After getting in touch with the Imperial Vanguard, which had infiltrated the entire city and established an intelligence network, the Star Group finally got rid of the dilemma of having to use orbiting satellites to obtain intelligence. Hundreds of well-trained soldiers of the Immortal Army quickly collected a lot of key information from the streets of Johannesburg, including the origin of the huge saucer-shaped spacecraft.
...
To the surprise of many people on earth, the alien spacecraft that suddenly visited the earth in the 1990s did not park in international cities such as New York, Washington or Chicago at that time, nor did it choose the Sahara Desert or the Instead of being in a desolate place like the Amazon jungle, it floated quietly over Johannesburg in South Africa.
As a city founded in 1886, Johannesburg's fortune is closely related to the local gold mines. It can be said that if there were not more than 60 gold mines and countless other mineral deposits densely surrounding the city, the city would definitely not be able to develop into the national industrial and even economic heart in the future.
But even so, the residents of Johannesburg never imagined that one day they would witness a giant alien ship that covered the sky and slowly descended from above their heads. And because the news of alien visitors was so shocking, the emotions of human beings around the world fluctuated wildly along with the citizens.
Tension, restlessness, chaos, various organizations and cults take to the streets in people's complicated eyes, spreading to them about the existence of gods and the end of the world. Major powers are holding meetings at the United Nations with increasing frequency, and the topic has gradually evolved from whether to contact aliens at the beginning, to whether to strike first and use nuclear weapons to destroy spacecraft.
As humans generally fell into pessimism because they never received a response from the alien spacecraft, the entire world seemed to be sinking to the bottom of the sea, soaked in this extremely depressing atmosphere and struggling to breathe.
Three months later, under international pressure, the South African government finally had to send troops to use large cutting machines to forcibly cut through the several-meter-thick metal shell on the outside of the spacecraft. It then took several days to open up a tunnel under the supervision of a United Nations expert team. A path leading to the interior of the hull.
In those days, the whole world was paying attention to this unprecedented exploration operation. It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, everyone firmly believed that the members of the exploration team were not only exploring the spacecraft, but also opening up a path for mankind to avoid being invaded by more advanced civilizations. The path of destruction.
Unfortunately, when the camera of the video equipment was focused on the vast space in the center of the spacecraft, people did not see the dazzling light they expected, nor did they hear any so-called sounds. All they had was a filthy place that was damp and filled with garbage and excrement. Dirty environment.
Living in this toxic garbage dump is the alien civilization that has terrified all mankind for three months - millions of alien visitors with ugly faces, body structures, and habits that are quite similar to tropical insects. Dragging sick bodies together, or wandering aimlessly, the biggest source of light and heat in a dark environment is actually the flame that humans have started to use a million years ago.
Maybe it was because of the huge psychological gap, or maybe it was because they felt lucky to have survived the disaster for themselves and human civilization. After the truth was revealed by major media, the people who learned about the suffering the alien visitors were experiencing immediately made many comments. In response to calls to treat aliens kindly, related humanitarian relief agencies were quickly established under the supervision of the South African government and the United Nations.
But the number of these sudden alien refugees has reached one million, and the financially strapped South African government has been unable to come up with a plan to properly resettle them in a short period of time. In addition to providing them with a large number of inferior tents and plastic sheds for wind and rain protection, Outside, the best that relief agencies that don't understand the refugees can do is provide them with enough food to fill their stomachs.
In order to prevent some humans with malicious intentions from approaching this increasingly chaotic temporary refugee camp, and also to prevent the refugees from fleeing and causing social unrest, towering walls and barbed wire soon appeared around the camp, and the garrison was composed of South African troops. Constituted with United Nations peacekeeping forces.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. These refugees who were in need of humanitarian assistance not long ago quickly regained their strength after receiving sufficient nutrition, and used it in destructive activities that they considered "entertainment", setting fire to Trucks filled with relief supplies and trains derailed were among them.
Especially when an alarming number of alien weapons flowed into the refugee camps due to insufficient inspections, the destructive factors in the refugees' bodies that had to be temporarily hidden due to hunger and disease were fully and completely released.
Concrete walls cannot withstand powerful alien weapons at all, and most of the time even the local army cannot compete with large-scale alien mobs. During the riots, the mob was able to walk to all towns within hundreds of kilometers of Johannesburg with just their strong feet and commit vicious crimes such as robbery, arson, and murder.
