StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 474 Infection is the finale

"SOS! SOS! Wounded! We're hit!"

"Bugs crawling in, they're in the exhaust pipes, hatches, supply bays, leave them alone, retreat! retreat!"

"Come on, for the earth, for mankind! Ah—"

The communication station of the Revolutionary Army intercepted part of the communication stream of the UED fleet on the full frequency band. These cries and screams from the soldiers on the earth inevitably hurt Renault and others.

Following the super cyclone formed by the wormhole created by the master, the swarm engulfed everything in the sky except them. They were as numerous as the Ganges River, covering the sky and the sun.There is no Milky Way to be seen here, and many long brown-gray rivers gathered by countless zergs hang in the gloomy sky of Char, like a ribbon connecting the horizon, from the end of the North Pole to the other end.

Like a colony of ants jumping on the syrup, thousands of different dragons lay down on the magnificent giant ships with a distance of several thousand feet, tearing and tearing the composite fine steel armor bit by bit.

The cries for help sent out by the earthlings before they died were but the last cry of this magnificent fleet.

In just a few minutes, the last few UED spacecraft that were still narrowly avoiding the attack were shot down and turned into a falling fireball.

A brief rain of debris formed from the wreckage of the fleet fell in the high-altitude orbit, and in an instant there were only flying Mutalisks and other terrifying flying monsters left above people's heads.

"The people on Earth are finished, and Gerald Dugal is also finished. I hope this old guy can repent for what he has done before he dies." Renault tried to contact the battleship, but it didn't help until all the channels were silent.

The mighty UED fleet didn't last long in front of the swarm. They were able to go deep into Char only because the zerg focused their attention on Tassadar's Dharam protoss fleet.

When Renault looked up, Gerard Dugal's flagship Alexander was also gone.If they were lucky enough, these UED battlecruisers would have a chance to launch an emergency undirected coordinate jump to escape here, but they didn't find any traces left by the space jump.

In all fairness, though Dugal was a cunning opponent, he was undoubtedly a respectable human being.Not all human generals have the courage and determination to drive the flagship to Char, the main nest world of the Zerg.

"The soul of the warrior is worthy of praise." Phoenix also said: "They will meet again in the Hall of Valor of the humans on Earth."

Compared to Raynor, as a protoss with extremely keen telepathic ability, Phoenix can even accept the last thoughts of these earthlings after they die.

There is no doubt that the vast majority of ordinary UED soldiers joined the expeditionary force only because of the declaration made by the United Earth Council to defend the earth after discovering the existence of zerg and protoss.So they set off with such a mission-to live in a safe world for their families.

"It's great, it's the bugs that killed them, not us." Renault's heart was complicated, and they were bound to become enemies.

But if the main force of the UED expeditionary force is buried in Char, then the remaining earthlings will be much easier to deal with.

"The master has escaped." Renault's chief of staff, Charles, cared more about the master than the people on Earth.Now he was so shocked that he stared at the sudden wormhole for a few seconds before confirming the fact:

"but why?"

"Yes, this is not right. The number of bugs has an absolute advantage, and it is a home game. It can take some time to completely destroy us." Renault agreed with Charles' view. In fact, the surprise in his heart didn't need the other party at all. less.

"Could it be that it was really frightened by the dark templars of the dark patriarch Azma? I'll bet you everything in my pocket, Charles, it must not be the case."

"But what's left in there, mud or ashes? Or the bottle of No. [-] whiskey that the marshal gave you." Charles snorted.

As we all know, General Jim Raynor is a pauper. He never took advantage of his position to gain any benefits from the Revolutionary Army system, and all his salary was sent to his family. This is very different from Tychus Finley.

Because Renault's parents taught him to be a person of integrity and useful to others.After entering the army, Augustus had a profound influence on Renault.Even though Raynor was close to Tychus, he was not affected by the latter.

Reynolds had a Colt military revolver, an antique from hundreds of years ago, and each bullet was specially made, which was rare and expensive.

So Renault would rather use a modern electromagnetic pistol than use this revolver, but will still carry this revolver without firing a shot to show his old taste.It's a good name to say that it's always useful, but it's just that his head hasn't entered the quasi-center yet.

"Didn't the protoss say that this new master of the swarm was formed by the fusion of cerebrates? Char's cerebrates were killed by the dark templar and dared not show their faces."

