Chapter 410： Infect the abyss

"Crack, crack..." Pieces of external armor shattered, and the background of the pressure indicator changed to flashing red. On the Thor structure diagram displayed by the damage control management system, red spots were rapidly eroding the armor modules.

At this moment, the distance between "One-eyed Tai Sui" and Thor has been shortened to 10 meters, and the two arms are wrapped around Thor's body like a rubber band that stretches to the limit. As time goes by, they continue to close. Tight and squeeze.

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

The quadruple Punisher artillery on Thor's back was lifted up and moved to the shoulder position. The retractable barrel stretched forward and changed to the cannon mode, aiming at the "One-eyed Taisui" ahead at the smallest angle.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, and the "One-eyed Tai Sui" is one head higher than Thor. The weapon originally used for air defense and long-range bombing was actually used by Tang Fang for close combat.

"5,4,3,2,1" When the "1" at the end of the indicator disappeared, Tang Fang shouted: "Fire!"

The system accepted the voice command, and the ring identifier on the lock system display suddenly shrank.

At the same time, the Punisher cannon on Thor's shoulder, the Thor's Hammer particle acceleration cannon with both arms, and the Cavulin launch tube on both sides of the cockpit flashed a dazzling fire.

This ground-based fortress finally revealed its vigor, the weapon system was fully opened, and with the "rumbling" sound, the quadruple punisher artillery shot out rounds of light fire one after another, and the high-explosive armor-piercing projectiles surrounding the arc seemed to hit the water at high speed. The hard stones splattered the upper part of "One-eyed Tai Sui".

Every 8 batches of iff fragment warheads resemble flurrying demons, exploding on the body of "One-eyed Tai Sui" 30 meters away, and the fragments containing high-energy electrons are deeply inserted into its body, causing extensive tissue necrosis.

Punisher artillery and fragmentation warheads contain limited high-energy electrons and are not considered deadly weapons. Tang Fang tried his best to compress the massive high-energy electrons to the limit, and then injected the spherical particle clusters formed by the accelerated electric field of Thor's Hammer Particle Accelerator, which was the real big killer.

Emma once separated a thread to calculate the energy contained in spherical particle clusters. After modeling and calculation, the conclusion is that. If it is not too far away, and the Quake Particle Accelerator can hit the same point twice in a row, even the "Aurora" shield of the Morningstar will be broken by it.

What is the concept of being able to break through the "Aurora" shield in the zero element mode? Emma once said that only more than 200 corrupters can break the "Aurora". When he gets here, he only needs 2 shots, 2 shots!

of course. These 2 guns must hit one point accurately, using a point-of-face attack, but even so, it was shocking enough.

"One-eyed Tai Sui" is powerful, but after all, the time is still young, and there is still a big gap between "Aurora". Of course, its strength is reflected in its tenacious vitality, but the high-energy electrons urged by the Tang Fang have a devastating effect on the activity of tissue cells.

"Bah... Boom! Boom!"

At the end of both arms, the ring resonator of the four Thor's Hammer particle accelerators flashed four dazzling fires, and suddenly, Thor's arms shook. Amid the roar, four high-energy particle streams carrying fire and lightning spurted out at an instantaneous speed far exceeding the speed of light.

A dazzling flash of light instantly illuminated the entire hangar, and the impact point seemed to be the source of thunder. High-energy electron beams pierce the air, and the high heat causes large-scale gas expansion, producing an unusually sharp serial sonic boom.

Through Tang Fang’s limit compression, the energy contained in the particle ball emitted by Thor’s Hammer Particle Accelerator far exceeds that of nuclear bombs. Under the impact of high-energy electron beams, the atoms that make up matter are shattered and protons and neutrons break away from the atomic nucleus to generate kinetic energy. Pass, the high-speed nucleus collides with other nuclei on the way. A series of energy level transition reactions are produced, and a large number of high-energy rays such as γ, a, and β are scattered outward. Even black holes at the quantum level are formed.

