After ending the communication with Renault's Hyperion, less than three days later, Tuo Xu's medium-sized fast cruiser made many short jumps and an ordinary sailing journey. Arriving on an asteroid located in a planet-synchronous orbit of a huge, desolate planet.
This is a meteorite-shaped asteroid with a diameter of only five kilometers, and it is one of Tosh's lairs.
After years of hard work, he hollowed out the asteroid and built it into a small space station with camouflage capabilities and limited navigation capabilities, as well as a training base for ghost agents.
On top of this, in addition to facilities such as vermillion phosphorus storage warehouses, state hydrogen gas tanks, and nether energy infusers necessary for training ghosts, there are also a large number of factories, maintenance workshops, machine gun bunkers, anti-aircraft missile towers, and nuclear bomb silos. etc!
There are also many defenders here, all of whom are his direct subordinates and some hired mercenaries. In addition to the small number of Ghost troops left behind, there are also a large number of Marines, medics, Reapers, Marauders, siege tanks, Nighthawk fighter jets, etc...
Of course, most of them are armored units, and there are fewer heavy machinery units and flying units. However, the total number of various defenders and staff is probably in the thousands.
It can be said that this base transformed from a rocky asteroid is one of the rear bases entrusted with cultivating ghost troops and using it to fight against the Mengsk Empire, and it plays a huge role.
"Welcome to my secret ghost base, the great head of state, and everyone! Here is one of my most important industries, Ephnos, my special base for cultivating ghost troops!"
When Tuo Xu's medium-sized fast cruiser carefully adjusted its orbit and gradually docked in the airport of Avnos Base, Tuo Xu, who was the first to step down the battleship's staircase, led a group of uninformed subordinates and humbly He introduced the head of state Anne and the head of state guards who stepped off the cruiser.
It can be said that the Avnos Base is the proudest masterpiece he has commissioned over the years!
This base, which he had spent many years building on his own, could not only be used to train ghost troops, but also had certain mobility capabilities. Although the particle engines dismantled from large battleships installed at the bottom of the asteroid, There is no way to jump, but it is enough to push the asteroid to continuously change its orbit, thereby avoiding any possible enemy pursuit, and it is the most concealed.
"Master Head of State, please be careful where you step..."
"The gravity device on this asteroid base is not very easy to use, so compared with the surface of some planets, the simulated gravity environment may be a little confusing..."
After seeing that the Marines who were walking down were a little uncomfortable with the gravity environment here and had already put on the ghost protective gear, Tuo Xu quickly smiled flatteringly and ran to the little girl who had also put on the ghost suit to remind him. .
This pocket-sized asteroid has no atmosphere. The gas leaked from the building was quickly captured and taken away by the giant planet in the distance, and the simulated gravity environment was simply unable to attract enough mass to encompass the entire asteroid. Gas, so if you want to breathe outside the building, it is best to wear necessary protective gear.
"I don't like it here very much..."
After looking at the huge desolate planet in the distance, little Annie muttered dissatisfiedly.
She looked at the slightly rotating sky above. Although she was still head and feet under the simulated gravity environment, she still didn't like it here.
In Anne's sensitive perception, she could feel that the whole world was spinning and spinning, which made her very uncomfortable! It's even worse here than when I was in the battleship!
"Forget it, you'd better find me a comfortable place first and let me have a good rest!"
Anyway, she has not been staying in this place for a long time. Anne plans to rest here for two days. If the ghost agent named Nova doesn't come here for a sneak attack, then she will probably leave here and go shopping elsewhere.
"Yes! Mr. Head of State, I will definitely prepare the most comfortable room for you."
After saying that, Tosh led the way, leading the little girl and a total of twenty marines painted in gold and red to the interior of the base.
Here, within the interior of this asteroid, he has basically hollowed out and built various factories and residential or entertainment facilities. On the outside surface, except for some dangerous equipment that is not suitable for moving inside, the rest are all kinds of defense facilities, just like a small military fortress.
Later, after arranging the resting place of Head Anne, he promised to seize the time to rearrange the defense and warning positions of his men! After all, no one knows when the ghost agent Nova will come here. Presumably, she will not let herself wait too long, right?
Thinking of that girl Nova, Tuosh silently fell into his own memories while leading the way...
At that time, Tosh joined the Empire's Ghost Academy as a recruit with great psionic potential and telepathic abilities and served as the leader of the blue team of recruits. It was at that time that he met the little recruit girl who also had great potential. ——Nova Terra.
