Zerg in the crystal wall world

Tark World No. 925, the capital.

Thick, gloomy red clouds enveloped nearly a fifth of the city, and the clouds grew lower the closer we got to where the gates of hell opened.

In the violent storm, scarlet lightning fell all over the city, but the tens of thousands of bat-winged demons passed through the clouds were ignored.

And even the roaring thunder couldn't suppress the screams in the city. Tens of thousands of demons have turned it into a large slaughterhouse.

In the center of the demonic outbreak, a red cloud covered the street less than a hundred meters away.

A team of police officers wearing heavy armor, and a "Protector" bipedal robot that was nearly three meters tall and could hang its hands on the ground. He was having a fierce exchange of fire with the devil.

If a high-standard street is established in a fortress city or the government, they can still use the terrain to engage in street fighting.

But not here. Even if this was the political and economic center of the world, soul quenching technology and masking technology would not be used when building residential buildings.

The houses here offer no shelter at all, and the concrete, which is fragile to life, cannot serve as a shelter.

All they could rely on, apart from the armor on their bodies, was an armed patrol car that had been burned by the magic flames.

"Assault Team 171, the assault on the Gate of Hell has failed." The leader of the police sergeant reported to the superiors. As he spoke, he pulled the trigger and shot two winged demons that flew down.

"We will try our best to attract the attention of the demons in the neighborhood and ask other teams to find opportunities to break in."

"That's it!" another police officer said.

He successfully installed the repeating ballista on the patrol car on the shoulders of the "Protector", powered by the magic pool of the omnic.

The shape of the ballista is quite classical, but like the bolt crossbow, it is powered by magic rather than animal tendons.

Amidst the bursts of explosive arrows, the demons on the ground fell down in rows.

The vast majority of demons cannot build a shield with magic fire, and every recorded soul blast can blast a huge hole in the demon's body.

There were few deaths at this time.

The population density of the imperial city is an excellent supply station for demons.

They can easily use fresh souls to heal themselves and replenish their shields...

The only good thing is that as steel-seal warriors, their souls have a monotonous taste and lack "emotional elements" to demons. For high-level demons, provoking them is worse than using torture and hypnosis to drive ordinary people crazy and beat them to death. That kind of soul has some flavor after all.

What they faced was just a group of low-level demons.

But even so, the devil's circle is gradually tightening.

The space equipment ensured that they would not be short of ammunition for the time being, but as more and more demons were alerted, they would sooner or later fall into successive attacks...

…………

At this time, the Executive Office entered emergency operation.

But because too many officials were imprisoned, there was still some stagnation.

Due to the demonic invasion, the temporarily elected acting governor frowned deeply: "Have the troops not arrived yet?"

The acting governor said and glanced at the judge on the side: If it weren't for a major review, how could the army's response be so slow?

"No, we suspect that the cloud is maintained by a lord-level demon. All carrier aircraft and missiles that entered it have disappeared." A man in military uniform said.

"Then let the ground troops speed up their actions and we must not continue!"

As more and more people in the city die, and the souls controlled by demons further distort reality, the gate to hell will become more and more secure.

The Acting Governor decisively ordered: "Let the navy prepare best, calculate the explosion range, and use soul bombs to blast away the clouds if necessary."

Someone reported: "Governor, technicians from the Hall of Truth are connected."

"Come here."

Not far away from the Acting Governor, a holographic image appeared that was almost entirely replaced by mechanical prosthetics.

"Master, how is the research on the demon's bloodline contamination plague?"

"We have no clue. This plague obviously has a very long incubation period. Even the earliest infected individuals that can be found have been cross-infected dozens of times, and there is no way to trace the source." The technician said frankly about his failure.

But then he said: "However, we found relevant information about the plague from monitoring the ring's communications. This plague was not caused by demons."

"Not a devil?" The acting governor was startled.

"Yes," the technician's tone was as calm as water. "This is a large-scale plague called an insect scourge. It is slightly less dangerous than the undead plague, but it is even more contagious."

"What's the infection situation like for the soldiers?" the acting governor asked directly. This is the most critical issue at this stage.

According to the predictions of the Executive Office, at least 70% of the urban population is contaminated by blood. It is too late to study treatment options now.

"The symptoms of 'loyal' people are relatively mild and the infection progresses extremely slowly, while the 'pure' people are almost guaranteed to be asymptomatic."

It is difficult for a saint to be infected, not to mention the "Human Supremacy" stamp, which has directional blessings for "pure breeds" and can protect their own genetic chain through twisted will. Highly resistant to the "zeroization" effect of the zerg virus.

"Let governments at all levels set up shelters as soon as possible and broadcast this information. Let citizens help themselves as much as possible."

"And Master, I need you to create immunity and specific drugs against the virus as soon as possible."

"It can't be made." The technician refused without hesitation.

"what?"

"It's changing faster than we can understand it," the technician asserted. "There's no magic drug that can stop it."

The acting governor frowned, even the plague of the undead had a special potion...

The technician continued: "According to the search information, all worlds eroded by the insect plague will lose their value."

“What does it mean to lose value?”

"Endless prevention and control and attacks by highly aggressive infectious agents will greatly increase the cost of garrisoning, even exceeding the development of a new world..."

"Cost?" The inquisitor who had been silent until now suddenly said, "Do we need to consider the cost of guarding the emperor's property?"

The technician gave him a cold look: "That's something you should consider. The responsibility of the Hall of Truth is to provide data and value inferences."

"Truth must also obey the emperor's will!"

"The Emperor has granted truth immunity to all truth seekers, allowing us to put 'truth' above 'loyalty'. If you want to arrest me, please amend the corresponding regulations in the law first."

It was the Acting Governor who spoke again: "Master, so your suggestion is..."

"Construction like a fortress," the technician said, "Be prepared for a long-term battle."

"Fortification?" the governor asked in surprise, "I thought you would suggest that we evacuate."

The technician shook his head: "The plague is more dangerous than you think. The 'pure' steel seal can only prevent the plague from interfering with the bloodline. It is still a virus carrier, and the virus will infect the human flora and live in close symbiosis with the host. It becomes part of the host body and is difficult to remove.”

The governor's expression changed: "That is to say..."

"The vast majority of people have become the infectious agent of the plague, including you with a high probability."

After the words fell, the command room fell into deathly silence.

"I have reported it to the Inquisition." The Inquisitor was the first to speak. "We will block all cross-world routes and track the ships that have stopped here."

As he said that, the judge looked at everyone as he looked at prisoners: "For the sake of the empire, you must accept prison..."

boom--

A big hand suddenly appeared, and the judge was hit on the table with his head pressed down. The force was enough to embed his face into the soul-tempered iron table.

"Very happy -" the Acting Governor breathed a sigh of relief and simply announced, "Release all detainees and the grand review has ended."

After that, he took off the medal that represented the governor and threw it aside.

However, he did not veto the Inquisitor's decision to block the route, nor did he have any thoughts of evacuating. Instead, he smiled cruelly: "Everyone, from now on, the only way for us to serve the Emperor is to die in battle."

In the command room, no one showed any timidity...
