StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 333 Diazine and Chimera Pirates
"There is nothing more disgusting than seeing Kel-Morians on the territory of the Commonwealth. The people of the Commonwealth are nothing more than rats in the gutter. The Guild War has proved this."

"I'll give you the same words, Tyrannian bastard, you are nothing in my eyes. Do you think the Federation dare not fight another battle? Sooner or later we will regain everything we lost!"

While Horace was fighting, the Kel-Morian overseer who had just narrowly escaped death still had the strength to fight back tit-for-tat, and his voice sounded full of anger.

"No matter who Altera should belong to, most of those factories and oil refineries have been destroyed or infected by zerg." Augustus stopped the Kel Morian and Hera with just one sentence. quarrel.

"The Zerg attack is as fast as the Infestation, and they are more terrifying than any enemy we have seen in the past. Humanity must be united and united to defeat the mighty enemy in the universe."

"Our hatred for each other is nothing compared to the threat of alien races."

Horace and the Kel-Morian overseer could only shrug, but they still couldn't help cursing at each other.The conflict between the Tyranid Federation and the Kelmorian Consortium began as early as the two forces’ large-scale expansion in the Koprulu sector. The control areas overlapped each other. The guild war only really transformed this contradiction into an unforgettable hatred. .

"The most dangerous enemy always comes from within." Kerrigan pointed out this point sharply at this time.

"Like those in Tarsonis," Augustus added Kerrigan.

Tychus Finley, who was driving a tall and heavy mecha, led the soldiers of the 2nd company behind him through the fortifications to the front of Augustus. The electroplated titanium alloy steel plate in front of the cockpit of his mecha It has been stained red with the blood of the Zerg, and the Mengsk Golden Wolf logo on it is even more fierce.

"I'm going to take a break, Augustus. I think this guy may need some maintenance." Tychus opened the hatch of the cockpit, lowered the ladder and climbed down from above.

Behind Tychus, two columns of soldiers from the 2nd Company, who had just been withdrawn from the front line, were retreating to the assembly point. Their power armor was stained with zerg and human blood, and they were really fighting bloody battles.

These soldiers were praised by those they saved, and some even called them angels.The Kemerians worship their ancestors, so this is also considered a blessing from the ancestors.

He pointed to the 40mm hard alloy steel inner-arc rectangular shield full of scratches and bite marks on the right shoulder of the golden-red mecha, and said: "God knows what the spines of the Hydralisk are made of, this poor little shield is almost It was punctured and the chassis frame was damaged - it was crawling with springtails and blade worms."

This kind of hard shield is also a new design of the Revolutionary Army Science and Technology Laboratory, which can protect the relatively fragile joints and cockpit of the human mecha.This design is not the first of the Revolutionary Army, the Kel-Morians will also install a fixed shield on the side of their Goliath armed robot to resist the fragments of explosive shells.

A similar inspiration may have come from the armed security forces of the Morian Mining Guild, armed with sonic and electroshock weapons, would always hide behind a forest of explosion-proof shields and shoot down the strike demonstration crowd.

Now the Military Research Center of the Revolutionary Army is also trying to use this shield lightweight on CMC power armor. After the emergence of Zerg and Protoss, humans must advance the research of military technology in order to cope with the increasingly severe battlefield conditions.

"Engineers always complain that you're a destructive freak—to yourself and others," Augustus said to Tychus.

"Yes, we always break things, and they are responsible for repairing them until they are broken again." Tychus seemed to be in a good mood, and the excitement of facing a whole swarm of Jormungandr just now was just right. Get her adrenaline pumping.

"It must not be a problem to fix it, but we still have a tough battle to fight before that." Augustus looked over the mecha driven by Tychus to the distant battlefield.

Affected by the psionic disruptors, hordes of the Jormungandr are killing each other, multiplying in ferocity.According to past experience, most of the zerg that lost the control of the brain worm will die from attacking each other frantically, but the other part will also try to escape the range of the psionic disruptor and become the zerg in a "wild" state until they are attacked again. Controlled by brain worms.

