The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1958. The fog gradually opens (Part 2)

"Oh... Look how sad you are crying. It seems that you know her?" A female Xilu infected person suddenly spoke, her voice was very hoarse and dull, not like the sound coming from the vocal cords, more like some kind of air bag.

"You devil!! I'm going to kill you!!!" Several Xilu survivors on the city wall were extremely angry. They picked up their weapons, but still did not pull the trigger.

"Haha... hurry up and shoot? Kill your daughter, kill your wife... In this way, the hatred in your heart will be alleviated, right?" The Xilu infected person sneered.

Then it took a step forward and suddenly ripped off one of its hands! Then he turned it over, and some brown sludge suddenly flowed out from the broken part of the arm!

"Look...I have eaten all of your daughter's body. It's hard for me to comment on the taste, but I can only say that for a Xilu person, this is a slow and painful process." As the Xilu infected person spoke, he lowered his head, bit off a finger from the torn off arm, and then ate it!

"No!!!!" The Xilu survivors on the city wall let out a painful and angry scream. They finally fired again, and the dense bullets immediately tore all the infected people into pieces!

Such a tragic scene made Shepard feel angry, but she still remained calm. She turned to Ashley Williams and said, "Did you see it? What is Mongar Mongar doing?"

"It's toying with these people, it's causing their anger and sadness... It clearly has the ability to kill all those who resist, but it chooses to torture them slowly..." Ashley Williams said.

Sen Luo looked at this scene and said coldly: "For it, torturing these people is more important than eating them."

"Mongal-Mongal... is an intelligent creature! It is not a monster that relies on instinct to act!" Shepard said, "This shows that its purpose of entering the civilized world is to invade, not to eat or reproduce."

"Does it make a difference?" Ashley Williams asked.

"The biggest difference is that...intelligent creatures have homes." Shepard's eyes were sharp, "So, where is Mongar-Menggar's home?"

"Find its home and destroy it so that we can be completely safe." Sen Luo said.

At this time, the communication was connected, and the voice of another ghost agent, Death, came, "I am already in place. This is an arena, filled with Xilu people. They always maintain a sitting posture, there is nothing Act until the body rots away.”

"As we discovered, Mongar Mongar infected these people out of purpose rather than instinct." Shepard said, "Is the plan ready?"

"Get ready, high-explosive bombs, plus a holographic light and shadow show." Death said.

"What's the distance?" Sen Luo asked from the side.

"It is 150 kilometers away from you in a straight line. I can confirm that even if a nuclear bomb is detonated here, you will not know it." The God of Death said.

"Let's start!" Shepard nodded.

150 kilometers away, the invisible ghost agent pressed the button.

boom! ! ! ! An extremely violent explosion suddenly exploded from a corner of the arena, and countless Xilu infected people flew into the sky along with countless rubbles! Not only that, the high-power holographic projection projected countless figures, creating an image of an army pressing into the situation and countless robots starting to attack!

At the same time, on Shepard's side, the Mongar-Mongar infected who were torturing the survivors suddenly stopped and all turned back to look in the direction of the explosion!

Then, they began to retreat slowly and in an organized manner.

"This is an individual. At least on this planet," Shepard said.

"Gestalt consciousness?" Ashley Williams frowned.

"I don't know, I always feel that something is not quite right... Anyway, call the fleet. Before the fleet comes, let's communicate with this group of survivors." Shepard came out of his hiding place and turned on the cloaking device. Under the cover of the enemy, he ran towards the group of grief-stricken survivors.

The group of survivors had completely fallen into despair. When a human appeared in front of them, apart from their initial panic, after Shepard explained his purpose, they also calmly accepted that this civilization was at war with them. race.

During the communication with them, Shepard also learned many things. First of all, the way this Mongal-Mongal behaves is indeed very purposeful. Most of the time, it will use those infected as carriers to act. Although they themselves have certain mobility capabilities, it is still inconvenient.

Secondly, Mongar-Mongar are fond of slowly killing their targets, enjoying their target's despair and pain in the process. But one thing is that those survivors believe that Mongar-Mongar cannot gain the memories of the people they eat. Mongar - Mongar will use the bodies of their relatives and friends to torture their will, but in those conversations, the other party does not know anything about the deceased.

In addition, those infected can drive, use weapons, and even fly spaceships. But these abilities are all learned by Mongar-Menggar himself, not through the memory of the infected.

As for the origin of Mongal-Menggal, these people can only give some guesses.

They only knew that before, Admiral Lepic's main fleet was stationed on the planet called Kruda, but a few months later they had to bite the bullet and dispatch all their troops to attack Levick due to supply problems. The planet launches a general attack.

But the strange thing is that after the main fleet left, this squadron came to the planet Kruda. After that, the Mongal-Mongal infection began to appear in some places, and it spread very quickly, almost occupying the entire planet in less than a month.

As for the method of infecting the entire planet, these survivors believe it may be through a spacecraft. Because the squadron took off fighter jets and transport ships to the ground very frequently in the first few days after arriving on the planet Kruda, but after the complete outbreak of Mongar-Mongar, they rarely took off.

There are only four very large cities on the planet Kruda, as well as some surrounding small towns. This relatively concentrated layout also gives Mongar-Mongar the soil for the rapid spread.

"Now it can actually be inferred that Mongar Mongar came here with this squadron. But the question is... who infected the squadron?" Ashley Williams pondered.

"There is only one way..." Shepard said, "Board on their battleship and search the logbook!"
