Section 685 Purification
Coxson said these words over and over again, and it seemed that his consciousness had fallen into a vague state.
Priest Torugar came over with a still-heating rifle, spat at Coxson, who could no longer stand up, and said hatefully: "We should be cursing you. You are the real devil."
Pharmacist Zhang Zhongyuan handed the weapons in his hand to a legion soldier, took out a set of field medical equipment from his backpack, and carefully collected fragment samples on the ground and on both sides of the rock walls. He is still confused by the mutations that occurred in Coxson, and these samples must be handed over to the legion headquarters together with the battle report. Perhaps, the Holy See will also send someone to inquire about this matter.
Putting a piece of fresh flesh into a vacuum sealed cabin, Zhang Zhongyuan stood up, walked to Su Hao who had been silent, and said in a low and self-blame voice: "Please forgive me for my previous unreasonableness and blind faith. The situation here is much worse than I imagined. We have to ask General Karakoff for help, and it is best to bring this guy's entire body back."
Su Hao shook his head gently: "Koxen's body is very big, and we have not found the root cause of his sudden mutation. Just bringing it back to the main world without authorization may cause some unpredictable trouble. You can take away some important internal organs for research, and the main part of the body remains here, and the National Defense Forces are responsible for the supervision. Report to the Legion Headquarters and the Inquisition Court. In addition, please ask the Imperial Academy for assistance."
Zhang Zhongyuan straightened his body, put doubts and hesitation aside. Although he was in a heavy mood, he still maintained essential respect and reason. He saluted Su Hao and said with regret: "I have seen the soldiers killed by Coxon. They are too young. This is their first time participating in the battle. Before the genetic glands are implanted, they have lost their cultivation foundation."
Each Legion warrior is a source of culture of gene glands. These glands are taken from biological slaves and implanted into the Legion warriors in the form of juvenile bodies. Due to the extent of their body's endurance, each Legion warrior can only implant two gene glands. They grow in their own brothers until they die in battle or mature.
The l18 team is a newly built tactical team. Everyone, including Su Hao, is a recruit. According to the Legion regulations, it is necessary to form an army for one year before the soldiers can carry the genetic glands implanted in the body. If there were no Coxson's accident this time, everyone would have survived well, and the l18 team would have expanded as a result.
Of course, Zhang Zhongyuan would not understand the problem that Su Hao was considering. Coxson's mutation made Su Hao feel extremely bad. Of course, Coxson's crazy before was somewhat understandable. Su Hao just felt that he had to find a way that was most beneficial to him and remove the responsibility from it. But now, Coxson's sudden mutation made Su Hao see another change in things. He never thought about it, and was even reluctant to believe that it was true.
Coxson was rotting. He hit at least a thousand bullets on his body, but he was still alive. The powerful gun bullets tore the body and the internal organs were blown into a blur. When Zhang Zhongyuan collected the samples just now, Su Hao noticed that Coxson's heart and other parts had long been broken and completely lost their blood supply ability. However, Coxson was still breathing and could even speak.
Su Hao has also seen similar situations on earth.
Coxson turned into a zombie.
Su Hao didn't know if his guess was correct? But there was no doubt that only the word "zombie" really fits Coxon's current physical changes. He almost all rotted, and even got shot several times in the head. The reason why Su Hao came over and shot at the back of his head was to confirm his guess. Seeing that Coxon could still speak after being shot, Su Hao was filled with shock. This situation completely overturned his past experience and also meant that there might be no weakness for suddenly mutated monsters like Coxon.
Should he be considered a zombie? Or a mutant creature?
Could it be that the nightmare on Earth must continue to this day and spread throughout this world?
Of course, it is not completely helpless to deal with this mutant monster. The Legion-style high-temperature flame gun is the best weapon, and no plague virus can survive in a high temperature environment. This seems to have become a common example that must be followed between different worlds. Mutant monsters may have no natural enemies, but they must fear flames, fear the strong high temperatures and heat energy as strong as the sun.
Su Hao remained silent, and this state lasted for nearly a minute. At this moment, a short minute seemed extremely long, and the cold mountain wind seemed to be completely stagnant. Everyone was watching him, waiting for the orders from Su Hao.
Here, Su Hao is the supreme commander.
"Closed this cave."
It took a long time before Su Hao took his eyes back from the half-dead Coxon. He looked around and said in a loud voice that everyone in the tunnel heard: "Build a quarantine station near the entrance of the cave, and everyone entering this area must undergo inspection. If anyone refuses to obey, kill them all."
