The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 375: Protoss Purification! Golden Fleet! Rescue the Survivors!
"Do it!"

Following Paul's order, the Master Chief and Din Djarin rushed out of the jungle like arrows, and the infected humans immediately noticed their presence.

In an instant, a large number of infected people emerged from the buildings covered by the fungal blanket and rushed towards the investigation team.

These infected people whose brains have been completely devoured by parasites have long lost their original humanity, and the only thing left in their broken bodies is a strong desire to reproduce.

They only want to infect more living things, inject the parasitic eggs in their bodies into the other bodies, and contribute to the reproduction of the Zerg population.

In the blink of an eye, the Master Chief and his men were trapped in a tight circle. The infected people attacked them from all directions with their sharp mouths and fangs wide open, as if they wanted to eat them alive and tear them to pieces.

"cover--!"

As soon as Paul finished speaking, he immediately released a large version of the hunting dart. This type of hunting dart no longer relied on injecting venom to paralyze and cause fatal damage to the target.

Instead, it relies on pure physical impact to directly penetrate the opponent's head and body. It is more than enough to deal with some infected people without protective armor.

The hunting dart flew quickly, passing through the infected and forcibly opening a path for the Master Chief.

The Master Chief remained calm and collected throughout the entire process. Even when an infected person rushed to his side, he did not even turn his head to look. With the cover of his teammates, he just rushed forward with confidence.

Sure enough, when one of the infected just pounced on the Master Chief, Paul stopped him with a precise headshot.

The hard-light firearms they use are all silent weapons that have been finely processed. When they pull the trigger to fire the hard-light bullet, it will not make a loud noise like traditional gunpowder bullets.

There is only the silent death!

The members of the investigation team each covered the area from different angles. Chief Nurse Ding Jialin rushed towards the building infected by the fungal blanket. The time for this search was imminent, and they had to act quickly.

During this period, Luke Skywalker drew out his lightsaber, turned into a shadow and shuttled among the infected. Any infected person who was touched by the sword and shadow would be chopped into pieces in an instant.

No matter whether it has a thick cockroach-like shell or sharp bony blade limbs, it cannot stop the silky cutting of a lightsaber.

The lightsaber and Luke formed an unstoppable whirlwind of death, sweeping through the entire group of infected people and killing all of them with appendages growing on their bodies.

Purple-red blood and minced flesh fell from the air. In just a blink of an eye, Luke had killed hundreds of infected people.

Even Paul was surprised by such high killing efficiency. It seems that bringing Luke into his team was an extremely correct choice.

At the same time, Penny Wells was also firing continuously. The hard-light sniper rifle continued to emit silent rays, smashing the infected in the distance into pieces.

Perhaps because of playing video games for many years, Tiffany's hand speed and reaction are extremely fast, and when he uses a sniper rifle, he looks like a master of instant sniping.

He could kill two or three infected people in one second, and his accuracy was so amazing that even Chini was fascinated.

With the tacit cooperation of everyone, the Sergeant and Ding Jialin squeezed out a smooth path from the densely packed infected people. They rushed through the area and reached their destination.

Soon, the two used the detection equipment of the power armor to quickly and carefully scan the house to determine whether there was a signal source here.

However, the process was not smooth.

As soon as the Master Chief and Din Djarin broke into the room, they saw viscera and tumors all over the ceiling and walls, which automatically sprouted a large number of tentacles and attacked them.

It was not until then that the Master Chief discovered that these internal organs were actually binding the humans together, as if they were infecting and transforming them.

Faced with the uninvited members of the giant corporate investigation team, these tentacles naturally would not tolerate them and instantly opened up their smelly tumorous tissues and attacked everyone.

But the Master Chief and his men were all battle-hardened Titanic warriors, and in a split second, they used their weapons to accurately shoot off the tentacles that were approaching them.

At this moment, an infected fell from the ceiling, and the Zerg had completed his transformation.

In order to deal with the enemies that broke in here, the Zerg's underlying genetic program automatically issued a counterattack command, transforming the infected into a biological weapon with the ability of a bane.

The infected person's abdomen became extremely swollen, and the substance contained inside was an unstable acidic compound.

It is obvious that the Zerg are infected people modified according to the Baneling, and their purpose is to kill the invading enemies in front of them by self-destruction.

When he saw the purple-red light emanating from the infected person, the Master Chief jumped out of the window without any hesitation.

The next second, an explosion was heard in the house. The entire house was covered with strong acid. The corrosive substances spread in all directions, making a sizzling sound.

