Chapter 1 Aftermath

After Fang Senyan heavily injured the zealot with a punch, he didn't hold back. Instead, he pressed closer and landed another fierce blow on the zealot's chin!

This uppercut lifted him nearly half a meter off the ground, and pale blue fluid gushed from his helmet. His entire body twitched a few times after landing before going stiff. Upon sensing the complete disappearance of life signs, the self-destruct mechanism within the sturdy armor activated rapidly, instantly turning his corpse and broken armor into a wisp of green smoke, evaporating into the air.

This was the zealot's sense of nobility, hard for outsiders to understand: even in death, a powerful and sacred warrior could not allow an unsightly appearance. Nor would they tolerate desecration of their remains. Their proud souls would return directly to the kingdom of God in flames!

However, this unexpected event suddenly increased the pressure on Fang Senyan. His next plan had been to use the zealot's body to block attacks from the others, but he had miscalculated completely and couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

But on this battlefield, a moment's hesitation was an opening, giving the other enemies a great opportunity!

Fang Senyan's sudden eruption, killing a zealot in one move, undoubtedly made the elite ghost (Snake) in the distance widen his eyes. But before he could shout "Careful!", Fang Senyan's originally smooth and seamless movements faltered, and the zealot's particle blade and the dragoon's light cannon shells struck him hard!

With a loud bang, the moist soil exploded violently under the force of the light shells, scattering like rain, blurring the vision. But a figure could still be seen standing in the dusty haze.

The zealot, as cold and mechanical as a combat machine, stabbed without hesitation. The translucent purple particle blade emitted a trembling cry in the air, smoothly tearing through it as it pierced straight ahead.

Although the previous strike had hit the target, the zealot's rich combat experience told him that the strike felt as if it had hit a human's steel bunker. His full-strength blade was irresistibly sliding to either side!

But from the dust, a large hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the zealot's wrist. With a twist and a squeeze, the zealot's wrist, protected by tough armor, snapped with a "crack"!

Immediately afterward, the black shadow in the smoke suddenly burst out like a behemoth, slamming into the zealot's chest! The tactical armor on its chest immediately issued a mournful cry of being unable to bear the load, and then cracks began to spread clearly, with a large number of fragments rapidly falling to the ground.

The black shadow suddenly shrunk, using the staggering zealot as a shield. Another light cannon shell fired by the dragoon swept over its head, smashing into the ground three meters behind and creating another large crater.

Although the heat and shockwave of the light cannon shell's explosion could cause splash damage, this damage might be fatal to weak marine, but for a monster like Fang Senyan, comparable to a mammoth, it was just a drizzle.

At this time, the powerful elite ghost (soldier) Snake was not idle either. This veteran was best at seizing opportunities on the battlefield, so he simply raised his custom C-10 Canister spike sniper rifle!

The red dot of the low-frequency laser sight on the rifle was clearly imprinted on the back of the zealot's head, who was being pushed back by Fang Senyan!

With a crisp "crack," the head of this zealot, who had just recovered, exploded cleanly, blue pulp splashing everywhere, quite tragic.

Headshot!

This devastating blow caused his life to disappear instantly, and the self-destruct device was activated again at the appropriate time, turning him into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing into the air.

At the same time, Fang Senyan had already tightly gripped the zealot's severed arm holding the particle blade. He leaped up and stabbed the particle blade fiercely into the main body of the dragoon in front of him. But in mid-air, he was once again hit head-on by a dragoon's particle cannon shell and flew out, carrying smoke and flames, seven or eight meters away.

The huge machine spider dragoon, hit by the powerful weapon of its own kind, immediately spewed out a stream of pale blue fluid with extreme intensity, drenching the ground three meters away.

The energy shield, which was originally fully loaded on the dragoon's surface, was also annihilated in an instant. Enraged, it rushed madly towards the enemy who had been sent flying, raising its hydraulically driven mechanical foot and stomping down!

