy?" Bai Yinghui inquired.

"Hmm, yes. It’s related to the temperature, the higher the temperature, the more corrosive energy it can neutralize," Ye Feng said.

"Temperature? Wouldn’t incendiary grenades releasing high-temperature flames work?" Bai Yinghui frowned, looking at the areas that had been ignited by incendiary grenades.

The flames released by incendiary grenades reached 1000 degrees, normally enough to destroy all carbon-based lifeforms.

"No!" The Mutated Parrot shook its head, "These shells can neutralize corrosive energy only at the instant they detonate, when the high temperatures are released at the core."

"But because the time period is so short, the amount of corrosive energy neutralized is also limited."

"What temperature is needed then, to meet the requirements?" Bai Yinghui asked.

Rather than wasting shells blindly bombing, it was better to understand clearly and then make targeted arrangements.

But faced with his question, the Mutated Parrot just shook its head, "I don’t know."

Bai Yinghui was somewhat speechless. Just when he was about to pick up the phone, intending to call someone to bring the appropriate instruments for testing,

Wang Feng, standing on the side as a bodyguard, spoke up, "Perhaps I have a way to figure it out."

"Hmm?"

Bai Yinghui and the Mutated Parrot both turned to look at him.

Being stared at by the Mutated Parrot, Wang Feng felt his scalp tingle and without any delay, hurriedly said, "My mutant power is to condense a python made of flames."
