On the outskirts of Grande City, in the town of Montecato, in the morning light.
This is a town that emerged due to oasis agriculture. The developed irrigation industry and the use of giant agricultural machinery have made this impact fan zone at the foot of the giant crater one of Haiji’s main grain producing areas. It is precisely this dotted agricultural industry
and industrial areas provided food and raw materials for the city.
The surrounding continuous craters can shield the town of Montecato and the city of Grandeira behind it from the strong winds that are strong enough to roll up houses and livestock. They are not only a natural barrier but also part of the local strange and alien landscape.
This was once one of the few natural landscapes that could be pictured on postcards, because other places were either deserts or endless craters.
However, when the New Year comes, all the good things cease to exist.
The zerg struck the town at midnight on January 3, while the people were still sleeping.
Countless screaming, nightmare-like monsters descended from the sky. They had ferocious huge mouths and bright shield-like crowns, and broke into this quiet town like a torrent in the mountains. These ferocious and abominable monsters were
The sound seems to come from all human fantasies about alien monsters in thrillers, from the screams of ghosts.
At first, only a few people realized they were being attacked. By the time the town's police chief called the local garrison, the streets were filled with ferocious skinned dogs and twisted snake-like creatures.
The swarm killed more than 6,000 people in one night, leaving less than 200 town residents who survived through the wreckage of a colony ship left over from the early colonial era and the weapons in a federal outpost. People used
Huge agricultural machinery and harvesters have established the last line of defense, struggling to survive in desperate situations.
On the morning of this day, when the morning light had just shone on the bloodshot people from the bunker firing hole in the center of Montecato town, which was originally the cockpit of the colonial mothership, the crackling sound of the Zerg carapace and spikes colliding with each other was heard again.
.
That is the marching swarm, a group of fast-moving and well-organized abominable creatures. They move forward like insects crossing the fields in summer, buzzing across the field ridges. The smooth carapace of each insect shines in the sunlight.
The lower parts reflect a magnificent metallic color, and their thin, vein-like wings vibrate in the air, making a crackling sound.
The streets were already devastated, with street lamps lying across the center of the road. There were broken glass, rubble and gnawed human corpses everywhere. People died in different postures, and some people were lying on the roadside.
While walking down the street, a springtail jumped on his neck and someone's neck was bitten off. Some were cut into pieces by a roaring Hydra Hydralisk.
Blood stained the streets red.
These ugly alien creatures that looked like something between reptiles and insects were once extremely unfamiliar to the people of Montecato Town. They had only heard a few words from the radio program of the Unn Universe News Network, but they had never thought about it.
When you cross the remote planet of Haiji, zerg will appear.
In just over twenty hours, those creatures that seemed to come out of a nightmare have brought too many painful memories to the people here.
The residents of the town who stayed awake all night picked up their last weapons, the police station's grenade launchers, electromagnetic pistols, shotguns and even the sickles that farmers used to weed.
These weapons allow these farmers who have never received professional military training to be somewhat able to fight back when facing the zerg. Had it not been for the harsh strong wind environment and agricultural work in Haiji that forged the strong physique and tenacity of the small town residents.
With their own will, it is impossible for them to support it at this time.
The town of Montecato is headed by Mayor Gray, a tough guy who has been a soldier and an interstellar adventurer. He has been to many places in the Koprulu sector and has seen the profit-seeking Kemerian and the people who talk about democracy and freedom.
Umoyan people are the most vicious and upright people I have ever seen.
Mayor Gray has fought against illegal colonists, mercenaries, scavengers, scrap recyclers and interstellar pirates. He knows people from all walks of life, and his magnificent life is enough to make a book. But Mayor Gray is the only one who has not seen it.
Look past these hideous-looking monsters in front of you.
"If Manan Thres wants to punish the disrespectful, then she can punish me instead of the people in this town." Mayor Gray walked in front of the defense line built by more than a dozen agricultural harvesters and cranes.
Continuously encourage the townspeople with weapons through words.
