Human Light Umbrella

Until today, February 2022, 2, in just three months, through the cooperation and efforts of the police, customs and other departments, the phenomenon of buying and selling has been effectively controlled.

Due to luck, he blindly trusted the car dealer's explosive head, and he had to follow the police back to the police station to make a statement, and then he was punished for dangerous driving.

However, the car dealer who cheated for money entered the police station half an hour earlier than the afro.

After the police flying boat took off, the streets returned to normal, and tourists continued to enjoy the summer at the southernmost tip of Africa.

This extremely modern city is the second-ranked Elizabeth City in Africa, located in Port Elizabeth by the sea, and is also the second largest star port in Africa.

All kinds of engineering ships, mining ships and large cruise ships hovering above the coastline are one of the reasons why Elizabeth City has many tourists.

Twenty kilometers northwest of Elizabeth City, on the desert plain, there is a UNSC base large enough to accommodate 3 people.

On the airport of the base, there are a large number of dark green painted Pelicans, Dagger bombers and other transport boats and attack aircraft, as well as many small assault boats in the atmosphere.

Looking down at the entire base from the air, in addition to a full range of air vehicles, the ground vehicles are mostly off-road vehicles and light armor, but there are a few Scorpion main battle tanks.

At this moment, in the open space and playground to the east of the base, a large number of soldiers wearing black short-sleeves and desert-colored combat pants are conducting high-intensity training.

On one of the playgrounds, soldiers in groups of five or five were running around the playground carrying a solid log together.

On the three flagpoles in the center of the playground, there are flags of UGE and UNSC, as well as a military flag with an upside-down dagger printed on fire.

The words "UNSC [-]th Airborne Division" are also printed around the dagger.

Including ground staff, civilian staff and various personnel, the UNSC Ninth Airborne Division has a total of more than [-] people.

However, the actual number of people in the base was around [-], most of whom were "recruits" who failed to meet the standards. The other [-] were deployed to UNSC naval ships.

Although they are recruits, their physical fitness and reaction speed far exceed that of ordinary marines or army.

After all, the duty of the airborne troops is to take an airborne pod that can accommodate four people, directly leave the atmosphere of the naval ship, and quickly strike ground targets.

Essentially, the same as Umbrella's ODST Company.

Therefore, the nine airborne divisions under the UNSC are the elite second only to the special command.

An office building in the center of the base.

In an office on the fifth floor.

A gray-haired officer in his early 50s with the rank of colonel on his collar is sitting behind his desk.

As if he didn't like high technology, the colonel read the paper documents to learn about the current situation of the airborne division.

"Shua~—."

At this moment, the sound of the automatic door opening and closing resounded throughout the office.

The colonel, who heard the movement, didn't take his eyes off the opening of the document and said, "Is there anything important, Second Lieutenant."

However, the voice fell for a few seconds, and the "Second Lieutenant" did not reply.

?

The colonel, who sensed that something was wrong, raised his head, but he didn't see the second lieutenant who assisted him with his daily work at all, and he was still alone in the office.

See here.

The colonel frowned vigilantly, and didn't bother to think about personal preferences, so he directly called up the holographic screen on the desk and contacted the second lieutenant.

When the second lieutenant appeared on the screen, the colonel said, "Second lieutenant, let the maintenance personnel come to my office."

"Yes, sir."

Within 2 minutes after the end of the communication, the automatic door opened again.

But this time, it wasn't as "haunted" as before, but the second lieutenant led two maintenance personnel also wearing military uniforms into the office.

"Check the door of my office," said the Colonel.

"Yes."

Two maintenance personnel began to check the automatic door and the terminal installed on the wall, and finally a maintenance personnel reported:

"Colonel, the wiring of the automatic door is indeed a little old. May I ask you to replace it with a new one now?"

"Well, change it."

The colonel nodded in response, and felt ridiculous for making a fuss over the sudden opening and closing of the automatic door just now, and being too nervous.

But in fact, a "ghost" that cannot be observed with the naked eye left the colonel's office by taking advantage of the gap between the second lieutenant and the maintenance personnel to open the automatic door.

If the "ghost" can be outlined, it will only highlight a figure with almost perfect proportions, and she is the first batch of ghost agents taught by Sui Bian himself——

Nova.

The purpose of her coming here is to assist the Red Queen to thoroughly grasp the detailed information of all officers at the rank of lieutenant and above in the newly established [-]th Airborne Division of the UNSC.

For example, whether the mood is irritable, whether the behavior is cautious and so on.

The Red Queen can use big data for analysis, but on-the-spot investigations confirmed that ghost agents with psionic perception like Nova are still needed.

After obtaining accurate information, once the abnormal event is detected near the place where the incident occurred, there are combat personnel from the Ninth Airborne Division...

Then the Red Queen can rely on the character of each officer and give them different instructions to assist Umbrella in handling the incident more efficiently.

This kind of "investigation" task is equivalent to relaxation and pastime for Nova, who has extremely strong spiritual power.

She came to the central hall on the fifth floor, used the walking stairs to avoid the officers who were also walking on the stairs, and prepared to leave the office building.

"Di-! Di-!"

"Attention everyone! Elizabeth City is under attack!"

But suddenly, the entire base sounded the alarm and broadcast reminders, making Nova no longer in a leisurely mood.

Chapter 225 "Be Prepared", "Beast Body" and "Door"

"Elizabeth City has been attacked, all personnel are requested to prepare for battle immediately!"

!

Hearing the announcement and the alarm, the civilian soldiers who were also walking on the stairs suddenly looked solemn and hurried towards their respective offices.

Wearing a hostile environment combat suit (HES) and holding a custom-made sniper rifle, Nova also stepped up and left here silently.

