Zerg, but after a few months, they ran into this difficult alien again. Still in the Federation galaxy hundreds of light-years apart.
The only discovery so far is only the man Mu Sihan defeated—other than that, who else is being controlled, and where is the key nest, it is completely unclear.
Bai Yue passed through the medics and hurried out of the jungle. Seeing this, Lu Shen and Sikong Xing also followed.
Lu Shen: "Senior Bai Yue, what's wrong?"
He obviously won the game, but he had a solemn expression on his face.
Bai Yue: "The Zerg is here."
Hearing this, Lu Shen was taken aback. He has not participated in the last incident, and he is just hearsay about the Zerg.
He did not doubt the existence of the Zerg, it was just that it had not been long since the last tragic accident happened. He thought it would take a few years for them to start acting again, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Lu Shen: "What should I do now?"
Clearly, now is not the time to play. There are many soldiers gathered here, and compared with the last time, the situation is even worse.
At present, the relationship between the Empire and the Federation has not been eased, and the cooperation is definitely not as easy as that in Queens. Moreover, they mainly came to participate in the competition this time, and did not carry too many military supplies.
Satellite Haixing Military Region is located in a remote location, and the inventory is also very poor. If you really want to fight the Zerg again, it will probably be more difficult than the first time.
Bai Yue: "I will contact the chief to report first, and the game may be suspended."
Lu Shen nodded.
At this moment, someone stopped.
Bai Yue realized that Sikong Xing was not following, so he couldn't help turning his head to look. The other party stood not far away, his head drooping. Liu Hai slightly blocked his eyes, so he couldn't see his emotions clearly.
"Zerg?"
He repeated the question.
It doesn't look right.
At this time, the three of them were far away from the depths of the jungle. Through the thick branches and leaves, I could vaguely hear the rapid and messy footsteps of the medics. But it was like being in another world, a little blurry.
The only thing that was close at hand was the rustling of leaves rubbing against each other, and the sound of reptiles passing through the grass.
Compared with them, Sikong Xing was probably the most injured in that incident.
The father was parasitized, and the skin became the plaything of the Zerg. In the end, he killed his own father with his own hands.
Although they have been together for the past few days, Sikong Xing has not changed at all on the surface. Still talking and laughing as usual, without any negative emotions.
But this is precisely the most abnormal.
However, Bai Yue didn't think much of it at that time. Only now have I noticed the usual irrationality.
When talking on the phone, he hesitated, and when meeting, he was lively and outgoing too deliberately. And during this period of time, a person always disappears and disappears, and I don’t know where to go.
Bai Yue: "Sikong Xing..."
Just as he was about to say something, he saw the other party raised his head. His expression remained the same as usual, his brows and eyes stretched.
"Let's go, we have to inform them immediately."
Bai Yue reported the discovery of the Zerg to the superior officer.
Although only one parasitized soldier has been found for the time being, the Zerg has always liked to act in groups. There must be more sneaky bugs lurking behind that person.
The senior officer was shocked when he heard the words, and he immediately reported to the general.
The other party has just accompanied the president to the satellite star today, preparing to present the award to the winner the next day as the presenter. Now resting in the largest central city of the satellite starfish, watching this live broadcast on the screen.
"I see."
The senior officer hung up the phone, his face a little ugly.
Bai Yue had a bad feeling in his heart. The next second, I heard the officer say: "The admiral ordered to continue the game."
Sikong Xing seemed not to be surprised by this result, shrugged his shoulders, and walked towards the door.
At this time, Shang Yufei and Mu Sihan had also converged. Hearing this, he frowned in unison.
"Did you make a mistake?" Shang Yufei sneered, "Do you want to live stream us all over the Internet and be eaten by bugs?"
The officer put his palms together on the table: "Admiral believes in you, meaning that the game is temporarily suspended, and foreign troubles are given priority. But..."
Bai Yue understood: "Don't the people in the federation believe it?"
The officer nodded.
After all, from the very beginning, the people here were dubious about the Zerg incident. Now that I haven't seen the evidence with my own eyes, I thought they were trying to screw up the event on purpose.
