StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 64 Just not an angel

Passing through strong upper air currents, the spacecraft continued to climb to an altitude of 8,000 feet amid disturbing tremors before the crazy bumps stopped.

Augustus and his soldiers were tightly bound to their seats by safety belts. Except for Harnak and Josephine who were chatting, everyone was silently counting the time on the HUD display.

The transport ship has no portholes, and blue emergency lights are the only source of light in the troop transport cabin. About twenty minutes after takeoff, the transport ship bumped again, swaying like a fallen leaf in a strong wind.

Communication code β2-4-7-2: We encountered a Camorion Cerberus fighter, which has been damaged... The voice of the spacecraft pilot came from Augustus' helmet.

Modern Girl is landing - 7,000 feet - 6,000 feet... the hatch is opening... Hallelujah, good luck!

The reinforced movable cabins on both sides of the spacecraft gradually opened, and strong winds poured into the sealed cabin. Augustus and his soldiers unbuckled their seat belts and stood up amidst the howling wind.

Through the open hatch, a Kemerian camp located between the hills was revealed in front of Augustus. In the east-west direction, there were four rectangular tent-like military camps vertically side by side. The walls of the military camp prison are made of pieces of polygonal steel, covered with a layer of white tent cloth.

To the east of the military camp is a metallic water tower, and the drainage system is a metal pipe connected together.

The billowing smoke could be seen rising from the hill on the other side. An AOPD-33 transport plane passed the bunker on the top of the hill and crashed where Augustus could not see it.

They were still about 50 feet above the ground. Under the transport ship, people were running everywhere, and some camorians were shooting into the sky.

The third and fourth squads jump first, hurry up, hurry up! Augustus shouted on the communication channel, standing at the door of the windy hatch and personally sending the Marines down one after another.

The most dangerous time in airborne combat is the period between jumping and landing. The lower the take-off height, the shorter the time in the air, and the earlier the landing, the safer it is. Augustus must watch every one of his soldiers land safely.

At the same time, the transport ship hovering in the air may be hit by the Kaimorians' anti-aircraft firepower at any time. Staying on the ship for one more minute will increase the risk. Augustus always takes the lead in training, but now he has to take off at the end of the platoon.

See you on the ground, sir. Lisa, the last medic to jump, said to Augustus.

At this time, an anti-aircraft missile hit the auxiliary thruster of the transport ship, causing it to begin to rock violently. Amidst the curses of the pilot, Augustus jumped down holding the AGR-14 electromagnetic rifle newly issued to him.

The strong wind howled beside Augustus' helmet, and the servo components of the power armor made a creaking sound as his arms and legs swayed. With the jetpack on his back igniting, Augustus forcibly stopped his fall when he was about to land, and jumped another dozen meters.

Power boots hit the sandy soil hard, gravel flying.

We're on both feet.

Deng, Deng, Deng——

About a dozen spikes and copper bullets struck Augustus's power armor, scratching white streaks on his visor. Several Caymorian soldiers were hiding behind the barracks and shooting at Augustus.

None of these soldiers had ever worn power armor, only vest-like kinetic armor plates and greaves, and dark green goggles and helmets.

Machine gunner! Augustus said on the channel.

Without him looking back, at least two heavy machine guns were roaring behind Augustus, and two rows of golden bullet chains swept across the ground, sifting through the few Kemorian soldiers who tried to block them.

According to the scheduled plan, each squad went to different military camps and prisons to release prisoners, and the fourth squad protected the weapon boxes. Augustus waved his hand: The first squad followed me.

At this time, in the 34th Camp, fighter planes flew over the soldiers, and there were explosions and shooting sounds everywhere. When you looked up, you could see blood, corpses, craters, and flames.

When Augustus rushed towards the prison gate of the military camp numbered C-11, about a squad of Kemorian soldiers collided with them at a corner. It quickly turned into a hand-to-hand fight as the two sides got too close.

Among the Kaimorian soldiers, only two soldiers who looked like the leader had power armor, but their power armor was much cruder than that of the Federation Marines.

Their power armor uses the fusion core produced by the Federation, and the armor protection plates are made of less strong polysilicon steel plates. This type of armor has almost no curvature except for the joints, as if Kaimorian's mechanics directly used steel plates cut on the production line to create armor.

Augustus, who was walking at the front, opened the head of an ordinary Camorian soldier who rushed towards him with just the butt of his rifle. Reno and Harnak immediately opened fire behind him.

Renault held an electromagnetic rifle and fired at the Kemerian soldiers at close range. With his shooting skills greatly improved, he immediately knocked down several enemy soldiers.

A stream of heat that twisted the air surged from Harnak's flamethrower, igniting two Kaimorian warriors in the blink of an eye.

Augustus charged directly at the leader of a chemorion wearing power armor. Both sides held their rifles across their chests and collided like wrestling bulls, each trying to knock the other to the ground.

It’s just that Augustus’ strength was not dominant. The leaders of Kemorian were all the strongest warriors in the union. He directly knocked Augustus back a few steps and let out a triumphant laugh.

But the laughter soon stopped. Rick Kidd, the sniper behind Augustus, had already aimed at his helmet. In the rotation of the .50 bullet, the head of the laughing Kemorian leader was It exploded like a broken watermelon.

As Augustus regained his footing, Tychus rushed out from his left. He strapped the electromagnetic rifle to his back, bent down and slammed into the lower body of another Kaimorian leader, grabbed his feet, and knocked him to the ground when he lost his balance.

Tychus knelt on the leader's neck, holding the Gauss rifle, and used the butt of the rifle to hit the opponent's helmet visor again and again.

Although the manufacturing process of the Camorian mask is not as good as that of the Federation model, it can still withstand rifle bullets. However, after Tychus swung the rifle butt like wood again and again, cracks gradually appeared in the mask.

After more than a dozen swipes, there was a sound like breaking eggshells, and the screams stopped before they could be heard.

Augustus looked at all this and thought that no matter what his character was, Tychus Finley was indeed a fierce general.

After stepping on the corpses on the ground, Augustus led the first squad to the gate of the military camp prison. Ward used dynamite to blow open the door, and the Marines filed in followed by Augustus.

There were closed compartments in the military camp prison. Augustus's troops carried the bodies of the two Camorian leaders and used their retinas and blood to open the genetic lock.

When the first room was opened, six skinny prisoners were sitting in the corner, looking up at Augustus and his warriors with dull eyes.

Soon, an almost crazy joy appeared on each of their faces.

Am I dreaming? Someone cried with joy: I can't believe you are real.

“Are you angels called from heaven by God?”

No...we are many kinds of people, Augustus replied.

Merely not an angel.