When the Master Chief saw that the Zerg had already made a counterattack program and would automatically generate Zerg to deal with them, he immediately reminded them in the team voice:
"Be careful of the infected in the house. They have mutated into banelings. Don't let them get close to you!"

Just as the sergeant finished speaking, Ding Djarin finally received some good news: "I found a survivor. He should not be completely infected. Come here as soon as possible."

After hearing the news, Paul hurried to clean up the infected people in front of him, and then rushed into the area where Ding Djarin was.

The room he came to was like the others, with its interior filled with disgusting tumors and internal organs, and it would also generate tentacles to attack intruders.

Ding Djarin was shooting at the Zerg tentacles with the hard-light submachine gun in his hand to break the hatching eggs in advance. Behind him was a human with a tumor embedded in the wall.

At this moment, a large number of tentacles were entangled with the man, as if they were undergoing biological transformation.

Li Ang, who was observing the situation of the front-line investigation team at the headquarters of the Wanjie Base, saw the condition of the survivor through Ding Jialin's perspective.

Based on the characteristics of the other person's combat uniform, Leon quickly determined that this was a ghost agent who could use psychic powers.

In the StarCraft universe, Ghost Agents are an elite force created by the Terran Federal Government after a series of professional training for people with psychic talents.

For example, Sarah Kerrigan, who became the Queen of Blades, and Nova and others.

Immediately, Leon informed the members of the investigation team at the front line of this detail. Paul looked at the agent who was tortured to death and secretly marveled at his strong willpower.

It is because of the protection of psychic energy that they have been able to hold on until now. If they were any ordinary human, they would have lost their minds by now and become a breeding ground for the Zerg.

Noticing the arrival of Paul and others, the agent raised his heavy and tired eyelids and looked at Paul with blurry eyes:
"Are you... the Terran Federation rescue team, or the Rangers?"

Before Paul could introduce himself, the agent continued speaking. He felt that he did not have much time left and could only provide information as quickly as possible in the limited time to save more survivors.

"There's room for other people in the neural system module in my brain, please...!"

After saying this, the ghost agent completely lost consciousness. The reason he was able to hold on until now with his last breath was because he hoped to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Now that someone is here to help, his mission is accomplished!
Seeing such a heroic warrior sacrifice in front of him, Paul looked at him with respect, and then ordered the hunting dart to remove the nervous system module in the opponent's brain.

Then, Paul used the AI ​​intelligence of his power armor to quickly extract the data from the neural module.

After a while, the data information analyzed by AI was transmitted back to the database of the Wanjie Base Headquarters, and Li Ang and others were able to understand the ins and outs of what happened here.

It turned out that just a few months ago, the Zerg suddenly launched a full-scale invasion of the Terran Federation, and countless colonized galaxies were instantly engulfed in flames of war.

The Zerg, advancing with unstoppable force, soon ignited the war near the planet Korhal, the capital of the Terran Federation.

In such an urgent situation, the Terran Federation troops decisively chose to abandon the marginal colonies and gave priority to sending elite troops to protect the safety of the powerful masters.

As for the abandoned people, let them fend for themselves.

This planet is one of the colonies abandoned by the Terran Federation. Long before the Zerg invaded this star system, the federal army, having received intelligence, had already evacuated urgently.

Only a handful of militiamen and ordinary people were left to carry out a meaningless defense.

The final result was obvious. In less than half a day, the planet was submerged by the Zerg wave. A large amount of fungal blankets spread rapidly, turning the planet into a huge Zerg nest.

If nothing unexpected happens, this place will soon become one of the Zerg's front-line bases, and the Zerg troops that are being hatched will soon set out for the next attack site!
In the desperate situation of being isolated and helpless, the survivors here can only send out distress signals to all external forces, whether they are the rebel rangers or other organizations.

Anyone can come to rescue them!
However, the area they were in was too remote. Even if the rangers really received the distress signal, they might not be able to wait for rescue to arrive.

If it weren't for the expeditionary fleet of the Universal Corporation that happened to dock in this star system, they wouldn't be able to call anyone with just their weak signal.

Fortunately, Paul's persistence gave these survivors a glimmer of hope. Now they have the opportunity to get rescued by the giant enterprise and leave this purgatory surrounded by Zerg.

"Since they have a way to contact the Rangers, it means that our operation is on the right track!"

As Paul spoke to his team members, he raised his hand and fired a shot, helping the infected ghost agent get rid of his pain.

Now that they have the key clue, their next move becomes clearer.

"Everyone evacuate here immediately!"