What happened next, even Tuosh couldn't predict... As the oldest member of the blue team, he actually fell in love with that beautiful little girl Nova...
It was a pity that their romance was not allowed by the college. Later, in order to protect her, he had to cruelly interrupt this seemingly beautiful relationship.
Later, during a mission, Nova's mind blast accidentally involved Tosh. Later, under the influence of Nova's psionic power, Tosh's eyes turned into white psychic shapes. Moreover, it was from that time on that Tuosh was completely immune to the brainwashing programs of the Ghost Military Academy and other people's mind-reading skills, and was almost imperceptible by psychic energy.
It is precisely because of this that after he escaped from the control of the empire, he directly led some of his men to resist Mengsk, and made killing that hypocritical politician his ultimate goal!
Thinking about the days when he and Nova were together, Tuo Xu couldn't help but feel sad. Presumably, the other party had been brainwashed many times and didn't remember him, right?
Otherwise, relying on their past friendship, no matter how bad the situation is, Nova will not deliberately plot to assassinate him...
————
At the same time, whether it is in the bar of the Hyperion, in Tosh's Avnos base, or anywhere in the Koprulu sector, any area covered by the UNN TV signal, all On the day that Annie arrived at Tosh's base, a shocking news was broadcast: the fall of the planet Tarsonis, and the reason why it was attacked by the cruel swarm of insects, was it actually caused by Mengsk's conspiracy?
In order to succeed in his conspiracy, he even launched a brazen attack, raided the protoss troops who came to stop them and were able to launch the weapons, and provoked a war between humans and protoss?
This message quickly spread like crazy throughout the entire Koprulu sector...
Subsequently, although Mengsk also responded immediately and sent people to refute the rumors, this still could not avoid the spread and brewing of this information throughout the Koprulu sector. Countless TV stations and countless people began to openly discuss this thing.
Then, seeing that the uproar could no longer be suppressed, Mengsk had to go to the UNN TV tower again the next day and hold an emergency press conference to refute the rumors.
At this time, after watching the dirty material about Emperor Mengsk broadcast by UNN yesterday, Annie is once again sitting in the entertainment bar of the Avnos base with her Marines, Tosh and others. , looking at Emperor Mengsk who was performing his eloquence on TV.
"Great Emperor, what is your response to these accusations of genocide? Using alien creatures, the Zerg, to capture Tarsonis?"
On the TV screen, a reporter stood up from the crowd and angrily challenged Mengsk on the podium.
"I assure you: those slanders against the monarchy appear to have no basis at all! They are just irresponsible slanders!"
How could the thick-faced Emperor Mengsk admit such a thing? Therefore, on the TV screen, he was quibbling calmly and uprightly.
"Sir! Will you still uphold the spirit of selfless dedication and putting the people first as your basic principles?!"
At this time, Mengsk had just finished speaking, and as soon as the camera turned, Kate Rockwell, a female reporter who specializes in exposing various shady stories of the empire, stood up immediately and asked in her clear voice.
"There is no doubt about it! What I pursue has never been personal rights, because I have a greater ideal, and that is: to fight for the well-being of all mankind!"
Seeing this little girl again, Mengsk instinctively felt uneasy, but he still maintained restraint.
After all, the ability to tell lies with open eyes is one of the necessary skills for a qualified politician like Mengsk! Therefore, he could say this seriously in front of the TV cameras without blushing or heartbeat, without even a trace of disobedience.
"Then please, how should you explain the content of this passage?!"
It was obvious that Kate Rockwell, who had come prepared long ago, obviously did not want to let Mengsk go so simply.
Therefore, she quickly took out a device from her pocket and immediately played one of the passages from the insider information that swept the entire Koprulu sector yesterday:
"No one can stop me! I swear, no matter it is the Tyranid Federation, the Gods, or anyone else! I will rule the entire star region, or watch it turn to ashes in front of me..."
Obviously, the recording of this statement was what Mengsk himself said on the podium!
Therefore, countless reporters began to make a noise, and once again used their respective cameras to focus on Mengsk on the podium. They frantically pressed the shutter of photography, causing each flash to emit strong light, continuously shining on the people on the stage. On Mengsk's body.
"I won't tolerate this kind of thing! You lackeys, think you can come here to question me? Huh! The interview is over!"
The other party was well prepared, and the power of yesterday's broadcast seemed to be beyond his imagination?
Therefore, in anger, Mengsk pointed at the reporters on the podium and cursed them, then left the scene with a cold groan and threw his hands.
