I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Fortunately, the enemy was dealt with. Otherwise, if the fusion missiles had come, Kerrigan would have been worried that the enemy might have destroyed the entire military platform. In response, Kerrigan also dispatched the Eye Bugs and Xenomorphs to patrol the Hive and the troops to prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack.

Meanwhile, the Empire, upon discovering that the Ghost agents sent to launch the raid had lost signal, immediately dispatched air force to bomb them. At the same time, they sent out another Ghost agent team to investigate how the previous Ghost agent team had disappeared without a trace. Logically speaking, the Zerg should not have strong concealment methods. After all, for Imperial soldiers, the Zerg only know how to dig holes and have no other means of concealment.

However, they overlooked one point: Yuhaka's Licat squad. Mebius did not inform the Imperial commander about Yuhaka and the Licat squad, as he was busy preparing for a large-scale experiment and had little time to share information with the other party.

The Imperial commander was also tricked by Mebius.

Faced with the enemy's air force, the air forces of Yhaka and Kerrigan also began to join the battle. Due to the appearance of the Primal Celestials and Primal Celestials, the Imperial Air Force was caught off guard. After all, they had never seen Zerg that flew like rockets before. Moreover, these Zerg could also carry out melee attacks and release biological weapons that resembled missiles. The Imperial Air Force suffered a great loss as a result.

Soon, the ground offensive also unfolded rapidly. Taking advantage of the spore mist, the Imperial forces' siege tanks were basically unable to find a target to attack, so they could only fire indiscriminately. However, even so, after Yhaka and her Primal Brainworms and Primal Spirit Beasts in the spore mist deployed huge psionic shields and ethereal fields, the enemy's offensive was greatly weakened. This allowed Yhaka and her team to approach the enemy's front line with minimal losses.

Once they had reached a sufficient distance, Kerrigan and Ehka's troops began their charge.

First to charge out were Kerrigan's Leaping Bugs. These Zerglings moved much faster on the ground than other Zerg units. Closely following behind were Kerrigan's Ultralisks. Due to their smaller size, these little creatures were also much faster. When these ferocious, beast-like Zerg troops charged into the enemy ranks, the Imperial forces were thrown into chaos.

After all, seeing how tough those little Thunder Beasts were, withstanding a lot of attacks, made them feel quite troubled. Not to mention the long-range fire support from the rear of the Zerg swarm, which also gave these unlucky guys a real headache. Their own siege tanks, on the other hand, could not relieve their pressure, but instead added to it. After all, siege tanks are notorious for killing their own teammates. Even with technologies like smart shells, the army's tension about the indiscriminate bombardment of siege tanks could not be reduced.

Soon, Kerrigan leaped out of the spore mist and pierced through a ground-based War Wolf mech. Then, she used her psionic powers to swirl up the surrounding objects, blasting them away like cannonballs, clearing out a significant portion of the area.

Then, a large number of airdrop pods began to appear in the sky, dropping reinforcements in this direction. Because they were dropped from the rails, the airdrop pods had a certain destructive power, easily smashing a position into pieces. The Zerg that emerged from the airdrop pods also began to attack the surrounding Imperial facilities or troops, and the Imperial forces' defenses almost collapsed.

While the Imperial forces' Titan mechs and Super Warriors could hold their own against Kerrigan's Zerg swarm, unfortunately, the addition of Ehaka has made it difficult for the Titan mechs and Super Warriors to withstand the combined attack of Ehaka and Kerrigan's Zerg forces, no matter how strong they are.

In no time, after the front-line defenses completely collapsed, Jhaka and Kerrigan's Zerg swarm launched a full-scale attack on the last stronghold. Undoubtedly, the last line of defense was in grave danger under the onslaught of Kerrigan and Jhaka's F2A offensive. Subsequently, Jhaka led the Likat squad to carry out a decapitation strike against the Imperial command on the military platform. The entire Imperial defense line lost its command and began to fly around aimlessly like headless flies. In no time, the Zerg swarm had taken over the entire military platform.

After dealing with the Empire's military platform, Kerrigan and Ehka reunited and began preparing to head towards the next level of the laboratory.

Volume 2 [StarCraft II: Back to Home]: Chapter 1843 [Armed Doll]

At the former Imperial Platform Command Post, the corpses of Imperial Command members lay motionless on the ground. Surrounding them stood the Ricard squad under Yhaka's command, their backs stained with blood from Ricard claws, indicating they had just eliminated these Imperial Command members. As Kerrigan and Stukov approached, Kerrigan looked at Yhaka, who was sitting in a commander's chair eating potato chips, and asked, "Yhaka, are all the commanders here?"

