StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 137 Desperate

As Constantine stepped off his private yacht that landed in Terra's Sky Tower, his adorable little daughter, Nova Terra, was running towards him in a white pleated princess dress like a blooming Tasan Nice flower.

Konstantin, who was in a depressed mood, squeezed out a smile, hugged his six-year-old daughter in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Nova was really his angel.

The eldest daughter, Clara, no longer clings to Constantine since she was sensible. This once innocent child has gradually grown into a real Tarsonian nobleman, with an elegant and romantic nature, but her obsession with power and luxury has already begun to emerge.

The ten-year-old second son Zebedia can do everything well, and he has an extraordinary talent for running a company.This future heir of Constantine is good and likable, but the brat is not as sweet, gentle and understanding as Nova.

"Father, why are so many people dying?" Nova Terra, who had a sweet smile on her face, suddenly turned pale when she was hugged by her father. The innate tenth-level psychic ability allowed her to see Constantine. The dreadful sight imagined.

Blossoming orange-red mushroom clouds rose in the vast and beautiful grassland pastures and pastoral farms, and the silver-like steel and crystal-like glass buildings melted in the flames and high temperatures like a furnace.

After the roar of the mountain collapse and the extreme brightness, the once lush garden world became a monotonous, black radiation wasteland and wasteland.Cities with millions of people disappeared like melted sugar cubes, and all traces of their lives were permanently erased.

In some places that escaped the nuclear explosion by chance, the radiation spread like a wind of death, people's skin began to fester and fall off in pieces, children died in their homes with toys in their hands, those surviving animals were deformed, Hal's friend stilling hounds became horned monsters, grotesque creatures devouring the dead
That planet would become a dead world of horrific radiation.

"Death, what a painful thing, those people. Why did it happen?" Nova burst into tears, and the tears fell from her pale green eyes like scattered crystal necklaces.

"It's okay, Nova." Konstantin blamed himself for his negligence, and Nova's powerful telepathy meant that she could hear the voices of those around her uncontrollably.He is comforting his daughter as well as himself: "It's not that bad. It's not that bad"

"It won't be like that. Things are far from reaching that point. We still have room for redemption," he said.

Constantine couldn't help feeling thankful for Keha. Fortunately, the fleet of the Tyranid Federation still had to deal with the threats from the Kel-Morian Federation and Umoyan.Otherwise, if it is in peacetime, once the resolution is passed, it will only take a few standard Earth solar days for the fleet to jump from Tarsonis to Korha IV, and the Korha people will have no time to escape.

Now, there is still more than a month to go.

"Okay, but death is the scariest thing. Why do humans kill each other?" Nova looked at Constantine with teary eyes.

"You are still too young, Nova, you still can't understand the true meaning of death." Constantine looked into his daughter's eyes seriously and said, "And human beings, appealing to our history, are a constantly dividing, mutually A race of hatred and cannibalism. Perhaps only a powerful enemy can unite all human beings."

After finishing speaking, Constantine handed his daughter to the maid beside him: "I still have important things to do, I must remind Angus."

Constantine then dismissed the butler and the manager of the family business who were going to follow him, and walked into a closed room in the Sky Tower of Terra.The layout of this room is simple, with only a single sofa and a small holographic projector.

When the holographic projector was activated, a group of Terran English words rotated and decomposed into bundles of three-dimensional holographic projection images outlining light and shadow.

About half an hour later, the encrypted data signal was translated and enhanced by hundreds of galaxy relay stations, and then retransmitted, analyzed into an audio signal and presented on the holographic projection screen in front of Constantine.

"I'm Angus Mengsk." On the opposite side was Angus who hurried home from the parliament: "Mr. Constantine, I understand that you have something very urgent to contact me."

"Yes." Constantine found that Angus was much older than the last time he saw him: "I have a recording of the Federal Parliament here."

"."

