Harmonic Battleship Hyperion

All the passengers on this ship couldn't see their faces clearly!

A creepy feeling surged into Fu Hua's heart, causing her to take a step back subconsciously.

"Don't worry, my dear, even if we are targeted by pirates, we have nothing to snatch..."

This time it was a man who spoke. He patted the woman on the shoulder and said in a pretended relaxed tone: "Don't worry, as long as we can last until Tarsonis, we will get the money immediately."

"But...but..."

"It's good for him too, dear..."

The man suddenly lowered his voice, "After all, he's not a normal child. It's better to go to that academy than live such a hard life with us. Besides, he's already eight years old, so it's time to do something for his parents."

Fu Hua's eyes froze slightly... Although she had roughly confirmed the identities of these two people, she couldn't believe that they would say such words.

Moreover, Xiao Linyuan, who was wrapped in a thin quilt, did not look like an eight-year-old, his too thin body made him look more like a five-year-old...

But her anger and worry mean nothing, because in this memory, she is just a spectator.

At this moment, the spaceship suddenly trembled violently, causing many people to fall to the ground unexpectedly. However, the two suspected Lin Yuan's parents had no intention of helping their children at all, and just let him ruthlessly beat them to the ground. Hit the cold metal wall.

Soon, there were several gunshots from the upper floor, and then the cabin door was kicked open.

"Oh, damn it... This is a place for those smuggled bastards, let's go back up."

"Be patient, my friend, even a pirate must pay attention to accumulation."

These two sentences have already indicated the identity of the comer: the pirates of the Koprulu sector.

Although one of them said to be patient, their efficiency in grabbing things was not slow at all, and they were very methodical, just like the old saying: mosquito legs are also meat.

Fu Hua couldn't help but clenched his fists, because the two people who turned around quickly stood in front of Xiao Linyuan.

"What is this? A child who was left here?"

"Ah... no, sir, that's... my child."

The man who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb finally stood up tremblingly, but Fu Hua knew that what he was really worried about should be the money mentioned just now.

I plan to exchange the money from Xiao Lin Yuan...

"Interesting, the fathers I've met at work will hold their children tightly in their arms, not like you... Does he have some infectious disease?"

Perhaps the robbery process was too easy, but the pirate actually chatted leisurely with the man.

But in terms of clichés, the poor civilians from the fringe galaxies are obviously no match for the cunning pirates, so they quickly told the truth tremblingly under threat: this couple, who were already struggling to survive, decided to pick them up sold their children to the Academy of Ghosts in Tarsonis...

Fu Hua didn't know why she saw these things, but she knew that she couldn't stand it anymore.

Regardless of the man's begging, the excited pirate kicked him and grabbed Xiao Linyuan two steps forward... To him, this was not a person, but something that the Tyrann Federation was very happy to buy. expensive goods.

However, at this moment, Xiao Linyuan opened his eyes that had been closed tightly.

Nothing can be seen in these eyes, except for the bright light of spiritual energy... and the last scene Fu Hua saw was that everyone, including the pirates, had their heads burst open like smashed watermelons Come……

Chapter 176

Chapter 176

"Love sauce."

"What's the matter, Lin Yuan?"

"After you go back, you must explain clearly to the boss that this transport plane was not caused by my operation error..."

"If it can be done, of course people will do it!"

Ai Jiang suddenly flew in front of Lin Yuan, her small face was full of apology, but if you look carefully, you can find that there seems to be some kind of schadenfreude hidden in it, "But Lin Yuan is confused, Mr. Renault can't see Come on, I can’t hear Ai Jiang Da!”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's figure paused slightly, and the feeling of depression exuded was even more eye-catching.

Ten minutes ago, the transport plane with a malfunctioning operating system "force-landed" on the Brown Rock Heights without any surprise... Although Lin Yuan used his spiritual energy to relieve the potential energy of the fall in time, what is certain is that it is no longer possible Fly again.

It is unrealistic to expect Swann and the others to take it back. After all, this place is very close to the largest worm nest on Meinhof. Even if they do this, they have to wait until the battle is completely over.

Waiting in place is no different from waiting to die. The movement caused by the transport plane will soon attract the zerg, and Lin Yuan doesn't think he is strong enough to single out the entire worm nest, unless it is like in Tarsonis As above, resign yourself to fate after using the "ultimate move".

The tracker signals sent to the flying infected bodies before have all disappeared. Presumably, they have either drilled into the ground or returned to some kind of airtight environment. The first place Lin Yuan is going to investigate is in the insect nest the rear.

In other words, he had to walk through areas where a swarm of zerg could emerge at any time.

Even the best agents of the empire dare not say that they can do this kind of thing smoothly, but for Lin Yuan, the transport plane that was just scrapped made him feel even more distressed...

"Alright, alright, Lin Yuan, cheer up, Uncle Renault won't punish you for this kind of thing."

"He doesn't need to be punished, he just needs to add another half year's share of my debt and it's over."

"Ah this..."

Ai-chan laughed embarrassedly, and was about to apologize again, but was suddenly grabbed by Lin Yuan and pressed him to the shoulder... At the same time, he himself immediately activated the invisibility system of the combat uniform, and dodged to the side In a depression.

"It's Zerg..."

Lin Yuan slowly raised his hand and pulled down his helmet visor.

Brown Rock Heights is not a place suitable for sneaking. The vegetation coverage here is extremely low, and the only few low shrubs are difficult to hide the figure, and it is not even as good as the wind-cracked ground on the rocky ground. gap.