Hearing Kerrigan's question, Yhaka nodded in agreement. Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Kerrigan said nothing more. Storkov, standing nearby, looked at the scene with surprise and said, "It's truly unbelievable. I originally thought it would take us several days to capture this military platform, but we conquered the entire Empire in less than a day. It's simply unbelievable..."

Stukov was quite surprised that Kerrigan and Yhwach had taken this heavily fortified position of the Terran Empire in just half a day. Kerrigan, standing nearby, also spoke up, "No, I don't think it can be that simple. After all, the hybrids haven't appeared yet. What's going on?"

Upon hearing Kerrigan's question, Stukov stroked his chin and looked down at his feet, saying, "Perhaps those hybrids haven't moved out for no apparent reason, which is why we can't easily take this place. I'm not entirely sure about that either, since I've spent a lot of time in the lab and it's hard to know much. The only way is to go down and see what's going on, but I personally feel like this is a trap."

Kerrigan felt the same way about Stukov; after all, why didn't the other side use the hybrid form?

Even so, Kerrigan still planned to go down and investigate. If those hybrids weren't dealt with, the upcoming battle against Korhal would be much more difficult.

After preparing, Kerrigan, Yuhaka, and Stukov launched an attack on the underground laboratory. Since the command center outside had fallen, they encountered little resistance on their way to the laboratory entrance. After all, they were just a bunch of headless flies, and dealing with them was quite simple, at least for now.

With a loud bang, the closed laboratory door was blasted away by Kerrigan's kinetic energy impact. The metal door scraped against the ground with a screeching sound as Kerrigan and her team entered. Seeing the laboratory hall completely empty, Kerrigan frowned. Clearly, she suspected something was wrong; the absence of enemy guards made her wonder if the enemy had escaped.

However, before Kerrigan could even figure out why, a girl with long green hair suddenly appeared on the large screen in the laboratory hall.

"Good afternoon, little mice. Welcome to Skiggel's Lab. I am the second manager of this lab—Mebius."

Hearing the sound coming from the speakers on the big screen, Kerrigan and the others looked up at Mebius on the screen. Kerrigan was a little surprised to see Mebius, as she hadn't expected the girl in front of her to be Mebius. Overall, she was much younger than she had believed.

However, Kerrigan's first impression of Mebius was that she didn't seem like a normal person, which made Kerrigan more wary of her. After all, Kerrigan didn't think that a simple little girl could sit in the second-in-command position in the second most heavily guarded laboratory in the Empire.

“That’s her, Kerrigan. Be careful. Although she looks young, what she creates is no simple thing.”

Hearing Stukov's words, Kerrigan nodded slightly to indicate that she understood. After all, Kerrigan's personal intuition also told her that this snake-like Mebius posed a potential threat.

Seeing the wary looks on Kerrigan and the others' faces, Möbius chuckled in the lab and said, "Oh, don't be so nervous~ I'd like you guys to help me with a little experiment from now on~"

In response to Mebius's words, Kerrigan unleashed a kinetic energy blast that destroyed the large screen. Looking at the wrecked screen, she said, "I don't have time to play games with kids."

Mebius, in the lab, wasn't angry about Kerrigan destroying the large screen. After all, it was just a screen; Mebius could still see Kerrigan and the others through the lab's cameras, and the lab's broadcasting equipment was more than enough for Mebius to use to mock her.

Most importantly, Mebius saw the shadowy figure next to Kerrigan. Clearly, the figure was the Dark Templar who was cooperating with the Zerg. At this moment, Mebius also realized a problem: why was the Dark Templar in front of him so short?

When he first encountered Yhaka, Mebius didn't notice this, but now that there were other people present, Mebius realized that this Dark Templar was actually a little shorter than him. This made Mebius wonder, would the Protoss send out a young Dark Templar?

Mebius was filled with doubts as he thought about this, but he quickly dismissed these thoughts, since the experiment was the most important thing. Mebius turned to look at the short girl next to him, who looked like a little dwarf. Although she looked human, in terms of body proportions, she looked more like a chibi character, and she was also very cute. Her long, curly golden hair and the ahoge on her head gave her a cute doll-like feel.

Wearing a futuristic, form-fitting protective suit, equipped with technological gear on her limbs, and cat-ear headphones further accentuated her adorable charm.

Of course, don't be fooled by how cute they are. They were actually the main force of the grassroots troops that resisted the Honkai frenzy. In the struggle between humanity and the Honkai in that era, humanity's strength was exhausted, and human life became the most precious resource.

Preserving humanity's strength became a major headache for scientists at that time. They planned to develop an autonomous weapon to help humanity resist the Honkai war and reduce human casualties. In response, a project called "Equipment:Living Form" was born.

