StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 284 Cerebral Worm Sass

This huge underground cave is supported by crimson earth and rock and solid rock walls. Thousands of flesh-colored insect curtains several feet long hang from the cave's dome, like pulsating, blue intestines.

Between the hanging insect curtains are black holes of different sizes, inside which are many pairs of inverted triangles emitting scarlet light, which are the alien dragons that are peeping at the intruders.

The interior of the cave is covered with a dark purple carpet and some kind of black mold, which looks like the skin of a rotten apple. A large number of squirming and pulsating red insect intestines are spread out on the ground, like dense red worms. Earthworms or densely woven spider webs.

Stepping on these thick carpets of creeping fungus feels like walking through a thick gelatinous fluid, which is like the glue on a fly board. Augustus felt like he was walking in the mud of a swamp, and every time he raised his feet, he made an uncomfortable squeaking sound.

The protoss troops led by the high-ranking templar of Sargas are still fighting against the huge and ferocious Toath Krai beast. Dozens of shining light blades are shining in the darkness, and the psychic blades are burning. The sizzling sound of the air and the echoes of the monster's earth-shattering roar echoed between the cave walls.

"...What is this? It's stuck to my iron boots!" At this time, Tychus was still concerned about other things.

"It looks like some kind of excrement. I mean, it's zerg poop." Harnak turned on the flamethrower on his Firebat power armor, and the raging flames immediately illuminated the way forward.

"It should be the excrement of the mutalisks. They will hunt other creatures away from the insect nests and carpets." Kerrigan said: "You all know that the zerg also eat humans."

"Watch the top of your head!" Augustus shouted on the communication channel.

The alien dragons hiding in the cave domes and alien dragon spiers left their lairs screaming. Flying creatures with wingspans comparable to those of fighter jets hovered above Augustus and the others, making a creaking sound as they flapped their wings. .

The troops led by Augustus are the elite among the elite. Each of these brave and fearless warriors is a tough guy who has lost his face in the war with the Zerg. They are well-equipped and shoulder-to-shoulder. There are back-to-air missile launchers, as well as a large number of heavy machine gun teams, equipped with amazingly powerful D-7 explosives and geomagnetic grenades.

When Augustus gave the order, his soldiers immediately began to advance in units of squads and three-person fire teams, keeping a distance from each other. The most senior medical soldier followed the marching team, and everyone They all focused on the weapons in their hands and the alien monsters they faced.

When the hovering alien dragon dropped the deadly symbiotic blade insect, about a hundred missiles with built-in locking functions began to take off. The screaming flying creatures scattered to avoid the rising missiles. The most unfortunate ones among them had already been Exploded into flying shards.

There were still a few jumping symbiotic blade insects that landed among the revolutionary soldiers of Augustus. The acid and chemicals produced by the violent explosion instantly melted the human soldiers wearing alloy power armor.

"Prepare to activate the psychic disruptor." Several Revolutionary Army engineers under heavy protection immediately started to activate the assembled psychic disruptor under the order of Augustus.

Engineers also wear dark red power armor. It does not take much effort for them to use these thick armors, because most of the damaged power armor is repaired by the Revolutionary Army Engineer Corps.

The Hydra Hydralisks and Springtails on the ground have been killed by the Protoss Templars, so the pressure on the Revolutionary Army is much less.

What gives people a huge sense of oppression in this cave is still the huge super thunder beast with dark red skin and a stronger carapace. Templars in shining golden armor surrounded the thunder beast, like hunters surrounding a wild beast.

Toaskraymon is much larger than ordinary Thunder Beasts, like a walking building. The height of its huge crown even passes through one hundred and fifty feet (about forty-five meters), and it really seems to be moving. Walking mountains.

Such a monster can completely ignore the spike bullets of a Gauss rifle, and perhaps only a large-caliber ship-borne railgun can hurt it. The Toath Krai Beast is currently the largest and most deadly individual among the Zerg land creatures.

