StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 602 Nuclear Peaceful Coexistence
It was a smoky and war-torn afternoon, and the sun of Phaethon was hanging high above the cactus canyon fortress, with a pale light shining through the thick black clouds.

Like a lightsaber piercing through thick clouds, the bright flames held up multiple nuclear bomb silos to lift up the tactical nuclear bombs, and the smoke columns left by dozens of nuclear bomb propellers cut the gloomy sky.

In an instant, it seemed that countless fireballs fell from the sky.

The nuclear bomb exploded in the air, and the extremely strong light instantly flooded the world. A huge mushroom cloud propped up the deadly canopy in the vast desert, and the fiery red cloud swept everything with an unstoppable force of destruction.

As if receiving a heavy punch, the swarm of insects burned in howling, and the shock wave that followed turned into a horizontal wall of air, and everything they encountered on the way was wiped out. Terrible light and heat and nuclei with death radiation The storm tore apart numerous brood lords and corrupt flies in the air.

Unstoppable, irreversible.

Humanity has mastered the power of nuclear energy centuries ago, and it remains the pinnacle of human military power today.

"God, this is terrible." Although the glare had dissipated, Dr. Narud, who was wearing a thick protective suit, still didn't dare to open his eyes.He was obviously terrified by the overwhelming Zerg and nuclear bombs, and he was half kneeling under the black sarcophagus base of the Xel'Naga Artifact, his lips trembling slightly.

At the same time, the whole desert was burning, a horrible scene of desolation and death, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.From roaring missile turrets to flashing railgun turrets, the base was covered in thick ash, and the ground was littered with huge shell casings and the wreckage of mech tanks smoking black.

In the dark red sky, ashes are falling one after another, as if the world is made of paper, and the paper has been burned.

Narud's reaction is quite normal, which is very in line with the image he has tried to create.In the field of science, he is undoubtedly a master with great self-confidence, so that Emperor Augustus will entrust important projects and resources to him.On the battlefield, Narud showed a normal performance that had never experienced war, and seemed to lack courage and threat.

In fact, even those battle-tested imperial soldiers turned pale after seeing the scene in front of them. The roars and mournful cries in the communication channel always make people feel that they are infinitely close to death.

There are traces of fierce battles everywhere in the fortress, and there are huge pits made by Zerg airdrop bags everywhere.The remains of the dead zerg and imperial soldiers were not even removed in time, and the neatly lined supply depots and barracks were now devastated.

Where battles were at their worst, Imperial soldiers in positions had to deal with monsters emerging from the ground in desperate hand-to-hand combat.Even the royal guard suffered heavy casualties, and three Odin mechas were damaged.

"Compared to the Genesis and Apocalypse-level nuclear bombs, the tactical nuclear bomb is just a baby." Augustus shook his head seeing Narud in such embarrassment.

It's a cliché that ever since Korhal was bombed, his brother Prince Arcturus became bewildered and ordered the Imperial scientists in the Physics Laboratory to tinker with a number of nuclear weapons.Corresponding to the Apocalypse level is the Genesis nuclear bomb, the kind that can restart the world with one click.

In comparison, the individual tactical nuclear bombs are much smaller.

The killing radius of the tactical nuclear bomb is not that large compared to those big guys in the empire's nuclear arsenal, but it is enough to turn the fortress into a sea of ​​flames.The tactical nuclear bomb detonated in Phaeton today has added elements capable of producing strong radioactivity, and the radiation cloud it produces will pollute this land for a long time.

The nuclear power of the Tyranid Empire is extremely abundant, and the nuclear weapons arsenal is sufficient and diverse, enough to turn the planet into scorched earth.Nevertheless, the misuse of such bombs is very likely to lead to serious consequences.Fallout can damage the Zerg's genome, causing mutations.

Most mutations cause widespread death, but very few mutations can be beneficial to the swarm, which has had dire consequences.

So far, I can't manage so much for the time being, and I can't give up eating because of choking.

"Sorry, Your Majesty." Narud still didn't move, his legs seemed to be weak.Even though he's acting weak, this guy who's really proud at heart doesn't really pee his pants in fear.

"Doctor, now is not the time to cover your ears and tremble." Sometimes Augustus also felt that Narud was acting too much, and in the eyes of the emperor, the more frightened he was, the more he looked like a red-nosed man clown.

