Harmonic Battleship Hyperion

Even a big guy like Thor...

Lin Yuan, who had observed the insect nest for an hour, did not find any other hybrids, which made him a little relieved.

In addition, he also thought of a possibility: Could it be a hybrid that secretly guided the evolution of Meinhoff's infected body?

At this moment, Lin Yuan's communication device lit up.

"Boss?"

"Yes, it's me. How is your situation now? Are you still near the worm's nest?"

"Yes."

"...I really don't know if that's good news or bad news."

Lei Nuo's hesitant tone showed that his psychology was very complicated at this time. It seemed that he was worried about Lin Yuan's safety and wanted him to continue scouting the insect nest.

But in the end, he still chose the former, "Listen, kid, you'd better get out of there quickly, it's really too dangerous to have a hybrid here."

"There is no such thing, Boss."

Lin Yuan, who kept lying on the roof for a long time, replied calmly, "The Destroyer's perception ability is far inferior to that of the Dominator, and it won't find me here."

"But what about the eye worms? Every nest will have eye worms."

"I picked the location to monitor dead spots, unless they start patrolling without being attacked."

Lin Yuan, who has studied Zergs for several years, has already figured out the behavior habits of creatures like Euglenas very clearly... They are obedient to the spiritual link, and they will rarely actively search for enemies unless they get the queen or something else. The order of the High Command entity.

And this kind of order often comes after an invisible attack... That is to say, the Zerg seldom carry out the hunting operations that humans have long been accustomed to in advance.

Therefore, as long as Lin Yuan did not take the initiative to attack, those eye worms would most likely stay in a fixed place.

"Huh... I knew I couldn't convince you..."

Renault on the communicator sighed slightly, "But I want to know, is there any way you can...create some disturbance for the worm nest?"

In the past few years, Lin Yuan, who has a strong individual combat ability, sneaked into the enemy's position to make trouble, and then the rangers took advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack. This is the most commonly used tactic, and it is not only for humans, but also for other Bug and protoss enemies sometimes get this trick too.

But Renault knew that that was when there was no hybrid in the opponent's position.

"No problem, what do I need to cooperate with?"

"Stukov's secret weapon...I guess it's some kind of special unit. You have to disrupt the hive's anti-aircraft fire when they drop down."

In terms of power and range, the spore crawlers are definitely far inferior to the missile towers, but the sufficient number and the characteristics of being biological in nature can completely make up for this... They only need to get up from the ground to be able to crawl on the creep move quickly.

And don't forget, there must be a lot of blasters in those hatcheries...

"Got it, I'll find a way."

"Don't be impulsive, kid... If there is danger, I hope you can withdraw and make a long-term plan."

"No, BOSS, the attack of the infected body at night will only become more and more violent. We must destroy the nest as soon as possible and find the commander."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan cut off the communication, and then touched Ai Jiang, who was sleeping soundly on his back shoulder... This little guy is definitely not as patient as him.

"What? This is too much. We are obviously here to track down the flying infected. Besides, Lin Yuan, how can you deal with an entire zerg nest by yourself?"

"Not to deal with, but to create some chaos so that Stukov's secret weapon can come in handy."

While explaining to Ai Jiang, Lin Yuan checked the equipment on his body.

The curved light warblade and the solar tomahawk will naturally not fall. They have replaced firearms and become Lin Yuan's most important weapons, but after all, they are stealth combat, so a disassembled powerful sniper rifle BOSUN FN-92 was also taken away. Mounted on the back of the combat uniform, it only needs to be assembled and used, and this thing will not affect the stealth system.

In addition, he also habitually brought two flash induction mines and miniature cracking explosives, as well as ten shock bombs, to deal with groups of enemies or destroy terrain structures.

With all this, how to cause trouble for zerg and hybrids?

After signaling the angry Aijiang to calm down first, Lin Yuan poked his head out from the roof of the residential building and observed the surrounding streets.

Then, he had an idea...

