Him and their stars

The so-called haunting incident was already the fifteenth day after the last refugee incident. Because this group of refugees who escaped from the galaxy have been safely sent to the refugee camp on the surface of the planet for isolation. Although the refugees were a little nervous, there was no commotion as the leaders of the group reassured them.

The empire said that it likes this kind of refugees the most. As long as they don't make trouble and obey the orders given by the above, they are of course good refugees.

Of course, out of humanitarian considerations - of course, mainly because a considerable part of this group of refugees are humans - the fortress also sent them basic supplies and medical care, and even some leisure terminals and books, etc. Everyone is at peace with each other.

The imperial government's work efficiency has always been very high. Within a few days, the identities of most of the refugees were confirmed. They were citizens of various countries abducted by predators over the years.

Their leader was the person who talked to the fortress, or even an empire citizen. His name is Dr. Xie Yiwei, and he immigrated to the Empire three generations ago. His great-grandfather was a well-known navigator, and his grandfather and father were both well-known local businessmen and squires. As for himself, he was a university master who received a doctorate from the Royal Academy of Engineering. Later, he joined the Hand of Glory Design Bureau and was one of the designers of the famous Apocalypse Eagle-class destroyer.

It can be seen that since the Xie family immigrated from Earth, their class has been improving with each generation. If the destiny can be maintained as it is, maybe ten generations later, the Earl of Yongdi will not be the most beautiful.

It's a pity that they encountered the large-scale predator invasion eighteen years ago.

This already somewhat famous ship designer disappeared during the raider invasion. The Hand of Glory Design Bureau sadly held a funeral for him and applied for a medal, but they never expected that he was still alive.

The design bureau doesn't think there's anything embarrassing about holding a funeral for a living person. Anyway, this kind of mistake has never happened before. On the contrary, they are happy to have a good ship designer return.

However, the problem here is still the same. From the perspective of national defense security and epidemic prevention, the refugees still have to stay in the refugee camp for a period of time until the intelligence personnel and three-prevention experts have completed the investigation.

But no matter what, it was generally peaceful, and everyone in the fortress felt a little relieved, and focused on the "Glory Mission" military exercise that was about to end.

Before Luyuan Star, after Admiral Farrell of the red side finally achieved a decisive victory in the fleet battle, the officers and soldiers on the fortress were all beaming with joy, and for a moment they actually felt a sense of honor.

Although they did not participate in the exercise, according to the setting, the red team's headquarters was located in the Lion's Den Fortress. Based on this, wouldn't the officers and soldiers on the fortress also be considered members of the Red Party? Well, there’s nothing wrong with logic!

Seeing that the soldiers were so excited, traditional veterans like General Celerius also felt that everything was calm now, but there was no need to pour cold water on everyone at this time, so they allowed extra meals and half a day's leave.

Of course, vacations have to take turns. As for extra meals... As long as the imperial army is not a slave soldier with little human rights, the overall treatment is still very good, at least the nutrition of the meal is definitely up to par. And the so-called extra meal, of course, means drinking wine. Of course, even officers can only have one glass of low-alcohol fruit wine, which even a cat can't get drunk on, and some personnel on combat readiness duty in critical positions will never allow it.

All in all, we have to admit that as the most powerful armed force known in the universe, the imperial army maintains the most basic combat readiness at all times. Coupled with the Lion's Den Fortress with advanced equipment and complete facilities, it stands to reason that it should not be What could go wrong.

However, the problem still appeared.

The first thing to happen was the three young lieutenants who were on leave. After they had had enough wine and food, they didn't plan to go to the surface entertainment area of ​​Yuanxiang City to relax, so they just went to the lounge to play cards, watch TV and play games. In this way, even if something goes wrong, you can return to work immediately. This is really a very responsible young man.

However, what we need to know is that this is a military garrison, and almost all places are monitored, including the soldiers' dormitories and toilets and bathhouses. There is no rest room that is only used by officers.

...After all, this is an empire. Officers are most likely citizens rather than nobles, so they still need some respectability.

The three young officers went to play in the lounge on the 12th floor of the fortress. At that time, there were just three of them in the lounge.

However, half a day passed, and when the prescribed time for changing the guard came, their colleagues could not wait for them to return to their posts, so they went to look for them, but found nothing.

Surveillance video showed that they indeed entered the lounge and never came out. However, the three officers seemed to have been hidden by gods, and there was no trace.

Before the military police of the fortress could start to solve the "missing incident of three officers", a "murder incident in the secret room of the soldiers' dormitory" occurred in a soldiers' dormitory.

In a locked dormitory room with sentries and security robots patrolling the corridors at all times, twelve fortress guards who were resting were all dead. Most of the bodies were in terrible condition, as if they had been torn apart by wild beasts. Only one of them had a complete body, but only a hole was dug out of his neck.

