The so-called haunted incident is already the fifteenth day after the last refugee incident. Because this group of refugees who escaped from the center of the galaxy have been safely sent to the refugee camp on the surface of the planet for isolation. Although the refugees are a little nervous
, but with the comfort of the leaders of the team, there was no commotion.
The empire said that it likes this kind of refugees the most. As long as they don't cause trouble and obey the orders given by the above, they are of course good refugees.
Of course, out of humanitarian considerations - of course, mainly because a considerable part of this group of refugees are humans - the fortress also sent them basic supplies and medical care, and even some leisure terminals and books.
Everyone seems to be in peace.
The imperial government's work efficiency has always been very high. Within a few days, the identities of most of the refugees were confirmed. They were citizens of various countries abducted by predators over the years.
Their leader was the man who spoke to the fortress, and was even an imperial citizen. His name was Dr. Xie Yiwei, and he immigrated to the empire three generations ago. His great-grandfather was a slightly famous navigator, and his grandfather and
His father was a well-known businessman and country squire in the local area, and he himself was a university master who received a doctorate from the Royal Academy of Engineering. Later he joined the Hand of Glory Design Bureau and became the famous Apocalypse Eagle.
One of the designers of destroyers.
It can be seen that after the Xie family immigrated from the earth, the class of each generation has been improving. If the destiny can be maintained, maybe ten generations later, the Earl of Yongdi will not be the most beautiful.
Before.
It's a pity that they encountered the large-scale predator invasion eighteen years ago.
This already somewhat famous ship designer disappeared during the raider invasion. The Hand of Glory Design Bureau sadly held a funeral for him and applied for a medal, but they never expected that he was still alive.
The design bureau didn't think there was any embarrassment in holding a funeral for a living person. Anyway, this kind of mistake had never happened before. On the contrary, they were very happy to have an excellent ship designer return.
However, the problem here is still the same. From the perspective of national defense security and epidemic prevention, the refugees still have to stay in the refugee camp for a period of time until the intelligence personnel and three-prevention experts have completed the investigation.
But no matter what, it was generally peaceful, and everyone in the fortress felt a little relieved, and focused on the "Glory Mission" military exercise that was about to end.
Before Luyuan Star, after Admiral Farrell of the red side finally achieved a decisive victory in the fleet battle, the officers and soldiers on the fortress were all beaming with joy, and for a moment they actually felt a deep sense of honor.
Although they did not participate in the exercise, according to the setting, the red team's headquarters is located in the Lion's Den Fortress. From this, wouldn't the officers and soldiers on the fortress be considered members of the red team? Well, there is nothing wrong with the logic!
Seeing that the soldiers were so excited, traditional veterans like General Celerius also felt that everything was calm now, but there was no need to pour cold water on everyone at this time, so they allowed extra meals and half a day's leave.
Of course, vacations have to be taken in turns. As for extra meals... As long as the imperial army is not a slave soldier with little human rights, the overall treatment is still very good, at least the nutrition of the meals is definitely up to par. And the so-called extra meals
, of course, there is wine to drink. Of course, even officers only have one glass of low-alcohol fruit wine, and even cats cannot get drunk, and some personnel on combat readiness duty in critical positions will never allow it.
All in all, I have to admit that as the most powerful armed force known in the universe, the imperial army maintains the most basic combat readiness at all times. Coupled with the Lion's Den Fortress with advanced equipment and complete facilities, it stands to reason that it should not be
What could go wrong?
However, the problem still occurred.
The first thing that happened was the three young lieutenants who were on vacation. After they had had enough wine and food, they didn't plan to go to the surface entertainment area of Yuanxiang City to relax, so they went to the lounge to play cards, watch TV and play games.
This way, even if something goes wrong, he can return to his post immediately. This is really a very responsible young man.
However, what we need to know is that this is a military garrison, and almost all places are monitored, including the soldiers' dormitories and toilets and bathhouses. There is no rest room that is only used by officers.
...After all, this is an empire, and officers are most likely citizens rather than nobles, so they still need some respectability.
These three young officers went to play in the lounge on the 12th floor of the fortress. At that time, there were just three of them in the lounge.
However, half a day passed, and when the prescribed time for changing the guard came, the colleagues could not wait for them to return to their posts, so they went to look for them, but found nothing.
Surveillance video showed that they indeed entered the lounge and did not come out. However, the three officers seemed to have been invisible and there was no trace.
Before the military police of the fortress could start to solve the "missing incident of three officers", a "murder incident in the secret room of the soldiers' dormitory" occurred in a soldier's dormitory.
In a locked dormitory room with sentries and security robots patrolling the corridors at all times, twelve fortress guards who were resting were all dead. Most of the bodies were in terrible condition, as if they had been torn apart by wild beasts.