When he heard the apocalypse-level nuclear bomb, Angus' straight waist shook a little, but this weakness only lasted for a moment: "Are they really going to do this?"

"Just before June of this year. As far as I know, that's when the sunflowers and midsummer gardens in Stilling are in full bloom, and the Keha people's festival of the year is second only to Christmas." Constantine said.

"We have two orbital defense platforms and a space-based weapon station under construction with Umoyan's assistance." Angus sat quietly like a statue, his newly grown beard trembling: "But that's far away Not enough, our ships can't even penetrate the armor of a battlecruiser."

Angus lowered his head and said after a moment of silence: "The evacuation of civilians must be completed quickly. It will take less than half a month. No, there are still four weeks if the fleet from the fringe galaxy arrives. If Umoyan helps us , that would be much easier."

"Continuously transporting civilians with large transport ships and cargo ships, filling all the rooms with people, and transporting everyone out." He said: "Keha can be rebuilt if it is gone. If it exists, then I might as well draw my gun and kill myself."

Fortunately, Keha only has tens of millions of people. If it is Tarsonis with a population of more than 20 billion, then the time is absolutely impossible.

"I can provide Keha with ships." Constantine said: "But there are still some factories of the Terra family on Keha. I need to recycle the modules of the factories, otherwise the losses of the Terra Group will be uncountable."

"The Mengsk family will bear your loss." At this moment, Angus suddenly turned his head to listen to something: "Wait a minute, Mr. Constantine."

Angus left for a few minutes, and when he came back, he had a few stacks of paper with words printed on it: "I just received news from the Holt family and the Colin family, a man who was threatened by the Umoyan agent with a pornographic scandal Members of the Federal Parliament have also confirmed the federal plan to use nuclear weapons."

"My son Augustus once imagined this possibility, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon."

"It is certainly an effective way to evacuate civilians and disperse them to other planets. But how are you going to do it?" Constantine said.

"First of all, a forced evacuation will definitely cause panic. How many people will believe that there is no way to know, and how many people are willing to go with you, this is unknown. Then Korha will be plunged into internal chaos. Before you arrive, you yourself will collapse."

"Then this information must be made public." Angus said to Constantine.

"I fight with you because of my conscience, God knows what pressure I have been under, and how hard I have tried." Before turning off the communication, Constantine looked at the holographic projection screen: "We may not be forever Friends, but at this moment, I stand with the people of Korha."

May 5, 17:14 a.m. shipboard time.

In the spacious captain's cabin of the Hyperion, there is a wall covered with sheathed alloy steel knives and cold weapons. Next to the bookshelf full of books is a chair facing the observation window of the captain's cabin.

"Have you seen it all?" Angus' voice came: "That's what our friend in Tarsonis told us."

"A thousand apocalypse-level nuclear bombs would be enough to flatten Steeling and the surrounding mountains, and evaporate the entire PanOceania. In the center of the nuclear explosion, people and buildings would disappear in an instant. That is true. The sense of ashes disappears.”

"Migration." Augustus spit out a word, and then said: "Go to Umoyan, to those far away from the Terra Federation and even the Koprulu star area, those paradises that have not been discovered by humans."

Augustus had tried his best to prevent the Federal Assembly from passing this resolution, but the bill appeared and passed too early, and all operations and arrangements were too late.He did make some friends in Tarsonis, but not many.

"The Umoyan Council is very efficient. They only convened a brief meeting on the 17th and decided to provide Keha IV with all the ships of the Umoyan National Defense Army. At the same time, they will mobilize all civilian ports and ships. All interstellar airlines are out of service. Umoyan promises to accommodate 2000-3000 million Kaha people. Housing and feeding so many people is no easy task even for such an efficient government.” Angus said.

"The Terra family provided twelve Leviathan-class transport ships that can carry a total of 20 people, and the transportation company under the Huot family sent five Mammoth-class transport ships. The cruiser is still huge and can carry 25 people."

