Chapter 315 Disaster (Final)

If it hadn't been for the fact that Wendenbart's high-ranking figures had an abnormal itinerary in the evening, he had sensed a trace of suspiciousness and ordered Emma to step up monitoring efforts, and had detected that the energy readings of the plasma cannon had risen one minute before the government launched a surprise attack, thus making him one step ahead of schedule. Take measures to avoid catastrophe. If there was any hesitation at that time, I'm afraid it would have been turned into flying ashes at this time.

Facts have proved that no matter how powerful the StarCraft 2 system is, without large units such as Terran battle cruisers and Protoss aircraft carriers, it is difficult for the army alone to resist the reckless and large-scale attack of the government.

How did Roger Fletcher come up with the idea of ​​attacking those unmanned platforms? There is only one reason for this to happen, government forces know of his ability to control remote unmanned platforms.

How is this possible! To know that Emma has the ability to manipulate unmanned orbital facilities, except for Grant, Claire and others, outsiders have no way of knowing.

In the previous counterattack, in order to prevent the government from knowing this ability, he deliberately kept his hand and did not let Emma participate in the battle. What went wrong?

If it is not attacked, those unmanned attack platforms in high-altitude orbits are enough to kill it hundreds of times during the period of time when the space-based plasma cannon is recharged. However, those ships performing patrol missions launched a surprise attack on the unmanned attack platform at the same time. Obviously, this was a premeditated, division of labor, and bold action.

Roger Fletcher was able to plan such a large-scale raid in just one day after he went to Silbero Naval Port? The use of the space navy must require the approval of Major General Electra, and those space-based platforms are all naval facilities, with tens of billions of assets, and then ruin a capital city with a population of tens of millions, as well as Faraday, etc. Human life, Roger? Philett is just a little viscount. Does he have the guts to do it?

Tang Fang thought of a possibility, maybe... Only Lord Lancelot, the manager of the mega star system, has such power, courage, and determination.

As the heir of the Duke of Yadan, he will be in charge of three star systems in the future. He is a leader of the younger generation among the great aristocrats of the empire. Hundreds of billions of assets plus a city of Wendenbadt is really nothing in his eyes.

Money, buildings, satellites, vehicles, ships...these are all external possessions. In the eyes of Tang Fang today, it is really nothing. But those civilians, those who struggled to breathe and fight, even if they were oppressed and humiliated, and those young people with vigorous beating hearts, blood as hot as fire, and the most shining tears, their lives are like this It is worthless? It was so cheap that Lord Lord dropped 600 nuclear bombs after destroying the research institute. Send them to hell to be buried with him?

Tang Fang never thought that his life was so noble, so noble that he needed others to reflect his value by being buried. Millions of lives were lost just like that, and the entire Wendenbat was reduced to ruins after a blinding flash.

In his eyes,

This is undoubtedly a sin, so serious that even if it is hacked into pieces, it is a sin that cannot be reborn forever and cannot be redeemed, such a doomsday disaster. The blood of the dead can turn the Sea of ​​Stynfurth red...

In the eyes of Lord Lancelot, they are just some civilians. A group of domestic animals raised by the government can be sacrificed at any time. The phrase "survival of the fittest" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the ruling class, for hundreds of years after it was released from the mouth of the "great" Darwin. In their eyes, the truly strong will never mourn for the weak. The existence of the superiors is to live for the bottom-level civilians.

Existence is reasonable!

Their kind, their compatriots, had left early in the day, and Wendenbath was nothing more than a slaughterhouse after night fell. A burial place for livestock.

Perhaps, the lord is celebrating at this moment, celebrating the eradication of the bandit leader and ending the future troubles of the empire forever. And Viscount Roger is feeling sorry for his capital. If this place is to restore prosperity, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as policy inclinations.

Few people mourn for the dead, except their loved ones. Of course, officials may show up after the nuclear explosion, put on a show, wipe a few drops of hypocritical tears, symbolically erect one or two heroic models, and then push the responsibility and crimes on the head of the Garcia Rebels.

After all, some low-level officials also died in this shocking nuclear explosion, who would take action against their own people? So, it must have been done by those heinous rebels! Then, at the right time, the government will push the relatives of the deceased who have received brainwashing education onto the TV screen to amplify the hatred and exaggerate the sadness. Then, he, Tang Fang, will become a murderer, a cold-blooded butcher, and even a devil who can stop children from crying at night.

