StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 604
Albion, Port Adams.

At dawn, when the sky was just dawning, the towering launch towers and staggered wharf buildings in Adams Harbor were reflected in the sparkling waves by the sea.The whitish sky is pure and transparent, as if you can touch the gem-like shining stars with your hands.The cyan sea water washes over the white fine sand on the shore over and over again, and the sea surface is gradually dyed a touch of fiery red under the rising sun.

Before the sun rose, Adams Harbor was already brightly lit, and the sky was shining brightly.In the breeze under the morning sun, a black special operations transport ship landed steadily in the port, and the strong wind from the thrusters made the ground crew's trousers crackle.

This peculiar transport ship is painted with the skull helmet logo, which means that its own safety level is extremely high.This is also the case, the number of Viking fighters escorting this transport ship is much more than those old Wraith fighters in Port Adams.

The Adams star port is just an imperial naval port located on the border of the Tyrannian Empire. It was originally built to provide supplies for the imperial fleet cruising on the border.And since it was built, the soldiers in the military port have never seen such a big battle.

Albion, this rocky planet covered with beautiful prairie, has always been in a quiet corner in the past, far away from the prosperity of the core world, and far away from the flames of conflict and war.

In the old federal era, immigrants arrived in Albion and grazed sheep on the vast grasslands.Albion's immigrants lived a relatively affluent life through the wool trade and the high-quality output of the quarry. It was not until the outbreak of the second all-out war that they formally applied to be incorporated into the Tyrannian Empire.

Fortunately, although the swarm has approached Albion many times, they have not visited this distant world where most of the land is still primitive and wild.

God knows what a big deal has happened to Adams Naval Port this time.

"This ship is flying over from the battlefield of Phaeton. I dare say, it must have something to do with bugs." Captain Maren Ayers tightened her spotless collar and kept her eyes on Staring at the special operations transport ship that had just stopped.

Phaeton was the center of the most recent great war, and with the increasing number of occurrences of the name among the Imperial military and in reports, people almost always think of the Phaeton when they think of the zerg.

However, the Battle of Phaethon is over, and there is not even a zerg in sight now.

The Imperial soldiers far away in Albion also got the news of the Empire's victory in Phaethon. Humans once again defeated and expelled the Zerg Swarm from the Koprulu sector.The victory of Phaeton means that the Second Total War has come to an end, but no one knows whether this is just a short-term truce.

In the political propaganda of the empire, the imperial army undoubtedly won the victory of the Battle of Phaeton by virtue of its tenacious will and unyielding spirit.While the soldiers and civilians of the empire were rejoicing, they had no time to think about what the "secret weapon" used by the empire was in the report.

"If I were you, I wouldn't ask too many questions." Lieutenant Colonel Travis Orran was in charge of everything at Adams Naval Port, but as far as he knew, there were no more Imperial Admiralty generals who had questioned the transport ship. four.

Trivas is a standard imperial soldier, tall and handsome, with excellent ability and excellent military accomplishment.Beside him stood a row of Imperial Navy soldiers in power armor. Every piece of power armor had been meticulously maintained, shining brightly in the sun.

"We never ask about things beyond our authority and responsibility." When the gangway of the special operations transport ship opened, Maren immediately stood up straight.The person on board the Baobuqi transport ship was a general, but such a person would never come to a rural place like Albion.

Not bad for them if it's a general.The most troublesome ones are those marines who stopped in Adams Port for a while. The soldiers who may have just been withdrawn from the front line mostly despise the navy who hides in the rear and doesn't have to go to the battlefield at all.

Since Emperor Augustus Mengsk announced the conscription, the army, which was originally composed mostly of revolutionaries, has suddenly poured in a mixed source of soldiers.The most annoying thing about these soldiers is that they always pick up the local girls, but the next call these guys have to go many light years away.

That's why the Navy always thinks the Marines have no brains.

When the first to walk out of the gangway were two Royal Guard soldiers in gorgeous power armor, Marlon's eyes suddenly widened. Their carefully forged armor pieces inlaid with gold trim seemed to have been polished and waxed, so gorgeous outrageous.