"Mercenaries," said Augustus, "if that's not enough, I know a group of mercenaries who will have ships if they are paid enough."

"Crowding as many people as possible is the most important thing," he said.

"The most important thing is time. The plan can't keep up with the changes. The changes in the situation have exceeded my expectations. The Phoenix plan must be revised immediately. The raid on the Dalarian shipyard must be carried out in advance."

"But the strength of the current fleet is not enough. There is a fleet stationed in the Dalarion Shipyard, including at least four behemoth-class battlecruisers, and more than [-] starfighters attached to it." Angus said worriedly .

"With the Kelmorian Federation completely defeated, they will not believe that there is a fleet that dares to attack the Federation's largest shipyard." Augustus said.

"No, before I hand over more warships to you...wait." Angus said: "Someone must stay in Korha, and Korhal's orbit still has a satellite base and a completed main frame orbit Defensive platforms. We will fight the Federation Fleet to the death in space."

"...Before I lead the fleet to seize the Federation's shipyard, someone must stand firm in Keha." Augustus looked at his gray-haired father.

"I have appointed Colonel Field."

"No, I'll stay in Keha," Angus said.

"I don't agree." Augustus said firmly.

"But I am the one who makes the decision." Angus smiled: "I am your father."

"."

"We still have means to delay time and create chaos." Augustus stood up, pacing uneasily.

"The video of the meeting given by the Colin family and the audio recording of the Tyra family gave us an opportunity. We must spread the news so that we can smoothly transfer civilians and help us gain support from public opinion."

It has to be said that the full-length video given by the Colin family is even more outrageous than Constantine's recording.If they hadn't already learned the inside information and knew what was going to be discussed in this meeting, it meant that they had recorded every meeting.

"Even if the protests and voices of the people are louder, it is very unlikely that the Federal Parliament will give up the delivery of nuclear bombs to Keha, but this may cause some people in the federal army who still have conscience to fall to us."

"I think so too, but the promotion of the newly opened newspapers Pravda and Keha Global News Network is far from enough." Angus said.

"Then occupy UNN's headquarters building." Augustus said, "Leave this to my people."

Angus nodded without saying goodbye, and the signal disappeared in an instant.

In the silence, Augustus picked up a cup of espresso without sugar, and gave an order to the dark and empty deep space outside the observation window:
"Ghost 24718 and all Security Council agents, you are on your way to Tarsonis, and the flight log tells me you will arrive in two standard Earth-solar days."

"After you wake up from the hibernation pod, you will be informed that the order has been changed."

“命令更替为，在标准地球公元纪年历2489年5月21日凌晨一点，你们将与尤摩扬影子卫士与尤摩扬国家情报局特工一起行动，夺取塔桑尼斯城UNN宇宙新闻网总部大楼的控制权并坚守那里至少15分钟，在UNN的演播室里上传以下的音频资料——联邦议会SVA-89-13-44录像与联邦议会SVA-89-14-22音轨。”

"The new mission briefing will be sent to your personal terminals, please read it carefully after waking up from the hibernation chamber, because this is related to the fate of Keha IV."

"It is necessary for me to tell you the significance of this operation - we must expose to the whole universe through the UNN the crime of the federal parliament's decision to deliver a thousand apocalypse-level nuclear bombs to Korha IV in June. Whether they admit it or not, this There will be further revolts, as the people will know what heinous atrocities the Federation will do to its people."

"It is with a heavy heart that I want to tell you that your parents, your family members, your compatriots who have never met but are connected by the common mother star Korha, are always under the shadow of nuclear strikes. Raising a generation The great planet of the Dekhars is about to become a place of death, and our loved ones will suffer from nuclear radiation.

"Finally, I want to tell you how urgent time is. We are racing against time. The fate of the entire Keha IV and all Keha people depends on your success." After saying this, Augustus continued He drank the espresso in the cup little by little.

"We're going to buy time for the evacuation of our fellow Korha people, and someone will have to make sacrifices, including me."
