Kills car-sized bug

The creatures that emerged were bug-like, and bigger than cars, larger than trucks in many instances. Some unfurled wings. Others bristled rows of stingers on their backsides.

Spikes pushed through the most wounded parts of this carpet of flesh, and skewered some of the insects.

Work with me, fragile one, I thought. Tell me what you got in this shitty trade-off.

I dove, and used my forcefield to punch through the crusty chitin exterior of the largest, spike-impaled insect I could see.

My strength didn't feel any different. My forcefield still broke after a heavy strike.
