StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 489 Say Goodnight

Tarsonis City, the southwest suburb.

The landing point of the special warfare team of the Revolutionary Army was at a large abandoned mine about forty miles outside Tarsonis City. The poured rainwater turned into a vast lake.

There are still criss-crossing railway tracks and old freight trains on both sides of the lakeshore, which can be traced back to the last century.A few weeks ago, there was still a lot of people here, and the new factory was in the construction stage, and there were workers everywhere.It was sunset at this time, and large clouds gathered in the sky, and the booms of hundreds of cranes interlaced into shadows.

More than 20 ghost agents in blue and white refracting nanofiber tight-fitting combat uniforms are standing in a factory building with a stainless steel frame. This is also a modular building that emphasizes efficiency and practicality, but compared to Port of the Dead The area is much stronger and more durable.

Even after the crystal mines have been exhausted, although they cannot be compared with the almost omnipotent crystal mines, other associated resources still have mining value.

Everyone, including the commander of this ghost force, General Jackson Hole, remained silent for a long time.

They were all members of the Tyrann Federation Ghost Project, and now they are willing to die for the rebels.Augustus Mengsk convinces psykers haunted by painful memories of the past that they are accomplishing a righteous cause. It is faith rather than the compulsion of psionic suppressors that drives them to continue fighting. For this reason, these supernatural Warriors of strength will become more tenacious and unyielding.

Everyone standing here is clear about their mission.

This revolution started with Korhal IV, and in the eyes of many revolutionary soldiers, capturing Tarsonis and completely overthrowing the decadent Tyrannian Federation government meant the final victory of the revolution.

Now, they want to retake Tarsonis, the origin planet of the Tyranid humans and the undisputed throne world, from the UED.

The gear of these ghost agents is different. In addition to the C-10 canister shotgun, they are also equipped with daggers, electromagnetic grenades, and protoss kaidarin crystal charms that can enhance psionic powers.Several of the agents also carried long knives, learned from their Dark Templar instructors, to take down enemies if their actions were caught.

Each ghost agent has different specialties, some are one-in-a-million snipers, some are masters of assassination, and some can summon hot blue flames like a witch.

The commander of the Nova Squadron, General Holle, is also a deadly ghost agent. With the enhancement of the Kaidarin crystal, his psionic level can reach an astonishing nine levels.Holler can change his face at will to transform into another, and at the same time, he can further mix the fake with the real by adding and deleting other people's memories.

"Action," Holler ordered, closing his mask at a certain point.

All the ghost agents have entered the invisible state and disappeared without a trace like a cloud of sand blown by a strong wind.

"For the new empire."

In the coming night, dark shadows passed through a dead land and boarded a train heading for Tarsonis City, which should have been full of crystal mines, high-energy gas and conscripted soldiers.The Federation's transportation network is intricate, and the UED people obviously don't know much about it.

Dr. Narud did not send any manpower from the Special Forces of the Revolutionary Army. As he said, he is just an ordinary scientist and has not cultivated any forces or party members.

The route to Tarsonis City was also provided by the underground members of the Revolutionary Party who were still on this planet. These unsung heroes engaged in secret espionage work have long put life and death aside.

For this day, thousands of revolutionaries and agents have given their lives, and some of them have joined this great cause that will be hidden and forgotten in the time of Augustus' father Angus.

In the past, the lights of Tarsonis at night were enough to light up the sky, and there was a shining city in the sky.The galvanized exterior walls and large glass curtain walls of countless towering skyscrapers reflect white and blue light in the daylight, and are flooded by gorgeous commercial lights at night.

With nearly 200 years of continuous expansion, the city's borderlines have expanded infinitely in all directions, and giant buildings and crazy skyscraper complexes extend in all directions under the fog that envelops the city.Countless people live and work in high-rises higher than the clouds, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Tarsonis is a city in the sky.

This is the capital of the Tyrann Federation, with many tall buildings and merchants.It is said that by sucking the blood of hundreds of mining worlds and colonies, Tarsonis amassed enough wealth to melt the oceans in gold and silver.

Now as the war is approaching, strict military control and curfew policies have turned the glorious Tarsonis into a giant beast crawling in the night.When the soaring lights faded, the sparse stars were actually visible.

The number of stars in the Koprulu star area is far less dense than that in the center of the Milky Way, and starry nights are rare.

In less than an hour, the train had passed the border checkpoint in Tarsonis City, and Stukov obviously didn't have the energy to deploy loyal Earth-born soldiers and high-precision detection equipment at each checkpoint. .

Only a few former federal soldiers and Tarsonis police guarded this checkpoint. Their restless complaints and perfunctory work revealed the current situation of the entire city to a certain extent.

On a dark street, pedestrians running around are quite rare.Since Stukov declared a state of war, the lives of most citizens of Tarsonis City have come to a standstill. People who are already living in poverty can no longer live without work. The bustling streets of the past are full of decay. Depressed scene.

Only the cleaning robot is still working day after day, and the uneasiness and fear of more than a billion people gather together, which is constantly amplified by the roar of mechs and fighter planes.To a psyker of Jackson Hole's psychic level, these voices of fear were clearly audible, lingering like white noise.

After the train passed the station, the Ghosts of the Special Operations Forces boarded two Tarsonis security force patrol flying cars that "just happened" to perform patrol duties in this urban area.

The security force is a police force, formed only to help the order of the huge UED expeditionary force in Tarsonis. These people are also the most hated group of people by their compatriots, and are considered to be lackeys of the earth people.Their duty is mainly to patrol at night to ensure that no one violates the curfew order. In just a few days, more than [-] Tarsonis citizens were arrested and imprisoned.

