Chapter 15 Massacre
The Kingdom of Dirudib, one of the members of the Xie Lei Chong Alliance, is located in the far east of the southern universe and in the remote area of the Milky Way Galaxy. The country's economic situation has not been very good, but its military strength is strong. Coupled with the export of several rare mineral deposits of good quality, the people's living standards of this country are not bad, at least compared with the north. The adjacent Asian tribes are much better.
Due to its strong military strength, the Kingdom of Dirudib has made great efforts in border defense. The whole country is very safe. Except for a few interstellar robbers with shabby small spacecraft, there are no pirates at all. Spaceships sailing in this country do not need the protection of any warships and can save a lot. Cost.
Yepshenko sat in the command room of this old cargo ship and drank high-quality black tea bought from the Asian tribe.
Yep Shenke is 104 years old this year. Even if he has a five-level martial arts cultivation, he is not young. For half his life, he worked on various routes between Dirudib and the Asian tribes. Gradually, as his experience became richer and richer, on his 80th birthday, he finally saved enough money, coupled with a low-interest loan supported by the state, he successfully bought this second-hand medium-sized transport ship. It has become a transformation from staff to boss.
Over the years, he has relied on the connections made by various merchant fleets in the Asian tribes in his early years. In addition, he has always been fair and has never deceived the honest and simple Asians, but has also won a good reputation. Business is very prosperous, the loan has long been paid off, and he has saved a lot of money. Yepsenko has figured out that when he will work for a few more years, he will sell the boat, then buy a new boat for his son and go to the Asian tribe for retirement.
At the thought of the Asian girl he knew in the Asian tribe who had a pair of sharp ears and had a red face, Yepshenke couldn't help but be moved and wanted to immediately change the route back to the Asian tribe.
However, even if you want to go back, you have to sell the Asian specialties on the ship and load the goods.
Yepshenke will not do anything at a loss.
"Captain, we are about to arrive at the border checkpoint."
The boatman in charge of communication shouted.
Yepshinko suddenly came to his senses: "Oh? It arrived so soon. Well, if you guess correctly, the stationmaster of the checkpoint is Major Milovich during this period. Don't worry, he and I are old friends. Rhea, bring me the box in the second drawer of my cabinet. That's a gift I carefully prepared for Major Milovich.
The speed of the old cargo spacecraft gradually slowed down, and the hull trembled slightly, which showed that its life was almost over.
Seeing that he was about to enter the passage of the checkpoint, Ye Pushenke was a little puzzled. At this time, the communicator had been ringing for a long time. But today, it is about to reach the door of the passage, but there is no communication.
"Rhea, are you sure our communicator is working properly?"
A thin young man turned around and shouted, "Father Ye Pu, I just checked it with my bare brain. Everything is normal."
"Strange things..." Ye Pushenko shook his head, got up to the light brain screen, and looked at the checkpoint in front of him.
The weapons installed at the checkpoint were quietly placed there, facing the depths of the universe and not aimed at the spacecraft under inspection as before. The lights at the whole checkpoint are on, which is no different from usual, but Yepsenko always feels that something is wrong.
The channel is open.
"Is there still no response?" Yeshenko asked.
"Father Yepu, no one responded. Do you think those people are drunk? Raya said with a smile, "I think we can go there directly and avoid a customs fee."
Yepshenke hesitated a little. He has always been relatively steady and would rather spend money than be caught.
"Wait a minute."
This is three hours. There are few ships on this route, and usually no ship will pass in five or six days, so they don't have to worry about the blockage of the waterway.
Rea yawned: "Father Ye Pu, do you think something will happen to the checkpoint?"
Yep Shenke shook his body and frowned: "I don't know. I always feel a little uncomfortable. Forget it, we are ready to set sail. Let's go to Yemus Star for a rest and then inquire about it. Anyway, I don't think it's appropriate to stay here for a long time.
"Good!" Rhea smiled and immediately knocked on the light brain. The engine at the tail end of the spacecraft emitted a blue flame and slowly started.
Five hours later, they arrived at Yemuse Star, the nearest to the checkpoint.
Because this planet is closest to the Asian tribes, its foreign trade is very developed, and there is a lot of land suitable for cultivation on the planet. It is an important food production base of the Kingdom of Dirudib. The planet has a population of nearly 500 million, and it is also the planet with the highest economic level in the kingdom.
In the space port, there are many spacecraft moored, most of which are cargo spacecraft, the rest are passenger ships, and a small number of which are private spacecraft and military warships.
The old spacecraft slowly sailed into the space port, but what worried Yepsenko was that until now, he had sent countless communications requesting entry into the port, but none of them received a reply. The whole port was silent. Despite the brilliant lights, no ship was moving. Yepsenko had no choice but to control the spacecraft to enter the free berth in the port. Such an approach is tantamount to infiltration. If it is found, it will be a large fine, and if it is serious, it will put the whole ship to prison.
"Old...Dad..."
There was a panicked thud in Rhea's ear. Yepshenko's heart moved and asked, "What's wrong? Have you received communication feedback?"
"No, it's not... Dad, you... look..."
Yep Shenke was keenly aware of the fear in Rhea's voice. He came to the main screen of the light brain and raised his eyes to look at the screen.
At this point of view, he was completely stunned.
There are people in the port, and there are many others.
but...
These people are all dead! At least thousands of people fell on the port without any movement...