But the light cannon shell that had hit Fang Senyan was still only a flesh wound. Seeing the steel foot stomping down, Fang Senyan raised his arms and braced himself. The dragoon's hydraulically driven foot was immediately suspended in the air, as if embedded in rock, no matter how the energy system ran wildly, it was still useless!

Even more astonishing, Fang Senyan slowly propped himself up in this disadvantageous situation, and then with a burst of strength! The hydraulic transmission mechanical foot "cracked" and broke in the opposite direction. Immediately afterward, the entire dragoon was overturned on the ground by this enormous force.

Seeing this terrifying scene, not to mention the onlookers Kyrgyz Na, even Snake was stunned. But at least they still understood that this was a battlefield, so they simply used firepower to give Fang Senyan great support. Under Fang Senyan's harassment, this overturned dragoon still failed to turn over in the end. It actually died tragically under the welding guns of the SCVs that they usually looked down on...

Next, it was too easy to take care of the locked dragoons. But after the battle, Fang Senyan was simply regarded as a monster. Only the elite ghost soldier Snake could barely remain calm, but the surprise in his eyes was still palpable. To be honest, this was also the first time he had seen such a terrifying guy, who dared to face the protoss zealot head-on in the bare-handed state of chi kong quan!

Watching Fang Senyan walk over as if nothing had happened, Snake suddenly felt his mouth a little dry, not knowing what to say. But he saw Fang Senyan swagger over and pat him on the shoulder and said:

"Snake?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Brigadier General." The proud and arrogant elite ghost soldier also lowered his head.

Fang Senyan said solemnly:

"I have a piece of advice for you."

Snake immediately stood at attention, making a listening gesture. Fang Senyan said:

"I know you have some prejudices in your heart, but there are always exceptions. At certain times, the level of military rank and combat ability can also be directly proportional."

After saying this, Fang Senyan laughed loudly. Snake was originally a very serious and stern person, but this person in front of him could be called a legend. He had already heard of him like thunder, and he had personally witnessed his power. So although he was very unaccustomed to Fang Senyan's casualness and enthusiasm, Snake was not disgusted, but rather felt that the other party had no official airs and had a lot of personal charm.

But at this moment, Snake's face changed. As the local expert, he obviously sensed something was wrong and immediately said:

"The protoss' next patrol is coming, let's go!"

The warm feeling was transmitted from the synthetic plastic board. Although that end was cold and hard metal, the energy of the crystal turned into heat, making people feel warm all over. Compared to the nearly -30 degree cold outside, the 18 degrees Celsius here could really be said to be as warm as spring.

This was a newly built supply station.

It turned out that under Snake's leadership, the group had arrived at a hidden mountain belly without much effort. Here was a remaining branch crystal vein. The reserves of the vein were at least close to nine thousand units, which was definitely not low. Originally, it was the zerg who mined here, because this vein could only accommodate one mining drone in and out. Plus, the protoss offensive was too urgent, resulting in low efficiency, so it was abandoned.

After collecting enough crystal resources, the engineering SCVs first built such an underground supply station, which was considered to have settled the accommodation. Being able to find a safe place in this ghostly place to sleep well and recover fatigue was really something that could no longer be hoped for.

Fang Senyan stared at the marching pot on the alcohol stove. The marching rations inside had begun to slowly emit a fragrance. These rations were pressed together using one-third meat, one-third flour, and one-third dehydrated vegetables. Grabbing a few handfuls of snow and putting it inside, boiling it would result in a full pot.

The others were snoring evenly. Even Kyrgyz Na was curled up in her sleeping bag and did not move at all. The psychological test of forced landing was the greatest, let alone experiencing a hard fight afterwards.

Soon, the food in the pot boiled, forming a kind of viscous paste. For hungry people, it emitted a wisp of fragrance. Fang Senyan scooped a bowl, and then took out a translucent brown bottle from the side, bit open the stopper and took two sips of the whiskey inside, then threw it to Snake.
