StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 285 I Am Immortal!
Augustus stepped on the sticky creep on the ground, stepped over the squirming growth tumor, and came between several protoss high-ranking templars in shining golden armor.Insect intestines and pulsating thick veins can be seen everywhere on the ground, and the air is filled with the bad smell of rotten flesh and festering sores.

A huge, fleshy, fat bug is curled up between human electronic components covered with a lot of zerg tissue and vesicles, shaped like a wriggling longhorn larva, rounded like a fleshy arc Tank cannon barrel.

The cerebrate is clumsy and slow, fragile and fragile. It has neither a solid carapace to protect itself, nor sharp claws to shred enemies who dare to approach it. A slow-moving cerebrate must be controlled by its clan members. Protect.

Anyway, in the eyes of Augustus, the current appearance of the cerebrate is like a happy fat house slumped on the sofa watching TV.

At this time, there is no longer even a Hydralisk to protect this cerebrum, and Augustus can use the P-20 electromagnetic pistol on his waist to kill it at any time.

And Augustus noticed that when he was observing the brain worm, it was also examining the protoss and humans that surrounded him.The seemingly fragile worm-like creature appeared calm and composed, as if unaware of its impending fate.

The abscessed and smeared screen was still showing UNN news about Augustus, and a man with a ridiculous beard was talking and laughing with a blond woman with an impressive bust while telling Augustus. Stu made some not-so-funny jokes while satirizing the unreasonable political demands of the revolutionaries.

Cerebral worms can obviously understand the meaning of words and words, otherwise it would not spend time on it. It is very likely that the worms obtained this knowledge from the assimilated human brain.

The protoss have been watching all this, and they exchanged their views on this brain worm—and on the news of Augustus in their Kara telepathic connection network with a psionic energy waveform that humans cannot perceive at all, just like Some kind of special encrypted communication, but for a human like Augustus it was absolutely silent.

And the protoss may not be able to understand why a person who should be called a hero by his people would be so slandered, which is absolutely impossible in the social system of the protoss empire.

About 100 protoss templars were watching, and more pairs of eyes shining with blue psychic flames were staring at the cerebrum.At this time, the fighting outside the caves still hasn't subsided, and tens of thousands of Garm swarms are still pouring out from various caves in an attempt to recapture the leader of their group.

The garm swarm became more violent than ever, and Kerrigan and Harnak were tasked by Augustus with leading the rest of the army to defend against the zerg attack outside the cavern with the protoss.

"A fat bug, it's disgusting." Tychus Finley walked among the tall and slender protoss warriors with a shotgun, and he occasionally touched the armor and elegant robes of the Templars, This rudeness aroused the dissatisfaction of these aliens.

The protoss don't have much sense of humor, but old Tychus has plenty to rant about: "Look at this guy, what could be uglier than that? An underdeveloped, misshapen bug."

The cerebrate didn't respond to Tychus' sarcasm, its soft, ugly skin was emitting a shimmer, and this shimmer was like breathing, sometimes shining and sometimes faintly.

"Augustus Mengsk, where is that human female? I can sense her, where did you hide her?" Following the rhythm of the light on its body surface, the cerebrate moved its fat white body and turned Augustus.

The words of the cerebrate directly appeared in Augustus's mind, just like what Protoss could do.

"Tell me, tell me quickly! My Lord and Father are looking for her."

"I won't hand her over to you." Augustus looked at the fat worm that was exuding a light white shimmer, convinced that it must understand human language: "She is better than thousands of armies."

Augustus knew exactly what kind of monster Kerrigan would transform into once captured by the Swarmmaster.The Queen of Blades in history once slaughtered 80 billion people. She has both the power of Zerg and the experience and wisdom of humans. This terrifying opponent is comparable to thousands of troops.

Even if it doesn't involve Augustus's own emotions, he will never let Kerrigan fall into the hands of the swarm, otherwise humans may just lose a powerful psyker, and the zerg will have an extra one that can sweep science. Lou's Queen of the Swarm.

Just thinking about how many people he wanted to die, Augustus would sincerely feel fear and hatred for the blue face of the Queen of Blades.

"Why don't you do that?" The logic of the brain worm is obviously completely different from Augustus's, and the light it emits shows a strange shape: "We came for her, and we will leave for her."

"Exchange. Yes, an exchange, with items of equal or unequal value, each according to its needs," it said.

"Give her to me and we'll be gone."

Augustus's eyes froze, his cold gray eyes were sharp and compelling: "No, absolutely, there is no room for negotiation."

Even if the overlord gets Kerrigan, it is impossible for the Zerg to spare humans in the future.Zerg has no concept of keeping promises at all, and even humans who follow this way often break their promises and use them as wisdom and strategy.

"Dagos, I knew it was useless." The brain worm seemed to be talking to another or a group of brain worms through the void.

"It looks like it's not afraid of death at all. Hey, fat bug, do you know we're going to kill you?" Tychus couldn't hear what the cerebrate was saying, because the other party directly conveyed what he wanted to express to Augustus in your head, but no one else can hear it.The way of communication between brain worms is similar to that of protoss, they almost never speak.

"Death? Human, ignorant and ignorant, all that's left of your poor brain tissue is a primitive sex drive—a pathetic primitive." The cerebrate heard Tychus's words, and it was obviously still a pretty good one. temperamental individual.

Even it had to admit that it lost the war against the Tassadar Protoss Crusade.The protoss did not destroy the planets infected by the zerg in the past. This time they chose to dispatch ground troops to face the zerg.

"You don't understand the true meaning of evolution. Death doesn't matter, only the essence matters." The voice of the brain worm appeared directly in the minds of all humans and protoss present.

