The remains of the city ruins to the south of the settlement in the setting sun outline the Helsain people's memories of the past, but now it is just a surface covered with zerg creeping carpets, spinous cavities, blood vessels, insect intestines, chitin carapace and
The exoskeleton shell is still growing rapidly.
City residents and animals infected by the zerg virus still wander among the high-rise buildings like midnight ghosts, and deep in the dark caves there are still the queens of the swarm and the guardians of the hive.
The entire city has become diseased, and many buildings have been completely reduced to breeding grounds for infected and aberrant creatures. Some towering skyscrapers have been transformed into swarm spiers, with swarms of alien dragons hovering above them.
, the city park that originally had beautiful gardens, lawns, red brick paths and benches was covered in corpses and insect excrement.
Every time, people in refugee resettlement areas feel extremely sad when they look at the ruins of the city. It is unknown how many people's property and family members were destroyed in the catastrophe caused by the invasion of battlefield insects.
This refugee camp is very large, and the engineers of the Revolutionary Army Engineering Corps who designed it are obviously very experienced and have considered all aspects of the lives of refugees. According to estimates, the main mainland refugee camp can accommodate 250,000 people, which is enough to solve the problem of displacement in the area.
Refugee resettlement issues.
The camp also provided people with food, clothing and personal protection, a move that was widely praised among the people of Hailsen.
The modular modular house panels used to build the refugee camp were transported directly to the surface of Helsin by air. Necessary facilities such as power stations and water reservoirs are all available. There are cement roads between the houses, and cars will pass by them from time to time.
A transport convoy bringing refugees and supplies.
The bright red flag of the revolutionary army still stands in the center of the camp, constantly reminding the people in the refugee camp who is protecting them from wind and rain.
There is a helipad in the center of the refugee camp that is large enough for dozens of APOD transport ships to take off and land at the same time. The transport ships that are taking off and landing on it are also responsible for transporting refugees. Since all the revolutionary troops who landed in Helsin have returned to the fleet,
, only some lower-level officers of the revolutionary army and local militia are responsible for the security of the refugee camp.
When Augustus came to this refugee camp, the expansion area was still under intensive construction. Containers and tall scaffolding that had just been put down by transport ships could be seen everywhere. Many vehicles were more than ten feet tall.
A tall T-280 space engineering vehicle uses welding guns, claws and a power drill to join the support columns and frames of a modular house.
Some of these T-280 space engineering vehicles are still too old even if they have been repeatedly painted and well maintained. They are all old models that often have problems. Only marginal colonies and newly established colonies are still in large-scale use.
They are easy to collect in places like Mar Sara and Antiga Prime, and in cosmic garbage dumps like Port of the Dead, you can also dig up a lot of old and repaired items that are still usable.
The Revolutionary Army can now also build its own space engineering vehicles. The design of engines, onboard feedback modules and auxiliary thrusters is not an insurmountable problem. In the past, the Revolutionary Army lacked factories to build engineering vehicles, but now these can be built in Antiga.
Mass production is carried out in large factories in Haigi and Altera.
When Augustus stood in front of a two-story building under construction, two space engineering vehicles were concentrating on welding cables and solar panels, which can greatly solve the electricity problem of refugees. On the surface of the planet
When working, engineering vehicles will use walking legs connected to the servo system to walk, and they will only use the propellers behind them when they face danger and need to impact or carry heavy objects.
The T-280 space engineering vehicle is the cornerstone of construction and resource collection, as evidenced by the cities, fortresses, mines, space stations and refineries that rise from the ground.
"Hey, has anyone ever said your outfit is cool? Quindy." Jim Raynor, who was next to Augustus, tried to strike up a conversation with a space engineering vehicle driver.
"I take this as flattery. Lieutenant General Renault, I haven't seen you in a while. The last time was when Tychus and Colonel Hank made a mess on the Hyperion." The man driving the space engineering vehicle
Pilot Quindy Lired turned around and lowered his cockpit window.
