I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Mebius had no intention of investigating the large hole in the ground; after all, wasn't there a scene in the movie where a character went to check the hole the monster had made, only to be dragged down by the monster?

Well, I saw this in a horror movie by Danzhu... Of course, personally, Mebius thinks that unfortunate character deserved it, since doing something like face-checking into bushes without any protection is practically suicide.

Before Mebius could make any move, he saw something crawling out of the hole. Accompanied by a figure shrouded in black mist, Mebius couldn't help but think of a demon crawling out of hell.

After the other party crawled out, Mebius did get a clear look at what the other party looked like. Well... to be precise, he didn't get a clear look, since the other party was completely shrouded in a thick black mist. The only difference was that the eyes emitted a red light, flashing a dangerous signal.

Of course, it wasn't just like that on the surface. The sensors on Mebius's clone couldn't lock onto the enemy's location either. Even the nano dust he scattered couldn't attach to the opponent, as if the figure in front of him was just a phantom.

Seeing this, Mebius felt something was very wrong. The guy in front of him didn't seem to be a Dark Templar of Nerazim, which made Mebius very strange. Could it be someone from another Protoss faction? Or was it a special Zerg?

Before Mebius could even think of anything, he suddenly noticed that the person in front of him had vanished. Without a second thought, Mebius quickly looked around to see where the other person had appeared. Before he could even spot them, he felt a chill from behind. Mebius immediately crouched down, manipulating his floating briefcase. Instantly, a sharp, crimson-black psionic blade swung down from above his head, clearly slicing off a portion of his crown-like headdress.

Seeing this, Mebius was somewhat relieved that he hadn't created his clone in the body of his original adult. Otherwise, this strange attack would have been enough to cut off his clone's head. After dodging the decapitation attack, Mebius swung the mechanical tentacles behind him in an attempt to knock the opponent away. Unfortunately, Mebius didn't feel the mechanical tentacles hitting anything.

The next instant, Mebius saw his opponent appear in front of him, with a crimson-black light flashing on the opponent's arm, indicating that the enemy was a psionic blade user. Although Mebius did not see the gauntlet worn by the opponent's psionic blade, he did not think that anyone would use such a psionic blade.

The only thing that puzzled Mebius was that Nerazim's psionic blade should be emerald green, so why was the opponent's psionic blade an ominous reddish-black color? Mebius couldn't understand what kind of psionic energy could produce such an ominous color.

Regardless, Mebius showed no intention of retreating. After all, it was a clone controlled from a distance, and even if it was destroyed, Mebius wasn't worried about anything happening to him. Moreover, Mebius also intended to obtain more data from the clone.

As the approaching shadowy figure charged forward, Mebius aimed the cross-shaped weapon behind him at the target. The weapon then automatically activated its mechanism, unleashing a torrent of electricity like serpents towards Yhaka. However, Yhaka, concealing his identity, completely ignored this and charged towards the enemy, letting the lightning sparks dance across his body before being absorbed by him.

Mebius's eyes widened at the sight. Clearly, this was something she hadn't expected. She hadn't anticipated that the other party could absorb electrical energy. Of course, this wasn't ordinary electricity; it was an electric current that could reduce the target's resistance to electricity. It was one of the attack weapons she had specifically developed to target the Zerg.

However, it seems to be of no use now.

Facing the charging shadow, Mebius also thrust his mechanical tentacles at Yhaka. Yhaka swung his psionic blade and instantly sliced ​​off the spear-like tentacles, closing in on Mebius. However, Mebius didn't seem nervous at the approaching Yhaka; instead, he wore a cold smile. Seeing Mebius's expression, Yhaka realized something was wrong.

At this moment, Yuhaka sensed an expanding energy in the other's chest. Then, in Yuhaka's vision, a mechanical structure opened up on Möbius's chest like a blooming flower, revealing a small reactor inside Möbius's body. Through Yuhaka's perception, he could see that the energy in that reactor was becoming increasingly violent.

The next second, a huge explosion rang out in the laboratory. Yuhaka, caught in the explosion, had an "OwO? ???" look on his face, clearly not understanding why the other party would suddenly self-destruct. After all, for Yuhaka, self-destruction should be the last resort, right? Why did it suddenly explode? This puzzled Yuhaka greatly. However, in the end, Yuhaka just shrugged and left the place.

As for Yuhaka, now that he has the information, there shouldn't be any problem handing it over to Yulis.

...............................................

...............................................

