"Warning, the structure of the drop pod is seriously damaged......"

"The flight attitude is deflected, the online recoil engine module is not detected, and the flight attitude adjustment device is missing...... ......"

"Emergency braking program failure ......"

Hollow mechanical synthesizers echo in your ears.

Oryx felt like his whole body was spinning, blood gushing to the soles of his feet and then to the top of his head, spinning the sky.

"Height...... 1158…… ......"

“611…… Please be prepared for the impact......"

“102……”

“5……”

Boom!

A few seconds later, there was a loud bang, and the world shook violently, and Oryx lost consciousness.

……

Oryx woke up slowly, only to feel a mess in his head, pain all over his body, and the smell of blood in his mouth.

"What's wrong with me? I seem to ...... Accepted an interstellar story mission to ...... Going to Charl? Wait, where am I? ”

Memories came to mind, and Oryx suddenly came to his senses, trying to open his heavy eyelids a little......

The red warning lights flicker on and off, casting a crimson over everything in this small space.

From time to time, air currents erupted from the damaged pipes, sparks of electricity sparked everywhere, and a dozen or so Marines wearing red painted Tyranid Empire CMC power suits sat beside him, all motionless, apparently dead from the crash.

"It's ...... Drop pod? How did I end up in this? ”

Oryx was stunned, thinking of the impact just now and the memory in the muddy state, he instantly understood that he was directly stuffed into this drop cabin after accepting the mission. The drop pod was attacked before it could hit the ground, and as a result, it crashed.

What kind of appearance is this?

Feeling the strangeness of his body, he found himself also encased in a suit of power armor. Turning the head, the built-in holographic display on the neck and shoulders displays a variety of data, including the wearer's physical condition.

【CMC-400 Power Combat Suit】

[Blood oxygen content: 91% (Warning: If the wearer is detected to be exposed to an atmospheric environment with slight toxicity, please close the helmet as soon as possible to open the internal circulation)]

[Heart rate: 131 beats/min]

[Physical condition: no obvious damage]

[Operation status of the power combat suit: the energy supply reactor is slightly damaged; The reinforcing agent supply unit is intact; The liquid cooling system is good; Good internal circulation system with constant temperature and closed temperature; the sighting system is severely damaged; The aiming attitude correction system fails (restart failed); The emergency system is in good condition; The haptic feedback control system of the hand armor is intact; The communication system is in good condition; Voice-activated device in good condition ......]

[Remaining number of reinforcing agents: 6]

[Shoulder/chest ammo reserve: 8mm "Spike" round 500 round magazine x10; Fragmentation Grenade x5; Flares x1......】

"Am I taking possession of the body of an Imperial Marine?" Puzzled, Oryx found himself sitting by the broken porthole, and leaned over to take some photos, only to find himself still himself, just stuffed into a powered combat suit.

He thinks it's good, after all, the surface environment of Char Star is harsh, even if the air composition allows people to breathe in a short time, but the scorching air will quickly burn people's respiratory organs, and they still need this set of combat suits to protect them.

However, he had no idea how to operate this complicated thing, and in his frustration, he suddenly thought of the voice-activated device in the facial holographic projection prompt, and ordered, "Turn off the mask." ”

Click, mask closed.

"Turn on the mask."

Click, face open.

"Reload."

A hole was made in the chest of the armor, and a magazine of 8mm spike shells ejected from it.

In the arms of the battleframe, Orix's hands were holding a columnar object about the thickness of a rolling pin, he raised his hands to his eyes, and found that the range of movement of the combat suit's hand armor was the same as his own hands, and fiddled for a while to get used to the operation of the hand armor, and then removed the magazine from the exit of the ammunition storage device on his chest, and stuffed it back in, constantly familiarizing himself with the operation of the armor.

After a few minutes, he felt extremely happy.

It seems that simplicity and ease of use are the most basic requirements at the beginning of the design of the CMC power combat suit, and the inheritance of the voice-activated device has greatly reduced the difficulty of getting started. The number of casualties among Marines in the war is so high that if each recruit spends a lot of time learning the operation of combat armor, it will not be able to quickly enter the battlefield and fill the gaps.

It's a pity that the intelligent system built into the combat uniform is not really intelligent, and it can't be compared with the "adjutant" at all.

After some study, although he is still very rusty, he has been able to play with this large battle armor in general.

So he began to try to open the locking device on his chest, which was to prevent the Marines from being thrown out of the seat safety device during the parachuting, but when it crashed, it was so badly deformed that it could not open on its own.

Buzzing!

The reactor was running at full speed, making a low humming sound, and the heat vents in the back began to become red-hot, and the heat was reflected back by the bulkheads, baking the entire space much warmer.

The pressure relief valve of the hand cooling device continued to spew out air, and finally with a bang, Oryx pushed the locking device open and regained his freedom. He looked down and saw that the Book of Time was bound around his waist by a thick chain.

Oryx moved his body, closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and tried to summon the power of the Light. Sure enough, as he expected, there was no divine origin power in the underworld to respond to him, and it seemed that the power from different worldviews could not be used here.

But even the divine energy in his body was extremely sluggish, as if it didn't exist at all. The Holy Light is his greatest reliance, and once its use is restricted, its strength will be greatly reduced.

He tried to summon [Replica Solarion] again, and received some response, but he could clearly feel that the use of this weapon was also restricted. If it is forcibly summoned, it will cause a serious loss of its power, and it will not take many times to turn into a vain appearance.

"It seems that this weapon can only be used as a means of saving my life, and the Holy Light cannot be used, so I can only rely on the things in this world to survive."

Oryx muttered to himself, quickly accepted the reality, began to check the equipment, searched the body of his good brother for 50 yuan, completely filled the ammunition storage device on his shoulder and chest, and smashed open the weapon rack and took out a C-14 Gauss rifle in his hand, which was slightly relieved.