"The President of the Federation also meant to evacuate first."
The officer said, "But the representative country does not agree. They said that even if it is true, it has to wait until the end of the game to deal with it, otherwise it will cause panic."
Bai Yue had heard from the admiral earlier that the federation had actually been split into two major factions. Although the president is the nominal leader, his power is relatively weak, and the greater right to speak is in the hands of representatives of powerful countries.
These people do not agree to suspend the game, no matter what the president says.
Officer: "Suddenly interrupting the game will indeed cause a certain amount of confusion. Let's get through today's live broadcast first, during which the Admiral will try to persuade the representative country. Try to complete the evacuation by tonight."
The above judgment has been made, and even if there are still doubts, there is nothing more to say.
At the same time, this incident has also been known to other contestants, making them more vigilant. But you must participate in the competition as usual, and you must not let the spectators find anomalies. Secretly, the military will send teams to investigate.
After learning of this, the Imperial soldiers all looked solemn. If only until now, they were still excited to win the preliminary round. Now he has completely lost his mind.
The next rematch will be a show, which will be played without the audience knowing.
Federal soldiers reacted in the exact opposite direction. They were only shocked for a moment, and then they showed mocking expressions.
"Zerg? There are wild fields everywhere. You shouldn't be overreacting, thinking of ordinary bugs as that thing."
Then there was a sneering laugh.
"Even if it really comes, what's so scary about this thing. I will trample it to death with one foot."
So far, Zerg has only appeared in fantasy works, and no one cares about it. Joke at each other.
Bai Yue looked at them quietly, waited for these people to finish laughing, and then said, "Before you step on them, they will tear open your skin, get into your brain, and control your consciousness."
"That's what you said," someone said, "as if you've seen it before."
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it."
Bai Yue closed his eyes, "I just hope that you won't drag the imperial soldiers back."
Hearing this, the faces of the federal soldiers became ugly.
Only then did they realize that, except for themselves, all the imperial soldiers looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. Almost more serious than when I was competing.
"Really, no joke."
Some of the federal soldiers muttered.
Hearing this, Bai Yue's mind flashed again the tragedy of the Queen's Military Region that night.
The quiet night, the black bugs like a tide, and the endless gunshots. Humans are used as nutrients and skins, and blood splatters and bleeds all over the floor.
The air was filled with the smell of iron that was almost solidified.
Bai Yue's mouth twitched slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "This is not the time to joke."
Honestly, in his opinion, it's better to stop the game now. The satellite starfish is vast and sparsely populated, but civilians still live there.
In the worst case, the civilians may be evacuated immediately. Go to another planet.
As soldiers, they naturally want to protect the safety of the people. But it does not mean that sacrifices should be made in vain.
The moment a crisis is discovered, it should be dealt with immediately. Find out the Zerg hiding among ordinary people, transport supplies and ammunition from other places, and find the Zerg lair.
Not the time to continue the game at all.
And these people have a condescending attitude.
At this moment, the imperial soldiers and the federal soldiers faced each other, and the confrontation was even more obvious. It's like an invisible gap is drawn in the middle, and we can never understand each other.
A broadcast came from not far away. The rest period is over and the rematch is about to begin.
The members of the Federation dispersed, and the contestants of the Empire had to continue to prepare. The players who participated in the preliminary round did not need to appear this time, and instead went to investigate the Zerg issue.
However, looking at the current attitude of the Federation, it is likely that only the Empire will take serious action.
Not long after, the rematch officially started.
The barrage boiled again. The audience had no idea what was going on at the scene, and their attention was focused on the game. And because the Empire audience got the account, the barrage tearing became more serious.
For a while, the white barrage filled the screen, and the scene on the screen could not be clearly seen.
While the rematch was fierce, other people who did not participate also launched actions.
The only clue now is the federal soldier who was knocked out by Mu Sihan.
