MTL - I Plunder Endlessly In the Interstellar Age-Chapter 412 Trace the source
The fighter plane can carry out ultra-long-range fixed-point strikes on related monsters. As long as the sickle monster dares to show its head, a missile or a series of energy bombs will be thrown down.
Although the two-meter-tall sickle monster attacked fiercely, its defense was very weak, and it was almost dead when it was hit.
There is no good way to take ultra-high-speed fighters, and the corrosive acid is a bit poor in terms of range and ballistic speed.
Coupled with the fact that there were more mechas coming over, the monster's attack and spread speed were quickly contained again.
But these monster sickles are not stupid, they seem to know that they are invincible, and those who survived will not continue to wander outside, and move the battlefield to the building.
With the protection of the buildings, the fighter planes had nothing to do with them, and the situation began to fall into a stalemate.
Even if there is no direct visual evidence here, the connection between these carapace monsters and sickle monsters can be judged.
Although I don't know the specific reason, it is probably that every time a person is bitten, the size of the carapace monster will become a little bigger, and after reaching a certain level, it will form a qualitative change, that is, the kind of sickle monster.
Chuxue didn't see the process, so he didn't know if it was hatching, splitting, or something messy like evolution, anyway, it must be like this.
Otherwise, there is no reason why every time a carapace monster hides in the shadows, a scythe monster will appear soon, that would be too coincidental...
If it continues like this, fighter planes can suppress the battlefield, and perhaps the consequences will not be so serious.
However, the hatching speed of monsters is too fast, especially carapace monsters.
With such a large population in the city, it is simply a breeding ground for them to incubate, and it will increase by dozens almost every second.
After reaching a certain number, these monsters turned into sickle monsters again. Repeatedly, the number of sickle monsters also reached the terrifying thousands, or even tens of thousands.
You must know that the regular mecha reserves of the Wanli City Police Force are only a few thousand, and even including those owned by ordinary pilots or those who use them in professional work, the number does not exceed 20,000.
If it is a head-on confrontation, an air strike with a fighter plane may win.
But this is in the city, all kinds of narrow streets and buildings are beneficial to the monsters, but the mechas are quite a hindrance.
Moreover, the ammunition of the fighters is not unlimited. After killing dozens of scythe monsters, each plane basically fails to fire, and has to return to the headquarters of the guard to replenish.
Once they came back and forth, a lot of time was wasted. When they came out with a full load of ammunition, the monster's invasion range expanded again, and the number increased tenfold.
Now even if there is more ammunition, it is useless, the number of scythe monsters has risen.
At least from the monitoring screen, the whole has changed from rare to everywhere.
The guard's mechs also changed from looking for scythe monsters everywhere to being surrounded by scythe monsters.
As the mechas fell, the situation in Wanli City could no longer be controlled. Only the headquarters and branches of the security force or a few areas where the curtain could be opened were temporary pure lands.
Because these monsters still lack effective means of attacking fortifications, as long as the buildings are hard enough, not all made of alloy materials, and do not react violently with corrosive acid, they can resist for a long time.
But all resistance without follow-up support is meaningless. No matter how thick the particle shield is, when it is surrounded and beaten for several stars, the ending will be broken.
The ending of Wanli City is also the same. After a few weeks of hard topping, it fell completely.
There were no mechas on the street, and no crowds fleeing in a hurry, only dense figures of monsters.
People can only hide in various high-rise buildings or hidden places, trembling and praying that they will not be found.
This is also the main reason why more than one-third of the casualties in the entire city, there is no way to resist, only to be beaten, and if they meet, they will die.
With the assimilation and advancement speed of the monsters, if they are completely ignored, it will not take more than a day to lay down a small city with a population of several million.
Even in large cities, it is only a few days.
It may take several months for a single-point eruption to lay down the entire planet, and it will be faster for multiple-point eruptions, and it may take a few weeks.
In addition, the monsters' use of corpses has reached the extreme.
Even if it is killed by a sickle monster and turned into a corpse, the carapace monster will still bite, and new carapace monsters can also be hatched.
This is outrageous, which means that the more populated the place, the more monsters will be in the end.