It is conceivable that a ray storm comparable to a nuclear explosion tens or hundreds of times rages in the body of the "One-eyed Tai Sui". What effect will it have.

"Rumble..." The flames flooded the hangar, and the entire industrial park was shaking.

Under the dazzling light, the body of "One-Eyed Tai Sui" wriggling ceaselessly seemed to be slowly petrifying. The blood pupils turned quickly at first, then slowed down, dimmed, and their expression disappeared until they were frozen.

"Crack...crack..." a slight, crisp sound came out, and the cracks spread from the center of the blood pupil, like tree branches, intertwined into an irregular cracked web, and finally with a "wow", it broke into countless pieces. The light spot disappeared.

"Huh, huh..." After the strong light retreated, Tang Fang sat down on the ground all of a sudden, panting violently.

More than half of Raytheon's electronic equipment was damaged. The remaining two indicators flashed continuously, and the cockpit illuminated by the warning lights was red.

He himself was frightened by this scene. The Quake's hammer, which had been replaced with "ammunition", had such power. The lethality of high-energy electrons was really shocking. The terrifying creatures such as "One-eyed Tai Sui" were unexpectedly caught by the electronic storm. It is directly torn into pieces from the quantum level, turned into the most basic particles, and disappeared in the macro world. Even Thor's body was fatally injured in the rain of scattered high-energy particles, and the body was almost scrapped.

Raising his hands tremblingly, Tang Fang stared at his palm in a daze, feeling that Emma's previous description of him was biased. What kind of human-shaped wormhole is clearly the source of human-shaped high-energy particles.

I am afraid that large battleships such as cruisers and battleships will not be able to hold them when hit by the particle ball just now. Of course, Tang Fang is very clear about one thing. It's one thing to be destructive, and it's another thing to get a hit.

Moreover, Emma said that his body is like a particle accelerator. Once high-energy electrons leave his body, or rush out of the electromagnetic conductor in contact with his body, lose the restraint and acceleration of the field force, they will be subject to the rules of the real universe. Influence, the movement speed will drop sharply.

For example, just now, the distance between Thor and the "One-eyed Tai Sui" is only a dozen meters, and the energy attenuation is limited, but if it is tens to hundreds of kilometers, the high-energy electrons may have been weakened to the sub-light speed level.

"Commander, the system has detected that the phagocytic gene polymer still has a thermal response."

"What!" Hearing Emma's reminder, Tang Fang jerked his spirits abruptly, so that he wouldn't be killed? Then just put oil on the soles of your feet and get away with it. The temptation to unlock Zerg technology is indeed great. Whether it is Scorpion or Queen, it will bring him an increase in combat effectiveness. But... the old saying goes well, life is the capital of revolution. If you can't save your life, how can you talk about development?

"Commander, you are wrong." He was worried, and when he was retreating, Emma explained in detail: "The thermal energy response of the phagosome polymer is very weak, less than one thousandth of the complete body. It is the tissue cells that survive the particle storm."

"Say early!" Tang Fang sighed in relief, got up and walked to the console. Press the cockpit unlock button, grab the lifting cable, and slowly land to the hangar floor.

After landing on the ground and looking around, the body of "One-eyed Tai Sui" has disappeared, only some necrotic pieces of flesh remain, scattered around the moderately deformed Thor in the main structure.

Turning on the thermal vision function of the helmet, under the guidance of Emma, ​​he turned over and jumped into the hole blasted by the magnetic track earlier, sweeping the area in front of him. A necrotic sarcoma with a diameter of about 2 meters was found to emit very weak heat radiation.

Tang Fang raised his right hand, watching the high-energy electron beam bounce arcs in his palm, and then plunged into the necrotic sarcoma. With the infrared image drawn by the helmet thermal vision module, the radiation source at the center of the necrotic sarcoma is grasped at once.

"An unknown DNA sequence was detected, the diagnostic program started..."

"Diagnosis is complete, confirm suitable Zerg."

"Reorganize the genetic structure, genetic level b, unlock the research tree, technology level 2, unlock the building'Infection Abyss'."

