"Sir, I've heard from Stettman that about sixty percent of the seemingly healthy settlers on the Haven Settlement site have been infected." Six hours after Zhao Yi left, Matt found Jim Reynolds, the Supreme Commander of the Rangers.

Sixty percent of people are infected? That's a lot of numbers. Under the base of hundreds of thousands, sixty percent means more than 100,000 alienated combat units.

"But we haven't found any alienated combatants on our sensors that need to be dealt with." Jim Reynaud said, and in an instant he was ready to command his troops again.

His troops are strangling alien units in an orderly manner in all corners of the planet, and the alienated combat bodies that have become mutant creatures are also within the scope of strangulation. And under Matt's report, I don't know when, those immigrants who seem to live in healthy migrants will burrow out of the abominable monsters.

That would be a threat to the really healthy, and it would also be a threat to the Rangers.

Disturbingly, they don't know when they need to turn their guns on civilians that they had to protect not so long ago.

"Yes. Statechman found that the swarm viruses that mutaize civilians into alienated combatants seem to have some kind of limit, and they seem to attack only under the orders of a certain being, and then turn civilians into alienated combatants in a short period of time. ”

Jim's scalp tingled instantly.

"It's a precarious ticking time bomb. Matt, any suggestions? ”

Bah! What advice can Matt have? Dealing with completely incapable alien viruses is either deciphered or purified by flames. Deciphering the fact that it competes with the insects in biotechnology is undoubtedly stupid, and it is unlikely that it will be purified by the flames - after all, not long ago, in order to prevent Haven's migration from being purified by the Star Spirit, he also fought with the Star Spirit, a group of former comrades.

"I propose to keep our troops away from the settlements. Avoid being attacked by alienated combatants in the first place. Matt said solemnly, "Or take our troops into the depths of the settlement." Let our troops stop the sudden outbreak of infection as soon as possible. ”

A serious suggestion is a fart, and Jim flicks a lump of eyes at the captain.

"I can only hope for Zhao Yi, if he catches the worm mother, then he can solve the source of infection once and for all."

The two were silent for a moment.

Battles on Haven are slowly decreasing. Because the number of alien insect units scattered around the planet is constantly decreasing.

"Matt, what's Dr. Hansen's side saying?"

Matt, of course, knew what Jim Reynaud was thinking, and he said, "When I asked Dr. Hansen about Staitman's data, Dr. Hansen rejected Stettman's data. While insisting that her people are healthy, she questions Stetman's biological attainments. ”

"She was afraid that the Rangers would do it to her people." Jim said.

Dr. Hansen was a great lover of her people. During his stay at Haven, Dr. Hansen devoted himself to the medical skills of the Hyperion and the biotechnology of Stettman. With her help, Stettman's knowledge and abilities are as good as Dr. Hansen's. And Dr. Hansen denies that Staettman's data confirms her lack of heart.

She may know more about the Haven people in the infection, and she may know more about the inside story - but with her protocracy she is confident in her ability to heal her people, as she promised Jim under the threat of the astral spirits.

A huge sense of powerlessness came over Jim, and after countless efforts, he actually changed this result - but Jim would not be defeated by such a little powerlessness.

An even greater sense of powerlessness played out four years ago, when he didn't fall, and now it's even more impossible.

Jim perked up.

"Alright, Matt. Recall our troops and have them rally near the base. ”

At Jim's orders, the Rangers abandoned their encirclement of the extinct Alien and assembled near the command center, awaiting the next order.

At this time, a king worm approached Haven from the other side of the planet. Its whole body emitted a terrifying purple light, and the spiritual energy in its body was constantly circulating.

Soon, a global psionic wave was launched by the King Worm.

"Sir, I noticed abnormal psionic fluctuations. Intercepted from a king worm. Matt said. And Jim looked at the command panel, ready for battle.

The five minutes after the psionic fluctuations cover the globe.

"Sir, there's a lot of alien biological signals on Dr. Hansen's migration site."

Sure enough, infections occurred one after another. If the infection is not contained at the source, it will never end.

The Rangers' evacuation of the Rangers has just given the Alienated Combat Body the ability to expand rapidly, and it also protects the Rangers themselves.

"Matt, Wiring Dr. Hansen. I'm going to talk to her. Jim said, and the sudden explosion of the alienated combat body made Jim very stressed. Only the purification of the flames could solve all of this, and Jim wanted to know where Dr. Hansen stands. Soon, Matt connected with Dr. Hansen.

"Doctor, the Hyperion's sensors have detected your ..... on the ground of your emigration."

"Nope! Commander! Dr. Hansen interrupted Jim Reynolds: "My people are healthy and don't have to worry. ”

Communication was disconnected.

Jim was stunned for a long time.

Jim had always known Dr. Hansen's love for her people, a love that knew no bounds. Jim always thought that she would be able to take selfless risks for the Haven people, and she would finally be able to lead the Haven people down and live a life in paradise. It's just that I didn't expect that it was this love that made Dr. Hansen unable to see the evolution of the situation.

The infection was irreversibly serious in an instant, and with this sheer number of alienated combatants could easily shred up healthy civilians, and the Rangers with transport planes could naturally leave Haven and let the Hyperion strike large swaths of alienated combatants with orbital strikes. But Jim didn't want to do that.

After all this effort, hardships and tribulations, it was hard for Jim to accept that nothing had been saved.

"Matt! We need to do everything we can to save some healthy people. Jim said to Matt Horner, and he immediately opened the connection with Statechman, and soon, a man with a sickly fair complexion appeared in front of Jim.

"Stettman. We need to do our best to save some healthy people. Is there any way to tell if a person is infected? ”
