StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 268 Tassadar's Blade
The battle continued until [-]:[-] in the morning, and the fortification walls in all directions of Mar Sara were filled with infected human and Zerg corpses, and blood stained the entire battlefield.

The line of defense was dispersed several times by the swarms and recaptured by Augustus' soldiers. The number of victims has exceeded the sum of the deaths of the Guards Division in previous battles.

The number of infected people has exceeded Augustus' estimates and appears to be greater than the total number of missing and dead in Mar Sara.Revolutionary Army scientists can only speculate that either Mar Sara's Federal Alien Laboratory is experimenting with people from other planets, or that it infects people and even reproduces themselves.

The Yermungandr swarm that the Korhal Revolutionary Army faced was not only the worm nest that mainly executed the attack command, but also one of the most numerous and powerful worm nests among the zerg. · Sala Colony is only a matter of time.

When the last batch of transport ships departed from the airport, countless corpses of infected people were piled up in front of the fortification wall where Augustus was.The corpses piled up into a mountain, fully raising the height of the ground by four or five feet.This allowed infected people to step onto the fortification wall by stepping on piles of corpses even if they did not know how to use a ladder.

This undoubtedly lowered the height of the fortification wall indirectly, so that the alien creatures that came behind like a wave could climb up the high wall by stepping on the former corpse.Infested Tyranids staggered toward the four fortified walls like a sea of ​​sand in a black tide.

At the same time, the launch port on the high platform in the center of the airport is still continuously receiving transport ships, and every half an hour, a large number of transport ships climb rapidly with their red-orange tail flames.

A large number of zerg flying creatures followed these spaceships closely, and they flocked to the transport ships that were constantly climbing while they competed with the brave human fighter pilots in a thrilling high-altitude contest.

From time to time, huge flesh-colored bats named blasters by the xenomorphists of the Revolutionary Army hit the pusher at the tail of the transport ship, blasting the straight-climbing transport ship into a ball of fire.The fragments of the transport ship that disintegrated in the screams fell to the ground like fireworks, and the humans in it either died in an instant before they had time to react, or were burned alive.

And when blasters rush to the ground, they will undoubtedly become a terrible living bomb.

Anyone who has experienced everything will never forget this thrilling night in this lifetime.

"Which batch of evacuees is this?" Augustus was swiping his Gauss rifle with an empty magazine and sweeping at the infected people who stepped on countless corpses and climbed up the wall, until his brains burst.

And Kerrigan next to Augustus was holding a C-10 canister gun in her hand, and shot after shot precisely, two figures were distorted and infected people, and then she turned around with a flick of her fiery red hair. Kill the infected people climbing up from the other fortification wall.

Even Kerrigan was exhausted from fighting all night, a bead of sweat dripping from his brow.Corporal Faraday, wearing a crimson CMC-300 power armor, held a rail gun and fired at a Hydra Hydralisk mixed in the army of infected people. A MK-12 piercing bullet directly shattered the length of the monster. The mandibles are full of spikes and fangs, and the shell casings ejected from each shot will make a dull sound when they hit the ground.

There were corpses all around them, including those of Revolutionary soldiers, as well as large numbers of infected people and Zerg.Those infected people who are far from their original appearance are now just a mass of xenomorph monsters similar to humans, squirming and twisted flesh formed by the fusion of deformed tissue carapace and curly tentacles.

Clothes, hats, power armor, everything they wore as humans had become a conglomeration of veins and tendons that looked like tumors inlaid with bits of metal and cloth.

"The control tower swears that it was the last batch, and people were successfully evacuated." A communications soldier in the command center replied.

"The transport ship that the fleet came to pick us up arrived on the ground in 15 minutes. General Warfield said that they were held back by the Zerg's air force, and there was no way to support our more manpower."

"Listen, boys. Rescue will arrive in 15 minutes. Hold on, we're almost there. Take care of the wounded. If you can't take away the corpses of your comrades, you'd rather burn them than leave them to the bugs." Augustus changed Switch to the command channel with the clip in hand.

"Tough guys of Keha, each of you is a hero."

While Augustus was speaking, a Mutalisk with a bright purple carapace fell from the sky with the scream of bullets.This monster with a wingspan of more than [-] feet (about ten meters) flew across the low air like a snow owl falling to the ground to kill, and landed on the heads of the two Marshal's personal guards beside Augustus.