In addition, the hatching time of monsters is completely uncertain, some thirty seconds, some minutes.
And after the human body is parasitized, it will not fall to the ground immediately, but it can still act like a normal person until the monster gives the hatching command.
Chuxue saw from a surveillance video that a person was bitten by a monster, and ran like a normal person for more than ten minutes, followed the crowd to escape into the building and hatched, until all the people on the field were parasitized.
This is why the guards try to protect the crowd inside the building, only guarding the door, and monsters will still breed.
When it is impossible to tell whether the human body is parasitized or not, all protection is futile. Maybe it is a monster that is being protected, and it is impossible to guard against...
Originally, based on the situation of Wanli City, it was definitely going to fall as a whole and then spread to other cities.
Fortunately, the signal for help from the headquarters of the Wanli City Police Force was timely enough, and the response speed of the surrounding cities was fast enough to arrive overnight.
They also absorbed the experience gained from the combat reports of the previous guards, and counterattacked from the monster's weakness.
As deflagrating bombs were thrown into the places with the largest number of monster swarms, most of the monsters on the street were cleared, and the momentum of the monsters was weakened. Then, the powerful mecha teams were used to cover each other and advance to clean up the various buildings.
When the reinforcements arrived, the number of monsters was only a few hundred thousand, scattered all over the city.
The hundreds of thousands of mechas who came to support were gathered together and pushed forward from the surroundings to the center, making it very easy to fight.
The monsters can do more damage to the human body, but for these two types, the effect is still limited in the face of the frenzy of prepared bodies.
So it only took a few stars, and the supporting mechas quickly took back the area occupied by monsters and completed a comprehensive cleanup.
Including sewers and various hidden corners, they will check in the follow-up time.
The monster was gone, but the damage caused was irreversible. The burned corpses of **** sapiens and monsters added up to close to a million, and even the air was filled with foul-smelling black powder.
The entire city was completely paralyzed, and millions of injured people had nowhere to deal with, and many people even died because they did not receive timely treatment.
All kinds of buildings and magnetic energy vehicles suffered devastating blows, after all, mechas can't care about these when fighting monsters.
No one expected that the peaceful small city with a population of 8 million would turn into almost ruins after only one night.
After Chuxue arrived, she spent more than a month looking for and watching videos.
After all, the monitoring in Wanli City is still completely popular, and there are many places to watch, and sometimes you have to slow down, which is very time-consuming.
This is also a helpless thing, because the disaster has passed, and the most direct place to understand the monster is the previous video.
The harvest is still very great, many questions have been solved, the characteristics of the two monsters have been known, and the cause, process and result of the incident have also been clarified.
But new problems also appeared. How was the middle-aged man parasitized in the first place?
According to the information that has been obtained, monsters need to parasitize in the human body to hatch more monsters.
After all, it was the middle-aged man who created the first wave of monsters and caused the disaster.
Before the middle-aged man, there were monsters, but they were not discovered.
If it was the second type, where did the monster that bit the middle-aged man go? Why don't you come out and make trouble?
The way to tell the difference is also very simple, that is, to see if there are any wounds on the middle-aged man's body.
If there is, it is bitten beforehand, if not, it is a self-contained monster.
It would be even more terrifying if there were no wounds, and it would involve the question of why middle-aged men carry monsters.
It's just that it's impossible to identify through the corpse.
Because not only the body of the middle-aged man, but also the body that died in the disaster could not be found.
Either it was absorbed by the monster and turned into a mummy, or it was burned to ashes.
It is not realistic to judge the wound by video alone, mainly because the place where the monster bites is not obvious, it may be under the clothes.
So we can only trace the source through the video to see where the middle-aged man has problems.
This step is very critical, and can directly find the source of the problem, or the source of the disaster.
It is a pity that it is extremely difficult to observe a person's every move through surveillance video, and there are many places that surveillance cannot see.
As a result, Chuxue could only take it step by step, starting from the time when the middle-aged man drove into the parking lot and started to push forward a little bit along the monitoring.
Including which routes the middle-aged man passed, where he went, how long he stayed, who he met and so on.
However, Chuxue found that the middle-aged man never got out of the car on the highway, and drove all the way from Huaijing City, the capital next door.