……

"So that's why you chose the left side? But how did Kiyana know that the sewer system in the industrial area is connected to the channel dug by the Zerg?"

Seeing the surrounding scene that was not very comfortable, Ai Jiang curled her lips, and landed on Lin Yuan's shoulder again.

After coming down from the residential building, Lin Yuan ran straight to a certain location on the opposite side of the street, and opened a certain fence door that had been covered with creeper... It was a discharge from the drainage system of the Brown Rock Heights Industrial Zone The mouth can lead directly to the depths of the ground.

Generally speaking, because of its strong invisibility ability, Ghost Agents rarely choose this "low-end" route, but Lin Yuan doesn't care about these. After all, for him, as long as it is an effective method, it is a good method. On the one hand, "saving face" is purely to make myself feel uncomfortable.

Also, before Gabriel Tosh joined the Rangers, he didn't have an invisibility combat suit available...

Lin Yuan's plan is not complicated: the firepower he carries is very limited, and even if he uses all of it, he probably won't be able to cause too much trouble, so it still depends on the cracking explosives.

This industrial area has been developed on Meinhof for a long time, with all kinds of facilities and systems, including the huge underground structure, so it is only necessary to install cracking explosives at key positions to give the ground Just play a landslide trick on the nests above.

He wasn't worried about not having enough explosives. The zerg were always used to digging tunnels underground so that the tunnel worms could move better, so the structure would definitely not be too stable.

"Kiana? No, she doesn't know."

After finishing speaking, maybe Jian Aijiang didn't understand, Lin Yuan went on to say, "But she doesn't need to know."

The drainage system in the industrial area has also been affected by the creep, and it looks even more terrifying in the dark environment... Ai Jiang, who followed Lin Yuan slowly, hated this damp and rotten environment, and even couldn't help but produce The idea of ​​burning all zerg tissue out.

Naturally, Lin Yuan would not allow her to do such a thing of "striking grass and scaring snakes".

"Then Lin Yuan, why do you think it's right to follow Qiyana's choice?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this, Ai-chan... I may need you to put the cracking explosives in place later."

"Huh? Why Ai-chan?"

"My target is too big, and it is easy to attract the attention of Zerg."

Since Zerg are good at digging, they will definitely not ignore the threat in this area, so they will often send units such as cockroaches to station in the dug underground passages to deal with the enemies who don't open their eyes.

After walking along the underground tunnel of the drainage system for a few minutes, Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly froze... He has already noticed the movement not far ahead, it is very likely that the worker bees of the Zerg are doing something.

Using gestures to signal Ai Jiang to keep quiet, Lin Yuan started to run quietly.

Soon, a cave that was obviously not dug by human miners appeared before him.

The huge oval-shaped cave connects different underground spaces, forming an underground network that can be quickly drilled by tunnel worms... Although there is almost no light here, even without the help of psionic enhancement, the night vision of the combat uniform helmet The function is also enough for Lin Yuan to see clearly what happened on the other side.

Worker bees, a large number of worker bees... These creatures are far more industrious than the SCVs that often go on strike, and they are comparable to the probes that serve the protoss, and they will never develop resistance.

They are busy carrying out the work of transporting a large amount of ore to a deeper place, and then turning back up to repeat the process.

"Lin Yuan, what are they doing?"

"Just like the human mining team, extract pure crystal mines from those ores..."

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and then took out a miniature cracking explosive, "If you want the hive to react, the death of a large number of worker bees should be very useful."

"Wow... Lin Yuan's idea sounds so cruel, but people think that those creatures are working hard..."

"The minerals they collect should be concentrated somewhere. Maybe after the explosives are installed, we can sneak over and have a look."

"Lin Yuan, you are really amazing!"

If it wasn't for avoiding being noticed by Zerg, Ai Jiang might have cheered directly, "Let's go, Lin Yuan,"

The search for the key points of the support structure and the installation of the piercing explosive went smoothly... Although the Zerg deployed a lot of cockroaches and hosts in the dug underground passage, it was obvious that the Euglena could not follow.

