StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 15 The Bloody Mary Bar

Like every other bar in Braddock, the Bloody Mary was packed with Marine recruits.The floor of the bar is covered with soft solid wood floors, the floor is full of smoke marks, and there is a creaking sound when you step on it in some places.

Huge beast heads and furs hung on the walls covered with wood-grained wallpaper, and beside these trophies hung some rusty cold weapons and wooden-handled revolvers.

Unlike the Army Bar, Bloody Mary's radio has been playing fast-paced metal music, rap with local characteristics, and a whole section of unknown noise, which makes the inside of the bar very noisy, even the voice of talking I can't hear you clearly.

The gorgeous laser lights render the Bloody Mary into a colorful world, and the smell of alcohol and smoke makes people dizzy. Young people are easily infected by this atmosphere. They shout, drink, and carnival at the top of their throats.

The frenetic atmosphere culminated in the appearance of several tall bar girls, who danced on a stage made of iron frames and curtains.

The girls took off their few clothes while dancing hotly. Augustus just noticed that they were almost naked, and they casually threw their silk clothes on the The crowd off the stage immediately attracted looting, some of whom were willing to beat you to death for these palm-sized clothes.

Augustus, Renault and the others found a long table for ten people, sat down and began to order wine and food.Compared to those slutty women who made Lei Nuo and others stare wide-eyed, flushed and reluctant to look away, Augustus was more interested in the menu.The owner of the bar may be very fond of Shakespeare's works in the ancient world, and there is a Shakespeare verse at the end of each page of the menu.

There are many more dishes here than in the army. In addition to fried food, there are many other dishes, such as beef pies, potato cakes and vegetable salads.Some of these dishes have names that sound unheard of, such as canned alien starfish, char-grilled Umoyan beetle larvae, and chilled Char Volcano slugs.
Augustus noticed that although this is a distant world 200 light-years away from Earth, and it has been nearly [-] years since the first colony mothership from Earth arrived in Tarsonis, the cultural differences between humans and Earth civilization There are still inextricably linked.

The host computer of the colonial mothership stores all the crystallization of wisdom in human civilization, and science, art, music and other human beings' most precious spiritual treasures have been completely preserved, so humans in this era still understand some "ancient" literature , As for the many books of ancient great men, mythology, religion, and history, they are still circulating in the human world in the Koprulu sector.

Therefore, the naming of people's names, cities and planets can still find connections in mythological systems such as Nordic and Greek.

Of course, this is the customary practice of those upper-class people who call themselves aristocrats.In the marginal galaxy, people who only want to live don't care whether the name of the place where they live has any meaning of origin.

Cows, sheep, chickens and ducks, the main domestic animals that were widely raised in the Earth era, are also available in the Koprulu sector. The hibernation cabins of the colonial motherships store tens of thousands of embryos and living bodies of life on Earth, as well as plant seeds, so that they can be stored on the spaceship. After landing, the colonists can breed livestock and open up farms in the unknown new world.Therefore, it is not inconceivable to eat grilled steak and drink beer brewed from barley in the Koprulu sector.

Augustus ordered a piece of fried chicken and beer, and the scantily clad waiter really looked at him a few more times, showing provocative movements frequently, and the soldiers next to him immediately started booing.

"Would you like one? There's morphine, crabs, and rats here. My god, baby, you're so handsome." The waiter has long pink wavy hair and a pretty boobs, when she leaned over to ask Augustus , her face was almost on his body.

"We don't need drugs, ma'am. If you don't mind, I also suggest that you don't touch those things." Augustus noticed that there was something wrong with her spirit, her eyes were blurred, and she was in a state of extreme excitement.

"What does it matter, sir? Staying to the party tonight? It's going to be a beautiful night."

"We still need a few beautiful girls from Bloody Mary." Augustus didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, and he also knew what to do to ignite the enthusiasm of a group of LSPs. Sure enough, everyone else in his class was transferred Attention, start cheering.

The waiter turned and left, her waist twisted intentionally, there were many whistles around, and someone reached out to touch her butt from time to time.

"How many people were forced to come here because of the war?" Renault, who was sitting next to Augustus, suddenly asked in a low voice.In this noisy environment, Renault's voice was like a grain of sand falling into the sea, and it was drowned before it made any waves.

"She's got a lot of make-up and she's actually much younger. Braddock has more than 30 bars, street girls and strippers combined, maybe a thousand." Augustus said: " The city closest to here was already in ruins two years ago, and 100 million people lost their homes and jobs. But neither the Federation nor Kymerian intends to resettle these people, and they can only flee desperately."

"You know, it's a long way from hell, even on a magnetic rail train."

"This is really hell on earth." Renault's voice became dull.

"But if you have been to Tarsonis, you will know that it is even more prosperous than before the war began." Augustus drank a glass of No. [-] whiskey, expressing his feelings.

"Those bastards." Reynolds thought of his family's farm that was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the war, which made him feel bad.He couldn't imagine what a terrible sight it would be once Shiloh became a war zone.

While the fringe worlds were ravaged by war, the nobles of Tarsonis were busy filling their pockets.

They were soon relieved of such troubles, for another group of Union soldiers, about four or fifty of them, poured into the Bloody Mary before Augustus's girls arrived.

Different from the maroon uniform worn by Augustus, these soldiers were all wearing white stand-up collar uniforms with black space environment tights under the clothes. The badge on the right chest of the uniform was a regular triangle with a golden eagle in the center.

"Fleet?" The gray-haired and blue-eyed Ronderstein looked at those people. One of the businesses of the Ronderstein family business provided fuel and replacement parts for the fleet. Such badges were all too familiar to him.

"Hey, I don't like that group of fleet soldiers." There were not only recruits in the bar, but also many engineers working in the base and some veteran marines and sergeants drinking here.

When they saw the fleet soldiers, dissatisfied murmurs immediately sounded among them: "Look at how weak they are, how can they fight?"

The lively atmosphere suddenly stagnated. The Marine Corps and the Fleet have always been at odds with each other. Since the beginning of their establishment, these two military services have always disagreed with each other, and they take pleasure in making fun of each other.

"Who knows of a fleet that recently stayed in orbit at Turasis?" Augustus asked.

"Looking at their badges, they should be members of the Alpha Squadron. According to the publicly available Turasis II star port log, the only battlecruiser that may stay in synchronous orbit is the 'Otto von Bismarck' , that is a Behemoth class." Rundstein said after thinking for a while.

　In the official novel, the Alpha Squadron has the Bismarck, the Napoleon, and the Nelson V, and the others are basically names from Nordic Greek mythology.