After obtaining the surveillance authority of Huaijing City, it can be seen that the middle-aged man has not left his residence for several days, as if he has been staying in the room.
He didn't leave until more than ten hours before the incident, and went directly to the garage for driving.
From the monitoring of this section, it can be seen that middle-aged men are not much different from normal people, and there is still no accurate answer to the question.
The most suspicious thing is the middle-aged man's house. What has he been doing at home these days?
Now Chuxue is on the way to the middle-aged man's house, and the transport plane can only go to the interstellar airport, which is still some distance away from the destination.
Compared with the chaos in Wanli City, Huaijing City as the capital is peaceful.
Although the disaster happened next door, it was not affected in the slightest.
Because the news is still completely blocked, it is afraid of causing unnecessary panic.
This is also the protection of the surrounding cities. After all, no one is sure whether there are no monsters in Wanli City and its surrounding areas.
It wasn't until Chuxue completed the source tracing and figured out the cause that everything could return to normal.
"Sir, are you thinking about monsters?" A soft female voice suddenly came from inside the quiet magnetic energy car.
The source comes from the cab, a girl holding the steering column forehand.
She was about the same age as Chuxue, with short bob hair and pupils of a natural light blue color, slightly pointed ears, regular facial features, and also wearing the uniform of a law enforcement officer.
Even if they are all Homo sapiens, there is still a lot of difference in blood and race, which can be seen from the appearance.
While driving, she peeked at Chuxue through the rearview mirror inside the car, with deep worry in her eyes and tone.
"En." Chuxue retracted Piaoyuan's thoughts, nodded slightly, and responded casually.
"Why don't you take a break, sir, you won't be here in a while, you haven't been well for a few days..." the girl continued.
"I'm fine, Xiao Rou, please drive well." Chuxue interrupted the girl, stopped looking out the window, and continued to lower her head and stroke the light board in her hand.
She couldn't hear her mood at this time from the voice, but she was not very happy.
The girl named Xiao Rou secretly stuck out her tongue and dared not speak any more.
In the fleet, she is Chuxue's adjutant. In private, she is like Chuxue's personal assistant. She is responsible for Chuxue's basic necessities of life.
Although as a law enforcement officer, he has to serve tea and water to others on a daily basis, which is somewhat of that.
But she didn't have any resentment, and was even happy.
Because Chuxue has become a benchmark among female law enforcers, a role model for them since she made continuous contributions on the battlefield of the galaxy war.
Being able to follow the role model, she is willing to do whatever she does.
It's just that Chuxue doesn't cooperate with her to some extent. It's okay in daily life, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com But as long as it's on a mission, it's common to not sleep for a few days and not eat for a few days.
If something goes wrong, it must have something to do with her as an adjutant. Sometimes she is really anxious to death.
At the same time, she secretly blamed herself, if she could share more for Chuxue, then Chuxue would not be so busy...
Chuxue didn't know what Xiaorou was thinking, and after repeatedly scratching the board, she suddenly raised her head: "Have you analyzed the detailed data of the monster's body?"
If you want to fully understand the monster, it is not enough to just watch the monitor, you have to know something deeper.
For example, the flesh composition of the monster, the acid composition, how to complete the parasitism after a bite, what it looks like when it is parasitized in the human body, and why the parasitism can keep the human body in a normal state.
There is also what controls the length and length of the incubation time, and how to absorb nutrients from the human body during incubation.
Why can monsters parasitize after people become corpses? Does it only need the flesh or through blood or something else.
Anyway, there are countless questions that cannot be answered by monitoring alone, and must be studied and analyzed, which is very complicated.
With the technical level of this planet, it is somewhat difficult to complete these tests.
So Chuxue sent relevant specimens to the battleship many days ago, and also sent a few copies to Tianlan Fortress, and has been waiting for the results.
"No, sir, the personnel and instruments carried on our battleship are unable to make a comprehensive analysis, we have to wait for the planetary fortress."
"I was reminded yesterday, but the news hasn't come back yet."
"It would be great if we had live samples, so we can conduct tests on the spot..." Xiao Rou shook her head without looking back.