Therefore, after activating the stealth system, even if Lin Yuan cannot be said to be "like entering a land without insects", he can still use freedom of movement to describe it.

In addition, I don't know if it was stimulated by the possibility of a large number of crystal mines. Ai Jiang became more active. She regarded herself as Lin Yuan's remote assistant and installed the cracking explosives in places where he could not easily reach.

Presumably, the Zerg would never have imagined that, as masters of "buried" combat, they would encounter a ghost agent who also adopted the same method... If Abathur, who is far away on Star Char, knows about this, Perhaps the first thing to do is to adjust the gene chain, prompting the cockroaches to evolve detection-type species like Euglena.

In this way, when all eight micro-piercing explosives were placed in the key units of the supporting structure, Lin Yuan and Ai Jiang, who had been impatient for a long time, groped and slipped to the place where the worker bees carried the ore.

And what they discovered later was far more unexpected than they expected...

"Good...a lot of crystal shards! But..."

Looking at the ore thrown into the acid pool by the worker bees, Ai Jiang's fiery eyes quickly cooled down.

The reason is simple: she doesn't want to touch the viscous acid that seems to be a secretion... For the zerg who don't use any mechanical equipment, it is the only way to strip the impurities in the ore.

But Lin Yuan's attention was on the pipeline connected to the acid pool, which resembled the intestines and kept moving.

From the perspective of orientation, the pipeline should not lead to the ground, but a lower slope... This is a bit strange. If the Zergs collect these crystals for use by the insect nests above, they are prepared What to do?

Chapter 178

Chapter 178

Theresa, who walked out of the supply station after waking up, soon discovered something was wrong.

Although the members of the Imperial Investigation Team have to maintain a high level of tension at night, most of them will relax during the day when the infected body will never appear, and repair the defense line of the base with a relatively relieved attitude. They even try to go out and carry out the purpose they came here for: to investigate the source of the infection.

However, what Teresa saw now was a base completely shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The few SCVs of the investigation team are running at full power to reinforce the obstacles piled up between the terminals. Sergeant Major Kowalski's siege tanks have also changed positions, getting closer to the transport ship as the command center, and the engineers It is also constantly concentrating defensive weapons such as automatic machine guns, as if to shrink the line of defense.

Wait, shrink the line of defense?

Feeling a little strange, Teresa looked around, but didn't see a familiar figure, so she walked directly to the command center that she had entered several times.

The transport ship of the Imperial Investigation Team is not too big. After all, their purpose is to investigate the infection rather than clear it. The number of personnel is relatively limited, and more than half of them have been killed or injured by the super virus... So after only 2 minutes, Theresa Then came to the combat command room.

Lieutenant Morales and Sergeant Major Kowalski are here, and there is another person who surprised Theresa.

"Mr. Swan?"

"Good afternoon, Teresa...how was your sleep?"

Rory Swan, the chief engineer of the rangers, waved at her, and his frown relaxed a little, but the solemnity and worry in his expression were still very obvious.

With his explanation, Teresa understood what happened.

The zerg on Meinhof are in motion!

A large number of blasters, different dragons, and flying snakes swarmed out of each main nest, and began to "patrol" in the sky in a posture of sealing off the entire planet, obviously to prevent the rangers and Stukov's troops from launching airborne operations .

At the same time, this also means that people who are still on the ground can no longer return to space.

Zergs that lack a high-level command unit will certainly not make such a tactical plan, so the only explanation is that the commander of the infected body issued an order to them... and the purpose of this order should be to hide and protect itself The presence.

Rory Swan didn't want to come up to Meinhof before, after all, this is his sad place, but as the most experienced engineer, his ability is still very good for this crude base that has to rely on obstacles to block the route. It was useful, that's why I came down to assist the investigation team in setting up their defenses.

Who would have thought that after landing, they would not be able to get back up... With a large number of blaster mosquitoes blocking the sky, no matter how good a transport plane pilot is, he is not confident that he will not be able to run into them.
