Human Light Umbrella

But soon, Artemis withdrew his slightly lonely demeanor, smiled slightly at Sui Bian and said:

"With the professional D-1999 in charge of dealing with Hell, the company's burden must be greatly reduced. It seems that this time there is no need for the Gray Knight to solve it."

"... "

Sensing Artemis' mood swings, Sui Bian nodded thoughtfully in response, then he looked at Queen Bai on the right from the corner of his eye and said:

"Play D-1999's family file again."

"Ok."

Chapter 219 The transition between old and new

Raccoon City.

new York.

Los Angeles.

Ranked in terms of population, productivity, culture, technology, and living standards, the above three cities are the top three in North America.

As the location of Umbrella's headquarters, Raccoon City is not only the number one in North America, but also the number one in the world, and even in UEG's entire sphere of influence.

Although New York and Los Angeles seem to be overshadowed by Raccoon City, these two cities are also the top priority of UEG.

What makes Los Angeles more characteristic than Raccoon City and New York is "chaotic".

Just like the literal meaning, there is a serious gap between the rich and the poor in Los Angeles. Rich areas have more police forces to maintain law and order, but slum areas are full of gangs, and incidents of fires, robberies and rapes frequently occur.

Before the establishment of UEG, even in the daytime, residents did not dare to walk through the neighborhoods that were in disorder.

After UEG was established.

With the promulgation of the new constitution and laws, coupled with the strong support of UEG officials, the police began to actively set foot in the neighborhoods where the law and order were relatively chaotic. The public opinion was secretly controlled by Umbrella, so as to avoid the malicious criticism of the public opinion during the normal law enforcement of the police.

At the same time, UEG has invested a lot of money in infrastructure, public education, etc., and the rapid development of technology has greatly improved the law and order in Los Angeles.

The same is true for most of the world.

In Los Angeles today, the blue sky is cloudless, but the scorching sun in summer is high, making the maximum temperature expected to break through the [-] mark.

Looking down from the sky, the first impression is that the overall scale of Los Angeles is not much different from a few years ago, and it seems that no earth-shaking changes have taken place.

If you observe closely at a low altitude, you can find that there is a complete aerial track system in the city, and there are many flying boats shuttling between high-rise buildings and above various blocks.

Most of these flying boats that travel along fixed channels belong to government departments such as the police and municipalities, and a few are privately owned civilian flying boats.

After all, Umbrella only opened the sales channels for civilian airships in March 2012, and it has been less than half a year since August 3 today, so the number is small, and the price is also prohibitive.

In urban streets, holographic technology has become extremely cheap, and advertisements, news, and road signs are all displayed by holographic technology.

Modern technology combined with old-fashioned buildings. Although it is not as neatly planned as Mars City or other colonial cities, the coexistence of old and new feels comfortable.

Los Angeles, and most cities on Earth, are in this transition period.

After working hours and due to the high temperature, there are fewer pedestrians on the street, and the traffic is not too crowded. Near the beach in the southwest, there are many students who are on summer vacation.

Everything seemed peaceful and serene.

But in a city like Los Angeles with a population of more than 600 million, accidents are inevitable.

East of downtown.

On Route 105, which runs through the Lynnwood neighborhood, a serious traffic accident occurred, completely paralyzing the east-to-west side.

The cause was six consecutive rear-end collisions, and the subsequent vehicles hurriedly dodged, causing many vehicles to lose control and crash into the central guardrail and the green belt.

"Move the car! Move!"

"Dude, don't sleep, wake up, the rescue boat is coming soon!"

"Quick! Come and help!"

Drivers and passengers who were not affected spontaneously came to the worst-affected areas to provide help before official rescue arrived.

But soon, two flying boats patrolling nearby, painted in black and white, landed in a wide area nearby.

The airship opened the hatches on both sides, and more than a dozen police officers in black uniforms rushed out of the cabin, half of them carrying fire-fighting tools and first-aid medicines.

Several police officers immediately began to direct the traffic and let the vehicles not affected by the accident leave, so as to make more space for the subsequent flying boats to land.

The police officers carrying tools and medicine kindly dispersed the enthusiastic crowd who wanted to continue to provide assistance, and launched a more professional rescue to avoid secondary injuries to the trapped drivers and passengers.

After the first batch of police officers launched the rescue, within 2 minutes, a large flying boat belonging to the fire department also arrived at the scene of the accident.

Assisted by nearly three dozen firefighters, the pressure on the first officers dropped sharply.

Immediately afterwards, two Yugulls painted in white, resembling a widened and enlarged version, also appeared over Route 105.

The belly is emblazoned with Umbrella's red and white umbrella logo and the words "Los Angeles General Hospital Emergency Boat."

Landing, the rear hatch opens.

Emergency doctors and nurses in white coats and green vests pushed several emergency trolleys out of the cabin, transferred the most seriously injured personnel into the rescue boat, and prepared to perform surgery directly on the spot.

-----

...

After a few minutes.

The interior of one of the rescue boats.

The cabin is divided into several compartments horizontally, and the compartment closest to the tail hatch and the largest space is equipped with three "operation areas" in sequence.

The emergency trolley can be fixed in the center of the area to serve as a temporary operating platform. Several small mechanical arms are installed above the cabin, and the bulkhead is equipped with complete medical equipment.

now.

The pilot closed the doors on both sides of the cabin, and the air filtration and purification system in the cabin provided the doctors and nurses who used the three operating areas to perform operations in a sterile environment no less than that of Class I operating rooms.

Operating area 1.

Lying on the emergency cart was a woman between 25 and 30 years old who fell into a coma after being injected with anesthesia. The clothes on her abdomen were cut and her skin was covered with a large piece of solidified biological foam.