Although Narud is a disgrace to Xel'Naga, he is really not afraid of being like this, he is just acting as usual.Under the disguise of Narud's emotions, there was only a mocking sneer.

The long time has almost exhausted the power of Narud, the incarnation of this world, but relying on the power of the Xel'Naga Temple, it can still contend with the mighty Primordial Queen of Blades.

"Tactical nuclear weapons can only solve it for a while, and the real killer is the Nova Impact of the Xel'Naga Artifact. Get up! The fate of the Tyrann Empire and all mankind depends on you."

".I'm just an old and weak scientist. These, guns and artillery, zerg and viruses, are still too exciting for an old man like me." Hearing this, Dr. Narud was so scared that he seemed to give birth to endless courage.He stood up and readjusted the Xel'Naga artifact.

Modified by Dr. Narud, the Xel'Naga Artifact's Nova Shock Overdrive mode is powerful enough to cover the Phaeton system and wipe out the Zerg within light-years.It's just that according to Narud, this kind of attack will completely deplete the energy of the artifact, and it must be replenished before it can be used again.

Even if the swarm had a large number, such a large-scale casualty could seriously damage their vitality, suspend their offensive, and allow the Tyrann Empire to take a breather.

"You are the expert in this field. I don't think anyone knows more about the Nagar's creations than you. Only you can operate it yourself, so you can be sure. I can't risk the lives of thousands of soldiers of the empire." Augustus said What is true is the truth, if Narud is reading his thoughts, he will find that the other party is absolutely from the heart, every sentence is true.

"Emile, you know me. As long as I can get one step closer to success, I am willing to do whatever it is."

Besides, since the Xel'Naga artifacts have to be transformed by professionals like Narud, how can Augustus feel at ease when he goes to the trap without bringing this guy with him.

Emperor Augustus Mengsk definitely respects the old and loves the young. Both Sarnaganarud and the royal cerebrate can prove that he is not some kind of demon.

"It is my honor to sacrifice my life for you and the empire." Narud was also scheming against Augustus, how could he help others to work for nothing.

As long as a large number of brain worms are cleared at once with the Xel'Naga artifact, the power of the master can be greatly weakened. In addition, the energy collected from the brain worms can also be used to revive Amon.

Thinking about it this way, the human beings of Augustus's Tyrannian Empire were actually just working for Narud, how could the latter not do his best.

When Amon returns, the swarm will return to their original fate, which is to slaughter all beings as the hounds of the Dark God, and then move towards final destruction.Narud has many ways to collect energy, and Amon will return sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

And Narud was sure that Augustus would use the Xel'Naga artifact to weaken the swarm, because the Tyrann Empire suffered too much losses and the defense line was crumbling, he had no choice at all—even if Augustus knew his plan, He was already preparing to slaughter the god in secret, and sent him back to his home in the void as soon as Amon showed his face.

Of course, this is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely impossible.

"Your Majesty, the bugs are coming up again." An imperial officer who rushed over reminded Augustus, "There are a lot of them."

At this moment, the radioactive material of the nuclear bomb is falling from the sky, and people dare not open their armored masks to breathe, and the medical soldiers are transferring the wounded to the radiation-proof cavity.It's so close to the explosion point that even the water in the fortress can't be drunk now, unless those people want their respiratory tract to die.

Nuke radioactive material also does a lot of damage to the Zerg, but only slows them down.In the distance, dense clusters of cockroaches appeared on the red-glowing horizon, and the sky was full of corrupt flying insects. The terrifying self-healing ability of these creatures could even quickly replenish the cells killed by radioactive compounds.

The dense army of cockroaches on the ground was covered with hard bone plate armor, like a high black wall when moving, and the tall ultralisks were like moving towers.These monsters armed with giant blades and covered with hard carapaces are like biological tanks, and ordinary human weapons cannot threaten them at all.

On the path of the swarm, it was a hellish scene. The ground was covered with blackened silt and crystals.Some huge skeletons stood horizontally on both sides, and there were dead insects all over the place, like mummified mole crickets that had been dried by the light and piled up in layers, and the fragmented bones and corpses piled up like a mountain.