The federal sheriff of the town died heroically when the Zerg arrived. Now Mayor Gray is the only commander here: "If you persist for one day, the army will come. Don't give up. For the sake of your family and children, don't give up."
!”
"We must continue to live!"
In the Grande area, Voodoo is a very influential sect, almost rivaling Christianity. Because the priests of Voodoo held a witchcraft ceremony outside the town of Montecato just before the New Year, many
It is believed that the zerg invasion is related to the Voodoo sect's goddess of death, Manaan Thrath.
No one responded to Mayor Gray's words. Everyone had been fighting for a whole night and was extremely exhausted.
To this day, Mayor Gray still feels dreamy and unreal that these hastily constructed structures can last so long in front of the Zerg army. The only explanation is that the main force of the Zerg easily invaded the town of Montecato.
So they turned to attack the city, leaving these neglected people to struggle here.
It is simply impossible to expect these people who tremble at the sight of the zerg to be able to withstand the swarm's offensive, and the ammunition is about to run out. If the federal garrison in Grandland does not send some people over, the remaining people will be
The hoe must have a showdown with the zerg.
However, Mayor Gray already knew very well that support would probably not come again. The enemy this time was not just interstellar pirates or small-scale rebels, but zerg, a sea of insects that devoured everything.
Mayor Gray looked up into the sky, and it seemed that the huge king insect was already above his head. No one had taught the mayor about the zerg, but he believed that it must be these giant creatures in the sky that were commanding the entire swarm.
.
As the buzzing sound got closer and closer, Mayor Gray and the people around him could almost smell the fishy smell from the zerg's bloody mouth filled with saliva and poisonous liquid. The little monsters at the front were
It jumped back and forth nimbly among the walls and rubble of the ruins, making ear-piercing screams from time to time.
They look like coyotes with skin rash, and are extremely ugly.
Today, Mayor Gray noticed that the attacking zerg were no longer as orderly as before. From time to time, zerg would stop to eat human corpses on the ground, and would even fight each other for a piece of meat. The scene was bloody.
But this is not a good thing for Mayor Gray and his colony. The zerg are no longer as orderly as before, but they are also hungrier.
The first round of firing was the C-7 electromagnetic gun, which was one of the few in the colony. It was definitely a discarded product that should have been abandoned by the federal army, but it was definitely a magic weapon in the hands of these people.
The weapons of the Tyranid humans are not helpless against the carapace of the zerg, and what the townspeople lack now is the accuracy of aiming. When facing large-scale, dense formations of zerg, even random aiming can still hit, but now
But it is difficult to hit the extremely sensitive springtails.
Mayor Gray grabbed a double-barreled shotgun that had been with him for many years and fired close to the gap left between the cultivator and the grain thresher. He fired more than a dozen shots in a row without hitting, as if he was aiming
The reaction speed of that springtail is faster than the speed of bullets.
A few lucky guys or experienced hunters shot one or two springtails, but they didn't have much effect on the overall battlefield situation.
When the springtail climbed up the shelves of a large seed transport truck, the sound of its claws rubbing against the steel made the townspeople feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar. Mayor Gray was even able to
Hear the excited purr of the springtail.
This reminded Mayor Gray of dogs begging for food and cats playing with mice. This time, humans were just meat in the mouths of the zerg.
Some people began to cry, and all their courage was exhausted after the nightmare yesterday. Everyone knew that once the zerg crossed the barrier built by vehicles, even a springtail not much bigger than a large dog could easily
Dozens or more lives have been harvested.
Mayor Gray gritted his teeth and roared at the coward for disrupting the morale of the army, but the next moment a Fenris springtail with a bright green carapace jumped into the crowd, killing like a wolf in a flock of sheep.
The one closest to the springtail was a middle-aged man holding a semi-automatic rifle. He wore antique-rimmed glasses, had conspicuous muscles and a burly physique. This man was a blacksmith at the school in the town and was still using it.
Craftsmanship dating back centuries forged farm tools and furniture.
