Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 224 Value

World of Tark 925, the capital.

A thick, gloomy red cloud enveloped nearly one-fifth of the city, and the closer to the opening of the gate of hell, the lower the red cloud.

In the violent storm, scarlet lightning fell all over the city, but they turned a blind eye to the tens of thousands of bat-winged demons walking through the clouds.

And even the roar of thunder could not suppress the screams in the city.Tens of thousands of demons have turned the village into a large slaughterhouse.

In the central area where the demon erupted, a red cloud covered the street less than a hundred meters away.

A team of policemen in heavy armor, and a "Protector" bipedal omnic that is nearly three meters high and can drop its hands to the ground.There is a fierce exchange of fire with the devil.

If high-standard streets are established in fortress cities or the government, they can still use the terrain to fight street battles.

But not here.Even if this is the political and economic center of the world, it is not necessary to use soul tempering technology and masking technology when building residential houses.

The houses here do not have the slightest shielding effect, and the concrete, which is fragile to life, cannot serve as a shelter.

All they can rely on, apart from the armor on their bodies, is an armed patrol car that has been burned by the magic flame.

"Assault Squad No. 171, the assault on the gate of hell has failed." The chief sheriff reported upwards, and while speaking, he pulled the trigger and shot dead the two winged demons that swooped down.

"We will try our best to attract the attention of the demons in the block, and ask other teams to find opportunities to rush in."

"Okay!" Another police officer said.

He successfully installed the repeating ballista on the patrol car on the shoulder of the "Protector", which was powered by the magic pool of the omnic.

The shape of the ballista is quite classical, but like the bolt crossbow, it is powered by magic instead of animal tendons.

In the burst of explosive bolts, the demons on the ground fell in rows.

The vast majority of demons can't use magic fire to build a shield, and every recorded soul blaster can blast a huge hole in the demon's body.

At this time, there were few deaths.

The population density of the imperial city is an excellent supply station for the devil.

They can easily heal themselves and replenish their shields with fresh souls...

The only luck is that, as stenciled warriors, their souls are monotonous and lack "emotional elements" to demons.For high-level demons, provoking them is not as good as driving ordinary people crazy through torture and hypnosis.Such a soul somehow has some flavor.

What they faced was just a group of low-level demons.

But even so, the circle of demons is gradually tightening.

The space equipment ensures that they will not be short of ammunition for the time being, but as more and more demons are alarmed, they will fall into the successive attacks sooner or later...

…………

At this time, the administrative office entered an emergency operation.

But because too many officials were detained, it was still a little stagnant.

Due to the invasion of demons, the temporarily elected acting governor frowned deeply: "Have the troops arrived yet?"

As the acting governor spoke, he glanced at the judge beside him: If it wasn't for the big review, how could the army's response be so slow?

"No, we suspect that the one maintaining the cloud is a lord-level demon, and all the carrier planes and missiles that entered it disappeared." A man in military uniform said.

"Then let the ground troops move faster, and it must not continue!"

As the population of the city dies more and more, the spirits controlled by demons further distort reality, and the gates of hell will become more and more stable.

The acting governor decisively ordered: "Let the navy better prepare, calculate the explosion range, and use soul bombs to blow up the clouds if necessary."

Someone reported: "Governor, the technician from the Hall of Truth is connected."

"Come here."

Not far from the acting governor, a holographic image that was almost entirely replaced by mechanical prosthetics appeared.

"Master, how is the research status of the devil's blood contamination plague?"

"I have no clue. This plague obviously has an extremely long incubation period. Even the earliest infected bodies that can be found have undergone dozens of cross-infections, and there is nowhere to trace the source." The technician bluntly said his failure.

But he turned and said: "However, we found information about the plague from the monitoring of the ring communication. This plague was not caused by demons."

"Not a devil?" The acting governor was taken aback.

"Yes," the technician's tone was as calm as water, "this is a large-scale plague called the natural plague of insect swarms. It is slightly less dangerous than the plague of undead, but it is as contagious as it gets."

"How is the infection situation for soldiers?" The acting governor asked directly, and this is the most critical question at this stage.

According to the prediction of the Administration Office, at least [-]% of the city's population has been polluted by blood vessels. It is too late to study the treatment plan now.

"The symptoms of 'loyal' people are relatively mild, and the progress of infection is extremely slow, and the 'pure' people can almost guarantee no symptoms."

It is difficult for saints to be infected, not to mention the "Humanity First" stamp, which has a directional blessing for "pure breeds", and can protect one's own gene chain through the form of will distortion.High resistance to the "Zergizing" effect of the Zerg Virus.

"Let all levels of government build shelters as soon as possible and broadcast this message. Let citizens help themselves as much as possible."

"And master, I need you to create immune agents and special drugs against the virus as soon as possible."

"It cannot be manufactured." The technician refused without hesitation.

"what?"

"It's changing faster than we can understand it," the technician asserted. "There is no specific drug that can curb it."

The acting governor frowned, even the undead plague has a special potion...

The technician continued: "According to the search information, all worlds eroded by the pest plague will lose their value."

"What does it mean to lose value?"

"Endless prevention and control and the attack of highly aggressive infected bodies will greatly increase the cost of stationing, even exceeding the opening up of the new world..."

"Cost?" The judge who hadn't spoken all this time suddenly said, "Is it necessary to consider the cost of guarding the emperor's property?"

The technician gave him a cold look: "That's something you should consider. The duty of the Hall of Truth is to provide data and value inferences."

"The truth must also obey the emperor's will!"

"The emperor granted truth immunity to all truth seekers, allowing us to put 'truth' above 'loyalty'. If you want to arrest me, please amend the corresponding regulations in the law first."

It was the acting governor who spoke again: "Master, so your suggestion is..."

"Fortification construction." The technician said, "Be prepared for a long-term battle."

"Fortification?" The governor asked in surprise, "I thought you would suggest that we evacuate."

The technician shook his head: "The plague is more dangerous than you imagined. The 'pure' stamp can only prevent the plague from interfering with the blood. It is still a carrier of the virus, and the virus will infect the human body's flora and live in close symbiosis with the host. Become part of the host's body, difficult to remove."

The governor's face changed: "That is to say..."

"The vast majority of people have become the infectious agents of the plague, and there is a high probability that you are also included."

The voice fell, and the command room fell into a deathly silence.

"I have already reported to the court." The judge was the first to speak, "We will block all trans-world routes and track the ships that have stopped here."

As he said that, the judge glanced at everyone with the eyes of a prisoner: "For the sake of the empire, you must be imprisoned..."

boom--

A big hand suddenly appeared, and the judge was smashed on the table with his head down. It was so strong that his face was embedded in the soul tempered iron table.

"Happily—" the acting governor breathed a sigh of relief, and simply announced, "Release all the detainees, and the big review is over."

After all, he tore off the medal representing the governor and threw it aside.

However, he did not veto the judge's decision to block the route, nor did he have the idea of ​​evacuating. Instead, he smiled grimly: "Everyone, from now on, the only way we can serve the emperor is to die in battle."

In the command room, no one showed any signs of timidity...
