Chapter 267 Only Dead Bugs Are Good Bugs
"The exact location is."

"Tangming Street, No. 411, Block [-], in the northern part of Ma Sara City. This can be found on any satellite map, Marshal."

"Convey my order to General James Reynolds, let him immediately lead his troops to the above-mentioned location to perform a rescue mission. Note that the rescue target is the protoss." Augustus used his communicator to accurately convey his own Order.

"Yes, the Marshal's batch of spaceships is about to take off, the chief of the general staff asked me to ask you"

"I'm going to stay on the surface, young man, until everyone is safely evacuated."

When Augustus spoke, he had already approached the fortification wall outside the airport, and was climbing up the fortification wall widened and reinforced with fine steel through a spliced ​​metal ladder.

Clutching a C-10 Redhead Specter Kerrigan followed Augustus, followed by Corporal Faraday, Tychus, and a squad of Marshal's Guard soldiers.

"Damn it. Jimmy boy is going to be surprised, isn't he? He's going to ask our marshal if he's joking." The soldiers behind felt that the ladder was crumbling.

"I learned a lot from the Tadarin protoss, that is, the protoss is a race that is extremely arrogant and despises life. Just like bugs, it is useless to talk about morality and kindness to the protoss, because they have no This kind of concept. The temper of the protoss is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard." Tychus is still exporting to Augustus his views on the race of the protoss.

"I agree with your point of view, Tychus. But in other words, this statement is also suitable for you." Augustus climbed up the wide fortification wall and looked down at Ma Sa outside the wall. pull city.

The engineering regiment of the Revolutionary Army built this solid line of defense in less than four days using modular plates and all the materials they had at the Ma Sa Air Port and the Federal Engineering Station, but everyone just hoped that it could be as good as possible. Block the zerg for a while.

On the walls of the fortifications stood heavily armed Revolutionary Army soldiers, with electromagnetic guns, Gauss heavy machine guns and flamethrowers, and dozens of rotating ground-to-ground missiles ready to fire at any time.After Augustus climbed the fortification wall, the officers and soldiers on it immediately saluted Augustus.

After the appearance of Augustus, the warriors were obviously in high spirits.Presumably, these iron-blooded fighters would not hesitate to let them kill the Zerg's lair.

"...I don't see it that way." Tychus's eyes froze and he was about to explode, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with Augustus.Tychus, whose face was purple from holding back, heard a burst of laughter afterwards, so he could only yell at the soldiers of the Marshal's Guard behind him in annoyance.

"Don't laugh! Damn it, you idiots are only worthy of kissing my ass!"

"What do you think of my Marshal's Guard? Each of them is a hundred times stronger than you. If they were still in the Army, they would have been officers." Standing behind Tychus, Corporal Faraday had his face wet Full of each other's saliva.

Corporal Faraday immediately said sullenly: "What are you? If Marshal Augustus didn't value you, you would only be a robber or a bandit now."

Tychus stood still immediately, his face full of anger, the veins on his cheeks bulging, and he looked ready to fight.

But Tychus was no brainer, and all his bravado served his own purposes.Tychus knew that the marshal's soldiers were deeply trusted by him, and it would not be a good thing to offend these people—the worst thing he feared was blowing pillows.

"Now is not the time to fight. Next time, I will definitely have a good fight with you." Tychus put down a scene and followed Augustus disheartened.

"The protoss did help us a lot, Tychus." Augustus ignored the furious Tychus, knowing that the latter would cool down as quickly as he lost his temper.

"There are sighting reports from protoss ground troops everywhere, at least 10,000+ people were rescued because of their actions to stop the zerg. And, if the protoss doesn't care about our life or death, then they can use their star destroyer weapons to destroy the entire Marsala." Augustus did not look at Tychus, but into the deep darkness beyond the walls of the fortifications.

"This proves that the Protoss hopes—or they are trying to keep humans alive. As for the planets, cities and humans that the Protoss believes have been infected and cannot be cured, they will not hesitate to put these Burn it up with the zerg."

The area in front of Augustus used to be a central park surrounded by greenery. In the arid and barren Mar Sara, this central park is an extremely rare and beautiful landscape, because there are more than a dozen geysers and fountains in its center. Dense woods.The people of Mar Sara once described this as the worst image project of the end of the century, but now this beautiful park is covered with a thick layer of purple-black creep.