He, Mengsk, was the founding emperor of the huge Terran Empire. How could he be afraid of these unarmed reporters? Therefore, out of impatience, he simply threw away his hands and left, planning to quickly find a think tank to discuss specific solutions to this crisis.
"Huh... It seems that that bastard Renault and the others are doing a good job? But what's the point? It's better to try to kill that Mengsk with one shot!"
After holding a glass and swaying the refreshing yellow-orange wine inside, Tuosh snorted nonchalantly while watching the news on TV.
In his opinion, Renault's despicable informant, the other party's behavior is completely meaningless!
Instead of wasting time doing this, that Renault, they might as well just drive the Hyperion over, and then aim at Mengsk's palace and blast it hard from a distance. Who knows, they might even be lucky enough to kill the so-called Great Emperor directly. Mengsk?
"Huh? That ghost has finally arrived!"
Little Annie, who was playing the plane thunder fighter game on a game console in the bar, suddenly stopped.
Then, after thinking about it, she jumped down from the metal seat and walked to Tuo Xu, who was holding the wine but not drinking.
"Hey! The braided monster, hurry up, the female ghost who is coming to kill you is coming soon. Go out and prepare quickly, and attract her directly into the empty big factory!"
Now, this place is nominally the property of Little Annie's Federation of Heroes. Therefore, she doesn't want this place to be too seriously damaged by the battle, so she wants to entrust her to go out and attract the ghost agent who is coming. A place suitable for fighting and capturing opponents alive.
Anyway, there are still a lot of free spaces on this meteorite asteroid. Just find an open space to attract the female ghost and then catch her. How simple is it?
"She...Nova is really here? Then why didn't I receive a report from the guard?"
After putting down the wine glass, Tuo Xu was a little doubtful.
Now, even the guards responsible for detecting warp fluctuations or psionic energy near the base have not reported back any information. So how did this little girl know that the other party was coming?
"Go quickly if I tell you to! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Seeing that the other party dared to talk back, Annie glared with dissatisfaction, then kicked over and kicked the other party's seat away, causing him to immediately fall on his face.
"If you don't hurry up, I won't help you catch her!"
Lady Anne is very busy now!
I barely stayed at this base for more than a day, but it was already pretty good! After solving the matter in front of her, she still has more important things to do! Where can I stay in this small and shabby meteorite base all day?
Her target is the entire sea of stars...
Especially, after watching the TV shows these two days, she felt that something more interesting was about to happen?
Like that hateful Mengsk, he can have such a huge empire territory, so how can his own Federation of Heroes only have one pitiful Star Haven? This is right. She must do something. Best, try to seize all the other party's planet colonies and the like?
"Hey! Galen! And Darius..."
"You guys! Come here quickly. Now, I have some fun things for you to do..."
After seeing Tosh reluctantly holding the back of his head and walking out of the bar door, little Annie waved to the Marines who stopped drinking, bragging and spanking, and looked at her.
Annie wasn't too worried about the ghost agent who was coming, but the next task was more important, and if she was unwilling to take action casually, maybe they were the only ones who could complete it easily?
————
"Nova is here..."
I am about to start taking action now...
Tuosh, is your head ready? Now, I'm going to cut it off...
At the Avnos base, in a remote and uninhabited rock pit, a single-seater shuttle that was completely invisible descended here quietly and slowly. Then, its small hatch opened gently, and no one or anything else came out, so it was closed again.
Then, in this deserted place, there was an indistinct, low-pitched female whisper, like a whisper in the ear.
This individual shuttle, which is still invisible, is an expensive stealth space shuttle equipment specially developed by the empire for the ghosts who go out to perform special missions.
It can effectively evade the scanning of most currently known models of small and medium-power military radars. Apart from its small size, the fact that it can only carry one or two ghost agents at a time and its expensive manufacturing cost, it does not have many shortcomings. A reliable stealth vehicle favored by Ghost agents.
"..."
Nova did not hurriedly launch her invasion as soon as she stepped out of the shuttle. She was now squatting, hiding behind the higher rocks, observing Ephnos in the distance from a high position. Some basic conditions at the base.
"So few guards?"
"Even the fast cruiser is gone... Could it be that the villain Tuo Xu knew he was coming, so he ran away in advance?"
Seeing the base below, except for a small number of defensive turrets, stealth detection equipment, anti-aircraft missile towers, and fewer fighter planes and tanks, she didn't even see too many ghost agents and cannon fodder Marines.
This weird situation made Nova feel that something was very wrong!