"This...this is..."
Yepshinko felt his teeth tremble violently and made a rattling sound.
Surely, he thought of a possibility and immediately shouted, "Rea, turn on the life detector!"
Because sometimes, Yeshenko will also transport some local specialty pets from the Asian tribes and use life detectors, so he installed such a thing on the ship, but he didn't expect that he would use it to detect the planet's port.
The results of the detection are surprising. There is no life reaction in the whole port.
Yepshinko panicked.
He trembled and walked to the cabinet on the side of the command room, took out a strong bottle of Volga, bit open the bottle cap, poured it into his mouth, and poured less than half a bottle in one breath.
Two clusters of blush floated on his old face, which calmed his mood a little.
If such a thing happens at the spaceport, what about the ground?
Life detectors cannot sense such a long distance, but there is also a reconnaissance system. Although it is only an old cargo ship, it will also install such equipment. Ye Pushenko's hands tapped on the keyboard. Due to his excessive excitement, he hit the wrong button several times. Finally, he adjusted the reconnaissance system and looked at the largest city in Yemus Star.
A picture appears on the screen.
At a glance, Ye Pushenko's eyes were round and raised, and his mouth could no longer be closed.
Dead people... Dead people everywhere...
These people seemed to have been killed suddenly without any resistance, but their faces were full of panic. On top of every dead person's head, there is a small charred hole. If you guess correctly, it should have been accurately hit in the head by a beam gun...
......
The Capital Star of the Kingdom of Dirudib, Ministry of Military Affairs.
How's it going? Is there still no news about the border checkpoint and Ye Musa Star? * At this time, there is no majesty on the face, only anxiety.
Several communication officers kept trying to establish communication with the target in various ways, but they were never successful.
An officer suddenly came in and saluted *, "General, the prime minister sent another message, hoping that we can immediately send a spaceship to Ye Musaixing."
A trace of displeasure appeared on *'s face, and he snorted coldly: "The nearest military force to Yemuse is the border checkpoint. In addition to them, it will take more than ten hours to reach Yemese at the nearest place... Forget it, let the Fifth Base send a squadron over and give me the fastest speed. Remember, the communication along the way is extremely smooth and reported every three minutes.
Yes! General." The officer saluted and went out.
* walked back and forth a few steps and suddenly sighed: "What happened to Ye Musaixing and the border checkpoint? It has been almost ten hours. Even if the spare communication equipment fails, can't civilian equipment be used? Damn... Could it be the Asian tribe taking the opportunity to launch an invasion?
Another general next to him shook his head and said, "It should be impossible. The Asian tribe belongs to the Xie Lei Chong alliance with us at this time. If they dare to attack, the alliance will not let them go!"
"What if you don't let it go? The New American and the Asian tribe have fought for so many years, and the hatred is as deep as the sea, and the Asian tribe is still alive. * Shaking his head and saying, "Compared with the Asian tribe, I would like to believe that an electromagnetic storm suddenly broke out over there and blocked all communication."
The general was puzzled, "But... the meteorological department didn't find the possibility of an electromagnetic storm over there?"
"So I'm also very strange..."
The two were chatting when suddenly an officer hurried in. After saluting, he quickly said, "General, a freight ship that has just returned to China from the Asian tribe sent a message saying that there was very important information."
"Important information?" * When he was about to scold him, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "You mean they have just returned from the Asian tribe?"
"Yes, General."
* quickly walked to him: "So, they must have passed the border checkpoint and Yemus Star?"
"Yes, General. We also took this problem into consideration before reporting it to you.
* suddenly overjoyed and immediately said, "Come on, take over his communication immediately, and I'll talk to him in person."
The communication network was quickly connected, * slightly sorted out the military uniform, and sat steadily in front of the communication light brain.
A panicked old man appeared on the screen. From *, he should be in the command module of a cargo spacecraft.
"I'm the head of the kingdom. You can call me General Romon."
*'s voice is very steady, giving people a very firm feeling. Hearing this sound, the old man calmed down a little.
He said tremblingly, "Hello, General Luo Meng. The small one is the captain of this ship, named Yepsenko. He usually runs to the Asian tribe to do some small business, abide by the law, and never evade taxes..."
"Stop!" Roman* interrupted him, and at this time he was extremely anxious to know what had happened over there.
"Mr. Yepsenko, please tell me your location immediately!"
Because of what he had just seen and heard, coupled with the first time facing such a high-ranking official, he was naturally in a trance. I'm afraid he couldn't say one, two or three for a day. But if you answer the question, you can still do it.
Yepshenko immediately replied, "General, my current position is in Yemusexing."
"Yemus Star?" * The voice said, "Tell me what happened to Yeruse Star?"
From the old man's look, he already had an extremely ominous feeling.
"Dead people...all dead people..."
General Luo Meng was shocked and hurriedly said, "Be clear!"
Yepshinko swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "General, when we passed the checkpoint, there was no response, and then we arrived at Yemuse Star without any response, and then... Then I found that the whole spaceport and the ground... there was no living person."
"What did you say?" Luo Meng suddenly stood up and shouted.
Yepshinko said in a panic, "General, I didn't lie to you. They are all dead. The whole planet is full of dead people... No, you can look at these photos..."
When those photos appeared on the light brain of the military affairs department, everyone was stunned when they saw these people, including General Romon.
