StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

In the blazing blue flame, the mimetic larva in front of Stone struggled and turned into a mass of viscous dark purple primordial liquid, like a burnt candle.The other mimetic larvae that hadn't been crushed by the bullets soon ended up in the same fate. The flames that exploded immediately engulfed everything around them, but the ghost agents were unscathed.

"Well done, Tanya." The advantage of Stone is that he never hesitates to praise his teammates.

Although her psionic level is only 5.1, Tanya Caulfield's ability to control fire makes her a deadly weapon against the zerg.Among those with the talent of telepathy, Tanya's talent is extremely rare. This ability to control fire attacks with thoughts is called flame deflagration.

"You're right." Tanya snorted lightly.

Tanya has known Stone for a while, and this serious junior has a compassionate heart.

In the old federal era, Ghost Agents had to erase their memories every time they performed a mission, so it was common for them not to remember comrades who had fought side by side at all, and it was not necessary to cultivate a tacit understanding with teammates.

This is also the reason why Ghost Agent is generally a cold image, because since it is bound to be forgotten, there is no need to leave any traces at all.If you have too many entanglements with other people, it must be the other person who suffers.

Such an approach is quite necessary. From the perspective of secrecy, the commander never elaborates when giving orders to the soldiers, because it is impossible for soldiers who do not know the secret to reveal the secret.On the other hand, the memory of the person who was killed will always remain in the mind of the ghost agent, and if it accumulates, it will increase the chance of the ghost getting out of control.

In Age of Empires, Ghosts are no longer primarily used to deal with internal threats, they mainly fight Zerg and Protoss.The new system made the imperial ghost program much more humane, and Emperor Augustus even allowed the ghosts to hold public office after retirement.

"Guys, pay attention to the movement around me when I invade this guy's brain." Vega next to him activated his dominance mask:
"If it has a brain."

The instructors in the ghost military academy are very fond of geniuses with the ability to control the mind. They are usually the best among the students, and their PSI ratings are extremely high.The mask of domination can strengthen the spiritual power of these ghost agents and help them control the minds of others.

There is no doubt that Vega has this talent.As an expert in the field of mind control, Vega is extremely dangerous, because unless equipped with psionic shielding equipment, those powerful figures may become her playthings.

At this time, there was a dying imitation larva in front of Vega. It was shot several times, and it was wriggling in a dying struggle.The meaning of the birth of mimic larvae is to infiltrate and destroy, which is the mission entrusted to them by the swarm.

Except for feral zerg and special individuals, general zerg individuals do not possess complex thoughts.

In the few seconds that Vega stared at the monster, its struggles softened immediately, like a puddle of dark purple glue.

Only high-level ghost agents like Stone can feel Vega's powerful spiritual power. For her, controlling a person's brain is as easy as destroying him. …

If Vega can control the commander of an army, then the situation on the battlefield may be reversed quickly.

Ten seconds later, Weijia shook her head, raised her thigh wrapped in a bright white tight combat uniform, and crushed the wriggling mimesis to death, muttering: "This pig."

Immediately afterwards, Vega drew out the pistol at his waist and shot at a dark corner. A hidden eyeball was instantly shattered and slowly fell off the vine blanket.It is with living eyeballs like these that the Zerg spot the Wraiths in stealth.

The swarm is connected by a vast psionic network, and after hacking into the mind of one of them, Veigar can gain vital information.

"I can't imagine that these monsters might do evil in His Majesty's face." Seeing that Vega stomped the dying monster to death, Stone couldn't help asking, "What information did you get?"

"I have to admit, I felt a little pity when I smashed that handsome face." Vega picked up his C-20A shotgun again and replied:
"It is rare for the intelligence agencies to do stupid things. They are right. There is not only a formed main hive here, but also a queen. At the same time, there may be tens of thousands of zerg in this area, and they are all descendants of the queen. .”

"Queens? They are new variants that appeared after the invasion of the original zerg, and they are rare in places like Tarsonis." Tanya said with a poisonous tongue: "And this Queen of Tarsonis is probably a The first living specimen we'll ever catch."

"I've read the data on the queens in the combat manual. Compared to the queens, they lose the ability to fly and become like an arachnid, and they are bigger than a truck." Stone said:

"How did she get in here?"

The Tarsonis Customs Department has strict quarantine measures for imported goods, and even an alien mouse cannot slip in.More likely, something is wrong with some of them.

"All the zerg in Tarsonis come from the same zerg mother, mimic hatchlings, springlings, hydralisks, cockroaches, including those worker bees that work in the depths of the sewers." Vega said:

"And this worm mother was mutated from a larva that was parasitic in the body of the New Sydney Sheriff. The law enforcement officer was promoted because of his devotion to duty and was transferred to the Tarsonis Police Station. When he passed through customs, he told Customs officers paid a large sum of Imperial Credits to avoid the inspection process."

"It's a shame that his wife and four children who remain in New Sydney are still waiting to hear from Tarsonis."

"Did you fight that worm queen just now?" Tan Ya said.

"She is controlling the mimic larva." Vega looked relaxed: "The queen's mental power is very strong, but not as strong as the brain worm in the palace. It will take me a long time to compete with her for control of the mimic larva." A lot of strength, this is a real battle between man and nature."

"Obviously, at that time his brain was already under the control of internal parasites." Captain Pierce continued:
"Do you know where the worm queen is?"

"I know, the queen is not far from us." Vega said: "But there are a large number of zerg protecting her.  …

"Just kill her, and the zerg here will turn into a mess of sand," Pierce said.

"Only by us?" Tanya said.

"Upload the queen's coordinates to the tactical network, and the other Ghosts know right away what to do," Pierce said.

"Uploading." Vega said.

