Chapter 444: The Scheming of a Smart Man
Just listen to a muffled "buzz".
The holographic projection equipment in front of the desk is turned on, interweaving surveillance images in mid-air.
Whether it was in the corridor, in front of the platform, or in the barracks, all the soldiers who were supposed to do their duty and stick to their posts fell to the ground, most of them were already unconscious, and the few who were still moving had lost their ability to fight, just lying on the ground and groaning in pain.
"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Eisenhower was completely stunned.
After about five breaths, the office door opened, and a pale-faced staff officer walked up to Eisenhower and said in shock: "No, Lord Earl...... No...... Oh no, Shi...... Soldier ......"
"Don't worry, speak slowly, what's wrong with the soldiers?"
The staff officer took a deep breath, let go of his clenched hands, and finally stabilized his excitement: "The soldiers seem to have been infected with some kind of powerful germ, and more than 80% of them have lost their mobility. ”
"Powerful germs?" Eisenhower looked at the images in the air, and a drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead and fell on the silver-white desk.
He was puzzled, the quarantine facilities of "Karno" are very complete, how can it be possible to break out of an infectious disease of this scale without warning? What kind of germ can be so vicious?
"Control the center and activate the first-level infectious disease emergency plan!" Eisenhower's distraction did not last long, he knew very well in his heart that if he delayed a little longer, his condition would become more serious, and the most important thing now was to do a good job of isolation and make every effort to curb the spread of infectious diseases.
The communication system is silent, no return, no answer.
Eisenhower and the staff officer looked at each other for a moment, then swiped slightly on the touch screen of his desk, and the projection map suspended in mid-air changed. The situation in the central control room appeared in front of him.
Bright red blood spread on the ground, and the corpses of the staff fell to the ground, and suddenly, the picture flashed, and a masked man appeared in front of the camera, and then raised the "silver knight" in his hand and pulled the trigger.
The fire flickered away. The image turned gray in an instant.
At the same time, in several other cell scenes, a group of masked men stepped over the bodies of fallen soldiers on the railroad tracks and stopped in front of a heavy iron door, and one of them stepped forward and connected a PDA to the security device on the left.
A few minutes later, the heavy steel door slowly opened as the light above the door frame turned from red to green.
Eisenhower's eyes widened, and his body trembled slightly. Cold sweat drops down on the desk.
What's behind the gate? Naturally, it was the immortal who spent 190 billion star coins to get his hands on!
He continued to slide the trackpad, and the surveillance footage changed one after another, and then he despaired, completely despaired, not only in C, but also in Band G, where most of the soldiers were incapacitated.
Fear spread throughout the station, the dock area was in chaos, and various aircraft fled in a frenzy. Even the customs staff were clean.
In the face of such an epidemic, even a single resistance is futile. All one can do is run away – the farther away the better!
"It's over!" Eisenhower slumped on the couch all at once.
He watched as the masked men loaded the Immortals into their carts, watched them carry it away, but there was nothing he could do, and the soldiers who survived were so demoralized that their hands and feet were shaking that they couldn't even put on their power armor. Counting on them to intercept the masked men? Is it possible?
Also, he wondered, why are those masked people immune to the virus?
"Lord Earl, 'Karno' is too dangerous now, evacuate!" said the staff officer.
Eisenhower let out a long sigh. Holding his hands on the desk and supporting his body hard: "That's all I can do now......"
He's not stupid at all, and God knows if those masked men will kill the Immortals after they take them away, and get rid of him by the way.
Ten minutes later, Ambassador Monya, who had already boarded the shuttle, looked at the chaotic "Karno" and frowned tightly, even if those masked people robbed the immortals, where could they be transported?
The Covenant Customs is not a decoration, and it is impossible for them to leave "Babylon" unless......
I don't know what to think, Eisenhower's face turned pale for a moment.
…………
The accident of "Karno" alarmed the space stations belonging to the countries in the high-altitude orbit of "Eibar", and one after another guard fleets appeared in the surrounding void, making a high-level alert posture, because they did not know what was happening, and it was always right to deal with it according to the emergency plan.
The most nervous of them all was Ryder, the ambassador of the Sulu Empire? Peeters, because this middle-aged white man with a bit of a sissy thought of a possibility, what does the "Karno" space station have? Immortals! Does this incident have anything to do with it? If that's the case, wouldn't the transportation plane that Samuel's fool bought for 600 billion be able to happen?
As a result, the Sulu Empire's embassy and consulate garrison fleet was scattered around its own starport, the weapon system was put online, and repeated global broadcasts were made to the nearby area - the "Monnar" space station was under martial law, and any aircraft that dared to enter the territory of the Sulu Empire would be annihilated by the vigilant fleet as an illegal immigrant.
"Eibar" is under global martial law, and those who have escaped from "Karno" can only fly to the "hanging garden" far away to take refuge.