When the swarm army gradually approached, the anti-aircraft guns and rapid-fire turrets on the fortification wall of the fortress responded first, and the precise cross-fire net beat one cockroach after another to bloody flesh, and then the heavy artillery also opened fire, and the earth It roared again.

Some of the injured cockroaches quickly burrowed into the ground, and the other part wrapped themselves in cocoons full of spikes at an extremely fast speed. Before long, these cocoons would hatch out terrifying destroyers.

The soldiers of the empire are now somewhat numb to this war. They have been fighting bugs in this desert for a day, and they don’t bother to remember how many bugs they have wiped out, because these bugs seem to be endless. .

Those experts and scholars in the empire who advocate the theory that the Zerg are not a threat have to kneel down and beg the forgiveness of the soldiers as long as they go to the real battlefield to take a look.

"How much longer do you have to prepare, doctor, if we don't activate the Nova Impact, we will fall into the ocean of insects." Augustus stared at Narud with a fierce look in his eyes. The terrifying eyes made the other party believe that if he At this time, if something goes wrong, the emperor will eat it alive.

"Wait for another minute, and the Nova Shock of the Xel'Naga will be ready soon. Your Majesty, only when it reaches its peak can the Nova Shock be fully effective." Narud threw himself next to the Xel'Naga's artifact, and he didn't seem to want to Throw away your own life.

Under the gaze of Augustus, the copper-blue Mitsubishi cylinder was slowly rotating on the base, surrounded by the light of Ronghe.Many traces of transformation can be seen on the cylinder with mysterious lines, all of which were written by Narud.

Apparently the original, or real, purpose of the Xel'Naga Artifact was not to kill zerg on a large scale.

"Your Majesty?" The officer was waiting for Augustus' order.

"Augustus, send more people over here! The front line needs new soldiers to fill the vacancies!" In the communication channel, Prince Arcturus, who is directing the defense of the southern fortifications, also said:

"Or get some more nuclear bombs, I remember I brought quite a few."

Prince Arcturus is good at fighting, and he also likes nuclear bombs to open the way, so his fleet is always equipped with excess nuclear bombs.

"Shoot another [-] nuclear bombs out." Augustus paced back and forth, correcting his order:

"Shoot them all, Rosenfeld, we have to be generous with the Zerg."

"You made the best decision," Arcturus said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The colonel left immediately, with a calm look as if Augustus didn't ask him to launch a nuclear bomb, but just distributed homework to elementary school students.

At this time, some fast-flying different dragons and corrupted flying insects had already arrived above the fortress, attacking the imperial soldiers on the ground while roaring.

Augustus saw Tychus driving Odin towards him, and the Hellfire missile bay behind him immediately fired a long series of dense fragmentation missiles, smashing a group of dragons to pieces.

"It's fun! Fighting bugs is the most fun thing in the galaxy, and I can clean them up while chewing gum!" He was yelling on the communication channel, obviously in high spirits:

"Your Grandpa Tychus is here!"

At this time, more nuclear bombs are being launched into the sky, clearing a large number of enemies on the ground and in the sky.

"Doctor!" Augustus looked at Narud again.

"It's almost over." Narud wiped his sweat at this moment, showing a joyful expression.

"All right!"

Just as Narud said, the copper-blue light on the surface of the Xel'Naga artifact suddenly brightened many times, looking like a heart with blue blood, a breathing cocoon.

Augustus originally planned to adopt a more radical plan, that is, to find the position of the current master by sacrificing Cerebral Worm α, and then dispatching death-death troops with the Sarnaga artifact directly ended it.

Leaving aside the fact that the masters of this generation are extremely cautious, they move between worlds through wormholes from time to time, and if they fail, they will just give the Xel'Naga artifact to the Zerg for nothing.

By sounding Narud's tone, Augustus found that he strongly advocated killing the Overlord.

Then Augustus deduced that in Narud's plan, the second generation master should be mortal.

If the Juggernaut is purified in the same way as the Queen of Blades is purified, the final beneficiary may still be Amon.In this way, he not only obtained the energy needed to pull his will from the void back to the real universe, but also obtained the corpse of the master to make the so-called shadow of the void super hybrid, which is the host of the evil god.

"Then activate it!"

　This is the name of achievement for cooperating with Mengsk, and it has to be said that it is quite fun.