At this moment, the Toath Krai Beast is trying to crush the surrounding Protoss Templar warriors with its huge size and the arc-shaped scythe that can tear apart the Arc Tank. However, those powerful Protoss warriors can withstand it every time. You may be able to escape its fatal attack, but just one mistake could kill you.

Every time the Protoss Templar swung the psychic blade, it left a bloodstain on the leg of the Toascree beast, but this only increased the monster's fury.

Even with such a huge size, Toaskremon's movements can be described as agile, and it can quickly react to attacks coming from all directions and fight back. Even though every Protoss Templar is an experienced and powerful warrior, they are still in danger when dealing with this giant beast.

From time to time, protoss templars were swept by giant scythes, and their plasma shields could not sustain themselves under such a huge impact.

"Want to help them?" Tychus asked Augustus.

"Keep the psychic disruptor and leave the rest to the protoss," Augustus said.

The Thoth Clay Beast was far beyond what Augustus's two hundred or so soldiers could handle. To deal with this terrifying monster, giant ships and heavy artillery must be used. Even the Protoss use their beam-focused weapons when dealing with Ultralisk, and only the most powerful Templars can work together to kill an ordinary Ultralisk.

This cave should be a central hub close to the main nest area, connected to at least twelve different insect passages. As if aware of the human intention to activate the psychic disruptor, a large number of Gamu Swarm Zerg are pouring out from other insect channels.

Fortunately, the support of the protoss was also very fast. The El protoss' unique Kara psychic link network allowed them to exchange information in a very short time. The protoss troops in other worm tunnels and underground caves quickly came from other directions. Come to the entrance of the underground passage.

Tassadar's high-ranking templars led their troops, and the golden-blue walking mechas with four flexible walking legs were at home in the narrow underground caves, easily traveling through the rugged cave depressions and lowlands.

A large number of zerg and protoss are fighting each other in this cave. The templars, zerglings and ultralisks are wrestling with each other, while the protoss dragon knight is using the phase tearing cannon and hydra on the top of its mecha in the dark environment. Hydralisk shooting. Suddenly, the entire cave was filled with brilliant blue sparks and splashing acid.

The soldiers of Augustus were under the full protection of the Protoss, and the proud Protoss did not allow their human allies to be threatened by the Zerg.

Augustus and his elite guards guarded the activated psychic disruptors placed between them, while the remaining soldiers were using rifles, grenades, flamethrowers, individual missiles and beefed-up Kemerian High-explosive grenades repel approaching enemies - whether on the ground or in the sky.

"Sarah, concentrate, I believe that Sass, the brainworm of the Gamu swarm, must be nearby." Augustus strengthened his previous judgment. This place is close enough to the location of the brainworm. , this must be one of the reasons why these zerg become so crazy.

"It's too noisy here." When Sarah Kerrigan heard what Augustus said, she concentrated on sensing the psychic signals of possible zerg brainworms, and the protoss often called this state meditation.

"Almost a thousand protoss were shouting at the same time in their psychic link, and the psychic power they mastered was enough to sweep the city." Kerrigan tried her best to do what Augustus said, her beautiful His eyebrows were knitted tightly together in pain.

"Uh--I sensed it. It's in that direction." After sensing it in silence for more than ten minutes, Kerrigan suddenly pointed forward with a finger, which was the entrance to a cave guarded by the Toas Clay Beast.

"The star spirits must have noticed it too."

Usually, the number of To'athkree beasts is very rare. They tend to only appear in the main nest area and are directly controlled by the Cerebrate. Under normal circumstances, Cerebrates will only send out these terrifying guards when they think they are under direct threat.

Wherever this kind of thunder beast appears, it means that the brain worm is not far away.

The wait for the psychic disruptor to activate became extremely long, but fortunately Augustus's troops persisted until the moment it was activated.

It's just that when the invisible disruptor force field spreads in all directions, its effect is greatly weakened compared to the one in Ansadar City. Only a very small number of zerg were affected, but their crazy appearance was not much different from usual.

