StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 266 Trapped Protoss Troops

Mar Sara Airport.

The sun was about to set, and cold and darkness shrouded the brightly lit airport. The brilliance of the lights and signal indicators covered the tall and low buildings in the port with a thin layer of red, blue, and white intertwined plating.

The air port was full of Mar Sara refugees. These poor people who arrived at their destination after several setbacks immediately showed joyful expressions after seeing the lights that symbolized the brilliance of human civilization.But it didn't take long for all the expressions to freeze on their faces, because they would soon find that there were tens of thousands of people waiting to evacuate in front of them.

At this time, the dark side of human nature will begin to magnify. Everyone hopes that they will be the first to escape, and the collapse of order is sometimes just a moment.If it weren't for the revolutionary soldiers with live ammunition still maintaining order, this escape would quickly turn into a human-to-human killing or a crazy stampede.

The broad dark silver alloy platforms of the berthing area were packed with Mar Saras eager to flee like stuffed mushrooms in a mushroom can.They pushed and shoved towards the boarding platform. Every time a red-painted revolutionary army transport ship took off or landed, the crowd would move slowly.

The turbulent crowd can even push the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army wearing CMC power armor. At this time, the people squeezed in the middle are undoubtedly the most painful. Once they fall in the crowd, they will never have a chance to get up again. .

Everyone felt genuine tension and fear, afraid that someone would suddenly tell them that the spaceship launched just now was the last batch, and the people who boarded the spaceship used various methods to vent their joy of remaining after the catastrophe.

There were all kinds of voices mixed in the crowd, cheering and crying at the same time, and some people prayed from time to time.

Mar Sara is one of the most tenacious peoples among the Tyranids. Before the federal army intervened, they were even able to briefly contend against the Zerg with their old weapons and Molotov cocktails. Several towns and even villages were rumored to hunt and kill alien creatures. Even more commonplace.But that doesn't mean they don't feel scared as humans, let alone the terrifying and countless alien monsters they face.

The encounter of the Sara galaxy is destined to be an inescapable page in the history of mankind in the Koprulu sector. This is the first confrontation between human beings and two other alien races in the universe, and it ends in a disastrous defeat for human beings.

At this moment, Augustus, who had just experienced a brutal battle, was walking quickly on the road from the port entrance to the command center. Only Sarah Kerrigan, Corporal Faraday and a few soldiers followed him.

A few hundred yards behind Augustus is the fortification wall outside the airport. It is full of automatic machine guns, revolutionary soldiers with live ammunition, and boxes of ammunition. Dozens of searchlight beams cross and sweep in the air .

In the past dozen hours, the Zerg that came following the last batch of refugees has controlled all areas outside the central city of Mar Sara. With the city central park outside the airport as the boundary, the infection is still moving toward City centers sprawl.

Outside the silver-grey metallic fortification walls, the deep roar of the Zerg and the click of its claws stepping on the broken glass could be vaguely heard. In the darkness, countless pairs of red eyes were watching the people in the airport.

Soldiers in thick red power armor patrolled the fortification walls. Machine gunners wiped 20mm caliber electromagnetic guns and 12mm Gauss machine guns on the high platform built with boxes and metal ladders. The upper base of the dense missile towers kept Spinning around, ready to fire at the Allosaurus flying across the sky at any time.

Guarding Mar Sara are all veterans of the Augustus Guards Division. They followed Augustus when he established the Keha Revolutionary Army. They have fought against the most outstanding army of the Tyrannian Federation. , and is now fighting on the front lines of the battlefield between humans and zerg.

Also known as the Augustus Guard, the Marshal's Guards were directly loyal to Augustus and his Mengsk family.These Keha veterans are well-equipped, wearing CMC-300 power armor with red background and gold trim, and white Mengsk family scar wolf head badge on their helmets.

Augustus waved to his veterans as he walked, which immediately attracted a lot of admiration.

In front of Augustus, the launch port of Mar Sara Air Port will launch a batch of shuttle planes and transport ships every few minutes. The orange flames turn the ground and the faces of the people looking up below into red, The tail flames of hundreds of propellers formed a wall of flames climbing up in the dark night.Every time a group of spaceships lifted off and left, bursts of cheers would erupt from the crowd.

