StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Mar Sara Airport.

The sun was about to set, and coldness and darkness shrouded the brightly lit airport. The radiance of lights and signal indicators covered the high and low buildings in the port with a thin layer of red, blue, and white.

The airport is full of Ma Sara refugees. These poor people who arrived at their destination after many setbacks immediately showed expressions of joy after seeing the lights that symbolized the glory of human civilization. But it didn't take long for all the expressions to freeze on their faces, because they would soon find that there were tens of thousands of people waiting to be evacuated in front of them.

At this time, the dark side of human nature will begin to amplify. Everyone hopes that they will be the first to escape, and the collapse of order sometimes only takes a moment. If it weren't for the armed revolutionary soldiers still maintaining order, this escape would quickly turn into a fight between people or a crazy stampede.

The wide dark silver alloy platform in the docking area was crowded with Mar Sara people eager to escape, like mushrooms stuffed in a mushroom can. They pushed and pushed towards the boarding platform. Every time a red-painted revolutionary army transport ship took off or landed, the crowd would move slowly.

The surging crowd can even push the Revolutionary Army soldiers wearing CMC power armor. At this time, the people squeezed in the middle are undoubtedly the most painful. Once they fall in the crowd, they will never have the chance to get up again. .

Everyone felt real nervousness and fear, fearing that someone would suddenly tell them that the spacecraft just launched was the last batch, and the people who boarded the spacecraft vented their joy after the disaster in various ways.

There were all kinds of voices mixed in the crowd, cheering and crying at the same time, and people praying from time to time.

Mar Sara is one of the most tenacious people among the Tyranids. Before the federal army intervened, they were even able to briefly contend with the Zerg with their old weapons and Molotov cocktails. There were rumors of several towns and even villages hunting alien creatures. It's even more commonplace. But that doesn't mean that they don't feel fear as humans, not to mention that they are facing terrifying and countless alien monsters.

The encounter in the Sara galaxy is destined to be an inescapable page in the history of mankind in the Koprulu sector. It was the first confrontation between humans and two other alien races in the universe, and it ended in a tragic defeat for humans.

At this moment, Augustus, who had just experienced a brutal battle, was walking quickly on the road from the port entrance to the command center. Only a few soldiers such as Sarah Kerrigan and Corporal Faraday followed him.

A few hundred yards behind Augustus was the fortification wall outside the airport, which was piled with automatic cannons, revolutionary soldiers with live ammunition, and boxes of ammunition. Dozens of searchlight beams crisscrossed the sky. .

In the past ten hours, the zerg that followed the last batch of refugees have taken control of all areas outside the central area of ​​Mar Sara City. With the city central park outside the airport as the boundary, the infection is still spreading towards Urban centers are sprawling.

Outside the silver-gray metallic fortification walls, the low roar of the zerg and the click of claws on broken glass could be vaguely heard. In the darkness, countless pairs of red eyes were watching the people in the airport.

Soldiers in heavy red power armor patrolled back and forth on the fortification walls. Machine gunners were wiping their 20mm electromagnetic guns and 12mm Gauss machine guns on raised platforms using boxes and metal ladders. The upper bases of dense missile towers were constantly moving. The ground was spinning, ready to fire at the alien dragon flying across the sky at any time.

The people guarding Mar Sara are veterans of the Augustus Guards Division. They followed Augustus when he established the Korhal Revolutionary Army. They have fought against the most outstanding troops of the Terran Federation. , and now fighting on the front line of the battlefield between humans and zerg.

The Marshal's Guard, also known as the Augustus Guard, were directly loyal to Augustus and his Mengsk family. These Korkha veterans are well-equipped, wearing CMC-300 power armor with a red background and gold trim, and the white Mengsk scarred wolf head badge on their helmets.

Augustus waved to his veterans as he walked, which immediately attracted many adoring looks.

In front of Augustus, a batch of shuttles and transport ships are launched from the launch port of Mar Sara Airport every few minutes. The orange flames turn the ground and the faces of the people looking up below red. The tail flames of hundreds of thrusters formed walls of flame that climbed up in the night. Every time a batch of spaceships takes off and leaves, bursts of cheers will erupt from the crowd.

