Talos's words made Soshiyan a little confused, so he asked:
"What's wrong?"
"When I returned from Korclia, in order to avoid the Red Pirates Patrol fleet, we deliberately took a long way back from Sengrad, where I encountered some things, or received some news..."
Talos then told the story—
"It seems like there was a riot in the nearby planet."
On the bridge, the bored Casatti sat on a chair with his legs resting on the railings, looking at a visual transmitter, a panting sound sending a brief report from the horn-shaped speakers, and the crowd cheering from time to time.
"...The Ministry of Justice's strike forces entered the thief's den, where...the resistance was crushed with powerful force, and then... I just received news from the Second Militia Regiment that a rebel stronghold was captured by the Emperor's soldiers, with the total casualties... "
"It's abnormal when there was no riot in the empire."
Talos stood aside, holding the freshly prepared hot coffee in his hand. This is not ordinary Reca coffee, but Red Mountain coffee from the far and wild world. It is an expensive luxury that can only be purchased in areas with busy trade such as the Great Vortex, and only those standing at the top of the Imperial Power Tower are qualified to enjoy it.
In the picture, the host in a dress stands in a safe place, away from the tracer bullet fire and explosion smoke behind him. He is dressed neatly and carefully dressed, and his humble appearance shows no sign of mechanical transformation.
Such similar broadcasts are common in the Nest of the Empire, basically a joyful report of the Emperor's victory, speeches on the doctrine of the State Church, inspiring sermons, criticism of arrested criminals and pagans—in every case, the official elected representatives embody pure, non-threatening personnel.
The host looked natural, but Talos could still see that in addition to being trained to keep the instrument under the gaze of the servo skull, the short man also wore a large number of articulation control racks, autofocus diaphragms and skin fluorescent agents.
“…The empire defeated the rebels again, praising His glory, without reports of casualties!”
The man solemnly waved his arms to the scene behind him, and a nameless town located at the lower level of the nest was blown to ashes by a circle of simple tanks.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Talos frowned, and through the blurry flames, he could recognize that the small outlines of the crumbling figures were struggling dyingly, as if they were children and women, and were burned alive.
"…a wave of rebellion, but this is a hymn dedicated to the throne of Terra, long live the emperor! The heroes broke through the obstacles and drove away the dirty pagans..."
“Huh?”
Kasati also noticed something was wrong, and he frowned and paused the picture.
"Why do I feel like this nest is so dark? There is no light at all?"
"More than that, look."
Talos stretched out his hand and pointed to the edge of the picture, where some people in guard uniforms were searching for something in the pile of corpses.
"The bodies were as thin as firewood, what rebellion did they use? Teeth?"
"Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Well, go and have a look. I feel that something we don't know is happening, maybe Soshiyan doesn't know either."
Soon, the two thunder eagles left the cruiser and flew all the way toward the planet, without any obstacles on the way, because they carried the sign of the Knight of the Astral Realm. As for the more than a dozen inquiries and greetings from the Governor of the Planet, Talos ignored them.
The thunder eagle headed straight to the nest capital.
After entering the atmosphere, he realized that things were much more terrifying than he thought. The entire nest was completely trapped in darkness except for the middle and upper parts, just like a huge cave that appeared on the dry earth.
Talos then lets the Thunder Eagle land directly on an unknown area in the lower floor of the nest.
In his concept, even though the nest is dirty, backward, and chaotic, it should at least be lively.
But when Talos walked out of the Thunder Eagle, he was only silent.
The wind sighed on the wreckage of steel, whistling through the rusty pipes, metal creaking sounds, and notes undulate as they scrape, like a boring song, countless ups and downs and metal shacks in the dark like rolling mountains.
"What happened, why did Chaodu's electricity seem to be interrupted..."
Sabrin looked at the quiet darkness around him, and a puzzled voice came from under his helmet.
Talos said after a moment of silence:
"Prosom... because Angustom was besieged, they couldn't get enough Prosom."
At this time, Talos had vaguely guessed something, but he didn't say it.
The team followed him all the way, and they didn't light up any lighting. Because their helmets and Superman vision were enough.
Afterwards, they came to an abandoned station, and the steps rose from the piles of debris, and as they walked past the concrete shattered quietly at their feet, the silent song had a deeper tone here, as if the elevated rail was a huge tuning fork, and its vibration continued, like the humming tune of the sleepwalker at night.
"Look--"
Kasati circled in the dark with his hands, and everyone saw a train capsized under the tracks, surrounded by countless dry corpses.
You can imagine the scene at that time. Driven by some kind of disaster or something, countless people tried to board the last train leading to unknown places, but the train eventually left the track, capsized on the ground and crushed the layers of broken limbs and broken arms below.
After that, they continued to move in the darkness and discovered more suspicious things.
First of all, it is still quiet. Not only is there no movement from people, but there are not even animals. You should know that the nest is never short of all kinds of creatures, especially rodents, but here, even rodents seem to have disappeared.
It seemed like it had been bombed by a virus bomb.
Walking to an empty well, Talos squatted down, twisted some light green sludge hanging from the grille with his fingers, and then reached out to get a detector from Alvarez.
Soon, the instrument came to a conclusion.
"Someone has used poison gas, but it is not the life-eating virus like virus bombs, but the... nerve gas often used by the Ministry of Justice to suppress it."
"And they also deliberately poured poison gas into the underground pipes, obviously to kill those who might be hiding inside."
"Company Commander, I've discovered it."
Suddenly, Li Lin's team, who was investigating in front, sent a message, and everyone moved in the direction where he was.
