Chapter 27: The Truth in the Mist (End)
Blacksis, outer space orbit, Alexander
"Admiral, our sensors have detected a functioning psionic jammer located on the surface of the planet directly below us," the Synthetic Adjutant sent the latest message.
"It seems that Lieutenant General Stukov did not destroy the psionic jammer in Tasannis as ordered"
"What? That's impossible! Dugar couldn't believe his ears, but the markings on the probe were so bright that they seemed to pierce his eyes.
"I warned you, Admiral! Stukov has betrayed you! He's modified the Psionic Disruptor in an attempt to sabotage your mission in this sector! โ
"I never believed he would do that, why?"
"Reason? Don't forget, Admiral, what are you here from Earth for? It's a lot of money to come here from so far away, right? Duran was bewitching the other party, "Think about it, he found that as long as he controls the master, then, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants?" โ
"This... It's unbelievable, but the evidence is hard for me to believe", Dugar slammed the console, "Alexey, what the hell have you done?! โ
"Maybe you're right, Lieutenant, I order, find the psionic jammer... And then... The Admiral closed his eyes in pain, "And then... Properly dispose of Lieutenant General Stukov... โ
"Yes, sir!"
Samir Duran walked alone in the ship's passage, he was going to the launch platform to inspect the soldiers who were acting with him, "Hmph, it's so easy to believe, I thought your friendship could pass the test of betrayal, and human emotions are just like that", the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Your Majesty, everything is going well", he reported to Kerigan through the neural network of the worm, "Dugal and Stukov are already in the game, after this time, even if they win the domination, it is not enough"
"Very good, well done, Duran, next, it's up to them to kill each other, of course, if you don't mind, you might as well add another fire"
"You're worried about accidents?"
"Yes, Duran", Kerrigan looked a little worried, "I don't feel very good about the Spirits, I'm always a little uneasy about them, things are going too well, I hope I'm suspicious"
"No, Queen, I feel that your concerns are justified, after all, the Star Spirit is a powerful race, even if it is down now, it is still not to be underestimated, in this case, I will directly participate in this plan according to Dugal's request", he originally planned to act, but through Kerrigan's mouth, everything was in his calculations, this feeling of being a chess game is really addictive.
"Lieutenant, I'm George, the captain of the Biochemical Machine Gunner who cooperated with you this time, it's a pleasure to meet you", this captain looks extremely capable, with brown hair and a very tall look.
"Very well, Captain George, I'm Duran, we're not going to make small talk, I think you already know something about this mission"
"Yes, I will protect and cooperate with you to completely destroy the psionic jammer", it seems that Dugar still has something to hide from him, is this using me as an executioner? Yes, I underestimate you, human, a renegade as an executioner can show your compulsion to the greatest extent, but if you are so clever, you will be counterattacked, Admiral Dugal.
"Hurry up and board the ship, we must hurry", Duran immediately commanded with a straight face
"Understood, sir," everyone checked their equipment one last time, and as the hatch opened, the shuttles left the Alexander, while Admiral Dugal, watching all this from the bridge, had a dazed look in his eyes.
"Lieutenant General, according to the probe, General Dugar has led the ship back to Blacksys", said Lieutenant John, "do we... โ
"It's useless, lieutenant", Stukov was a little distracted, "it's a pity, one wrong step, one wrong step, Gerald this guy is very stubborn, once he recognizes a little, he will not hesitate to do it." Duran had deceived him into trusting, and at this moment, it must be the result of his manipulation."
"What about us?"
"For the sake of now, we can only hold on, and at the same time repel their attacks, and then go straight to a showdown with Gerrard, with our many years of friendship, he will finally see clearly", however, the lieutenant general is not as confident as he appears, and he has already learned Duran's cunning.
With a violent shaking and a slight shock, the shuttle was firmly grounded on the ground, and Duran unfastened the safety device, shook his head that was stuffy from gravity, and walked out of the hatch first. According to the probes on their arms, they were outside the colonizer's base at this time, and the distance was not very far.
"George, take your men, we're leaving", with that, Duran turned and walked out, followed by his own team, which had been following him since Blacksis, only 500 people, but extremely powerful firepower, and equipped with the Empire's latest Marauder armor.
The march was a little dull, especially in this frozen place, the wind was howling, the people were moving forward one foot at a time, and after climbing over a small hill, the outer facilities of the base were already in view, and the detector showed that the psionic jammer was in the building complex in the left front, which was a Federated experimental site, and it was not expected that Stukov had requisitioned it.