Cries pierced the night sky. Survivors' prayers, I don't know if God heard them...

Tang Fang looked at the shadow that was getting farther and farther behind him, and heaved a long sigh. The research institute is 30 kilometers away from the urban area of ​​Wendenbat. Just like in the previous battle, he has deliberately limited the combat radius of his units so as not to affect civilians .

However, who would have thought that the government would sacrifice these people so mercilessly.

How many families were destroyed in this disaster? How many people died? Who will avenge them? Who will come to their hatred?

The prayers of the living, the laments of the dead, he doesn't know if God heard them, but... he knows all of these.

...

Aros and Howson were leaning side by side on the fence outside a farm. The veteran smoked one cigarette after another, and it hadn't stopped since he landed. The grumpy Boxer fell silent for the first time, staring glazed over the horizon.

The flashes in the sky have stopped, the flames of the city have also been extinguished under the heavy rain, and the entire northern shore of the Stymphas Sea is dead silent, only the howling wind is howling, like the weeping of an innocent soul.

It's not that they haven't experienced wars, and it's not that they haven't participated in fleet confrontations, but that was in space, and the lethality of nuclear bombs was severely weakened. But what happened just now made veterans like them feel chills all over their bodies.

More than 600 nuclear bombs blew up the 100-kilometer area around the institute beyond recognition, and Wendenbat was devastated and reduced to ruins. There is no doubt that this is a massacre, even if it has always been a single tendon and thick line. Hao Sen, who is about to explode, is also full of desolation.

The flying dragon circled above the two of them, from which it could be deduced that Tang Fang's life was not in danger, which made them feel a little relieved.

The two of them sat in silence like this, and about 20 minutes later, a cloud of blue light jumped out from the horizon. Tang Fang, who received the three Valentines, joined forces with them smoothly.

Without any extra words, Tang Fang summoned two vulture chariots, told the two to keep up, and once the gas was fired, they sped eastward quickly.

The two flying dragons opened the way in front of them, and followed the residual psionic energy that escaped during the flight of the king worm all the way eastward. It took about 15 minutes to enter a strong radiation area. As the distance to the target location got closer and closer, the readings of the on-board radioactive material detection device kept rising.

Tang Fang's complexion became more and more ugly. This situation shows one thing. The king worm carrying Claire suffered a nuclear explosion at close range. Although the upper limit of Zerg units in the system space has not decreased, it means that the king worm is still alive, but judging from its inability to respond to its own commands , I'm afraid he was seriously injured.

There is no feeding injection in the king worm's body, and Claire does not have the ability to regenerate at a high speed like Aros and Howson. If exposed to such a strong radiation environment, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

Sigh...

The two flying dragons neighed one after another. Flapping his wings vigorously, he swooped down from a high place and hovered in the cornfield that had been ravaged by the flames and shock waves of the nuclear explosion in the distance.

The original green crops have disappeared at this time, only a scorched wasteland. The raindrops fell on the ground, making the originally dry and cracked ground slippery.

Along the way, the tires of the Hellion chariot were covered with mud. The car windows were blurred by the black rain.

"Found it." Howson's voice came from the front.

The headlights of the vulture chariot illuminated a snow-white area within a hundred meters ahead. Opening the door of the evil train and jumping out of the cockpit, Tang Fang finally saw the scene ahead clearly.

On the ground 100 meters away from the parking lot, Wang Chong's nearly 40-meter-long body lay down in the mud, looking like a hill from a distance. Let the black rain flow vertically and horizontally on its bloody body, motionless, silent, as if dead.

Tang Fang took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and walked quickly towards the king worm that was attacked by the nuclear explosion at close range.

It wasn't until he got closer, with the light of the vulture chariot, that he realized the extent of the king worm's injury.

A complete overlord has a pair of thick lower limbs and many appendages. At this moment, the left lower limb, which was originally as hard as the shell of a battleship, was completely severed, and only one or two of the appendages carrying the functions of perception and communication remained.

The vesicles storing helium also ruptured under the high pressure of the nuclear explosion, and the airtight shell was directly burned through by the powerful thermal radiation, and then was thrown thousands of meters away under the impetus of the shock wave.