Rushing outside the building, Nova came to the inner street of the base, listening to the still piercing alarm and observing the surroundings.

The recruits dropped their heavy training props and ran towards the equipment warehouses of their respective companies.

There were already quite a few assault boats on the other side of the airport. They were fully armed, and the paratroopers sitting on both sides of the cabin with their legs stretched out of the cabin quickly lifted off and flew towards Elizabeth City in the southeast.

Accompanied by the flight, there is also a medium-sized attack craft that looks like an armed helicopter without propeller wings, but can only navigate in the atmosphere.

Followed by several Pelicans.

As for the large transport boats that can accommodate more soldiers, the engines are on standby.

After all, the first to take off was the rapid response force, and they were ready as soon as the alarm sounded, and took off directly on the vehicle.

At this moment, Nova attached the sniper rifle to her back, walked through the urgently mobilized base, and ran to the west airport.

And use the communication channel that UNSC cannot detect to directly contact the Red Queen:

"Employee number X018, discovered a suspected anomalous phenomenon intrusion incident, and planned to use UNSC vehicles to rush to the scene, requesting more intelligence support."

Done.

Nova, who has improved her physical fitness due to HES, has already rushed to the west airport, and then approached a large transport boat with the rear hatch opened.

With a light jump, it landed silently on the top of the transport boat.

In the communication at this time, there was also a reply from the Red Queen:

"According to the surveillance cameras and reports from local employees, it can be known that a large number of animal-shaped abnormal creatures that are hostile to humans and all living things have poured out of the sea and are wreaking havoc in Elizabeth City.

Currently, the UNSC's 78th Airborne Division, 103th, [-]rd Infantry Division and [-]nd Fleet are responsible.

As for the company, the Bloodtear is rushing to the sky above Elizabeth City. If the UNSC is unable to deal with it, the Bloodtear will directly intervene.

Employee X018, your mission has been updated to enter Elizabeth City and secretly assist our staff in assessing the threat level of this anomalous phenomenon.

Meanwhile, get as close to the beach as possible to investigate the source of the anomalous creatures. "

"X018 received." Nova replied softly.

End the conversation.

The last few paratroopers wearing fully-sealed individual equipment, painted in desert colors, and holding pulse guns also entered the cabin under Nova's feet.

The hatch is closed.

The large transport boat rose steadily to a height of about 50 meters above the ground, adjusted its direction, and then accelerated to approach Elizabeth City.

Nova, who was half squatting on the top of the transport boat, didn't have to worry about the possibility of being thrown off. After all, HES is the best equipment in Umbrella for sneaking, and it has an excellent magnetic adsorption function.

And this time, a large number of transport boats, Pelican, assault boats, and attack boats left the base.

The first main flight formation of the Ninth Airborne Division flew quickly across the land of Africa at low altitude.

But the soldiers sitting in the cabin didn't have any intention to appreciate the scenery outside, and all of them felt heavy.

With an average age of twenty or so, their childhood was in the transition period between UEG and UNSC.

At that time, there were always reports and discussions of "war" and "famine" in the news and on the Internet, but after 2010, they became less and less, until they were rare.

Especially war.

This group of recruits from all over the world, and even the entire solar system, has gone through the most peaceful and stable stage of rapid development of mankind from being able to remember, going to school, to graduating, and then joining the army.

And there are many reasons why they join the force.

For example, influenced by sci-fi movies, comics and games, coupled with handsome equipment, he signed up to join the army out of enthusiasm.

There are also purely for money, or purely because they can travel the universe with the fleet for "free", and finally come to the base of the Ninth Airborne Division to receive training.

No matter what the reason is, after enlisting in the army, there is a unified belief——

Follow orders and protect humanity.

just now.

Through the helmet screen, the recruits learned that the one who attacked Elizabeth was not a human being, but a "beast body" with gray skin, sharp claws and fangs, and a body much larger than a tiger...

It is impossible not to be nervous, but also confused about what this group of beast bodies are.

alien?

Or a monster?

But they train hard and are equipped with advanced weapons and armor "transformed" from tax money, isn't it just for now?

As for Nova, who could sense the emotions of the recruits, she had made similar preparations more than ten years ago.

Within half a minute after the flight formation left the base, Elizabeth City, which was billowing with gunpowder smoke, and the vast and boundless ocean appeared in her field of vision.

When the flight formation was about to approach the urban area, she closed her eyes slightly, and quickly expanded the range of psychic perception.

The first emotional feedback felt was the panic, anxiety and grief of losing loved ones caused by the animal attack.

However, there is "peace of mind" mixed in with it.

It seems that the police and the quick-response forces who arrived first gave the citizens enough sense of security.

On the other side of the animal body, Nova only felt the killing, and had no other emotions.

She thinks that the beast body is not a naturally occurring abnormal creature at all, it is more like being deliberately "programmed", with simple thinking...

Biological weapon?

Nova, who came to this guess, stopped releasing the expansion action that consumed her physical strength and energy too much.

Open your eyes.

It was found that the flight formation had entered the sky above the city, and the formation was divided into more than ten groups to rush to help all parts of the city.

And the transport boat she used as a "free ride" came to the city center with two Pelicans and more than a dozen assault boats and attack boats.

The transport boat and the Pelican slowed down, hovered over the most spacious main road in the city center, and prepared to land on the ground.

The more flexible assault boat landed on the roofs of the buildings on both sides of the main road, unloading a small group of airborne troops to occupy the high place.

The attack boat, which descended at the same height, maintained a height of [-] meters above the ground, tilting ammunition toward the piles of running beasts towards the south of the street.