Since they were from the Federation, a few people were also sent to investigate together. The soldier was lying flat on the wooden hard bed, not waking up. The facial features have returned to normal appearance, and there are no traces of unevenness.
"Is this the Zerg you are talking about?"
The federation members sneered, "Isn't it just a random reason to hurt our people?"
Mu Sihan: "..."
Compared with the people who have been possessed by Zerg in the past, the appearance of this person is indeed not obvious.
Bai Yue rolled the man's eyelids, and found no vision.
However, he did not think that Mu Sihan would be wrong.
Although I haven't seen it so far, there is a possibility that the bug that got into this person's body escaped ahead of time.
Federation member: "There is no evidence at all, how can we trust you?"
"The president even knew about it, but it turned out to be a joke."
Bai Yue withdrew his hand and looked at the man: "If it's a joke, of course it's better."
He smiled, "Can you help gather all the people nearby?"
Federal members were stunned: "Do, what?"
The soldier possessed by the Zerg may not be the only one. Although there is no vision in this person for the time being, other people are not necessarily.
Bai Yue said: "Find the evidence you want."
The rematch has entered a big climax.
Perhaps it was because of the defeat in the preliminary round, the federation members' riveting offense actually gained the upper hand.
The imperial soldiers have always been concerned about the Zerg, and their minds are not on the game.
This round, it seems that the Federation is going to win.
【Ooh, you can! Federation rush! 】
The Federation, which was still in the "civil war", now sees the dawn of victory and unites again.
Imperial audiences are no less so.
【Not good! You can get up later! 】
[Come on, Empire! 】
The members of the Commonwealth were in high spirits. Although they saw that the opponent was not in the state and probably guessed the reason, they did not show mercy.
Zerg
This kind of kid's trick. Even if he really appeared in the empire last time, how could he appear so quickly again. It also takes time to keep a low profile.
The members of the Federation thought quietly.
They had brought together the scattered Imperial soldiers, and they could be crushed in no time at all.
The victory of this competition will belong to their federation after all!
Everyone jumped up and attacked the remaining few people together.
The Imperial soldiers were back to back, watching the attacking enemy.
The rematch may be lost. But at this moment, they no longer care about this kind of thing.
Finish the game as soon as possible, then go and help your teammates deal with the Zerg.
Suddenly, there was a huge bang!
Countless worms burst out from the ground, and the tide generally hit the few people who jumped into the air.
Originally, the federation members wanted to use gravity to fall to increase the strength of this attack. However, he felt that his ankle was entangled by an unknown creature, and he was dragged to the ground fiercely.
Is it from the Empire
This speculation popped into my mind for the first time.
And soon, he noticed something was wrong. The rustling unidentified creature wrapped around his calf and further submerged his lower body.
He looked down, his eyes widened in horror.
It's a bug!
Insects are often found in wild camps, but rarely in such swarms, or even consciously, to attack humans.
He didn't even react, and his body was submerged by the Black Sea.
After a brief shock, the Imperial soldiers quickly shot at the black bugs that spread over.
But these bullets are narcotic ammunition without lethality. Even if they hit the black bug, the opposite side will not hurt or itch.
At the same time, the audience in front of the screen was completely stunned. Even everyone forgot to post the barrage.
They saw the overwhelming number of bugs. Whether it was their own side or the enemy, the bodies of the soldiers were all submerged together, and there was no resistance at all.
Moreover, the tide is still flowing out.
No earth brown, barren grass, thick tree trunks...
After a long time, a barrage finally came out first.
【Fuck. . . 】
【what's going on? 】
【Have the bugs become sperm?】
【What happened to those people! Are they all right? ! 】
Compared with the dumbfounded federal audience, the people of the Empire have a clearer judgment on the status quo.
After all, over the past few months, they have been cautious under the leadership of the imperial government. Even if there are frequent false positives, never let go of a possibility.
[It is the Zerg. . How would it appear here】
[It will be parasitized, don't. . 】
Even if it is separated by a screen, you can clearly feel the dangerous atmosphere of the scene.
The camera lens is suspended in the air. Not only the audience, but even the organizers didn't react to this, and forgot to turn off the live broadcast for a while.
