The giant corporations that started in Night City

[A large number of unidentified objects are falling into the atmosphere! ]

The giant enterprise troops that had just landed on a planet in an orderly manner, rested and selected a place to build a front-line base, suddenly received a reminder from the monitoring team in low-Earth orbit.

The warning from the monitoring team members made Paul, who was resting on the ground, feel like he was facing a great enemy. Although he had already prepared for the enemy, he did not expect the accident to come so quickly.

David was the first to react and asked: "Is the falling object a meteorite? Why didn't your detector detect it in advance?"

In theory, the monitoring team's detection system should not miss any information, which would make the troops on the ground very passive.

[Our detection system did not respond, and it is not ruled out that there was a malfunction. At present, we can only confirm the existence of the object through the AI ​​drone! ]

Hearing this, Paul immediately rushed to the screen. He saw countless meteors falling from the sky with long tails. At first, everyone thought it was an ordinary small meteorite.

But as the images and photos sent by the AI ​​drone became clearer, they discovered that the meteors looked more like some kind of mutated tumors.

What was even more surprising was that these tumors had ugly tentacles, and at first glance they looked like octopus creatures wandering in the space environment.

But this "space octopus" had a bloated and deformed abscess on its head, and it looked like it was highly contagious at first glance.

"This thing... how can it be so much like the Flood in the Halo universe!"

David Martinez suddenly remembered the Flood species he had seen before. He had participated in front-line combat in the Halo universe, so he naturally knew that this type of monster would most likely be contagious.

This is not good news!

"Issue a Level 1 alert order, all engineering staff return to the mothership urgently, dispatch the elite Astartes and Spartan troops, and put on the power armor for me, don't let any gaps."

"No matter what the hell that thing is, it must be controlled for me at the first time!"

David made a prompt decision, just in time to arrest a few alien species for research.

[Yes! ]

After receiving the emergency order from the flagship headquarters, Paul and others immediately put on power armor and followed the elite troops of various departments out.

At this moment, Paul, the sergeant, and Luke and others all came outside the flagship, looking at the thousands of strange tumor meteors in the sky, falling rapidly to the ground.

'What the hell is this thing, the physical strength can actually withstand the friction of the atmosphere directly. 'Paul frowned and waited for the whole process.

Immediately, one of the meteors fell into the fleet array of the giant enterprise, smashing a huge hole on the ground, and bursts of black fog rose up, exuding ominous signs.

"Captain, the density of this thing seems to be quite high. It can make such a big hole. Maybe it is some kind of semi-metal species."

Penny Wells approached cautiously, holding a hard light series rifle in his hand. He suspected that this was a mechanical biological weapon transformed by some alien life.

The landing of the fleet of the Universal Corporation attracted the attention of these biological weapons wandering in space, so they suddenly landed here.

"Be careful, don't be careless."

Before Paul finished speaking, a strange and ferocious alien suddenly jumped out of the thick black fog and pounced on Pani at lightning speed.

It was an alien species with a body length of more than two meters and a wolf-like appearance. Its front claws looked quite sharp, and its body showed purple-red flesh and strong muscles.

In addition, there were gray-white diamond thorns on the back of this alien, and two claws like mantis sickles were inserted abruptly in the front of the back.

This thing can even tear the enemy apart with the two claws on its back when running at high speed.

In short, this thing looks like a modified biological weapon, not a product of naturally evolved life.

Even though Pani took precautions in advance and fired in time, he was still knocked to the ground by the monster.

Fortunately, the MarkX power armor on his body was solid enough, and the claws on the back of the monster scratched him, only causing a few sparks, and did not tear Pani directly.

It was not until Pani pulled out the chainsaw sword and cut off the monster's head with one knife that he was able to deal with this alien species.

As Pani got up from the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner, more monsters that landed on the ground quickly crawled out of the hole, and a big battle was inevitable!

Although the number of this batch of aliens was more than Paul expected, everyone was still able to coordinate firepower in an orderly manner and quickly clear the monsters in front of them.

The soldiers of their expeditionary corps were all elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles, and they were quite experienced in dealing with such sudden events.

Under the burning beams of many hard-light rifles and the pouring of kinetic bullets, countless aliens were instantly broken and turned into piles of rotten meat scattered all over the ground.