Before the woman was transferred to the emergency boat, she had a large wound on her abdomen, but the police officers who arrived first used biofoam to stop the bleeding, and successfully made the woman persist until now.

An emergency doctor in a white one-piece surgical suit and three nurses are operating on women. The doctors and nurses can directly obtain the physiological status of women through the holographic glasses they wear.

After only observing for a few seconds, the doctor said briefly: "Remove the foam, disinfect, forceps."

The three nurses performed the procedure silently. After completing the above procedures, they cooperated with the doctor to quickly and accurately remove the debris from the woman's body, and then the doctor personally controlled the robotic arm to sew up the woman's wound.

After they completed the operation for the female wounded in operation area 1, the doctors and nurses in operation area 2 and 3 also completed the operation one after another.

Next, the nurses continued to attend to the three wounded who fell into a coma.

The doctors entered the general cabin, completed the disinfection procedure, took off the disposable surgical gowns on the outside, and came to the tail hatch one after another.

"Huh...!" While waiting for the hatch to open, a middle-aged male doctor gasped heavily and said:

"I don't know whether it's good or bad luck today. Before I was on duty, I didn't expect such an accident to happen. Fortunately, the most seriously injured people didn't hurt their internal organs."

"God bless?" A young male doctor answered, and asked the doctor in charge of operating on the female wounded: "What do you think? Ziegler."

2 Chapter Twenty "The Grand Occasion"

"God?"

With shoulder-length blond hair and fair skin, the doctor named Ziegler heard the inquiry, looked at the opening hatch, and replied in a flat tone:

"If the old man really blessed him, then he should have stopped the accident from the very beginning. If you really want to say blessings, it is today's advanced technology that allows us to rush to the scene in time."

"What you said is very reasonable, but my wife's family all believe in God, so I have to keep fearing God. Everyone has their own opinions, haha." The young male doctor said with a smile.

"Hmm." Ziegler responded lightly and stopped expressing any opinions.

Just after the conversation, the hatch was fully opened for the three doctors to leave the emergency cabin together.

outboard.

Firefighters and the police are still dealing with the accident scene and directing traffic, and more ground emergency vehicles are arriving at the scene one after another.

The injured who were slightly injured sat on the public seats beside the green belt, receiving simple treatment from the nurses, while Ziegler and several other emergency doctors who had completed the operation began to check the injuries of the injured one by one.

In the end, the injured were all transferred to two emergency boats and lifted off to the general hospital in downtown Los Angeles.

The scrapped vehicles were transported away, the road was emptied, and the 105 highway gradually became smooth.

As for the forensic investigation and accountability, the local police station had already had the results shortly after the accident happened.

The police departments in all districts of Los Angeles, which do not have to worry about funds, have purchased low-intelligence artificial intelligence made by Umbrella, which is used to cooperate with the surveillance cameras installed in every corner of the city to help maintain law and order and detect various cases.

In addition to assisting the police, the real duty of low-intelligence artificial intelligence is to assist the Red Queen to monitor the entire city.

However, the main responsible persons who caused the accident did not think about the responsibilities of low-intelligence artificial intelligence at all, but considered the maximum amount of insurance they purchased.

...

That night.

On the seaside road at the westernmost end of Los Angeles, a white luxury car was in the traffic flow, heading out of the city.

Inside the car without the sound of the engine.

"?~?~" played soothing music.

Sitting in the driver's seat was Ziegler, who had changed into casual clothes, tied up a short ponytail, and slanted bangs.

At a red light, she lightly stepped on the brakes and stopped at a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

Looking at the 90-second countdown on the signal light, Ziegler shook his head slightly, then turned up the volume of the music a little, and looked out the window at night.

At this time, the beach is holding a party, shooting out neon lights in red and purple tones, and young men and women in swimsuits are enjoying the beautiful summer night.

On the sidewalk, a large number of onlookers and tourists gathered.

She also found a strong father in the crowd, who was chased and beaten by two angry twin daughters who looked about seven or eight years old, while the mother stood not far away covering her mouth and laughing.

"Tick! Tick!"

Suddenly, the rapid whistle from behind made Ziegler a little distracted, and successfully turned his attention back to driving the vehicle.

It turned out that the signal light turned green, and the cars in front, who were keeping a safe distance from her, had already passed the intersection.

Seeing this, she lightly stepped on the accelerator with her right foot, and drove the vehicle forward, while the vehicles behind her stopped complaining and honking.

After driving for about two kilometers, turn right to leave the road, drive into a residential community, come to a three-story house, and finally park the car in the garage on the right side of the house.

Get out of the car and walk out of the garage.

When she saw a black SUV parked across the street, she hesitated for a moment before continuing to walk towards the door.

Before Ziegler unlocked it, a middle-aged woman who looked similar to her opened the door and asked her softly:

"Are you back? How is today, are you tired?"

"It's okay, Mom." Ziegler responded with a smile on his face, walked into the house, and whispered to her mother, "Is there a visitor at home?"

"Well, they're in the living room and they said they came to see you." Her mother looked across the living room.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them."

As Ziegler walked towards the living room, he saw two men in suits with red and white umbrella buttons pinned to their collars.

When the two men in suits saw Ziegler walking into view, they got up and left the sofa. One of them stepped forward, showed his ID and said in a deep voice:

"Doctor Cage, we are the Umbrella Armed Forces, please be sure to come with us."

"What's the matter with you?" Ziegler's mother asked worriedly.

"..." The two men in suits remained silent.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be back soon." Ziegler calmly comforted her mother, and smiled at the men in suits, "Lead the way."

"Thank you for your understanding."
