StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Just like the most terrifying zombie movie, the gray-brown crowd was like a roaring wave, one wave after another.

Hundreds, thousands, thousands of infected people moved around with their bodies riddled with holes, like black clouds moving quickly on the ground. They looked like a large group of puppets put together here and there, with crooked noses, slanted eyes, dislocated joints, deformed limbs, and ghostly heads. They were simply monsters that had just crawled out of hell.

This scene couldn't help but remind Andrei of the stormy waves caused by three moons on Santori. The layers of dark black waves were like rows of tall buildings with a height of two hundred feet falling from the sky, shaking the earth and hitting the beach, which scared the shit out of him, a landlubber who grew up in Cha Sala.

The huge waves in Santorini can easily smash a three-story cruise ship into pieces, and Andre doesn't know if their position can hold out longer than those cruise ships.

Andre has dealt with these monsters in the past.

The infected people turned out to be just shambling living corpses, like drunken drunkards. The surging tide of corpses always moved extremely slowly, leaving enough time for people to react.

The infected people on Chasiton are both strong and agile, and can even jump and bite at long distances. Not to mention their slow movements, they are simply more terrifying than the Kara beasts on the planet Kallis that are used to climbing over cliffs. .

If the ordinary corpse tide is compared to the fine waves spreading on the beach, which are slow and light, the wave on Chasidon is a huge wave that destroys the world and destroys the earth. It comes in an instant and is bound to sweep everything away.

Andre realized that he was shooting in vain at the swarm of infected people, trying to stop the huge wave with bullets.

This war was extremely boring. They were hiding back to back in the bunker. All they could do was shoot at the incoming enemies during the lull in the artillery fire until they ran out of ammunition, repeating the killing process.

After all, how much impact can a soldier or an officer have on the war situation?

This is an interstellar war. If you want to defend or capture a planet, the scope covered and the military power required are unimaginable. Any large-scale battle will usually involve at least one million people.

In the three hundred years before the Guild War, the conflicts between humans in the Koprulu Sector were just petty fights, like several children in a family throwing stones at each other. The true interstellar war appeared even later. It seems that it was not until the protoss reduced two planets in the Sara system to ashes that mankind realized the true value of fleets and thermonuclear weapons.

Thousands of battleships, thousands of weapons of destruction, thousands of galaxies, thousands of wars.

At this moment, above Andre's head, a circle of Shrike automatic turrets rotated and fired, as if someone was beating a big drum rhythmically, and the huge shells that fell hit the electroplated steel guard plate. There was a thumping sound, and a series of continuous bullets rained like a fiery red dragon in the dark night.

Under the flickering light of the fire, an endless sea of ​​people swarmed by the infected army could be seen at a glance. At the same time, the Nydusworms were still burrowing into the land of Chalcedon, bringing in evil creations loyal to Amon.

Ahead, a wall of scorching flames rose from rows of doomsday turrets. The terrifying man-made heat wave swallowed up a large number of infected people in an instant, and countless twisted monsters screamed and jumped in the raging fire.

Another volley from the siege tank group followed one after another, and blood and flesh flew everywhere where the shells landed, sweeping everything like a gust of wind and rain. Fighter planes roared in the sky, and a large number of tactical attack aircraft flew low and dropped napalm bombs, turning everything in sight into a sea of ​​fire.

From time to time, Andre could still see the huge flash of light released when tactical nuclear bombs landed in the distance. The ship-based laser weapons above the clouds were like orange-red glass knives accurately cutting the charred earth, and the missile trails were all over the place. Sky. It was as if every inch of the land was exploding and burning, and everything was filled with the smell of burnt, thermoplastic, and ozone as charged plasma shot through superheated air.

This is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​​​blood surrounded by fire. Large areas of infected people were swept down like autumn leaves. Then more infected people stepped on the corpses of the same kind and continued to move forward. They stepped over the imperial bombers one after another. The flame isolation zone created is as fierce as a lion crossing the fire ring.

If there is an apocalypse, they are clearly at the center of it.

Such a scene is naturally extremely shocking, but in Andre's view, it is far less than one percent of what happened on the Al battlefield.

