StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 232 Domination
"Location Sixth District -56, the experimental sample has defected, and emergency plans No. 2 to No. 5 have been activated." Browa, the director of the scientific research station in front of the control panel, was sweating on his forehead, trembling in both hands, but he did not turn around. Instead of running, he trembled while issuing emergency plan instructions in the calmest tone.

The Hydra Hydralisk swam on the smooth floor of the scientific research station like a huge snake, and the titanium alloy blade on the long tail let out a sharp and piercing scream as it slid across the ground.It climbed over several parapet fences in a row, crushing them like building blocks and toys.

"Protect the marshal!" Corporal Faraday rushed to the front of Augustus immediately, followed by several revolutionary troops in power armor, standing between the marshal and the enemy.

When the alarm and the flashing red warning lights began to scream, the scientific research personnel in the scientific research station ran away.The difference between the Kakha scientists and the Cerberus Corporation employees is that the former are still trying to maintain order and charge towards their leader, while the latter are only thinking about running for their lives.

"It's coming for me." Augustus stood still.

Because this scientific research station is located in the extremely cold polar region and the environment is harsh, it is impossible to station too many soldiers.And Augustus himself didn't bring too many people with him, only a few guards around him.

Facing this terrifying beast, Augustus showed no other expressions except frost-like indifference.People have never seen fear and cowardice in this illustrious leader of the revolutionary army, as if he is a piece of steel that has just been tempered.

As for Arcturus and Reynolds beside Augustus, they all behaved calmly.Arcturus just pulled out the P-30 electromagnetic pistol he carried with him, and cursed a damn beast.And Raynor took aim with his Colt revolver, saying that Arcturus was right.

"Kill it." He ordered coldly, without any hesitation because of how precious a rare live zerg sample was.

Augustus's guards opened fire immediately. They were well-equipped and well-trained, and they steadily fired at the roaring Hydralisk.

However, Cerberus' planned transformation of the alien monster did cast its body into a body of steel, and Gauss rifle bullets could only leave non-lethal dents in its steel armor.

The Hydralisk possessed some kind of intelligence from a predator, and its snake-like body walked around the consoles and glass containers in the scientific research station to avoid bullets, grenades and electromagnetic pulse grenades.

The Hydralisk is at home in such an environment, like a real snake in the jungle, it zigzags quickly through the few obstacles in front of Augustus, as fast as black lightning.

The muzzles of the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army moved sideways with the high-speed Hydralisk, but they still failed to cause any damage to the monster armed with solid chitin carapace and fine steel armor.When it came into the attack range, everyone could hear the squawking sound of his pair of titanium alloy blades popping out, which was as crisp as the buzzing of the blades when they were unsheathed.

At this time, the distance between the Hydra Hydralisk and Augustus and others was close enough. It raised its upper body with a huge crown like an angry cobra, its back was raised, and the strong muscles in the spinal groove quickly Shrinking, ejecting countless pieces of sharpened shiny titanium alloy blades at several times the speed of sound.These titanium alloys shone under the cold white light of the scientific research station, and the pieces shone like snowflakes.

"Sarah." Augustus said loudly, staring at the fast approaching Hydra Hydralisk.

"I'm here." Kerrigan didn't wear the ghost agent environment mimetic combat uniform that can increase psionic power to a certain extent today, but followed Augustus in a heroic military uniform.

Even so, Kerrigan's powerful psychic power is still enough for her to condense an invisible wall of psychic power in front of everyone to block all titanium alloy blades.

Since being rescued by Augustus and removing the psychic suppressor at the back of his head, Kerrigan's psychic energy is no longer restrained and has become even more powerful than when he was Ghost Agent.

People with a PSI level of eight or above can use the ability to change shape and control objects like superpowers, and higher levels are listed as extremely dangerous levels, because those people are affected by emotions and other uncontrollable factors Detonated psychic bomb.

There are very few psykers in this part of the Koprulu sector. People in the Ghost Project generally believe that this type of psykers must be restrained by additional equipment, otherwise the damage they bring will Far beyond the value it brings to the Federation.

At this moment, Kerrigan's psychic index is still rising, and the psychic power surging in her body is enough to shock the jaws of people who specify a human PSI level, and it is believed that she is the strongest among all known psychics of mankind The big one.

The highest level of human PSI is level ten, and there are only two people in the entire Tyrannian Federation who have reached this level.But level ten only has a lower limit, not an upper limit.

Because there are so few people at this level, the person in charge of the Tyrann Federation Ghost Project believes that there is neither any standard to follow nor is it necessary to set a level above ten.

And there is no doubt that Kerrigan at this time is more powerful than when she was judged as a tenth-level psyker.

The physical psychic energy formed a kind of arc like psychic lightning around Kerrigan. She looked directly into the eyes of the Hydralisk, and sent it to the monster's mind with the psychopathic ability that hit its brain directly. command to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, just as Augustus saw it, the Hydralisk abruptly stopped its forward momentum—meekly put away its two pairs of titanium alloy sickles and slowly retreated .

While on Victor V, the researchers there discovered that Kerrigan had some kind of incomprehensible resonance with the zerg there, and this was unheard of even among other psykers.And it seems that Kerrigan can even order a larva to cocoon and hatch immediately if she wants to.

Although researchers believe that the zerg do not have the same psionic powers as humans and protoss, they are very sensitive to psionic powers.The psychic power of a human psyker has a fatal attraction to the zerg, what a lamp is to a flying insect, and honey is to a bee.While ordinary psykers can only attract the attention of the zerg, Kerrigan's connection with this race is inherently stronger.

"Cease fire." Augustus quickly made a judgment on this unbelievable scene, and he issued an order: "Call more soldiers, blockade the entire scientific research station, and arrest all participants in this Hydra Hydralisk half-mechanized attack!" Transformers."