Combat robots are automatically generated by combining a mimicry core made of Soul Steel with weapons and equipment. Once manufactured, these combat robots inherit the data of the weapons and equipment, making them combat-experienced warriors the moment they are completed.

Therefore, these combat robots are also known as "armed dolls".

Each armed puppet possesses independent, basic thinking abilities and requires virtually no human commands. Each puppet can react accordingly to the battlefield environment. Furthermore, their AI networks are interconnected. Through this characteristic, the entire armed puppet army is a replica of a swarm of insects, learning and evolving in battle to become even more powerful.

Well, although this powerful autonomous puppet army defeated the Honkai frenzy, it also suffered heavy losses. As for what happened afterward, Mebius wasn't very clear, but the place of origin of the armed puppets was swallowed up by the pseudo-black hole created by the Ninth Herrscher, leaving only some technological remnants in the Firemoth database, including the armed puppets.

Möbius looked at the armed dummy in front of him and gave her the order: "Go and prepare, it's time to welcome our guests~"

Upon hearing Möbius's order, the armed puppet nodded to show it understood and then left Möbius's laboratory. Möbius did not imbue the armed puppets with too many emotions, since emotions could potentially lead to some unnecessary problems.

Mebius also designed these armed dolls to be used as cold-blooded and ruthless combat robots, well... that was their original purpose.

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

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

Kerrigan and her team, located in the laboratory, had the Zerg swarm set up a hive there to maintain their supply lines after they broke into the lab. At the same time, they were searching for the presence of hybrids, but for some reason, they couldn't find any. This made Kerrigan feel a sense of conspiracy.

Kerrigan looked at Stukov beside her and said, "Stukov, I can't sense any other psionic presence. Are you sure the hybrid is really here?" Stukov nodded in response to Kerrigan's question, saying, "Yes, I'm quite certain the hybrid was here, but for some reason, it's become very quiet. I feel something's wrong; it might have been moved."

Upon hearing Skotov's words, Kerrigan realized that things were in a bad state. After all, they had come here to destroy the hybrid base and eliminate the hybrid army here, but it seemed that the other side had moved the hybrids away.

Just as Kerrigan was preparing to send the Zerg swarm to search the entire research facility, she received news that the swarm was under attack. Upon hearing this, Kerrigan used her psionic link to observe what was attacking the swarm. She then saw a group of tiny, chibi-like creatures attacking her swarm.

Upon seeing this, Kerrigan immediately wore a "subway, old man, cell phone.jpg" expression, clearly bewildered by the things attacking her Zerg swarm. What were these things?

Why does the art style feel so different?

Storkov, standing nearby, was also puzzled by Kerrigan's strange expression. After all, if an enemy were attacking one's own troops, shouldn't one have a solemn or serious expression? Why did she look at him as if she had seen something utterly incomprehensible?

Thinking this, Stukov couldn't help but ask Kerrigan, "Kerrigan, what did you see?" Hearing Stukov's words, Kerrigan snapped out of her "subway, old man, cell phone.jpg" reverie and looked at Stukov, saying, "I... I think I saw a bunch of dolls fighting a swarm of Zerg..."

"A doll???" Upon hearing Kerrigan's answer, Stukov couldn't help but show a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding why Kerrigan would say that. Seeing Stukov's confused look, Kerrigan handed him the Eyeworm's psionic link so he could see for himself. Stukov didn't stand on ceremony; after receiving the Eyeworm's psionic link, he, like Kerrigan before him, wore a "subway, old man, cell phone.jpg" expression as he looked at the scene before him.

He saw a group of four-headed, doll-like creatures wielding Gauss rifles and riot shields, and some even using miniaturized Marauder K12 Punisher grenade launchers and Firebat plasma flamethrowers to attack the swarm.

Most importantly, behind this legion of puppets, there is also a group of medic-like puppets to provide repair services for the soldiers fighting on the front lines.

Upon witnessing this, Stukov rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "What is this thing...? It's unbelievable that scientists from the Terran Empire could create something like this..."

Kerrigan nodded in agreement with Stukov's words, saying, "Yes, although those things look like toys for children, their combat strength should not be underestimated."

Hearing their conversation, Yhaka looked at them with a puzzled expression and said, "What is this? Kerrigan, Stovov, something's weird, OwO?" "Stovov???" Stovov looked at Yhaka with a similarly confused expression, clearly not understanding why Yhaka addressed him that way. Kerrigan, however, didn't seem to care too much about Yhaka's way of addressing Stovov and instead explained to Yhaka what the Zerg swarm had encountered.

