2276. The Demise of Illusion
Planet Harunkar, outer space.
A Consul-class cruiser spray-painted with the Galactic Empire logo broke away from the hyperspace channel and appeared here. On the spaceship, the navigator adjusted the navigation equipment and reported back: "Sir, we have arrived at the target planet Harunkar. The space station of the Galactic Empire is set up here. According to the identification code, it belongs to the 114th escort fleet of the Galactic Empire."
The two imperial officers standing on the bridge, judging by their badges, are a major and a captain. They are members of this investigation team. They looked at the picture on the holographic star map and nodded, "That's right, a space port and attached battleship. It looks intact."
The major waved his hand and said: "Send a request. Get ready for docking. This spaceport does look very good on the outside. We just need to ask why they haven't reported to us for the past three months."
"Yes, sir." The captain nodded.
However, after a while, the correspondent said: "Sir, there is no response. They did not reply."
The major frowned and looked at the holographic star map, "This is wrong Ah, they obviously have spaceships patrolling around, so why didn't they respond? "
"I'm worried that it will be dangerous if we rashly approach without any response," the captain said.
The major thought for a while and suddenly said: "No, they didn't respond to our arrival at all, and even the patrol tracks were exactly the same. This is impossible! Get closer!"
"Yes!" Although the captain had some doubts, he still did as he was told.
The spaceship approached the space port. As expected, the patrolling spacecraft did not react at all. The spacecraft directly approached the space port and docked, and the connection was completed directly. From beginning to end, there was no response from the other party.
The major thought for a while and said: "There is indeed something weird here... In fact, there is something wrong with the 114 escort patrol fleet stationed on the planet Harunkar. In the previous war, a rebellion broke out on the planet Harunkar, and then It should have broken away from the Galactic Republic. But after that, the 114th escort fleet suddenly arrived here without warning. The separatists did not occupy this place. Let the soldiers go and take a look first."
Stormtroopers wearing white armor filed into the space station from the docking bay, but they soon came back to report.
"Sir, everything is normal inside the space station. But...it's too normal." A captain came over and said.
"What do you mean too normal?" the major frowned.
"I can't describe it, but there should be no danger. You can go and see for yourself." The captain said.
The major followed the soldiers to the space station, only to see that it was clean and bright, with many staff walking around, busy with their own work. But the problem is that no one pays attention to them at all! Even though two officers like them came over and brought a large group of soldiers with them, the staff here simply turned a blind eye.
A soldier walked over and threw the butt of his gun at a staff member who was wiping the table over and over again. However, something strange happened. It hit with a bang, but the man didn't move at all, not even moving his clothes. However, the feeling of hitting it is really similar to hitting the human body!
The soldier simply went over and tried to catch the man, but he tried his best and still couldn't move the man!
"What happened?" The soldier was confused.
"Explore everything here!" The major waved his hand and gave the order.
Although it felt strange, the Stormtroopers were divided into more than ten teams to carefully explore the entire space station. Soon, each team reported that the situation here was indeed strange. Everyone seemed to be fixed and could not be stopped no matter what they did. But the objects here, such as cups and chairs, can be moved at will. What's even more weird is that someone used a chair to block a person's way, but this person actually knew to move the chair away and then continued his actions.
The major now feels that although the windows here are bright and clean, there is an eerie atmosphere.
At this moment, he was in the restaurant, wiping a clean table casually, and said to the captain beside him: "The dining environment here should be very clean, but the previous investigation team report... I remember everything was normal, but I mentioned that after they returned, You have diarrhea, right?”
“Yes, I have also read the previous investigation reports,” the captain said, “They never mentioned that people here have such strange things. The people are very enthusiastic and well-behaved."
The major picked up a cup and played with it in his hand, and said, "So, maybe they are acclimated?"
While they were chatting, suddenly people around them came. The lights dimmed without warning! Not only that, the surrounding environment also changed instantly, becoming shabby and dirty, with spider webs everywhere.
And the cup in the major's hand turned out to be a rotten and blackened skull! !
This scene instantly frightened the major! He suddenly let out a scream like a woman, threw away the skull, and jumped directly into the captain's arms.
The entire space station has changed, all the people working there have disappeared, and all that is left here is dilapidated. There is rust everywhere, and there are cobwebs and dust everywhere. Except for the neatly placed tables and chairs, it looks like a place that no one has lived in for decades!
The lights are constantly flashing, indicating that although there is power here, it is in disrepair and is dilapidated.
The screams of their spacecraft correspondent also came from the communication, [Sir! The space station has changed! Changed! The entire space station is rusty! It simply looks like it’s been in disrepair! 】
Similar reports came from soldiers in other places, and they even heard gunshots, indicating that they were not the only ones who were frightened.
Not only is it dilapidated, but it's also full of corpses! The corpses had all decayed into bones and were scattered everywhere.
This is not the station of the 114th Escort Fleet at all! No, it should be said that the 114th escort fleet has disappeared long ago! There are just those decaying space stations and battleships!
In the past few years, everything reported by the 114th Escort Fleet is a scam!
But the question is, who did it?
The soldiers outside suddenly heard a scream, followed by intensive gunfire!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
The major ran out quickly, only to see the soldiers firing randomly into the darkness, but it was to no avail.
In the darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up! Immediately afterwards, there was a blood-red lightsaber!
The next second, those heavily armed Stormtroopers were killed like chopping melons and vegetables. No matter they used rockets or blasters, they could not stop the incoming attackers even for a second! (End of this chapter)