The violent explosion set off waves of shock waves among the insect swarms, and the smelly blood and disgusting minced meat flew down like a torrential rain.

However, even in the face of such an attack, the monsters behind were still fearless and rushed towards the Astartes warriors and Spartan warriors.

Even if their limbs were broken and they only had their last breath, these aliens would still struggle to pounce on the giant enterprise warriors.

Such creatures that are completely unafraid of death can basically be confirmed to be modified biological weapons.

Just as the soldiers suppressed the charging alien with dense gunfire and rain of bullets, another even larger monster crawled out of the crater.

It was a creature with a snake-like lower body and a huge triangular shell covering the upper body. It was more than two meters tall when it stood up.

In addition, there were rows of neat and sharp spines on its head shell, and the serrated lower jaw under the head shell was full of fangs, and the arms on both sides were a pair of bone-like sickles.

This snake-like monster was obviously an elite monster, and its attack method was not limited to mindless charging.

Instead, it first used its own strong body strength to pull the poisonous spines on the head shell and burst out at supersonic speed.

When the sudden poisonous sting hit the power armor of the Astartes and Spartan warriors, everyone could clearly feel a strong force coming through the shell.

Although the alien's poisonous sting did not penetrate their bodies, the strong force made everyone instantly understand that these monsters were extraordinary.

"Block with bubble shields, and the sergeant will attack from the flank!" Paul immediately gave the order, and everyone cooperated tacitly, and the crossfire covered again.

When the front troops used bubble shields and unfolded a hexagonal protective shield, the alien's poisonous spine attack was immediately useless, and could only cause ripples on the surface of the force field shield.

At the same time, as the assault boats in the sky began to cooperate with firepower and madly shot at the aliens in the pit, the situation on the battlefield began to be one-sided.

As the number of aliens on the ground decreased, this ground war was about to come to an end.

After witnessing the sudden situation on the front line with his own eyes, Li Ang could immediately confirm the origin and name of these monsters.

Obviously, the monsters as ferocious and swift as wolves are the most basic combat units in the Zerg - springtails, and the ones that fired poisonous spines are hydralisks.

These two alien creatures are all living weapons, and their arrival also means that the star system here has been invaded by the Zerg!

Soon, with the news sent back by the Xeelee night fighter, Leon has learned the current location of the Megacorp fleet and the time period.

[The location of the Megacorp Expeditionary Corps: the Kprus sector of the Milky Way, time point: 26th century AD! ]

Since the Xeelee night fighter was available, Leon only needed to throw it in and run if he wanted to learn about a new universe. The speed of tens of thousands of light years per second was enough to collect the local time period and location information.

‘In the 26th century AD, the current time point should be around StarCraft: Wings of Liberty. I hope the Blade Queen has not become a god, otherwise it will be troublesome. ’

Leon was thoughtful. According to the current time period and the Zerg invasion that just happened, he guessed that the Blade Queen should not have become a Xel’Naga at this moment.

The final battle between humans and Amon should not have ended yet, otherwise the Zerg would have no reason to attack the human fleet here.

The most likely possibility is that the Zerg intended to ambush the human fleet of the Terran Federation in this star region, but mistakenly mistook the Megacorp fleet for an enemy.

For the Zerg, who only know how to attack to the death, the fleet of the Universal Corporation is no different from the fleet of the Terran Federation.

They just kill.

The good news now is that the Universal Corporation has the opportunity to get the Terran Federation, a human force, for free during the integration process, but the bad news is that Leon needs extremely high micro-management skills at the current time point.

Because the appearance of the Zerg means that the Zerg has most likely invaded the Terran Federation and has fought a war with humans.

According to the development of the original plot, the humans, Zerg, and Protoss will start a series of battles around the keystone fragments.

The keystone is one of the few artifacts in the "StarCraft" universe.

This thing was created by the Xel'Naga, and its main function is to resonate with the Urna Temple in the void plane, and transmit the consciousness of the Xel'Naga and the void energy to a specific target.

For Amon, the keystone can inject void energy into the body he created, helping him to complete the advent of the gods and destroy the entire universe.

For the Zerg Overlord, this thing is his pledge to become a Xel'Naga, and it can also help him ascend to become a new Xel'Naga.

For humans, the keystone can control and release the energy of the void, and it is also the key prop for the enemy to destroy the universe. It cannot be handed over to the opponent.