Hearing Kerrigan's words, Yhaka seemed quite interested and decided to investigate.

Volume 2 [StarCraft II: Back to Your Hometown, Youyou]: Chapter 1844 [Youyou Emptys Your Warehouse]

Upon hearing Yhaka's words, Kerrigan entrusted the matter to him. At this point, Kerrigan felt it was more important to find the hybrids first, and thus delegated the frontline tasks to Yhaka.

When Yhaka returned to his frontline position, Zagara was directing the Zerg swarm to defend against the attacks of the Armed Dolls. Although the Zerg swarm should be able to effectively defend against the enemy's attacks with its continuous supply, unfortunately, the Armed Dolls also had this advantage. Thanks to their small size, the Armed Dolls could be produced quickly and could fight the Zerg swarm as soon as they were produced. In addition, the fact that their AI networks could be linked together allowed them to quickly adapt to the battle against the Zerg swarm.

When Zagara saw Yhaka return, he looked at her and said, "The Queen told me that in the upcoming battle, I will assist you and learn from you. I must remind you first that these small creatures are stronger than those humans, and they are attacking our defenses continuously along with the swarm. It won't be long before they break through our first line of defense."

Upon hearing Zagara's words, Yhwach also glanced at the Zerg swarm and armed puppets engaged in battle in the distance. Zagara's side was using a combination of Leap Bugs, Hunter Bugs (a variant of Banelings), and Corpse Bugs (a variant of Roach). The units Zagara used were the same ones chosen by Kerrigan, and Zagara had indeed made the same choice.

Seeing this, Yuhaka couldn't help but look at Zagara standing to the side and ask, "Why not try a different OwO? Yuhaka remembers that Abathur has a lot of different essences, right?"

Zagara looked puzzled upon hearing Yhaka's words and said, "Why change? The Queen has been using these Zerg swarms to conquer many places, and they've been very effective."

After hearing Zagara's answer, Yuhaka also pointed out that the armed puppets now seem to have adapted to the swarm attack strategy, and have targeted attacks against the leaping bugs and hunting bugs. However, the corpse bugs need corpses to parasitize, which makes the armed puppets made of soul steel seem a bit ridiculous.

After hearing Yhwach's explanation, Zagara realized something. Seeing this, Zagara contacted Abathur via psionic link and asked Abathur to replace his Zerg army.

Abathur also replaced the essence of Zagara's hive, after which Zagara's swarm army could produce fission worms, split worms, and filthy worms. With the replacement of fission worms, Zagara's swarm could produce a large number of fission worms more quickly. After the split worms self-destruct, the remaining tissue of their bodies could turn into two smaller split worms. These smaller split worms could not split again, and the explosive power was not as strong as the original, but even so, these smaller split worms still had a certain degree of lethality.

The filthy insect, on the other hand, has a special symbiotic bacterium. This bacterium produces a sticky substance on the targets it attacks, making it difficult for the targets to move. Moreover, these bacteria may also penetrate weapons and cause damage to them.

After the troops were converted, the armed puppets were overwhelmed by the onslaught of a large number of fission insects, split insects, and filthy insects. After all, the data was different from the Zerg they had encountered before, which caused them to make mistakes in their response. Correcting these mistakes required data and time.

Meanwhile, Mebius noticed that the enemy had suddenly started using swarm classification data that had not been used on the military platform before, which made it impossible for the armed puppets to use the previous methods to deal with the swarm in combat.

Seeing this, Mebius quickly ordered the armed puppets to regroup. The firebat armed puppets, equipped with heavy armor and plasma flamethrowers, then used their flamethrowers to roast the swarm of insects.

However, the attack of the filthy insects made it difficult for the firebat armed puppets to move. Some of the firebat armed puppets experienced weapon malfunctions. Seeing this, Mebius quickly realized that the insects, which resembled cockroach variants, had special abilities that could hinder the enemy's movement and mechanical operation. Fortunately, the armed puppets were made of soul steel, and their nanomachine structure was not easily penetrated, making them easy to repair. With the repairs of the medic armed puppets, the armed puppets that had been having difficulty moving were quickly restored to normal and resumed fighting.

Even so, the increasing size of the Zerg swarm is becoming more and more obvious.

On Yhaka's side, the Zerg swarm forces, at Yhaka's suggestion, began to grow at an extremely rapid pace. However, this also brought up a problem: resources. After all, the Zerg swarm doesn't hatch Zerg from the air, so they needed crystal mines to provide the hatchery with the "nutrients" to hatch Zerg units.