Under Paul's command, the investigation team immediately withdrew from the combat state and used the hard light focusing device to burn the buildings covered with fungal blankets.

As the burning flames rose from the house, a large number of tumors and internal organs began to shrivel and become thin, making crackling sounds.

Because these buildings are all made of wood, and with the dry fallen leaves and trees around them, the fire here will soon burn fiercely. "It's just right to use this fire to divert their attention." After Paul set fire to the building complex, he saw a large number of springtails starting to flock here.

Including the eye bugs in the sky, they quickly gathered around the cabin, which gave the investigation team members the opportunity to act quickly.

[Successfully locked the location of the remaining survivors, please take rescue action as soon as possible, the estimated time for the fungal blanket to reach the survivors: 47 minutes! ]

At this time, the AI ​​intelligent device issued a reminder that according to the image data provided by the giant enterprise fleet, the Zerg fungal blanket was approaching their location.

But more troublesome news is yet to come. David Martinez, the commander of the flagship headquarters, suddenly issued a warning to the members of the ground operation team:
[Paul, we have detected an interstellar fleet appearing outside this star system. You must hurry!]

Hearing this, Paul asked more: "Are they the Terran Federation fleet coming to rescue the survivors?"

As soon as he said this, Paul shook his head to reject this speculation.

After all, the ghost agent's neural module had already told them that the Terran Federation had abandoned all of its marginal colonies.

[Whether the other party is a friend or foe is still unknown, and further investigation is needed. In short, we have to move faster. ]

At the same time, David Martinez's situation report was also sent back to the headquarters of the Wanjie Base.

Leon looked at the images sent by the front-line fleet. Although the picture was not very clear, he had basically guessed the other party's origins from the characteristics of the golden light.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This is obviously the Protoss’ Golden Fleet!
The Golden Fleet can be regarded as the ace elite force in the Protoss camp, mainly composed of Void Rays, Storm Battleships, aircraft carriers, and motherships.

Powerful Protoss motherships can even rely on the Khaydarin crystals in their core areas to distort and tear time and space, destroying enemy fleets and shattering planets in an instant.

This fleet of strategic significance is also the main tool used by the Protoss to eliminate the Zerg.

Their main task is to purify planets infected by the Zerg. Of course, the purification method is a bit extreme. They use the fleet's energy cannons to vitrify the ground.

This operation is exactly the same as the burning glass of the Covenant.

Doing so can indeed effectively exterminate the Zerg on the planet, but during the purification process, the Protoss will not care whether there are human survivors there.

For the Protoss, they would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let go of any potential Zerg infestation.

Now that the Protoss' Golden Fleet has warped to the outskirts of the galaxy, it won't be long before they forcibly purify this planet.

When Paul learned that the visitors were the Protoss fleet, he quickly spoke up and asked David Martinez: "How long will it take for them to arrive here?"

[Based on their current speed, you only have six hours at most. If they start the warp, you only have one hour!]

Paul originally planned to complete the rescue operation within 12 hours, but he didn't expect the time to be compressed into one hour.

Paul didn't want them to stay here until the Protoss' Golden Fleet arrived. Before the other party arrived, they must leave regardless of whether they rescued any survivors!

"Understood. I will take care of this before the Protoss fleet arrives."

After saying that, Paul ended the call with the flagship headquarters. Time waits for no one, and they must take the next step as soon as possible.

"Everyone, we are running out of time. Try to take away the survivors on this planet within half an hour!"

"Yes!"

They did not want to have a head-on conflict with the Protoss' Golden Fleet, so it would be best to hide their tracks at this time to avoid any further complications.

It just so happens that the purpose of the Golden Fleet is to purify the Zerg here, so as to save the giant enterprise from wasting the Scorpion Tailed Lion virus to deal with the pests here.

"If we speed up by force, we will have to pass directly through the enemy's line of sight, which will attract the Zerg's attention. But if we don't do this, we will definitely be too late."

Ding Jialin quickly estimated the distance to the survivors' location and reminded everyone.

The most time-consuming part of their journey was trying their best to avoid the Zerg's eye worm sentinels, including avoiding the springtails with well-developed sensory functions.

It is quite troublesome to bypass these Zerg troops.

"There's nothing I can do. Time waits for no one. I'll kill any bugs that block my path. Even though this will alert the hive consciousness, it's the only thing I can do."

While packing up weapons and equipment, Paul distributed route navigation to each team member.

Individuals regarded as formal military units by the Zerg will be connected to the hive consciousness and share all sensory information.

This means that once Paul and his team fight the bugs, they will immediately attract a massive Zerg army!