In the distance, huge mad ultralisks were crushing back and forth among their own pack members, crushing zerglings, hydralisks, and scorpions into a pulp.The different dragons in the sky were fighting each other, and sometimes some affected king worms fell from the sky like deflated balloons and fell to pieces.

The uncontrolled zerg rushed towards the oasis town, but these sporadic and insufficiently dense impacts were quickly wiped out by the defensive firepower in the oasis town.

"Don't take it lightly, hold the line until I give the next order." Augustus ordered in the command channel of the 011th Battalion: "The zerg may come back at any time."

Then, Augustus asked Kerrigan to turn on a three-dimensional map holographic projection device she was carrying, and called the Kel-Morian overseer who had just quarreled with Horace.

"How many refineries are around here?"

The last time Augustus saw the Camerians was in Moria, he also had to admit that the Camerians, who are proud of their family blood, are actually much easier to deal with than the Tyrons and the Umoyans , most of the time, they are honest businessmen, you get what you pay for.

"I don't know the exact number, but it may be more than five hundred." Overseer Camerian said after thinking for a while.

"Mark it on it." Augustus said, looking at the other party.

The factories secretly built by the Kelmerians in Altera obviously couldn't be marked on the map of the Federation. These factories are also quite hidden and cannot be discovered by satellite and aerial reconnaissance. Some factories are even built underground.

The Kel-Morian Overseer immediately did as Augustus said, knowing that it would save his people.

"I never knew there were so many, oh you thieves." Horace didn't care about the property of the Tyrann Federation, but in the eyes of someone like him who had already integrated into the local life, Kel Morian was Steal what is yours.

"Kemerian's high-energy gas distillation technology and factory automation production technology are quite perfect. Don't you think that we will not calculate the labor cost before investing in these facilities? Compared with Altera's rich high-energy gas and terrazine resources, the maintenance The cost of the automation equipment is simply not worth mentioning."

"Diazine?"

Tychus had gotten an Antigian cigarette from Faraday by the time Augustus spoke: "Those purple gasses from Baishir that make the Tal'darine protoss addicted like drugs?"

"I later learned that the backside of the planet in the D-4358 colony is filled with this 'toxic' gas, and the people there are said to have devil-like purple pupils. This thing can improve people's sensory abilities in all aspects, including There is pleasure in pain. This is far more exciting than anything I've seen," Tychus said.

"Diazine is a rare resource, but it is also very dangerous." Augustus thought of the Tadarin protoss in the Revolutionary Army Alien Laboratory who often used crude prosthetics to walk around in front of the researchers. .

Now this Tadarin protoss has been able to use human language proficiently to get along in the research station like a duck to water. The most common sentence he said is: Do you want a breath of the creator?

Because the Tadarin Protoss always kept more than the allowed amount of terrazine in private, Dr. Francos and the young apprentice Stetman in the research station always had to go through surprise inspections to confiscate it.

"Terazine is an associated resource of high-energy gas, but it is extremely rare, and it can only appear on planets at present." Supervisor Kemerian continued: "Terazine is extremely rare, and it is highly addictive. High prices for popular drugs."

"Dirazines are able to enhance human perception so much that they are used as a catalyst for the indulgence of nobles. Those who ingest them will have all kinds of hallucinations, so that they will think that they have some kind of superpower, can hear to the hearts of others," he said.

"how can that be."

"Invariably, people who ingested terrazine either became mad or died violently."

"However, terrazine may actually enhance the telepathic ability of the ingested person." Kerrigan said at this time: "Dr. Francois has tested it on cats and a PSI3.5. It was found that after inhaling a large amount of terrazine, he really mastered the telepathic ability and certain spiritual power that only level 5 psykers would have."

"But the side effects were equally uncontrollable, causing horrible hallucinations and violent tendencies. In the end the doctor had to abandon the study."

"So, you secretly collected Altera's terrazine resources and sold them at a high price?" Augustus looked at the Kymerian supervisor.

"This is not our main job. The goal of the guild is still Altera's rich high-energy gas resources. Under normal circumstances, we would rather wait for diazine to slowly volatilize into ordinary high-energy gas."