Then, according to the surveillance video, the murderer was this Wolfgang soldier. He suddenly woke up from his sleep, and went crazy as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. He killed the six humans in the same dormitory, two Sumilans, a Flemor, a Kimyan and a Togru. Everyone was killed.

As we all know, the Wolfgangs are a warrior race that is very similar to the werewolves in mythology. The brute strength of the single-wheeled race is indeed at this level. What's more, his comrades are still sleeping.

...Well, don't pay too much attention to why soldiers of so many races live in the same dormitory. You know, strictly speaking, they are all demi-human races. They have similar life spans and similar living habits. Even their eating habits are similar. Of course, they can live together. What's more, these soldiers belong to the fortress defense force and are formed as stormtroopers. Their treatment is slightly higher than that of slave soldiers and cannon fodder. Such treatment is already very good.

This is the military after all. Even sailors and other technical units with higher professional requirements often have to mix and match with different races even though they live in a room of four.

Of course, if it were an officer, a citizen or even a noble, it would be another matter.

In short, this Wolfgang stormtrooper who suddenly went crazy killed all his comrades in his squad in just half a minute. Then, he tore the neck open without hesitation, leaving an ending full of supernatural realism to this secret room murder incident.

The murderer's body was sent to the laboratory for autopsy and examination, but nothing was found.

Then, an unknown infectious disease appeared on the fortress. In a relatively closed environment like a space station, any large-scale disease is enough to attract the attention of the top command. Admiral Selerius gave an order, and the entire fortress was quickly mobilized. Everyone put on protective clothing and isolated the patients in a separate area.

However, after the collective action of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers across the fortress ended, it was discovered that a dozen people were missing. After checking the surveillance, we couldn't even find when he disappeared.

Then, something happened to the patients who were isolated in separate cabins. Several of the seriously ill Legg giants experienced a wonderful rent-back phenomenon. Their bodies expanded nearly twice, and they transformed from long-haired walrus-men who walked upright into... well, tusked walrus monsters that could run on all fours and walk as fast as flying. A killing spree in the ward.

By the time soldiers wearing protective suits and warning robots arrived, fewer than ten of the hundreds of patients and medical staff isolated in this cabin were alive.

At this point, even the most capable commander could not stop the rumors from spreading throughout the fortress. Fortunately, most of the people stationed in the fortress were elite troops from the empire, and the officers at all levels were also very good, so the rumors did not lead to uncontrollable panic.

However, panic that can be controlled is still a type of panic. Anyway, the legend of the haunting of Lion's Den Fortress has become widespread.

This is also easy to understand! There are more than 200,000 soldiers in the fortress and twice that number of various robots. They have conducted a comprehensive search of every sewer and exhaust pipe in the fortress for more than three days, but still found nothing. Other than being haunted, what other explanation is there?

Admiral Selerius felt that even if it was a ghost, as long as it dared to show itself, the Imperial soldiers could still throw it into the reactor to generate electricity. But the premise is that it must really show up.

The experienced veteran suddenly realized that all these strange things seemed to only happen after those galactic refugees entered the country.

"However, they are all in the refugee camp in the distant country. They have never been anywhere, let alone the fortress. Moreover, nothing happened there." Brigadier General Kesore, the security director of the fortress, reminded.

Admiral Selerius said that he knew, but after thinking for a moment, he still issued the order to enter martial law on Fargo and Fargo City in low-Earth orbit. At the same time, they also contacted the refugee camp and asked to speak to their leader, Dr. Xie Yiwei, alone.

The latter soon appeared on the holographic projection of real-time communication. He is a man in his early sixties, of medium height, thin and lanky. He has an elegant temperament but does not appear weak. He looks like a powerful person.

Of course, it would be strange if he were not a human being who could lead a group of refugees to escape from the looters.

The two exchanged polite greetings, and then the general got straight to the point and asked:

"Doctor, during the period when you were about to take out the galactic core, did you notice any unusual events?"

"Are you referring to... the emergence of a new Great Khan? I can only confirm that the new Great Khan is an Eero and a woman." The doctor said: "However, the giants of Myshandar and the Beato people They are not very willing to obey this new female khan."

"We already know this." Admiral Selerius said: "I mean, some other weird trends. Anything, especially during the period before you set off."

Dr. Xie suddenly showed a helpless expression: "General, I am just a slave kidnapped by the plunderers. Although I can help them repair the ship and receive some preferential treatment, my living space is restricted, so naturally I can't find out any information. .”

At this time, he suddenly thought of something and said thoughtfully: "It's not that it's impossible, but I'm not sure if it's true, and I don't know if it's useful."

"I said, anything is fine." Admiral Selerius said.