It stands to reason that Tosh was just an elite ghost agent who lost two teams of less than 30 people on Haiwen Star. Why here, in this base, except for a few ghosts, she actually saw Not more troops? !
According to the intelligence she had obtained before, there are at least about a hundred ghost agents in the Avnos base, plus more than five hundred regular troops and staff in other positions!
Could it be that the villain Tuo Xu really took a large number of troops and property and ran away in that fast cruiser? !
"wrong……"
He actually didn't escape in advance?
Soon, Nova detected a strong psionic reaction in a large factory that seemed to have been idle and isolated. When she put on her special goggles, she immediately entered the large factory. , found a special figure.
The figure in the eyepiece, that feeling, and the special psychic sensation deliberately emitted from the other person's body all made her feel familiar to Nova...
That's right, that one must be that bastard Tuo Xu!
"What's going on? Tuosh...what on earth are you doing?"
Nova was a little puzzled when she saw that there was only one psychic reaction in the large vacant factory building.
Where do you ask a person to go and do what? As a once powerful ghost agent and now a ghost killer, there is no way he can't sense danger at all, right?
Then, that damn, notorious Jim Raynor must have managed to reveal the news that he was coming to assassinate Tosh to the other party, right?
Then why is he still staying alone in an empty factory now? There is no one around to protect him?
It stands to reason that in this case, Tuo Xu should hide in a fortress surrounded and protected by his subordinates and strictly guard against his upcoming assassination. Is this reasonable?
"Heh...interesting!"
Are you thinking of me declaring war? Trust?
After once again using her various equipment to test the situation around the large factory and underground, Nova finally made an accurate judgment based on her rich experience: there was no problem with the factory itself, and there were no problems with the surroundings of the factory. There is no guard power!
In the large factory building of Nanuo, there is indeed only one person standing and waiting for his entrustment. The kind of psionic reaction on the other person's body is definitely not fake!
So, now the situation is obvious: Tosh sensed his arrival, and then, he was waiting for him alone, wanting to have a one-on-one personal contest with him? A fair fight?
interesting……
Tuo Xu, why are you so confident that you can beat me now?
So, let me see what you are capable of, right?
You must not disappoint me...
After the detection was completed and confirmed again, Nova turned over and jumped, rushing towards the base below at high speed.
This time, she did not plan to alert any defenders, nor attack any person or building. She needed to save enough strength and psionic energy in her body, and first went to meet the trust who was already waiting for her in the factory.
After successfully killing the opponent, she will go back and destroy the remaining people and the entire base, ensuring that no chickens or dogs are left!
————
"My lord, are you sure that Nova will definitely come?"
Standing in the factory, Tuo Xu, wearing only simple armor, vaguely sensed the arrival of his former lover, the little girl Nova.
Then, while fiddling with his butterfly knife, he looked thoughtfully at the factory door that was still closed.
The factory door is not locked. Anyone, including Nova who secretly invaded the base, can easily press the switch and open the metal door and walk in if she wants to.
"I'm not sure...but she's coming this way now!"
Little Annie didn't even look at Tuosh who was inside the factory. She just sat on a pile of metal ore ingots next to the gate with great interest, sensing the ghost agent running at high speed from a distance.
The opponent's skills were indeed good, with quick movements and flexible reactions. She rushed over without making too much noise, nor did she alert any of the defenders. She also easily evaded every automatic device that detected invisibility, and used At an extremely high speed, he was running towards this side at high speed, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.
It seems for the first time that this ghost agent named Nova is indeed the number one ace of the Tyran Empire’s ghost troops...
Unfortunately, that's all. Her energy level is really low. Even without magic, little Annie has absolute confidence and can beat her to death in minutes with her little fists!
So, this time, she didn't plan to take action directly. She would let Tuo Xu fight with the other party for a while, and she would just watch a show.
Gala, sizzling...
Nova did not let Tuosh and Annie wait long in the factory. Less than a minute had passed since the conversation between the two. The invisible ghost agent opened the door during the boring time after the conversation between the two. He walked through the steel door of the factory and walked in quietly.
"Hi~! Hello, weirdo in invisible clothes?!"
After the other party walked in, little Annie thought about it and immediately waved her hand and said hello to the other party.
"!!"
Hearing a voice greeting her from beside her, Nova immediately raised the electromagnetic sniper rifle in her hand and pointed the muzzle in the direction of the sound.