In addition, the keystone is the sacred object of the Protoss. At the beginning, the Xel'Naga chose the Protoss as the next successor, but there was a rebellion within the Protoss, which disappointed the old leader.

Now the repentant Protoss also wants to collect the keystone fragments to complete the ideal of ascending to become a god that their ancestors failed to complete.

It can be said that the keystone is a good thing, and everyone wants it, including Li Ang!

But if you want to take all the keystone fragments in the melee of the Zerg, Protoss, and human forces, this difficulty is quite a test of Li Ang's micro-management.

With the current strength of the Universal Giant Enterprise, of course, it can try to be invincible and sweep all forces, but Li Ang is worried that if he pushes too hard, it will be counterproductive.

After all, the existence of the Universal Corporation will cause all forces in the StarCraft universe to lose a lot of San points.

The threat level of a high-dimensional demon is no less than that of Amon who is determined to destroy the universe.

I am afraid that even Amon will not be able to resist following the network cable to destroy the main universe of the Universal Corporation if he sees it.

After thinking about it, Li Ang decided to hold his hand first and find a way to get all the key stone fragments before proceeding. This is the same idea as his idea of ​​building Starkiller Base first in the "Star Wars" universe.

…

At this moment, more and more Zerg airdrop capsules are entering the planet's atmosphere. These giant sarcomas with tentacles are the vehicles for the Zerg to land on the ground.

Under normal circumstances, the Zerg airdrop pods will cooperate with the fleet to attack the planet.

But now it seems that these insect cysts are just weapons deployed by the Zerg outside space. Of course, it is best if they can disgust the opponent.

Even if they are not disgusted, they have nothing to lose. After all, the most important thing for the Zerg is biological weapons.

As more and more airdrop pods hit the ground, springtails crawled out of the potholes, and hydralisks quickly gathered into a huge torrent of bugs.

They are raging all over the planet, madly attacking all living creatures.

In addition, the insect queen, guarded by springtails and hydralisks, slowly dragged her bloated egg-laying organs while laying out a carpet of bacteria to produce insect eggs, further expanding the army of insect swarms.

This purple-red carpet, which looks like sticky flesh, contains a large number of spore colonies and the nutrient secretions of the queen, which can quickly grow new bugs.

Moreover, these carpets can also give the insect swarm better movement speed and recovery ability. The place infected with the carpet is equivalent to a continuous production place for the insect swarm!

Under the command of the flagship headquarters, the ground forces of the giant company also immediately launched counterattacks, cooperating with more heavy firepower units to powerfully suppress the insect wave in front of them.

Countless hard light beams, plasma cannonballs, and howitzers fell into the insect swarm, and the fierce artillery fire turned a large number of springtails into fly ash.

To deal with the alien monsters, the experienced giant warriors did not panic at all, and they cooperated well with the air forces.

The newly spreading insect wave was quickly curbed by giant companies.

However, while the springtails were attracting firepower from the front, the hydralisks at the rear were also firing rounds of powerful poisonous spines, and the dense poisonous spines poured down like heavy rain.

It hit the power armor of the giant warriors, making a crackling sound.

Although the durability of power armor is very high, the kinetic energy caused by the poisonous sting hitting the body will still cause impact damage to the human body.

The Astartes warriors wearing Mark

Although the venomous spines of the Hydralisk have excellent penetrating power, they are still unable to cause damage in front of the bubble shield and can only wait until the shield duration disappears.

This also gives the giant companies of the world enough time to output and clean up the pests.

At the same time, a group of flying troops wearing Hulk anti-armor also departed from their respective motherships and arrived on the ground battlefield.

They continuously dropped miniature metal hydrogen bombs from the air, blasting out a ferocious and terrifying vacuum zone among the insect swarms to cover the ground troops against the invasion of the insect hordes.

When the springtails approach the defense line, they will also launch rocket barrages in the air in time, burning an isolation zone to withstand the death charge of the springtails.

However, just when the giant company in the world had just partially contained the insect swarm and launched the final attack to annihilate it, a large number of springtails suddenly fell onto the carpet.

Their bodies actually experienced mutations, and huge insect eggs bulged, and they didn't know what was hatching inside.

After a while, a bunch of poisonous banelings with poisonous sacs filled with highly concentrated acid emerged from the eggs. They were bloated and obese and could not even move normally.

