Chapter 54 Parasitic Experiment
Overnight, the city of Sictes became a heart-wrenching "empty city".
Ten minutes ago, almost all the parasitized and insane indigenous people were dealt with by the Federal Legion.
Therefore, when they found traces of remaining parasites outside an exhibition hall, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
Go in and investigate? Dean asked Ives with his eyes, and received an agreeing look from the silver-haired marshal.
This exhibition hall is built in the city center and is considered a landmark building compared to the buildings in other small towns in C44.
After getting rid of the remaining enemies, two teams led by Elvis and Dean sneaked into the museum. As expected, they found that this place was just an art exhibition hall on the surface, but in fact it was not - they found the entrance to the underground base in the museum.
The underground base was vast and complex, housing a vast collection of experimental and medical equipment. It was clearly a research base related to the Zerg. At that moment, aside from the figures searching everywhere, the base was deserted.
Based on the traces of use that had not been completely erased from the equipment, everyone could observe that the base personnel had left in a hurry.
In other words, this base and its personnel were most likely affiliated with Faye. After the Federation Army discovered Planet C44, this group prepared and relocated with Faye.
The base was empty. Apart from some experimental equipment that had not been taken away, there was only a group of "semi-parasitic people" trapped in a constant temperature maintenance box with nutrient solution.
Looking around, all you can see are the residents of Sictes who have not yet completed the parasitic experiments and those who have just been implanted with Tarri worms.
"This research institute..." One team member widened his eyes and asked half-guessingly and half-certainly, "Could it be that they're conducting an experiment to study how to quickly parasitize the human body with the Tarri worm?"
Seeing that Elvis and Dean did not refute, the team members all gasped and felt extremely angry and sad.
The murderers and accomplices who played with the residents of C44 and conducted large-scale experiments, after completing their goals, left easily, leaving behind this group of innocent, suffering, and dying subjects.
How brutal and cruel.
By this point, the whole story was clear—the Zerg had used the small planet C44 as one of their parasitic bases, and the defector Fay had deliberately lured the Federation Legion there, clearly having been colluding with the Zerg army for a long time, hoping to eliminate them through the hands of an outsider. Even if he couldn't eliminate them, he could at least create obstacles for them.
"Everyone, rescue the residents of Sictes from the incubator, quickly!" Elvis shouted, bringing everyone back to their senses.
"receive!"
The soldiers acted quickly. After finding the release system of the nutrient solution constant temperature maintenance box, they rescued all the residents in the laboratory who had just been parasitized and those who had not yet been parasitized from the constant temperature box.
A sufficient amount of mental anesthetics was injected into the nutrient solution, and it would be difficult for these residents of Sictes to wake up in a short period of time.
Elvis's lieutenant wasn't involved in the team's operation. Besides being his lieutenant, he was also the chief commander, a master of data-breaking techniques. At that moment, he held a palm-sized computer, patiently attempting to breach the base's system defenses, bit by bit. His hands moved constantly, his fingers moving like frantic butterflies.
Suddenly, he raised the corners of his mouth as if he had seen good news. In less than two seconds, his pupils shrank slightly as if he had discovered something.
"Lord Ives, something's wrong! This base has been programmed to be destroyed!"
Elvis frowned, "How long?"
"There will be an explosion in five minutes."
Five minutes...is enough.
Elvis and Dean exchanged a glance and, in unison, ordered their subordinates to store all the experimental equipment and drug evidence that hadn't been taken away or destroyed in their storage space. As they rushed out of the underground base, carrying the still-unconscious Sictes resident on their backs, leaving the exhibition hall as quickly as possible and boarding the aircraft, the base's established destruction procedures were activated.
"boom--"
The sound of the energy explosion was almost silent. The loud rumbling noise came from the exhibition hall, which collapsed instantly due to the impact of the underground blast wave.
What is even more shocking is that the collapse of the exhibition hall seemed to have triggered a strong chain reaction. After a violent tremor, the ground cracked and all the buildings next to the exhibition hall collapsed one after another until the entire Siketes was affected and destroyed, and the explosion came to an abrupt end.
It must be said that Fayi planned every step carefully, and if he was not careful, he would very likely fall into his spider-web-like and insidious trap and be buried in Sictes.
The planning began when he fled to C44.
If Dean had not been careful and divided the task force into two groups to scout the central city, the task force would most likely have been completely surrounded by the parasitic army, suffering heavy casualties and unable to hold out until Elvis came to rescue them.
If Ives's lieutenant had not disarmed the base system in time, the instantaneous explosion would have buried all the defenseless people underground.
If after rushing out, Elvis had not quickly commanded them to board the aircraft and stay away from the ground, then... not only the underground base and the exhibition hall, but this powerful energy explosion involving the entire city of Hictes would have killed them without a burial place.
After all, even with a body as hard as rock or iron, or wearing the most advanced protective clothing, it is difficult to resist the damage of energy explosions.
Elvis stood expressionlessly in the aircraft, and through the translucent window, he witnessed the entire demise of the city of Sictes.
The city of Sictes has been destroyed, but other places on Planet C44 and its native inhabitants remain to be explored.
but……
He turned around and walked quickly towards the medical bay.
What we need to do now is to send these residents of Xiketes, who are in dire need of help, back to the federal rescue zone. We need to find a way to save their lives and extract the Tarri worms that have not yet parasitized their bodies for a long time.
Since the Zerg and the Anti-Federation Organization were able to develop a method to allow the Tarri to quickly parasitize the human body, then the Federation would surely be able to develop an antibody "antidote" to combat the parasite and save these innocent indigenous people...
Furthermore, the small planet C44 also needed to be sealed off as soon as possible. This time, a large number of Legionnaires would be dispatched, carrying sufficient weapons to combat the parasites.
It would be best if the defector Fay was still hiding somewhere on this small planet. If he escaped... the infested residents of the remaining towns would also need to be dealt with or relocated promptly.
Dean and his action team haven't slept for nearly two days.
This tracking and investigation has come to a temporary end.
The black-haired deputy commander closed his eyes and rested in the transfer spaceship, allowing the set system program to lead the federal army back home on its own.
A few hours later, the spacecraft arrived at the military spacecraft docking station in the suburbs of the Federation.
Dean opened his eyes.
It's dawn.