Of course, biomass is not a problem, but the problem is that these armed puppets are made of nanobots. It is difficult to use the remains of these armed puppets as "nutrients". After all, those armed puppets will drag away the remains of their fallen companions. Of course, it is not to bury the remains of their companions, but to recycle the remains as resources for new armed puppets.

This makes it somewhat difficult for the insect swarm to obtain resources.

However, this was not a difficult task for Yuhaka. After taking out her tablet, Yuhaka began to access the structural design drawings of the laboratory. Through these drawings, Yuhaka also learned the location of the enemy's warehouse. From there, Yuhaka and her team could obtain enough resources to hatch the swarm and also deplete the enemy's inventory.

With this in mind, Yhaka also planned to lead the Primal Zerg to raid the enemy's resource warehouse. To this end, Yhaka used the Primal Overlord clone to lead Zagara's Zerg swarm to hinder the enemy, while he himself went to raid the enemy's warehouse.

After arranging the plan, Yhaka told Zagara about it. Upon hearing Yhaka's plan, Zagara's eyes lit up and he said, "I see. Attacking the enemy's resource points is also a good plan. This way, the enemy can produce enough troops."

"Mmm, so Yuu went to steal her butt, OwOd~" Hearing Zagara's words, Yuhka gave her a thumbs up, looking like she was a quick learner, and said that Zagara was really smart. Hearing Yuhka's praise, Zagara said smugly, "Of course~"

Despite their boasting, Yhaka and Zagara immediately sprang into action. As Yhaka's clone, the Primal Overlord, emerged from the hatching pool, Yhaka let out a terrifying roar. With the roar, several centaur-like Primal Zerg emerged from the pool. These Primal Zerg had sturdy and wide carapaces, making them look like they had giant shields growing on their bodies.

These primitive Zerg are the Tyrant Guardians of the Tyrant race. These Tyrant Guardians are bodyguards specifically designed to protect important Zerg command nodes such as the Hive Tyrant and the Swarm Overlord. Their tough armor can withstand light fire, while heavy fire may damage them, but they have regenerative abilities similar to cockroaches, so there is basically no need to worry about this problem.

Moreover, they are quite powerful in combat. Their forelimbs have huge tearing claws that can rip apart armored vehicles, while their arms can hold a bone blade and a biological whip, or they can choose to use crushing pincers and sickle claws.

Eohaka chose bone blades and biological whips for the Primal Tyrant Guardians. After all, Eohaka's main role with the Primal Tyrant Guardians was not to protect himself, but to prevent unforeseen situations from occurring. At the same time, it also made Eohaka more attractive. After all, seeing a terrifying guy surrounded by several monsters that looked like bodyguards would easily attract Mebius's attention, right?

This is also part of a plan to make it easier for the clones to act.

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

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

Kerrigan and Skorov were puzzled because they didn't see the hybrid at the original location of the laboratory. However, Kerrigan and Skorov decided to break into the laboratory first. No matter how fast the enemy was, they couldn't escape from here. After all, the entire planet was surrounded by the Zerg swarm. If the enemy tried to escape, the Zerg swarm on the periphery would sense it, and Kerrigan would rush over as quickly as possible to eliminate it.

As Kerrigan and Stukov returned, Yhaka's true form began heading towards the laboratory's storage warehouse. After all, in her stealth state, even Mebius would have difficulty detecting Yhaka's presence, let alone the armed puppets that were patrolling.

Looking at the armed dolls walking around in front of him, Yuhaka had an "OwO~" expression on his face as he looked at the little things. To be honest, Yuhaka felt that these little things could provide good assistance to Yulis's church. However, the only problem was that Yuhaka was not sure where the data for these little things was. After all, the data found in the previous laboratory did not contain this thing, which puzzled Yuhaka. However, it should be in this laboratory now.

Thinking about all this, Yuhaka scratched his head with his big tail, wondering if the other party would put the data of the armed doll into the database.

Yuhaka will have to see how things go, but his main task right now is to check out the enemy's warehouse.

Following the lab map, Yuhaka arrived at the crystal ore warehouse. Inside, he saw numerous robots transporting various materials and crystals to other locations. Without hesitation, Yuhaka used his tablet to close the warehouse door.

As the gate closed, the transport robots crashed headfirst into it, while the robots behind crashed into the back of the robots in front. Watching the robots foolishly collide, Yuhaka gave the unfortunate robots an "OwO~" look and said, "Idiots."

Then, Yuhaka stretched out his little hand towards the robots and squeezed them into the shape of a large iron ball. After finishing this move, Yuhaka clapped his little hand and pushed the large iron ball into the imaginary space. Then, Yuhaka turned his attention to the large amount of crystal ore and various metal materials on the side.
