Chapter 177 There is no way out

There's a saying that running towards a mountain can tire a horse to death, which is a very accurate way to describe Fang Senyan and their current situation.

The magnificent artifact palace building in the city's core was getting bigger and taller in their sight, but the Protoss-style buildings appearing in front of Fang Senyan and the others seemed endless, layer upon layer, just like an endless Bagua formation.

Suddenly, Artanis frowned and said:

"There's a battle over there! I can feel the energy fluctuations, someone is releasing a Psi-Storm."

Fang Senyan's heart stirred and he said:

"Releasing a Psi-Storm in this place? It seems that Psi-Storms are ineffective inside buildings. Releasing a Psi-Storm in this kind of urban warfare doesn't seem like a good idea."

Artanis shook his head and said:

"I don't know, but now probably isn't a good time to be distracted."

Fang Senyan shook his head and said:

"I seem to smell blood, not the disgusting fishy smell of Zerg blood, nor the faint, alcohol-like scent of Protoss blood. If that's the case, then it's very likely that my companions are in danger. I have to go take a look no matter what."

Of course, Artanis expressed considerable indignation and disdain at Fang Senyan's decision, but walking through this silent city without the cover of an MT was truly a dangerous task. They passed through shops filled with goods but empty of people, crossed a square with a large number of neat and messy seats, and then found a piece of blood-stained armor.

This armor was made of manganese steel carbon. The key words were nothing more than two: sturdy and lightweight, so this thing was already widely used in the protective armor of human marine. However, judging from the location of this piece of armor, it was located at the heart, so the wearer almost certainly did not survive.

It is worth mentioning that near the wreckage, traces of a Dark Templar being killed were also found, which looked very much like Ronnie's handiwork, stealthily disappearing after delivering a fatal blow!

After walking about another kilometer, they suddenly heard the familiar and intense sound of the 10mm C-14 Gauss rifle firing in front of them, but it was faintly audible that only three machine guns were firing.

Suddenly, a scream rang out, and the firing sound became even more chaotic. Fang Senyan rushed forward and saw Ronnie engaged in a fierce battle with a Protoss hero wearing a black cloak. The Protoss hero's head looked particularly large, as if a large mass of flesh had grown out of it and was infiltrating inwards, and his eyes had turned the blood-red color of the Zerg.

At this time, the Protoss hero's scythe-shaped psionic blade had already rotated a circle and was chopping down head-on. This was also when he revealed a huge flaw. According to Ronnie's strength, a straight stab at the vital point in the center of his chest would directly end the battle, but if Ronnie attacked, he would also be severely injured by the opponent. So he could only dodge, as per his habit of avoiding direct confrontation.

But at this moment, Fang Senyan immediately shouted:

"Ronnie, don't dodge, stab!"

Ronnie was startled in his heart, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. He gritted his teeth, and the bloody weapon in his hand transformed into an indescribable, dazzling light. He forcefully stopped his dodging stance and stabbed at the enemy in front of him.

An exchange of injuries!

The sharp psionic blade slashed down with a slight vibration, and even dragged out a long electric current. Ronnie only had time to avoid the vital part of his head, and a series of terrifying explosions suddenly occurred in his shoulder, like a storm of flesh and blood rising out of thin air!

But for Ronnie, he felt that the damage he had received was only superficial injuries, far less serious than he had imagined.

However, when Ronnie saw Fang Senyan staggering, he knew that Fang Senyan had probably shouldered most of the damage that he should have taken.

Ronnie gripped his bloody weapon and violently stabbed at the enemy in front of him. The guy immediately groaned in pain and reached out to grab the blade of Ronnie's weapon, but the immense power caused his left hand to explode completely, leaving only half of his palm on his wrist, revealing the ghastly white bone stub.

Ronnie's attack pierced into his heart like a hot knife through butter. The Dark Templar hero's eyes almost popped out, his face contorted into a dark red color like blood. The power of the bloody weapon suddenly erupted, deeply piercing into his internal organs. Even with the hero's powerful physique, could you imagine the feeling of your heart contracting every time, equivalent to drawing a shrill wound on a blade?