"The terazines also have a certain attraction to the zerg, which may be one of the reasons why the Jormungandr swarm attacked Altera," Kerrigan said.

"If you want to talk about terrazine, there are definitely more Baisher than Altera. Why didn't I think that it was worth a lot of money before." Tychus rubbed his chin and said.

"Who are you going to sell the terrazine to, the junkies in the Commonwealth or the Tadarin?" Augustus looked at the marks made by the Kel-Morian overseer on the holographic map, and calculated the distance.

"Even if we are short of money, we will not go to drug trafficking. As for the Tadarin protoss, they will only use force to snatch the terrazine." The 7th Division sent several exploration and rescue teams to these Kel-Morian mining sites in search of possible survivors.

"I mean, if it's possible. I mean, if it's really tight." Tychus's pockets were always empty, because when he had money he would spend it all.

"There is no such possibility, unless you are no longer a revolutionary army." Augustus interrupted Tychus, strangling Tychus's last hope with cold words.

After getting confirmation from the commander of the 7th Division, Augustus summoned his guards and returned to the center of the town along the way he came to find the mayor of Oasis Town.

When the Jormungandr swarms outside were almost killing each other, Augustus would order the troops to clean up the mess.

To deal with Zerg, it is not enough to kill them, the Hive and Hatchery must be completely destroyed, and the infection must be removed with fire.In this regard, Protoss is much more familiar than humans.

With the help of Tassadar and Zeratul's fleet, Augustus only needs to send troops to protect the human settlements, instead of confronting the massive Jormungardian swarms head-on.Of course, even if Augustus fought against hundreds of millions of Yermungard insects, he would definitely be defeated.

As one of the most important ground attacking insect nests in the swarm, it is only a matter of time before the Yemengard swarm submerges hundreds of thousands of revolutionary soldiers, just like the tide spreading on the beach, it will not stir up the slightest wave spray.

Tassadar, who upholds Dawu's teachings, still regards the protoss as the protector of human beings, and regards it as his duty to destroy the Zerg, which is also the creation of Xel'Naga.

Augustus had just learned that one of his captains had found the mayor of Altera. At that time, the opponent's shuttle was attacked by a dragon while trying to fly out of Altera into space. Forced landing near the advance route of the army company.

Altera is a planet more barren than Haji, with a sparse population.There have been several federal colonial governors on this planet, but they all died in assassinations and local armed conflicts.The federal military base here is also in a semi-abandoned state, and soldiers with some background try their best to avoid being transferred to this dangerous place of right and wrong.

On Altera, a planet full of criminals and spies, the order and laws of the Federation no longer exist, and the people living here have their own set of living standards.

Although the election process was full of money and power transactions, threats, murders and even naked vote-buying, the mayor of Oasis Town was elected by the residents of the town after all, which at least showed that he was at least somewhat capable.

Ten minutes later, Augustus met the mayor of Oasis Town in a two-story combined modular building in Oasis Town.

To Augustus' surprise, the mayor was quite young, in his early thirties.

When he saw the mayor of Oasis Town, he showed great joy, claiming that Augustus was the savior of Altera, the hero of the Tyranids, and even knelt down and kissed the ground under Augustus' feet, saying that he would never die. Will become the king of Kopruu.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the other party wanted to abandon his townspeople and flee at all costs, Augustus almost really believed that he was a person who loved Altera and the people of Oasis Town.

The mayor of Oasis Town is full of nonsense. He claimed that he was a supporter of Augustus' father, Angus Mengsk, a long time ago, and he actually said Angus' political demands and the revolutionary army's program verbatim .

If Kerrigan hadn't exposed him, it would have been impossible for Augustus to know that the mayor of Oasis Town was a captain of the Chimera pirates, and he was actually a high-level psyker.

After being convinced that he was an old friend of the Chimera Pirates, Augustus had him locked up without hesitation, and asked Kerrigan to find out the despicable purpose of the Chimera Pirates' technology dealers in Altera.