"Lanzel, shoot at your heads!" Augustus raised the Gauss rifle in his hand and started shooting at the rushing Mutalisk. At this time, his posture of holding the gun was no longer as stable as before. So many bullets went empty.

The two marshal's personal guards immediately raised their guns and shot overhead,

After all, the Allosaurus was only a body of flesh and blood, and soon there were many holes in its opened fleshy wings, as if the membrane had been pierced.But this didn't affect the normal flight of the Allosaurus. It really cast a fast-moving shadow on the ground like a dragon descending from the sky.

A few hours ago, the flying creatures of the Zerg could not unscrupulously invade the sky above the air port and defensive positions under the cover of the revolutionary army's anti-aircraft missiles and machine guns, but now their number has increased, and the human anti-aircraft firepower is still there. constantly weakening.

After descending to a height of forty or fifty feet, the egg-laying organ at the end of the Allosaurus' serpentine tail accurately projected at least a dozen bright green symbionts.

A Revolutionary Army soldier at the bottom was immediately blown into a mass of fragments and armor and bones digested by acid after being hit, and the screams disappeared in an instant.

Then some other symbiote bounced to the feet of another soldier not far away, and the symbiote shrank to a bright green in an extreme time, becoming a short life cycle from birth to decline.

boom--

"Sarah, kill it!" Augustus yelled.

Kerrigan turned when she heard Augustus' shout. The psyker's talent for shooting was almost innate, and she completed the aiming and shooting steps in a few seconds. The 25mm canister bullet hit the body of the Mutalisk with a sharp howl, and the latter immediately screamed and fell, smashing a dent in the protective wall.

But even so, the Allosaurus survived the fall.One of its wings was obviously completely broken, and it hung down feebly. Its body was covered with bullet marks, and blood flowed from the wounds all over its body onto the ground.

Allosaurus roared and struggled like an out-of-control beast on the pitted alloy ground, and opened its bloody maw to the nearest enemy until Augustus accurately threw an electromagnetic grenade into its open genitals. In the organ, the shattered flesh and blood immediately splashed all over the ground.

Before Augustus had time to celebrate, another group of infected people climbed up the fortification wall, and at this moment, there were no more than ten soldiers guarding here.

There are corpses everywhere, and everyone's death is extremely miserable. Some people were corroded by acid into a black residue, some had their hands chopped off by the Hydra Hydralisk, and some were dragged off by infected people. The fortification walls were torn to pieces.

"The reserve battalion immediately reinforces the front line. We need support." Augustus took a deep breath and rushed to the nearest infected person.

It was an infected Omega Squadron marine. On his pitch-black CMC power armor, he could still vaguely see the marks of past honor. The white inverted U-shaped badge and skull logo were now covered by a layer of hyperplastic tissue and pulsating covered with tendons.

The orange matte helmets of Omega Squadron marines are like broken eggs, and there is a dark hole in the mask, and there are many flesh-colored tentacles protruding from the jagged edge of the hole.The built-in computer in the power armor is still working, but there is no sound left in its communication device except for the messy electrical noise.

The Confederate Marine is still holding his Gauss rifle tightly, but he has forgotten how to shoot, not even as good as a chimpanzee who knows how to use a wooden stick.

Before enlisting in the army, all federal recruits must swear that they will never abandon their rifles. The rifle is their best friend and their life.However, the Swarm had now truly bonded him to his rifle forever, and the tentacled and warped weapon had become a part of him—an organ rather than a weapon.

He might have been just a brainwashed and neurectomized labor prisoner, a soulless walking corpse, but being part of the swarm didn't set the soldier free, perhaps death was the eternal release.

The Jormungandr swarm assimilated him. This soldier who used to be able to catch up to the hoverbike while running at full speed in the past was no longer as flexible as before. Chanting words that are repeated over and over again.It's just a phrase that's so common on recruiting posters like Loyalty and the People of the Federation.

And the spikes and long claws emanating from the joint bones of the infected human surface are enough to tear apart a fully armed human soldier. Anyone who despises these pathetic monsters ends up as a piece of meat or one of them.

For humans who have been assimilated by the Zerg, pain and other perceptions no longer exist, and the emotion of fear is just a distant memory. He is just a sentinel who exists to guard the Yemengarde swarm.

Augustus fired a barrage of spiked bullets at the monster in an instant, and the sound of the bullets hitting the armor was endless.

Under the strong firepower of the Gauss rifle, this monster fell down without any honor and dignity. Its dead appearance and posture were quite different from those of a praised federal soldier, and it could only be vaguely identified from its appearance that it was once a human being.