They curled up into a ball and rolled forward along the fungus carpet. Together with a large number of springtails, they continued to launch a death charge towards the giant company's troops.

Relying on the springtails in front to clear the way, these poisonous banelings also pressed close to the defense line of the giant company's ground troops.

Facing the bubble shields of the Astartes warriors and other energy shield fields, the poisonous banelings directly detonated the poison sacs in their bodies, pouring a large amount of strong acid onto the shields.

This self-exploding acid had an amazing defense-breaking effect, and several energy shields were quickly damaged by the corrosion of the strong acid.

Immediately afterwards, the Hydralisk also concentrated its firepower with tacit cooperation, shooting its poisonous sting in through the gap.

This is the most frightening thing about the Zerg. There is theoretically no upper limit to their attack methods. As long as they assimilate enough species, they can use as many skills as they want.

Fortunately, the troops of the giant companies in the world have fought many enemies like the Zerg, so they can respond quickly.

The two sides were like masters of fighting skills, throwing skills at each other in an attempt to exploit each other's weaknesses.

Seeing this scene, Morgan Blackhand, who had just come down from the "Transformers" universe, couldn't help but feel worried. He asked Leon:

"Boss, the Zerg on the frontline are reproducing too fast. Do you want to consider using the Flood to try to fight these bugs head-on?"

Through the knowledge in the think tank and the help of the original base, the giants of the world have been able to transform the Flood into biological weapons for their own use.

When encountering some large and difficult Zerg civilizations, the giant's troops will directly fight poison with poison, throwing a large number of Flood Demons to fight against the opponent's Zerg civilization.

The greatest advantage of the Flood Demon is that it has extremely strong contagiousness. Looking at the entire science fiction universe, the Flood Demon is second to none.

Morgan believed that it would not be long before the Flood could quickly assimilate these Zerg as part of itself and take over all invading enemies.

After that, the flood demons can be recovered together, broken down into nutrients, and made into fresh canned protein.

"No, this time is just a good time for them to practice their skills and warm up their bodies, so that they won't have nowhere to start when they encounter the Zerg next time."

Li Ang shook his head and rejected Morgan's proposal.

This small number of Zerg is just a small fight, and it is not the turn to use the Flood or the Manticore virus. If they can't deal with this little trouble, it would be too pampered.

What's more, now that giant companies have an absolute advantage in firepower suppression, there is no need to worry about overturning.

Think of it now as accumulating combat experience in advance so that the soldiers can fight against the Zerg next time.

Here, after Paul cleaned up a batch of insect swarms in the crater, he discovered that purple-red carpets appeared on the outskirts, and these carpets were still expanding.

These living carpets, which are a mixture of indescribable mucus and viscera, have covered rocks, hillsides, and rivers, turning large areas of land into a breeding ground for the Zerg.

Facilities such as hatcheries, splitting pools, and evolution rooms formed a complete set of production factories almost instantly, followed by a steady stream of expansion of the carpet to produce more insect swarms.

Their energy comes from constantly devouring the essence of other creatures. The corpses, creatures, and even plants covered by the carpet will be quickly decomposed into nutrients and become nourishment for the hatching Zerg.

In addition, the Zerg will not even let go of the corpses of its own people. Any broken insect corpses scattered on the ground will be recycled by the fungus carpet and hatched into new insect troops again.

It can be said that the Zerg can be called a ruthless and extremely efficient war machine in terms of the speed of troop explosion.

However, at this moment, the giant companies in the world have also begun to fully launch their own firepower attack systems.

A large number of warships used shipboard AI to quickly lock on the airdrop pods falling from the atmosphere, and destroyed more Zerg reinforcements through close-in defense cannons and long-range attack cannons.

As long as the subsequent reinforcements of the Zerg are contained, the Zerg on the ground will be defeated sooner or later.

However, the insect swarms on the ground are equally clever. They frantically grab resources everywhere and turn any living thing into a part of themselves, creating a huge flesh and blood production machine.

A large number of Zerg units are constantly dying and being remade again and again.

Fighting to support fighting is the biggest characteristic of the Zerg's tactics.

As long as there is enough biological essence for them to devour, even a single larva can quickly hatch into a powerful insect mother, and then breed a powerful insect army.

