StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 363 Heading to Al

"Cerebrate α, an advanced psionic creature, the mastermind of the swarm, the final choice of the swarm's millions of years of evolutionary history."

After the straight ladder down to the laboratory on the ground floor came to a stop, Dr. Franks and his student Egon Stetman led Augustus to the demonstration platform in the center, surrounded by soldiers and researchers with respect. Their marshal made way.

In this modern laboratory, there are workbenches, high-precision research facilities and glass test tubes. Researchers in white robes wear gloves, and soldiers are always on guard.

The temperature and humidity in the laboratory are controlled within strict standard ranges, the air is fresh, and under the blue and white light, the running machines make a slight humming sound.

Some workbenches are preparing certain medicines, while others are assembling sophisticated electronic equipment. There are more than a dozen different screens on the walls of the lower laboratory to monitor the latest progress of each group.There are two crossed flags of the Revolutionary Army inside the laboratory, and each flag is always clean and tidy, flat and flawless.

"It is very difficult to capture a cerebrate, and it requires a great sacrifice. In my whole life, I may never have the chance to see a second cerebrate captured by humans." Francois walked Say.

"It's priceless."

"A brain worm is a swarm." Reynolds said, "A worker bee can create an army of swarms. Fortunately, it did not fall into the hands of those who are vicious."

"Like the Federation."

Augustus listened to Francos's words, nodded to the people present, and walked to where Kerrigan and Zeratul were standing.

Kerrigan was staring at the cerebrate bound by a hemispherical energy shield in the center of the lab, and the cerebrate inside the shield was watching her with its multiple pairs of worm eyes.

It was a strange picture, a huge, fat, gray worm was staring at a beauty with long fiery red hair.Kerrigan's green eyes were bright and eager, and the cerebrate's many small eyes were fierce.

"You despicable two-legged worker bee!" Augustus could clearly hear the psychic scream of the brain worm when he was in the upper laboratory.

This cerebrate has fallen into a desperate situation, the environment and light here are far from the warm, moist and soft nest it was once familiar with.It was bound in a small cage for human study, with no dignity as the master of the swarm.

It is also very far away from Char, the Hyperion has already sailed out of Char and flew to Al, and the cerebrates can no longer sense the thoughts of its group and other cerebrates.Even a few hydralisks can easily kill a cerebrate without the help of a pack member.

All the cerebrate can do is attack its enemies with verbal weapons.It has tried to curry favor with these human beings, or deceive them into letting them release themselves, but the results have proved that any conspiracies and schemes are indiscriminate in front of human beings.

"You'll just hide behind this shiny carapace like a rock dragon of Char." It yelled, "Get me out of here!"

"Do you think this metal main nest can hold a great brain worm? Ah——"

"Then try to see if you can come out of it." Kerrigan folded her arms across her chest.

"Please, don't eat us all when you come out."

"Ah——" the cerebrate uttered a chilling, hairy scream, even under the barrier of the energy shield, which made everyone around feel dizzy and nauseated.

The cerebrate tried to clumsily use the small severed limbs in its abdomen to support its upper body, so as to hit the energy shield with its head, but it obviously failed after a futile struggle.

So, it just turned over.

The cerebrate straightened its posture, pretending that nothing had happened, and emphatically said in embarrassment:
"You wait!"

"It's so cute." Augustus laughed, and the surrounding researchers and followers also laughed.

"You guys actually treat a brain worm as a joke." A brain worm is a creature with extremely powerful psychic powers, and it can also hear the voices of others like a high-level human psyker, let alone laugh at such a simple understand the meaning.

These weak humans, the Zerglings of the clan can kill several of them, disembowel them, and let the blood flow here.Now, they thought it was funny and let it go, and even laughed out loud with their croaking vocal organs.

"I won't let you go! No!"

"This guy seems to be in good spirits, and I've been worried about it dying." Augustus said with a shrug.

"The brain worm lacks the ability to defend itself. In the cage under surveillance at this moment, it can't even commit suicide." Hearing Augustus's voice, Kerrigan looked away and walked to Augustus. Gustus's side, holding Augustus' left hand with her two palms.