Charles continued: "Besides, when the master woke up, there were really a few dark templars sharpening their knives beside him, and I would pee my pants."

"So you are not the master." Renault pouted.

"The shadow guard led by the dark patriarch Azma has hundreds of powerful dark templar masters. They came to Char for only one purpose, and that was to kill a brain worm or master, which is the only one among the guards of the archbishop of Razagal. Request," Phoenix said.

"It doesn't sound easy—I'm talking nonsense." Renault probably understood the pressure and fear that the newborn master felt, but he was a little uncertain, always thinking that a dignified master would not be killed A group of protoss dark templar who go straight to the point scares the shit out of you.

"Where does the wormhole opened by Juggernaut [-] lead? If it's the very center of the Koprulu sector, it would be terrible." He stared at the rotating black hole in the sky.

Zergs are really the most incredible race in this universe. They don't need any technological power to open a space-time channel connecting two points with their organic bodies, and to cross the void with their attempts.

"If there are no clear coordinates, the master can't open the wormhole. Even if there is a slight deviation, the final destination may be thousands of miles away." Phoenix's voice came from the other end of the holographic projector:
"Then this location should be the coordinates that the bug swarm has been to or clearly known."

"Is there any research to prove that a reborn Juggernaut inherits memories from its predecessor?" Raynor asked.

"Our Kale scientists can't figure it out." Phoenix seems to have consulted other protoss in the mind network Kara:
"Studies have shown that the Zerg will program the instinct of combat into the gene, and the reborn brain worm will also acquire the memory before being killed, so as to ensure that every neuron in the brain, their position and the order of transmitting nerve impulses are consistent with the It turned out to be the same.”

Phoenix explained to Raynor: "But this Overlord is not the one that died in Aiur, it's a new—unique individual. We're not sure if it remembers Aiur and the other planets, maybe it's Where the zerg first started. For Char, the zerg are also a recent invader."

"I probably get it. I hope this wormhole can kick this monster to the remotest corners of the universe." Raynor thought he got it: "In short, it's better to throw some 'souvenirs' in it now, so that we can find out what it is Where did you go?"

"Not to mention how to send the tracking and positioning equipment across such a distance, the other end of the wormhole may be tens of thousands of light-years away from Koplu, and the existing technology has not been withdrawn at all." Charles said.

"Don't worry, I ordered some detectors to follow the swarm into the wormhole. At the same time, the dark patriarch Azma and his dark templar have also stepped into it." Phoenix said.

"There is no place where the warriors of the protoss dare not set foot." Charles praised.

"Okay, okay, I can't control that much anymore." Renault noticed the sudden increase of red dots on the radar scanning chart and the life signal detection chart.

As early as when the overlord awakened, the wind of psionic energy it brought greatly limited the effect of the psionic disruptor.The zerg signals around the Revolutionary Army's position also began to multiply, and they were constantly passing through the wormhole under the call of the swarm master without any hesitation or hesitation.

These zerg are only interested in entering the wormhole, and have no time to consider the enemy.Even so, the Revolutionaries, UED landing forces, and Protoss forces in its path bear the brunt.

A large number of tunnel worms broke through the ground, smashing the originally solid position to pieces.The hydralisk warriors of tiamat, unique to the Tiamat swarm, poured in like a tide, mercilessly harvesting the lives of humans and protoss.

The only good news is that only a part of the offense is launched.

"After the overlord entered the wormhole, the influence of its powerful psychic energy on the mind-spirit connection of the swarm main hive is fading. It is expected that the 'Big Bill' psychic disruptor will reactivate after 20 minutes." Charles said to Raynor .

"In any case, we must persist until then."

"Although it's just an afterthought, if it was two days earlier, I would suggest that my past self should not stand in the way of the insect swarm, and make way for them earlier." Renault said:

"Phoenix, I need your support. The less land we have to defend, the stronger our defenses will be. The Revolutionaries and the Protoss must be united."

"It's an honor," Phoenix said. "I'll trample them like a bug."

"Try to contact the people on the ground where the UED still keeps Char and find their highest-ranking commander." Raynor said: "Even if poor old Gerald is still alive, he probably won't be able to command his troops anymore. If Those Earthlings are willing to join us in dealing with the Zerg, and they won't even have a ship out of Char after that."

