Liu Xiaozhuang took Zhang Yuan into the New Blue Castle Space City.

The group descended from the spaceport and entered the city of Blue Castle via a high-speed rail car. After arriving in the city, artificial gravity took effect, and Zhang Yuan felt heavy under his feet and had a down-to-earth feeling.

He turned his head to look around, and found that the scene around him was exactly the same as that of ordinary city blocks, with people coming and going on the main streets, countless hovering cars flowing in the sky at a height of hundreds of meters, and then looking up, there were huge alloy steel frames, which extended in all directions, and from a distance, it seemed as if there were layers of spider webs in the sky.

The steel frame is very thick, and it depends on them to stabilize the space city. Some of the steel frames are hollow steel pipes, and from time to time there are high-speed trains flashing by.

Looking far away, Zhang Yuan can vaguely see the image of countless buildings at the highest point, including blocks and endless traffic, which looks like a reflection of the ground.

The reason for this anomaly is that the blocks of the Space City are built on the surface of this spherical Space City, so as long as you find a location with a good view and take a high-powered telescope, you can see the entire Space City in full view.

After walking for a while, Zhang Yuan discovered something strange.

He found that most of the pedestrians' clothes were half-used and not new, and many of them were even visibly damaged, and dirt was not uncommon. Looking at the faces of these pedestrians, they are yellowish and sad, and everyone comes and goes in a hurry, without any leisure. Looking at the hovercars in the sky, it seems to be endless, but most of them are actually public transport vehicles, and there are quite few real private hovercars, even if they pass by a few occasionally, they are all low-end models.

Such a mental state and material level reminded Zhang Yuan of the original Dalimon, which was completely incomparable to Bishui City, let alone compared to the Golden Heaven Domain, or the Earth Federation.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Yuan asked Liu Xiaozhuang, who was leading the way in front: "Soldier, near the New Blue Castle is a vast meteorite belt, with a star field of up to 150 light minutes, there are rare mines all over the place, and you can get a lot of harvest by mining just one, why are the residents here so poor?" ”

Liu Xiaozhuang paused, turned around, and looked at Zhang Yuan with a peculiar look: "Captain, you don't know?" ”

"Tell me?" Zhang Yuan has been dealing with big names recently, and he spends all his free time studying the new rhodium magnetic engine, and he really hasn't carefully understood the living conditions of ordinary people in the Crimson Empire.

Liu Xiaozhuang shrugged his shoulders, turned around and continued to walk forward, he muttered softly: "You have become the captain of the ship, and you are still so ignorant." ”

When he said this, the eyes of the other soldiers who had traveled all the way became strange when they looked at Zhang Yuan, and the respect on their faces was much less, and there was more indescribable contempt.

"Isn't it the nobles who hurt it?" One of the warriors whispered.

"How?" Zhang Yuan asked again.

Liu Xiaozhuang sneered and said: "Around the New Blue Castle is a huge nebula formed after the explosion of an ancient supernova, and the dense solid meteorite belt in it has a range of more than 180 light minutes, not 150 light minutes as you said. There is indeed an abundance of wealth in it. But what's the use of that? Every year, the rare ore mined by the miners at the risk of their lives can only be exchanged for the most basic daily necessities, and the rest goes into the pocket of the city lord! ”

"Risking your life? I know there's starry beasts in space, but aren't there still city guards? Starry Sky Beast rebellion, it shouldn't be so frequent, right? Zhang Yuan asked again.

"Huh~ City Guard?" Liu Dazhuang patted a small energy gun pinned to his belt: "You see, I am the defense officer, the head of the military attache of the new Blue Castle, and this is my standard individual weapon, the huge space city, and there is not a single battleship, if there is any accident, we can only pilot our own modified armed spaceship." Now the ships are gone, robbed by the damned occupiers. Captain, you said, with such a toy, how can you deal with the starry sky beast? ”

After speaking, he may have felt that his disdain was too obvious, and explained: "Of course, I'm not speaking ill of the city lord, in fact, the city lord is a good man, and he can't help it." Most of the ore he collected at a low price had to be handed over to the Governor in exchange for a small profit, and the Governor had to hand over most of the ore to the Empire. So, the most hateful thing is still the imperial royal family! They're a bunch of insatiable vampires! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he realized.

After that, the team became very silent, the group did not speak, silently walked forward, about 5 minutes away, a school appeared in front of it, in front of the school gate pulled a bright yellow warning light belt, and from the school, there was a strong smell of blood.

Liu Xiaozhuang pointed to the school and said: "New Blue Fort No. 9 Middle School, before the accident, there were more than 4,000 students, and after the accident, more than 2,000 died, and there were corpses inside. Captain, are you sure you want to check it out? ”

Originally, he wouldn't have asked that, but along the way, the young captain asked a lot of childish questions, and he felt that this should be a young boy who had never seen the world, and the situation in the school was too bloody, and he was afraid that he would frighten this innocent and innocent guy.

"Of course I have to see it." Zhang Yuan crossed the warning light belt first.

