Chapter Seventy-Four: The Zerg's Aftermath
January 15, 2071, 7:10 a.m. -- Sharez Asteroid Belt -- Battleship Command Room of the USS Brell --
The bridge was busy at this time, and the staff in charge of various departments of the battleship were doing their best to deal with their problems, and the huge wormhole that suddenly appeared behind Shariz made everyone feel a strong crisis.
"How's the detection of wormholes?"
The wormhole that slowly swirled behind Shariz was like a monster's slightly open mouth, as if it was ready to devour Shariz at any moment.
"I'm sorry, General, we still don't know anything about wormholes. The repulsion of the wormhole is too strong for our detection equipment to get close to. ”
Zhi Brain's answer made General James fall into deep thought, and he was faintly worried, this sudden appearance of the wormhole is very likely to be the Zerg's troop transport channel, because this kind of thing has appeared in the records of the Protoss allies. If that's the case, then Shariz is really in trouble.
"Use the remote instrument to continue the observation, and notify me as soon as the wormhole changes." Rising from his chair, General James was about to go for a cup of coffee, but just then, the observer stopped him.
"General, I don't think I need to inform you any more."
"What's wrong?"
The usually calm observer actually stammered, which surprised General James slightly, what could scare his right-hand man so badly?
"Look here"
The observer zoomed in on the image captured by a camera on the front of the battleship, and the center of the wormhole, the whirlpool with an eerie luster, entered everyone's field of vision. Originally, it was normal to have a whirlpool in the center of the wormhole, but the next scene made everyone's hearts rise to their throats.
"This is"
Something resembling a mushroom head slowly emerged from the wormhole, followed by a thicker and thicker tan body and tentacles, which looked extremely ordinary from the outside. It's smaller than a basketball court, but the fact that it can withstand wormhole jumps and the harsh environments of space is a testament to its extraordinary capabilities. Moreover, this kind of thing, there is more than one. As the center of the wormhole rotates, more and more "mushrooms" appear in space.
"It's an airdrop! Inform the ground forces to prepare air defense! General James roared, he felt fear, and countless Zerg were directly airdropped to the North Pole of Sharez, which was crowded with civilians, and he didn't dare to imagine it anymore.
"Yes!"
"Let the 'Prism' array cannon fire at full strength, no matter how big the consumption is, as long as I can stop the airdrop bag, all of them will be left in space for me!"
"Yes, General!"
By the time General James gave this order, the hundreds of airdrop sacs that had been released from the wormhole had already accelerated out, and their target was the unsheltered Shariz North Pole. If the inference of the brain is not wrong, the zerg carried by these airdrop sacs all have extremely strong cold resistance. If this is the case, the advantage of humans fighting in low-temperature regions will be lost.
7:12 a.m. -- Over the North Pole -- Shariz -- B270 evacuation ship --
In a porthole, a refugee from Shariz was resting with her daughter, who had been terrified for two days before finally boarding a spaceship to evacuate today, and the nervous mother fell asleep as soon as she sat down.
The little girl was only three years old, and she didn't know much about the Zerg, and she couldn't help but feel new when she saw the airdrop bag crossing at high speed outside the porthole. So he asked, "Mom, what is that?" ”
The refugee woman, who was sleeping in a daze, glanced at the porthole and replied casually, "That's the Zerg plane." Lu'er is good, sleep, and when she wakes up, she will be home, and she will be able to see her father. ”
"Uh-huh."
The little girl obediently closed her eyes and fell asleep in her mother's arms, unbeknownst to the mother and daughter, what they were about to face next was a nightmare.
B270 Evacuation Ship -- Wheelhouse --
"Captain, a large number of airdrop bags are approaching."
Looking at the dense airdrop signals on the radar, the first mate in charge of observation swallowed his saliva. What was originally a simple lift-off and evacuation mission now seems to have become extremely complicated.
The captain didn't care about this, ignoring the principle of safe command of the spaceship, took out a bottle of space Volga from the side seat, and poured it hard, "Don't worry about them, don't look at us as an evacuation ship, the thickness of the armor is more than one meter." The main engine thrust is at full thrust, allowing us to get rid of the gravity of Sharitz. ”
The captain's calmness calmed the hearts of many of the crew, who had been following the sloppy Russian ship for a long time, and they were still very confident in the captain's superb command skills. "Yes, Captain. The reactor is running at 40 percent capacity, and the main engine is at full power for one minute and 40 seconds before it can escape the gravitational pull of Sharitz. ”
"Captain, there's an airdrop bag coming straight at us!"
The captain pointed to the second officer with his dark left hand, "Cut, it's really troublesome, the left engine is full power, do evasive actions." ”
"The evasion is complete."
Just when the crew thought the airdrop bag had been dodged, an accident happened.
"Captain, the airdrop bag has changed the trajectory!"
"Collide in five seconds!"
"Sound the collision warning!"
"Boom---"
The hull of the B270 shook violently, and the refugees on the boat were so frightened that they screamed, and the refugees who sat by the porthole and saw the airdrop bags fled from their positions in fright.
"Damn, report the damage."
"The decks E7 to E28 on the port side are slightly cracked, and the captain, the airdrop bag is stuck on it."
The captain frowned, waved his hand, and ordered, "Continue to the predetermined airspace, we don't have time to deal with that thing." Let the ship's escort block the E-deck in case the Zerg pop out of it."
"Captain, a zerg has come out of the airdrop bag!"
"What?! I'm not done yet! Have someone from the security team go and cordon off the E deck. What a damn one! A punch hit the armrest, and the armrest of the command chair was knocked a little crooked by the captain.
"Captain's thing, the security team can't seem to deal with it"
While talking tremblingly, the second officer switched the screen of the main monitor to the port side of the B270. There, a strange Zerg is destroying the deck. Looking at the strange Zerg, the captain, who had always been calm and calm, was also stunned, and couldn't help but burst into a foul language, "What the hell is this TMD thing in my kao?"
