Chapter 9: New Gettysburg
Before walking out of the bar, Xue Qiong took a flyer from the bar, and then scolded her mother softly when she saw the top line.
It reads, "Welcome to the Ettupi Bar, the craziest life in New Gettysburg, waiting for you." ”
Nima! New Gettyham, New Gettysburg...
Even though the plot world they entered seemed to be replaced by another one, Xue Qiong had still heard the name of this city, because that story was so famous.
At the same time, because of the name of this city, knowing which plot world they entered, as well as the specific entry point of this fuck, Xue Qiong's mood suddenly became worse.
StarCraft...
This is a real-time strategy game released at the end of the last century, and although Xue Qiong has not played it much, he knows a few things about the game. There are three entangled races in the game, namely the humans who immigrated from Earth to the Kpopru Star Zone, and the star spirits who are highly technological, like art, can use psionic energy, and like the golden style the most, and the swarm that devours everything in the early stage of the story, as the catastrophe faced by the other two races.
The origin of the story is the future earth, at that time, the earth was also ruled by a global totalitarian-power-government, but unlike the empire in the Iron Heavenly Palace, this government-power was still dressed in the cloak of the democrat-lord, and due to the higher level of technology, they sent several colony ships controlled by computers to the universe full of frozen criminals, which eventually landed in the Krup star sector and lost the star map where the Earth is located.
Over the next century or so, less than 40,000 immigrants exploded to more than six billion in the new world through the technology left over from the ship's onboard computers, and also opened up a large number of colonized planets, and then... They met two other cosmic races that had lived in this starry sky since ancient times, the Star Spirit and the Zerg.
And the Battle of New Gettysburg...
In the plot of StarCraft Part 1, the rebel army "Son of Koha" inadvertently obtained a large killer made by the Tyranid Federation ---- a ghost energy transmitter from somewhere, this interesting gadget can send a wonderful signal on a cosmic scale, and the most terrifying force in this plot world, the Zerg, can not resist the temptation of this signal at all.
In the original work, under the orders of the leader of the sons of Koha, Arcturus Monsk, the planet where New Gettysburg is located, Star Tathannis, the capital of the Tyranid Federation, was installed with such a device, and then this poor planet was drowned in the sea of worms in a very short time... After the end of this battle, Sarah Kerrigan, the heroine abandoned by the Son of Koha, was discovered by the Zerg Master and later became the famous Empress of the Blades, but apart from her, almost no one on the entire planet survived.
Since she didn't have a targeted understanding of this plot world, Xue Qiong could only think of these things. As for the details of that battle, the game of several forces, and the specific time when the battle took place... He didn't know anything.
So, is the main difficulty in this plot world those bugs? Other words... Face enemies big enough to cover the entire planet, and survive this horrific war, and get fifteen,000 points per person in the process?
Although in the first two plot worlds, Xue Qiong also participated in or provoked wars, but Arad's time was just to brush up points, he directly and irresponsibly got out before his army was destroyed, and the time of the Steel Heavenly Palace was because the weapon technology owned by the V organization was relatively high-end, and it could always break through the heavy firepower defense of the empire and forcibly turn the battle into a battle between small groups of elites, so it was still not a war.
But since the pedestrians in the hurry around are still alive, and they are obviously still living in normal work, and they are not fleeing for their lives, then the battle has not yet begun?
"Senior..."Xiao Yun grabbed Xue Qiong's arm, "Do you know what kind of world this is?" And what do we do now? ”
On the other side of Xue Qiong, although Xue Qiong still remained silent, his inquiring eyes obviously meant the same thing as Xiao Yun.
Xue Qiong spent less than two minutes softly telling all the plots he could think of, then thought about it again, turned one hundred and eighty degrees in place, and walked back to the bar with a bald head and Xiaoyun.
Intelligence, he needs intelligence ... For example, the current time is January 12, 2500, so there is no need to inquire about this, because Xue Qiong found a mobile phone in his clothes, on which the time was clearly written. But he had no idea what this time meant, or what was going on in Tassanis and the entire Tyranid Federation...
Before this, Xue Qiong had noticed that there seemed to be a lot of soldiers in the bar and on the street, that is, the Tyranid Federation was now in a state of war, and I didn't know if the main enemy they were facing now was the swarm, the star spirit, or the son of Koha, who was also a human?
