Creep

The battle in the center of the storm lasted for about two hours. Less than a hundred Confederacy defenders showed extremely tenacity in the face of the Revolutionary Army soldiers several times their own, and Revolutionary Army paid a heavy price.

These Confederacy soldiers must have undergone resocialization. Even if their legs were amputated by Arclite Siege Tank's cannonballs, they could endure the blood loss and pain that would shock people.

Even so, the real headache for the Revolutionary Army is the unknown number of Confederacy Ghost operative, who may be lurking in any corner like ghosts.

But this once hidden eye of the tornado has now become a closed cage. Psionics cannot protect Ghost operative from being torn into pieces by the high-speed airflow mixed with wind sand and sharp gravel when they walk into the storm.

Revolutionary Army's anti-Psionics troops, about one hundred and twenty Sterling Strikers companies, were divided into twelve groups to search for Ghost operative in the eye of the storm. These Power Armors equipped with Psionics shielding devices can effectively protect the brains of the soldiers.

After Ghost operative was basically eliminated or captured, Augustus flew to the ground on a medium-sized transport ship and entered the place named Fujita Peak Research Institute by the founder - unlike the memory Kerrigan firmly believed, this was not a military base.

This research institute is a standard alloy building built using modular air-dropped panels. The flat structure makes the building look like a staircase spliced together.

Augustus, wearing Power Armor, approached the bombed-down door of the research institute under the protection of the soldiers surrounding him. A straight corridor with a single line and a concise warning line appeared in front of him.

The surrounding Revolutionary Army soldiers are cleaning the battlefield. Revolutionary Army, who is not well off, must recover the Power Armor, guns and ammunition from his comrades and enemies.

"You look ugly." When Augustus was about to enter the research institute, Sarah·Kerrigan came over. The Sterling Strikerss behind him were carrying several Ghost operatives covered in blood.

"Augustus, you are thinking about some very bad and terrible things in your mind."

"Tell me, what did you see?"

"Humanity is destroyed." Kerrigan's light green eyes looked at Augustus without blinking. "But why is this?"

". Then let us go and see, to see the hidden truth." Augustus said, "You will know why there are so many Ghost operative here."

The surrounding Revolutionary Army soldiers followed them silently, walking through one passage after another and a wide sterile laboratory, and finally stopped in front of an observation room. The observation room replaced the entire wall facing the observer with transparent glass. Raynor and Tychus were leading several Revolutionary Army soldiers to stand there waiting for Augustus.

"Where are the scientists in charge of this laboratory?" Augustus asked as soon as he saw them.

"Here" Tychus grabbed a man in white dust-free work clothes like a cat and slid him in front of Augustus. Looking at the ID badge hanging on his chest, Augustus learned that he was a doctor named Francos from the University of Tarsonis Biological Research Laboratory.

"This is so touching. I heard that you are here to overthrow the rule of Confederacy. Holy Virgin Mary, you saved me." The doctor excitedly wanted to shake hands with Augustus, but when he stretched out his hand, it was immediately separated by Kerrigan.

Dr. Francos didn't feel too embarrassed. From the outside, he looked really happy. This middle-aged man with a somewhat hunched back had long, sparse brown hair and a pair of smart small black eyes hidden under glasses.

"If it weren't for you, I would have to stay here for the rest of my life. I was attending a lecture by University of Tarsonis. During the lecture, I mentioned my research on alien physiology. But as soon as the get out of class was over, my eyes went black. When I woke up, I found that I had been brought here. The bastards in the army actually asked me to take off my clothes for inspection." He seemed to be very talkative.

"Very good, now you are a member of the Revolutionary Army." Augustus interrupted the doctor when he was still about to speak, "Soon all Koprulu Sector will know that you are fighting for justice and freedom."

Dr. Francos slumped down at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a deflated balloon.

"My dear revolutionary comrade Dr. Francos, can you tell me what is in there?" Augustus pointed at a pool of purple substance stuck to the glass wall. This is by no means a bright purple, but a deep purple that is almost black.

This purple substance that almost covers the entire glass wall is like a squirming gel, covered with veins that resemble biological tissue, moving like a slug lying on the glass, crawling like a living thing.

During the dozen or so seconds that Augustus stared at it, the dark purple substance seemed to have grown larger, and the tentacle-like sticky ends moved to occupy a larger area of the glass wall.

"It is a living biological blanket composed of biological organic matter, containing proteases and cells that are constantly replicating." The doctor replied.

"Where does it, or should I say, they come from?" Augustus then asked the next question.

"Just two years ago. It was originally discovered on several colonial planets located on the edge of Koprulu Sector. At the same time, some extremely aggressive alien organisms were discovered. Although they are different, genetic sequencing shows that their DNA composition is highly similar, which means that these organisms are likely to belong to different branches of a race." The doctor said.

"That means you also participated in the initial investigation?" Augustus looked at him and said.

"At that time, I was just a peripheral person handling experimental materials, an assistant who didn't know anything," said the doctor.

Then he told a shocking truth, "In order to block the news, the Confederacy government killed all witnesses and even an entire colony."

"How many alien creatures have been discovered?" Under Augustus's instructions, Kerrigan began to read the thoughts and memories hidden deep in his heart.

At this time, Augustus couldn't help but think that if he could know the inhuman evidence of the Confederacy government's silence, it would undoubtedly further reduce the government's prestige.

"There are not many, and the remaining living bodies are even pitiful." The doctor said, "They are bloodthirsty, like skinned wild dogs, their bodies are covered with scars and leprous-like cracks, and they look like snake-like monsters."

"These monsters invaded several colonial towns. You simply can't imagine the scene. Most of the people who were eaten were hung on the eaves to dry, and the half-eaten heads looked at you with eyes bleeding with pus and blood-people were disemboweled alive-"

Although what the doctor described made Augustus feel extremely perplexed, he still breathed a sigh of relief. According to Augustus's estimation, this should be the Zerg reconnaissance force that spread to Milky Way Galaxy in the background, and Zerus, the birthplace of Swarm, is far outside Koprulu Sector, and the large force should not have arrived yet.

"Where are these Ghost operative in the research institute, are they experimental products?" Augustus asked the last question.

"Research has shown that there is a phenomenon similar to resonance between these creatures and Psionics ers. Experiments have proven that they are attracted to Psionics ers, and this phenomenon is obvious in some Psionics ers with extremely high PSI levels." The doctor replied.

"We are still studying this abnormal phenomenon and obtaining corresponding research results based on it. The people who invested in this project believe that these alien creatures can become a weapon."
