2321. "Ant Colony" Plan (Part 1)
"Hey, Joseph, what are you thinking about?" A Imperial Army soldier walked over and asked another tall soldier.
The soldier named Joseph looked at the huge V-150 Planet Defender cannon through the night. Under the occasional flash of red firelight on the horizon, the cannon now looked like a huge mountain, thick, dark, steady, and suffocating.
"My hometown, Duka Planet, also has such a beautiful red sunset." Joseph said with emotion, "I was thinking that maybe in a few days, when those officials surrender, we can go home."
"Haha, make no mistake, that's fire, not sunset." Soldier the Empire said, "Haven't you seen enough of this fire? There was a meteor shower all night yesterday. They were all fragments of the destroyed space station in outer space."
"Meteor Rain is good. When they can't hold on here, they will naturally surrender. I heard that Duchy of Dawn treats prisoners well. Maybe I can apply to return to my place of origin." Joseph said.
"If you really become a prisoner, you might as well settle in Duchy of Dawn. They are recruiting immigrants on a large scale," the soldier said.
"I still want to go back and see my wife." Joseph took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one for himself, and threw the rest to other soldiers.
There are actually things similar to cigarettes in the Milky Way, but they use cigarettes made with trace amounts of spices. In contrast, Dawn Star Planet specialty cigarettes have been very popular among lower-class soldiers and people since more than ten years ago.
A soldier took the cigarette, took out a flameless lighter, lit it, took a puff and said, "Have you ever thought about whether your family can still live a good life if you are no longer a the Empire soldier? Duka Planet, it is close to Outer Rim. Maybe you are captured in the front, and the tax collector will take people to your house to collect taxes."
Joseph was a little irritated when he heard this. He muttered something and looked into the distance again.
Another soldier followed his gaze and looked over. The sky over there was blazing with fire, turning the night red. "Ninth Industrial Zone, it looks like that side can't survive tonight. Once the industrial area is broken, the capital area will be wide open. What do you think, how about we go knock out those engineers and tie them up? As long as they can't repair this cannon, we won't have to participate in the battle."
However, as if he was joking with them, as soon as the man finished speaking, the huge V-150 Planet Defender cannon slowly rotated and made a dull rumble.
"This belly-popping thing is so damn unlucky." Joseph spat and said, "Let's go back to the base first, so as not to be late when we call for a gathering later."
The group of soldiers began to get back together, and after several years of military service, they still had some discipline. However, at this time, they discovered that one person was missing.
"Where is Kafu?" Joseph asked.
"He has been sitting there, he must have fallen asleep..." Another soldier turned around, only to see a man sitting on top of a cargo box, with his back to them, leaning on Rock motionless.
He walked over and called, "Hey! Kafu, get up! The cannon is almost repaired, go back and gather!"
However, at this time, all I saw was the soldier named Kafu. His body began to tremble and twitch, his head was twisting from side to side, his neck bones were cracking, and he was breathing loudly.
"Hey... what's wrong with you?" The soldier went over and patted Kafu on the shoulder.
However, as soon as he took the shot, Kafu suddenly stood up, and his body began to twist abnormally, and the muscles on his body were constantly squirming. Not only that, as he continued to squirm, his body began to get bigger! It's as if every muscle and bone in the body was torn and broken by the ancestors, and then put back together to become bigger!
"You... ah... this..." the Empire soldier was completely frightened.
At this time, Kafu slowly turned around. At this moment, his body had become more than three meters tall, making him a giant! The muscles on his body were knotted, and a large amount of meat was piled up unnaturally, but it was as hard as steel. Moreover, his right hand is still growing, and a large amount of mutated matter has accumulated crazily, making his right hand even bigger than his body!
"Ouch!!!!" The monster let out an extremely terrifying howl, then swung its right hand violently, and whipped the soldier away with a snap like a giant braid!
The huge force smashed the soldier into pieces at this moment, and countless blood spurted out like rain.
"He has turned into a monster!! Hurry! Kill it quickly!!" Joseph reacted the fastest, shouted loudly, immediately picked up the Blaster rifle in his hand and opened fire.
The blaster beam hit the monster, exploding small craters, but they were quickly filled with new tissue. This light weapon had no effect at all!
Other soldiers also raised their guns and fired, but their distance was too close. The monster rushed over in a few steps, waving its huge right hand in a sweep, and two or three more soldiers were knocked away. Under that huge force, there was no chance of surviving being whipped by this huge arm that was three to four meters long!
"Run! Go back to the base!" Joseph shouted while shooting, directing everyone to retreat towards the base.
But soon, they heard a lot of screams, gunshots, and explosions coming from the base! Immediately afterwards, a terrifying monster rushed over from the other direction.
That monster looks even more terrifying! It seemed to mutate directly from its back, with a new head growing directly from its back, causing the entire upper body to be squeezed onto its chest! This look is extremely disgusting. Moreover, there are still engineer's clothes hanging on the upper body. It is already very obvious who created this monster.
As soon as it saw the group of soldiers here, the head growing out of its back suddenly bulged its cheeks and spurted out a large mouthful of green pus!
A the Empire soldier was caught off guard and was sprayed all over his body. He suddenly let out a shrill scream! In almost less than a minute, his body was corroded by the pus.
"Run away! Run away!!" Joseph was frightened. He shot and retreated in panic. At this moment, he couldn't care about his other comrades. All he wanted was to leave here as soon as possible!
Looking towards the direction of the base, there was already a raging fire over there. It was obvious that the inside of the base was also attacked, and there was a high probability that it was this kind of monster!
Where did these monsters come from? If it is a virus, how does it spread? Joseph I don't know, and I don't want to think about it. Now, he just wants to escape from here as soon as possible.
However, he didn't run very far. When he passed by the field hospital, a bag containing a corpse suddenly jumped up, and then a terrifying mutant tentacle protruded from the bag! This tentacle immediately entangled Joseph, and the tentacle began to crack again, growing out a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and then swallowed Joseph's head in one bite!
At this moment, this V-150 Planet Defender cannon orbital defense base has been completely captured by more than a dozen monsters! There were soldiers running around everywhere, and they were unable to organize an effective defense at all.
Sudden mutations and sudden attacks left them powerless!