When he looked at Augustus, he saluted: "Marshal, I heard that the front line just won a battle, all because we have a wise and mighty leader."
First come first served, this space engineering vehicle driver belonging to the Hyperion Engineering Group has met Augustus and Renault many times. He is also a technical team leader under Swann, and his original job is technical
He is a hard-working engineer, but he is also an outstanding engineer.
"The young men in the frontline troops are all good, but you are also responsible for this. We are a whole, and no one of us can do it." As usual, Augustus said something that all members of the revolutionary army deserved the most credit.
, he never stops honors from himself, which is even more obvious when compared with Edmund Duke, who is famous for his reputation.
"What's going on with Tychus and Hank?" After saying that, he looked at Renault again.
Augustus should not have been on the Hyperion at that time, and after he returned, the people on the ship obviously did not want to disturb Marshal Augustus, who was busy with everything, with trivial matters.
"That happened last month. Tychus drank some spirits and went crazy in the bar, knocking down four or five top guys." Renault spread his hands and said.
"One of them happened to be the Red Devil Firebats who were accompanying Hyperion on a mission. You know what a hot-tempered villain their boss is." He said: "Hank and Tychus turned the bar upside down.
"
"Hank thought that Tychus was so good at fighting because he drank alcohol, so he also drank a few bottles of Red Star Spirits."
"Guess what's the best move." Renault laughed and said, "The guy got drunk immediately, and Tychus started dancing in the bar."
"Fortunately they didn't break my record player, it's an old antique." Augustus said: "Hank is still a young boy, Tychus is so old, why is he still causing trouble everywhere."
"You are too partial to Harnak Hank." Kerrigan said next to him.
"How about it, Kundi, tell me what's going on here." Augustus covered his forehead and looked at Kundi who was sitting on the space engineering vehicle.
The cockpit of the space engineering vehicle was five feet (1.5 meters) above the ground, and Augustus had to raise his head to look up at him.
"As always, trouble always keeps coming." Kundi said to Augustus: "The engineering team has built refugee camps more than once on planets invaded by zerg, but the environment of each planet is different.
same."
"The ground of Halsain is the most satisfactory among the planets I have seen in the past few years, but the bugs may think so too." He said: "When we first started building the refugee camp, we still lacked cover. After all, we could not
When faced with an entire swarm, deploy a few battalions to protect a refugee camp that has no strategic value."
"Insects often visit here. At that time, we drove engineering vehicles and used plasma guns, power claws and drills to deal with them. It was really thrilling."
"A company or even a platoon is enough to deal with a few springtails or Hydra Hydralisks, but the captain in charge did not consider this." Augustus said: "He has already paid for this mistake.
cost."
"We cannot be too harsh on an officer who has not received professional military education. We can only hope that his successor can learn from the lessons of his predecessors."
Most of the officers of the Revolutionary Army were promoted from ordinary soldiers. They are experienced and brave in combat, but that does not mean that they will not make mistakes.
"Later, refugees moved in one after another." Kundi continued: "But you can't expect everyone to be grateful for your efforts. Many people are still complaining about the facilities in the refugee camps. Damn it, is it possible?
Do they think our help is legitimate?"
"Some people also sneak in to cause trouble and destroy important energy facilities... Even the zerg has not brought us such losses. We are not here to thank you, but doing so will inevitably make people feel discouraged.
cold."
"You can leave if you don't want to stay here all the time. We didn't come to Helsinn for charity," Renault said.
"If we drive people away, those people will say that the revolutionary army is oppressing civilians." Augustus said: "At least most people will cooperate with us."
At this time, there was another noise in the refugee camp, and it seemed that someone was still making trouble.
"What's going on?" Renault looked in that direction.