Parked in the park are the cars of many dignitaries and their families, but at this moment they have turned into twisted alloy steel frames wrapped in tumors and stickiness.The ground is full of fragments of broken glass and floor tiles, countless zerg are gathering in the darkness, and those red eyes are shining brightly in the darkness.

The zerg swarms are coming from the south of the air port, and a large number of zerg are crossing the central park in front of the fortification wall and running towards the north. The zerg closest to Augustus is only two or three hundred away from the machine guns of the revolutionary army. The soldiers on the wall could even see the glowing red eyes of the springtails and the colorful crests of the Hydralisks in the light of the searchlights.

The sound of countless claws stepping on the ground and the rustling sound of the horny scales of the Hydra Hydralisk's abdomen scraping against the ground converged like a roar.As far as Augustus could remember, he had only heard such a sound in documentaries on the Record Channel—the sound of millions of wildebeest herds running simultaneously on the African savannah.

What puzzled Augustus was that most of the zerg ignored the brightly lit airport and headed for the northern part of the fallen city.

"That direction... is the Protoss?" Augustus looked in that direction.

"Protoss are much more attractive to zerg than humans." Kerrigan stood on Augustus' right hand and tapped the goggles on his forehead.

"Finding and devouring all protoss - this is the most deeply imprinted in the DNA of the zerg. The zerg react greatly to our psykers, which may be because they regard human psykers as star spirits. Spirit." She carefully felt the thoughts of all the Zerg within a mile, and found that their simple and single thoughts only had the desire to devour the Protoss.

"Taldarin has told us very clearly that in their race, every protoss is a psyker, and bugs like psykers the most." Tychus patted his butt and walked over.

"Every protoss is a nasty telepath, and all protoss can read minds. A fifth-level psyker can make the Zerg rush over by smelling the smell from more than ten light-years away. So many stars When the spirits get together, the worm will have to lose his mind."

"We still don't know much about these two races." Kerrigan shook her head.

"Why did the Zerg swarm—or the Zerg in other words, invade the Sara galaxy? What kind of historical relationship do the Protoss and the Zerg have?" She said: "It couldn't be more obvious. We knew each other existed before."

"Humans will start a war for many reasons, nothing more than a clash of cultures and the pursuit of territory and resources. As for the zerg and protoss, we can't figure out what they think, just like rat ants can't figure out what humans are thinking like something."

"It will be figured out, there is only one in-depth communication between us and the aliens." Augustus said.

"Maybe we can reason with the protoss, but what about the zerg?" Kerrigan said.

"To deal with the Zerg, what we can do is to unite with the protoss to defeat them." And Augustus said, he turned on a holographic projection device he carried with him: "Of course, what I hope most is to be able to directly or indirectly Take control of a hive force."

This holographic projection device itself only has the function of projection, and its only and most important function is to project a small holographic projection plan of the city of Mar Sara in front of Augustus.

On this holographic map, the zerg are represented by red triangles, and the protoss are represented by ice-blue squares.At this moment, a large number of red triangles are converging towards the north of the city, and on the background of fluorescent green, it looks like a stream of hot steam venting from the pressure relief valve of a battlecruiser.

The ice blue square representing the Protoss is being swallowed by the Zerg at an extremely fast speed, while the dark green icon of the Human Rescue Force is like a sharp knife tearing a hole in the Zerg.

"Good job, Jimmy," Augustus said, looking at the screen.

While talking, the roar of the transport ship and the cheers of the crowd came from behind Augustus and others, and more people escaped from this actual hell on earth.

In the distance, the swarm responded with bursts of roars, and the sound of sharp chirping and flapping wings was getting closer and closer, as if billions of giant locusts were flapping their wings at the same time.

"Bugs aren't blind after all," Tychus said slowly, in his low, magnetic voice. "They're coming."

As Tychus said, the sudden appearance of zerg flying creatures in the sky was a wake-up call.

The huge king worm is like a hot air balloon suspended in the sky. Although it is just a black spot on the top of the head in the eyes of humans on the ground, this strange and alien shape is like a mixture of crab claws, jellyfish body and carapace. Creatures are much larger than ground zerglings and Hydralisks.

