StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

In the early morning of July 19, the highway from Oak Forest to Fortress Howey.

A layer of white frost condenses on the Turasis thorn bushes on both sides of the road. Under the pale white light of the car lights, it emits a crystal-clear light, like a work of art. In the deep darkness, hungry polar beasts roared far away, and the icy wind brought the smell of blood and gunpowder.

The first class of heavy armored personnel carriers drove at the front, with a hunting Kemorian KM flag welded to the right side of the rearview mirror. Augustus was driving, and the co-pilot was Lieutenant Reagan, the platoon leader, who was sitting in the third row. The container truck behind them was filled with a group of fully armed Marines.

As the distance to Howe Fortress grew closer and closer, the craters on the road ahead gradually became denser, and Augustus' armored personnel carriers sometimes had to carefully maneuver around several craters before continuing their advance.

We are only one mile away from the first outpost of Fortress Hawe. Marines, be vigilant. In the platoon's communication channel, Reagan said while looking at the navigation on the console.

Load the bullet. Augustus said a few words in a very calm voice on his class's communication channel.

Augustus was answered with wordless silence and a neat click. While waiting calmly, everyone could feel their hearts beating.

A mile of road is not too long for a high-speed armored personnel carrier. When Augustus and Reagan saw the first destroyed roadblock, there was a semicircular bunker made of fine steel towers next to the highway. The shadow of the outpost consisting of a cold gray circular retaining wall slowly emerged.

We are passing through the 020 outpost. When the speed of the armored personnel carrier increased significantly, Reagan's voice rang again, and Augustus and others clearly felt that his breathing was somewhat rapid.

Augustus' armored personnel carrier sped past the outpost. Under the vehicle lights, the walls of the outpost building shone with the heat-insulating coating on their surfaces. However, as he had expected earlier, the outpost was already deserted. . Some of the main buildings were still burning inside, but the flames were not easily visible.

Continue forward, the outpost is unguarded. The roadblock has been destroyed and the front is clear, Reagan told the platoon.

We have twenty minutes to reach Fortress Howe.

At this time, Augustus could clearly hear the roar of Kemerian's iconic large-caliber mortars, and there were often bright, momentary light spots flashing away.

The road ahead was unexpectedly smooth, so Augustus sped forward, pretending that reinforcements were quickly arriving to support him. Gradually, the outline of the towering hexagonal tower of Howe Fortress became vaguely visible, and a high-pressure airlock door studded with spikes directly in front of Augustus was enlarging in his eyes.

There are two Kaimorian soldiers at the door. Regan said, Would you like to stop and accept their questioning?

In Augustus's eyes, the airlock door of the fortress suddenly opened. Two Seagoron Legion soldiers wearing dark blue power armor and black-dyed wing badges on their chests were gesturing to get Augustus's vehicle. stop.

The more you talk to them, the easier it is to be exposed. Augustus Mosuo turned the steering wheel: Second Lieutenant, my suggestion is...

Go all the way on the gas.

Originally, the two Hai Gelong soldiers were also very confused about the sudden appearance of the convoy, because they knew very well that there could be no other attacking troops tonight. Now that the Hai Gelong assault detachment nearby has arrived, where did these troops with KM flags come from?

But no matter what, they didn't dare to shoot at Augustus, what if he was really one of their own?

They dare not take responsibility.

However, when Augustus's armored personnel carrier rushed towards them at an unabated speed, it was too late for the two Seagoron Legionnaires to escape.

In the sight of Augustus and Regan, the two Hygoron soldiers seemed to have crashed into the car themselves. They were hanging on the front window of the armored personnel carrier, their helmets sticking tightly to it. A few seconds later, their feet were caught under the wheels, and their bodies disappeared in the blink of an eye. The armored personnel carrier weighing dozens of tons jumped and ran over their bodies.

Another heavy armored personnel carrier followed and knocked the two unconscious soldiers out again. This time, they never got up again.

Boss, your driving skills are really bad. Did you hit a trash can? Hanak asked on the Class 1 channel.

Wrong, it's two evil dragons.

Augustus turned the steering wheel, and the armored personnel carrier turned into another lane. At the end of this lane, the gunfire became more and more intensive, but except for the destroyed armored personnel carriers and the bodies of some federal marines, they had not encountered the enemy or their own troops yet.

Where are you going? Next to him, Reagan turned his head to look at the road signs. Many streetlights had been broken, and the speed of the car was high, so he couldn't see clearly: Officer's Wives Club? Wrestling Fighting Training Course?

Dear Reagan, you perfectly avoided all the right answers. Augustus's armored personnel carrier turned at an intersection, when Reagan finally saw a new road sign - parking platform.

I originally thought we were going to the command center or the armory, Reagan said.

These two places must be the primary attack targets of the Camorians. Augustus said: More than six hours have passed since the attack on Hawe Fortress, and the possibility that it has not been lost is very low. And we The company’s barracks are at the other end of the fortress, actually closer to the equally strategically important parking platform.”

Think about it, if Fortress Hawe is destined to fail, what will Lieutenant Colonel Vanderspup do?

If it was Captain Warfield, he would definitely choose to defend his position. Reagan said, But if it was Vanderspu, I think there is a high probability that he would escape.

Yes, and if he wants to escape, he only has one option left, and that is to take a spaceship.

Augustus' car drove up an upward ramp, and at this time, the vast parking platform was already in sight.

About a dozen soldiers of the Seagoron Legion in dark blue paint were on the road a few hundred yards away from Augustus, running with their backs to him towards the parking platform. Further away, they could easily I saw two different troops shooting at each other on the platform.

An APOD-33 transport plane capable of carrying seven or eight Marines rose from a barrage of spike bullets, and its propellers emitted two beams of dazzling blue light. The spacecraft was quickly locked, and an anti-aircraft missile tower next to the landing platform controlled by soldiers of the Seagoron Legion fired a series of missiles before it rose to high altitude.

Almost instantly, with a thunderous roar, the transport ship exploded, and the fragments of the ship fell from the sky wrapped in flames, like blooming summer fireworks.