"The life energy is collected, the number is 80. The rare element is collected, the number is 25."

"Huh?" Tang Fang was stunned. It's not a unit of StarCraft 1? "One-eyed Tai Sui" is absolutely inseparable from the ts-001 specimen, logically speaking. The Zerg technology of the StarCraft 1 era should be unlocked. The previous unlocking of the explosive mosquito has also confirmed this rule, but why is now unlocking the Infected Abyss of StarCraft 2.

Also, what's the matter with the amount of resources collected that is tasteless and discarded, 80 crystals and 25 gas? What about the beggar? I risked my life to smash with it for more than half an hour. In the end, tmd gave 80 crystals of 25 gas. Isn't it funny?

"Emma, ​​I need an explanation." Tang Fang tried to suppress his resentment.

This battle consumed 22 Goliath armed robots, 25 Viking fighters, 2 siege tanks, 5 stalkers, 1 high-level templar, 12 fanatics, 2 mechanical sentries, 1 Taiwan immortals consume thousands of gas resources in total. As a result, such a behemoth only gave 80 crystals and 25 gas. Can he not get angry?

"Commander, according to the experience of the Northern Suburb Research Institute of Rector, the phagocytic gene aggregates parasitized by the ts-001 specimen do not have high resources, and most of the energy values ​​extracted by the system come from the parasites."

"Huh?" After listening to Emma's explanation, Tang Fang recalled the experience of the Beijiao Research Institute. After the parasite slug of specimen ts-001 unlocked the ground thorn from StarCraft 1, the system only collected 180 after the parasite died. Life energy. According to Emma's explanation, the source of the 180 life energy should be slugs.

Does this mean that after the death of "One-eyed Tai Sui", the 80 crystals and 25 gas collected by the system did not come from the big guy, but its parasitic matrix.

There are not many creatures that can provide gas resources!

After finding that there was no danger inside the necrotic sarcoma, Tang Fang grabbed the radiation source and pulled it out, and a group of small creatures resembling the original form of "Tai Sui" appeared in his vision.

Looking up and down at the weird creatures that look like jellyfish, they thought about it, and summoned a nurse, mm, to use the special storage and storage equipment used by the Terran to store Zerg's biological samples in StarCraft, and keep it dying under the impact of the particle stream. He believed that Valentin must be interested in these two things.

Next, check the nearby area and confirm that all the tissues and organs with swallowing properties of "One-eyed Tai Sui" are all necrotic, Tang Fang turns his attention to the system space, selects a worker bee, presses the "Advanced Hatching" hotkey, and then selects infection In the abyss, direct the worker bees to swipe the fungus blanket.

The huge hatching sac squirmed for a moment, and the capsule ruptured with a "click". Looking at the completion of the infection abyss that looked a bit like a crab, Tang Fang felt that he was a bit hypocritical.

A new unit "Explosive Mosquito", a new building "Infected the Abyss", if it can be exchanged for resources. Not to mention consuming thousands of gas, even tens of thousands, he would not frown.

After the completion of the infection abyss. Two new units will be unlocked, the infected and the swarm host!

The infected person is a cunning and cunning creature. These aliens derived from Bobu females are no longer like single life forms-they are more like crawling insect nests. Unlike most Zerg creatures. Infected persons can move while burrowing. These terrifying giant worms will spray malignant plague infectious liquid at the target, causing serious negative effects. They can also swallow mutant creatures into their stomachs, and when they enter the battlefield, they spit out these corrupted humans to fight for the swarm. Neural parasitism may be the most dangerous ability of the infected person. There is a kind of parasite in the infected person's body. Once these parasites invade the enemy's nervous tissue, they can control the enemy's thoughts in a short time.

The body tissues of an infected person differ according to their functions. It can be subdivided into 5 major components:

First, the parasitic sting needle. The only function of this flexible appendage is to pierce a natural or artificial shell and inject a neuroparasite directly into the victim's nervous system. Although this kind of non-fixed form and multiportal parasite cannot survive in other organisms for too long, it is still regarded as the signature magic skill of the infected.