The light in his eyes quickly dimmed, initially filled with resentment and deep unwillingness, but as the fleshy tumor on his head rapidly withered, his eyes also turned to relief. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof," his muscles relaxed all over his body, and he crashed to the ground, dead.

Fang Senyan looked at the Dark Templar, who was gradually turning into motes of light, and said somewhat uncertainly:

"This guy seems to be... controlled by the Zerg?"

"Yes." Artanis affirmed: "The Queen of Blades' abilities are mysterious and unpredictable. She only needed to find a Light Archon with matching genes to successfully master the ability to release Psi-Storms. Based on my deduction, it wouldn't be surprising if she mastered mind control as well."

At this time, there was another burst of intense gunfire and Pang Tan's roar. Fang Senyan immediately joined the others and rushed up, discovering that dozens of ordinary raptors were besieging Pang Tan. This guy was protecting Annie Lu and Giljisna behind him, already covered in wounds, but fortunately, it seemed that he could still hold on.

After the three joined, especially Artanis's psionic storm, which was an area-of-effect attack, dealing with small raptors was even easier. One sweep would clear out a large area. However, by the time they rescued Pang Tan and the others, Giljisna had already stopped breathing. Her throat had been torn open by a raptor, and Pang Tan had tried his best to protect her body from being devoured.

Obviously, Giljisna's death had a great impact on Pang Tan. Even after all the raptors were dead, he still frantically waved his welding torch, screaming and wielding it until Fang Senyan knocked him unconscious and snatched the welding torch away.

Looking at the big guy slumped on the ground, Fang Senyan first took out the endless vodka, and forced Annie Lu, the medic, to take two big gulps. She groaned, and quickly regained consciousness. Then, the next things were simple: disinfecting, cleaning wounds, removing foreign objects, and a series of other actions were very skilled. Sure enough, this kind of life-saving thing should be left to professionals.

Although time was tight, they couldn't stop to wait for the two to recover. It could be seen that Annie Lu was very concerned about Pang Tan. Some parts of her body were still seeping blood, but she had already started treating him, and complained that Fang Senyan and the others had knocked him out too hard.

Fang Senyan could only shrug his shoulders, but he was thinking about one thing in his heart, which was why Pang Tan and the others were still being attacked here.

"This attack has revealed an unusual taste from the very beginning... From the perspective of personal hatred, I, who took away the Queen of Blades' treasures, should be her first target of hatred. Even if there is a personal grudge that must be dealt with, she should come to chase us down."

"Judging from the members of the attack, they are mainly Protoss controlled heroes, supplemented by Zerg troops. This combination has never appeared in previous attacks... Then, after excluding all the possibilities, the most likely explanation, although somewhat coincidental, is the closest to the truth...

"The encounter between the two is a coincidence. It is very likely that this controlled hero of the Protoss knew some secrets, so he was sent by the Queen of Blades with people to act as a guide. That's right, this is not a coincidence!!! When I pointed out the direction of advancement, I let them go to the Judiciary Council, which has the most powerful military force. The Queen of Blades is also eyeing this side. Doesn't that mean that we are on the right path??"

Thinking of this, Fang Senyan immediately shouted:

"The Protoss are likely to have sent people to this place as well, their main target must be the artifact descending in the center of the city! Therefore, the people they send must not be many, but they must be very elite. If we can deal with them, we can probably get this secret!"

At this time, Pang Tan had also woken up, and could be said to be very sad looking at Giljisna's body. Fang Senyan walked over, cut off a lock of Giljisna's hair, wrapped it up and stuffed it into Pang Tan's hand, and said seriously:

"If you want to save her, it's not impossible."

Pang Tan said in surprise:

"What?"

Fang Senyan smiled and said:

"High-end cloning technology has already been put into operation, but it can only be applied on a small scale because of the huge cost. If we make a great contribution this time, then it will not be difficult to clone Giljisna with this lock of hair. Of course, her memory will only go up to the moment before death."

"Really?" Pang Tan's eyes widened.

Fang Senyan nodded, and Pang Tan suddenly became filled with strong fighting spirit.

Next, after they continued to walk forward for another two kilometers, they encountered a small group of Protoss troops as Fang Senyan had expected. The leader was none other than Duochege, who emphasized the word "fast."
