My empire of stars

As night falls, the city no longer has the hustle and bustle of the past. There are only infected people wandering on the streets. The huge bone blades and bone spurs on the arms of these infected people drag on the ground, making a harsh friction sound.

The skyscrapers are lifeless. The survivors hiding in the buildings dare not make any noise or light. The slightest abnormality will attract the infected wandering on the streets.

On the outside of the city, the assembled biochemical prevention and control troops were neatly arranged into hundreds of queues.

These queues were led by robot troops, followed by imperial soldiers. In the middle of the queue were wheeled armored vehicles, with three rapid-fire cannons on the armored vehicles constantly rotating in an orderly manner.

"All troops, go!"

"Eliminate any abnormal targets seen, and tie up all survivors on the spot to prevent the spread of infection."

Following the commander's shout, the robot troops began to move toward the city with neat steps along the city's spacious roads.

Armored vehicles followed closely behind, with all the turrets on the vehicles pointing towards the front of the road.

At this time, the infected people in the city also noticed the abnormality. A flood of infected people rushed towards the mobile defense line of the biochemical prevention and control troops from all directions.

The sounds of their running gathered together, forming a sound like a landslide through the continuous overlap between tall buildings.

Before these infected people came into sight, the rapid-fire cannon on the armored vehicle had already started firing, and shells mixed with laser beams were fired into the large tide of infected people.

The leading infected people raised their hands to block these shells, but the armor-piercing ability of these orbital rapid-fire cannons was too strong, and the infected people's bone blades were directly crushed without any blocking effect.

The shell that shattered the bone blade blew a large hole in the chest of the infected person, and then penetrated dozens of infected people backwards before completely losing momentum and falling to the ground.

The artillery shells fired by the prevention and control troops who occupied the southernmost end of the north-south road in the city formed an invisible wall. All infected people who wanted to rush over were shot through and collapsed to the ground or were beaten into minced meat.

The infected people who sensed the threat suddenly stopped and began to retreat back.

"What are these infected people doing? Have they retreated?" The commander looked at the retreating infected people through the far-vision system on his helmet and had a series of doubts.

"The robot troops are moving forward!" The commander hesitated for a moment before deciding to seize this opportunity.

At this moment, where the infected people had retreated, the infected people were stacked on top of each other, and the cells on their bodies merged with each other directly through the remaining pieces of clothing on their bodies.

After a while, flesh balls wrapped in bone armor appeared in the middle of the road.

The diameter of the meat ball is at least twenty meters, and there are six tentacles on both sides of the meat ball. When these six tentacles are lightly moved on the ground, the meat ball starts to roll forward.

Accompanied by the sound of objects rolling on the ground, tens of thousands of huge meat balls rolled towards the biological and chemical control troops from the end of the road.

The rapid-fire cannons on the armored vehicles hurriedly aimed at these meat balls and fired wildly. However, this time the shells fired by these rapid-fire cannons only penetrated the thick bone armor on the surface of the meat balls and then stagnated. After a while, they were swallowed by the meat balls and turned into flesh. It became a metal piece attached to the outer layer of the meat ball.

As more shells were fired, a thin layer of metal appeared on the surface of the meat ball rushing forward.

"Load high-explosive bombs! Call for aerial bombardment from battleships!" At this time, the commander no longer cared about protecting the city's infrastructure and directly ordered the troops to withdraw the armor-piercing bombs.

After replacing it with high-explosive bombs, the effect was obviously much better. After being hit by the high-explosive bomb, a large crater was directly blown out of the surface of the meat ball, and a large number of bone fragments were scattered everywhere.

Above the city, the battleship was already in position. The rail gun under the battleship was aimed at the rolling meat ball and began to roar.

The cannonballs falling from the sky directly exploded these meat balls into splattering minced meat!

However, before the soldiers could cheer, thousands of meat balls were suddenly shot from the tall buildings and flew towards the battleship in the air.

Although the close-in defense guns on the battleship fired desperately and shot down most of the meat balls, there were still dozens of them that luckily hit the battleship's armor.

These meat balls formed into flat shapes directly outside the battleship and spread along the battleship's armor.

After a while, all the weapons of the battleship were unable to turn, and the muzzles were blocked by these creatures with their bodies.

After a while, these infected people got into the propeller of the battleship. After a few small explosions, the battleship tilted towards the ground.

"What kind of monsters are these!" Li Mingze was shocked when he watched the battleship being destroyed through a holographic image.

He originally thought that it would only take a while to eliminate all the infected with low defenses, but now it seems that is not the case.

These infected people can actually be combined together to become individuals with various weird functions!

"Has the spread of this virus been controlled now?" Li Mingze asked Tianyi with a frown.

You must know that he has ordered the fleet to guard the outside of each city. Any creature that leaves the city without permission will be bombarded by artillery fire from the sky.

"Your Majesty, the situation is not very optimistic. Look at this!" Tianyi said and sent a video to Li Mingze.

On a deserted wilderness, a cannonball fell from the sky and penetrated into the soil. After a while, a piece of land suddenly collapsed, and a huge snake-like creature with a diameter of more than ten meters was composed of countless infected individuals. Jumped out of the ground and into the air.

The head of this monster is a digging organ composed of thousands of bone blades on the arms of infected people. With the movement of muscles, the "drill" composed of bone blades is still rotating.

"Because there was magma under the terrain, this monster had no choice but to come to the near surface and was discovered by our scanner. Our warship used an earth-penetrating bomb to force it out."

"But! We still don't know how deep it can dive into the ground. The scanning device on our warship is not professional after all, and the depth it can detect is limited."

"Therefore, we have no idea whether these infected people have moved underground to other places!"

"Now these infected people are like time bombs, hidden everywhere in our colony."

"If we don't catch them all in one day, our colony will not be safe."

"I have mobilized prospecting ships to go to various colonies. The scanning devices carried on the prospecting ships can easily scan to the center of the earth."

"We must first find a way to evacuate the people who are sure not to be infected. These planets are too dangerous now!" Tianyi sighed.