Second, the fungal carapace, a reinforced carapace composed of assimilated moss and fungal substances can resist enemy fire and potential predators. This strange "armor" is also a weapon. An infected person can turn the inner layer of the carapace into a corrosive liquid, instantly decomposing other substances or making any objects in contact with it unable to move.

Third, dig foot. Bobb females have evolved powerful functions through evolution and adaptation. Their tough feet contain a corrosive substance that can soften the soil, allowing it to burrow into the ground in an instant. And it can walk through the ground like a cockroach upgraded with "Earth Digging Claw".

Fourth, the reservoir. As we all know, these monsters will swallow "infected human marines" as a terrible weapon. Infected marines will be stored in a thick organic cavity until the infected are expelled and used to deal with their compatriots or any target that poses a threat to the swarm.

Five, induction tentacles. These twisted sensors are only the second sensing system. But the function is more powerful. Thousands of microscopic organisms cling to these tentacles, making these biological "receptacles" the eyes and ears of the infected.

The role of the infected person in the swarm is similar to that of the human race. Protoss mechanical sentinel, a combat support magic unit, has three active attack skills: "Neural Parasitism", "Mold Breeding", and "Alienized Body Combat", as well as an auxiliary skill "Submerged Movement", and the ability to increase the initial energy value Passive skill "Pathogenic Gland". Among them, the two skills of "neural parasitism" and "pathogenic gland" must be upgraded separately in the abyss of infection. The resource consumption is ten times that of the game, 1500 crystals and 1500 gas.

After recalling the information of the infected person, Tang Fang selects a larva and presses the hot key. In the production menu, the two Zerg units, the infected insect and the swarm host, are highlighted and unlocked. The cost is the same as in the game. The former is 100 crystals and 150 gas. , Occupying a population of 2, the latter 200 crystals and 100 gas, occupying a population of 3.

Although the infected person is a ground unit and not suitable for naval warfare, it is a special insect talent that Tang Fang urgently needs. "Mold breeding" and "Alienized Body Combat" are combat skills, and their usefulness needless to say. "Nerve parasitism" is really a god-defying skill.

In past experiences, the "mime chicks" of Euglena is his unsuccessful killer. Nowadays, with the existence of infected persons, "neural parasitism" is even more weird than "mimesis larva".

What does it mean to be able to parasitize into the nervous tissue of organisms, thereby controlling their thinking and actions? Just like in Jakartapur, Clement did not confess his conspiracy with Junichi Fukui at first. It was Zhou Ai who killed the Japanese with a single knife, but he frightened the chief executive and confessed his evil deeds.

If there was an infected person at that time, would you still use coercion and intimidation? Directly a "neural parasitic" past The chief executive is afraid of whether there is a mistress Bao Xiaosan outside, how often do they come to the aunt, use the leak-proof protector Shubao or Sophie elastic body, what kind of position you like, love So Oka, Ben or Du, Lei, Si, all of their brains confessed.

Not to mention that Tang Fang can also remotely control humans parasitized by neuroparasites, and control them to do ugly things. One can imagine how valuable the infected person is.

"Well, this thing is definitely an artifact for doing bad things." Tang Fang suddenly flashed a very dirty thought, if you have the StarCraft 2 system before crossing, who will fight for the front when the infected person comes out? No matter what he is white and rich, strong women, older sisters, little loli, light, mature women, even celebrity models, high-ranking officials forbidden, don't you just want to do that.

"This is not the time for yy." With a grin for a long time, Tang Fang shook his head vigorously, and then moved the cursor to the "Insect Swarm Host".

The swarm host does not possess weapons, but can hatch a troop by itself. The swarm host is born from the abyss of infection. It can incubate a parasitic symbiont called "locust" and attack nearby enemies with strong acid saliva. This creeping monster can escape to the surface to hatch seemingly endless ferocious biochemical monsters, usually used as a defensive unit. However, the disadvantage of being unable to move after hiding makes the swarm host not conducive to dealing with fast units with range attacks. (To be continued)