Liu Xiaozhuang and the others hurriedly walked a few steps to follow. Liu Xiaozhuang even ran in front of Zhang Yuan: "Captain, slow down, I'll lead the way." ”

He walked briskly in front of Zhang Yuan: "The first person to be occupied was a female student, just 17 years old, and she behaved normally after being occupied. On the morning of the fourth day, the school had a regular morning meeting, and more than 4,000 students gathered together. She went to the toilet alone because of a stomachache, and in the toilet cubicle, she went crazy...... Well, it's the toilet. ”

Liu Dazhuang walked a few steps quickly and blocked the entrance of the toilet: "Captain, because you want to keep the first scene, the situation inside has not been cleaned up, it looks really miserable, are you sure you want to see it?" ”

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Open it." ”

"Squeak~" The simple wooden door opened, and a pungent smell rushed over, with the smell of blood, rot, and toilet disinfectant.

Zhang Yuan held his breath and walked in, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a large pool of black blood on the toilet floor, a lot of blood had accumulated, and it was not completely dry, and he could vaguely see some minced meat mixed with the blood.

The girl's posture is extremely weird, her clothes are basically torn, the bones of her whole body seem to be broken, her body is twisted to an angle that is completely impossible for the human body to reach, her skin is bruised, there are many damages, and there are bone stubble poking out inside. Xu was in pain, the girl's mouth was opened to the extreme, and the corners of her mouth and eyes were completely cracked...... All kinds of tragic circumstances are enough to explain the suffering that this girl endured before her death.

Zhang Yuanmian observed without changing his face, after seeing the girl's situation, he observed the other situations in the toilet, in order not to let go of any clues, he activated the eye of insight, energy, force field, matter, everything was hidden in front of him.

After looking at it for a while, he walked to the wall of the toilet, stretched out his hand and groped carefully, and after looking at it for about 5 seconds, he thought thoughtfully, pondered for a few seconds, he walked to the toilet window, and came out of the window: "Keep up." ”

Liu Xiaozhuang originally thought that Zhang Yuan would be startled, but he didn't expect him to react at all, he swallowed his saliva: "This guy is bold." ”

He waved his hand to the soldier behind him, and several people circled around the toilet and followed Zhang Yuan all the way forward

Zhang Yuan walked more than 30 meters in the school, made a roundabout, and a large playground appeared in front of him.

The situation in the playground was even more terrifying, with at least 300 corpses lying on the ground, including students and teachers, all in horrible conditions.

Liu Xiaozhuang explained: "This is the second batch to be occupied. The girl unleashes at least 200 wild ghost hatchlings, which rush to the playground and take over their bodies. After occupying it, these people were unaware at first, and the entire playground was not abnormal. But after 15 minutes, the second group of occupants went crazy. More than 200 people began to attack the surrounding students in a frenzy, and then died, releasing more larvae and infecting more people...... At this point, the city-wide alarm was sounded, and the mayor released an electromagnetic pulse, which was then released every 20 seconds, controlling the spread of the ghost. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't speak, he walked around the playground, and finally returned to Liu Xiaozhuang: "At the beginning, you told me that more than 3,000 occupiers escaped from the New Blue Fort and hid in the planetary belt, right?" ”

"That's right." Liu Xiaozhuang nodded: "They are still there, with our radio detectors, we can still roughly determine their location, is there a problem?" ”

Zhang Yuan raised his head and looked at the entire New Blue Castle City: "There are 200 occupants in the second batch, and everyone goes crazy and dies, then release at least 40,000 ghost hatchlings." In terms of the speed of the ghost hatchlings, the third group should be occupied in the first place, that is, 40,000 people are occupied. So, apart from the 3,000 who fled, what about the other 37,000? Did you find it? ”

Liu Xiaozhuang nodded: "I've found it, in fact, we've been looking for it." In order to prevent more people from being harmed, the castle lord will activate a high-energy electromagnetic pulse every 30 seconds. The only problem now is that if these occupied, if they don't go crazy, they don't look any different from ordinary people, it's difficult to investigate, and we don't have enough manpower, so we only find more than 100 at the moment. ”

Zhang Yuan continued to analyze: "So that means that there are more than 30,000 unidentified occupants in the city, and many of them may even be in important positions? ”

"You're right." Liu Xiaozhuang nodded.

Zhang Yuan was silent, and suddenly asked again: "After the incident, how long was the interval between the danger alarm and the electromagnetic pulse?" ”

"10 minutes."

"So long? Why? Zhang Yuan asked again.

"Because the lord of the city was having a banquet that day, and it will take some time to identify the mad ghost. You know, the electromagnetic pulse hurts the enemy and hurts yourself, and you can't use it lightly. ”

"No, no, no, I'm afraid it's not that simple." Zhang Yuan pondered, and suddenly asked, "Can you get the surveillance video of the City Lord's Mansion?" ”

"Of course not...... No, I mean, of course you have that permission, but in New Blue Castle, no one has the right to monitor the City Lord's Mansion, so there's no footage either...... It's not like Blue Water City, and there are many places in New Blue Castle that don't have images. Maintaining full-time surveillance costs a lot of money, and we can't afford it. ”

Liu Xiaozhuang's face was helpless.

Zhang Yuan didn't expect to be so poor, without surveillance images, things are really not easy to do.

These more than 30,000 people lurking in the New Blue Castle society are simply a super time bomb, once there is no binding of electromagnetic pulse, the New Blue Castle can fall in an instant.

Just as Zhang Yuan was thinking about countermeasures, an alarm suddenly sounded from his military watch: "Attention! Note! A target has been discovered to be invading the main control brain of the Trailblazer! ”

Luo Hua's voice sounded very urgent: "Alarm, the attack is very fierce!" Alert! Alert! ”