At this time, Nova, who was no longer wearing the special ghost agent goggles, discovered that in this place, on top of this pile of inconspicuous metal ore ingots, there was a man sitting with his feet dangling, holding a stuffed animal in his arms. Little girl with teddy bear?
This little girl, when she was investigating by herself just now, she didn't find it? Is it because the other party's level of psionic energy is too low?
Thinking about it, it is really possible. If the distance is too far, the special eyepiece will indeed not be able to detect some small units with low vitality or too weak psionic energy level.
After pointing the gun at the opponent's head, for some reason, Nova, who had just had her memory washed away, felt that the little girl in front of her looked familiar?
It seems that I have seen it somewhere?
"Little girl, how did you find me?!"
After thinking about it, Nova slowly lowered the muzzle of her gun, removed her invisibility, and asked at the same time.
She has used the device to scan the little girl several times, and did not find any fluctuations in psionic energy on the other party, nor any weapons and equipment on the other party. This is just a little girl holding a teddy bear, it should be Doesn't it pose any threat to yourself?
However, she was still a little confused. Why was there such a little girl in Tuosh's base, where villains, killers, and mercenaries gathered together? Could it be that she is the daughter of a killer or villain?
And, more importantly, how on earth did she just discover herself?
"You are so stupid! Of course it's because of the footprints!"
While hugging her little bear Tibbers, Annie pretended to be innocent and blinked her cute big eyes, and then pointed at the series of footprints behind the other person.
This factory has been idle for a long time, so under the influence of gravity equipment, a thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground. When Nova stepped on it, it naturally left a series of footprints.
Of course, little Annie would not tell her that even if there were no footprints, she could sense the other person's presence casually. The effect of this pure optical stealth ghost equipment was not very good. With her own ability, she wanted to It's the easiest thing to do if you sense the other person!
"..."
After looking back at the footprints behind her, Nova finally withdrew the muzzle of the rifle in embarrassment and stopped pointing it at the seemingly harmless little girl.
I was really anxious just now and didn't even notice this. Maybe, after I completely destroyed this base, I could be kind and take this little girl away?
"Nova... we finally meet again..."
Seeing that Nova finally gave up on the unscrupulous leader who was sitting on the metal ore ingot by the door and planned to watch the whole show and walked to stand fifty meters in front of him, Tuo Xu smiled and greeted him. Say hello.
How many years have passed since the former lovers met again, but they were at each other's throats with swords and guns, trying to kill her and then quickly... And besides being her assassination target, she probably can no longer remember who she is. Bar?
Boom! ! !
Without thinking, Nova didn't say a word, she just raised her hand and shot!
A hot electromagnetic bullet, after rubbing the barrel and the air inside, whizzed out and shot directly towards the opponent's black head.
As a cold-blooded ghost agent, and having had her memory wiped many times, Nova only knew that the other party was her primary assassination target. How could she possibly talk to him about old times or talk nonsense again?
Therefore, after seeing that the opponent seemed to have no firearms on him, she fired her fastest shot and hit the opponent's black head between the eyebrows.
She believed that with her own skill and reaction, there was absolutely no way for the other party to avoid this distance. He was dead for that promise!
Bang! ! !
There was an unusual sound of a bullet hitting the shield, and then, under Nova's slightly surprised gaze, a thin transparent shield suddenly appeared on the body of Tuosh opposite, and in an instant, he was shot out The bullet bounced away.
Shield? But what exactly is a shield? Plasma shield? It seems, but not quite like...
No wonder, no wonder the other party dares to stand so upright opposite me, it turns out he has something to rely on! Tsk! She thought just now that she could harvest the opponent's head easily, but it seems that she took it too much for granted...
"Nova, you are still the same... young, beautiful, energetic and... ruthless..."
After shaking his head and glancing at the metal slug that flew to the side, Tosh laughed contemptuously.
Looking at the other person's face and beautiful figure, Tuo Xu seemed to be caught up in some beautiful memories. His ferocious, vicious and hateful face showed a rare trace of tenderness.
"Ha! Shield? Is this what you rely on? Trust?"
After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reaction, Nova directly threw a small electromagnetic pulse bomb towards the other party.
This special weapon of the ghost agent can create an electromagnetic pulse area, causing a devastating blow to the energy shields of all units within the target range, and at the same time causing chaos to the energy in the enemy's body, and if the opponent is invisible If the target is hit, it will temporarily appear for a short period of time.