Meanwhile, in Mebius's laboratory, Mebius seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after removing the device from his head. After all, he had felt quite nervous during the battle with the unknown shadowy figure. Although he didn't know if the opponent's ability would affect his consciousness, he figured that as long as he self-destructed or transferred his consciousness beforehand, there wouldn't be any major problems.

But then Mebius thought about what the other party had investigated before, which she didn't quite understand. Why would the other party want to look at data on human technology? Could it be that they were gathering intelligence?

Thinking about this, Mebius also felt it was possible. After all, the technology level of a Protoss far surpassed that of humans, so Mebius did not believe that the other party was there to steal technology.

Of course, Mebius didn't expect that those techniques would be seen in the later Battle of Khar.

Volume 2 [StarCraft II: Back to Home]: Chapter 1841 [Super Soldiers and Primal Megalodons]

After Yhaka evacuated from the laboratory, she rejoined the Licat team. Upon reuniting, Yhaka noticed that the Licat team members were holding containers, which contained Zerg essence. These items were not of much use to Yhaka and her team, but they could be given to Abathur. Abathur could analyze what these things were and extract usable components.

After Yhaka and the others returned, Yhaka handed over the intelligence they had obtained to Kerrigan. After receiving the experimental data from the Empire's secret research, Kerrigan couldn't help but frown. After all, Kerrigan discovered that the technology used by the other side was technology that the Empire had never had before, and some of it was technology specifically designed to deal with the Zerg. Seeing this, Kerrigan felt that the other side had a lot of hidden methods.

The good news is that the Zerg essence that Yuhaka and her team brought back was the essence of the Thunder Beasts. These behemoths are especially useful when facing charging enemies. However, the only problem is that this Thunder Beast essence is not complete, and the Thunder Beasts that hatch from it will only be small individuals, probably not even as big as the Destroyer.

Even so, these miniature Thunder Beasts possess hard shells and sharp monomolecular blades. Moreover, due to their smaller size, the resources and time required for incubation are also reduced, which is acceptable to Kerrigan. Using these shrunken Thunder Beasts against enemy mechs is perfectly appropriate.

While Kerrigan was defending against the Terran Empire's attack, she was also hatching a large number of small Thunder Beasts to prepare for use against the enemy.

Meanwhile, the commander of the Terran Empire was inspecting the test subjects of the Super Soldier Project. Looking at these guys who were over 2 meters tall and had incredibly strong muscles, the commander was very satisfied. The scientist next to him was explaining some information and precautions about these tall and strong guys to the commander.

“Yes, Commander, this batch consists of participants in our Super Soldier Program.” The scientist continued speaking to the Imperial Commander while swiping the tablet in his hand: “These super soldiers, after undergoing various surgeries and implanting mechanical organs and nanomachines, possess unbelievable strength, reaction speed, agility, and tough physique.”

As he spoke, the scientist handed the tablet to the Imperial Commander standing beside him and explained, "Because these soldiers have emotion-suppressing chips installed in their brains, these super soldiers will not experience morale collapse."

Upon hearing the scientist's words, the Imperial Commander expressed great satisfaction with the surgery, saying, "This surgery is excellent. When dealing with the Zerg, the morale of the lower-ranking soldiers is too easily broken."

Unlike in the game, the morale of Terran soldiers is very low when faced with a large swarm of Zerg charging forward. Seeing a large group of Zerg advancing into the defensive line, unless they are soldiers with a strong will, most of the inexperienced recruits would retreat or even run away.

It's important to understand that there are no commanders supervising the battle on one side of the Terran Empire's front line, making it virtually impossible for them to execute those who try to escape.

Then, the Imperial Commander, looking at the large pile of incomprehensible objects in his hand, asked the scientist beside him, "By the way, what are the weapons and equipment of these super soldiers like?"

Regarding this issue, the scientist explained to the Imperial Commander, "Commander, you need to ask the technicians at the armory about this. Weapons and equipment are not projects we are responsible for."

Upon hearing the scientist's words, the Imperial Commander's lips twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything. After all, he was very familiar with the bureaucratic situation of the Empire. As long as it was a problem that his department couldn't manage, they wouldn't bother with it.

In response, the Imperial Commander had no choice but to personally visit the armory. After answering the Imperial Commander's questions, the technicians at the armory led him to a manufacturing workshop. There, the Imperial Commander saw a large number of new weapons and equipment, which were heavy firepower weapons that only combat robots could carry. The protective suits used by the super soldiers were also improved versions of the CMC armor suits used by oversized marines.

Through multiple modifications, this modified CMC armor suit not only provides more robust protection than the original CMC armor suit used by Marines, but also features a new miniaturized reactor that provides sufficient power to enable these super soldiers to unleash their formidable combat capabilities.