"Hey, it's back here again, and you still have to go in, I'm really nostalgic," one of the team members said in the back, and the others didn't say anything, but they all showed their opinion.
"Okay, don't complain, this is a mission, you don't want to face the insects", successfully intimidated the team, a gate successfully blocked their way, Duran signaled to Captain George, it is time to start.
"Lieutenant, please wait, we'll clean up the entrance", George stepped forward consciously, "Quick, set up the bomb"
With a violent explosion, the door was blown open.
"Alert! Alert! Discover unauthorized intrusions! The electronic siren sounded in time to inform the lieutenant general, "John, they are coming, get ready for battle"
"Yes"
"Uhhhh How should we get this thing", Duran and the others were confronted with something similar to a computer after entering the base, "maybe we can find the lieutenant general through it?" When he came, Duran had already told George in detail about the situation behind the mission, although it felt a little incredible, but the long-term style still made him quickly accept the reality.
"Computer, find Lieutenant General Stukov", what a simple and crude style
But he was greeted by a false sound, "Wrong password", followed by the appearance of machine guns on the wall, which made them scramble for a while.
"Uhhhh I hate computers", successfully elicited laughter around them.
"Alright, Mr. Captain, we can't find him by relying on it, let's move on and see if we can catch someone", Duran relieved George in time.
They continued to walk, and soon, they came to a laboratory, where the people were hastily collecting the information, but before they could escape, they were blocked by George, "Say, where is Lieutenant General Stukov?" โ
"I won't tell you, you traitors"
"Traitor? You are the traitors, since you don't say it, then there is no need to live", bang, the world is quiet.
Duran came over to the other experimenter, and smiled a smile that he thought was peaceful, but the other side was trembling with fright, "I guess you don't want to be like that, do you?" Then tell me where he is? โ
"Medium ... Mr. Jiang... At.. In the control room, in the innermost part of the entire experimental center"
"Very well, thank you for your answer", and as he got up, he gave George a look. So, as he walked out of the laboratory, several gunshots rang out inside, and the results were self-evident.
"Go ahead, target control room"
After 1 hour, they arrived at their final destination, and the reason why it took so long was because they encountered stubborn resistance from the troops led by John. However, their resistance against Duran's squadron, equipped with Goliath robots and marauder armor, was of little avail, and in the end, John was killed by Duran, who looked directly at Duran with his round eyes after his death, as if to ask him why he betrayed.
"Stupid guy"
"Lieutenant General Stukov, open the door, I'm here to end your command", the lieutenant knew that the other party was inside.
The door was opened, and it seemed that Lieutenant General Stukov had resigned himself to his fate, "Lieutenant Duran, as I expected, we all know that you came here to end something, so let's do it"
"Good night, Stukov," said Durรกn, a victor's smile on his face
"Hell you", the lieutenant general suddenly escaped from the pistol, aiming at the opponent
There was a bang, but it was Stukov who fell, "Don't think you won, you'll get. Punish.. Penalize.. Mr. Lieutenant General, who came to this star area from the earth thousands of miles away, fell forever, and at the moment of falling into darkness, he thought of his distant hometown
"The mission is accomplished, Lieutenant General Stukov has gone where he needs to go," Duran reported, but it was not a compliment to wait.
"You despicable fellow, you deceived me into trusting you, I actually killed Stukov with my own hands, Captain George, execute this guy on the spot"
"This... Sir", the sudden change made George a little dazed, but Duran didn't have time to panic, he led his descendants to break through the encirclement of George's team, and after leaving more than 100 corpses, he successfully escaped from here.
"Hmph, it was put on the stroke of a worm before it died, but the wisdom of mortals"
In fact, Stukov sent Dugar an encrypted letter at the moment when Duran appeared outside the door, "Gerald, old friend. There's a traitor in your men, but it's not me. Duran, he's been playing us from the beginning. He convinces you to dismantle the psionic jammer. But that's officially the trump card we can use to defeat the insects. And in El ... When we were one step away from the fugitive, he let the worms flood us. I'm here to see the hope of starting to defeat them. And you killed me for this. Hehe.. Duran is your enemy, Gerald. I doubt it... He may have been infected too. Use the jammer, Gerald, to complete our operation and make it worthwhile for me to die at least. โ
"No, Alexey!" Admiral Dugar knocked over the table in front of him in a faux puff, "What have I done?" Yes! โ