Even the tough outer shell can be burned through by heat radiation, not to mention the king worm's head, which is already hideous and terrifying. The head with more than a dozen eyes seems to have been bitten off by something, exposing the scorched brain tissue.

With such a heavy injury, how could the soft internal organs be spared? The abdominal sac is just some flexible connective tissue, which cannot resist the invasion of strong heat at all. Furthermore, the fast neutrons that penetrated the cracks in the airtight shell and escaped into the king worm's body were enough to kill Claire dozens or hundreds of times.

"Claire, Claire..." Tang Fang's heart was sinking, he didn't have time to think about the question "why the king worm has been dead for a long time, but the system stubbornly believes that it is still alive?" Instead, he went crazy Generally, he tore at the flaccid and shriveled abdominal sac of the king worm, looking for the kind girl whose chance of survival was slim.

"Lancelot, Roger? Fellett... If something happens to Claire, even if all the resources are exhausted, I will definitely kill the Megall government and punish your Ferguson family."

Since the king worm had died, the epidermal cells had shriveled and shrunk under the powerful heat radiation, and the flexibility of the muscle tissue had been greatly reduced. Tang Fang did not encounter too many obstacles and opened the abdominal bag used to transport the unit.

The body of the king worm is about 37 meters long, and the shrinkage performance of the abdominal sac is very high, enough to accommodate 2 siege tanks. Even if it is shriveled and shrunk now, the length of the entire abdominal sac is nearly 20 meters long.

With the lighting of the electronic eye of the harsh environment protective clothing turned on, Tang Fang couldn't help being surprised when he saw the scene in front of him. Under the ravages of thermal radiation and fast neutrons, in the withered and cracked abdominal sac, each one is as tall as a person, and eggs made of creepers stand in the center, beating gently like a heart.

"This... this... what is this?" Tang Fang was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the purplish-brown, sticky, greasy, traces of nether energy circulating in the meridians on the surface, his eyes instantly burst into tears clean.

then. He raised his right hand, and the nether energy blade on his wrist was fully charged, and he swiped from top to bottom, only to hear a "squeak", like the sound of a bag breaking, and a large amount of biological fluid dripped out of the crack. Then, a shadow flashed, and Claire, who was drenched all over, slid down from the egg and was hugged by him.

"Claire, Claire..." Perhaps it was caused by the king worm's body fluids. Claire's body temperature was a little low. Tang Fang put his ear closer and felt relieved after hearing the faint heartbeat.

"Claire." He patted her back lightly while calling.

Suddenly, there was only a cough. The girl slowly opened her eyes after coughing up a large pool of king worm body fluid: "Tang...Fang..."

"En." The boulder hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, and Tang Fang heaved a long sigh of relief.

"I... didn't die?" Claire breathed a sigh of relief, and finally recognized the current situation. Recalling the previous experience, she couldn't help but feel a surge of fear in her heart. She couldn't help but hugged Tang Fang's neck tightly, her body trembling slightly. .

"It's okay...it's okay." He patted the girl's back lightly, turned his head and walked outside.

for a soldier. Perhaps it is possible to be fearless on the battlefield, however. When the battle is over, most people will show a weak side, not to mention that Claire is just a woman.

When carrying her out, Tang Fang discovered a strange phenomenon. The upper limit of the unit population of the Zerg base in the system space dropped by a few, officially announcing the death of the king worm. Judging from the injuries suffered by the king worm. It should have died long ago, why didn't it die until now? And what about the creep eggs used to protect Claire? I remember that before I fell into a coma, I gave orders to flying units such as the king worm, flying dragon, and Viking fighters to fly to a safe place. Why did the king worm protect Claire on its own?

You must know that among Zerg units, only elite units like Zagara, Abathur, and Izshah have intelligence. Generally, low-level Zerg only have fighting, survival instincts and simple logic. Will the king worm protect Claire spontaneously? This is really incomprehensible.

"Claire, do you still remember what happened before? What happened to that egg?"

Claire shook her head: "I just remember that the king worm's body shook during the flight, and then it was thrown out, and then lost consciousness."

"It's so strange!" Since Claire passed out and didn't order it herself, who ordered it to do this?

