794. Another kind of living dead
Without saying a word, Baloyi quickly called over a dozen soldiers and rode the Zephyr-G hoverbike towards the mining area at high speed. The clone commander continued to stay in this colonial town and established a forward base.
The mining area is about 20 kilometers away from the town. Baloyi and others drove at full speed and arrived in a few minutes.
Sure enough, as soon as we arrived at the mining area, we saw that the outside of the mining area was densely covered with steel spikes 3 to 4 meters long. These steel thorns are fixed with tripods, and a corpse is impaled on each steel thorn!
Baloyi picked up the telescope and looked carefully. He found that all the corpses were shriveled and withered, their hair fell off, and their clothes were all thrown away. What was also scary was that the main muscle groups and joints of the corpses were covered with tiny blue light spots. , which makes these corpses look extremely horrific.
"What...what is this? Is it a religious act? Or is it a demonstration?" a clone soldier cried out.
"Attention, I feel a great danger." Baloyi said in a deep voice, "You stay on guard, I will go and take a look myself."
"General..."
Baloyi waved his hand to interrupt the soldier, "No need to say more, I am alone, and I have a greater chance of escaping."
He drove his hoverbike to the large piece of steel spikes, examined it carefully, and tried to knock down one of the spikes to get the body off it.
However, at this moment, these steel thorns suddenly moved!
The steel thorns began to shrink section by section, and then the corpses were lowered one by one.
After the last section of the steel thorn shrank, the body that fell to the ground suddenly turned over and got up. A terrifying roar came from its throat, and it rushed towards Baloyi!
Buzz! ! The blue lightsaber shot out, instantly cutting one of the corpses in half. Baloyi quickly swung his lightsaber while retreating, cutting down all the moving corpses to the ground.
However, the terrifying thing is that those chopped down corpses are still moving. Even if their heads are chopped off, their bodies are still moving. A gurgling, thick green liquid flowed out of their severed bodies, and they had no idea what it was.
The dozen clone soldiers behind them immediately opened fire for reinforcements. They concentrated their firepower and knocked down a large number of corpses closest to Baloyi, shouting loudly, "General! Come back quickly! Quick! There are too many of them!!"
Indeed, the thousands of steel spikes around them are shrinking one by one, putting down corpses one by one, and rushing towards this side crazily.
Baloyi fought and retreated, but the corpses were almost endless, killing one group after another.
At this moment, he suddenly felt an extremely strong crisis. He turned around and saw several corpses with red light emitting from small devices rushing towards him from several directions!
The sense of crisis in Baloyi's heart became stronger and stronger. He subconsciously raised his hand and a powerful force wave was sent out, blowing all the corpses away.
However, a sudden change occurred!
As soon as the force wave came into contact with those red corpses, they exploded!
boom! boom! boom! ! ! !
The power of the explosion was extremely powerful, and it carried a strong electromagnetic pulse. Baloyi, who was not far away from them, was directly blown several meters away, and his body was burned by the electric current.
Even if this explosion explodes next to a tank, the strong electromagnetic pulse can directly paralyze the tank!
In other words, these modified corpses even have anti-armor capabilities!
Baloyi was horrified, rolled to his feet, and quickly fled backwards without caring about anything else. The clone soldiers had also activated the Zephyr-G hoverbike and began to retreat. The clone captain directly drove the motorcycle past Baloyi and stretched out his hand.
Baloyi grabbed his hand and flipped into the back seat.
The corpses behind him were still in hot pursuit.
"Go back quickly!! The reason why the colony is empty has been made clear! We need to retreat immediately and ask for reinforcements!" Baloyi said loudly.
"yes!!"
They returned to the colony all the way, and it was still calm there. The clone soldiers were carrying equipment and supplies from the spacecraft, using construction machinery to push some vehicles over to seal the intersection, and using portable energy barriers to establish fire points.
Baloyi and others came back in a hurry and shouted loudly before getting off the car: "Retreat! Retreat immediately!!"
The clone commander saw Baloyi's embarrassed appearance with burns all over his body. His military qualities made him make a decisive decision and immediately said: "Everyone, discard the supplies! Emergency retreat!!"
"yes!"
At the same time, the spacecraft on alert in the sky over the town also sent a communication, "A large number of figures appeared in the direction of the mining area, heading towards the colony! The number... Oh my God, there are tens of thousands of people! Are they those townspeople?"
"They are dead! Retreat!" Baloyi shouted.
The clone troopers moved very quickly. Within half an hour, they dropped all their supplies and returned to the spacecraft. When the spaceship took off, Baloyi also connected to the headquarters' communication and reported the situation in the colony.
[A moving corpse? We have found these on the battlefields of the planet Christophsis and the planet Terminus. According to our research, they should be biological weapons made by the separatists and formed after infecting other organisms. Perhaps your area is a separatist experiment that needs serious attention. 】A combat commander from the Republic's Supreme Strategic Command said in the communication.
"I think we are not encountering zombies infected by the virus... The strength, speed and toughness of the corpses that appeared in the colony of Valk's planet are far superior to zombies, and some of the types that can self-destruct even produce electromagnetic waves when they explode. Pulse. It looks to me like these bodies are more like half mechanical," Baloyi said.
[Okay, the image data you provided is a bit vague, but we will organize research immediately. You stay where you are, we are mobilizing local defense fleets from nearby star areas to come for reinforcements. An emergency military meeting will be held in the afternoon, and the matter of Valk Planet will also be submitted for discussion as one of the bills. 】The combat commander said.
"Okay, I will stay put and monitor whether there are any separatist warships nearby." After Baloyi finished speaking, he turned off the communication.
At this time, a communications soldier turned back and said: "General, we have received a distress signal."
"Distress signal? What is it? Where is it?" Baloyi asked.
"There is no content, just asking for help. The location is near Planet 3 of the current Valk system, close to the asteroid belt. According to the identification code, it is a mining spacecraft in the Valk planet colony." said the communications soldier.
"Anyway, we can only wait now. Let's go and take a look. If there are survivors, maybe we can ask what happened in the planet colony." Baloyi nodded and said.
