Chapter 98 Shocked
"It uses anti-gravity technology? And it is a mass-produced type that can be used on a large scale. Yes, interstellar battleships can be manufactured. It is not surprising that there are breakthroughs and mastery of this type of technology."
Du Jin thought thoughtfully as he looked at the armored aerial vehicle that gradually came to a stop but still kept a certain distance from the ground. Then the door of the aerial vehicle automatically rose upwards, and a short step slid out from the bottom of the door. , the woman in a white officer uniform who had escorted Du Jin to the "Guest Reception Area" slowly stepped out of the car. Several soldiers equipped with heavy exoskeleton armor were fully armed and guarding the surroundings. Most pedestrians seemed to be used to it. Except for some children and young people who cast curious glances, most of the others didn't pay much attention to this area, but they didn't show much resistance or fear.
“Military actions are common, but people don’t rule them out?”
The reaction of these people gave Du Jin an intuitive understanding of Ganymede's folk customs and the image of the army. The female officer held a box in her hand and walked towards Du Jin. Du Jin immediately guessed what was inside. Maybe it was the upgraded smart terminal that made him feel uncomfortable with the lack of "Xiao Ai". Not only because of the powerful assistance ability of "Xiao Ai", in the world of blood seal, Du Jin's scientific research will bring all The "partner" who has revealed all the secrets and does not need to be alert is actually only "Xiao Ai" at this stage. He has completely regarded "Xiao Ai" as his partner or even his family, so Du Jin is still a little excited at this time He took a few steps forward, his longing for the return of "Xiao Ai" beyond words.
At this moment, the heavily armed soldiers seemed to have noticed something, and immediately gathered from the loose formations around them, guarding the female officer behind them, and then retreated in the direction of the armored aerial vehicle behind them while guarding the surrounding area. , this scene left Du Jin in a daze for a moment.
"This...could there be a mutation in me?"
Du Jin stretched out his hand nervously to check his condition. Looking at his arms and body, which were no different from those under normal circumstances, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had seen McCas before on the "Eden". The scene of mutation after being infected, that kind of bloody mutation, Du Jin didn't want to happen to him. It was not only bloody, but the kind of mutation that appeared in his body but could not be stopped was definitely unbearable.
After checking that there was nothing wrong with him, Du Jin immediately realized that the abnormalities in those soldiers came from other people or things. He guessed that these soldiers might have prepared some specific detection equipment that could detect certain threats in advance.
"Threat? What is it......"
Before Du Jin started thinking, he found that his surroundings began to be covered by a hazy red mist, and some whispers came from his ears, but he did not hear the content of these words, he just felt a little shuddering. But those pedestrians were not so relaxed. Du Jin could see from the vague figures in the fog that the pedestrians covered their ears and knelt on the ground, as if they were suffering from some great pain. Several women and children could only fall to the ground and kept falling. twitching, and what really made Du Jin feel dangerous was that although these whispers could not affect him, these red weapons seemed to restrict his breathing, making every breath he took more and more difficult.
"No, it must be those people from the Unity Church."
Thinking of the vigilance in his heart just now, Du Jin can almost conclude that it is the believers of the blood seal. This kind of mental pollution and invasion cannot be caused by ordinary weapons. Du Jin has been affected by the blood seal before in this world. Spirit, but fortunately Si Qing was by his side at that time, and the "actual control" of the blood seal in this world was very weak. Apart from those few fragments, there was almost no other medium of influence, so even if the scene at that time It was much scarier and more frightening than the current red mist, but it only affected Du Jin alone at that time, and did not affect a whole street like it does now. This large-scale infection made Du Jin extremely serious.
But at this time, Du Jin did not expect that those from the Heyi Church would go to great lengths to capture him alive. He was simply because the target of the cult members was the female officer just now. Judging from the preparation and number of soldiers accompanying him, , Du Jin had the impression of "high status and great power" in his heart, so now Du Jin immediately ran in the direction of the officer just now, wanting to save that officer, well, actually now in Du Jin's heart He wanted to quickly get back the set of equipment that allowed "Xiao Ai" to come back online. Otherwise, if it was unfortunately damaged in the battle, Du Jin would have no place to cry. He didn't dare to bet that the Ganymede colony would lose another give him.
If the officer who was sent to deliver the equipment really had an accident, let alone compensation, the suspicion on Du Jin would not be wiped away.
"What a cruel move. The blood seal is trying to make me completely lose my footing."
.............................
Not far from Du Jin, a figure walked through the blood-red mist as if there was nothing there, without being affected in the slightest. The mist covered his face, but judging from his body shape, it could be seen that this He is very similar to the burly man who peeked at Du Jin in the bionic prosthetic shop just now. From the shadow of his face, you can vaguely see a few "hairs" that are obviously wrong and twisting on his head. Obviously it was definitely not a dead thing, but some kind of creature "parasitic" on it.
