I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Soon there were only three of them left in the cave.

After checking the fracture of the stump, Aled stood up and sighed heavily: "This epidemic is not simple, what do you think?"

Until now, although they don’t understand what happened here, the appearance of mutants, the bizarre organization, the attitude of concealment... everything seems to point to this strange epidemic.

On the stone wall at the exit, there was a huge bloody palm print that was not what a human should have, proving that the mutated one-eyed man had already run away.

Huo Linyuan withdrew his gaze and dialed Wen Yi's number.

The call was quickly connected, and Wen Yi's expression on the screen looked a little grim: "The entire military base is empty. I found something in the control room..."

Before he could tell his discovery, Huo Linyuan interrupted him.

"We'll talk about this later. Instruct the combat team to build a temporary aid station and send another team to my current location. We have found some survivors."

Wen Yi was a little surprised. After a moment, he seemed to realize something. He nodded and went to carry out Huo Linyuan's order.

At this time, Abel, who had been following them, came out.

"If you want to rescue the people here, maybe I can help." Abel said.

Huo Linyuan looked at him in silence until Abel felt a little uncomfortable. Then he looked away and said:

"Now tell me the whole situation here."

-

They returned to the building where they first discovered the monster. The entrance to the cave was just opposite the building, in a dilapidated container.

Aled and Huo Linyuan found a chair at random, and Abel sat opposite them.

"Tell me, what happened here?" Aled went straight to the point.

Abel's face showed a painful look, as if he was lost in memories, and then his voice slowly sounded.

"Three months ago, a plague broke out here. At first, the infected people just had rashes all over their bodies, and the treatment equipment couldn't make it go away."

"Later, more and more people became sick, and the rash turned into ulcers all over the body."

"Then a large number of people started dying and there was panic in the city."

"Some people fled the planet, and the others who stayed behind formed several factions. The villains no longer concealed their true nature and started to loot and rob everywhere."

"In just one month, the order in Helka was completely disrupted and it became a living hell."

"The commander of the base began to send troops to suppress the chaos. It had a certain effect at first, until one day later..."

As if he remembered some horrific scene, Abel's eyes showed fear and his lips began to tremble.

"I, we found that the people who were infected had mutated."

"Their bodies can expand rapidly, grow green faces and fangs, are extremely powerful, and are not afraid of gunfire. What's even more terrifying is that they eat humans."

When he spoke later, Abel's tone was a little difficult.

He took a long breath before continuing:

"Although we did kill some of the monsters, the number of mutants kept increasing. Except for me, all of our team members died in the monsters' mouths."

"Later, the commander could only gather the healthy people and retreat to the military base."

"Until a month ago, the military base was breached and we escaped with some ordinary people and hid underground."

Huo Linyuan looked him in the eyes and asked, "What happened to the leader?"

Abel's eyes flickered, and then he said helplessly: "Because of the long-term fight against mutant monsters, our weapons and ammunition have been exhausted."

"The one-eyed man you saw earlier, after we escaped, relied on his weapons to force everyone to recognize him as their leader."

"There are still many forces like this, and each force is secretly competing with each other. Now the largest force has occupied the Central City."

"They relied on their large numbers and sufficient weapons to wantonly rob resources and food from other groups."

Abel breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, the rescue team has arrived. I just don't know how many people the military has sent for this rescue?"

"We are just a rescue team. Let's first understand the situation here." Huo Linyuan said.

Hearing this, Abel's expression changed, but he quickly concealed it.

Huo Linyuan seemed not to notice his abnormality, and then asked: "Since you are familiar with the situation here, can you organize the people in the cave and follow the rescue team to the military base later?"

"Yes." Abel saluted and returned to the cave.

Huo Linyuan looked at his back, wondering what he was thinking.

"It feels so weird." Since there were no outsiders present, Qi Yan simply played the electronic sound out loud and expressed her doubts.

Aled nodded and agreed, "I feel the same way."

Abel's words seemed reasonable on the surface, but upon closer examination, they were full of loopholes.

For example, since even the military couldn't resist, how did a group of ordinary people without weapons break through the siege?

According to Abel, there should be a lot of people who have undergone mutations, so many that even the 100,000-strong garrison cannot resist them. However, since they landed, they have only seen one monster with their own eyes.

"He must have hidden something in what he said just now. Let's just wait and see what happens for now." Huo Linyuan said.

Shortly after he finished speaking, the combat team arrived here.

After Abel's lobbying, everyone in the cave finally returned to the military base.

-

Administration Building, Central Control Room on the third floor.

Wen Yi opened the record log.

"About three months ago, the epidemic broke out. At first, only the infected people died. Later, the infected people gradually mutated." Wen Yi played the log to Huo Linyuan and others while reporting what he had investigated.

What he said was almost identical to what Abel said.

There are also some images interspersed in the log, which record the scenes when some of the abnormalities occurred, as well as the battle conditions.

Through the images, we can see that the mutated monsters are not only extremely powerful, but also extremely fast, and the soldiers are clearly at a disadvantage in fighting against them.

All these situations seem to coincide with what Abel said.

The log stopped abruptly a month ago, which was the day Abel mentioned when the base would be breached.

"In addition, I also discovered that the planet's silent system has been activated."

The Silence System is a planetary defense mechanism that is only activated in the most dangerous situations.

Once silence is activated, it means that all messages from this planet cannot be sent out, and information from the outside world cannot be transmitted in.

At the same time, the entire planet will be shrouded in a powerful repulsive field. In this case, no spacecraft, mecha or other means of transportation will be able to leave.

This means that the planet Helka has been completely isolated at this time, and it also means that Huo Linyuan and his team can no longer leave here.
