594 Troubleshooting
The first reaction of many high-ranking officials of Eternal Night City when they heard that their city had been invaded by bugs was of course disbelief.
They have been fighting and entangled with the Zerg for so many years, can they still not recognize the bugs?
So Ares, the god of war, directly pulled a human disguised as a bug that had been forcibly controlled before in front of everyone, which instantly caused an exclamation.
"You know him, don't you?" Ares asked with a sneer as he kicked the human over in front of everyone.
The number of mothers of lurkers is obviously not much, and the few officials disguised by insects caught by Bai E and others among the high-ranking officials of Eternal Night City are themselves only subgenital lurkers, and their combat effectiveness is not high.
For their own colleagues, these officials of Eternal Night City obviously do not fail to know, "House! ”
"What's wrong with you?"
"How did they get caught? Did you do something to be sorry for Lord Didu? ”
"My lord, there must be some misunderstanding between them!"
Restrained and powerless to resist, House struggled frantically while trying to ask for help from his former colleagues, "They're crazy! They are not from the imperial capital! They just want to take our city! The diplomatic team was hijacked on the way back and has defected! Don't trust them! Don't trust them! Uh~"
Ares didn't wait for the other party to finish talking about these meaningless separations, and cut off the other party's head with a single sword.
As the man's head hit the ground, Gollum rolled on the ground a few times.
The head that originally belonged to a human has also changed into the shape of an octopus head of a monster.
Nothing proves it all more than the facts that are happening right in front of us.
Looking at the monster's head that almost rolled to his feet, the nearest senior official of Eternal Night City shrank in horror, "This...... What is it? ”
Ares still smiled coldly, "Don't you know each other? How can a colleague who has been with me for so long ask me what it is? ”
"We know House! It's not this monster! ”
"When?! How did House turn into a monster? I've watched him grow up! ”
The smarter ones realized the crisis at the first time, "What do you mean, many of us have been replaced by bugs?" ”
As soon as these words came out, many high-ranking officials of Eternal Night City present immediately distanced themselves from their originally close colleagues.
Those scrutinizing eyes seem to be questioning whether their colleagues who have been with them for many years have become puppets of insects at some point.
"You don't have to guess about each other." The deputy captain of the Imperial Capital Elite Squad also took a step forward at this moment and said, "You who can appear here are already a group of monsters that have been screened by our Lord Bai E, a total of eight monsters, and they have been controlled by us. To prove that we're right, you can try to kill them one by one yourself! Look inside them if it's the same human you once knew. ”
After all, for human beings with feelings, being able to attack the people around them who they knew in the past is the biggest psychological obstacle.
If this obstacle is not overcome, the people of Eternal Night will have no chance of winning against the lurkers who have invaded the entire city into a sieve.
As he spoke, the vice-captain beckoned to his subordinates behind him and said, "Bring them all up!" ”
"Yes!"
The other seven humans who had been brought up by the lurkers began to beg for mercy as soon as they saw their colleagues.
"Help us! Save us! ”
"They are not from the imperial capital! It's all a lie! It's all a lie! ”
"Don't believe their! We are all normal people! ”
The accompanying personnel of the Imperial Capital's scientific research department came to the middle of Bai E and Ares, and whispered to the two: "I have had a separate conversation with these lurker descendants just now, and finally I found a very interesting thing......
Ares' eyes flashed, and he asked with interest, "What?" ”
"They...... It doesn't seem to be a bug, they really think they're human psychologically. However, some of them have also said that they seem to feel a great will watching over them. And they will feel that they will not be able to resist the other party's command, whether they meet or not, as long as the other party has a thought. In my guess, it's their parent lurkers. In the absence of an order from the Mother Lurkers, it seems that these child Lurkers will really just continue to follow the previous life trajectory of the human they replaced. ”
"Can you find their mother directly through the link between them and their mother?"
The researcher smiled awkwardly, "This...... No. The connection between them is absolutely unidirectional, and the mother has absolute control and monitoring over each child, but the child cannot find the position of the mother because of this, but it is certain that they must at least keep it within some kind of 'communication' range. ”
Ares found another blind spot, "Does that mean that when we catch the lurkers of these children, the mother lurkers hiding in the shadows already know about our arrival and our intentions?" ”
"This ...... Up in the air. The researcher shook his head, "We can't tell how well the mother is monitoring the offspring." So what I want to remind adults is...... If you want to act, you'll have to speed up. ”
No one knows what the parent who gets the news will plan to do?
The other lurkers who rule the city have come together to encircle and suppress their squad of spearheads?
Or will you use your wits to encourage the other humans in the city to kill them, outsiders who have restricted the freedom of movement of the high-ranking officials of the Eternal Night?
Or seeing that the conspiracy is revealed, they directly launch a devastating general attack on the city of Eternal Night by the hive outside the city?
Even if Bai E and the others had made all the isolation measures they could think of to prevent the things here from being discovered by the monitoring matrix that might exist in secret, they still couldn't guarantee the secrecy of their actions here.
No one knows the outcome.
So it must be as soon as possible.
"Papapa~" Ares clapped his hands, and the god of war from the imperial capital swept sharply over the high-ranking officials of Eternal Night City who were still hesitating in the face of their former companions, "There is no time, the mother body of these insects has learned of our arrival, you must make a decision now!" Trust us and set out to organize the entire city to be inspected by Lord Baie, and help us subdue those who have been targeted. Or ...... Refuse to believe. At that time, we will act by our own means, and the consequences will ...... There is no guarantee. The choice is in your own hands. ”
What the emperor wants is an alliance, and what he wants is an alliance that every city can have in one place.
A disobedient ally is worth the same amount to an ally with heavy losses.