What is somewhat different from Du Jin's idea is that this man's goal is very clear, that is to capture Du Jin alive and deal with all the witnesses to prevent leaving evidence about the United Church. Governor Ganymede is very wary of the United Church. With the expansion of the One Church, as far as he knew, and then the incident of the federal warship's reckless attack on the "Xun Yang", the colonial governor, who had always regarded the Unity Church as a threat and doubt, would definitely start looking for opportunities to clean up the church's soil and foundation, so it is very important to clean up all the insiders without leaving any traces.
As for surveillance, the burly man is very confident in the ability bestowed by his superior "religion". No matter what kind of image collection equipment it is, he can only see everyone on the street spontaneously enter a certain state of "stress" and then die. And he could take the opportunity to take Du Jin away. Originally, he planned to wait for Du Jin to enter his residence, then rely on the church to open the alloy door of his residence in the colony, and then quietly take away the target to complete the mission assigned by the church. .
But the two armored aerial vehicles disrupted his chance. Looking at the heavily armed soldiers and officers, his first reaction was that the colony was going to take Du Jin away, maybe to move to a safer place, or maybe to find out He wanted to secretly study or execute Du Jin when he discovered some secrets, but no matter which possibility it was, it had an irreconcilable conflict with the mission of the church, so he immediately decided to take action. Under the influence of some kind of power, this man could rely on Some kind of indescribable parasite causes spiritual attack on the surrounding creatures, and then the "civilization" of the "Sacred Seal" will make these humans go crazy and die, and then their corpses will mutate and become a kind of The zombies, which exist for a short time and have relatively low attack power, cover his evacuation.
Since there is no "Holy Seal" to control and transform these Necromorphs within the scope of influence, the degree of mutation of these Necromorphs is very limited. Not to mention resisting kinetic energy weapons, blunt blows from some hard objects can render them incapacitated. ability, so after the man used the parasite, he headed towards his goal. The red mist had no effect on him, but was his best cover.
"what is that!"
A soldier discovered the man emerging from the red mist first, but in his eyes, the man had turned into an extremely huge monster. His burly body was bigger than a power mecha, and his body was constantly covered with unceasing waves. The wriggling tentacles rushed toward the soldier crazily, and countless human faces groaned in pain on the monster's body. The soldier even saw the faces of his wife and parents wrapped in it. His deep despair and fear left him with no courage at all. Raising the Gauss rifle in his hand, he could only watch the monster approaching step by step, as if it were a demon in the abyss.
Then not only this soldier, but other soldiers who heard the screams of their comrades also turned their attention to the man, but what they saw was also beyond their imagination. The image of the man in the blood mist was different for everyone. This kind of fear comes from the deepest darkness in their hearts, but no matter what kind of monster is in the darkness inside, the man in front of them almost makes them lose any will and hope to resist, and several of them can't even grasp it. He stopped the gun in his hand and threw it to the ground, which caused an irreversible hole in the formation of the escort female officer.
Unlike these soldiers, this officer's will was obviously very strong. Although the man who kept approaching in her eyes was also an indescribable monster: a cockroach with an extremely huge and terrifying will, this almost made her mind go blank. But out of fear, she noticed something strange about her body. Her whole body seemed to be imprisoned by something, and she couldn't control her legs at all.
"Is this... a nightmare? No! No, this is... from the Unity Church..."
As one of the high-ranking officers in the colony who knew part of the inside story of the Unity Church, she knew that there were indeed some unscientific methods within the Unity Church. However, she had never thought that they would be blatantly used by the Unity Church in the starport. Attack, but she noticed something strange from the box in her hand. As an internal affairs officer of Star Port, she often operates in the residential area of Star Port. Except for a few minor assassinations, the Unity Church is relatively restrained. Even the believers in the church center did not have the courage to confront the colonial authority behind her in public, but this time the cult members of the Unity Church were so bold, she immediately thought of Du Jin's identity.
"Du Jin...he must have a secret that makes those cult followers jealous, but I can't report it to...but I can't be captured alive."
With her amazing perseverance, the officer used all her strength to control her right hand and reach for the gun at her waist. She did not want to die under the interrogation of the Unity Church, let alone be subjected to some unknown method. The method was forced to become a tool to reach inside the colony. At this moment, she could only end all her worries with death. Even though she was very reluctant and afraid, her belief and responsibility towards the people and the colony, as well as towards the Xia Kingdom, It is still choosing between death and life, choosing the former.
