Chapter 315: Disaster (Finale)
If it weren't for the fact that he learned of the unusual itinerary of the high-ranking people in Wendenbart in the evening, he noticed a hint of suspicion, and ordered Emma to increase the monitoring and detect the high energy reading of the plasma cannon a minute before the government launched the raid, so as to take a step ahead of the situation and avoid the catastrophe...... At that time, if there was even the slightest hesitation, I was afraid that it would have turned into ashes at this time.
Facts have proved that no matter how strong the Interstellar 2 system is, without large units such as the Terran War Cruiser and the Protoss aircraft carrier, it is difficult for the army alone to resist such a reckless large-scale attack by the government.
Roger? How did Philit come up with the idea of attacking those unmanned platforms? There is only one reason for this, the government army knows that it can control the ability of long-range unmanned platforms.
How is this possible! You must know that Emma's ability to manipulate unmanned orbital facilities is not known to outsiders except for Grant, Claire and others.
In the previous counterattack, in order to prevent the government from learning about this ability, he also deliberately kept his hand and did not let Emma participate in the war. What went wrong?
If it hadn't been attacked, the unmanned attack platforms in the high-altitude orbit would have been enough to kill it hundreds of times while the space-based plasma cannon was charged. However, the fact that the ships on patrol launched a surprise attack on the unmanned attack platform at the same time was a premeditated, divided, and courageous operation.
Roger? Filette was only one day away from the Silbero military port, and she was able to plan such a large-scale raid? The use of the Space Navy requires the approval of Rear Admiral Illiktra, as well as those space-based platforms, but they are all naval facilities, and they will bury a capital city with a population of tens of millions, as well as the lives of Faraday and others, Roger? Philip was just a small viscount. Does he have the courage to do it?
Tang Fang thought of a possibility, perhaps...... Only the manager of the Megal star system, Lord Lancelot, has such power, such courage, and such determination.
As the heir of Duke Yadan, he will be in charge of the 3 star systems in the future, and he is the leader of the younger generation among the great nobles of the empire. Hundreds of billions of assets plus a city of Wendenbat are indeed nothing in his eyes.
Money, buildings, satellites, vehicles, ships, ...... These are things that are outside of the body. In the eyes of today's Tang Fang, it is indeed nothing. But those civilians, those who struggle to breathe, those who struggle, who want to live desperately even if they are oppressed and humiliated, those young people who have a vigorous beating heart, a fiery blood, and the most shining tears, their lives are so worthless? So cheap that Lord dropped 600 nuclear bombs after destroying the research institute. Send them to hell for their own burial?
Tang Fang never thought that his life was noble, so noble that he needed others to reflect his value in the way of martyrdom. Millions of lives were lost, and the whole of Wendenbart was reduced to rubble after a blinding flash.
In his eyes, this is undoubtedly a sin, so deep that even if it is cut by a thousand cuts, it will be difficult to atone for eternity, such an apocalyptic disaster. The blood shed by the dead can stain the Stinfax Sea red......
And in Lord Lancelot's eyes, they were just some commoners. A group of government-raised livestock can be sacrificed at any time. The phrase survival of the fittest, after being released from the mouth of the "great" Darwin, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the ruling class, after hundreds of years. In their eyes, the truly strong will never mourn for the weak. The existence of the superior is to be born for the common people at the bottom of the fish.
Save zài, that is, reasonable!
Their kind, their brethren, had already departed in the daytime, and at night, Vendenbart was nothing more than a slaughterhouse. It is a place where the bones of the livestock are buried.
Perhaps, Lord Lord is celebrating at this moment, celebrating the extermination of the bandit leader and the eternal danger of the empire. Viscount Roger, on the other hand, is distressed about his capital, and if this place is restored to prosperity, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent, as well as the tilt of the policy.
Hardly anyone mourns for the people who have died, except for their loved ones. Of course, the officials may come out after the nuclear explosion, put on a show, wipe a few hypocritical tears, symbolically erect a heroic model or two, and then put the blame and the guilt on the head of the Garcia rebels.