The incident in the P-A UU space attracted high attention from the "Iron Warriors" Legion and the Holy See. Three hours after the emergency communication was issued, the first batch of legion reinforcements had already passed through the space gate and arrived at the P-A UU space. What surprised Su Hao was that the leader was his acquaintance, Dai Xiaolou, the chief of the Legion Intelligence Department. He brought a whole combat company and reinforcements from hundreds of legion soldiers.
The degree of importance the Holy See to this matter can be seen from the reinforcements sent at the same time. They sent a senior deacon, together with a purification team composed of ten armed clergy. Among the military groups of the Empire, this part of the power belonging to the Holy See is called the "Purification Knight". They are based on the Holy See and the Inquisition and are organized into an independent priest legion. The power armor of the Purification Knight is very good, and some performance indexes are even better than the standard configuration of the main legion. The Purification Knight can move in any environment without worrying about being damaged. In terms of specific performance, this thick armor belongs to the category of heavy armor. Although it can withstand dense fire attacks, it loses the necessary flexibility. In order to change this situation, the Holy See uses special means to comprehensively transform these power armors. This design has passed the repeated actual combat inspections and is a successful work. The design has never changed since then, until now.
Of course, the power armor of the Purification Knight is not much different from the appearance of the Legion, but there are differences in the application of artificial muscle fiber technology.
Deacon Nashbar is an elder with a kind face. He has many wrinkles on his face, his hair has turned gray, and his hair is slightly lost in the temples on both sides, but all this does not damage his charm. His cheeks are compact in profile, and many people always feel like a father when they first see him.
"I'm very happy to see you, Captain Su Hao."
Holding Deacon Nashbar's hand, Su Hao felt a warmth coming from his palm. The power armor on the deacon was highly modified and had relief patterns in various religious styles. On both sides of his shoulders and on his knees, standard Vatican badges were carved. On his chest was a cross-sacred gun pattern wrapped by a bouquet of thorns.
During the long historical process of the third stage of the world, a lot of information has disappeared in the long river of time. According to legend, the order for the formation of the Purification Knights was personally issued by the Emperor himself, and the specific time was approximately after the Second Battle with the Dark World. This army was directly under the Holy See. Regarding the first legion commander, the most powerful Purification Knight leader in the legend, his genes came from a very rare way, that is, he was taken from the Emperor himself. After gene reconciliation, he became the original source of the Purification Knights.
"We, like you, have absolute loyalty to the emperor, courage to resolutely, and a firm belief that will not be shaken under any circumstances."
Nashbar looked at Su Hao with a smile and said seriously: "We will not be confused, nor have any purifying knights betrayed the emperor because of the temptation of the devil. We are all the same."
This is the most commonly used opening remark when the Purification Knights come into contact with friendly forces, and it is also a preliminary test process for identifying whether the friendly forces have been polluted and have changed. Considering the special physique of the Purification Knights, the Purification Knight recruits will be tested more severely than the Legion Warriors and undergo the most advanced gene enhancement surgery and thought enhancement surgery. Even under normal conditions, there are hundreds of mental pressure rituals to prove that their abilities are stronger than the Legion Warriors, and they are enough to bear the glory of the Purification Knights. However, this cannot be considered as
All the tests. After passing the test, they must also eliminate most of their memory and personality traits to ensure absolute loyalty to the emperor. For this strict screening method, every purifying knight has extraordinary mental abilities. They are all mental attackers, and they can potentially cause dangerous enemies to launch non-substantive weapons attacks. Death, dizziness, and madness. If you master the mental attack technology more proficiently, you may even cause the object of attack to be confused, thus temporarily becoming a special situation for your own members.
The moment of shaking hands, Deacon Nashbar had already used spiritual detection on Su Hao. This is of course not a mental attack in the conventional sense, nor is it a thinking consciousness search used by the "worker bees" on the earth's evolution. Nashbar's spiritual search is directive and has an effect on Su Hao's divergence of thinking. In the Holy See's classics, if the object being detected appears confused, hatred, or even crazy at this time, it means that he has been infected and belongs to the object that must be purified immediately.
"Praise the glory of the emperor, which has always guided us to victory and will never be tempted by the devil."
Su Hao also responded with a smile. Although this program seems cumbersome, he does not feel disgusted, and even thinks it is an indispensable spiritual cleansing. Especially after experiencing the bloody battle of the fortress on the top of the mountain and the cruel killing caused by the Coxon mutation, Su Hao felt even more needed this spiritual comfort.
Perhaps, this is the uniqueness of the third stage world, and it is also the charm of the lofty and extremely mysterious emperor.
Deacon Nashbar still had a smile on his face, but his expression was much deeper than before. He looked around and reduced the volume of the conversation to a level that two people could hear, but would not spread around him anymore.