Upon hearing the technicians' explanation, the Imperial Commander nodded. Compared to those complex scientific concepts, he could understand these things. However, he thought that due to being too hasty, other weapons and equipment for the super soldiers had not been developed, resulting in very limited weaponry.

Upon hearing this news, the Imperial commander couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. If the Zerg had arrived any later, they might have been able to resolve the issue of weapons and equipment for the super soldiers, but now, they had no other choice.

After the super soldiers changed into their equipment, the Imperial Commander could see that they had become even taller and more imposing after being equipped with power armor. With heavy machine guns like Gatling guns and sturdy shields in their hands, the Imperial Commander felt that they were like raiders.

However, according to research reports, these super soldiers are more agile and faster than the raiders, so there is basically no need to worry about them being slow.

After everything was arranged, the Imperial Commander ordered a group of super soldiers to join the mechanized forces of siege tanks and Titan mechs to break into the enemy's position. If necessary, they were to destroy the enemy's venomous creatures to prevent them from creating infected creatures.

..........................................

..........................................

The scene shifts back to Ehaka and her team. After Ehaka obtained the intelligence and Zerg essence in the lab, Kerrigan began to prepare defenses against the units that might appear in the intelligence. After all, this enemy was proving to be quite troublesome for Kerrigan, forcing her to make careful preparations. In other words, she couldn't just recklessly charge in; she needed to use her brain to fight.

At that very moment, Kerrigan received a message from the Eyebugs that they had detected the enemy's presence and that the enemy was now rushing towards the Zerg hive.

Upon hearing this news, Kerrigan raised an eyebrow. The enemy seemed eager to crush her forces and appeared quite confident. Kerrigan decided to teach them a lesson.

"Abathur, hatch those little Thunder Beasts. I'll lead those little creatures to crush the enemy forces." Kerrigan then turned to Yhwach and said, "Yhwach, send your big guys over here to destroy the enemy's attack force."

"Okay OwO~" Upon hearing Kerrigan's words, Yhaka also went to prepare to call some big guys to start the operation. After all, it wouldn't be good to just eat and drink for free in his Leviathan.

The scene then shifts back to the Imperial assault forces. Once the Imperial assault forces reach the defensive line near the Zerg hive, the siege tanks switch to siege mode, using their extremely long range to destroy the Zerg swarm's defensive biological structures.

Faced with the enemy's attack, the Zerg swarm also sent out Destroyers to engage in long-range fire. While the 180mm siege cannons and plasma cannons were exchanging fire, Yhaka's Primal Plasma Cannon Bugs were also ready to attack. In the heat of the battle, Yhaka's Primal Plasma Cannon Bugs launched a barrage of attacks on the enemy's position.

The Imperial siege tanks were caught off guard by the barrage launched by Yhaka's Primal Plasma Cannon Bugs, as they were suddenly attacked from another direction, which made them a little panicked.

However, the Imperial commanders also ordered a portion of their forces to attack the primitive Zerg in order to prevent their siege tanks from being quickly destroyed. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong enemy.

As the ground shook violently, the squad leader of the attack force sent to attack Yhaka's Primal Plasma Cannon Bugs looked puzzled. However, he didn't dwell on it for long and began to order his troops to approach Yhaka's Primal Plasma Cannon Bugs under the cover of buildings.

But they made a wrong decision.

As a colossal figure burst forth from the spore mist, a primitive Zerg with an enormous mouth charged toward the Imperial attack squad. Upon seeing the suddenly appearing Zerg with its massive mouth, the Imperial squad launched an attack, but its carapace effectively withstood the incoming fire. In a brief opening, the Zerg with the enormous mouth opened its massive jaws toward the Imperial attack squad. Seeing the enormous mouth before them, even the soldiers, except for the super soldiers, were stunned. Clearly, they hadn't expected the behemoth's mouth to open so wide; the behemoth's entire body appeared a size larger.

Before anyone could react, a thick, long tongue with claws suddenly shot out of the giant beast's mouth and flew towards the Imperial squad. One of the raiders, caught off guard, was grabbed and pulled away.

As the giant beast pulled the raider into its mouth, its enormous jaws closed, and a crunching sound came from inside, indicating that the creature was chewing something.

The soldiers who witnessed this scene were immediately filled with fear, while the super soldiers were completely oblivious, launching relentless and fierce attacks on the enemy. The giant-mouthed protozoan, annoyed by the onslaught, raised its massive pincers and smashed them down on the super soldiers without hesitation. However, the super soldiers reacted quickly and dodged the giant-mouthed protozoan's attack.