These spaceships, which have been back and forth between the surface and space many times, have long been scarred by the scorching of zerg acid, whether flying from the ground to space or landing on the surface of Mar Sara is a dangerous Heavy adventure.

In the past few days and nights, the Revolutionary Army has lost more than 20 APOD transport ships and all the people on them, and more fighters and fighter pilots disappeared while escorting the transport ships with Mutalisk.

"They were cheering for the spaceships that lifted off—the same was done by the people on the Korha IV before fleeing." Augustus's dark gray eyes reflected the brilliant lights of the airport, his serious and tough face There is often a melancholy and gloomy look on the face.

"Sooner or later there will come a time when human beings will no longer have to flee their homes."

"War can't break out on human soil." Kerrigan knew what Augustus was thinking at this moment, and she was staring at the man next to her, fascinated by his thoughts and everything about him.

"It is better to defend the enemy on the battlefield than to neglect the enemy on the wall." Augustus said.

"Well said, Augustus. But this is actually something that the Federation should worry about. We don't have to worry about the fate of all mankind. To be honest, the life and death of these Mar Sara people has nothing to do with us. Say, it's just a dog meddling with a mouse." At this time, Tychus Finley, Harnack Hank, and Jim Raynor walked over together.

They had obviously just been removed from the battlefield, acid burns and dents in their crimson powered armor.Harnack also suffered a loss. His helmet was pierced by a Hydralisk in combat, and a piece of flesh about four inches long and three inches wide was cut off from his right cheek. Painkillers hold on.

Of course, in Harnack's mouth, he was only scratched by the little snake.

Harnack was completely disfigured this time, and a monumental scar would inevitably be left on his face.But the current laser plastic surgery and skin grafting are advanced enough, as long as he is willing to spend money, everything will not be a problem.

"That's what I think," Harnack said vaguely.

"It's different, Tychus, if all human beings are finished, then what's the point of our revolution." Raynor took off his helmet, revealing his bruised and swollen face: "It's best, Zerg and Protoss We can solve all the troops of the Federation at one time, so that we can easily kill the Federation Parliament and those nobles in Tarsonis. Then unite all the colonies to fight against the enemy."

"It seems that the Federation has no intention of defending the territory at all, and wants to be a turtle. They have been shrinking their defenses and turning a blind eye to the fall of the border territories."

"What's the matter with your face?" Augustus knew that Hanak's face was injured, but he didn't know about Renault's situation: "Hank, I think you should take a rest."

"My troops cannot do without me," Harnack replied.

"It's a fight, well, it's over." The man who loves to drive the vulture car just fell heavily because of the failure of the fuel engine of his car. Naturally, the Marsala car god Renault I would rather admit that I lost a fight than say it.

"Why don't you see if old Tychus is hurt?" Tychus popped up.

"You look as strong as a bull." Augustus shook his head: "I never doubted that."

"Just come back." Then, Augustus asked the revolutionary generals in front of him: "What about the others?"

"We're okay, even the brothers who died in battle we brought back as much as possible, but for those troops that were almost wiped out, the situation is too bad. Those unarmed refugees are facing a worse situation, From time to time there were people left behind during the flight to the various airports and makeshift landing sites, those who got lost or were eaten by the zerg—those who didn’t return,” Raynor said.

"... There are a large number of missing person reports everywhere." Augustus had already ordered the Marshal's headquarters to get in touch with the communication consoles of each division, telling his generals and officers not to leave anyone behind, no matter who had been Be a villain or a good guy.

"I'm afraid we have no time to wait any longer."

"Send a few more mobile troops and near-ground armed speedboats to search for survivors nearby. As long as they succeed once, they may save many people." Augustus always pays attention to the sky when he is talking, alert to the possibility at any time Allosaurus or other arthropod-like and beetle-like and cichlid-like zerg appeared.

"But it's already dark, even if some people are still alive, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive tonight." Tychus was not very happy: "The most terrible thing is that bugs don't sleep at night."

"I'll take people there." Renault said, "I'm familiar with this area. As long as we can save a few more people, it's worth the extra risk."