"After all, it's still too young a brain worm." Dr. Francois also smiled, and his eyes lit up when he looked at the brain worm.

"The baby is only a few months old." Kerrigan hummed.

"Salute to Adun, Elder, you have brought a generous gift." Augustus looked at Zeratul who was standing not far away at this moment, and said in his heart that he could not ignore this distinguished guest.

Zeratul sometimes visits the Huberian. This is as common as visiting a neighbor. He even knows more about the ship than some of the Hyperion engineers who have just arrived. road.

"Salute to Adun." Zeratul's voice was as deep and vicissitudes as ever: "It was Vorazun, the shadow master who led the Shadow Guard, who brought back this cerebrate, and she thought of our human friends for the first time. "

"The eldest sister of the Dark Templars, she is talking about Vorazun with a cold face and a warm heart." Raynor, who was talking to Dr. Frankos, looked at Zeratul and said, "Why didn't you see her?"

"Volazun has returned to Sacoolas, the homeland of the Dark Templar, with the Kalis Crystal, the sacred relic of my race. This treasure was lost by Nerazim long ago." Zeratul replied Said: "It is said that this crystal was once a sacred object given to the protoss by the Sarnaga, a visitor from afar."

"It's something from the Naganagas again." Renault expressed his true feelings: "Ancient, mysterious and powerful, their history can be traced back to the beginning of chaos, when the universe was born, but in the end, the Naganagas went to where?"

"No one knows." Zeratul replied briefly: "The Naganaga are long gone, leaving only the ruins of the once glorious city. But the dark templars always believe that the Nagar are still watching us, those who came from The enlightenment of the void is the testimony."

"Maybe the Xel'Naga are just sleeping. They took a nap, and countless civilizations rose and fell." Augustus expressed his opinion.

"Nael'Naga, the swarm destroyed their entire fleet in a devastating manner." The cerebrum, who was still talking trash, heard this and immediately said through sharp spiritual language.

"How is that possible?" Zeratul immediately retorted: "Zerg, you actually attacked your own creator."

"That's right, that's the picture engraved in my memory when the Master created me." The cerebrate said proudly, "That's it, how dare you ignore a cerebrate?"

"We didn't ignore you." Augustus spread his hands and said.

"You have." As a newborn cerebrate, Alpha is far less experienced than those older cerebrates like Sass and Dagos.

"What happened then?" Zeratul didn't seem to suspect that the cerebrate was lying.There have never been as many lies in Protoss and Zerg as in humans.

"We, the swarm, destroyed all the Xel'Naga fleets in the orbit of Zerus." The cerebrum said, "Then I tore them apart and ate them. , and the swarm became stronger until we crossed the galaxy."

"Your god was eaten by us."

"Ridiculous!" Zeratul couldn't accept this fact at all, and he refused to believe that all the Naganagas were gone.

"The Naganaga, they must still be there, they are immortal." He asked the cerebrum, "Are all the Nagas dead?"

"I don't know. After all, I'm just a newly born brain worm." The brain worm thought for a while: "Besides, I don't need to answer your question."

"It's just that I don't know at all." Augustus shook his head.

"They should all be dead." The cerebrate said emphatically, "I'm sure."

"Extremely sad." Zeratul sighed directly to everyone's heart: "If this is true, then this will be a heavy blow to my people."

"If the Zerg can completely destroy the Xel'Naga's fleet, how terrible the enemies the Protoss faces will be."

"That way, I have reason to believe that the xel'naga created the zerg after they left Aiur, and were then devoured by the species they created, which is why they never came back."

"On the bright side, maybe they just don't want to go back to Aiur." Augustus comforted Zeratul.

"Hmm." Zeratul was silent.

Augustus once again observed the cerebrum through the transparent energy cage, and found that it was obviously a size smaller than the cerebrum Sass he had seen before, with white and moist skin on the surface Also much softer.

Indeed, aside from the sharp and tiny teeth in the mouth of this cerebrate, the cerebrate doesn't look threatening at all.