When guests are no longer guests, when the docile refugees who were thought to be able to live in peace turn into alien mobs that do all kinds of evil, burning, killing and looting wantonly on human land, the direction of the government and the people has instantly shifted to the completely opposite direction. The other side.
It was also from this time on that the alien refugees, who had been unable to agree on the naming of various countries, received a derogatory name from the people, "shrimp people", sometimes also called "prawns", "shrimps", etc.
The reason for this name is not only because their appearance and hard carapace are very similar to lobsters, but it also implies humans' disgust and disdain for the fact that they like to eat kitchen waste.
In order to capture all the escaped shrimpers and bring them back to the refugee camps, the South African government immediately sought help from Western countries. In the face of the modern coalition forces composed of multinational forces, the unorganized riots were quickly suppressed and extinguished. Any shrimp man who dares to have a head-on conflict with the coalition forces, without exception, will not escape death even if he surrenders in the end.
After the apocalyptic riots subsided, the Western countries, as the biggest contributors, jointly established a giant multinational enterprise called Multinational United Organization, or MNU for short. Shortly after that, the South African government handed over all shrimp-related matters to MNU.
In this way, time passed quickly like running water. Twenty years later, the shrimp people, with a population of more than 1.8 million, still failed to get everything that humans promised when they left the spacecraft, but everyone believed that it was their own fault.
The refugee camp that was renamed "District 9" has now become a huge slum with a scale rarely seen in the world. Tens of thousands of shrimp people are tightly locked in it by reinforced walls and the MNU mercenary army, and are struggling to survive. , from time to time, they are also subject to armed searches by mercenaries in the name of "maintaining human security." Naturally, the results of the searches are mostly alien weapons and high-tech items that are coveted by many people.
Considering that humanitarian principles no longer apply to the shrimp people, in order to solve the food and security problems in the slums, the South African government, which does not want to spend more financially, has no choice but to turn a blind eye to the increasingly severe underworld activities behind the walls. The relationship between gangsters and shrimp people using each other is tacitly accepted.
As for why these shrimp people parked their spacecraft on the earth, and why the spacecraft failed to operate normally and made it difficult for them to return home, human experts have come up with thousands of reasonable explanations, but no one can really solve it. The conflict between shrimps and humans.
After interviewing some people who witnessed the landing of the spacecraft twenty years ago, the soldiers of the Imperial Vanguard also got a very interesting statement-shortly after the spacecraft stopped in the air, there was a piece of land that was extremely small compared to the mother ship. Tiny pieces break out of it.
Some people thought it was a small spacecraft used to communicate with the ground, but more people thought it was the command module of the spacecraft. It was its fall off that made the giant saucer-shaped ship with a diameter of four kilometers unable to move.
As for what the real reason is, the imperial soldiers who are unfamiliar with the place dare not make any judgments. Therefore, they choose to hand over all the information they have discovered so far to the group that is still behind the scenes for analysis, so that they can be analyzed by people who are smarter and more capable than them. Those who knew the secret issued further orders.
"They have done a great job and deserve to be called the elite of the empire."
While Yang Tianyi was flipping through the latest news brought to him by the soldiers of the Immortal Army, he held his head and said to Edward in another world in his mind: "Although the real enemy has not yet appeared, this is already better than we previously guessed. The extreme situation is much better, isn't it? At least the group has the ability to directly wipe out the indigenous forces on the earth."
"Besides, if it's District 9, as far as I know, there are a lot of things in this world that are worthy of our in-depth exploration. I think the database that MNU has been running for twenty years is a good target. There must be a lot of information about shrimp people in it. Fierce news.”
Standing up from his seat, Yang Tianyi turned around to face the seemingly stationary asteroid belt outside the window, and made a calculation in his mind - after all, when he first discovered the shrimp man spacecraft, according to the technological level of the indigenous people in this world, he was higher than The group came to deduce the situation, but thanks to the Imperial Army's intelligence work, he now has the ability to formulate better plans for the group.
"In the near future, I will send part of my force to the earth to make disguises and lay a solid foundation for future wars. As for the Immortal Army." Yang Tianyi paused at this point, shook his head and did not issue a direct order.
"Although I have the highest command authority, you are their emperor, and I will not interfere with their actions for the time being. But again, in order to prevent the group from being exposed prematurely, I will not provide them with any form of help until the last moment. . This is our agreement from the beginning, and it is also the request you made to me."
"Let us wait and see whether they can survive and fight independently after degrouping!"
First latest.