Three hours later, the star around Tasannis had begun to sink in the west, and Xue Qiong and the three of them slowly got some information in the midst of knocking on the side, trying not to be alarming, and then left the bar through the back door unobtrusively.
Although there is not much valuable information, in addition to allowing Xue Qiong to figure out the sequence of several major events in this world, he also has a certain understanding of the current situation.
In November last year, that is, two months ago, the Zerg appeared for the first time in the Federation, but because it was only an inconspicuous emerging colony star Drow-Sara that was attacked at that time, the Federation did not pay enough attention to it, but less than a week after Drow Sala was occupied by the Swarm, the fleet of the Star Spirit directly purified the planet, and completely erased it on the star map along with the bugs on it.
More than 20 days ago, one of the ace space fleets of the Tylen Federation, the Alpha Squadron, was attacked by a swarm, and the flagship Norad II had to land on Antiga, and that planet had just been occupied by the rebel Kohar's son the day before, so the rescued fleet commander, General Edmund Duke, joined the rebels...
More than ten days after that, that is, ten days before now, the angry Federation troops went to Antica to clean up the traitors, but for some reason, on the same day, the murderous swarm of insects pounced on Antica from space, devouring all the Federation troops that landed in Antica in a short time, and the rebels, who seemed to have been prepared, escaped from that planet with ease.
Due to General Duke's defection, the impact on the hemorrhoids is too bad, and at the same time, the addition of a mature general has greatly increased the threat of the rebels of the Son of Koha, and the upper echelons of the Federation have finally realized that the Zerg is not just a savage, bloody and mentally retarded cosmic race, so the Tylen Federation, which has not experienced any major war for more than a hundred years, finally began to cheer up and expand its armament under this stimulus.
However, due to the bloated governance system, the mutual bargaining of several bigwigs, and the lack of attention to the current situation, the Tylen Federation has obviously been slow to react in this crisis state of being suddenly attacked by several forces, and so far they have only nominally turned the reserve force into active duty, and they have not even had time to implement the equipment and specific establishment... In fact, most of the people in military uniforms in the bar were just ordinary people a few days ago, and they were drinking and chatting here, playing cards, and shooting women, waiting for orders from some unknown commander.
After hearing about Antiga, Xue Qiong understood that Mengsk must have used a ghost energy launcher, which is why the bugs appeared there so quickly... And after these ten days, the Star Spirit Fleet, which was basically responsible for wiping the ass at the beginning of the plot, should have "purified" Antica. It's just that these details, unlike the "news" that can be seen on TV, are obviously not accessible from bars.
"I still don't know enough about the plot... Especially what is going to happen in the future. In the dirty alley behind the bar, Xue Qiong rubbed her eyebrows, lowered her head, and said with some anxiety: "And most importantly, we don't know when Mengsk will come, when this planet will become a scorched earth... But anyway, let's find a way to get out of this planet first, and then change to a planet that hasn't fought in a short period of time, and then use those magic arrays to honestly brush up points... Wait a minute! ”
When Xue Qiong said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, and the muscles on his face twitched at the same time.
"Boss?" "Senior?" Both Bald and Xiaoyun were surprised by Xue Qiong's reaction.
"Damn..."Xue Qiong looked at the sky stupidly and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Although Tasannis is a planet with a highly developed scientific and technological civilization, and New Gettysburg is one of the most important industrial cities on this planet, there is no sky at all here, only a thick orange lead cloud obscures everyone's vision, and even in low-earth orbit, those space facilities that are larger than the Tiangong of the previous world even if they are in low earth orbit, even if they are an airport or a dock, can only barely see a vague shadow on the ground.
But of course, Xue Qiong was not shocked by the crazy conquest of space by human beings in this plot world, but he felt...
Yes, even if Xue Qiong could sense the range of energy flow, which was only a few kilometers away, it would not play a decisive role in this plot world where the universe was the battlefield and the entire planet was one city and one place, but at this time, he felt the energy reaction tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Of course, this is not because of his strength, which inexplicably has an explosive improvement, directly against the sky, but because the energy he feels is too strong... It's like a human being's clear vision is not that far, and you can't see the small words on the paper from a distance of one or two meters, but what if that word is big enough? What if it's as big as a mountain? Or what if the word is written directly on the sun?!