This highland can generally be regarded as the area with the richest mineral resources in the entire Meinhof, and there are many crystal ore processing factories... Before the outbreak of the infection, thousands of tons of ore were transported to these factories every day, It is purified and melted by large-scale equipment, and then uniformly molded into a shape suitable for transportation.

The main building complex of the Zerg Nest is in the center of the industrial area, because it used to be a barter place for various mining companies, storing an astonishing amount of crystal ore... Although the quality is not very good, it must have quite a lot for the Zerg. Appeal.

The reason why the Zergs collect these minerals is naturally not for trading, but to use them to strengthen their claws and sharp teeth. At the same time, a little energy contained in them can also be used as a "catalyst" and placed in the main hive or evolution chamber to speed up the development of the swarm. Breeding and hatching.

So Lin Yuan knew exactly what he had to face...

A large group of springtails, about [-] in number, were running wildly forward with their hind legs stretched vigorously.

Obviously, their target was the location where the transport plane crashed... But fortunately, Lin Yuan didn't notice the existence of the Euglena.

"Wow, if they are seen, more zerg will appear right away?"

"That's right, so we need to transfer as soon as possible... We will be safe when we get to the industrial zone."

"Eh?"

Ai Jiang's eyes widened in surprise, "Lin Yuan, didn't you just say that the worm's base is there? Could it be... Could it be that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

"This sentence is only true when the IQ gap between the enemy and us is too large."

After staring at the group of springtails and running for a certain distance, Lin Yuan quickly stood up, "A truly safe place will only appear after the enemies are completely wiped out."

The industrial area of ​​Brown Rock Heights is actually a small city... The one-stop industry of mining, processing, trading, and transportation has attracted many civilians to settle here, and it saves them three days to go to cities like Cole City. .

Even in terms of population density, Brown Rock Heights may not be smaller than other cities on Meinhof.

Lin Yuan has no doubt that if it is night now, he will most likely face more than 20, or even [-] infected bodies, not including those special species that have evolved.

"Although the industrial area is occupied by Zerg, the terrain is complex, which is convenient for concealment and observation. Even if you want to fight, you can use it as an obstacle to resist chasing troops."

"Ah... yes! That's right, people think so too!"

"Really? That's fine."

Too lazy to pierce the bullshit of Ai Jiang, after carefully observing the surroundings and the sky, Lin Yuan disarmed the stealth system and opened the map of the main city of Meinhof that Lieutenant Morales had asked for before departure.

This electronic map was released not long before the infection, so there is no need to doubt the accuracy, but I don't know how many buildings marked on it are left.

Naturally, there was no need to look at the barter yard in the middle of the industrial area. The Zerg main nest was there, but Lin Yuan had to choose whether to go around from the left or the right.

"What's the difference?"

"On the left is the main city where the miners lived, and on the right was the camp of the Kelmorian Federation's troops, but they have never experienced battles..."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, and then made a move that stunned Ai-chan.

Turned on the communicator and contacted Qiyana who was supposed to be resting in the base supply depot.

"Hmm... who is it..."

"It's me, Kiyana."

"Lin Yuan? I hate it...he's sleeping soundly..."

"I'm very sorry, but I want you to tell me which is left or right?"

"what……"

"Don't care about the content, choose the left or the right?"

"Then...the left?"

"Very well, continue to rest."

Judging from the duration of the communication, Ai Jiang was extremely suspicious that Qiyana hadn't woken up at all, but Lin Yuan seemed to have got the absolutely correct answer, and quickly walked towards the industrial area where the outline could be vaguely seen.

"Hey! Wait!"

Only then did Ai-chan come to her senses, and hurriedly chased after her, "Isn't it too much fun? Why did Kiyana just say left, so you're going to go there? Wait a minute!"

……

In the Hyperion's ejection hangar, Ranger engineers are doing the final checks for the airborne operation, making sure the marines don't die due to mechanical failure before encountering the zerg.

The same is true for the Tex, the engineers carefully selected by Matt Horner for his own officials may not be very experienced, but they can definitely guarantee to be serious and responsible, and the transport planes used are all equipment that has not been produced for a long time. Theoretically, the security is still very high.

The real trouble lies in the Zerg itself...

"Speed ​​is key."

Renault, who was already fully armed, tapped the mobile tactical panel specially pulled here with the glove of the CMC power armor, "After yesterday's battle, they will definitely strengthen their defenses, and Harm has also detected the blasters active in the atmosphere. .”

"Is it possible they're waiting for us to go down, sir?"

"Yes, but they can't wait... because after we set off, the Hyperion will jump down first, trying to distract the Zerg as much as possible."

Renault's combat plan is not complicated. To put it bluntly, it is simply to attack the east and west, minimize the chance of being intercepted by the mosquitoes when airborne, and then use the ground troops as the decisive battle force.

This is more or less a helpless choice. Rangers are extremely short of effective air-to-air firepower. Basically, they don’t want to do anything except Vikings. The best way to deal with a large number of Scourge is undoubtedly that UED brought them to the Koprulu sector back then. The Valkyrie frigate, or the Liberator developed on their basis.

But it's a pity that Renault's men don't have any at this time... They can only rely on the unique shield and emergency jump of the Hyperion to support the scene, and even the Tex dare not take the risk of doing so.

Stukov sent the Liberator in the battle the day before, but after being assimilated by the Zerg into a new biological weapon, the ferocity of the firepower dropped significantly, and it might not be able to protect the transport plane.

"Sir, what is our mission?"

Sergeant Farrell, who saw Raynor's plan, asked suspiciously, "Assist the Hyperion to eliminate the blasters?"