"Damn, why doesn't this thing work?" Tychus knew that as soon as the psychic disruptor was activated, even the charging Zerg would definitely turn around and attack its own kind: "Are we moving this iron?" It hit something when it was pimpled, or maybe Swann’s people made a mistake.”

"I think this is because we are too close to the brainworm, and our psychic disruptor is not strong enough to overwhelm the psychic power of this brainworm." Augustus saw all this. : "There is only one reason, and that is that the psychic energy of this brainworm is too strong."

"Cerebrates are a rare breed of zerg with powerful psychic abilities. If you think about it, you will know that the more zerg they control, the more powerful their psychic power is." He said to Kai beside him. Regan said.

"Record it to allow Swann to re-evaluate the value and risk of this weapon and attempt to launch a project to enhance the energy output level of the psychic disruptor."

Although the number of the Gamu swarm is not as large as that of the Jormungandr swarm that invaded two planets in the Sara system, it is still a branch of the zerg that is responsible for the main attack.

If only the human side breaks into this underground cave, then the army that has placed its bet on the psychic disruptor is likely to be completely wiped out, and Augustus will never take the risk.

However, psychic disruptors still have a certain impact after all. Even an uncontrolled zerg that breaks away from the attack formation may cause great chaos. The brainworms of the Gamu swarm are extremely simple and crude in dealing with such uncontrollable individuals - they are destroyed together as enemies.

The protoss troops firmly gained the upper hand in the battle with the swarm of insects. Amidst the massive bursts of blue light and the released psychic storm, the zerg that kept appearing were mopped down in pieces. At the same time, there were still a large number of insects pouring out from the entrances of various insect tunnels, as if they could not be killed at all.

More high-ranking templars joined the siege of the To'athkre beast. Their powerful psychic powers came from the accumulation of hundreds of years of deep meditation.

Each high-level templar is the most outstanding among the Guardians of El. They are templars who have reached another level in the way of Kara. They are warriors who are skilled in hand-to-hand combat and have already mastered the art of fighting. He is a master who has reached the pinnacle.

Hundreds of golden and blue Dragon Knight mechas also began to fire at the roaring Toas Cree Beast, blasting the huge and ferocious crimson monster to pieces.

A blue arc of light surrounded the Thunder Beast, and a dozen high-level templar warriors were unleashing their powerful psychic power on the Thunder Beast, which was enough to penetrate the carapace.

Even so, this Toascree beast still persisted for more than twenty minutes under the fierce attack of the protoss troops. When it died, the carapace on its body had been burned to carbonization, and the roar of its fall was like the collapse of a building.

After falling down, the body of Toaskray Beast was still starting to form a cocoon and heal. Augustus even suspected that if no one continued to deal with the body, it would even be resurrected, but the protoss quickly used their Shanshan The late arrival of the golden beetle completely smashed the body of the thunder beast into pieces.

Then the protoss rushed into the tunnel guarded by the Toascray beast, and Augustus led the soldiers to follow them.

When passing the body of the Ultralisk, everyone was surprised by the giant skeleton comparable to that of Tyrador's Basilosaurus. And you must know that the Thunder Beast is only an animal that lives on land, which means that its skeleton must be strong enough to withstand the heavy pressure of the body and organs.

The cave guarded by the Toascray beast is connected to a larger cave. There are only walls covered with moist attachments and tumors. There are festering tissues on the ground, and some kind of foul-smelling ichor is flowing inside.

Augustus passed between a group of Templars and suddenly found that they were surrounding a fluorescent zerg creature.

What made Augustus feel creepy was that around this zerg were actually a bunch of computer hosts and display screens of human communication equipment, and the data cables and cables that powered these were submerged in the tissue tumors protruding on the ground. Among them, it seems that the zerg are using some kind of biological electricity to provide energy for it.

The glowing display screen was covered in dirt, slime, and creep, surrounded by a special kind of zerg glowing creature that acted like the light on the display screen. Several infected people infected by zerg and covered with spikes were using their stiff fingers to manipulate these devices. There were at least dozens of insect intestines and thick meridians connecting their brains to the huge tumors on the ground.
