Following Adjutant Hyperion's words, the large screen in the living room lit up and began to play the TV signal from the Tyranid Federation.
As the first planet that humans landed on, Terra has a total of twelve giant cities, more than 300 industrial areas, and more than a thousand villages, with a population of nearly 2 billion, and its capital is Tarsonis.
Since Korhal is quite close to the Tarsonis system, there is almost no delay in the signal transmitted through the buoy network. On the screen, the beautiful female host and several gray-haired experts are sitting together. Judging from the posture, they should be in the same gear.
News reports plus news talk shows commenting on these events.
"[The 'Unnamed Beast Incident' that has attracted attention in Tarsonis City in recent weeks has been investigated and confirmed to be caused by the leakage of terazine stored in a biochemical company. Now, please ask the reporter in front to relay the live report for us, Nova?]
"
"[Okay, host,]" Nova, blond, blue-eyed, dressed as a reporter, and wearing a pair of glasses, appeared on the screen: "[As we all know, terazine is a precious resource, but it can also cause serious
If it is improperly stored and leaked, it may mutate the organisms that come into contact with it. As you can see, this company located on the outskirts of the city——】"
Renault's hand shook and he almost threw the tea cup away.
"Do you know him?" Arcturus looked at Renault with interest.
"I said before that we have intelligence sources within the federation," Renault slowly put down the cup: "I just didn't expect that she would be so high-profile."
"Reporter, a good choice." Arcturus nodded without making any further comments.
"[——We can see that the federal rapid reaction force is already in place, and the sporadic gunshots are them destroying the mutated beasts that escaped from that enterprise.]"
"[Sir, this is the picture of the 'mutated beast' I found before.]"
When Nova continued to report on the scene, the adjutant spoke up and "pasted" an extra, somewhat blurry photo on the corner of the screen.
However, it didn't matter even if the photo was a few times blurrier. Reno, who spent a whole day fighting bugs in Marsala, recognized these "old friends" at a glance.
"Obviously, those idiots in the Tyranid Federation brought back insect eggs or something else when they performed the 'psionic jump'," Arcturus sneered: "And on the other side of the 'passage', food
It must be quite sufficient.”
"If there are only this kind of bugs, there should be no 'Queen' brought there, and the situation is not serious." Renault looked at the screen and analyzed.
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!
As if to oppose Renault, a roar and fierce gunshots suddenly came from behind Nova on the screen.
"[Did everyone hear that? There must be an emergency happening. Let's go to a closer place to observe!]"
"[Wait? Nova?]"
Nova ignored the host's obstruction, took the cameraman, or perhaps an automatic camera, and headed straight for the direction where the gunshots came from.
"[This is the quality of a professional journalist.]" "[Yes, yes.]" The two guests praised him one after another.
These two guys must know that Nova is the Congressman's daughter!

"What a quick reaction force. They are the Alpha Squadron, also known as the 'Blood Hawks'. They are the sharpest knives in the hands of the Federation."
"Ha, biochemical enterprise? What kind of biochemical enterprise can be established on the outskirts of Tarsonis? Look at that ugly logo. It is obviously the base of Beta Squadron. Oh, they are also called 'Cerberus' and are responsible for researching 'spiritual beings'."
Can jump'."
A moment later, Kerrigan and Tosh arrived in the living room, and almost immediately exposed the cover-up in the news.
Kerrigan just let it go, why did he betray his teammates so decisively? Renault glanced at them, didn't say anything, and continued to follow the news.
"[We can see that a fierce encounter broke out here before, but the brave federal soldiers still won. They have entered the biochemical enterprise. Oh, look at that, these monsters are really big~
]"
Nova dutifully pretended to be a reporter, and the soldier next to her, whom she used as a backdrop, probably knew something, and looked like she didn't dare to get angry or speak out.
In the distance, on the buildings of the "Biochemical Enterprise", there was pollution and rust that seemed familiar.
"These are all old friends." Renault identified their species one by one from the insect remains, almost all of which he had seen on Mar Sara before.
"Tosh," Arcturus said solemnly: "You said that when you arrived at Marsala's base through the 'psionic jump', the surroundings were already full of bugs, right?"
"Ah, yes, that's why I slept in that egg for several months." Tuosh scratched his head.
"So, who activated Masala's receiving device? Or, if the bugs are just brainless beasts, why was the jump receiving device not destroyed?"
"..."
Tosh was stunned, and Renault also felt a chill creeping up his spine.
It has now been proven that what he thought at the time was "the depletion of insect forces" was just an illusion. The opponent was actually mutating. If it hadn't been for the sudden eruption of terrazine, "Reynold's Rangers" rashly went deep into the mine and encountered the bugs that spewed out there, especially for
If they are insects that evolve due to their attack methods...
"No, wait," Tosh responded: "You mean, the bugs reached Tarsonis in reverse through psychic leaps?"
"Ha, isn't that normal?" Kerrigan interjected, still sneering: "With the character of those guys, it is absolutely impossible to destroy these 'precious experimental samples'. They must have conducted many experiments, and then, they were
These bugs pretending to be pigs and eating tigers took over the base in one fell swoop."
"Marsala's terrazine has not been purified. The only biomass they can obtain there is vegetables from livestock on the agricultural planet. Since they appear in the densely populated and resource-rich Tarsonis..." Aktur
Si raised his lips: "The Federation is finished."
Boom!
The next moment, the "Biochemical Enterprise" that only occupies a corner of the camera exploded, just like the Marsala scene repeated, but this time it was not terrazine that shot into the sky, but fire, and countless insects mixed in between.
"[Oh, my God, I'm sorry, host, this time the frontline reporting is over, just wish yourself well.]" Nova quickly pulled down the sunglasses on her forehead, and the whole person disappeared into the air.
The soldier and his colleagues on the background board looked at the sky at a loss for a moment, while the "cameraman" remained motionless because he had no command. It was obviously not a real person but just a drone.
Arcturus' expression did not change when he saw this scene: "Next, we just have to hold our troops and not--"
"[Arcturus,]" the screen instantly switched to the President's Office, Angus Mengsk was looking at him with a serious face: "[Adjust the action plan of 'Korhal's Children' and temporarily give up targeting
The actions of the Terran Federation are fully committed to combating this 'pest disaster' and rescuing the people.]"
"..." Arcturus looked at Emil, who was sticking out his tongue at the camera with a bit of embarrassment next to his father, and sighed: "Yes, sir."
