84.Suicide attack?
High-level exotic beasts are difficult to completely eliminate, especially the "Beast Master" who is the core of the natural disaster, who has extremely tenacious vitality.
Even if it is destroyed and only a few fragments are left, it may be able to revive and make a comeback after absorbing the strange factors.
Therefore, the most appropriate way to destroy it is to let a purifier purify it and remove all the strange factors in its body.
When the beast master centipede was torn into pieces by the golden tiger, Su Liu found the right time and completely purified the centipede.
Without their master, the remaining beasts became weaker and were quickly eliminated by the reinforcements that arrived.
At dawn, countless vultures were circling over the ruined Sky City, coveting the corpses.
Amid the ominous cries of crows, the military personnel cleared the battlefield in an orderly manner.
Rescue the survivors, burn the corpses, and collect crystal core animal materials...
Having experienced countless terrible hells, military soldiers still feel heartbroken for the tragic endings of their compatriots, but they can only block their sad hearts and deal with the aftermath.
In the temporary headquarters, Li Qineng, as the person in charge of this operation, gave a post-war summary to all relevant personnel.
"Preliminary assessment: This disaster is classified as 'burning.' The beast's owner, the centipede with fewer spines, codenamed 'centipede,' has been purified and its body sent to the Imperial Capital Military Headquarters for dissection and research..."
Su Liu stood at the edge of the door, frowning as he listened to what Li Qineng said.
The confirmed death toll has now exceeded 3,000, and more than 2,000 seriously injured patients have been transferred to hospitals in various cities for emergency treatment.
Not to mention the countless people buried under the buildings, waiting for rescue in despair.
The loss is too great.
It is obvious that the Emperor Star is the safest place in the Imperial Star Domain, but unexpectedly, danger is still everywhere.
Compared to other unsolved mysteries, Su Liu couldn't wait to know what exactly this "suicide attack" was.
After everyone else returned to their jobs, Su Liu followed Li Qineng.
"Instructor, are these so-called suicide attacks really the result of their own will?"
Li Qineng strode towards the airship waiting outside without stopping because of the students' questioning.
After getting on the airship, he looked at Su Liu who was catching up with him, fastening his seat belt and looking like he was determined to fight to the death.
"Student Su, why are you still staying in school during the winter break?"
Su Liu said bitterly with a gloomy face: "I am an orphan and homeless. If I don't stay in school, do I have to pick up trash?"
Li Qineng's breathing stopped.
How could he have forgotten that Su Liu was an orphan?
With a little bit of guilt in his heart, Li Qineng's tone changed from harsh to gentle.
"This isn't something you should know. You're only a first-year student, not even twenty years old. During the winter break, you can either explore the infected area to improve your strength, or stay at school and farm."
"But I'm a Purification Master, a Second Lieutenant." Su Liu forced the subject back. "Take that famous star for example. I don't think someone who is full of hope for the future and has carefully planned their career would choose to destroy themselves by committing suicide when they have achieved success and a bright future."
Only last night did she realize she had been misled.
The so-called "suicide" gives people the feeling that the infected bodies voluntarily swallow the alien beast eggs in various ways and retaliate against society by detonating themselves.
But the incident with the big star, combined with the girl on the school bus, made Su Liu suddenly realize that these people might not really want to die.
It is very likely that they were forced to swallow the eggs of strange beasts without even knowing it, and then ended their lives tragically without even knowing how they died.
Even after death, they will be mentally whipped and labeled as antisocial elements.
Facing the confused Su Liu, Li Qineng remained silent and did not explain anything.
A few minutes later, the airship suddenly stopped.
Just as Su Liu looked outside the cabin to see what was going on, Li Qineng leaned over.
Then, the strict and unsmiling instructor forcibly unbuckled her safety belt, picked her up, tucked her under his armpit, and then opened the hatch with one hand.
While Su Liu was still confused, Li Qineng threw him down through the hatch.
Su Liu, falling rapidly in the strong wind, with his facial features distorted, said: "Ah, lululululu????????"
The Purifier had no ability to fly, and was about to fall face first onto the ground and become a pile of broken flesh. Su Liu closed his eyes in despair.
However, a dark shadow swooped over and caught her steadily, letting out a cry of "Ouch".
Su Liu opened his eyes: "Senior Fei Yali?"
Fei Yali put her down with a smile and asked, "Why don't you go home during the winter vacation?"
Su Liu dusted himself off and said while looking up at the sky, "My roommate and I will be staying at school for a while."
In the air, the airship has already gone far away.
It was really difficult for Li Qineng, as he had to go around to the school gate and drop her off directly at the gate.
After all, she is a purifier with a military rank. Is there anything I can't say to her?
Fei Yali had just returned and brought Su Liu into the campus.
"I haven't gone home yet either. I joined the disaster relief efforts last night." Fei Yali smiled easily, not at all like someone who had just participated in a major battle. She even had the energy to tease Su Liu, "I just happened to see the whole process of you purifying the centipede. Junior sister, you're amazing."
Although the centipede was greatly weakened by Li Qineng, it was still a beast that could cause disaster, and was easily purified by Su Liu.
It is really worth pondering how strong this junior schoolmate’s purification ability is.
Upon hearing that Fei Yali was also joining the disaster relief efforts, Su Liu immediately asked, "Does Senior know more about this?"
Fei Yali said, "Are you wondering whether the so-called suicide attacks were the will of the infected themselves?"
Su Liu nodded vigorously.
When they reached the fork in the road on campus, Fei Yali stopped and looked at Su Liu deeply.
"If I told you that you could be fed poison in any public place without knowing it, and die horribly with no chance of survival, would you be afraid?"
Su Liu blurted out: "Of course I'm afraid."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned.
Fei Yali continued indifferently, "Yes, anyone would be afraid."
Su Liu stood there, feeling a chill down his spine.
Fei Yali waved at her and said, "See you when we go to the infected area, junior sister."
Then, Fei Yali walked away leisurely.
It was a rare sunny day in winter. Under the sunshine, Su Liu looked down at his own shadow.
In other words, is it true that the infected bodies did not choose the infection entirely on their own, but were injected with alien beast eggs without even knowing it?
Where, how, and who orchestrated this horrific tragedy?
Too many questions made Su Liu inexplicably scared. He kept hugging his arms tightly, but he couldn't warm up his cold body.
No wonder the military dared not make the truth of the matter public. This uncontrollable terrorist attack has already caused social unrest and instability among the people.
At least using the excuse of a "suicide" attack can alleviate some of the panic.
If people knew that they could become the "lucky one" at any time, eating the eggs of alien beasts without knowing it, and becoming a terrible and miserable infected body, then the entire empire might be in turmoil.