These spacecraft, which have returned many times between the surface and space, have long been scarred by the burning of the Zerg acid. Whether flying from the ground to space or landing on the surface of Mar Sara, it is a danger. Lots of adventure.

In the past few days and nights, the Revolutionary Army has lost more than twenty APOD transport ships and all the people carried on them. More fighters and fighter pilots disappeared while escorting the transport ships and dealing with the alien dragons.

"They were cheering for those spaceships that took off - the people on the Korhal IV did the same before escaping." Augustus's dark gray eyes reflected the brilliant lights of the airport, his serious and tough face There is often a melancholy and gloomy look on his face.

"Sooner or later there will come a time when humans no longer have to flee their homes."

"War cannot break out on human soil." Kerrigan knew what Augustus was thinking at this time. She was staring closely at the man beside her, fascinated by his thoughts and everything about him.

"It is better to defend the enemy on the battlefield than to neglect the enemy on a small wall." Augustus said.

"Well said, Augustus. But this is actually something that the Federation should worry about. We don't have to worry about the fate of all mankind. To be honest, the life and death of these Mar Sara people has nothing to do with us. Want me Said, this is just a dog meddling with a mouse." At this time, Tychus Finley, Hanak Hank and Jim Raynor walked over together.

They had obviously just been removed from the battlefield, and the dark red power armor still had traces and dents burned by acid. Hanak also lost his honor. During the battle, his helmet was pierced by a Hydra Hydralisk, and a piece of flesh about four inches long and three inches wide was cut off from his right cheek. Now he relies on powerful tranquilizers and Painkillers hold on.

Of course, in Harnak's mouth, he was only scratched once by the snake.

Harnack is completely disfigured this time, and will inevitably leave a commemorative scar on his face. However, the current laser plastic surgery and skin grafting surgeries are advanced enough. As long as he is willing to spend money, everything will not be a problem.

"I think that's what happened." Hanak said vaguely.

"This is different, Tychus. If all mankind is finished, then why are we still revolutionary?" Raynor took off his helmet, revealing his bruised and swollen face: "Best, zerg and protoss Being able to deal with all the Federation’s armies at once, we can easily kill the Federation Council and those nobles in Tarsonis. Then we can unite all the colonies to fight against the enemy.”

"It seems that the Federation has no intention of defending its territory and wants to be a coward. They have been shrinking their defenses and turning a blind eye to the fall of their marginal territories."

"What happened to your face?" Augustus had known that Hanak's face was injured, but he didn't know about Renault's condition: "Hank, I think you should take a rest."

"My troops cannot live without me," Harnak replied.

"It was a fight. Okay, this matter is over." This man who loves driving Vulture cars just fell heavily due to the failure of his car's fuel engine. Naturally, the Masala God Renault I would rather admit that I lost a fight than say anything about it.

"Why don't you see if old Tychus is injured?" Tychus popped up.

"You look as strong as a bull." Augustus shook his head: "I never doubted that."

"Just come back." Then Augustus asked the revolutionary generals in front of him: "Where are the others?"

"We are lucky. Even the brothers who died in the battle have been brought back as much as possible. But for those troops who were almost wiped out, the situation is too bad. Those unarmed refugees face an even worse situation. In the process of escaping to various airports and temporary landing sites, people were left behind from time to time. These people were either lost or eaten by the zerg - those who did not return," Renault said.

"There are a large number of reports of missing persons from various places." Augustus had already ordered the marshal's headquarters to contact the communication consoles of each division, telling his generals and officers not to leave anyone behind, no matter that person had been Be a villain or a good guy.

"I'm afraid we don't have time to wait any longer."

"Send a few more mobile troops and close-to-ground armed speedboats to search for survivors nearby. As long as they succeed once, they may be able to save many people." Augustus always paid attention to the sky as he spoke, wary of possible dangers at any time. Allosaurs that appear may be other arthropod-like and bug-like beetles and chelicerates.

"But it's already dark. Even if some people are still alive, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive tonight." Tychus was not very happy: "The most terrible thing is that bugs don't sleep at night."

"I'll take people there." Renault said, "I'm familiar with this area. As long as I can save a few more people, it's worth the extra risk."