The giant-mouthed protozoan wasn't surprised to see this, but its attention was drawn to the agile super soldiers. In the meantime, the Imperial attack squad also snapped out of its daze and launched an attack on the giant-mouthed protozoan, trying to defeat it.

Unfortunately, this is not the only primitive alien insect here.

As more of the giant mouths appeared, the Imperial attack squads realized that their firepower was insufficient to deal with them, and after reporting the intelligence, they began to retreat.

Meanwhile, the giant-mouthed primitive insects relentlessly pursued them. However, under Yuhaka's command, the giant-mouthed primitive insects turned away and stopped chasing them, since their leader's orders were the most important.

Yuhaka looked at the Primal Zerg with their enormous mouths and stroked his chin. Although the previous battle was a bit short, these Primal Zerg had played a very good role in the Battle of Zerus. After all, the Primal Zerg, which evolved from the Megalodon of the Tyranids, were just like the original Tyranid Megalodons. They could easily drag their prey into their huge maws and then devour them. The strong corrosive stomach acid and the acid secreted by their jaws could also corrode a lot of things.

Such units can be very effective in the Zerus campaign. After all, some troublesome primitive Zerg can be dealt with simply by eating them, and the Primal Megalodon's size and carapace are tough enough that there are no problems in melee combat. The only troublesome enemy is the ranged attacker.

After all, the Primal Megalodon has limited ranged attack methods and its ability to kidnap enemies with its tongue is also extremely limited. Basically, when facing enemies that can attack from a distance and run fast, it can slowly kite the Primal Megalodon.

Soon, under the onslaught of the Primal Plasma Cannon Bugs on Yhaka's side and the Plasma Bile of the Destroyers on Abathur's side, the Imperial attack squad could only flee in disarray. After all, the large amount of spore mist on Yhaka's side greatly affected the attack range of the siege tanks, which affected the accuracy of the siege tanks in the Imperial attack squad.

Meanwhile, Kerrigan also saw the corpses of the super soldiers. After seeing the corpses, Kerrigan asked Abathur to study them. Although Kerrigan had never planned to let Abathur study humans before, she was going to make an exception this time.

Volume 2 [StarCraft II: Back to Home]: Chapter 1842 [Joint March, Imperial Military Platform Falls]

In Abathur's evolution pit, Abathur studied the corpse of the super soldier that Kerrigan brought back. After a period of research, Abathur thoroughly studied the super soldier's genes and discovered that they contained some Zerg essence. Although Abathur had genetically locked the Zerg essence, it did not mean that the enemy could not obtain inferior essence from it.

Clearly, the enemy also used these extracted, inferior essences to enhance these soldiers.

Abathur told Kerrigan about his discovery. After hearing Abathur's words, Kerrigan realized that these super soldiers were modified from inferior Zerg essence. No wonder Kerrigan felt that those super soldiers were a bit strange. However, Kerrigan had no way to control those super soldiers. Although those super soldiers had strong physical abilities, they had no psionic abilities whatsoever, making them basically impossible to control.

Of course, not all of these super soldiers are modified from the essence of the Zerg; some also have mechanical organs to provide sufficient power for their powerful physiques.

After fully understanding those super soldiers, Kerrigan also gained some understanding of those enemies, but at least she didn't have any solutions. After all, the strength of these super soldiers was manifested in their powerful physique. Kerrigan even saw a super soldier dent a Hydralisk's head with a single punch. This kind of strength was comparable to that of an ordinary Protoss Zealot.

Moreover, the opponent's reaction speed is very fast, fast enough to dodge some slower attacks. Coupled with their fearless nature, the opponent's performance on the battlefield is much stronger than those weaklings of the Terran Empire.

According to the data retrieved by Yuhaka, those super soldiers can even be given knowledge through cloning technology and some special technology, which would allow them to enter the battlefield at the fastest speed, even faster than marines.

Seeing this, Kerrigan decided to end the battle quickly. If it dragged on like this, the Imperial fleet might come to their aid, making the fight even more difficult.

As the gas supply on the Imperial Platform was about to run out, Abathur hatched a large number of small Thunder Beasts. Although they were small, their strength was not much less than before. Even though they did not have the same tall size as before, they could still cut Marines in half.

Seeing the appearance of those small Ultralisks, Kerrigan didn't know what to say. The Zerg Swarm actually needed these small Ultralisks as vanguard forces. Fortunately, Yhaka came to help this time. Otherwise, Kerrigan felt that it would be difficult for her Zerg Swarm's forces to take down this military platform. At least not now.