Originally, this kind of weapon was specially developed by the empire and was specially prepared for the Protoss clan, where almost every unit has a shield. But now, since the Tosh in front of him also has this kind of shield, then of course Nova can also use it. Not being stingy, he directly rewarded the opponent with an EMP pulse bomb!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
While the pulse bombs were exploding next to the opponent, Nova raised the muzzle of her gun again and launched a rapid three-shot combo, causing the three sniper bullets to hit the opponent's side with almost the same trajectory. An ugly head shot away.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The next moment, what surprised Nova was: after three equally rapid impact sounds, the three consecutive attacks she just launched were still bounced off by the opponent's shield that should have been weakened or cracked?
How can this be? What technology is this? How could there be a shield that even pulse bombs couldn't break? !
"Nova... you don't have to waste your energy... This kind of shield is different from the ones you have seen before. Simple EMP pulse bombs are ineffective against it!"
After taking a thoughtful look at the unscrupulous leader who was watching the excitement from a distance, Tosh returned his gaze to Nova again.
"Maybe the two of us can have a good talk?"
This time, his goal is to capture Nova alive!
The unscrupulous head of state just made a statement to him. This time, as long as the other party doesn't run away, the head of state will not take action easily. He can only ask him to find a way to capture her alive alone! Therefore, he planned to try first. Can he persuade the other party directly with words?
"Of course I will have a good talk with you, but that person... will only be your head without a body!!!"
After seeing that the opponent's shield seemed to be specifically designed to target high-kinetic firearm attacks, and that some dust and splashing sand seemed to be able to get close to the opponent's body, Nova quickly threw away her rifle, and used her right hand directly from her waist. Suddenly, he pulled out a slender narrow energy sword that emitted blue-white light and resembled the psychic blade of a protoss fanatic.
Then, she turned invisible and started to accelerate, rushing towards Tuosh from a distance of fifty meters.
"snort!!"
puff! ! !
The psychic blade collided with the special butterfly knife that Tuo Xu took out from his waist in an instant, and a dull collision sound was made under the collision of psionic energy from both sides.
Then, Nova's figure had to emerge from invisibility.
"It's useless, Nova! Although your skills have improved, please don't forget that I used to be the captain of your recruit team!"
As Tosh said that, he pushed the opponent away with a strong force on his hand, and at the same time, he directly kicked the opponent's chest and abdomen with his right foot.
It's a pity that this powerful and heavy kick was pushed forward by Nova's free left hand. Then the huge force of the opponent's kick made her body roll back dexterously for a long time. distance.
"Ha! That's not necessarily the case!"
Then, just as Nova landed on the ground, she gave a sweet smile and winked at Tosh. Her strong legs slightly bent and she kicked hard, leaping into the air again and waving her spirit. The energy sword, like a hunting cheetah, pounced directly towards Tosh, and at the same time activated the invisibility function of the ghost armor again, causing his body to disappear in mid-air.
When she reappeared, she was already directly above Tosh, and the slender psychic blade was slashing straight at Tosh's head.
"Nova, maybe you may have forgotten..."
Seeing Nova slashing straight from above and the terrifying blade in the opponent's hand, Tosh did not dodge, avoid or resist. Instead, he raised his butterfly knife and swung it to his right.
puff! !
When Nova directly in front struck his head, the opponent's blade and entire body passed through Tuosh's body in an instant, without causing any harm to Tuosh. Instead, his right side, and another An identical Nova appeared, and the opponent was struggling to resist the powerful blow Tuosh had just given.
After all, although Nova is very powerful, compared to her size and strength, she does not have much advantage when it comes to competing for strength.
"Have you forgotten? These eyes of mine were given by you at the time... Although they are a little uglier now, any disguise is ineffective on me! Your invisibility and your holographic decoy are useless to me. like water off a duck's back!"
As he said that, Tuosh reached out his hand again and clamped the tight right thigh that swept over him.
"Nova, we really should have a serious talk! You may not know that before, we were still lovers..."
Tosh was about to continue saying something, but after Nova discovered that her right leg was tightly clamped in the opponent's arm, she twisted around and kicked her left leg hard towards the opponent's face and chin. .
This forced Tuo Xu to not let go of his left hand and return to defense. He watched helplessly as Nova, who was almost subdued by him, deftly used the strength of his kicks to do a light backflip and landed on the ground more than ten meters away. After kneeling on one knee to absorb the strength, he stood up calmly again.
"I can't believe it, I just remembered something..."
"I really didn't expect that I would kiss you who looks so disgusting? Have I had my memory erased? Why would I think of something like this that makes me feel sick to my stomach at this time?!"
After standing up again, Nova did not attack again.
