Chapter 206 Eggs
"Martial law is in effect at Starship Sea. All unauthorized personnel are to proceed to the central command for refuge immediately."
A large contingent of Cloud Cavalry suddenly arrived at the Xingchahai Warehouse Center.
"What happened?" the warehouse manager asked.
"We have no way of knowing the specific reasons behind the general's orders."
"In addition, we need to send more people to inspect all the goods that have recently entered the port," said the Yunqi Army captain.
"Yes, I understand." The head of the warehouse center nodded.
He then immediately issued an order to organize his staff to begin a re-inspection of the Star Chariot cargo ship.
Starship Storage Center.
A large number of staff quickly donned their equipment and entered the port where the vessels were moored and stored.
"Sigh, it was supposed to be a day off, but we were still pulled in to work overtime," one staff member sighed.
"Stop complaining. They say something happened, and Luofu is under full martial law now."
"Yes, everyone else has gone to take refuge, leaving only us."
"There's no other way. We were given this job, so we have to guard this checkpoint into Luofu."
"Yes Yes Yes."
After chatting for a while, the staff immediately began to disperse and board the starship to begin checking each item one by one.
According to Luofu's rules, only cargo ships from outside are usually inspected, but this time they didn't expect to have to inspect all the cargo ships, which suddenly increased the workload.
At this moment, a staff member boarded a starship that looked rather strange.
His electronic terminal showed that the starship was preparing to launch from Luofu, but it was detained because the Starship Sea was closed.
"Why does this starship feel a bit eerie?" The staff member boarded the starship and suddenly had a strange feeling.
He turned on his flashlight, opened the hatch of the starship, and went inside.
There was nothing inside except for a huge shipping container.
"There's nothing unusual about it, so where does this feeling come from?" The staff member was a bit puzzled.
He went to the container and checked the electronic terminal again.
"Are the goods...electronic products?"
The staff were preparing to open the container when they went inside.
The beam of the flashlight swept across nothing but normal electronic products; there seemed to be nothing strange about them.
Just as he was about to leave, his hand suddenly froze in mid-air.
On the otherwise perfectly smooth container wall, a few drops of gelatinous substance had condensed, and the pale purple viscous liquid was dripping down the wall onto the electronic products.
"Strange, what is this?"
He leaned closer and sniffed; the sweet, fishy smell made his nose itch.
"A biological tissue? We'll have to get the people from the Alchemy Department here."
The staff member shook his head, turned around, and went to initiate the isolation procedure and report to headquarters.
But then he noticed that the screen on his electronic device was becoming unstable, with many pixels appearing.
“Buzzing…”
Suddenly, a piercing sound came from the wall next to us.
It sounded like someone scratching a blackboard with their fingernails, and at the same time, it seemed like there was the sound of liquid flowing inside.
The staff member took a few steps back in fear; he had never encountered such a situation before.
"Wait, does this container have a hidden compartment?"
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the wall next to them collapsed, and the staff members quickly dodged to avoid being hit.
"Phew, that was close!"
He breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the wall that had just collapsed at his feet.
When he looked over again, the surprise he saw took him by surprise.
The space inside the walls had been completely transformed into ventilation holes made of biomaterials.
The edges of each hole were covered with a spiderweb-like secretion, and a black object wrapped with blood vessel-like veins was wriggling.
"These are... insect eggs?" The staff member's face suddenly showed a look of horror.
How could insect eggs possibly be inside Luofu?
We must report this immediately!
Just as he took out his communicator to contact headquarters, the egg sac closest to him suddenly cracked open with a spiderweb-like pattern.
The next second, a gray, ugly insect, covered in slime, lunged at him.
When the staff member turned around, he saw the insect in mid-air and immediately showed a look of horror.
He tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The insect flapped its wings and pounced on his face; its tentacles had already penetrated the worker's mouth.
With a "thump".
The staff member collapsed to the ground, his communicator lying to the side, from which came a questioning voice.
"Connection to the headquarters of the Tianbo Company has been established."
"Number 426, please respond."
"What happened? Please respond if you hear me."
With each question, no one answered her; only hollow echoes and the buzzing of insects flapping their wings filled the air.
At this point, more insects emerged from the ruptured egg sacs.
They darted past the staff, seemingly with a purpose, and quickly fled the starship, scattering in the storage port.