"Hey, it's time for you to lose weight, fat boy." At this time, Reynolds said while stroking the stubble on his chin.

"." The brain worm ignored Renault.

"Among the brain worms I've seen, Cerebral Worm α is the most extraordinary one." Augustus looked at the brain worm and said, "It may even be the smartest and deadliest."

"All it lacks is time to grow." He said, "If you hadn't brought it back, it might well have been the greatest enemy humans and protoss have ever faced.

"Sweet words." The brainworm paused: "You think these sweet words can please me...continue talking."

"Francois, what are you going to do with this brain worm." Augustus changed the topic.

"I heard that you all like sliced ​​research, or the kind that cuts half and puts the other half in the nutrient solution to continue the experiment." Lei Nuo said in a low voice.

The brain worm shook its head and froze for a moment, and shrank its body into the corner. It knew that humans were bluffing.

"If you have the guts, kill me," said the cerebrate.

"Once the brain worm dies, it will not be long before Juggernaut will be resurrected." Francois adjusted his glasses and said, "So, we must keep it alive."

"I believe that there has never been an individual among the Zerg that died naturally due to aging." He looked at the brain worm without faltering for a moment: "I swear, after I die, my students, my students The students will still guard it! Even if it cannot bring any benefits to humans, it must not become a monster that will bring countless destruction and death."

"Weakness, limb weakness, degeneration, and functional decline." The brain worm slurred his words with extreme anger: "I curse you, your body will age and die until you die. This is a sad human being, because mortals must die."

"Relax, kid, there's nothing wrong with having a bunch of babysitters," Reno said with a smile.

"The original plan was to transform this cerebrate into a Cerberus cyborg, so that we can easily obtain an army of worms." Dr. Francois continued.

In the plan to control the Zerg, there are two completely different plans, one is top-down, that is, control the Zerg by controlling the Cerebral Worm or the Overlord.The other is bottom-up, that is to transform the huge bottom-level insect swarm, and artificially establish a mastermind to control them.

The Cerberus project was originally a bottom-up project, but Nayak said that it was only because they couldn't capture a brain worm, and could only conduct experiments on some low-level zerg individuals.

"What are the odds of success?" asked Augustus.

"The Cerberus Project has been able to control the Zerglings and Hydra Hydralisks, but the Cerebral Worm is completely different from those low-level Zergs. It is a psionic creature." Dr. Frankos said: "The Cerberus Experiment The people in the room can't guarantee that they can succeed in the first time."

"What's the other plan?" Augustus asked again: "If the probability of success is not [-]%, it is failure."

"Let me control it," Kerrigan said suddenly at this moment.

"You can do it?" Augustus didn't think Kerrigan's psychic power could surpass that of a cerebrate.

"I'm trying to do that." Kerrigan nodded. "I can feel a connection with this cerebrum just like I control the worker bees."

"This is challenging the authority of the overlord." The cerebrate moved its body, shocked by Kerrigan's words: "The overlord is the creator of all cerebrates, and we are like an extension of its will and a part of his body."

However, it can pretend to be controlled by humans first, just waiting for them to take it lightly
"Cerebrates will never betray."

"But what if the master is dead?" Augustus looked into the eyes of the brain worm.

"The master will not die." The brain worm said in an unquestionable tone: "The master will never die."

"." Augustus glanced at the cerebrate again, and said to Kerrigan, "Try to do that first, my suggestion is to see how the circus trainers tame tigers and lions. "

"I won't let you go!" The cerebrate trembled as it endured unprecedented humiliation.

"Just do it this way, you are a smart brain worm, and you know how to do it is more beneficial to yourself now." When Augustus spoke, the hull of the Hyperion trembled slightly.

This is the first time that the Hyperion has entered the physical universe since the Char galaxy entered the hyperspace channel. They will stop for a while in Luria, a mining world in the Kymorian Federation, and go to the star after completing the last ammunition supply. The home planet of spirits, Al.

And this is also to fulfill the promise of Augustus to help Tassadar and help the Protoss defend Aiur.To fend off the enemies of Man, they too must slay the Overlord in the Battle of Aiur.