The lights of "Karno" are still on, and the light of "Babylon" in the distance reflects a circle of brilliant light on the curved horizon, illuminating the half of the space station.
The shuttles, cargo ships, and all kinds of work boats fled like frightened fish near the reef under the sea.
One of them, a cargo shuttle bearing the emblem of a Silver Eagle company caught Eisenhower's attention, as it flew out of the harbor in Area C, coinciding with the arrival of the Immortals at the cargo terminal.
Because it is mixed in with the rapid escape of the "flow of people", and more than 80% of the "Karno" garrison has lost its combat capability, and now there are only about 10 frigates around the space station that escaped because they were on patrol missions during the outbreak of the epidemic, and it is impossible for them to lay screening nets.
And the cargo shuttle was extremely high-performance, and it disappeared from everyone's view in a blink of an eye.
"Early Warning Team, I want the course of that cargo shuttle!" Eisenhower roared.
His face trembled slightly from anger, and his expression looked a little strange, like crying and laughing. From the side, it looks like a demon from hell possessing a person.
The immortal who was bought for 190 billion was robbed in this way, and the defense force of the space station was forcibly paralyzed right under his nose, and it was robbed as if it were in a no-man's land.
It's a shame!
This group of masked men came to "Karno" after the "Ankalim" space station, which is really too arrogant.
It seems that they deliberately waited until the auction was over before making such a follow-up, compared to the petty fight in "Ankalim". This time they succeeded, successfully pulling hatred, successfully attracting the attention of all forces, and successfully stirring the nerves of the Mengya Empire!
Although the results of the Silver Eagles' investigation into the "Ankalim" terrorist attack are secretive, as the saying goes, "there is no impermeable wall in the world", and some people who were lucky enough to survive the terrorist attack have witnessed the terrifying abilities of masked people.
Eisenhower's special channel has also gathered some relevant information about the style of these terrorists.
From transforming arms to corpse explosions, to the current plague. The style of the attack had not changed in the slightest, and the soldiers were dressed identically, so he concluded that the masked men who robbed the "Karno" were from the same armed group as the terrorists who attacked the "Ankalim" and provoked the Silver Eagles to discord with the Charles Federation.
You must know that after the "Ankalim" terrorist attack, the Silver Eagle Regiment has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate the origin and identity of this mysterious organization, but it has been nothing, but they have not expected that today they will target the "Karno" again, which can evade the security department of "Babylon" and dare to ignore the deterrence of the Silver Eagle Regiment. Launching terrorist attacks in such an anti-human way.
Even if this group of people is not the lackeys cultivated by the Star Alliance, I am afraid that they are inseparable from some people in the council. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Star Alliance really has nothing to do with this matter, it will not escape the responsibility of failing to protect it.
"Star Alliance...... Hum! ”
Who doesn't covet something as good as an immortal? Which one is not impressed? He didn't believe that the Star Alliance side didn't use their brains, and at the time of the "Somar" auction, the expression of the Star Alliance representative was not positive. Since the establishment of the "Babylon" Special Zone, the Star Alliance has achieved rapid economic development, and its national strength is booming, and there is a great tendency to compete with sovereign states.
Will they slack off against such a background? Will you leave it up to the nations to acquire these two complete Epsilon ruins that are powerful enough to improve the level of human technology? Is it possible?
The Immortal was photographed by Wilmot. Transported to "Karno" for mothballing, Eisenhower contacted the relevant departments of the Monya Empire on the same day, and applied to his superiors for the escort fleet to come to the Tianchao Star Region to respond, once the escort fleet arrived, the immortal would be completely in the imperial bag.
Watching someone else take away a complete Epsilon ruin on their own turf, will those old men of the Covenant Council be willing? The official fleet can't be dispatched to grab it, and the pirates are not the opponent of the escort fleet, so they can only take advantage of the Immortals' still in "Karno".
And the best way is to "borrow a knife to kill", this "knife" is not a bystander, it is naturally the terrorist organization that attacked "Ankalim" before, so as to dissociate itself from the Star Alliance government.
Taking a step back, what if anyone doubts the Covenant? The origin of the terrorist organization is unknown, the whereabouts are a mystery, and all the members are equipped with suicide devices, and they are safe from falling into the hands of the enemy.
"The best skill of these old foxes is to show weakness to the enemy, and then use tricks behind their backs." Eisenhower had a preconceived idea of the Covenant.
He thought that he had a pair of fiery eyes and could see through the white bone essence hidden under the delicate skin of the flower girl, but he didn't know that this was his own cleverness at all.
Of course, Tang Fang wants this effect, but it is only because these people are too smart and always think about the problem very complicated, and at the same time, smart people have always been associated with stubbornness, although sometimes he also makes this mistake.
The Star Alliance government snatched 40 billion star coins from him at once, and even Old Corey is probably implicated because of this, will he swallow his anger? Swallow this bitter fruit? Jokes, that's not like his style.