At that time, the golden fleet of the Duram Protoss occupied the entire sky of Aiur. Thousands of gorgeous sky fires cut the earth like whips of gods, and cracks more than ten miles wide were often spread among the ruins of the former glorious city. superior. The fire that burned the world burned from one end of the horizon to the other, even the low clouds in the sky were ignited, and all kinds of brilliant colors rose into the sky.

The longer a person lives, the more he sees, especially in the Koprulu sector in this era.

"The sentry turret has been breached!" When Private Fergis shouted on the communication channel, there were more than a dozen warnings and curses from other people mixed in.

Andre saw that the last few doomsday turrets that were spitting out flames in vain suddenly stopped firing, and a pile of steel wreckage with red-hot flesh and blood was instantly overwhelmed by endless infected people. These zerg-like monsters with fangs and sharp teeth can even tear apart power armor and gouge through the armor of tanks.

At this time, looking down through the observation hole in the bunker in front of Andre, he saw that the infected people climbing along the high ground were already close at hand, and he seemed to be able to smell the stench of these monsters. It was the smell of rotting corpses that had been dead for many days. The smell would make people choke and find it difficult to breathe.

Although Andre was convinced that the indiscriminate bombing of the Empire's air power had already killed at least hundreds of thousands of infected people, the swarm had long taught humans that any resistance in the face of sheer numbers would only delay their own destruction. die.

Most of the infected people are in ragged clothes, their faces are almost rotten, and they have extra long tongues, tentacles, carapace and claws. They are real human-eating evil spirits. Andre could only barely identify their occupations during their lives, and he was unwilling to guess what these people went through before they died.

But no matter whether these people were butchers who killed pigs or modern girls wearing high heels, they could now easily tear apart Andre's helmet and strangle or bite him to death.

Their speed is very fast and their strength is amazing. Andre once saw these infected people kill a Zeus battle tank with his own eyes.

Andre drew his gun and fired. A series of depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets caused ripples in the air. Several infected people at the front immediately fell down. The electromagnetically accelerated bullets even opened the skulls of these monsters, leaving them bloody and bloody. fly.

It can be seen that although Chasidon's new virus strengthens the physiological functions of these infected people, it still cannot make them invulnerable.

To be honest, it is shameless to say that these infected people can now run as fast as Marines who have received a stimulant injection.

At the same time, the planetary fortress Ibix artillery roared and opened fire, and a hurricane of fire and blood created holes filled with burnt flesh and blood in the dense army of infected people.

Countless infected people fell in front of Andre, while more monsters clung to the corpses of their own kind and continued to move forward.

Some larger monsters brutally carved their way among the infected people, and they were much more difficult to deal with. The most common among them were aberrations. They may have once been human beings, but now they have become something like A centaur nightmare creature with an unrecognizable humanoid face and a crusty skin covered with boils.

Under the influence of the new virus, the mutants that appeared in Chalcedon also fell into a state of rage. They could really gallop like a fast horse.

The hunted body is almost a miniature version of the wild beast. It also has a ferocious body covered with spikes and a bloody mouth, as if it has swords, guns, swords and halberds hanging on its body. The difference is that the prey has a pair of advantageous wings and an amazing jumping ability. It can almost be regarded as a short flight. They can climb over cliffs and attack from the enemy's back.

Carmelo, whom they call "college student", believes that some brainworms obviously believe that upright frontal attacks are outdated and that the tricks of insidious villains are the way to win. These insidious creatures were supposedly born to assassinate commanders, so they rarely appeared in front of them.

Fergis simply pointed out that since the emergence of this creature, the ones that have suffered the most are SCVs in mining areas and construction sites. The brain worms must have added some kind of gene or some kind of instinct to these predators, making them excited when they see the space engineering vehicle.

A certain large-scale variant of banelings also frequently appeared in this army of infected people. Andre's good brothers "affectionately" called these giant banelings bomb monsters. There were three of them in front of him, mixed in with the dense crowd. The infected philtrum resembles a slow-moving hill filled with vesicles filled with highly corrosive acid.

This baneling is much larger than its smaller counterparts in other hives, which is enough to make it stand out among the pack. The bomber is far too large to roll forward like other banelings, but on the other hand, it's incredible that it hasn't been crushed by its own weight.

