StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 87
Keha IV, Stilling Skyport, Christmas Eve.

After three days of space-time travel, the galaxy hoppers that Augustus, Lisa and others took landed in a starship skyport outside the capital city of Korha IV, Stilling.Without exception, everyone who has never been to Korhal is stunned when they step down the gangway of the galaxy hopper.

Stilling Sky Harbor's imposing terminal is a white-steel frame and large, color-changing glass cube with black aluminum railings and travertine marble interiors.

Passengers can see the mild sun of Keha IV and the lush vegetation planted in the stair corridor through the curtain wall glass windows when they step into it.Suspended intelligent robots and turbine-type drones clean the mirror-like ground and glass windows all the time, and every Keha person is well-dressed and elegantly spoken.

In order not to attract attention, Augustus today only wore a dark brown square-neck long-sleeved jacket, crisp trousers, and a pair of blue and black striped sneakers, looking like a young student.Lisa, on the other hand, was wearing a knee-length light yellow pleated skirt, a black cotton short-sleeved T-shirt, and a leather bag that was actually a medical bag across her waist.

Conor Ward was a tall, dark-skinned man in a black short-sleeved leather vest and ripped jeans, with pale blue eyes half-opened over a nose that looked a bit askew from a snap in combat.His eyes always give people a vicious feeling, and there is a skull tattoo of the demon of heaven on his bare arm.

If Ward looked like a burly bodyguard when he stood next to Augustus, Harnack and Zander, wearing only a leather jacket and casual slacks, were two soil dogs who had just emerged from their caves. The mouse made an exclamation of "Ah—" from time to time.

Augustus didn't wait too long at the terminal. Soon, a group of men in security uniforms and housekeeper uniforms surrounded a burly man and found them. The chests of all coats were embroidered with gold thread. Wearing a golden wolf head, that is the badge that belongs exclusively to the Mengsk family.

The leader is the security captain of the Mengsk family, Acton Field, who is also one of Angus' most trusted people. He has been in the Mengsk family for many years, almost watching Augustus and his sister grow up. .

"You kid, none of the Mengsk family's children are ordinary people." Acton and Augustus hugged each other, patting each other's shoulders and said.

"Where's Mother and Dorothy?" asked Augustus, smiling.

"They're still in Whitestone Castle in the mountains north of Stilling, remember? That's where your grandfather died," Acton said.

"I still remember him." A vague image appeared in Augustus's mind. The grandfather in his memory was tall and tall, but his voice and smile were far away.The Mengsk family still continues the tradition of the royal family in the Earth Age. Angus gave the name "Augustus" to his youngest son just to commemorate his father.

Angus escorted his son with an entire security force, three Type 58 Land Cougars and twelve Condors.

The vulture motorcycle was guarding three armored vehicles in a zigzag shape, one of which carried Augustus and others, while the other two were loaded with soldiers with live ammunition.

This is not a pathological overprotection. Although the power of the Mengsk family in Keha is as deep-rooted as a towering tree rooted in Keha, some potential business opponents and political enemies of Angus will often hire assassins to assassinate them. One of the few family members in this family.

Given the Mengsk family's staggering power and assets, even guards such as kidnapping and harassment are necessary.

Augustus was sitting in the back seat of one of the Jaguar armored vehicles. At this time, he was sitting by the window, turning his head and staring out of the window through the bulletproof glass a few feet behind. scenery.A stern-faced Acton and an awkward Lisa sat next to Augustus.

"I heard from your mother, are you ready to retire?" Acton said.

"Yes, and I'm not going to wait until next year. The war is over, I submitted the decommissioning papers last weekend, but it hasn't been approved yet." Augustus said: "If all goes well, next month I will I can retire."

Like his elder brother Arcturus, Augustus had no attachment to the military.Now Augustus is already a second lieutenant, even if he is likely to become a school officer after the war is completely declared over next year, he doesn't want to stay any longer.

His own father is about to rebel, and the entire planet is about to revolutionize. If he doesn't run away quickly, why should he stay in the army and wait to die?

The only thing Augustus cares about now is his demon of heaven, otherwise he is not going to return to Meinhof after Christmas.

"Okay, your father needs a helper." Acton nodded: "He is still very young, and his hair is almost gray."

"Well, Field, where are we going, Stilling or White Castle?" asked Augustus.

"Go to your mom. She misses you." Acton
Due to the local government's environmental protection policy, Stilling Skyport is actually far outside the city circle, and the Mengsk family's convoy will have to drive for a while to reach a more remote destination after leaving Skyport.

The escorted convoy galloped all the way on the traffic artery outside the city circle of Stilling, passing through the rural fields between the silver-gray complex industrial park and the city circle.

It is autumn at this time, and the green plants on both sides of the trunk road are still verdant.The vast wheat fields farther away are still rendered luxuriously golden by the deep autumn, the sky is as clear as blue, and the flowing clouds are like flying horses passing by, just like the freehand world depicted in pastoral oil paintings.

Unlike other main star worlds of the Tyranid Federation that focus on economic development and ignore environmental pollution, Korhal IV revised the latest air purification regulations and introduced a large number of renewable resources with foresight.Therefore, while maintaining highly developed technology and industry, Kehal is still a beautiful world full of greenery.

Augustus continued to look at the scenery outside the window. At this time, the fields and dense forests were gone, and the hills in the south of Stilling City gradually enlarged in his eyes.

In the gaps between the hills, many dense silver spots can be seen, which are the reflections of metal and glass.Augustus seemed to be able to see Stilling's brilliant neon lights and huge holographic screens and billboards, and hear the vibrant din.

The convoy drove onto a silver-gray alloy bridge erected on the hill, and as the slope continued to rise, the whole picture of Stilling City could already be seen at this time.

Stilling seems to be a city made of mercury. The shining metal and glass reflect the dazzling silver light in the sun, and the bridge network and traffic arteries running through the whole city seem to be dense and clear in the world of mercury. black lines.

In the center of the city, towering skyscrapers stand among the silver-gray buildings. These majestic and majestic buildings have clear-cut polyhedron shapes and other geometric structures beyond the limits of human imagination, carrying the fantasy of science and technology. and the beauty of the future world.

In Augustus's memory, Stilling at night is as brilliant as fireworks in summer, a sea of ​​neon lights and countless IAA projection screens converging into a sea of ​​light, extending to the mountains in the south of the city and the coast in the north.The gorgeous lights go all the way to the sky, twisting and reflecting among the clouds, like clouds.

The lights of Keha are colorful and beautiful.