But just as he was about to leave the drop pod, the book of time on his waist glowed golden, and he clumsily removed it and flipped through it.

——

Oryx was overjoyed, and the secret path was indeed endless.

You can actually exchange the merit points collected by killing insects for a wide variety of weapons and equipment, not only special models of magic modification, but even the power of other worldviews can be exchanged for psionic energy in equal proportions!

That's great! These bonus items will always make your life better.

"Close the mask and open the tactical letter...... Hmm, open the info bar? Doesn't seem right...... Integrate information aggregation into the mask display? ”

He tried a few times, projecting the message onto the mask via voice control. Then he staggered out of the airborne silo and stepped on the surface of the planet.

The purple fungus carpet spread all the way to the end of the field of vision, enveloping everything and wriggling immortal. Even through the power combat armor, you can feel the disgusting and slippery feeling of stepping on it, like stepping on hundreds of worms.

Black clouds could be seen everywhere in the fiery red sky, and if you looked closely, you realized that they were flying insects that covered the sky.

The drop pod rained down, but there was no air force to clear the airspace for the hapless Marines inside to ensure the safety of the landing process. Or rather, the air force has long been wiped out by the insects, and it can't even enter the planet's atmosphere.

Flying insects slaughter the soldiers in the drop pod like hunters waiting for a rabbit. Many drop pods disintegrated in the air, and less than one in ten were able to successfully fall to the ground.

In the distance, a huge fireball fell to the ground, and through the light of the fire caused by the violent friction with the air, it was vaguely visible that it was a badly damaged Minotaur-class battlecruiser inside, with a long black smoke trailing behind it. It's a pity that before this isolated battlecruiser completed its forced landing, it was surrounded by a thousand-fold alien dragon, which disintegrated directly in the air and turned into a large firework that exploded.

Tragic.

It's the only word Aurix can think of.

Char orbits around a binary star system consisting of a white dwarf star and irregular variable stars, and the environment is so harsh that the sunny side of the planet at perihelion will even be reduced to a lava purgatory, but it contains incomparably rich metal deposits. During the time of the Tyranid Federation, humans developed this planet. In a civil war over resources, the two sides recklessly used high-yield nuclear bombs to wash the ground, causing many volcanoes to be awakened and the entire planet to become a nuclear radiation disaster area.

This planet is one of the important places where the StarCraft plot takes place.

Alien insects from the depths of the universe occupied this planet, where the Juggernaut completed the transformation of Kerrigan, and after dying in El, the unscrupulous Kerrigan went through a difficult battle, killed all the brain worms and became the ruler of the Zerg, and defeated the strong enemies who came here to challenge him one after another, and completely gained a firm foothold in Char.

The time node of the quest dungeon where Orix is located is a few years later, that is, at the end of the story of StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty - Renault and Prince Valerian cooperate, and the former's rangers and the latter brought half of the Tyranid Empire fleet to attack the alien lair Char.

Soon, however, the invaders, who were trying to challenge Kerrigan's rule, were met with the wrath of the Queen of Blades in the skies above Char's orbit, destroying a large number of ships. General Warfield commanded his troops to meet the flying troops, and at the same time ordered his men to launch a landing operation.

The result is obvious, it is simply a queue to die. Only Jim Renault, who has the aura of the protagonist, and his rangers descend unscathed......

Oryx, who came here to carry out the time mission, was an unlucky Imperial Marine who "queued up to die" in an airdrop capsule.

He ordered, "Turn on the communication device and turn into ...... Hmm, what is the preset communication frequency? ”

The artificial intelligence system integrated in the combat uniform understood what he meant, immediately turned on the communication device, and connected to the public channel of the Imperial Army unit.

Loud sounds immediately began to bombard Orix's eardrums.

"Help, help! We're crash-landed in the D7781-H0157 area, it's full of bugs, we're going to be flooded! ”

"Damn, did anyone hear that? God, who will save us! ”

"Da Da Da ......"

Some people begged for help, some scolded their mothers, and there were continuous gunshots and terrible screams. In the noisy background, Aurix hears a familiar voice.

"Listen, I'm James Renault, and we've set up a base in the D7781-H0156 area. We have sent the activity of insects in the nearby area to the battlefield information system of all combat suits within the signal range. If there aren't many insects among us, move closer to us, and I've sent someone to meet you!" As for the other brothers...... I can only wish you the best of luck. ”

Oryx glanced at the information panel, and found himself in Area D7788-H0139 - this is the combat area divided by latitude and longitude - and the Ranger base is about twenty kilometers away.

At the same time, the information panel projected onto the mask revealed a large amount of information due to the data received from the Rangers. The field of vision is densely packed with red dots, and there are very few green dots in the red dots. Each red dot is an alien lifeform that has been scanned by the Rangers' radar system, while the green dot is an Imperial Airborne unit that has successfully landed on the surface.

The information system also marked a number of routes to the Ranger base, but on any one of them, there were a large number of insects.

Oryx's heart sank.

I'm afraid I won't be able to do it anytime soon. The most sensible option would be to meet up with the survivors of the other Imperial Airborne Forces nearby.

Looking around, the fungus carpet is endless, and you can vaguely see the figures of some large-sized insects at the end of the field of vision. He knew that he couldn't stay here for long, and the insects would definitely follow the direction in which the drop pod landed, and he had to leave.

With this in mind, he turned back to the airborne compartment, took two more C-14 Gauss rifles and hung them on the mount on his back, and finally checked the ammunition to make sure that he could not carry any more. As a result, as soon as he got out of the cabin, before he could choose the direction he was going, a red light flashed in his mask.

Hundreds of meters away, more than a dozen jumping insects were rushing towards him.