After all, some grassroots officials also died in this shocking nuclear explosion, who will do it to their own people? So, it must have been done by the heinous rebels! Then, at the right time, the government will push the brainwashed relatives of the deceased onto the TV screen, amplifying hatred and exaggerating grief. Then, he Tang Fang will become a murderer, a cold-blooded butcher, and even a devil who can stop children from crying at night.
Crying pierced the night sky. I wonder if God hears the prayers of the survivors......
Tang Fang looked at the shadow that was getting farther and farther behind him, and let out a long sigh, the research institute was 30 kilometers away from the city of Wendenbat, just like in the previous battle, he had deliberately tightened the combat radius of his subordinate units so as not to affect civilians.
However, who would have thought that the government would sacrifice these people without mercy.
How many families were ruined in this disaster? How many people have died? Who will avenge their vengeance? Who does their hatred come to the snow?
The prayers of the living, the lamentations of the dead, God does not hear him does not know, but ...... He knew all of that.
……
Aros and Hausen were leaning side by side on the guardrail outside a farm, the veteran's smoke after cigarette that had not stopped since they landed. For the first time, the grumpy boxer was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the horizon.
The lights of the sky had ceased, the city's flames had been extinguished by the torrential rain, and the entire northern shore of the Stinfax Sea was dead silent, except for the howling of the wind, like the sobbing of unjust souls.
It's not that they haven't experienced wars, it's not that they haven't participated in fleet battles, but it's in space, and the lethality of nuclear bombs is weakened by Yanzhòng. But the scene that just happened made veterans like them feel chills all over their bodies.
More than 600 nuclear bombs bombed the 100-kilometer area around the institute beyond recognition, and Wendenbart was even more devastated and reduced to a ruin. Haosen, who wants to destroy the table, is also full of desolation.
The flying dragon hovered above the two of them, and it could be deduced that Tang Fang's life was not in danger, which made them feel a little relieved.
The two of them sat silently, and after about 20 minutes, a cloud of blue light jumped out on the other side of the horizon. Tang Fang, who received the three of Valentine, joined them along with them.
Without any extra words, Tang summoned 2 vulture chariots, told the two to follow, and as soon as they stepped on the accelerator, they quickly sped east.
The two flying dragons opened their way in front of them, following the residual ghostly energy that escaped during the flight of the king insect all the way to the east, and after about 15 minutes, they entered a strong radiation area. As we get closer to the target, the readings of the vehicle-mounted radioactive material detection device climb.
Tang Fang's face became more and more ugly. This situation shows one thing, the king worm carrying Claire was hit by a nuclear explosion at close range, although the upper limit of the Zerg unit in the system space has not been reduced, indicating that the king worm is still alive, but judging from its inability to respond to its own commands, I am afraid that it has been extremely harmed.
There is no feeding injection in the body of the king worm, and Claire does not have the ability to regenerate at high speed like Aros and Hausen. If you are exposed to such strong radiation, there is absolutely no chance of survival.
Wow......
The two wyverns hissed one after the other. Flapping his wings vigorously, he swooped down from a high place, hovering in the distance in a cornfield ravaged by the flames and shockwaves of the nuclear explosion.
The original green crops have disappeared by this time, and there is only a charred wasteland. Raindrops fell on the ground, pouring the otherwise dry and cracked ground into a slippery patch.
Along the way, the tires of the chariot of fire were covered in mud. The windows were blurred in the black rain.
"Found it." Hausen's voice came from the front.
The headlights of the vulture chariot illuminated a snow-white 100 meters ahead. Opening the door of the evil train and jumping out of the cockpit, Tang Fang finally saw the scene ahead.
On the ground 100 meters away from the parking place, the nearly 40-meter-long body of the king insect lies downside in the mud, looking like a hill from a distance. Let the black rain hit its bloody body and flow vertically and horizontally, silent, silent, as if dead.
Tang Fang took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and walked quickly towards the king worm that had been attacked by a nuclear explosion at close range.
It wasn't until he got closer, by the light of the vulture's chariot, that he realized the severity of the king's wounds.
The intact king worm has a pair of stout lower limbs, many appendages. At this moment, the left lower limb that was originally as hard as the shell of a battleship was severed, and only one or two appendages that carried the functions of perception and communication were left.
The vesicles that store helium also burst under the high pressure of a nuclear explosion, and the sealed shell is burned through directly by powerful thermal radiation, and then thrown thousands of meters under the impetus of the shock wave.
