Chapter 2237: The Hidden Truth
"Launch the attack now!"
"Get your weapons ready and proceed as we've been trained before."
"Charge in! The Frey government's hidden secrets are inside!"
Outside the military restricted area, a large number of people of unknown origin appeared.
Armed with various weapons, they launched an attack on the military base.
There are also many defensive weapons inside the military base.
However, too many people couldn't withstand the attack.
After a fierce battle, a breach was quickly torn in the military base.
"Cover me as I charge in!" A man over two meters tall, carrying a laser machine gun, charged in.
There were several other soldiers around him, some of them holding energy shields in one hand and weapons in the other.
They formed a combat team and stormed into the military restricted area.
Along the way, they continued to advance by suppressing enemy fire.
Gradually.
A bloody smell began to fill the air.
"Strange, what's this smell?"
"It looks like fresh blood," someone muttered.
"It seems to have come from this side." A soldier pointed to a closed gate with writing on it that they didn't understand.
That's the Frei script, which only the Frei people can understand; the local indigenous people are not allowed to learn it.
"Break through!" the burly man said.
With the combined efforts of several people, they managed to break down the closed door.
After breaking it open, inside were countless hexagonal grids, each containing something curled up inside.
Some people, out of curiosity, went closer to take a look.
"Aaaaaah!" The person screamed and fell to the ground, their face filled with terror.
"Damn it, what are you yelling about?"
"That scared the hell out of me!" The burly man was startled.
"Boss, it's a person!"
"These containers are full of people!" the man said, pointing tremblingly at the containers.
Is it a person?
The burly man walked closer in disbelief, and in that instant, his already pale face turned even darker.
Inside the container were people curled up like babies.
These people were naked.
Men, women, young and old are all included.
Several transparent tubes were inserted into their bodies, and red substances were flowing out of these tubes.
The air was thick with the smell of blood, and these people's bodies were visibly drying out.
It's easy to imagine what was being extracted from these pipes.
"How dare these Freys do this!" the burly man roared angrily.
"Could these people all be people imprisoned for various crimes?" A woman in the group took out a device.
After walking a few steps among the containers, I chose one whose facial features I could still make out.
The device scans facial information and combines it with previously stolen information about individuals in society.
It was matched very quickly.
A 27-year-old male from a certain city, who worked as a food delivery driver, was sentenced to life imprisonment for running five red lights.
A 23-year-old woman from a certain city was sentenced to life imprisonment for writing a gay novel.
A 13-year-old male student at a school in a certain city was sentenced to life imprisonment for repeatedly failing to complete his homework.
A 19-year-old male was sentenced to life imprisonment for browsing prohibited videos online.
Looking at these messages one by one.
The woman instinctively covered her mouth.
Although some of these behaviors were indeed wrong, they were sentenced to life imprisonment for these behaviors, and in reality, they were bled to death here.
That's really an exaggeration.
"Then what will happen to all my relatives who were captured?!" A male captain said, clutching his head, his emotions on the verge of collapse.
"Let's keep looking ahead." The burly captain gritted his teeth and continued walking forward.
After walking a few hundred meters, we were blocked by a railing.
Because there were no lights, all you could see was a very deep atrium.
"Light the lanterns." The burly captain took out a stick-like object, struck it once, and threw it out.
In an instant, the stick lit up, illuminating the entire space.
It plummeted rapidly from the height of the atrium.
The scene inside the courtyard left the entire burly team dumbfounded.
Because inside the atrium, there are layers of structure.
Each floor is the same as the one they are on.
It is at least several hundred meters deep.
But what if every floor is like this?
It's hard to imagine how many people are in this space.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard."
"Those bastards Frey!" The burly captain roared, his eyes bloodshot.
"Captain, calm down."
This is only part of the truth.
We need to figure out why the Freys are collecting so much blood!
"We must uncover the whole truth!" the female team member said.
The burly captain took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and said, "You're right."
