Chapter 18: Back to the Surface
Chapter 18: Back to the Surface
"Finally?" Renault wondered.
"That's how it should be." She still kept her charming smile and raised her hands, fists clenched and released, "It's a wonderful feeling, Jimmy." It fills me up and completes. I'll never be the lonely me again. She glanced at Frank wryly, and she knew that he knew what she was trying to say. Frank was a little weak in his heart, he didn't want to be a member of the swarm from any point of view, he knew that his appearance had caused her big trouble, and her heart was struggling whether to include him under the command of the Zerg, so Frank could only send an apologetic look again, he had nothing to say.
"They call you the Empress!" Reynolds remembered the name the brainworm had used before he left, and the voice it made was human language, which he could understand.
Hearing this, Kellygan's smile became brighter and more obvious, "Yes! I am, Queen of Blades. ”
"It seems that you can't give up your loyalty to those disgusting bugs no matter what?" She shook her head at the look of pain that followed for Renault, and as for Renault, he could see the answer in her smile.
"Then then" Renault picked up the electromagnetic rifle that had fallen from his feet, and was ready to raise it at any moment, he said, "Are you going to kill us with your own hands now, dear?" ”
"It's just a matter of killing you." She said that for this, whether it was ordinary Renault or Frank, a top ghost agent, knew that what she said was not a lie. Before the swarm assimilated, she was already one of the deadliest top killers. And right now, though, she is bare-handed. But she was still able to do the same with the ribbon-like part of her body, not to mention that her physical strength and speed had undoubtedly improved even more, and Frank even wondered if his ghost energy had reached level 12 at this moment, he knew very well that the assimilation of the Zerg was not just a physical physical change. Now she's probably able to take care of everyone they come underground, including Frank, who is a ghost agent.
Kellygan turned around and took a few steps back, and suddenly, she turned sharply again, and in the next moment, her bone wing stabbed forward abruptly, and the spikes at the end of the bone wing were already aimed at the center of Frank's eyebrows. Frank was in a daze. How did she become so powerful? The bony wings on her back slowly retracted, and he stretched his knuckles again, and then plunged his ten fingers into Renault without the other party's knowledge. The moment she launched her attack on either Renault or Frank, both of them thought they were dead. Actually, no. Kelly was just scaring them.
Followed by. She bowed her head. Although she was laughing, the emotions that emerged were diametrically opposite, the sadness of her laughter. She glanced between the two of them, and she said, "You don't pose a threat to me at all. She said as she took a few steps back, putting a distance between the two of them. Be smart. She warned, her voice reclaiming the terrifying echo of before, "Get out of here, and never try to fight the swarm again." Zuihou's words were like a command, and the tone was more unmistakable than when he spoke to the brain worm in front of him. The words made them feel an inexplicable pressure, a sense of coercion that forced them to give in.
Next, they stood silently in the lair, motionless, in an atmosphere of tension, but no one made a move. Finally, Kellygen moved, she suddenly turned around, completely ignoring their existence, and then, her skin turned an illusory pale, her body slowly faded, and then completely disappeared, almost in the blink of an eye, her whole person disappeared completely, and only Frank and the two of them were left in the huge lair, to be exact, in addition to the two of them, there were also those disgusting fungus blankets and those eggs under their feet.
Frank knew, and vaguely felt, that Kellygen was still in this lair, he was just invisible, obviously, she had become stronger, and now she didn't need the assistance of a ghost suit to be completely invisible.
"Looks like we don't have a choice!" Frank said.
"The Empress of Blades!" Renaud muttered to himself, the name giving him endless cold. Kellygan accepted the title, which meant that the transformation of the swarm into her had been completely successful. Sarah. Kelly Gen is dead, and only the Queen of Blades is alive.
"yes. I don't have a choice. Renault's voice was low and lost, and the two of them staggered to the archway, and Renault forced himself to examine the battle armor worn by each soldier along the way. They earned the right to keep his gaze on them. It would be an insult to them to turn his head around because he was uncomfortable, and he would never allow himself to do so.
Maybe she was right, it was a stupid and brainless decision to bring the brethren here, he thought to himself.
"Is it okay?" Frank asked.
"I can't die yet." Renault responded. Looking at the armor fragments on the ground, his heart was stuffy and difficult to breathe, he was full of chagrin and remorse, "I don't deserve to be their leader at all, it's my fault, it's my fault that they lost their lives, it's my fault that they came here, it was I who dragged them across the galaxy, traveled a long way to get here, and sacrificed them just to find a woman who didn't need us at all." She's right, we shouldn't be here, it's a stupid × move. He could barely restrain his self-deprecation.
"None of this matters, man!" Frank walked up to him, "There are hundreds of brothers on the surface, tens of thousands of brothers in outer space, think of those tens of thousands of brothers, think of Matt's somewhat funny and respectful dedication to foreign fanaticism, think of them, what they need is a loyal, brave you, not such a depraved you." And the real point is, are you ready to lead them again in the next step? That's all. ”
Renault's heart was shocked, "Yes! He nodded to himself and said, "I've led us here, so let me lead them out of this damn place." There's a lot we have to do, and it's time to settle accounts with Mengsk. ”
"That's what I saw Jim. Renault. Frank laughed.
The two of them walked towards the archway and began to walk back down the passage, keeping an eye out for the swarm of insects around them as they went, and although Kelligan had said that she would let the two of them go, it didn't mean they would be able to get out of here safely. They quickly walked out of the worm's nest and began to walk towards the path in which they entered, seeing nothing but stones and corpses in the corridor.
It took them twice as long to reach the surface as it took them to get into the lair. Although they didn't encounter a single bug along the way, there were other things to deal with, such as misshapen passages and traps, fragile rock walls, boiling magma, etc., and many of the paths that came in were blocked by the previous battle, and they had to find other paths, but fortunately, the roads were in all directions, but even they spent a lot of time.
When they came to the surface, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Outside is where humans should be!" Renault muttered to himself, he watched as Guangman reappeared in his field of vision, the surface of the Char was still a piece of ashes, although it was still so ugly, compared to the insect web under his feet, this was much more haode on the outside.
"Now it's time for Jihua to make the next move." Frank begins to contact the team members on the surface.
"If only human beings were born to live in caves." Renault looked at the hole that crawled out of his feet and said to himself, "Their skin will inevitably get thicker, shili will be worse, their whole body will be covered with thick fur, and their spirits will be sluggish." That's why we invented electric lights, lasers, and elevators. ”
Frank's face changed drastically, "Put away your reserve, we're in big trouble!" Buddy! ”