"What about Team D and Team E?" Stone asked suddenly.

"They can take care of themselves," Pierce said. "The mission has changed, and now our target is the queen."

"The other teams who heard our report will be here soon."

Pierce's team was on the move again, and as they got deeper and deeper into the sewer's maze of pipes, there were more and more signs of engagement. The ground was littered with metal shards from the Widow Mine and blasted shattered zerg.

These loyal machines are at home in the complex and ever-changing sewers, sacrificing themselves when necessary to clear the way for Imperial forces.

The Ghosts were moving fast, and once the eyes that monitored the sewer network were knocked out, the Zerg became blind.It is undoubtedly difficult for ordinary Imperial combat troops to advance in such complex terrain, but Ghost agents are experts in infiltration.

Stone and his teammates quietly passed the Zerg that was patrolling anxiously in the sewer, watching the huge Hydra Hydralisk look at the undulating creep in amazement, and they kept waving their sharp spears. Bonescythe tries to pick out enemies in the air, but nimble Ghosts swipe past them one by one.

These super-soldiers have always been synonymous with efficiency, and they don't waste time on the peripheral zerg.

Gradually, in the sewer, there were more and more tissue bodies, zerg organs, and entangled worm intestines attached to the ground and walls like a thick blanket.Everywhere one person's tall green insect eggs can be seen piled up in clusters, carefully guarded by diligent worker bees, like an orderly colony of termites.

A huge worm queen appeared in front of Stone and others. Her astonishingly terrifying body crawled on a large clump of worm eggs, and the specialized egg-laying organs in her abdomen continued to produce rice-like worms. egg.

queen.

After the end of the Brood War, the cerebrum's shortcomings of almost zero defense ability despite its powerful psychic power were also exposed.Under the orders of the new master, the queen worms, who originally only took on the tasks of guarding the lair and spreading parasites, evolved at an astonishing speed under the transformation of the evolution master Abathur, and became a higher-level commander.

The queen of insects came into being.They not only have the main hive mind to control the huge psionic network, but also have a powerful body to deal with assassination.This is obviously another life form that is completely different from the queen worm, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a reborn.

On Zerus, the primordial home of the Zerg, the Juggernauts and Cerebrates learned so much from their distant relatives that they forged another advanced Zerg individual capable of laying eggs.

The overlord and the cerebrates still rule the power pyramid of the swarm, and the queen is one level lower than the cerebrates.They do not have the ability to regenerate brain worms, but there are more of them.

In order to prevent the queen from threatening the status of the cerebrates, although this new strain of Zerg has a high degree of intelligence, it does not have an independent personality. They still have to serve the nest, and there is no possibility of betrayal. …

Again, Stone realized, the queen was different than the one in the data, possibly due to differences between the different hive strains.Over the years, the differences in the evolution of the individual branches of the Swarm have become more pronounced.

To him, the queen was an eerie amalgam of zerg, human, and protoss features.

The Queen of Worms is like a centaur with the upper body characteristics of a human female, except that the lower body of the horse has been replaced by the torso of a centipede and the appendages of a crab. There are all kinds of sharp spikes and blade-like stabs covered in solid horny Layers and thick plates of bone on top of the body.

Compared with this hideous and terrifying body, the worm queen's body itself is actually somewhat beautiful.The swarm must have taken inspiration from human females, so that the mother worms have become human too, only with a female bumpy body covered with exoskeleton armor and bone spurs, and a truly angular face with fangs and dim eyes.

Her head, covered in massive bony armor, looked like that of a protoss, which should have been a mere coincidence.

As a "loving" mother, queens are very maternal and guard their nests faithfully, rarely stepping outside the range of creep, which is why they are extremely difficult to capture.

As for why she looks so human, it probably has something to do with the psykers captured by the swarm.Perhaps the zerg have taken to the maternal nature of humans, seeing it as an excellent trait that would help protect the pack.

At this moment, the queen didn't seem to notice Stone, and her attention was on the Zerg who was fighting other human forces.

Stone walked through the hydralisks crawling beside the queen, and slowly approached the mother.Invisibility doesn't always work, and after the terrible blows that the Dark Templars have inflicted on the Swarm, there isn't a hive that doesn't take precautions against these warriors capable of invisibility.

Vega was faster, and she was at the forefront like a dexterous cat.This ghost is always afraid of hardships and difficulties, and he is always the fastest and most accurate one.

Ghosts are never silent.

But when Vega was dozens of yards away from the worm queen, the Hydralisks guarding the worm queen suddenly became manic.Had it not been for Stone's quick reaction, he would have been almost cut to pieces.

"This cunning monster." Stone, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately killed several zerglings at close range with a C-20A shotgun, but more zergs rushed over. The C-20A's piercing ammunition is very effective against the Hydralisk's carapace, but the ammunition is limited, and the ghosts often use sniping to kill key enemies instead of jumping in between enemies like the Templars.

If the worm mother could see the invisible Stone, she just pretended not to see it before.Compared with the past, these new species are not only bigger and more dangerous after absorbing the genes of other species, but also possess higher intelligence.

"Vega, it's up to you." Pierce said, but he took out the handle of a monomolecular psionic blade, and then, a pure blue psionic blade gushed out.

Psionic blades are indestructible, able to cut metal and stone, and kill a zerg with a single blow.

A dark templar master said, once the stars and the enemy find your tracks, when you are surrounded, young apprentices, a shadow run is in front of you.

Every Imperial Ghost is a disciple of the Nerazim Dark Master.

Hearing this, Weijia kept walking and continued to run towards the queen. She was carrying a nanomedicine that was enough to anesthetize the master.That's leftover from UED, extremely effective, but hard to replicate.

Emperor Augustus ordered the potion to be cracked, but with little success.