Even the tough shell can be burned through by heat radiation, not to mention the head of the king insect, which is already hideous and terrifying, and the head with more than a dozen eyes is like being bitten off by something, revealing the scorched brain tissue.
With such a heavy injury, how could the soft internal organs be spared? The abdominal pouch is nothing more than a few flexible connective tissues that are simply unable to resist the invasion of intense heat. Moreover, the fast neutrons that penetrate the cracks in the sealed shell and escape into the body of the king worm are enough to kill Claire dozens or hundreds of times.
"Claire, Claire......" Tang Fang's heart was sinking, and he didn't have time to think, "Why has the king worm been dead for a long time, but the system stubbornly believes that it is still alive?" This question, but like crazy, he tore the flabby and shriveled abdominal sac of the king worm, looking for the kind girl who had little chance of surviving.
"Lancelot, Roger? Filit ...... If anything happens to Claire, even if all resources are exhausted, I will definitely bloodied the Megar government and punish you with the Ferguson family. ”
Since the king worm had died, the epidermal cells had dried up and shriveled under the strong heat radiation, and the flexibility of the muscle tissue had been greatly reduced.
The body length of the king worm is about 37 meters, and the contraction performance of the abdominal sac is very high, which is enough to accommodate 2 siege tanks, even if it is shriveled and atrophied now, the length of the entire abdominal sac is nearly 20 meters long.
As the light of the electronic eye of the harsh environment protective suit was turned on, Tang Fang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the scene in front of him. Inside the wilted and cracked abdominal sac, which was more than a person's height under the ravages of heat radiation and fast neutrons, eggs made of a bacterial blanket stood in the center and beat gently like a heart.
"This ...... This...... What is it? Tang Fang was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw a trace of ghostly energy flowing through the meridians on the surface of purple-brown, slimy, slippery, and greasy, his eyes instantly burst into a ball of essence.
Then. He raised his right hand, and the ghost blade on his wrist lit up, slashing from top to bottom, only to hear a "squeak", like the sound of a capsule cracking, and a large amount of biological fluids flowed out of the crack. Then, with a flicker, Claire, drenched in her arms, slipped out of her eggs and was held in his arms.
"Claire, Claire......" may be caused by the body fluids of the king worm, Claire's body temperature is a little low, Tang Fang put his ears closer, and only after hearing the faint heartbeat did he put his heart down.
"Claire." Gently patted her on the back as he called.
Suddenly, I heard a cough. The girl slowly opened her eyes after coughing up a large pool of king insect body fluids: "Tang ...... Fang ......"
"Hmm." The boulder hanging in his heart finally landed, and Tang Fang breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I ...... Not dead? Claire breathed a sigh of relief, finally recognized the current situation, recalled the previous experience, and couldn't help but feel a little scared in her heart, and couldn't help but hug Tang Fang's neck, her body trembling slightly.
"It's all right...... It's okay. He patted the girl on the back and turned to walk outside.
For a soldier. Perhaps on the battlefield it is possible to be brave and fearless, however. When the battle is over, most people will show their weak side, not to mention that Claire is just a woman.
When he walked out with her in his arms, Tang Fang found a strange phenomenon, the unit limit of the Zerg base in the system space dropped by a few people, and the death of the king worm was officially announced. Judging by the injuries caused by the king worm. It should have died a long time ago, why didn't it die until then? And what about the blanket eggs that protect Claire? I remember that before I fell unconscious, the order I gave to the flying units such as the king worm, the flying dragon, and the Viking fighter was to fly to a safe place, why did the king worm protect Claire on its own?
You must know that in the Zerg units, only elite-level units like Zagara, Abasser, and Izsha have intelligence, and generally low-level Zerg only have combat, survival instincts and simple logic. Will the king worm spontaneously protect Claire? It's really hard to understand.
"Claire, remember what happened? What's the deal with that egg? ”
Claire shook her head: "I just remember that the king worm shook its body during the flight, and then it was thrown out, and then it lost consciousness. ”
"It's weird!" Since Claire fainted and didn't give the order herself, who ordered it to do this?