As for the humans who were previously infected, they were merely "outsourced workers" of the Zerg and had no connection to the hive consciousness at all. Therefore, the Zerg did not become aware of the unusual movements here until the fire started.

"So, what we will face next is an attack from all Zergs."

Pani's nerves were tense, as if he could already see the insects all over the mountains turning into a torrent and rushing towards him.

Not only do they have to deal with the insect attacks, but they also have to find ways to cover the survivors' escape. This operation is obviously much more difficult than before.

Everyone in the investigation team understood that the next action would be even more dangerous, but they did not say much. After a few people reorganized themselves a little, they continued on their journey to rescue the survivors.

Immediately, the team members changed their combat strategy. The Chief and Ding Djarin were responsible for dealing with the Overlord and Eyeworms in the sky, while the rest of them rushed towards their destination.

Luke Skywalker, holding a lightsaber, led the way, cutting into pieces all the Zerg creatures that blocked his way in a flash.

Luke, who already had an excellent talent for the Force, also learned a trick of controlling objects with the Force from his father Darth Vader. When he encountered a fast-moving insect, he could directly suck it over and kill it with a sword.

The tacit cooperation of the six people formed a sweeping wind of blades, and all the insects along the way were turned into corpses. Most of the insects died from gunfire and knife cuts before they could even fight back.

The only thing they could do was to send a signal to the hive consciousness, asking the Zerg army to come here to encircle and wipe out Paul and his gang of invaders.

After a while, the insect queen received the emergency signal and immediately dispatched a large number of eye insects to this side, and the rest of the formal troops also marched towards the area where Paul was.

By rushing along the way, Paul and his team soon arrived at the location of the survivors.

At this moment, this human settlement was also attacked by the Zerg, and a large number of Zerglings surrounded it. Only a few human soldiers were guarding a small fortress.

Relying on the fortress made of reinforced concrete, these soldiers can also use heavy machine guns and submachine guns to resist the invasion of Zerg.

But when the ammunition is exhausted, this fortress will become their deathbed!

boom--!
A roar was heard in the fortress. It was the anti-aircraft firepower device composed of several cannon batteries, which was also the only heavy artillery weapon of the survivors.

However, with such little defensive strength, the survivors who are at an absolute disadvantage cannot hold out for long.

Now they are only facing the most basic Zerglings. Once the Hydralisks and Roaches behind them also approach, their firepower will be completely useless in the face of the Zerg army.

"Has the rescue signal we sent out been received? Why hasn't any reinforcements been seen after such a long time?" one of the soldiers shouted.

"You still expect someone to come and rescue us? The bastard generals of the Terran Federation only care about their own lives. How could they care about our lives?"

Another soldier responded coldly, "The only ones who can save us are the Rangers, but they don't have enough manpower to feed these bugs."

Bang-!
The roar of anti-aircraft guns forcibly interrupted the conversation between the two. Perhaps the roar of gunfire could shatter the fear in their hearts. Even when facing the surging springtails, the soldiers did not retreat because of fear.

Just as the Zerglings were about to rush into the fortress and tear the soldiers into pieces, several ball lightning suddenly swept in from a distance, burning a large number of Zerglings until they were charred on the outside and crispy on the inside.

The members of the giant enterprise investigation team slowly emerged from the lightning and thunder, and the blue and white electric currents passed through their power armor, making them look like gods descending from heaven.

Before the soldiers could see clearly what was happening, Paul and Luke each took a sword and chopped the insect swarms on both sides into pieces.

To the soldiers in the fortress, this scene looked as smooth and enjoyable as cutting fruit with a knife.

At this time, the Zerg's Hydralisk troops also arrived at the battlefield. They pupated with their strong muscles and sprayed their powerful spines towards this side.

But these poisonous spines that flew into the air were fixed in mid-air by Luke's Force before they fell. Then the Force was released, and the spines actually bounced back.

A large number of springtails and hydralisks were shot to pieces by their spines.

As Paul fired several consecutive spherical lightning bolts, the Zerg troops that had just arrived here were wiped out in an instant!
Seeing the scene in front of them, the soldiers in the fortress felt like they had not woken up yet. These people were so strong that they looked like superheroes that only appeared in movies.

It was not until the cannon behind them roared again that they woke up from their dream.

They finally got reinforcements!
After a while, with the joint attack of the members of the giant enterprise investigation team, this wave of insect swarms was temporarily cleared away, but it would not last too long.

Because the subsequent main Zerg forces will soon arrive here and completely submerge this place.
