Chapter 117 Another Assassination
Chapter 117 Another Assassination
A blood-red mist rose from the remaining liquid after evaporation and spread in the sealed and isolated laboratory.
The medical examiner, who hadn't had time to evacuate, was quickly engulfed in the blood-red mist. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't escape.
The guards rushed forward, quickly broke the door, and the moment they pulled the person out, the automatic sprinkler system was activated.
Under the rush of water, the blood-colored mist seemed to be extinguished, pressed down, and fell to the ground into a pool of red liquid.
But soon, a large mass of blood-red rose up again.
This behavior pattern gave everyone a bad feeling.
Although the naked eye cannot see what the fog is composed of, the answer is already obvious.
"Marshal, it might be a new Zerg, but it's too small to be seen with the naked eye."
"Collect living samples."
If it was the Zerg, then the case would be much clearer and simpler. Regardless of whether the deceased lord had a personal grudge or some other conspiracy behind the scenes, the person who raised the Zerg has resurfaced.
Ordinary fire and water are useless against the Zerg. Captain Duan Tianyue has already raised the Strong ion cannon.
However, the spreading blood-red mist did not continue to attack the forensic doctor and the guards. Instead, it seemed to have received some kind of call and moved quickly towards the laboratory room at the back.
"Could it be that they are using corpses as a basis for reproduction?" Lu Qing put on protective clothing but still did not leave the scene.
Yuan Xu glanced at Lu Qing, and Lu Qing looked at him frankly.
Using water to flush it won't have much effect, and using an ion cannon will blow up the building.
"Marshal, should we deal with it now?" Duan Tianyue didn't dare to act on his own.
The fog was isolated by the outer cover of the laboratory and could not enter, so it just stuck on it.
These blood-colored insects rushed into the gap like flowing red liquid. Suddenly, more than twenty pink glowing boxes changed into enchanting patterns, which were beautiful and weird.
Yuan Xu's intuition on the battlefield made him react instinctively: "Retreat!" He raised his hand in the air.
The guards dispersed immediately, and the marshal needed to use his mental strength to the fullest!
But Yuan Xu suddenly turned his palm and slapped the person next to him on the chest, with his five fingers gathered together and grasped it tightly.
The sudden attack startled the captured person, and he was thrown out in the next second.
Duan Tianyue drew his gun and opened fire the moment he saw Lu Qing being thrown away!
"marshal!"
The moment Lu Qing hit the outer cover of the laboratory, the guards' guns began to fire.
Lu Qing was struck in the chest, a huge bloody hole letting in light. The blow also pierced the outer covering of the experimental room, allowing the bloody Zerg to find the entrance.
But fortunately, Lu Qing did not hurt the marshal at all.
Lu Qing was not dead yet, and was struggling on the ground with blood spitting out of his mouth. Duan Tianyue and his guards gradually approached and cleaned up the mess.
As the guards approached Lu Qing, Yuan Xu suddenly gave the order:
"Everyone withdraw!"
At the same time: Bang!
Duan Tianyue and the others only had time to turn around after hearing the order when the laboratory behind Lu Qing exploded.
"Old Duan!"
Chizhou watched as Duan Tianyue exploded into four pieces in a huge fire and flew towards him. The guards at the center of the explosion were instantly turned into limbs.
The remaining people had no time to mourn as they immediately donned their mechas. Yuan Xu had already rushed towards the explosion, blocking the experimental room, but the floor had already been blown through.
The guards, unable to rescue them in time, fell down. The blood-colored Zerg went crazy upon seeing the corpses, sucking their fill and turning even redder, and continued to pounce on the corpses in the laboratory.
"Marshal, these corpses are all human bombs!"
Yuan Xu's mental power shot out in all directions, strangling the bloody Zerg. But it didn't work!
Are the Zerg not afraid of mental power?
The greater the damage from the artillery fire, the faster the Zerg exploded on the corpses. The guards immediately sprayed conventional insecticide, but it only slowed the movement of the blood-red mist.
Before a more suitable means was found, more than twenty experimental rooms exploded one after another with a bang!
The entire capital planet was shocked by the loud noise.
Everyone looked up in horror in the direction of the explosion. In the blink of an eye, the top half of the building was blown away, the middle floors disappeared, and the remaining half collapsed with a loud bang.
The people in the building rushed out in fear, screaming and shouting like hornets that had been stung.
Several mechas could be seen flying out in the air, but soon the ground gave way and the remaining half collapsed to the ground, leaving it in ruins.
Chizhou and the guards who rushed over were searching by climbing up the floor.
However, it was no longer possible to enter the explosion site.
Chizhou pressed the special alarm.
The marshal was attacked and his life or death is unknown.
-
Tianjiu and his group, who were still on the aircraft heading to Paris's house, were also shocked by the sudden explosion.
Looking from the air, the sign that could be seen every day in the most prosperous neighborhood was gone, and only thick black smoke was emitting.
Countless rescue teams and fire-fighting drones rushed in from all directions.
There were sirens, alarms, crying, and running everywhere.
"Hancheng!" Tianjiu saw the flashing red alarm on the star network in disbelief.
"how come!"
Han Cheng breathed heavily and came to the control panel of the aircraft.
His hand was steady.
The best and strongest people in the world will be selected into the Marshal's guards after undergoing the most rigorous training.
He can still operate everything as usual.
But he couldn't control his heart.
The list of internal monitoring of the guards...two columns are black...
"Yuanxu was attacked, and the first team was almost wiped out. Old Duan is gone."
Han Cheng tried to speak in the most normal voice, but those slight tremors revealed everything.
Everyone in the team was silent, their eyes filled with grief and anger.
The Marshal's Guards have never suffered so many deaths except on the battlefield!
There is almost no precedent in the history of the empire where a marshal could be injured in a non-war situation and under the protection of the guards.
Who dared to assassinate the marshal in the capital, in full view of the public? This is a slap in the face of everyone! This is a humiliation to the Imperial Guard and the Imperial soldiers!
Tianjiu looked at the display screen, the numbers dancing under the business card information, and the row of dim portraits, and was almost speechless: "Is there no Marshal?"
Han Cheng shook his head slowly: "Only on the battlefield can we monitor the marshal's data."
"Then, go, go to the scene."
"Xiaojiu." Chen Junjun grabbed Tianjiu's hand, both of them were equally cold.
"The Marshal should be fine. Don't scare yourself."
"The Marshal is also a human being."
Tianjiu looked at the scene outside the window that was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but speak out, his voice so soft that almost only he could hear it.
The aftermath of the explosion affected all surrounding buildings, with two nearby city blocks practically destroyed and thick smoke and black ash raining down.
The victims on the road were lying all over the place, and the survivors were still in shock and in tatters.
Chizhou, wearing a mecha, retreated from the ruins. He told himself to stay calm. He was the marshal's first deputy, and he couldn't panic. He still had to take charge of the overall situation.
They have experienced too many crises and can overcome any danger no matter how serious it is.
He issued orders like a machine and carried out the tasks he was supposed to do.
He forced himself not to recall the last moment he saw: the Ares mecha was damaged in the firelight, the marshal's head was exposed, and his cheeks were covered in blood.
He couldn't think, couldn't think.
Blockade, rescue, medical care, public opinion, notification, logistics...
From the Imperial Palace to the Ministry of Defense, the First Army, the Parliament, the State Council... the entire empire is taking action.
Zhou Chang brought everyone to Chizhou's back, facing the ruins ahead:
"let's start."