But don't think that the Royal Guard's body is just a show. Once this group of veterans who have followed the emperor from birth to death since the revolution put on these expensive armors, they will immediately become Tyranid supermen.

Marlon followed her officer, Trivas, and followed the royal guards who came down, knowing that today's incident was absolutely extraordinary.If the Royal Guard came to Albion, could the Emperor be far behind?
The royal guards coming up from the dropship silently took control of the place from Lieutenant Colonel Trevath Oran, but he never complained.

"I am the Captain of the Royal Guard, Corporal Faraday." An officer in Royal Guard armor walked towards Maron and Trevasse, followed by two marauders in gold and red armor.These marauders, known as rampart guards, are like giants clad in steel, and the pair of orange eyes under the helmet seem to be condescendingly staring at everyone.

"Corporal Faraday." Lieutenant Colonel Trevas couldn't believe that a guard captain trusted by the emperor was just a corporal.When Emperor Augustus was not in Keha, Faraday could even take over the command of Keha's defense forces on behalf of the emperor, and he was supposed to be a general.

"You can also call me Corporal General Faraday." Faraday is obviously not the first time he has been asked this question, which is as troublesome as explaining that the hero of the Empire, Tychus Finley, is just a mere soldier.

"I see." Trevasse thought he understood.

"Where is Adams' scientific research station?" The other party didn't have much time to chat, and he had an urgent task on his shoulders.

Although Albion is only a fringe world far away from Korhal, it has the best alien research station in the star field.And because the Zerg Swarm tends to give priority to retaliating against those human worlds that dare to dissect and study the Zerg, Albion's laboratory has always had the highest level of secrecy.

The Adams Research Station has a complete large-scale anti-psychic laboratory, which can isolate the telepathy between individual zerg and the swarm.

"It's only about 10 minutes away, and I have the armored vehicle ready." Trevas pointed to the colonial armored transport vehicle parked next to Faraday.

"This is already the largest transport vehicle I can find in the shortest time, and I hope it will be enough." Trevas knew that the superior was going to transport a special cargo to the Adams Research Station.

He was in charge of such things, and knew that the cargo was probably zerg or some other alien creature, like a Baishere whale or a Slane elemental.But there has never been a consignment that required the Royal Guard to be dispatched before.

What would happen next, Trevasse could hardly imagine.

While speaking, four royal guards were carrying a sarcophagus that seemed to be made of black iron from the transport ship.Behind the sarcophagus are several graceful female royal ghost agents wearing golden masks.

"The Sarnaga sarcophagus, whose material can block telepathy and telepathy. This was found in Al's underground ruins, and it's just big enough to hold a Protoss." Faraday said to Lieutenant Colonel Trevas:
"Tell your men to be careful and not try to get close to it."

Every time Emperor Augustus went to a place, he would always take some local specialties. Although his little hands were somewhat dirty, the things he brought along were useful.

"I understand." Trevasse was pounding in his heart, saying don't explain to me, the more you know, the sooner you will die.

The word Naganaga has always been closely linked with extraterrestrial mysticism. It is said that this ancient race existed before the stars were born. They are the creators, and the origin of everything is also the end of everything.In short, this kind of talkative rhetoric is inseparable from the mysterious phenomena in the universe.

Most of the scientists who study the Nagar Naga have become lunatics, and the technology that existed in ancient times is still unreasonable and incomprehensible even from the perspective of human beings today.

Trevasse knew two fellow sailors who had been in contact with the Protoss relic, and they all claimed that they heard strange noises and strange whispers when they were close to the relic.After that, one guy who was originally a non-believer converted to Christ, and another guy who was originally a believer became a heretic.

"Sarnaga?" Captain Maren next to him opened his eyes wide again, and his beautiful eyes were full of curiosity.She didn't know that her boss was about to slap her twice.

"Don't ask too much, it's not your ability." Trevas couldn't help scolding Maren. There are many female students in the navy. They may be first-class pilots and navigators, but they are still too young.

"Ah." At this moment, the Sarnaga sarcophagus shook suddenly, as if the mummy bound inside was howling, crying, and screaming.

The sound of wailing directly sounded from the hearts of everyone present, and a terrible palpitation immediately seized everyone's hearts, and all kinds of pain and sorrow immediately rushed to their hearts.