The eggs woven by the fungus blanket are easy to understand, and the king worm is a very special unit, in the game, it can secrete a special bodily fluid to melt its internal organs into a fungus blanket substance, so as to spread it on the ground for the Zerg unit to inhabit, or interfere with the construction of bases by other races.
The mushroom blanket is a special organic insect moss that can survive in extremely harsh environments. Just like the Nami star, as long as there are biological nutrients, they can grow and spread, without fear of radiation and vacuum.
The size of the king insect is nearly 40 meters, which is equivalent to a small frigate, and as long as it is not in the center of the explosion of a neutron bomb, it is impossible to completely incinerate it by relying on shock waves and heat radiation of 1,000 degrees Celsius alone. Claire, who is in the abdominal sac, can effectively avoid neutron radiation under the protection of the fungus blanket eggs, so that she can survive smoothly.
What happened during the time she was unconscious with Claire? The king worm's brain was destroyed in the nuclear explosion, and it didn't give him an answer at all.
Claire's ability to use a harsh environment protective suit is surprising enough, but at this time, such an unbelievable thing has happened, what is wrong with her?
Frowning and thinking, the two of them had already walked to the entrance, and seeing that the girl was depressed, Tang Fang immediately took out a set of harsh environment protective clothing: "The concentration of residual neutrons outside is very high, wear it and go out." ”
Claire nodded, and after spending a few minutes getting dressed, she walked out with Tang Fang.
Outside, Aros, Tang Lin and the others were waiting anxiously, and they were finally relieved to see the two of them walking out one after the other. It didn't matter what happened to the kingworm's belly, as long as Claire was alive, it was something to celebrate.
Tang Yun got down from the chariot of evil fire, hugged Claire and cried: "Sister Annie...... Sister Anne and them...... And Field, he ...... He's only been waking up for less than a month, and didn't he still say that he was going to their wedding together? Why, why? ”
Claire patted her on the back, her eyes reddening.
Annie, Field, Kevin the Bear, Old Hal, Gao Jianzhang...... What's wrong with these people? And those citizens of Wendenbart. Claire thought of her hometown, Sosya, a planet that had once been thriving, but had been reduced to the burial ground of billions of people overnight.
Because of Butterfield's struggle with Kirclove's throne, 70% of the entire planet has fallen victim to the sad government. How many families have been broken up, how many people have been displaced, her parents, grandparents, and everything she cherishes, all of them have been extinguished and died with the flames of that flash.
She knows better than Tang Fang, Tang Yun, Aros, and Haosen the sadness, loneliness and helplessness of the broken family after the disaster. Just to snipe them, just to catch all of them, the Rector government did not hesitate to erase Wendenbart from the map. How many children are reduced to young bones that beep in the flames, how many old people are crying to the sky, how many mothers are speechless looking at the ruins. Those executioners, before pressing the launch button of the missile, did they think about what they were doing? If there are their wives and children, their parents, they ...... Can you do it?
What is the use of such a government, such a lord, such a country?
Claire's five fingers were pinched tighter and tighter, and tears finally couldn't help falling, for a long time, she was thinking about how to overthrow the tyranny of the Stewart family, how to liberate Monya, and return the people to hope and freedom, so that relatives and friends under the Nine Springs could be blinded. However, over the years, the Garcia rebels have sacrificed many generals and soldiers, but in exchange for what?
There is nothing, the dignitaries of the empire, the upper class is like a roaring train, never slowing down, never knowing mercy, and all those who stand in their way will be ruthlessly crushed.
The appearance of the Garcia rebels did not restrain the aristocracy, did not wake up the top of the government, and they were never responsible for the common people, because the people who gave them power and wealth were not the people who had nothing at the bottom, but the rulers from above. Civilians, in their eyes, are not even as good as playthings, but a herd of domestic animals that can be sacrificed at any time for the sake of profit.
Through Emma's connection with the sensing systems of the Vulture Chariot and the Vicious Fire Chariot, Tang Fang saw a lot, Roy roaring like a beast, Bai Hao shooting at the sky like a vent, and Grant who dug up a young corpse from the rubble with both hands and gently closed their angry eyes......
"Lancelot, I'll make your life worse than death......"
The sky was still dark, and the sea breeze sent a salty and bloody one.