. Only one of them had a complete body, but only a hole was dug out of his neck.
Then, according to the surveillance video, the murderer was this Wolfgang soldier. He suddenly woke up from his sleep and went crazy as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. He killed six humans and two Sumilans in the same dormitory.
A Franmoor, a Kimyan and a Togru were all killed.
As we all know, the Wolfgangs are a warrior race that is very similar to the mythical werewolves. The brute force of a single-wheeled race is indeed at this level. What's more, his comrades are still sleeping.
...Well, don't pay too much attention to why soldiers of so many races actually live in the same dormitory. You know, strictly speaking, they are all demi-human races, with similar life spans and similar living habits. Even their eating habits are similar, of course.
Living together. What's more, these soldiers belong to the fortress defense force and are formed as stormtroopers. Their treatment is slightly higher than that of slave soldiers and cannon fodder. Such treatment is already very good.
This is an army after all. Even sailors and other technical units with higher professional requirements, although they live in a room of four, they often have to mix and match with different races.
Of course, if you were an officer, a citizen or even a noble, it would be another matter.
In short, this Wolfgang stormtrooper who suddenly went crazy killed all his comrades in his squad in just half a minute. Then, he immediately tore open his neck, leaving a trace of this secret room murder.
An ending full of supernatural realism.
The murderer's body was sent to the laboratory for autopsy and examination, but nothing was found.
Then, an unknown infectious disease appeared on the fortress. In a relatively closed environment like the space station, any large-scale disease is enough to make the top command concerned. Admiral Seleliu gave an order, and the entire fortress
Mobilization was quickly mobilized, everyone put on protective clothing, and the patients were isolated in a separate area.
However, after the collective action of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers across the fortress ended, it was discovered that a dozen people were missing. After checking the surveillance cameras, they could not even find when they disappeared.
Then, mutations occurred in the patients who were isolated in separate cabins. Several of the seriously ill Legg giants experienced a wonderful rent-back phenomenon. Their bodies expanded nearly twice, from long-haired animals that walked upright to
The walrus man turned into... well, a tusked walrus monster that could run on all fours and walk as fast as flying. It killed people in the ward.
By the time soldiers wearing protective suits and warning robots arrived, fewer than ten of the hundreds of patients and medical staff isolated in this cabin were alive.
At this time, even the most capable commander could not prevent the rumors from spreading throughout the fortress. Fortunately, most of the people stationed in the fortress were elite troops from the empire, and the officers at all levels were also very good.
Let rumors turn into uncontrollable panic.
However, panic that can be controlled is still a type of panic. Anyway, the legend of the haunting of the Lion's Den Fortress has become widespread.
This is easy to understand! There are more than 200,000 soldiers in the fortress and twice that number of various robots. They have conducted a comprehensive search of every sewer and exhaust pipe in the fortress for more than three days, but still found nothing.
.Other than being haunted, what other explanation is there?
Admiral Selerius felt that even if it was a ghost, as long as it dared to show up, the Imperial soldiers could still throw it into the reactor to generate electricity. But the prerequisite was that it must really show up.
The experienced veteran suddenly realized that all these strange things seemed to have only happened after those galactic refugees entered the country.
"However, they are all in the refugee camp in the distant country. They have never been anywhere, let alone the fortress. Moreover, nothing happened there." Brigadier General Kesore, the security director of the fortress, reminded.
Admiral Selerius said that he knew, but after thinking for a moment, he still issued the order to put Fargo and Fargo City in low-Earth orbit under martial law. At the same time, he also connected to the refugee camp and asked for peace and security.
Their leader, Dr. Xie Yiwei, spoke alone.
The latter soon appeared on the holographic projection of the real-time communication. He was a man in his early sixties, of medium height, thin and slender. His temperament was elegant but not weak, and he looked like a powerful person.
Of course, it would be strange if he wasn't a human being who could lead a group of refugees to escape from the looters.
The two exchanged polite greetings, and then the general got straight to the point and asked:
"Doctor, during the period when you were about to take out the galactic core, did you notice any unusual events?"
"Are you referring to... the emergence of a new Great Khan? I can only confirm that the new Great Khan is an Eero and a woman." The doctor said: "However, the giant Meshandar and the Beato people
They are not very willing to obey this new female khan."
"We already know this." Admiral Selerius said: "I mean, some other weird trends. Anything can be used, especially during the period before you set off."
Dr. Xie suddenly showed a helpless expression: "General, I am just a slave kidnapped by the plunderers. Although I can help them repair the ship and receive some preferential treatment, my living space is restricted, so naturally I can't find out any information.
.”
At this time, he suddenly thought of something and said thoughtfully: "It's not that it's impossible, but I'm not sure if it's true, and I don't know if it's useful."
"I said, anything is fine." Admiral Selerius said.