"I don't like the people on Earth, and I don't trust them—it would be better if they all died here." Charles shook his head: "But anyway, sometimes the living are more useful than the dead. If you don't understand the people on Earth, how can you deal with them?" them."

Then, Renault turned on the channels of all the troops. Under the influence of the loudspeaker equipment, even the nearby UED positions could hear it.

"Brothers, now is not the time to lose."

"Char is very important. Char must be controlled by humans. Keep Char and resist the swarm here, and other worlds like paradise will not be devastated."

"If the Federation can't do it, it's up to us, the Revolutionary Army." Renault said:

"Marshal Augustus Mengsk entrusted us with this mission—his bravest warrior, don't let him down."

"In the dark universe, human beings can survive only by supporting each other. This is our mission: to use blood and sweat to defend the last hope of Tyrannian mankind." He said:
"Even at the cost of life."

"Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!"

"Where are my feet? Where are they?"

"Help me! Help me! Ah-ah-"

The howls that delighted Carlos the brain worm came from humans, a race that interested him immensely.This group is not the only hive that uses viruses and infections as weapons, but they are most interested in infecting humans.

Members of Carlos's group were wandering the corridors and cabins of the UED expeditionary fleet flagship Alexander, searching for survivors on the dark gray carpeted decks.

This super giant ship that once demonstrated the power of the earth has fallen, and is crawling powerlessly in the acid swamp filled with acid liquid to the west of Char's main hive area.Her majestic tall bridge and even the sampan made of steel were torn apart in the process of hitting the ground, and most of the hull was burning.

There are still some survivors on the Alexander, and they may still have hope for "survival".

But yes, the great Kalos Lord of the Swarm will keep them alive, but it may be very different from the human definition of the word.

At this moment, Carlos is in the depths of the worm's nest, controlling its group members to go deep into the interior of the Alexander, hunting for the nutrients of the worm swarm and the experimental products of its infection plan.

If these frail human beings think that death is the end, they are taking things too far from the truth.

Death is not a one-stop relief, Carlos will pull them all up from the grave, and then reshape their bodies and wills with viruses.

Even the dead have to serve the swarm.

The Swarm learns from the enemy, the Swarm will adapt, and the Swarm will evolve.Until then, never stop.

"Turn left at hatch 112, and there is a shuttle equipped with a warp engine. The coordinates of the earth are on the shuttle, and you can leave this purgatory by driving it." A voice attracted a zergling from the Carlos group Attention, and Carlos also split a ray of mental energy to control the squeaky little monster.

"Sir?"

"I'm dying we failed, remember, the Council's biggest loss was losing Gerald Dugal not us. If you feel guilty, take this back to Proxima Centauri, there"

Without mercy, Carlos' zerglings shredded the two Earthlings before turning into another collapsed compartment.

In a flurry of digging, a bloodied figure in a general's uniform was dragged out by Carlos' zerglings.Even though that thin face was already dripping with blood, the staring eyes could still make his former subordinates shudder.

Gerald Dugal.

human hand.

"A human leader with great foresight and strategic vision, your death is the loss of your group, but it benefits the swarm." Carlos said silently to the dead Dugal with the power of his heart:

"The leader of human beings is unique and full of wisdom. He orders the group to obey, just like the brain worm. Your experience, your wisdom, and your strategy will all belong to the swarm."

"You are dead, but I can regenerate your tissue. I infect you and make you part of the swarm."

"And you are just the beginning. Before all humans are infected, I will fulfill my mission." Carlos said quietly.

Amidst the wailing, moaning, crying and roaring of the people on Earth, dark purple creeps and silky hyphae are spreading on the surface and inside of the Alexander, and the crazily growing meridians and twisted hypertrophic bones join the cracked armor of the battleship together.

Where the sensor originally belonged, there were horrifying worm eyes spinning, countless ugly tumors and umbilical hernias dripping with pus.Huge psychic organs grew out of the engine compartment, and the position of the thruster became a jet nozzle larger than that of the Vagray frigate. Layers of exoskeletons reshaped the armor of the Alexander and her former The magnificent island and bridge.

"Gerald Dugal, you will be the leader of my army of infected people, a powerful creature far beyond human clumsy genes."

"Now, you will witness with your own eyes the appearance of the battleship, the Alexander taking off again, and you will become—"

"Hand of the Swarm."