As Renault spoke, he walked to another apron to organize manpower. At the same time, the noisy roars outside the fortification wall became more and more intensive, and the sound of flapping wings and bursts of sharp roars came from the air.

Augustus opened his eyes a little wider and looked up at the sky.

The sky is like a black curtain shining with countless stars. There are many stars that are almost as bright as the moon. Each one is a large Mammoth-class and Prowler-class human transport ship that is taking off or their burning wreckage.

However, the bright starlight was gradually obscured by black shadows, and a large number of flying insect creatures began to hover high in the sky. There are so many of them that they almost look like a moving rain cloud.

Although the Jormungandr Swarm is an insect hive that mainly uses ground combat forces, their number is quite large. Even if the proportion of flying creatures is relatively small, their number far exceeds that of the human air force.

Outside the airport, which was protected by a large number of Presteel fortification walls, bunkers, and electromagnetic guns, it was completely dark except for the light of a few outpost searchlights.

In the darkness that Augustus could not see, the purple-black carpet had covered more than 80% of the city of Mar Sara. On top of those sticky carpets of creeping bacteria, dark red zerg tissue granulations swayed among hyphae, abscesses and human corpses and stretched toward the sky, like a fungal growth process that had been fast-forwarded countless times.

Dark brown and flesh-colored zerg spiers replaced the magnificent glass domes of human skyscrapers, and insect eggs were buried deep in warm underground incubation chambers and inside the gradually cold human corpses. In the moist nest, the white gelatin like fly eggs covered the humans who were dragged underground one by one, and the horrified and twisted expressions of their dead bodies were still clearly visible.

In the darkness outside the wall, the sounds of tens of thousands of zerg running and the uneasy baring of teeth could be heard one after another.

A piercing siren immediately sounded on the fortification wall, and the officers kept running to ensure that every heavy machine gun team and gun emplacement could fire normally. There was also a commotion and exclamation from the crowd, but it seemed that those still stranded at the airport had made up their minds to fight the zerg to the death if they really came.

"Damn it, the bugs came so quickly." Tychus cursed: "Did you hear what those twisted little monsters said?"

"dinner time."

"I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly." He said, "After this, I must pack up my things and go back to my hometown."

"Fighting with bugs is not worth my small salary."

"The lack of beautiful girls is the reason why you complain every day. If you are willing, I would rather you go back now." Augustus walked towards the fortification wall behind him, listening carefully to what was going on outside as he walked.

"Oh - I was just saying casually." Tychus shrugged and followed him shamelessly: "I like burning insects the most."

"The zerg don't seem to be coming for us." At this time, Kerrigan said while stroking her sore forehead: "I can sense the thoughts of the swarm."

"This is a good thing." Tychus said happily: "It's either the Omega Squadron stranded on the ground or a group of extremely unlucky guys. Thanks to them for attracting firepower for us."

"But these people should be not too far away from us, otherwise the bugs wouldn't pass by."

"What else can you sense?" Augustus looked at Kerrigan with concern.

For a high-level human psyker like Kerrigan, as long as she concentrates and listens carefully, her mental and spiritual voices will be significantly amplified, just like when ordinary people hear the sound of raindrops falling to the ground, it is like thunder.

".It's the protoss." Kerrigan paused.

"Contact our reconnaissance force." As soon as Augustus finished speaking, he received an urgent report from the command center.

"Marshal, the reconnaissance boat discovered a small-scale protoss ground force at the northernmost tip of Mar Sara City. At present, we don't know why they appeared where, but now it seems that those protoss are in trouble. ...The zerg have surrounded them." A report mixed with electrical noise came from his headset.

"How far are they from here?" asked Augustus.

"About twenty-five miles," was the immediate answer.

Augustus was silent, just frowning and thinking about something. He waited four or five seconds before saying, "Where is Renault? He just took someone out."

"Wait, you're not going to save them. We don't have to do that." Tychus said in surprise.

"If it were Tal'darin, I would never pay attention to them." Augustus said, "But if it were these protoss, it would be different."

"You expect the protoss to be grateful to us, and then they will inform us before they blow up the star next time?" Tychus said harshly.

"What are the benefits of making friends with aliens?" he said.

"We won't do anything that doesn't benefit us."

Thanks for the support!