When expressing, the language is still clumsy, and only more direct emotions can shock people.

Fortunately, Port Adams is almost separated from the main settlement of the Albion by a continent. Otherwise, if there happened to be a herdsman driving a hoverbike to drive his flock nearby, he would definitely find that the docile herbivores he raised had been killed by such a person at this time. The sound spirit can be frightened and paralyzed by screaming.

"What is that?" Maren almost fell to the ground under the direct impact of such strong emotions, and the reaction of the people present would not be much better than her.Fortunately, the internal circulation system of the power armor is already very advanced. The magic of modern technology is that even if you pee your pants, no one will find out.

"That's it." The little girl said surprisingly:

"That sounds like a goose hooting."

Lieutenant Colonel Trevas next to him was also pale. According to the Lieutenant Colonel's past style, if the Royal Guards were not present, he would have rushed over with the electromagnetic gun to physically exorcise the demon.

But before Faraday of the Royal Guards could say anything, in the eyes of Captain Maron, a white-haired old man rushed out of the special operations transport ship, and in a hurry when he got off the gangway, he threw himself With one kick, he fell hard to the ground.

Although the old man's limbs were uncoordinated, his body was strong. After a hard fall, he immediately got up, threw himself in front of the Sarnaga sarcophagus, and checked the condition of the sarcophagus with his walking stick.

"That's Dr. Narud." Faraday didn't explain the source of the strange sound, but instead seemed to explain who the old man who made an embarrassment just now was: "The chief scientist of Emperor Augustus, the greatest zerg physiologist ever , Xel'Naga Scholar."

"What's locked in there?" Maren asked.

"A hopeless, pathetic soul," Faraday said.

"Send it away quickly," Lieutenant Colonel Trevasse said, don't scare me.

"Doctor, you assured me that this sarcophagus is safe." The next moment, a tall man in a gray-black military coat appeared on the gangway of the transport ship.He wore only a long-brimmed cap with the Imperial emblem on it instead of a crown, but everyone knew their lord.

"If Sass succeeds in signaling for help, the Overlord can find Albion, and I will never allow that to happen."

"Don't worry, this is just an accidental episode." Dr. Narud also breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "Sass is an ancient brain worm, far more powerful than Alpha Ancient. Although he endured Nova Impact hit hard, and Sass regained its terrifying power faster than we could have imagined."

"We wouldn't have to look for the nearest alien lab if it weren't for the fact that it had become unruly."

"It must be like that." The emperor's tone was beyond doubt.

"What you say is the law of the empire," Narud said.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, everyone was bowing to Emperor Augustus.

"You all have worked hard, don't be bound by etiquette." Augustus waved his hand and said.

"You are Marlon, the daughter of Dr. Ayers." The emperor saw Marlon at a glance: "I didn't expect you to be here. The last time I saw you was in Augustgrad."

Maren's father is the famous geneticist Dr. Taron Ayers, who is currently working on the Zerg gene samples at the Royal Academy of Sciences.The relationship between father and daughter was not very good, but no one expected that Dr. Ayers' daughter would join the Imperial Marine Corps before finishing her college studies.

Dr. Tarun is a close friend of the emperor and has contacts with the royal family.

"It is a great honor, Your Majesty." Maren said respectfully.

"Since you are Ayers' daughter. Then I want to test you. What do you think is that in the sarcophagus?" Augustus became interested.

"I guess, it's a cerebrate." Marlon didn't know that Sass was a cerebrate, but she obviously knew what a cerebrate was: "Among the Zerg, only a cerebrum possesses powerful spiritual power. .”

Maren had seen out-of-control human telepaths emit something like a psychic scream.Compared with cerebrates, it is different. Although human psykers are much weaker, they can cause terrible harm to their own kind.

But in essence, this is a form of mental attack.

There is no doubt that she has also been exposed to information related to brain worms.After all, there was a cerebrate living in Augustgrad's palace.

"You are very smart, little girl." Emperor Augustus showed an appreciative smile, which was very friendly.In anyone's eyes, it seems that the emperor is only smiling at himself in the crowd: "That is indeed a brain worm."

"Cerebrate Sass, an immortal lord of the swarm."