"Know...... Got it adults. "The lord of Eternal Night City has finally taken over this burden.
He raised the technological combat knife handed by the soldiers of the Spearhead Squad, and put it on the neck of a high-ranking official who had a good relationship in the past.
"Lonchirus, I'm sorry. If it turns out that we believe in people who are not human, they will immediately rebel even at the risk of their own death! And I will come with you as soon as possible, and I will lose your life with my life! With that, the lord of the city of eternal night raised his sword high, closed his eyes and slashed it down.
"Poof!"
Sharp broadswords can easily cut off heads.
Bright red blood shot out in an instant.
However, after rolling his head twice as his head fell to the ground, the city lord who couldn't bear to open his eyes to observe suddenly widened his eyes, "This ......"
"It's really ......"
"So is Ronchirus!"
"They're right."
If one is a coincidence, then two can hardly be a coincidence!
What these adults from the imperial capital said is true, some of the people in their own city have indeed been parasitized by insects, and these adults from the imperial capital do have their own detection methods.
"I'm coming!"
A blind soldier-like official stood up abruptly and snatched the big knife from the castle lord's hand.
"They are afraid of getting their hands dirty, but I am not afraid! I'd like to see if all of these people have really been replaced by bugs! ”
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
The sub-infiltrators who were controlled by the spearhead squad had no ability to resist the slaughtering knives, and one by one they were beheaded by the broadswords, revealing their true identity as lurkers.
The smell of blood filled the entire chamber of the secret meeting in a moment.
"It's a bug!"
"They're really bugs!"
"So they've been lurking in our city for so long?"
"Fortunately, the adults of the imperial capital have discovered the conspiracy of the bugs, otherwise the fate of our city will ...... It's unimaginable! ”
"I don't know how the adults in the imperial capital found out......"
Knowing that these people still had doubts in their hearts, Ares patiently explained any possible doubts, "What I said before really didn't lie to you, the five warriors you fought in Eternal Night City did get you one of the five qualifications for the council of the alliance this time. But...... They used bugs to achieve this victory. We have locked them down, so we have the qualifications to go to the council, and after this is over, we will have to negotiate separately in the presence of other cities. ”
"It's nature, it's nature!"
"What are we going to do, my lord?" The city lord of Eternal Night City was not an indecisive person, and when he realized the seriousness of the situation, he immediately looked at Ares, the god of war in the imperial capital, who was leading the incident, "You say, we fully cooperate!" ”
"As I said, gather everyone to line up for inspection, and assist us in subduing every target that tries to cause trouble and killing every target that is locked. If we misidentify any of the targets during this period, you can terminate the operation at any time. Do you hear me clearly? ”
"Hear me clearly!" The City Lord of Eternal Night nodded violently, "Let's get started!" ”
When a city is determined to do something, the efficiency is amazing.
Not to mention the city of Eternal Night, which is under constant threat of death, and the almost 100% governance of the residents in the city is one of the capitals that they can always survive.
After the city lord gave the order, the residents who came to line up in front of Bai E had already lined up in an unimaginably long line.
To speed things up, Bai had the inhabitants work in groups of ten.
As long as there is no breath of the Zerg in a group, it is naturally safe, but if there is a little breath, it is okay to check the ten people in this group one by one, so as not to delay the process of the entire city.
Looking at the adults of the outer city who were just standing there alone, and didn't need any tools, the high-ranking officials who maintained order in Eternal Night City were a little dumbfounded in their eyes.
"Do you know who is a bug and who is a human at a glance?"
"What if it weren't?" A soldier from the Imperial Capital's Elite Squad glanced at him with a squint, "Not to mention the slow pace of normal detection methods, the resources required are incomparably scarce, even for our Imperial Capital, it is a big drain." In the entire Human Alliance, only the City Lord of Bai E has this ability to discriminate, and he personally made a trip to your city, so he should know that our imperial capital attaches great importance to your Eternal Night City, right? ”
The obedient Eternal Night City official automatically filtered out a lot of nonsense, only extracted the key information, and asked in disbelief, "This Lord named Bai E...... Is it the lord of the city? ”
Castle Lord...... There can't be several, right?
The city lord of their imperial capital would deign to make a trip for the safety of their Eternal Night City in person!
With such an alliance leader, is their little brother not purely looking forward?
But he didn't want the warrior to glance at him again, "What do you think?" What is the identity of the city lord of our imperial capital, even if his old man has this ability, he will not be able to come here. This White E's City Lord is the City Lord of their Blackwater City, and he is also one of the five seats in the Upper Council of our Alliance! ”
"Oh~ It turned out to be the city lord of Blackwater City......" Several officials of Eternal Night City exclaimed in amazement, looked at each other, and silently wrote down this kindness.
Bai Er's detection does not need any technological assistance, his eyes are rulers.
It looks as if the entire city has to walk through a "floodgate", which is extremely efficient.
Only occasionally in a group of 10 people needs to be checked separately from each other.
And whenever a target is identified, that target is taken to private and treated separately.
No one knows where the people who were taken away have gone.
Fortunately, the probability of this kind of solitary treatment is not large, even if there are already rumors circulating everywhere among the residents of Eternal Night City who are queuing up for inspection, they have not been able to have half an impact on the order under this high pressure.
Only a few figures in the dense crowd at the back of the crowd fled into the dark shadows after noticing that there was not much surveillance.
There are too many inhabitants in the entire city, and there are obviously not enough people to maintain order, not to mention that most of the city of Eternal Night does not have a clearly visible light source, so this kind of escape and hiding is very easy.
'Hurry, hurry, hurry! ’
Bai E looked at the crowd in front of him, and he was a little anxious for some reason, as if he ...... Something bad is brewing in the dark. (End of chapter)