He was a generous man and used to drink with Mayor Gray.
But the springtail just casually swooped forward and grabbed the blacksmith, ruthlessly using its sharp fangs and claws to tear the man into pieces, and the latter died without even letting out a cry.
Then it jumped up from the corpse, arched its back and pounced on the next victim, biting a half-grown boy in half who was defending with the adults like tearing a piece of rag. More Fen
Lys springtails jumped down and ruthlessly harvested people's lives.
"No!! It's chewing my leg! Ahh!"
"Help me! Help me!"
The screams one after another further broke the will of the townspeople, and the wails on the verge of despair never sounded like something a human could utter.
Despair failed to break Mayor Gray, a tough guy like Hemingway. He rushed towards a springtail that was biting a woman and tried to attract its attention by shouting.
The Fenris springtail that was eating the soft face of the woman was attracted by Mayor Gray's shouts. It threw away the prey and jumped towards him. Each jump was six or seven feet high, as if flying.
is moving forward.
"Damn bastard!" Mayor Gray stood still and shot at the zerg, but two consecutive shots missed. When the mayor was about to reload bullets and shoot again, the zergling was only a few seconds away from him.
It's only a stone's throw away.
Mayor Gray had not yet admitted defeat. He drew out a dagger that had been with him for more than thirty years and prepared to fight the springtail in hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, a roar from a fighter plane reached Mayor Gray's ears. It was a golden-red Wraith fighter plane that was diving towards the ground, followed by at least twenty Wraith fighter planes, Avengers fighters and apod transports.
Ship. The bright ice-blue wake resembles the wings of a blue phoenix.
The beautiful Wraith fighter rotated and used the 25mm pulse laser cannon under its wings and belly to shoot several orange-red beams towards the ground. After a burning sensation, the springtail in front of Mayor Gray
It was immediately burned to ashes by the laser.
The Wraith fighter plane flew very low, almost passing over Mayor Gray's head.
He recognized the logo on the tail stabilizer of this fighter plane almost at a glance - a golden arm on the shiny crimson primer of the fighter plane, surrounding a whip, with a strong arm between the arm and the whip.
A shining golden five-pointed star.
Korhal Revolutionary Army.
"It's so beautiful, look at that fighter plane!" No matter how unn's news channels smeared this army in the past, in the eyes of Mayor Gray, they were the saviors of himself and the townspeople.
"It's the fighter planes of the Revolutionary Army, they are coming to save us!"
Another formation of five Wraith fighter planes passed over the people, and the Zerg in the crowd burned and fell to the ground under the laser pulse beams.
The people who were still alive were stunned on the spot. They looked to the sky in disbelief, cheered or cried. These people may not recognize that this is the famous Korhal rebels and not the regular troops of the Tyranid Federation, but they know that
It is the fighter plane of mankind and the army of mankind.
Two Apod-33 transport ships with the same golden and red paint tore through the sky, and landed among the people amidst the roar of the engines and the strong winds caused by the propellers. Goliath armed robots stepped out of the open hatches.
Walking out with heavy steps, the rotating automatic cannon swept through the remaining springtails, and the torrent of caseless bullets was like a roaring torrent of steel.
A ferocious Fenris springtail was about to knock down a panicked child, but it was immediately swept away by bullets from its 30mm cannon.
A modified Goliath armed robot used the diamond drill on its modified automatic multifunctional arm to smash the crest and brain of a Hydralisk, then trampled one to death and was mowed down by a machine cannon.
Fenris Springtail.
A group of heavily armed Revolutionary Army soldiers in red power armor. The leading soldier stretched out his hand and showed off the armband with a black panda head on his right arm, making an attack gesture.
"Kill all these bugs!" the political commissar of the revolutionary army waved his powerful right hand.
"All civilians board the ship immediately, we are the revolutionary army."
"Repeat, we are the revolutionary army."
Although the progress of depositing the manuscript is impressive, I still want to ask for a recommendation vote. I want to get the milestone of 30,000 recommendations.