"Captain, I've heard some stories about you. The dark world is very interested in you, and this is not a good thing. Although we are not afraid of danger, it is never pleasant to appear around us all the time."
Deacon Nashbar obviously had no malice, and his words also revealed his concern for Su Hao: "If you need it, just speak up. You are not polluted, which is a good thing. As long as there is no change at this point, things will be easier to deal with than imagined."
Su Hao was somewhat uncomfortable with the care of a stranger. He maintained the essential etiquette, was very cautious, and asked curiously: "If I remember correctly, it seems that this is our first time meeting?"
"I and the Bishop of Modilinia used to work together in an Inquisition."
Nashbar smiled and solved the puzzle for him: "Modilinia remembers you very deeply about your performance in Camp 10. He told me that you are a good person. Haha, I have known Modilinia for so many years, and I rarely hear such comments about someone from him."
Su Hao suddenly realized.
"Now, let's talk about the polluted person."
The hour hand has pointed to ten o'clock in the morning. The space of Paka UU is still cloudy, which has become the norm of space weather. However, the dim sky always makes people feel uncomfortable, just like night is about to fall.
The light softly illuminated everything in the room, with bright but not strong light, without strong ultraviolet rays. When Su Hao walked in with Deacon Nashbar and Dai Xiaolou, everyone saw the iron cage set in the center of the room and the Coxon trapped in it.
His rot became more serious than in the past few hours. The muscles on his thighs and arms fell, and white bones were exposed in many places. The shooting effect obviously did not have any effect on Coxson. Among the rotten pus and blood flowing to the ground, there were a large number of bullets and metal fragments rolling down from his body. What really worked for Coxson should be the shots Su Hao shot at his head. He lay on the ground dyingly, and his brain injury was not recovered. Only the remaining one-eyed eye, through the steel grille that formed an iron cage, stared at the people who walked into the room with extreme coldness.
Deacon Nashbar brought two pharmacists affiliated with the Knights' purifying force. Their level was obviously higher than that of Zhang Zhongyuan, and there was a unique way to deal with the infected. Su Hao stood beside him and silently watched them use chainsaw to saw Coxon's body open and divided him into more than a dozen unconnected pieces. This brutal and cruel behavior did not bring pain to Coxon. Perhaps because all the nerves on the body had lost their effect, Coxon was always very calm, watching the pharmacist packing his body and then spraying disinfectant in the room.
"It's a corrupt infection, we've seen this before."
Deacon Nashbar is obviously knowledgeable: "There are always some inexplicable things in the space. When entering strange areas, you should be very careful and pay more attention to strange situations. I have read your battle records, and the source of pollution should be in a pool in that cave."
As he said that, Deacon Nashbar turned his gaze to Su Hao standing beside him and said seriously: "Thank you for your blessing, you have not come into contact with the pollution source in the pool. Otherwise, the person who was put in the cage would probably not be this poor person, but you."
Su Hao seemed a little confused: "We searched those caves repeatedly and found no source of pollution. Afterwards, until now, no other person had similar mutations."
"After the fourth war with the Dark World, there was a case of the same mutation as this."
Deacon Nashbar did not care about Su Hao's attitude and said to himself: "The Holy See sealed the biological samples left at that time. This is a pollution source with extremely amazing spreading effects. No matter any kind of wound, once it enters the blood, it will cause mutation in a very short time. The body rots and loses its self-awareness. The action is slow and dull at first, and then becomes extremely agile and flexible... They are very aggressive and use this as another way to infection. Whether they are caught or bitten, the ending will become desperate."
As he said that, Deacon Nashbar looked at Su Hao deeply: "Captain, you are a very smart and extremely excellent commander. Not only are you not infected, you also ordered that the area be banned as soon as possible. Especially for those who died, they were burned with flames. These measures were very timely, because it won't take long to find that the person who should have died will be resurrected again. This is obviously a blasphemy to the dignity of the emperor and a contempt for the gods."
Su Hao responded calmly: "I did this only out of instinct. The subconscious mind told me that those dead people are likely to mutate."
The changes that happened to Coxson made Su Hao feel potential danger. In addition to quarantine everyone in the most stringent way, he also ordered the burning of all the dead bodies in the cave. This practice violated the Legion Regulations. According to the regulations, the members of the surviving battle squad must return to the main world with the dead bodies. This is a doctrine with no room for negotiation and cannot be violated under any circumstances. After all, only the main world is the destination of the Legion warriors. Even if they die, their souls and bodies must return to their original origins, and they can enjoy eternal peace under the glory of the emperor.