She knew that it was an extremely foolish thing to blindly attack a prepared Tuoshu without the help of a firearm!
Moreover, the moment when the two parties came into close contact just now seemed to remind her of some very bad things. Maybe what Tuo Xu said on the other side was really right? It seemed that I and him were really lovers before? !
Nova felt uncomfortable all over when she thought that she seemed to have kissed or even rolled across the sheets with the ugly man opposite her!
She couldn't believe it, why was her taste so bad before? Did you actually fall in love with such an ugly thing? Could it be that in the previous ghost school, except for this promise, there was no male animal? !
"..."
Sighing and looking at Nova standing more than ten meters away, Tuo Xu had a complicated expression on his face and did not take action again.
Now the two sides are basically evenly matched. When they are prepared, the general situation is that no one can do anything about the other!
"Nova...you have to listen to me!"
"Believe me! Mengsk is cunning and unscrupulous! He is not worthy of your loyalty! You can join us and resist his rule... Strictly speaking, he and his empire are even yours. Enemy, you may not know that your memory has been wiped, but he was..."
Just when Tosh was about to tell everything he knew, he was rudely interrupted by Nova.
"Shut up!!"
"If you think that you can shake my belief with just a few words, then you are wrong! I voluntarily had my memory wiped out, and your alienation will be of no use to me!"
Seeing that the other party was full of nonsense, not only spreading rumors to slander Emperor Mengsk, but also slandering the Terran Empire for which she was loyal and devoted her life, Nova's face darkened once again, and at the same time she held her psychic rapier across her chest, slightly He crouched down and prepared to launch the second round of attack.
Because her memory clearly told her that she had voluntarily had her memory erased, so she did not accept the other party's words!
"well……"
After sighing again, Tosh could only raise his butterfly knife and prepare to concentrate on dealing with Nova's next more violent attack.
Of course he knows why Nova would be willing to automatically have her memory wiped...
It's nothing more than the family tragedy in childhood and the miserable experiences I suffered when I escaped to the slums...
However, Tosh felt that she, Nova, was still not mature enough, and simply escaping was just self-deception, which was useless.
Besides, he promised that no matter before or now, he didn't care about Nova's past or what she had experienced. What he cared about was actually just her!
Beep! !
Just as Tuosh was preparing to take precautions and Nova was preparing to attack first, a communication device placed on the ground suddenly rang.
This made Tuosh and Nova, who were in the factory building and were about to continue fighting and falling in love with each other, stunned, and then they both turned to look at the equipment.
"Hi! Are you guys okay?"
The communication equipment began to release a holographic communication screen, and then, the golden figure of Galen appeared in it, as well as the proud face with a big mouth in his helmet.
"Are you still preparing for a fight? Well, let me tell you some good news first: The warship hidden on the back of the planet by the ghosts of the empire has now been successfully boarded, attacked and completely occupied by us!"
"Besides, you'd better send some manpower to take over quickly, because almost all the crew members on this ship have been killed by Darius's cruel and bloodthirsty men!"
Carrying his own electromagnetic rifle with a slightly red and smoking barrel on his shoulder, Galen stood in the bridge control room with bullet holes on the wall behind him, and said to the three people who were fighting and watching a show in the factory.
"What cruelty and bloodthirsty? I'm warning you, Galen, don't slander our Noxian team all day long! We are not like you who can open a shield to block bullets. In addition to killing all those with guns and those who are unwilling to surrender, Besides killing them, what else can we do?!"
Just as Galen finished speaking, a Marine 011 in scarlet paint squeezed over. Then, he smiled, hit the communication equipment with his fist, and turned it off arrogantly. Instant messaging between both parties.
"..."
Seeing this, and seeing that the scene behind the Marine in the communication screen was indeed her own ship, Nova took a breath of air, then quickly turned around, looking at Tuosh across from her attentively, Slowly began to back away.
Now, she could not defeat her opponent in a short period of time with a frontal attack. In addition, her battleship hidden on the back of the planet was captured by the opponent. She no longer had the desire to continue fighting.
At this moment, the best choice for Nova is to retreat quickly, use her own stealth shuttle with short-distance navigation, leave here quickly, and send a signal for help or find the nearest one before the energy is exhausted. A colonial base belonging to the Tyranid Empire!
"Surrender, Nova..."
"We have a way to clear the psionic energy emitters and nerve suppressors that the empire has placed in your ghost agents' bodies, and then help you restore your memory. By then, you will be free..."