As Renault said, he walked to another apron to organize the manpower. At the same time, the noisy roar outside the fortification wall became more and more intensive, and the sound of flapping wings and bursts of sharp screams came from the air.

Augustus' eyes widened a little, and he looked up towards the sky.

The sky is like a black curtain with countless stars shining, many of which are almost as bright as the moon, each of which is a large Mammoth-class and Prowler-class human transport ship that is being lifted into space or their burning wreckage.

However, the bright starlight was gradually obscured by black shadows, and a large number of Zerg flying creatures began to hover in the sky.There are so many of them that it almost looks like a moving rain cloud.

Even though the Jormungandr swarm is a hive mainly based on ground combat forces, their number is quite large. Even if the proportion of flying creatures is relatively small, their number far exceeds the human air force.

Except for the airport protected by a large number of plain steel fortification walls, bunkers and electromagnetic guns, there is darkness except for the light of searchlights at several outposts.

In the darkness that Augustus could not see, the purple-black creep had already covered more than 80% of the urban area of ​​Mar Sara.On the viscous creeping carpet, the dark red zerg tissue granulation dangled among the hyphae, abscesses, and human corpses and extended to the sky, like a scene of fungal growth that was fast forwarded countless times.

The dark brown and flesh-colored zerg spiers replaced the magnificent glass curtain wall domes of human skyscrapers, and the eggs were buried deep in the warm underground hatch chambers and the gradually cooling human corpses.In the moist nest, the human beings who were dragged into the ground were covered by fly-egg-like white jelly, and their terrified, distorted expressions were still clearly visible.

In the darkness outside the wall, the sound of tens of thousands of zerg running and the sound of restless teeth barking one after another.

Immediately, harsh sirens sounded on the fortification wall, and the officers kept running to ensure that every heavy machine gun squad and artillery position could fire normally.There was commotion and exclamation from the crowd, but it seemed that those who were still stranded at the airport had made up their minds that if the Zerg really came, they would fight to the death.

"Damn it, the bugs are here so soon." Tychus cursed under his breath. "Did you hear what those twisted little monsters said?"

"dinner's ready."

"I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly." He said, "After this, I must pack up and go back to my hometown."

"Fighting bugs, I'm sorry for my little salary."

"You can't find a pretty girl is the reason you complain every day. If you want to, I would rather you go back now." Augustus walked towards the fortification wall behind him, listening carefully to the movement outside.

"Oh—I'm just talking casually." Tychus shrugged and followed up shamelessly: "I like burning bugs the most."

"The Zerg doesn't seem to be coming towards us." At this time, Kerrigan said while stroking his analgesic forehead, "I can sense the thinking of the swarm."

"It's a good thing." Tychus laughed. "It's either the Omega Squadron stranded on the ground or a bunch of unlucky guys. Thank them for drawing fire for us."

"But these people should be not too far away from us, otherwise those bugs wouldn't pass by here."

"What else can you sense?" Augustus looked at Kerrigan with concern.

For a high-level human psyker like Kerrigan, as long as she concentrates and senses carefully, her spiritual and spiritual voice will be significantly amplified, just like ordinary people hearing the sound of raindrops fall like thunder.

"...the protoss." Kerrigan paused.

"Contact our reconnaissance force" Augustus had just finished speaking when he received an urgent report from the command center.

"Marshal, the scout boats have spotted a small protoss ground force at the northernmost tip of Mar Sara. We don't know why they are there, but it seems that those protoss are in trouble ...the zerg have surrounded them." The report, laced with electrical noise, came from his headset.

"How far are they from here?" asked Augustus.

"About twenty-five miles," answered the other side immediately.

Augustus was silent, just frowning and thinking about something, and waited for four or five seconds before saying: "What about Renault, he just took someone out."

"Wait, you're not going to save them. We can't do that," Tychus said in surprise.

"If it was Tadarin, I would never pay attention to them." Augustus said: "But if it is these protoss, it will be different."

"You expect the protoss to appreciate us, and then they'll let us know before they explode?" Tychus said harshly.

"What good does it do to make friends with aliens?" he said.

"We don't do things that are not beneficial."

　Thanks for the support!