This is why the Zerg deploy airdrop pods in space. As long as a small number of airdrop pods enter the interior of an enemy warship, it is enough to cause a chaotic and terrifying insect plague!

At this moment, Dr. Halsey, who was watching the battle on the front line at the central console of the headquarters of the Wanjie Base, couldn't help but feel a numbness in his scalp.

If the Flood has the ultimate infection and assimilation speed, then the Zerg has the ultimate troop explosion and reproduction speed. If the two sides really fight together, I really don't know who will win and who will lose.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for David and the others to clear out this group of bugs for a while. The planet they landed on has a lot of protozoa, which allows these bugs to seize resources like a fish in water."

V was expressionless on the surface, but in his heart he was still sweating for the soldiers on the front line.

Even the Zerg airdrop pods behind them were destroyed in mid-air by the fleet of giant companies, but the Zerg troops on the ground were attacking more and more, which was obviously a sign that they could not be contained!

Apart from the Flood seen in the "Halo" universe, this was the first time that V had seen such a ferocious Zerg.

Li Ang didn't say a word, just stared at the hard light screen calmly, reviewing the frontline troops' response to the enemy.

This fleet carries a lot of "insect cleaning tools", such as manticore virus, neutron killing, and nano-disaster, all of which are effective.

…

Here, Paul shouted in the team's internal communication channel: "Find a way to destroy their carpet, otherwise the pests will not be eradicated!"

Through this period of combat observation, Paul was keenly aware of the Zerg's combat characteristics and also gained an insight into the opponent's core area.

It's a pity that the Zerg's reproduction rate exceeds everyone's imagination. The Astartes warriors originally sent are not enough, and more combat units are needed.

Fortunately, David Martinez had already noticed this, just as the poisonous banelings and a large number of springtails swept in.

A huge steel force fell from various battleships of the giant company. Optimus Prime and the Decepticons each led their own troops and smashed into the waves of the Zerg.

"I heard that there is a troublesome insect infestation here, so why not burn it down and see?"

After the words fell, Optimus Prime, Megatron and other Transformers held heavy oil tank cannons and sprayed a large number of incendiary bombs towards the insect swarm.

In an instant, the poisonous banelings and springtails that had just rushed up were burned together with the carpet under their feet, and the air was filled with the stench of burning protein.

"Here, try this!"

Relying on his excellent flying ability, Shockwave held up his napalm flamethrower gun while flying, aiming it at the insect queen on the ground, and pressed the fire button on the creep.

The blazing flames turned into blazing fire dragons, roaring angrily and sweeping across large swaths of springtails and poisonous banelings on the ground.

The springtails wrapped in the fire were roasted into crispy proteins in the blink of an eye, until they were continuously burned by napalm into coke, and then disappeared into ashes.

The acid sacs of the banelings also made crackling sounds under the high temperature, but facing the flying Decepticons, they had no chance to spray them at close range.

The addition of the Transformers has severely frustrated the Zerg's attack. Their flamethrowers have dealt a crushing blow to the springtails and banelings.

Although the strong poisonous spines of the hydralisk can penetrate their steel bodies, the effect of the toxin on silicon-based mechanical life forms is almost negligible.

Facing the air force attack of the giant companies, the Zerg changed their tactics again and made a response strategy.

A large number of spore crawlers were quickly hatched on the fungal blanket, ready to deal with the dense AI unmanned fighters and Decepticons in the air.

The overall appearance of these spore crawlers is like a biological mortar, with purple flesh and blood shaped into a thick cylinder, which even looks a little cute.

But this thing has the ability to launch the spores in its body to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

When the AI ​​drones of the giant enterprise fly through the air and drop incendiary bombs, these spore crawlers will instantly spray yellow spore powder from their mouthparts.

Just like the anti-aircraft guns of the Zerg!

Once the AI ​​drones are stained by spores, they will be quickly dismembered by these highly corrosive spores until the body crashes to the ground.

What is even more shocking is that the firing rate of these spore crawlers is amazingly fast, and they can form a dense biochemical corrosion barrage in mid-air.

This makes it impossible for the AI ​​drones released by the giant enterprise to get close. Before reaching the bombing area, they will be shot down by spore crawlers.

In addition, even the miniature metal hydrogen bombs have the same fate. Before they fall on the fungal blanket, they are disintegrated by these spore crawlers in advance, and they can't play the role of cleaning the fungal blanket at all.