Seeing that Nova was slowly retreating, Tosh stood up straight and did not press forward. He just put away his butterfly knife, indicating that he had no intention of attacking the opponent, and wanted to take advantage of this tenth level to let him Have a good talk with the other person.
"Hmph! Do you think I will believe you?"
Now that the situation is very bad for her, Nova plans to try to escape from here first.
As for how to successfully escape from here safely under the eyes of the other party, she already had a good idea, so while staring at Tuosh opposite, she slowly retreated towards the steel gate.
"Nova..."
Seeing that Nova had gradually retreated to the door without any intention of listening to his advice, Tosh had to frown and drew out his butterfly knife again, planning to step forward and go all out to stop the opponent. leave here.
Otherwise, once the other party leaves this sealed factory, it will not be so easy to catch her.
"Don't come over! Otherwise, I will kill her right away!!!"
When she saw Tosh draw his weapon and speed up, Nova turned around deftly, left the door switch, and quickly rushed to the little girl who was sitting on the metal ore ingot.
Then, she directly used her psychic sword to lay across the opponent's white and delicate neck.
Now, she has a hostage in hand. If Tuo Xu dares to act rashly, she only needs to wave her hand gently, and the little girl will be killed in an instant!
"Wow! I'm so scared! Uncle Xu, come and save me quickly..."
After pinching Tibbers hard, little Annie managed to accumulate a few tears in her eyes. Then she turned her head and looked helplessly at Tuosh in the distance, and spoke at the same time. Asked for help.
"Sister, please keep this knife away, I'm afraid of pain..."
After clenching her fists, trembling all over and hugging her bear tightly, Annie raised her head and looked into Nova's eyes expectantly with her tear-filled eyes.
"..."
Seeing this little girl's behavior, Nova frowned. After a while, she suppressed her softening heart and made up her mind not to look at the little girl again.
"Well……"
Seeing that the other party did not intend to open the door and escape, but instead changed the route and took a hostage, Tuo Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after being stunned.
"Oh? If you really think so, then please do it!"
Tuosh smiled carelessly and did not stop his steps. Instead, he took several steps forward again.
"Stop immediately and retreat! Don't think I dare not!!"
Seeing that Tosh still had no intention of stopping, Nova quickly brought her sword blade closer to the little girl's neck and shouted at Tosh sternly.
"If you think that I have lost part of my memory and don't know the identity of this little girl? I think she must be very important to you, right?"
"Just now, your eyes rested on her at least several times! And in the communication just now, the two Marines also looked at her at least three times! I think her identity must be important to you. It’s not simple, isn’t it?”
Thinking of this, Nova smiled proudly.
Maybe, today, she didn't completely fail? At least, she caught an important figure of the other party. Although her methods were a bit despicable and despicable, in order to successfully escape from here, she would not care about these details!
"Yes, her identity is indeed very important! Because she is the head of our Federation of Heroes..."
To Nova's surprise, Tuo Xu, who was on the opposite side, not only did not quibble, but also generously revealed the little girl's true identity?
This made Nova stunned for a moment, and her heartbeat could not help but beat faster and faster several times!
She actually caught the head of the Federation of Heroes at this time and in this place? This person's identity seems to be much more important than Tuosh!
If she could capture him alive, she would surely be credited with a great achievement, right? At least this is worthy of assassinating several Tuoshi targets!
"I think you may have misunderstood something... But, Nova, listen to me, you'd better stay away from this little girl, otherwise..."
Bang! ! !
The next moment, a small white fist hit Nova's chest and abdomen in an instant!
Then, Nova discovered that her inner-soft ghost suit, which was said to be able to withstand certain impacts and bullets, was directly dented deeply. Then, a huge force hit her chest, and she was so With his eyes wide open in disbelief, he was hit by the opponent's punch and flew into the air. After rolling around in mid-air, he fell headlong onto the dusty metal of the factory building. above the floor...
"Otherwise...you will definitely regret it..."
Tuoshi, who spoke a little slower, looked at Nova, who was lying on the floor, twitched, then straightened her legs and stopped moving, and then turned to look at her little fist waving, with an excited look on her face, and she was indulging in After beating the little girl in pleasure, he could only sigh and shrug his shoulders helplessly.
"I told you to stay away from our head of state..."
After taking two steps forward and confirming that the other person had just fainted, Tuo Xu bent down slightly, picked him up, and gently rubbed him to wipe away the dust on his face.
That's fine, being knocked unconscious with a punch is much better than being burned to ashes by a fireball...