After the gas on the Imperial military platform was exhausted, Kerrigan began to move out again. However, this time she was not alone; Yhaka was also among them, and Yhaka's primitive Zerg army began to move out.

Moreover, among the Primal Zerg army led by Yhaka this time were Primal Zerg that released a highly toxic spore mist, which caused Kerrigan and Yhaka's Zerg swarm to be covered by a green spore mist.

The Imperial commander was dumbfounded by this scene. He hadn't expected that the spore mist could move with the swarm. However, upon closer reflection, considering the spore mist released where the swarm had landed earlier, he realized it was reasonable for the enemy to create a moving, highly toxic spore mist.

Even so, the Imperial commander wasn't going to just sit idly by. He immediately ordered his troops to prepare a bat force armed with fire weapons to burn the spores. Yes, the spores could be burned, but the only problem was that if the firepower wasn't enough, the burning speed wouldn't be as fast as the replenishment speed, and the enemy wouldn't be so foolish as to let you burn them.

"Send out the Ghost Agents! Have them drop the fusion missiles directly on the enemy's heads. Since they can't see them, burn them all!" Hearing the Imperial Commander's words, the adjutant beside him looked at the Imperial Commander and said, "Sir, if we send Ghost Agents to drop the fusion missiles, it is very likely to cause unnecessary damage to the platform. This may damage the gas emission pipes in our platform. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Upon hearing his adjutant's words, the Imperial Commander realized that this was a military platform, not solid ground. If the fusion missile were dropped, it could potentially damage the entire platform area, which would be far more serious than a simple problem.

Thinking about this, the Imperial Commander couldn't help but wonder if it was worth doing this. But soon he couldn't care less. If the Zerg swarm conquered this place, it wouldn't matter whether the platform was destroyed or not, since they would all be dead.

The Imperial commander, his face resolute, looked at his adjutant and said, "I'm certain. Send out a Ghost agent team to launch fusion missiles. In the next battle, either all the Zerg will be burned to death, or we will be wiped out by the Zerg." Seeing the determination in his superior's eyes, the adjutant didn't say much and issued the order, directing a Ghost agent team to guide the fusion missiles towards the Zerg army.

Kerrigan, looking at the Zerg army at the front line, was a little puzzled as she looked at the primitive Zerg with many tentacles floating above the Zerg forces and the huge Zerg with many tentacles on the ground. After all, why hadn't she thought of this tactic?

Kerrigan then shook her head to stop herself from overthinking, and then asked Abathur if these primitive Zerg had appeared during the Battle of Zerus. Abathur replied that these primitive Zerg that released highly toxic spores had also appeared during the Battle of Zerus, but only under the control of Yhwach's tribe.

Upon hearing Abathur's reply, Kerrigan was also quite puzzled by the terrifying nature of the Yhwach's race. After all, the primitive Zerg in the Yhwach's race were highly targeted and imitative. Kerrigan knew very well that those primitive Zerg did not develop naturally, but rather evolved specifically for hunting and warfare.

So... here's the question: why did Yhaka evolve his original Zerg swarm into killing machines just like the Zerg?

Ehka, oblivious to Kerrigan's suspicions, was observing the Ghost agents preparing for action in the distance with his powerful eyesight. Upon seeing this, Ehka couldn't help but give a bewildered "OwO?" look. He then ordered the Licarta team to move out.

Yhaka glanced at the Primal Smoke Bugs and Primal Whip Beasts standing nearby. These two Primal Zerg were also elite units of the Tyranids. Like the Primarchs, these Primal Zerg had the ability to release spores. However, unlike the Tyranids' spores, which could penetrate protective suits and armor and dissolve, the spores released by Yhaka were only highly toxic spores. Yhaka also had some of the Primal Smoke Bugs and Primal Whip Beasts release parasitic spores to prevent the enemy's protective systems from being breached. Although parasitic spores were not as lethal as highly toxic spores, they could parasitize the surface of objects and begin to grow, forming spore colonies that could disperse spores.

Soon, spores will appear all over the platform.

Soon after receiving the signal that the Licat squad had eliminated the Ghost agent squad, Yhaka ordered the Licat squad to patrol the area to prevent the enemy from sending a second Ghost agent squad to ambush them. At the same time, Yhaka jumped off the Primal Zerg nearby and went to Kerrigan to tell her what had just happened.

Upon hearing Yhaka's words, Kerrigan realized that a Ghost Squad was planning a sneak attack. As for how they would carry out the attack, Kerrigan was quite familiar with it, having been a Ghost Squad herself. She knew exactly what Ghost Squads were up to – undoubtedly, they would use fusion missiles to launch the attack.