"When I kill you, you will know what is the most important." Tychus said and took a military-style Torrent SR-8 shotgun from a soldier next to him-old and old, but The hundreds of lead bullets it fired were enough to kill this brain worm.

"The value of keeping it is far greater than killing it. After all, this is the first brain worm we found." Augustus stopped Tychus, thinking that the worm was left behind.

Augustus had his own plan. If he could capture and control a cerebrate alive, he would be tantamount to directly controlling a group of people. This kind of thing is not without precedent.

It's just that it's quite difficult to imprison and control an elderly cerebrate, because only those who have followed the master for the longest and most powerful psychic powers can be given their own names.If you want to control a cerebrate, those newly born individuals who don't have a name are the best choices.

"You want to enslave a cerebrate? How dare you?" It's just that, like other psionic creatures, a cerebrate can read minds, and it's clearly furious at Augustus' words.

While the cerebrates cared far less about Augustus than Kerrigan, they were also gathering intelligence on the enemy.

".Slave master Mengsk." The brain worm's vocabulary reserve is quite rich: "It's just a body, I can give it up at any time and be reborn in another world."

This is why this brain worm has the confidence to talk to the enemy here. The master can resurrect all the brain worms it created. It only needs to reshape a body for the dead brain worm, and it can be reborn.

Cerebral worms are not afraid of death at all, since the main master is still alive, they are immortal.

"This is impossible!" A high-ranking templar who had been listening for a long time scolded angrily.

"Why is it impossible?" The cerebrum asked him back: "I'm curious."

"I said, it's better to kill it quickly, the bugs outside are already crazy." Tychus's way of dealing with the enemy has always been simple and rude.

At this moment, a high-ranking templar led a group of templars and walked in. It was Tassadar, the executive officer of the Protoss Expeditionary Army, and all the humans and protoss present spontaneously made way for him.

"Cerebrate Sass." Tassadar came to Augustus and fell from mid-air, standing on the ground covered with creepers, the executive didn't seem to care if it would stain his blue shirt .

"I'm looking for a dialogue with you." He said to the cerebrum.

"Why did the swarm come to devour or kill? There are billions of stars in this universe. Why did you choose this world?"

"." Cerebral worm Sass originally wanted to ask why I had to talk to an enemy like you, but it held back: "We are enemies, and I don't need to explain to the enemy."

"If you want to capture me alive, greedy protoss, then I advise you to rest easy." It said lightly: "Your time is running out, the noble swarm will devour everything."

"How many cerebrates like you are there? Are they all as powerful as you?" Tassadar was far more cunning than Augustus imagined, and he was trying to use this cerebrate's aggressiveness to get more Information.

"Of course, I'm one of the few to get a name." Seth's complacency stopped abruptly: "Enough, protoss, you don't want to get anything from me."

After a moment of silence, Tassadar looked at Augustus, as if he was seeking his opinions and views.

"We have no time to waste." Augustus' communication channel was full of shouts and screams from soldiers, and he had already determined that the idea of ​​capturing Sass, the brain worm, was meaningless.Unless the master is dead, unless the brain worm can no longer be reborn in other places.

"Kill it, my brothers and sisters," Tassadar ordered.

"You don't need to do it." Tychus pulled the trigger of the shotgun before the templars showed their psychic blades and fired a series of bullets at Sass, and the ugly fat worm immediately splashed disgusting juice.

Cerebral Sass screamed and howled sharply, and the pain as a protective mechanism still existed in his genetic sequence.Even at this time, Sass still has the power to leave a scene saying: "I will not die, I will be reborn in the world of ashes and flames. When I return, death and shadow will come as expected."

"The swarm is an immortal creature devouring all things, and the universe is its food."

After Tychus fired a burst of bullets, the glowing fleshy worm died.Then, just as Augustus, Tassadar and the others saw, a light yellow ball of light suddenly rose from the crumpled and shriveled body of the cerebrate, and that light ball seemed to be a monster with tentacles. jellyfish.

Tychus cursed and changed bullets and continued to fire at the ball of light, but the bullet just went straight between the light balls.

Tassadar's bright sky-blue eyes became even more shining, as if flowing with thunder and lightning. He stretched out his two hands and released a powerful pulse of psionic energy formed by dark blue arcs towards the rising sky. The light ball, but still failed to hurt it.

Humans and protoss have exhausted all means, neither live ammunition nor energy weapons can make the light group show signs of weakness.The soaring light cluster passed through the dark dome and rock wall of the cave and soared upwards until it disappeared.

With the death of the worm Sass, the zerg in the underground wormway completely fell into madness, and put all their energy on fighting with their own kind.The pressure on humans and protoss in the underground wormway has also been greatly reduced.

Antiga's Gum Swarm would be in a state of madness for quite some time before Cerebral Sass returned and took over its pack.And the coalition forces of humans and protoss can take advantage of this period of time to wipe out the remaining Zerg and regain lost ground.

"What the hell is that thing?" Tychus murmured inwardly. "Soul? This is so weird."

"A world of ashes and flames." Just when Tychus and the others were still wondering about the light group, Tassadar had already grasped the information revealed in Sass' words before his death.

"A world full of volcanoes, lava, and volcanic ash." Augustus's reaction was as fast as Tassadar's.

"Is that the Zerg's stronghold in this sector?" Tassadar looked at Augustus.

"Obviously, the dead brain worms will be reborn in that world." Augustus said: "The supreme ruler of the swarm must also be there."

"It's likely to be in the Koprulu sector, otherwise Sass will have to spend quite a while to come back."

"The planets that are known, occupied by Zerg invasion or 'colonized' can be counted and confirmed." Tassadar said: "There are very few planets that meet such conditions."

"Char." Augustus knew the script.
