Chapter 11: The Fall of the Tyranid Federation (2)
Mike looked back at the road he had come from, and saw that in the opposite direction of their journey, there were buildings that were unique to the Zeg people. "They're building positions, expanding their results and scale, they don't seem to have captured a place, they're going to grow bigger and bigger, damn it, how can we eliminate them, the Federation is in trouble!" In an attempt to ease the tense and dreary atmosphere, Mike tried to divert his attention, but he seemed to have made it worse.
"Don't think about them, it will only make you more and more afraid"
Kerrigan fiddled with the improvised communication device on her arm, and it looked like she might need to contact Monsk.
"What are you doing," Mike asked knowingly
Kerrigan looked at him and didn't speak, but his eyes betrayed her thoughts, you are so hypocritical. Well, Mike can see it.
"You said you knew about the disappearance of the ghost agents, so what happened to them, you know" Mike still tried, "The vast majority of ghost agents avoid contact with each other, and I haven't even been in contact with his agents since Duke joined, and it's enough to hear everyone's superficial thoughts all day long, and to read the mind of another ghost agent, I'll wonder if I'm still myself." Kerrigan pursed his lips, "Ordinary people's thoughts are disorganized, but once the thoughts of ghost agents are in contact, they can form a circuit, and it is very easy to read, so in order to protect and suppress the ability of these agents, the Federation forced us to bring a psionic energy suppressor, also known as an equal particle suppressor." Most agents would be more normal because of this, otherwise they would have gone crazy, like the one who had Tosh and his men."
"Excuse me?"
"Well, an organization similar to a ghost agent, a madman"
"But I don't think you've ever used it."
"I use it less, and besides, Arcturus rescued me from the situation of equal particle suppression, imprisonment, and being killed at any time, and my life was given by him."
"However, you have been doing all kinds of things for him, and it is enough to repay it."
"No, I owe him" she remembered something, and she kept feeling guilty.
After a while, Mengsk's voice came, "Sarah, I'm glad to see that you are still alive, the road ahead is clear, we have already destroyed the military strength of the Federation, you need to travel another kilometer or so to the north to reach the designated position." And then, start that device, and ... ”
"And then they're all going to die! Akturos, the Zeg will not leave their mouths alive... "Kerrigan
"Kerrigan! The launcher thing was not invented by us, we don't use it, we all have to die, then the hope of humanity is really over" Mengsk's tone was stern, "Remember, how much I trust you, don't let me down"
"Understood, sir," Kerrigan replied
At the end of the call, the scene was a little awkward.
"I think the Federation is taking these steps precisely because they are afraid of you agents, what you are capable of," Mike continued to change the subject
"Probably, both to protect us and to fear us. Those who were brainwashed and thrown into the Marine Corps were better off than we were. Kerry said hatefully, "Our ability leads us to easily see through people's thoughts, we desperately restrain ourselves, can you imagine a set of people in front of you and behind you, there is nothing to hide in front of you, do you still want to accompany him to act?"
"Oh, that's really... But don't look at me like that, I don't," Mike explained quickly
"Of course, that's why I like you. You have always been the same on the outside, impulsive like a fool, but that Renault, although he is concerned and cooperative in front of him, is deeply jealous and disgusted with me inside, and I can feel it. ”
"This..." Mike was a little speechless
They continued on their way, and after crossing a hill, their destination was close at hand
"Do you know the ghost agent's graduation exam?" Kerrigan said suddenly, not waiting for the other to answer, "They let a soldier hold a gun to your forehead or a loved one, and you must kill them the moment he pulls the trigger, or else... I was 12 years old."
Mike imagined the scene, irrepressibly thinking of Reynolds' son
Carrigan had been hit hard, and she finally understood what was going on, "I should have thought of it"
"You communicate with him a lot, why didn't you read his mind"
"We don't read a person's mind deeply, did he say when this happened" Mike didn't answer, and turned and walked over
Soon, they reached their destination
Kerrigan went into action, "Load these things up and put them under the Union batteries over there."
With Mike's help, it didn't take long for it to be installed, "Next, I need to add my brainwaves to this device, as a power, they will increase the range and intensity of the light waves of equal particles, so, that's why I have to be here" She tinkered for a moment, then got up.
"Done?"
"Yes, or else, what do you think will be a large device? Don't be funny, okay, let's get out of here."
Mike noticed that as the light waves of the equal particles intensified, Kerrigan's face became more and more pale, and even his body trembled from time to time, and he quickly dragged her to run.
However, Kerrigan was a good agent, and her abilities were unquestionable, and by the time they were out of range of several batteries, she looked like she was back to normal.
Kerrigan activates the contact device, "We've finished activating, Actulus"
"Very well, Sarah, I'll send a transport ship to pick you up before the Zeg arrives in droves, take care to take shelter"
"Arcturus, that's it, please promise me..." Kerrigan looked a little vulnerable, after all, it was the first time she had destroyed so many people, and she had long ignored life and death, and she was also almost collapsed by the heavy moral and emotional pressure.
"Sarah... What Monsk was saying, Mike wasn't interested in hearing anymore, but it was certainly his semblance of words.
"Why do you believe in him and obey him? Just because he saved you? What you've done over the years is enough to pay it back, right? ”
"He saved my soul," Kerrigan just repeated
"Have you read it?"
"Of course, but his thoughts are very hidden, and the ideas he tells you are very close to what he thinks, and he himself believes in them."
"He is a politician, but also a person, as long as he is an individual, their soul and heart have a bottom line"
"Even if I did, what could I change?"
"At least, it won't be like Renault." He paused, believing that Kerrigan had read his thoughts.
"Yes, I think, I see"