The driver of the car was an underground member of the Revolutionary Party. His father was a Keha immigrant from Tarsonis, and his mother was Lingshui Zhizhi.He embraced Angus Mengsk's philosophy of liberating his homeland from federal control as early as 2485, and has been involved in underground work as a Tarsonian police officer ever since.

The UED expedition took Tarsonis, and he quickly joined them.

At this time, the members of the public security forces on the flying car didn't even know the ghosts lurking behind their seats, and they couldn't find that the cruel killers were staring at the back of their necks when they were telling pornographic jokes to enliven the atmosphere.

Stukov's headquarters is not located in any important high-level administrative and military command building in the original Tyrannian Federation, but a comprehensive reinforced concrete building located in the southwestern city of Tarsonis, surrounded by large photovoltaic and High energy gas turbine power plant.

Originally, there should have been a ghost academy of the Tyranid Federation nearby, but after the UED expeditionary force took control of Tarsonis, the ghost academy quickly emptied and was banned, which shows the fear and distrust of people on earth towards psykers .

The whereabouts of those psychic agents and students at the school are not known, but if the style of UPL, the predecessor of the UED, is followed, these people will be burned to death in all likelihood.

As the security force's police car flew over the heavily fortified UED headquarters, Holler's men also got out of the car.Without any instructions, they brushed past the sentinels outside the headquarters.

The UED headquarters is shaped like a miniature city, with a large number of parapets, barracks buildings, and anti-aircraft missile towers equipped with sophisticated detection equipment. The security key provided by Dr. Rood helped them successfully fool the security system.

Jackson Hole is very experienced, and he led his ghost agents to successfully sneak into it according to the map of Stukov Command given by Narud.But UED has the most advanced communication jamming technology and detection technology. The deeper it goes, the more dangerous it is. Every step tests the will of the ghost agents.

The ghost combat suit allows the ghost agents to advance far beyond the speed and physical strength of ordinary people. With the assistance of injection drugs such as stimulants, they always maintain a high degree of concentration and calmness.

In front of many UED soldiers, defense drones, and giant Goliath armed robots, they passed through the security area, training area, barracks area, and security control center one after another, and went straight to Stukov's command center without any hindrance.

This can be called the most dangerous mission that Holler has performed since he was trained as a ghost agent. As long as he is exposed, the people who performed the mission will be buried here.But it's also Holler's chance to build something immortal, and only he can do it.

Stukov's command center is a 30-storey building. There is nothing surprising in the city of Tarsonis, which is full of skyscrapers, but the security level here is the highest.

Dr. Emir Naroud, in a blue and black suit, just stepped out of the command center building, as if he was going to a party instead of returning to work in the laboratory.

Dr. Narud looked a little nervous, but didn't arouse the attention of the surrounding UED soldiers.Höller grabbed his silky tie from the shadows as he walked thoughtfully through the alley formed between the two armories and the control tower outside the command center building.

"Ah!" Dr. Narud's eyes widened and he exclaimed, almost causing Hole's heart to jump out.

"Calm down, doctor." Holer dragged the struggling Narud into the shadows under the vent pipe of the armory, revealing his figure.

"Oh, you are finally, finally here." Dr. Narud broke out in a cold sweat, trembling uncontrollably. This appearance was completely different from the cunning and cunning image Holler had imagined before.

Even if he used telepathy to read minds, Dr. Narud's terrified expression was exactly the same as the panic in his heart.

"Come in with me." Narud took out a silk scarf from the pocket of his suit with a trembling but elegant manner and wiped the sweat on his body:

"I have confirmed that Stukov is inside. The command center is full of senior officers, they are not your opponents, brave agents of the Revolutionary Army."

Narud walked back to the gate of the command center building. Although the guarding UED soldiers were puzzled, they did not stop him.Stukov trusted him as a brilliant scientist who perfected hybrid technology.

Hole waved and followed Narud with the ghost agents behind him.Through the elevator, they arrived at Stukov's headquarters without any risk.

"Narud, someone reported to me that you came back just after you left the headquarters." In the brightly lit headquarters, there were only Stukov and a few senior staff officers in front of the tactical table.

"We just met. You told me that you have completed the research and development of a new hybrid variety. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Stukov didn't see Holler and the many ghost agents behind Narud, his unsmiling face was getting wrinkles from being too tired.

Holle didn't make the first move, he wanted to use telepathy to confirm whether it was a clone substitute.Memories can also be replaced, but for someone like Stukov, his personality is also extremely difficult to replicate.

"That's right, General Stukov." Dr. Narud had already calmed down his nervousness: "I'm getting old and becoming more and more forgetful. Today, I forgot a very important thing."

"Speak." Stukov hummed.

In Stukov's eyes, Dr. Narud is a supreme genius, the most outstanding and top-level alien physiology and genetic engineering expert he has ever seen.Looking at this star area, no one can surprise you.

Having seen Narud's experiments and his thought-provoking and advanced theories, no one can ignore the achievements of this elderly scientist in the field of biology.

Despite having the most powerful brain in the entire Koprulu Sector and even human beings, Dr. Narud is still a weak old man who devotes himself to research and never makes friends.Therefore, Stukov felt that he had nothing to guard against him.

"Because I think it is necessary for me to remind you, Lieutenant General Stukov, that even though your command center is located in the center of the Atlas Wing's garrison, the security work is still not satisfactory." Dr. Narud put his handkerchief on the Putting it back into his pocket, he said awkwardly:
"I forgot one thing - I didn't have time to say good night to you," said he:
"Do it, gentlemen."