At first glance, Andre would almost recognize the bomb monster as a large high-energy gas tanker. In fact, they are both equally explosive and dangerous. It's just that the bomb monster is still covered in a pair of thick chitin armor, and small-caliber weapons can barely splash some sparks when hit on it.

A bomb monster stepped on the ground and squeezed forward, spraying a stream of strong acid towards a bunker to the left of Andre. Suddenly, the entire outer wall of the bunker began to boil like a pot of boiling water, and it fell on The acid on the ground corroded deep black pits.

Andre heard a scream and the cry of a medic, but he didn't know whether it came from the bunker or a Reaper mobile team that was about to be destroyed.

"Where are our tanks! Kill them!" Andre shouted on the command channel.

Immediately afterwards, Andre heard the unique hiss of laser weapons amidst the loud noises of various firearms and cannons. Something was immediately baked dry, exploded like an over-inflated balloon, and the ground rose. There was a puff of smoke, and everything was enveloped in it.

When Andre saw clearly what had just happened, nothing was left where the bomb monster had been. This obese "leech" died an earth-shattering death. If it had been any closer, even Andre's bunker and everyone in it would have been sent to heaven.

"They are finished." Wade said something in a low voice, and then began to mutter silently: "God, bless them and let them arrive safely, Amen."

O'Neal, on the other hand, reminded Wade in a nonchalant manner that it was better for him to worry about himself.

Before Andre's mind could turn around, he sharply spotted several trucks and armored vehicles full of infected people, siege tanks covered with flesh growths and tendrils, and rattlesnake tanks from behind the thick smoke created by the bomb monster. Then came the Bunker Beast, which was crawling forward quickly. The machine gun on the latter's back still fired out a few dirty bullets from time to time.

Andre really didn't know how these monsters replenished their ammunition, or that they had been integrated with the automatic ammunition manufacturing factory inside the barracks, and they could create new ones by swallowing crystal ore.

Whether it is the infected buildings, vehicles or those bunker beasts, they have essentially mutated into a flesh-and-blood creature with only a superficial appearance. If you peel off the pieced-together metal shell, you can even find a beating heart and other organs inside. Perhaps even if severely injured, a creature like Bunkermon can regrow its lost steel plates.

Compared to the Cerberus Swarm, Bunkermons are more thoroughly cyborgs.

Andre noticed that several infected Sidewinder tanks opened fire on another bunker. The Imperial soldiers' return fire looked so weak. The bunker was quickly heated and ignited, and the vaporized steel and burning Blood clots spurted out from the gap, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

There was a group of people there, everyone whom Andre knew, including Sergeant Redl who had gone to the legendary Urna with him in the past.

Infected siege tanks and bunkers began to take root in front of Andre's eyes, turning over the soil with their sharp walking feet, burying themselves in it, and began to directly attack the imperial positions. Dozens of explosive infected bodies were launched, hitting the bunker like cannonballs. Acid and rotten flesh flew everywhere. The scene was no different from smashing a rotten watermelon against the wall.

The Imperial Army's pulse cannons immediately fired back, and some Bunker Beasts that had not yet had time to take root twitched and collapsed, looking like fat rats that had been punched through the belly.

This was desperate enough, and then hordes of wights appeared.

The wight is one of the many terrifying variants of the Ultralisk, first appearing in Meinhof.

This is a filthy and terrifying super-giant creature. Compared with other similar creatures, it is not afraid of sunlight, and its whole body is filled with the aura of corruption and excessive mutation. Dirty and foul-smelling green pus flows between the corrosion monster's armor and skin. Under the thick hard skin, even the bulging muscles are shining with a green light released by some terrible radioactive material.

When Andre first saw this kind of monster in Chalcedon, they only appeared twice, and only one each time. Corrosion monsters are really rough-skinned and fleshy, and just dealing with one of them almost rubbed out sparks from the barrel of a siege tank.

If support does not come again, Andre and his brothers will really be here, but they have already made such preparations.

Once Marines step onto the battlefield, they must be prepared to die. In other words, they must be more cautious.

They knew they would die, but they didn't know where they would die and how ugly their death would be. As for whether he died a worthy death, only God knows. (End of chapter)