Thousands of king worms are suspended in the sky, like balloons parked among the high-rise buildings in the central city of Mar Sara.

Every king worm is surrounded by dozens or even more different dragons. This flying creature that has been incorporated into the gene pool by the swarm has frightening fangs and claws and a pair of broad skin and fleshy wings.Its snake-like body occupies most of its body, like a biological cannon that constantly spews acid.

Each Allosaurus has many pairs of orange-red eyes, like red dots in the air that symbolize danger signals.

There are also a large number of creatures similar to flying crabs and large bats around the king worm and the different dragons, especially for the latter, these flesh-colored bats with large wings are obviously not afraid of human artillery fire at all.

As soon as they see human fighter planes or spaceships, they will crash into them head-on, but it is not considered the terrible explosion produced by the chemical catalysis in their bodies, they just hit a high-speed flying fighter plane or spaceship head-on at their flying speed. A starship would also be a terrible disaster.

On the ground, the number of Hydralisks in the Yermungandard Swarm even exceeds the number of Zerglings. On the surface, about seven or eight giant Hydralisks with blood-red carapaces and huge crowns are leading them. ethnic group.

"The bugs are coming!" The soldiers on the sentry tower shouted loudly, and everyone rushed to their posts.

"I just need to kill tons of bugs to refresh my mind." Tychus's bad personality shows in various aspects, but he is undoubtedly a bug exterminator: "I killed a lot of bugs, does it matter if I kill a few more? "

"Only dead bugs are good bugs."

Saying that, Tychus walked up to the machine gun turret, "politely" asked the main shooter to get off, and then pulled up the heavy machine gun and started shooting happily.

This man may be a villain with a bad character, but if he is asked to do bad things or fight wars, the villain Tychus will not hesitate.

"The enemy is only worthy of licking our assholes!" Tychus yelled cursingly, shell casings flying under the orange gunfire.

"Free fire! Don't save ammunition!" When the commander on the fortification wall gave the order, everyone on the fortification wall opened fire at the same time.

The Zerglings and Hydra Hydralisks in the front row immediately fell under the intensive firepower of the Revolutionary Army. Blood, broken carapaces and hissing immediately resounded through the entire night sky.

Each man injected himself with a modified Umoyan Stimulant before the fight, providing an adrenaline that sustained the fighters for more than six hours.

Zerg one after another fell in front of the human Gauss rifles, and the 8mm caliber piercer spike bullets could easily tear apart human skin and body armor.However, the soldiers had to waste a lot of bullets to penetrate the hard chitin carapace of the zerg, and now they had to use special depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets to achieve initial results in dealing with ultralisks.

Augustus stood shoulder to shoulder with the other soldiers, holding the Gauss rifle in his hand, and shot the zerg close to the fortification wall one by one.At the beginning, Augustus still had enough energy to aim, but later the number of Zerg has become so large that it can be easily strafed without aiming.

It has to be said that the vibration of the rifle and the howling of the zerg's carapace are indeed things that make people feel a surge of adrenaline.

Large swathes of Zerg flying creatures flitted past the fortification wall, spitting green strong corrosive acid towards the human soldiers below.And with just a little bit of acid, even the armor plates of the power armor will start to melt.Many people were completely melted in the acid sprayed by the flying crabs of the different dragons. They only had time to let out a few screams before twisting and falling down, like paper skin dissolved in strong acid or thin paper curled in flames. Tissue people.

All that was left was a black residue.

Revolutionary anti-aircraft fire took down some zerg flying creatures, but they were still numerous.

Pieces of springtails and Hydra Hydralisks fell in front of the fortification wall until blood covered the ground, and fragments of internal organs and carapaces almost covered the floor.

Then, without warning, the zerg retreated briefly.

But soon, an inhuman roar came from the darkness, it was the mournful cry from the dry vocal cords of human beings.

One after another, the staggering infected, one after another, the alien monsters that were once human began to walk towards the base from all directions. Some of the infected were even wearing damaged power armor, holding Gauss rifles, and shouting Fight for federal or revolutionary ideals.

Now, these humans who have turned their allegiance to the swarm stagger towards their former brethren, claws and teeth, tentacles and saliva in the gaping mouth.

"Hold on, my warriors," Augustus yelled.

"Whether it's the Federation, the Protoss or the Zerg, they can't defeat us!"