At the beginning, when he wanted to step into the quagmire of "Babylon" and prepare to fish in troubled waters, he was still more or less ashamed. After all, this is an unseemly conspiracy, but since the Covenant government is the first year of junior high school, then naturally don't blame him for being the fifteenth.
…………
In addition to space-based defense facilities, there are also a large number of warp probes around the "Karno" space station for early warning, and the cargo shuttle suspected of carrying the immortal starts the warp engine nearby, and its flight trajectory is naturally difficult to escape the detection of the probe.
And so. A number of jù was eventually fed back to Eisenhower's battleship, outlining a course on the holographic projection system of the combat command station.
The cargo shuttle did not sail to the "Hanging Garden", nor did it flee to the "Ankalim", "Yagoda" and other administrative space stations, but flew directly to the warp interception net on the edge of "Babylon".
Eisenhower wondered why these terrorists had fled to the edge of "Babylon". If they were really an armed group hired by the Covenant government, wouldn't they be afraid of causing extra trouble to their masters?
"Quick! Inform the Covenant Customs of this information and ask them to stop the cargo shuttle. ”
Eisenhower's expression was calm, and he slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at the "motionless" "Karno" in the starry sky and muttering silently.
He thought of one thing. Will the outbreak of infectious diseases on the "Karno" space station be carried to the "hanging gardens" by those who have fled, and will it cause an epidemic that will affect the "Babylon" star system?
…………
Eisenhower's fears proved to be unfounded, and the highly lethal epidemic that broke out in "Carno" did not spread in "Babylon" because of the movement of people.
The virus seemed to be independent and confined to the "Karno" space station, and its spread stopped after paralyzing the garrison, and the quarantine department's research on the virus was slow and did not produce any real results, because the virus developed very quickly. It can cause death in just a few minutes, when the host is dead. They also lose their activity and quickly dissolve into genetic material very similar to intracellular RNA, not to mention capturing the original diseased strain, and even the mutated strain after the germ invades the human body cannot be extracted, unless it continues to break out and continue to ferment. Otherwise, this is destined to become a "legendary virus".
The epidemic in "Karno" is like a storm, it comes and goes quickly, it takes life and leaves death.
Of course. Eisenhower was in no mood to deal with the aftermath now, he was so irritable and angry that he even slapped the female officer in the face with no eyesight, knocking the young girl to the ground, her eyes full of tears.
One minute ago, the Star Alliance Customs sent a video record, which was taken by a space-based early warning platform on the border defense line.
The whole video is only a short 30 seconds, the first 10 seconds of the picture is the process of a cargo shuttle leaving the virtual space and entering the real universe, the middle 10 seconds is the process of the Star Alliance border defense navy surrounding it, and the last 10 seconds is the process of it disobeying the constraints and starting the warp engine again, and then being hit by the string cannon of the naval warship, and the hull twists a few times into a bubble and disappears.
Finally, there was also a "Babylon" border navy deputy commander Temple? Griffin's letter of apology was to the effect that the Covenant Navy had failed to stop the cargo shuttle, and it was unknown what technology the other side had used to break through the border guards' interception net.
Finally, Temple did not forget to care about the situation of "Karno" and expressed his condolences from the bottom of his heart.
Eisenhower tried to suppress the burning anger in his heart, and the buttons under the sleeve of his right hand were torn off by him, so shameless, so shameless!
He finally knew why the cargo shuttle carrying terrorists and immortals flew to the border area instead of choosing the "hanging garden".
The "Hanging Garden" is full of people and has ears on the partition wall, so what if you show any feet? Besides, if the Immortals are hidden inside "Babylon", the Covenant government is not allowed to assist in the investigation? Can't the whole city mobilize to help hunt down the murderer?
But if you flee to the border line and leave "Babylon" under the cover of the Star Covenant navy, wouldn't you just be a fish into the sea and let the water be free?
"What breaks through the warp interception line is simply a fart!" Even a layman like him could see that it was an illusion—that the Covenant had prepared to deal with his vision.
Covenant Government ...... You bastards!
…………
Temple? Griffin was wronged, really wronged, and he could swear to God that the cargo shuttle was definitely not an illusion, although it looked like it from the picture, but in reality it was a cargo shuttle, because the number jù would not lie.
The moment the cargo shuttle twisted and disappeared, the border warp interception system had captured a strange gravitational wave that caused a compression effect on time and space. Not only that, but the warp probe on the cargo shuttle's trajectory also detected an unusual warp speed response.
If the cargo shuttle is really an illusion, how can it be as energetic?
Therefore, when Eisenhower made solemn representations to the Covenant government on this matter and sued Temple? When Griffin was cheating and stealing, the innocent deputy commander of the "Babylon" Navy almost jumped up and scolded his mother.
Eisenhower asked him to send troops, and he went kindly, but unfortunately he couldn't keep the other party, and he apologized for this, and at the end of the message, he kindly asked about the situation of the "Carnoer" space station. (To be continued......)
