StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 2 Family Korhal World
After the family dinner, Augustus returned from the dining room to his room on the pretext of needing an early rest.

The manor villa built by the Mengsk family on the cliff has hundreds of beautifully decorated rooms inside. Corridors with mahogany floors and stairs covered with expensive carpets connect the various halls and floors. There are more servants than rooms. , maid and gardener for daily maintenance.

According to his own memories, Augustus shuttled through the corridors with gold-framed portraits of the ancestors of the Mengsk family hanging on the walls. He climbed the cherry blossom wood stairs and entered the floor with bedrooms and paper libraries, and finally passed a door He stopped in front of the room where the English bronze plaque "Au" was nailed with golden rivets.

A promotional poster of the Tyrannian Federation Marine Corps was pasted under the bronze medal. The background of the poster was the surface of the lunar planet covered with craters, and the sky above was the pitch-black deep space.Several male and female federal military officers who were as handsome and beautiful as stars were standing on a high sand dune. They surrounded each other with formulaic bright smiles, and each stretched out his hand to hold a flag fluttering in the wind.

A false and ridiculous show, even a synthetic picture, is ten thousand times more real than this.

——This is what the original Augustus said about this poster.But even so, he posted it on the door, just to prove his determination to join the army to his father.

Adjacent to Augustus' room is the bedroom of Arcturus and Dorothy. The former's room door is only engraved with the same bronze plaque, with the English letters "AR" on it, and the latter's is on her door. An abstract purple pony is drawn on it.All the doors were devoid of doorknobs and key fobs, and where there should have been handles, there were square grooves about two inches on a side and one inch deep.

Standing at the door, Augustus thought about it carefully for a moment, and then he inserted his right index finger deep into the groove, and the headboard engraved with English letters immediately turned over, and a small round camera protruded from the door and projected a picture in front of him. A holographic projection screen with a bright blue background.

The words flashed on the screen: Facial recognition complete.Fingerprinting is complete.Iris recognition is complete.Gene identification is complete.The record has been uploaded, the 24-hour genetic database was refreshed, and the lock was unlocked at 2488:3 on March 25, 22 AD.

This is the world of StarCraft, a future world in the 25th century.And modern people may have no advantage at all when they come here.

Augustus pushed open the automatically unlocked door and walked into the bedroom, and turned on the hanging wall lamp. The soft white light passed through the hollowed-out ceiling carved with white patterns, immediately illuminating the entire bedroom.The furnishing of the bedroom is not luxurious. There is a bronze-framed lattice window on the wall opposite the door. Through the glass of the window, you can see the huge courtyard of the holiday villa. In the courtyard, there are verdant and verdant gardens and gardens under the lights.

These evergreen plants are full of vigor and fragrance, and the small gravel roads separate the green world and lead to the buildings where the servants and guards live.Outside the fence, the wider and straighter asphalt road leads directly to the tarmac where the cold gray near-Earth spacecraft is parked and the underground garage full of various hover cars and armed armored vehicles.

On the other two walls, there is a single bed and a bookshelf full of books. There are some firearms hanging beside the bookshelves, including craft-like front-loading guns, semi-automatic weapons from the colonial era, and the latest electromagnetic guns.

The original Augustus liked firearms very much, not only for collection, but also for proficient use of these weapons.This is one of the reasons Augustus wanted to join the army.If the elder brother Arcturus wanted to be a prospector, then Augustus' dream was to become a general across the galaxy.

Augustus lay on the bed and began to think about everything he would face in the future.

"Augustus Mengsk" does not exist in the original story. The Angus family originally had only one son and one daughter, without a second son.Rather than saying that he replaced Augustus, it is better to say that this character exists because of his own time travel.

Nobility at least gave Augustus some advantage.And in the cruel world view of StarCraft, traveling with such an identity at such a point in time is actually not the worst.

Since Arcturus, the eldest son of the Mengsk family, has joined the Federal Marine Corps and has not returned to Keha for more than eight years, Augustus' parents also have many problems with the education of their only remaining son. disagreement.

Angus did not want all his sons to join the army, so Augustus ultimately failed to complete his previous studies at the Stilling Military Academy and could only transfer to the university funded by the family.After Augustus joined the army without telling his parents, he could only start as a recruit.

The Tyrann Federation implements a recruitment system, and does not force conscription from all walks of life in society, but after signing up and passing a series of enlistment tests, refusing to perform military service will be regarded as a deserter.The provision was not enshrined in federal law until the past two years as enlistment numbers dwindled.

The good news is that it is now 2488, and there are still more than ten years before the first contact between humans and the other two alien races in the StarCraft world view, the Protoss and the Zerg. Augustus has yet to encounter any incredible ghosts and monsters.

Regardless of the fact that the Butterfly Effect of the traverser caused the first contact between human beings and the alien alien race to advance, Augustus would not encounter Zerg or protoss until he fulfilled his military service contract and was successfully discharged from the army.Moreover, his elder brother Arcturus is now a colonel in the federal army. In his email sent last week, he bluntly stated that Augustus will be transferred to his army after the recruit training is over.

Augustus sighed, stood up and walked to a floor-to-ceiling mirror, facing himself for the first time after time travel.

The mirror reflected the handsome face of Augustus, which was one of the proofs of the noblest and oldest blood of Tyranid humans.

Like all the men in the Mengsk family, Augustus is handsome, with high cheekbones, a hawk-like nose, bright, piercing cool gray eyes, and short, shaggy dark gray hair. Clean and tidy.

Average, normal, okay.

"Mengsk." Augustus whispered the ancient and noble surname softly.In the various factories and ancillary cities and towns that the Mengsk family has established on Korha, they are like true royalty.

But Augustus clearly remembers that in the background of the game, because his father Angus deliberately rebelled and wanted to lead Kehal to overthrow the rule of the Tyrannian Federation, everyone in the Mengsk family except the eldest son Arcturus They were later assassinated by three ghost agents of the Tyrannian Federation.

As for the specific time, Augustus is not clear.

By then, will he be able to prevent that tragedy from happening?

Of course, as a time traveler, Augustus also has reasons to ignore these things and stay far away.
"咚咚-"

At this moment, Augustus suddenly heard the doorbell ringing, and the information processor behind the door showed that it was his sister Dorothy outside.Augustus hesitated for a moment, walked over and opened the fingerprint lock on the door.

A girl with a silver-gray single ponytail came in. She was wearing a lavender home dress, with a pair of bright cold gray eyes flashing.Her expression was so helpless, and her sad eyes clenched Augustus' heart for a moment.

In an instant, many memories flashed through Augustus's mind like an electric current. Compared with the eldest son in the family, the 28-year-old Arcturus, the age gap between him and his sister is not that big.Augustus spent a happy childhood with Dorothy, watching her grow from a little pony dragging around to a slim young girl.

"Augustus..." Dorothy walked towards Augustus with her head down, and suddenly a head hammer hit him in the stomach.

"They said you might die."

"I promise you, I will never die," said Augustus.

"You will write me a letter every week from now on." Dorothy looked up, her beautiful cold gray eyes were covered with a hazy mist.

Augustus could find no reason to reject his sister.

"it is good."

He said.