Now that we've come this far, we have to figure out what they're up to.
What secrets are hidden here?
Everyone turns on their own recorder, and the recorders are shared within the team.
If even one person manages to get out of here alive, we'll find a way to make everything we've seen public!
We must let everyone know exactly what the Frey government is doing to us!
"yes!"
The team looked at the pipes.
Once the pipes inside each container are connected, they all converge into a large pipe and then proceed deeper into the tunnel.
The entire team followed the thick pipe overhead.
The burly captain's hand was already on the trigger; he desperately wanted to see the enemy.
His anger was so intense it was about to burst out.
If there were a Frey in front of him right now, he would not hesitate to riddle that Frey with bullets.
soon.
The space, which had been somewhat dim, began to brighten.
A door appeared before them, leading to an open-air dome structure that resembled a giant outdoor football stadium.
"Watch out, there are people outside!" The female captain cautiously told everyone to hide.
They hid themselves, secretly peeking outside.
Within this vast space, there is a building that resembles a super swimming pool.
The outline of a starship can be seen, and then hundreds of pipes are injecting blood into the pool.
Surrounding them were Frey soldiers.
This area is a military restricted zone for the Frei people.
Therefore, the indigenous people were almost strictly guarded, and at most they were put in charge of the perimeter security.
This results in very little security presence in the inner circle.
Only a few dozen combat mechs stand here.
"They're filling that blood-filled swimming pool with their own blood!" the female captain exclaimed.
She recalled a rumor she had heard before: "I heard a theory before."
The Frey civilization has a unique method for building starships.
It involves first building a warship, then filling the area around it with blood.
Finally, the warship was awakened by the blood of the Efreys themselves, thus transforming it into an interstellar warship.
Could it be!
This is their blood sacrifice ritual!
Hearing the female team member's words, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines and were filled with anger.
"These bastards, they actually dared to use our compatriots as a blood bank."
"Damn it!" The burly captain couldn't hold back any longer and was about to rush out.
"Captain, calm down!" The female team member pressed down on the captain.
"How can I calm down now?"
Are we just going to watch them drain the blood of our people and then use that blood sacrifice to awaken their so-called starship?
"I can't do it!" the burly captain said angrily.
"team leader!
"We need to spread the word about this place!" the female team member said earnestly.
The burly captain was taken aback, but he calmed down a bit.
He then said, "You're right about that."
The message needs to be carried out.
Like this.
You and Xiao Zhang are responsible for transmitting this information that we have captured.
The rest of you, stay here with me.
Destroy this filthy place.
We must never allow that starship stained with the blood of our compatriots to take to the skies!
"Yes!" the team members replied in unison.
The female team member hesitated for a moment.
Actually, she wanted to stay.
But after thinking it over, she still accepted the task.
"Captain, please be careful."
"We'll send the message out and come back to support you immediately!" the female team member said earnestly.
"After you leave, don't..."
"no!
We are a team.
"We came together for a common goal. We swore that even if there was a dead end ahead, we would walk together!" the female team member said firmly.
The burly captain glanced at the female team member.
Actually, nobody knew that the two of them were a couple.
However, considering the organization's interests, they didn't want their relationship to affect the organization's mission, so they kept it a secret from the outside world.
For those who remained, the outcome of the battle was predictable.
On the other side were dozens of Frey civilization combat mechs, all of which were T1 level.
Although they were fully armed, they were all armed with individual weapons.
The gap is still significant.
This battle was a near-death experience.
But even knowing this...
These people still chose to stay without hesitation, for no other reason than...
All for the tens of thousands of compatriots trapped inside the containers, serving as blood bags!
"Wait for us!" the female team member said, and then walked back the way she came, with the male team member beside her quickly following.
The remaining team members looked at the burly captain.
"Check your weapons and equipment."
We will proceed according to the combat plan we developed during our previous training sessions, which was designed for combat mechs.
They used to call us "from the gutter."
