793. Place of Death
A gust of wind blew by, picking up a burst of dead leaves and dust from the bushes on the side, flying onto the smooth road, making a rustling sound.
[Cleaning Robot 003 is working, please avoid pedestrians...Cleaning Robot 003 is working, please avoid...] The announcement of the cleaning robot sounded in time, and at the same time there was a slight sound of the engine.
This is a colonial area where almost all buildings are metal modular and generally no more than three stories high. A sizable town has been formed here, with everything in the town. The holographic advertisements on both sides of the street are still flashing, and the lights are still on in many buildings.
Although it is already noon in this place.
A bar with a sign saying it was open from evening to early morning local time was still flashing. The bar's automatic door kept opening and closing, and the motor made a whining sound.
Looking again, I found that a bar stool commonly used in bars was thrown at the door. It was precisely because of the obstruction of this bar stool that the automatic door kept opening and closing.
The automatic door kept sounding a slight alarm to remind the staff to deal with the blockage as soon as possible, but no one paid any attention to it.
There was no one on the streets, and there were no Speeder or spaceships flying in the sky. This was completely contrary to the usual prosperity and busyness of this mining colony.
There was a burning smell coming from a nearby restaurant, and some communicators, purses and even shoes could be seen scattered on the ground. The cleaning robot that wanted to clean the streets was still broadcasting, but it never went to clean it - the robot had been damaged, and its entire body was in pieces. Only the head equipped with sensors was still making sounds.
Near the center of the colonial town, a large number of burn marks began to appear on the walls of the surrounding buildings. These marks were caused by the shooting of Blaster rifle or laser guns. There were more and more things scattered on the ground, becoming more and more messy.
There were damaged Blaster rifle, some helmets, ammunition boxes thrown on the ground, and even two blown-up E-WEB heavy blaster machine guns. There are some bloodstains on the ground but not much. With both sides using Blaster rifle or plasma weapons, the bleeding has been reduced a lot.
Behind a bunker constructed of three portable energy shields, a military communicator fell to the ground. The only sign of life that came along the way could be seen here - a lone palm.
[Zi~~~Valk Yizi~~~ number, Valk One please reply~~~! Zi~~~Please report the local situation immediately! Valk One Zi~~~! ] Calls continued to come from the severely interfered communication.
But no one can respond anymore.
More than ten minutes later, several spaceships landed at the space port outside the town, and then hundreds of Clone Trooper wearing white combat armor disembarked from the spacecraft.
The leader is a middle-aged human Jedi Knight.
They quickly checked the town, but there was only dead silence.
"General Barloi, it is confirmed that there is no one in the town, but there are signs of fighting. What is strange is that it seems to be a fierce battle, and there is not even a body left." Clone Commander walked over and said to Jedi Knight.
"It would be understandable if the other party took away all the people, but why they took away the bodies is hard for me to think of." Barloi said with a frown.
"Maybe there are some clues on the body that the other party doesn't want us to know? Such as scars?" clone Commander thought.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Barloi said, "There have been more and more attacks in Perrin Sector recently, but why would Separatists attack here? This place is obviously located in Outer Rim Territories and does not have much strategic value. In other words, it was not done by Separatists?"
"Unless we catch the attacker, this question will never be answered." Clone Commander said.
"The inspection of weapons and ballistics has already revealed something." A clone technical soldier came over and said.
"Say." Barloi nodded.
"Look here." The clone technicians brought them to a wall and pointed to the burn marks on the wall. "Here are the gun marks of EE-3 and EE-4 Blaster rifle. Shooting at about 20 meters will cause such diffuse marks. Because at this distance, the explosive gas has not fully reacted, so the engagement distance of this battle is not long. There are two possibilities for this. The first is a surprise attack, and the second is that the opponent is very fast."
The clone technician pointed in another direction, "Look at this again. There are traces of high-temperature melting on the wall. These are not traces produced by Blaster rifle. Because Blaster rifle will explode after hitting the target, and such concentrated burning and melting will not occur, so we judge that it is a laser weapon or plasma weapon. And based on ballistic analysis, the opponent is about 2 meters tall."
"Then, we found some footprints in the bushes. Judging from the footprints, the opponent weighed about 100Kg, had three toes, and had anti-joints on his feet. The joints were very flexible and did not look like machines, but the traces were neat and we could see that they were very hard. It is currently impossible to tell whether the opponent had mechanical feet or was wearing shoes."
Barloi said, "So, the attacker is about 2 meters tall, walks upright on two legs with reverse joints, and has three toes on his feet... Are there any results from the database comparison?"
"The conditions are not enough and there are no results. But we can only say that among the known intelligent races in the galaxy, there are very few with reverse-jointed bipeds. If it must be said, Killiks hundreds of thousands of years ago has some similar structures on the ruins of some ethnic groups, but it cannot be a complete match." said the technician.
"Is it more likely that the other party is a robot or an intelligent creature?" Barloi asked, "I can't feel the breath of life."
"At present, the possibility of robots is not high. Because robots cannot be so clean and neat, and leave almost no traces. Therefore, I tend to think that it is an attack by an unknown race of Outer Rim Territories, and the other party may have some genes of Killiks." The clone technician said.
Barloi pondered.
A hover motorcycle came quickly, and Clone Trooper on the car jumped out of the car and said loudly, "General! General!! I found those people! I found the body!!"
"Where?" Barloi asked hurriedly.
"Mining area! Outside the mining area! There are many! At least thousands of them!" said the soldier.
"I noticed something wrong with your wording. Are you sure you said that?" Barloi stared at the soldier.
"You'll know when you go over and take a look! The situation... is very strange." The soldier thought for a while and described it, "The corpse... the corpses are all pierced with steel drills!"