Creep woven eggs are easy to understand. Overlord is a very special unit. In the game, it can secrete a special body fluid to melt its internal organs into creep material, which can be spread on the ground for Zerg units to inhabit, or It is to interfere with the construction of bases by other races.

Creep is a special organic moss that can survive in extremely harsh environments. In an atmosphere-free environment like Namistar, as long as there are biological nutrients, they can grow and spread without fear of radiation or vacuum.

The size of the king worm is nearly 40 meters, which is equivalent to a small frigate. As long as it is not in the center of the explosion of the neutron bomb, it is impossible to completely incinerate it only by the shock wave and thermal radiation at the thousand-degree level. As for Claire in the abdominal sac, under the protection of the creep eggs, she could effectively avoid neutron radiation and thus survived smoothly.

What happened during the period when he and Claire were unconscious at the same time? The king worm's brain was damaged in the nuclear explosion, so he couldn't give him an answer at all.

Claire's ability to use the harsh environment protective clothing suit is already surprising enough, but now such an unbelievable thing happened again, what happened to her?

Frowning and thinking, the two had already walked to the entrance. Seeing the girl suppressing the lingering fear, Tang Fang immediately took out a set of harsh environment protective clothing: "The concentration of residual neutrons outside is very high, put it on before going out."

Claire nodded, and after spending a few minutes getting dressed, she walked out with Tang Fang.

Outside, Aros, Tang Lin and the others were waiting anxiously, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two walking out one after the other. It doesn't matter what happened to the abdominal sac of the king worm, as long as Claire is still alive, it is something worth celebrating.

Tang Yun got down from the fiery chariot, hugged Claire and cried loudly: "Sister Anne...Sister Anne and the others...and Field, he...he only woke up less than a month ago, didn't he still say he would Go to their wedding together? Why, why?"

Claire patted her on the back lightly, her eyes turned red.

Annie, Field, bear kid Kevin, bad tempered old Hal, Gao Jianzhang... What's wrong with them? And those citizens of Wendenbath. Claire thought of her hometown, Sosia, a planet that was originally full of vitality but became a burial ground for billions of people overnight.

Because of Butterfly's and Kirkcraft's struggle for the throne, 70% of the planet's population has become a sad political victim. How many families were broken up, how many people were displaced, her parents, grandparents, everything she cherished, all followed the flashes of light, and the flames annihilated and perished.

She knew better than people like Tang Fang, Tang Yun, Aros, and Howson, the sadness, loneliness and helplessness of a broken family after the disaster. Just to snipe them, to wipe out people like themselves, the Recto government did not hesitate to erase Wendenbat from the map. How many children are reduced to young bones beeping in the flames, how many old people are crying to the sky, how many mothers are speechless looking at the ruins. Those executioners, did they think about what they were doing before they pressed the missile's launch button? If there were their wives and children, their parents, would they... be able to do it?

What is the use of such a government, such a lord, such a country?

Claire's five fingers squeezed tighter and tighter, and finally she couldn't help but shed tears. For a long time, all she thought about was how to overthrow the tyranny of the Stewart family, how to liberate Monya, and give hope and freedom to the people, so that Jiuquan The next relatives and friends rest in peace. However, for so many years, the Garcia Rebel Army sacrificed many generals and soldiers, but what did they get in exchange?

Nothing, the dignitaries of the empire, the upper class are like a roaring train, never slowing down, never understanding mercy, and all those who stand in their way will be ruthlessly crushed.

The emergence of the Garcia Rebel Army did not restrain the nobles, nor awakened the high-level government. They would never be responsible for the common people, because the people who gave them power and wealth were not the bottom-level people with nothing, but the rulers above. In their eyes, civilians are not even as good as playthings. They are just a group of domestic animals that can be sacrificed for profit at any time.

Through the sensor system connection between Emma and the Vulture Chariot and the Hellfire Chariot, Tang Fang saw a lot, Roy roared like a beast, Bai Hao shot at the sky like venting, and used both hands to shoot one after another. Young corpses were dug out of the rubble, and Grant, who gently closed their glowing eyes...

"Lancelot, I will make your life worse than death..."

The sky was still dark and dull, and the sea breeze brought a salty smell, as thick as blood.
