The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

793. Land of Death

A gust of wind blew, and a bunch of dead leaves and dust were rolled up among the bushes on the side, and they flew to the smooth road, making a rustling sound.

[Cleaning robot 003 is working, please avoid pedestrians... Cleaning robot 003 is working, please pedestrians avoid...] The broadcast of the cleaning robot sounded at the right time, and at the same time there was a slight sound of the engine.

This is a colony, almost all buildings are metal modular, generally no more than three stories high. A sizable small town has been formed here, with everything you need in the town, the holographic advertisements on both sides of the street are still flashing, and many buildings are still lit.

Although it is already noon in this place.

A sign that said the bar was open from evening to early morning local time was still flashing, and the automatic door of the bar kept opening and closing, and the motor whined.

Looking again, I found that a high stool commonly used in bars was thrown at the door. It was because of this high stool that the automatic door kept opening and closing.

The automatic door kept beeping softly to remind the staff to deal with the blockage as soon as possible, but it was ignored at all.

There was no one on the street, and there were no hovering cars or spaceships flying by in the sky, which was completely contrary to the usual prosperity and busyness of this mining colony.

There was a burnt smell coming from a nearby restaurant, and some communicators, purses, and even shoes could be seen scattered on the ground. The broadcast of the cleaning robot that wanted to clean the street was still going on, but it never went to clean it—— The robot has been damaged, the whole body has been shattered, only the head with the sensor installed is still talking.

And near the center of the colonial town, a large number of burn marks began to appear on the walls of the surrounding buildings, which were marks formed by the blaster rifles or laser guns, and more and more things were scattered on the ground, becoming more and more messy .

There are damaged blaster rifles, some helmets and ammunition boxes thrown on the ground, and even two blown up E-WEB heavy blaster machine guns can be seen. There was some blood on the ground but not much, and with both sides using blaster rifles or plasma weapons, the bloodshed had been reduced a lot.

Behind the bunker built by three portable energy shields, a military communicator fell to the ground, and the only sign of life along the way could be seen here—a solitary palm.

[Zi~~~Valker No.1 Zi~~~, Valk No.1, please Zi~~~ answer! Zi~~~ Please report the local situation immediately! Walker No. 1 Zi~~~! 】There are still calls coming from the severely disturbed communication.

But no one can answer anymore.

More than ten minutes later, several spaceships landed at the spaceport outside the town, and then hundreds of clone soldiers wearing white combat armor dismounted from the spaceships.

The leader was a middle-aged human Jedi.

They quickly checked the town, but there was only dead silence.

"General Baloy, it is confirmed that there is no one in the town, but there are signs of fighting. It is a little strange that this seems to be a fierce battle, and there is not even a single corpse left." The clone commander walked over Said to the Jedi Knight.

"It would be understandable if the other party took all the people away, but it's hard for me to think of the reason why they took away the corpses." Baloy said with a frown.

"Maybe there are some clues on the corpse that the other party doesn't want us to know? Such as scars?" The clone commander thought.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Baloy said, "Recently, there have been more and more attacks in the Perrin sector, but why did the separatists attack here? It is obviously located in the wild star field, and it does not have much strategic value. .Or, it wasn't the separatists who did it?"

"Unless we capture the attacker, this question will never be answered," said the clone commander.

"The inspection of weapons and ballistics has already begun." A clone technician walked over and said.

"Say." Barloy nodded.

"Look here." The clone technicians brought them to a wall, pointed to the burn marks on the wall and said, "Here are the marks of the EE-3 and EE-4 blaster rifles, about 20 Shooting around 100 meters will cause such diffuse traces, because at this distance, the explosive gas has not fully reacted, so the engagement distance of this battle is not long. There are two possibilities, the first is a surprise attack, and the second, It’s just that the opponent’s speed is very fast.”

The clone technician pointed in another direction, "Look at this again, there are traces of high-temperature melting on the wall, which are not traces produced by the blaster rifle. Because the blaster rifle will explode after hitting the target, it will not happen like this Focusing on the burning and melting, we judged that it was a laser weapon or a plasma weapon. Then, according to the ballistic analysis, the height of the opponent is about 2 meters."

"Then, we found some footprints in this bush. Judging from the footprints, the other party weighed about 100Kg, had three toes, and had anti-joints on the feet. The joints were very flexible, not quite mechanical, but the traces were neat It can be seen that it is a very hard thing, and it is currently impossible to judge whether the opponent has mechanical feet or wears shoes."

Baloy said: "So, the attacker is about 2 meters tall, walks upright with anti-jointed bipedal legs, and has three toes on his feet... Is there any result from the database comparison?"

"The conditions are not enough, and there is no result. But it can only be said that among the known intelligent races in the Milky Way, there are very few anti-joint bipeds. If it must be said, the Kilik people hundreds of thousands of years ago are in the ruins of some ethnic groups. There are some similar structures on it, but they can't match exactly." The technical soldier said.

"Is it more likely that the other party is a robot or an intelligent creature?" Barloy asked, "I can't feel the breath of life."

"At present, the possibility of robots is not very high. Because robots can't be so clean and neat, and they leave almost no traces. Therefore, I tend to think that it is an attack by an unknown race in a wild star field, and the other party Maybe there is a part of the genes of the Kilik people." The clone technician said.

Baloy pondered.

A hoverbike approached at high speed, and the clone troopers jumped out of the car and shouted, "General! General!! I found those people! I found the corpses!!"

"Where is it?" Baroy asked hurriedly.

"The mining area! Outside the mining area! There are many! There are at least a few thousand!" said the soldier.

"I noticed something wrong with your wording, are you sure you said that?" Baloy stared at the soldier.

"You can see it in the past! The situation...is very strange." The soldier thought for a while, and then described: "The corpses...the corpses are all pierced on top of steel rods!"
