"Load them up."
At the UHC Front Line base, an officer gave the order, and the soldiers loaded the captured parasites into transport vehicles.
Once a vehicle was full, the operator pressed a button. The Jet Devices installed inside the compartment began operating, slowly releasing specially formulated Anesthetic Spray from their nozzles.
Its purpose was to put the parasites inside into a state of unconsciousness. When the vehicles reached the Transfer Station, another safeguard would be added: each parasite would be injected with a powerful sedative to ensure they would not wake up at the Landing Site.
The reason for this was naturally to prevent conscious parasites from resisting after arriving at the Landing Site.
Even if they had no ability to resist at all, merely shouting and making noise would cause considerable trouble.
Just like during the previous question, when nearly thirty thousand parasites had been devoured by the Alien Intelligence... If they had been conscious at the time and all started screaming, it was hard to imagine how chaotic the scene would have become.
If many of them had also shouted that they were actually humans who had been forcibly captured as parasites, it would have affected the morale of the soldiers on site as well.
No matter how one looked at it, having the parasites devoured as food while unconscious was the best outcome.
"Move it, people! The higher-ups have been pushing us nonstop!"
"Is the shortage in Xisiya really that bad?"
"They're asking lots of questions, so they're definitely short on food."
"There must be plenty of parasites in Xisiya itself. Why not catch some there to fill the gap? Why wait for us to transport them over?"
"They can't tell them apart. You go arrest someone, and they say they're human—what then? Insist they're parasites