Until someone pushed him out: "Hurry up, hurry up and notify!"
Notification is no longer required.
Whether it is the audience at the scene or thousands of miles away, as long as they pay attention to this game, they will discover the existence of the Zerg without exception.
Don't say you don't want to cause panic. Now, these bugs really appear in front of soldiers and even ordinary people.
Even the Federals, who used to hear the Zerg as a joke, had to believe this painful fact when they saw such a painful scene in front of them.
Bai Yue doesn't even need to look for evidence.
Because the reality is bloody before his eyes.
Before he had time to gather everyone, someone broke into the door and panicked to convey the fact.
Beside them, several fellow federal members were all stunned.
Bai Yue didn't look at them anymore, and left the tent with the team members.
There was a call from the admiral.
After seeing this scene with their own eyes, several members of the representative country of the Federation finally believed in this matter and prepared to evacuate first.
The soldiers stayed behind.
"Bai Yue."
The admiral's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You have the experience of the last time. I hope you can lead everyone this time, and try to delay the time as much as possible."
As a soldier, there is nothing wrong with defending the country.
but…
Bai Yue: "Sir, we have no weapons."
There are only anesthesia guns and cold weapons at the competition site. Although there are spare arms in the barracks, judging from the experience of the last time against the Zerg, it is too rare.
The last battle. Even in such a large military camp in the Queen's Military Region, with sufficient ammunition reserves, they only lasted about three hours - this was still in the case of exterminating the insect hole in advance.
Admiral: "The president has dispatched elite troops and will send arms here."
It takes about two hours to reach the moon starfish from the nearest planet.
In fact, the Empire has already started to research special weapons for Zerg, and has achieved little success. But it takes longer to get here from the empire.
two days. They can't hold on that long.
Admiral: "When I escort the president to the airport, I'll rush to your side. Until then, I'll leave it to you."
This is hardly something that should be said to a cadet.
Even a future reserve soldier is just a student. They shouldn't have asked for that. But now, among the young officers participating in the competition, only these students have the experience of successfully defending against the Zerg.
The general had no choice but to pin his hopes on Bai Yue.
Bai Yue's five fingers pinching the fuselage increased a bit.
"receive."
After a while, he said, "But sir, I hope you can come with your weapons when you come."
Otherwise, it's just death in vain.
For the Zerg, human beings have no distinction between noble and inferior, only strong and weak.
Bai Yue smiled: "If you are also parasitized, we will have more trouble."
The admiral was stunned for a moment, and he recalled what happened to Admiral Sikong.
The order he issued was almost equivalent to letting these young people die, but the other party was still considering his life.
The general seemed to be touched.
As the highest representative of the Imperial team, he had to escort the leader first as usual.
—Even if at this moment, he really wanted to fight with his own soldiers.
Admiral: "Be careful with everything."
Hanging up the phone, Bai Yue looked at his companions around him.
His eyes swept across several people: "Sorry."
"I invited you to come and compete, and this happened."
In such a harsh situation, even death is not surprising.
Lu Shen shook his head: "Senior doesn't need to apologize."
His waist was tall and straight, and he put his hand on his chest. "As a soldier, sooner or later this kind of thing will happen. On the contrary, I am honored to be able to face difficulties together with Senior Bai Yue now."
Mu Sihan looked at Bai Yue, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
"Anytime you order."
Sikong Xing chuckled lightly: "I would like to thank you for letting me over this time."
He turned his head and looked at the rolling black tide not far away. His eyes were deep, "Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to get this opportunity."
The further back the words go, the lower the volume.
Abandoning these words, he raised his feet and walked out.
Sikong Xing really wasn't quite right.
Bai Yue was about to keep up, but was grabbed by someone behind him.
Looking back, he saw that it was Shang Yufei, looking at him with complicated eyes.
"Don't do it again this time..."
After speaking halfway, he suddenly stopped, as if he felt that it was useless to say it. After a moment of silence, he said:
"I will follow you."
