StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 132 Creep
The battle in the center of the storm lasted for about two hours. Less than a hundred federal defenders were extremely tenacious in the face of several times their own Revolutionary Army soldiers, and the Revolutionary Army paid a heavy price.

These federal soldiers must have undergone resocialization. Even if their legs were cut off by arc tank shells, they could still endure the shocking blood loss and pain resistance.

Even so, the real headache for the Revolutionary Army is the unknown number of federal ghost agents, who may be lurking in any corner like ghosts.

But the once-secret eye of the tornado is now a closed cage, and psionic powers won't protect the Ghosts from being torn apart by the high-velocity air of sand and sharp rocks as they walk into the storm.

The anti-psychic forces of the Revolutionary Army, about 120 Steele Ling striker companies, were divided into twelve groups to search for the ghost agents in the eye of the storm. These power armor equipped with psionic shielding devices can effectively protect the soldiers. brain.

After the ghost agents were basically wiped out or captured, Augustus flew to the ground in a medium-sized transport ship and entered the place named Fujitamine Research Institute by the founder-as Kerrigan believed. Unlike my memory, this is not a military base.

This research institute is a standard alloy building built using modular airdrop panels. The flat structure makes the building look like a ladder that is spliced ​​together.

Augustus, who was wearing power armor, approached the bombed-out gate of the institute under the protection of the soldiers surrounding him, and a straight corridor with a single line and concise warning lines appeared in front of him.

The soldiers of the revolutionary army around were cleaning the battlefield, and the revolutionary army, whose family was not rich, had to recycle the power armor, guns and ammunition of comrades-in-arms and enemies.

"Your face is ugly." When Augustus was about to enter the research institute, Sarah Kerrigan walked over, and the Steeling strikers behind them were carrying several blood-stained men. ghost agent.

"Augustus, something terrible and terrible is going on in your head."

"Tell me, what did you see?"

"Destruction of humanity." Kerrigan's pale green eyes looked at Augustus without blinking. "But why?"

"...Then let's go and see the hidden truth." Augustus said, "You will know why so many ghost agents are needed here."

The surrounding Revolutionary Army soldiers silently followed them, walked through one passage after another and the wide sterile laboratory, and finally stopped in front of an observation room.In the observation room, the entire wall facing the observer was replaced with transparent glass. Raynor and Tychus were leading several Revolutionary Army soldiers standing there waiting for Augustus.

"Where are the scientists in charge of this laboratory?" Augustus asked as soon as he saw them.

"Here" Tychus dragged a man in white dust-free overalls to Augustus like a cat.Looking at his ID card hanging on his chest, Augustus learned that it was a Ph.D. from the Biological Research Laboratory of the University of Tarsonis named Frankos.

"This is really touching. I heard that you are here to overthrow the federal rule. Virgin Mary, you saved me." The doctor wanted to shake Augustus's hand excitedly, but when he stretched out his hand, it was immediately rejected Kerrigan distanced herself.

Dr. Francois didn't feel so embarrassed, and he did look happy on the surface.This somewhat hunchbacked middle-aged man has long, thin brown hair and a pair of nimble black eyes hidden under glasses.

"If it weren't for you, I could only stay here for the rest of my life. I was attending a lecture at the University of Tarsonis. In the lecture, I mentioned my research on the physiology of aliens, but just after the get out of class, my eyes went black and I woke up. Came here to find out I was brought here in the army and these bastards made me strip naked for inspection." He seemed chatty.

"Very well, now you are part of the Revolutionary Army." Augustus interrupted the doctor when he was still about to speak: "Soon the entire Koprulu sector will know that you are fighting for justice and freedom."

Dr. Francois wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a deflated balloon.

"My dear revolutionary comrade Dr. Francois, can you tell me what is in there?" Augustus pointed to a puddle of purple substance stuck to the glass wall. This is by no means a bright purple, but It is a deep purple almost black.

This purple substance covering almost the entire glass wall is like a wriggling gel, covered with veins like biological tissue, moving like a slug lying on the glass, crawling like a living thing.

During the ten or so seconds that Augustus stared at it, the mass of dark purple matter seemed to grow a little bigger, and the tentacle-like sticky ends moved to occupy a larger area of ​​the glass wall.

"It is a living biological blanket made of biological organic matter, containing proteases and cells that are constantly replicating." The doctor replied.

"Where did it, or rather, come from?" Augustus asked the next question immediately.

"Just two years ago. Originally discovered on several colony planets on the edge of the Koprulu sector, along with some extremely aggressive xenomorph organisms. Although different, genetic sequencing shows that they The DNA composition of the two species is highly similar, which means that these organisms are likely to belong to different branches of a race." Dr.

"That means you also participated in the initial investigation?" Augustus looked at him and said.

"At that time, I was just a peripheral staff who handled the experimental materials, an assistant who knew nothing." said the doctor.

Then he uttered an amazing truth: "In order to suppress the news, the federal government killed all witnesses and even people in the entire colony."

"How many alien creatures have been discovered." Under the signal of Augustus, Kerrigan began to read the thoughts and memories hidden deep in his heart.

At this time, Augustus couldn't help but think that if he could know the inhuman evidence of the federal government's silence, it would undoubtedly further reduce the government's prestige.

"Not many, and the remaining living bodies are even more pitiful." The doctor said: "They are bloodthirsty, like skinned wild dogs, covered with scars and leper-like cracks, and like snake-shaped monsters .”

"These monsters have invaded several colonial towns. You can hardly imagine the scene. Most of the people who have been eaten are hung from the eaves to dry, and the half-gnawed heads are looking at you with pus-blooded eyes. —people were disemboweled alive—”

Augustus breathed a sigh of relief, even though what the Doctor had described made Augustus feel extremely penetrating.According to Augustus' estimates, this should be the Zerg scouting force that spread to the Milky Way in the background, and the birthplace of the Zerg, Zerus, is far outside the Koprulu star sector, and the large force should not have arrived yet.

"Where are these ghost agents in the research institute, are they experimental products?" Augustus asked the last question.

"Research has shown that there is a phenomenon similar to resonance between these creatures and psykers. Experiments have proved that they will be attracted to psykers, and this phenomenon is manifested in some psykers with extremely high PSI levels Obviously," replied the Doctor.

"We're still studying this anomalous phenomenon, and we're making research results based on it. The people who funded this project think that these alien creatures can be used as a weapon."
