My empire of stars

After hours of fighting, the empire's biological and chemical control forces finally succeeded in clearing away the infected wandering on the city roads after sacrificing 30% of their combat robots and armored vehicles.

The next task is to enter each building and eliminate all infected people hiding in the building.

However, after the imperial troops entered each building, they did not find any infected persons.

"Room 1 is safe!"

"Room 2 is safe!" Dozens of soldiers wrapped in isolation power armor, escorted by combat robots, cleared the entire building and gathered on the rooftop.

"Report to the headquarters, no infected persons have been found in Building No. 13!" A soldier reported through the communication channel of the headquarters.

"Command received it, check the next building immediately!" After a while, an order from the command came from the terminal.

The cleanup team activated the jetpacks on their backs and jumped towards the building next to them.

At this time, there was no joy in the headquarters because no infected person was found.

A dull atmosphere enveloped the command hall of the headquarters.

"Sir, the number of infected people we have eliminated has been roughly calculated. We should have eliminated about 40% of the infected people on the entire planet, and the remaining 60% of the infected people are still missing."

"They may have left the city through some channels." An officer reported carefully.

The commander smashed the table angrily: "Keep looking, I don't believe these infected people can get wings and fly!"

At this time, the commander always had an indescribable feeling. He felt that there seemed to be an aura of conspiracy.

A few hours later, the last building in the city was searched, and no trace of the infected was found in any building.

The survivors were also rescued intact by the soldiers. These survivors have been tied up and placed in several buildings. Before finding out how to determine whether they are infected with the virus, these people will lose their personal freedom and prevent the virus. Continue to spread.

"Sir, we have exhausted all means we can and have not found any trace of the infected person."

At this time, a soldier suddenly raised his hand, obviously having something to say to the commander.

The commander nodded slightly to the soldier and said, "Tell me what it is."

"Sir, when I was searching the city's blueprints, I discovered a complex underground pipeline system."

"This pipeline contains the city's drainage and water supply functions. Because it was originally designed to prevent malicious people from exploiting it, the entire system is composed of small pipes."

"Therefore, our troops subjectively ignored these pipelines and believed that infected people of ordinary size could not pass through these pipelines."

"But we have overlooked that the body shape of these infected people can be changed!" the soldier said, sending a map of the underground pipeline distribution to the screen in the command hall.

"Where do these pipelines ultimately lead?" the commander stood up and walked to the screen, looking at the countless pipelines superimposed on each other and asked.

The soldier hurriedly searched for it on the drawing, and after a while he raised his head and replied loudly: "Sir, these pipes will eventually be collected into the sewage treatment facility outside, where the sewage will be converted into clean water and discharged into an artificial lake. "

“This artificial lake is also where several nearby cities discharge purified water!”

The commander touched his chin lightly.

"Have the residents in these cities been infected with the virus?" the commander asked the officer on the side.

"Yes, these cities are the most severely infected cities on this colonial planet." The officer hurriedly returned.

"Send the fleet to the sky above this artificial lake immediately!" The commander suddenly punched his fist. He now knew where these infected people were hiding.

Next to the artificial lake at this time.

Because of Empire's advanced sewage purification technology, the purified water discharged from the sewage treatment station is even purer than natural lake water.

Some people took aim at the economic benefits that this artificial lake could bring. These people contracted this huge artificial lake, which is like a small inland sea, to cultivate some fish species with higher water quality requirements.

But that night, the sound of rushing water suddenly came from the artificial lake. Worried that there was something wrong with the fry they raised, the farmers hurriedly came to the lake from their homes carrying rifles.

I saw that the surface of the lake that was supposed to be calm suddenly started rolling, and countless bubbles rose from under the water.

"what happens?"

"I don't know, is there something wrong with the sewage treatment plant?" The farmers were discussing.

At this moment, a spire made of flesh and blood suddenly rose in the center of the huge lake.

The spire rose little by little, reaching hundreds of meters high in just tens of seconds.

The clear lake water slides down from this spire, and through the reflection of the lakeside lights, people can even clearly see the tiny tentacles that are constantly dancing on this spire!

"Monster!"

"The Zergs have invaded!" People shouted in panic and fled, while the tower in the lake continued to rise without being affected in any way.

A few seconds later, the tower suddenly rose into the air, and the tentacles below the tower were still waving in the air.

The water droplets attached to the tower spilled into the lake, making a waterfall-like roar.

The tower's rapid ascent left a huge circular crater in the lake, and the water around the crater quickly surged toward the middle.

At this time, satellites in the orbit of the colony star had discovered this tower that was climbing rapidly.

But by the time they reacted, the tower had already passed through the atmosphere and entered the orbit of the colonial star.

"Send warships immediately to destroy this building!" The commander finally knew what he felt was wrong!

The Zerg spreading this virus within the Empire is not a real weapon of destruction!

The reason why they fight head-on with the imperial troops is just to attract their attention and buy time for the 60% of infected people to take action!

And they took advantage of this gap to complete their true purpose, forming the infected people into the Zerg structures that are now floating in the orbit of the planet!

"Report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor immediately!" The commander wiped away cold sweat, but he did not expect that the Zerg would go to great lengths just for this building with an unknown purpose.

Although I don’t know what its function is, it is definitely not a good thing. The value of this thing is definitely more important than a colonial star of the Sith Empire!

Otherwise, why don't they continue to spread the virus and instead bring these infected people together?
