Chapter 43: Insects in Orbit

"Sir! Detected the presence of insect creatures in high-altitude orbits! It's very likely that their hosts are trying to airdrop the sac! ”

One day, the Meinhoff Command Center, which was operating as usual, detected such a signal that was high enough to be classified as the highest alert level, and soon the command center connected to the Governor of the planet, Blue, by means of communication.

"I'll give you the right to send orbital fighters to defeat them!"

Blue wasn't in the command center, he was in the stinking wilderness.

"Yes! Sir! ”

The other side quickly cut off the communication.

"Sir! There are refugees on this side, and you'd better not get involved here, as there are likely to be dangerous elements among them......"

After the communication ended, one of the guards beside Blue said.

They were in a very densely populated refugee camp. Here, due to the seriousness of Blue's work, even if the Empire no longer pays attention to these refugees, Blue still connects these refugee camps on the surface of the planet Meinhof to the most basic water and electricity.

This is always a difficult and great project.

After that, the refugees may move to another habitable planet, or return to the Alien-occupied areas recaptured by the Empire, and the image of Meinhof in the minds of these refugees is probably a place with only water and electricity, but nothing. They recall the days of refugees in Meinhof, and I am afraid that they have only negative impression scores. While the official side of the empire began to use the media to abandon the immigrants, the governor of the planet Blue dared to take in more refugees in disobedience.

Despite the likely unflattering gestures on both sides, Blue insisted on what he had to do.

"I know what you think, soldier." "But there are some things that are far more important than the safety of life," Blue said. ”

Soon, they were in a refugee camp. The metal tin can looked like it was made from parts of the ship, and the small space could accommodate a lot of people.

"Hello, I'm a passerby."

Blue held out his hand to one of the refugees, who hesitated for a moment, his lifeless eyes began to light up, and he held out his hand to Blue.

"Hello, sir."

"Sir." Blue spoke first, "I've just walked a long way, I'm a little thirsty, can I ask for a glass of water from you?" ”

Blue did not let the soldiers follow, but entered alone.

When the man heard this, he sighed slightly. He bent down and poured a little water from a large cup on the ground to entertain Blue. Soon, Blu, who brought the water to his nose, asked about the pungent taste of the water and the burning sensation of the water on his nose.

Water contains not only chemicals that may be harmful to humans, but also radioactive substances.

"It's... Water taken out of the drinking pump? ”

"Yes. You have to get it from a very distant place to have such a clean water source. ”

Bruce, who had been directing the establishment of the refugee camps in the command center, found that the idea of providing water and electricity in every refugee camp was wrong, and that many of his orders had not been given in placeβ€”β€”β€”β€” and it was even possible that the water supply system built at a large cost had been hollowed out by some moths under his hands.

"These waters..... Do you have the means to filter? You can't just drink it, can you? There's a lot of stuff in there. ”

"Yes, the Meinhof government sells refugees a very good filter, but it's expensive. So I chose homemade. ”

Saying this, the refugee pulled out a rudimentary filter.

Blue suddenly felt a little dry in his throat.

"Can you tell me how much the government sells the filter?" He finally asked.

"Fifty thousand."

Blue gasped.

Fifty thousand is a lot of money, and of course, it's almost half a month's salary. As the governor of the planet, he is undoubtedly the top part of the salary, but it costs him half a month's salary to buy such a filter, so what about the refugees who have no income? If you have money, you can buy it, but if you don't have money, you can only make a rudimentary, possibly substandard filter, or even use your own body's liver to filter these toxins.

Feeling heavier, Blue lied that he had recovered, and left the camp as if he had fled.

The soldiers' worried eyes were on the Governor of the planet, fearing for his life.

The loyal soldier gave him a little hope, even though his heart was weighed heavy by the refugee story.

"Come on, we still have a long way to go."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Report to the Commander, we are close to the predetermined position, the insect host has been discovered, and the attack command is requested."

High in Mayinhoff's orbit, several massive creatures were slowly using their psionic energy to change their position relative to the planet, but the human warplanes were too fast to get to their host's desired predetermined location.

"Attack!"

The space station high up in the Meinhoff orbit ordered that the space station, which could only accommodate a handful of starfighters, housed a small command center.

"Yes! Commander. ”

Outside the fuselage of the old ghost fighter, the fuselage immediately twisted more than ninety degrees, and rushed straight after the host who passed by. Sensing the hostility, the host quickly dropped the airdrop bag that had been hidden in its belly for a long time towards the ground, and soon, with one by one, the airdrop bag rushed towards the ground. The old Ghost launched an old anti-ship missile, which hit the massive host with a slow and erratic flight trajectory.

These old Phantom fighters are just too old, almost older than the pilots sitting on them. And the missiles hanging from their wings are the same ageβ€”β€”β€”β€” it's amazing how lethal the missiles that have passed their shelf life, and if each one of them is like that, it's not bad.

Of course, because these ghost fighters and their ammunition are very old, the local government of Meinhof, which is not wealthy, can buy a few to fill the faΓ§ade.

Soon, the first missile hit the creature and sent out a huge explosion. This shows the insects who can only use claws and acid that even very old human weapons can be extremely lethal to the insects.

The anti-ship missile successfully slashed off a heavy carapace of the host, and the Meinhoff pilots, who did not know that the anti-ship missile had been developed to the point where it should be one by one, cheered.

The Ghost Fighter launched another anti-ship missile, and the powerful but inaccurate missile that had lost accuracy due to the passage of time hit the host again.