Although they didn't understand why the crazy Hydra Hydralisk became docile, the soldiers were still carrying out Augustus' orders.The polar scientific research station was blocked within a few minutes, and more Revolutionary Army soldiers were urgently transferred here.

"What did you do?" Not to mention the still serious Augustus, Arcturus next to him was really surprised.

"Mind control? It's like controlling a human being. When in the ghost academy, psykers above level eight will receive similar training-to skillfully use their own psychic power and use spiritual power to control other people. Simply put Say, even using psionics to take over control of his brain over his body works for animals." Kerrigan seemed to suddenly remember something at this moment, and she screamed.

"God, Augustus won't allow me to control the zerg"

Before the words fell, the Hydra Hydralisk that was slowly retreating into the cage roared again, apparently Kerrigan had loosened his mind control.

"For God's sake, Kerrigan, you must control this monster now." Raynor screamed too.

"How much can you control? One or more?" Arcturus' eyes locked on Kerrigan.

"I haven't tried it." Kerrigan's attention was focused on the Hydra Hydralisk: "I think if I try to do that, it should be possible. It's just that I can't control it too much , because my psychic power is limited."

"But Augustus won't let me do that," she repeated.

"Can other psionic agents do it too? If so, we don't have to spend time and effort implanting mechanical nerves to control the zerg." Arcturus looked at Kerrigan differently.At the same time, he wondered why Augustus didn't allow her to control the zerg, obviously knowing that Kerrigan had this ability.

"At present, it seems that only I can do it." Kerrigan replied.

Arcturus stared at Kerrigan, absorbing the meaning of her words.

Arcturus was not ignorant of the red-haired ghostly agent who was always around Augustus.Kerrigan once tried to sneak into the Mengsk Sky Tower to assassinate Angus, and this alone was enough for Arcturus' Sons of Kehal to conduct a series of investigations on her.

After all, Kerrigan was by Augustus' side, and Arcturus took his brother's safety very seriously.

The assassination of Angus Mengsk was an important factor that prompted Arcturus to change his attitude towards the Federation and the Revolution, because since Angus was assassinated, it meant that Catherine and Dorothy might also be in danger.

Arcturus has no objection to Augustus's appointment of the ghost agent who once assassinated his father. He believes that if he were Augustus, he would definitely make the same choice.

Since Kerrigan is an ace ghost, it would be a waste to execute her.

"Why don't you let her control the zerg?" Arcturus asked Augustus bluntly.

"Because it's not stable, Arcturus, Kerrigan's case is a special case, and it's an unsolved mystery as to why she was able to do that." What Augustus didn't say was that he was more worried about Kai Regan's contact with the zerg brought her to the attention of the swarm, and that certainly pushed her in the direction of becoming the Queen of Blades.

Augustus remembered what Kerrigan had done since becoming Queen of Blades - nearly 80 billion people had died at the hands of the Swarm during Wings of Liberty alone.

As far as Augustus is concerned, he must firmly control Kerrigan and prevent her from heading for a nightmarish ending.

This is why Augustus would rather choose to support the Cerberus Corporation to use mechanical transformation to control the zerg than to let Kerrigan try to control the zerg.

Kerrigan's ability is indeed not stable, her talent in this aspect is not enough to support her to control too many Zergs, and no one can guarantee whether the Zergs she controls will suddenly lose control. Get burned.

The number of Zerg in the hands of the Revolutionary Army is not large, and they are all Zerglings and Hydra Hydralisks, which is not enough to become a military force that cannot be ignored.

While Arcturus was talking to Augustus, a whole company of heavily armed Revolutionary Army soldiers walked into the scientific research station. They carried hellfire flamethrowers and individual rockets, and they were powerful enough to blow up an entire army. The firepower of an arc tank.

This group of revolutionary soldiers equipped with heavy firepower lined up in front of Augustus and others, spread out a wide fan and walked towards the retreating Hydra Hydralisk.

"I don't let Kerrigan get too much contact with the zerg because of her. If she didn't want to stay too far away from me, then I wouldn't even bring her here." Augustus patiently said to his The elder brother Arcturus expounded his thoughts.

"I don't think the risk is worth it compared to the benefits of controlling the zerg." Arcturus looked at Augustus, and he realized that his brother had never cared about a woman— —Although Arcturus never saw other women by Augustus' side.

For a moment, Arcturus fell into deep thought.Arcturus is selfish deep in his heart, and he will never have anything to do with altruism in his life.For him, apart from his family, there is nothing that cannot be abandoned in order to achieve a certain goal.

"I respect your decision. We can defeat the Confederate army without Kerrigan controlling the zerg." Finally, Arcturus said what he had been saying to Augustus all along .

"At least for now I won't let her try to control the zerg," Augustus said.

"You know when is the most suitable time." Arcturus said, "In order to achieve my revenge on the Tyrann Federation, I don't mind waiting a little longer."

"And I will only be satisfied if I see the decapitation of the enemy, and nothing else will come out of it," Arcturus said with the same indifference he had when he killed the Kel-Morians and pirates.

"Ah—" Suddenly, Kerrigan screamed loudly, staggering and almost falling to the ground.

At this time, as if to confirm what Augustus said, the Hydralisk controlled by Kerrigan roared sharply again.It didn't back away anymore, its lantern-like orange-red eyes looked around, as if trying to remember what it looked like here.

"A more powerful psionic creature replaced my control of the Hydra Hydralisk." Kerrigan's face paled: "I can feel that existence, but it is far away from us, far away."

"What's that?" Renault asked.

"Master," said Augustus.

"Kill it! Immediately!"

　thank.