"I guess it's just a trivial matter." Kundi said: "Everyone who comes here is a victim of this war, and inevitably some people use alcohol to drown their sorrows. Some people also steal relief supplies, although the ones we distribute have already been
It’s enough for them to have enough food and clothing.”
"Can they still get wine at this time?" Renault shrugged: "Is it really worth it? Some of our good brothers stayed here forever for Helsain, and their wives may have to be forced to do it for their children.
Are you remarrying just to save these scumbags?"
"After all, the majority approves of us." Augustus said to Renault: "Be optimistic, Jimmy, haven't we seen enough ridiculous things?"
"Oh - I can't help but be optimistic. When a person has experienced many things, Augustus, he will naturally look down upon those hardships." Reno said.
"Go and take a look and see what those people are still arguing about."
"Okay, I have to continue working. Even if I told Swann that I was talking to Marshal Augustus Mengsk during the delay, he probably wouldn't believe it." Kundi said.
He closed the cab window and continued what he was doing.
"I hope that when I see you next time, we will be able to build a fortress in Tarsonis."
"I'd like to lend you a good word," Augustus responded.
Augustus, Renault Kerrigan and others walked along the road under construction towards the center of the refugee camp, and noticed that many people were rushing from their houses to the site of the incident.
"Can you sense anything?" Augustus noticed that it was a relief point used to distribute food and water, and next to it was a supply station warehouse that stored supplies.
Now, the area around this relief point is crowded with people. Many people are talking at the same time. The air is filled with anger and tension. Anxiety is spreading among everyone. Several Helsinian militiamen wearing blue power armor
They are intervening in this dispute. They are all locals and turned to the revolutionary army after the revolutionary army settled on this planet.
"There are too many people here...it's very noisy, and I can't grasp the key point." Kerrigan pressed her temples, a pale golden light flowing in her eyes.
"Rumors." Suddenly, Kerrigan caught something.
"Some people are spreading messages here, saying that the Revolutionary Army will cut off food supplies from the refugee camps to support the front line. Others say that once the Tyranid Federation comes back, all those who betrayed the Federation will be liquidated."
"What a despicable trick. Don't forget who saved them from the zerg."
"Quiet!" Augustus waved his hand, and Faraday's marshal's guards ran towards the crowd in neat steps and lined up on both sides: "Who is the culprit of this riot? If no one tells me,
Then everyone here must be investigated."
The people who were arguing about something immediately fell silent. They could not ignore the armed marshal's guard soldiers and the golden wolf logo on their bodies. The crowd dispersed quickly, and no one was left to explain what happened.
Kerrigan led the guards and quickly captured two people, a young man wearing a turban and dyed purple hair, and a middle-aged man with a big belly.
"Tell me, what have you done?" Reno asked the two people who were brought to Augustus while wiping his Colt pistol.
"I..." Just as the middle-aged man was about to say something, Renault started loading bullets into his pistol.
"I have killed many people, the brave and capable guild guards of the Caimorians, the thugs of Mar Sara, the criminals of the Port of the Dead... No one is innocent." He said: "We
There are ghost agents here who can read minds..."
"It may not be the best in the universe, but it must be considerate." Kerrigan emphasized: "I will write down every word you say and distinguish every detail."
"I know that you are working for the drug lord in Helsein. He instructed you to create chaos here because he hates the anti-drug policy of the Revolutionary Army." She looked at another person: "As for you, you at least want to stir up chaos.
, and also took advantage of the commotion to get a few more supplies."
"Take it down and send it to Antiga for mining." Augustus pondered for a moment, then gave the order after thinking briefly.
"It was not like this when the Tyrannic Federation was here! You inhumane rebels, you will definitely pay the price!" The fat middle-aged man who just wanted to get through the situation just now, but now learned his fate, immediately shouted
The ground started shouting.
"This was not the case when the Tyrannic Federation was here!"
"Idiot!" Renault cursed.
"He is right. The system I established is to make it difficult for people like this to harbor evil intentions."