Immediately afterwards, more infected Omega Squadron marines climbed up the city wall, their armor-valved power boots scratching against the alloy floor, making teeth-piercing screeches.

The army of infected people came one after another, clinging to the corpses of their own kind, and each time an infected person fell, more would be added.

"Tychus!" Augustus shouted.

"What an endless alien monster!" At this time, Tychus on the high platform next to him noticed the situation around Augustus, and he immediately held the handle of the heavy machine gun and swept across the marines of the Omega Squadron. until all bullets are emptied.

"Die, die!"

When the sub-machine gunner yelled that there were no more bullets, Tychus simply walked down with a Gauss rifle, shouting obscenities such as bastards, and smashed the last Omega marine standing. The skull was opened.

At this time, the infected people under the fortification wall gradually became rare, replaced by real Zerg.Obviously, the cerebrates of the Jormungandr Swarm have had enough of playing the game of pitting humans against humans, and are tired of playing the new toy of infecting humans.

A more violent attack is about to begin soon.And Augustus knew that his exhausted soldiers had no strength to deal with the next attack.

"I have never fought this kind of battle. I thought we came to Mar Sara to kill bugs, but now it has become a zombie game." Tychus walked to Augustus: "Is there any smoke? , Boss."

"You might as well go and see if there is smoke on those people." Augustus was able to catch his breath while the swarm reorganized their attack.

"Where's Jimmy boy? I haven't heard from him for a long time. It seems like a century ago that he ran to save those protoss heads." Tychus heard what Augustus said. Really turned around in the body of the Omega Marine, but he was looking for bullets instead of cigarettes.

"It made me miss him."

"You care so much about him?" Augustus said.

"A little bit," Tychus said.

"Well." Augustus nodded: "Jimmy arrived there more than an hour ago, but those besieged protoss have absolutely no intention of asking them to save them."

"To be more precise, those protoss warriors are here to help us stop the Zerg...and each of them can defeat a hundred."

"So there is such a good thing." Tychus grinned.

"This group of golden protoss is completely different from the Tadarin protoss. If you hadn't said so, I would never believe that there are people in this world who are willing to lose their lives for other people, let alone they are foreigners. Starman."

"You can't say that, Tychus. There are always good people among humans, and there are good aliens." Augustus said: "We are just unlucky enough and lucky enough. These protoss in the Sara galaxy It just so happens that they are the ones who don't want to harm humans."

"It's obvious, you and Jimmy are typical good guys, and I'm a bad guy, but since those protoss don't need our help, then we didn't make this trip in vain." Tychus spread his hands.

"To be precise, my goal has been achieved. The protoss sensed our kindness, so they are willing to have a brief exchange with Raynor. It can be said that we have established a communication bridge with these protoss in the Sara galaxy. said Augustus.

"I look forward to a direct dialogue with the commander of the Protoss fleet."

"So you don't care about the life and death of those aliens at all. You saved them not for some damn sympathy but for political purposes. I can see from your father that politicians have dirty hearts." Tai Case cursed.

"So, where's Jimmy?" To be honest, Tychus cared more about Raynor than about the aliens.

"Not so long ago he said he was coming, and he had brought reinforcements." Augustus glanced at Tychus, and flashes of light appeared on the far horizon.

Five revolutionary patrol speedboats rushed to the forefront, followed by the shining golden fighter planes and transport boats of the protoss.The Protoss warplanes had elegant fuselages and butterfly-like wings, and hornet-like interceptors buzzed low in the sky, followed by crescent-shaped warships and slender cylindrical spy planes.

The golden fighter jets and warships are like countless gold stars flying from the sky, and the bright light is like scattered gold.

"Reinforcements are here, soldiers. Pack your things and prepare to board the ship. Don't drag anyone down." Augustus said on the communication channel.

There was a sporadic and not very enthusiastic cheer from all around. The soldiers were exhausted and did not trust the protoss who had just bombed Cha Sara.

"Are you sure they didn't come to kill us?" Tychus' voice must have been more startled than surprised.

"That's big enough. These fighters are worth a lot of money. Will they sell us?" Tychus said with a shrug.

"The price is negotiable, we will resell it to the Umoyans—"

　　Modify the bug in the previous chapter.It should be a special case of Meinhoff that the infected organisms burn when they encounter strong ultraviolet rays. Ordinary planetary infected bodies (such as Haven) can also appear normally during the day, and the description has been deleted.
