Human Light Umbrella

The scenery outside the large porthole suddenly changed from the fault space to the dark starry sky, indicating that the Silent Mary had brought them back to the real universe.

The angle of the ship was slightly adjusted, so that Leon and the others could observe their destination from tens of thousands of kilometers away——

Bulton.

This colony is located in the second orbit, with a radius of [-] kilometers and a volume larger than the earth. After the secondary transformation of Umbrella's planetary transformation device, it has become a planet suitable for human habitation.

The atmosphere is thick, and about 55% of the area is ocean, which can be regarded as the complete completion of "terraforming".

But unlike the "blue stars" like Harvest, Arcadia, and Reach, Poulton is more like a "forest green star".

Throwing away the ocean and large freshwater lakes, the entire planet is almost covered by a vast green rainforest, and there are intricate freshwater rivers in the rainforest.

Lyon, who was sitting in the event hall, knew about Poulton through materials and intelligence, but after witnessing it with his own eyes, he still had a sense of sight combining Amazon, Southeast Asia and the African rainforest on Earth.

"hui~!"

Looking at Bulton, the first officer sitting beside Leon couldn't help but whistled, and raised his right hand to put on Leon's shoulder, and said with a low laugh:

"Sir, I wish your mission all the best. It's hot and humid. There's no Vitalieva's source of life in Poulton to quench your thirst, haha."

"Looks like it is." Leon nodded.

"This is the bridge." The captain's voice came from the ship's radio at the right time: "Everyone is ready to unload, and Agent Kennedy is also asked to get ready to disembark."

"Yo hoo! Start working!"

Hearing the announcement, the crew got up and left the event hall one after another. Leon also joined the leaving team and went back to his dormitory to tidy up.

overboard.

The Silent Mary adjusted the angle and engine power again to avoid the formation of a black barrier and lead everyone into the atmosphere unimpeded.

Descend to a kilometer altitude.

After skimming the calm blue sea and continuing to sail for a few minutes, the Silent Mary began to slow down, and finally arrived at a star port by the sea that was specially provided for cargo ships.

The Silent Mary slowed down and entered one of the docking areas similar to a dock.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides of the docking area released lavender light, forming a vague position, replacing the previous giant mechanical arm to fix the hull.

Come to a complete stop.

The engine light at the stern of the Silent Mary dimmed, opened the gates on both sides of the belly cargo hold, and stretched out a nearly 20-meter-wide "step" to allow the crew to unload the cargo in the docking area.

in the cargo hold.

The crew drove the engineering armor that looked like an SCV but was a few sizes smaller, and moved the metal cargo boxes out of the cargo hold one by one.

And Lyon, who was carrying a black travel bag, also walked out of the cargo hold through the pedals, and came to the docking area where a large number of cargo boxes and busy workers were piled up.

At the same time, he also felt the unique welcome from Poulton...

It was unbearably hot.

The moment he walked out of the cool cargo hold, he was exposed to the dazzling and venomous scorching sun. The temperature felt at least above 40c, and even the air began to "distort".

"call…!"

Leon, whose forehead was already dripping with sweat, raised his left hand to block the sun, took a deep breath, picked up his travel bag and walked towards the elevator in the parking area.

When he walked into the air-conditioned elevator, he finally felt much better.

But looking at the street "surrounded" by trees below the window, Leon felt a bit of regret that he didn't contact the local intelligence department directly, and sent a company vehicle or aerial vehicle to take him directly out of Starport.

But only a little bit of regret.

In view of the lack of information obtained and the fact that it looked plain on the surface, Leon chose to take a civilian cargo ship of the company and secretly arrived in Poulton to conduct his own investigation.

After unloading part of the cargo, the Silent Mary will leave the star port non-stop, and then leave Poulton to go to another colonial planet, which is convenient for Leon who took a "flying boat".

Thinking room.

The elevator reached the ground, and Lyon had to walk out of the cool, comfortable air-conditioned area and return to the sweltering environment.

The starport and the neighborhood below are suburban, with sidewalks, streets, and airways appearing empty.

Most of the ground vehicles and flying boats are cargo-type. Private cars and boats are rare, and there are no taxis that are most often taken in Lyon.

Fortunately, he had already booked an air taxi with his mobile phone.

Waited for a while on the side of the street.

A flying boat painted in black and yellow with a "rental" sign on the top deviated from the course and landed smoothly in front of Leon.

The "car door" opened automatically, and Leon sat in the co-pilot, put the travel bag under his feet and fastened his seat belt. The driver wearing sunglasses and a beard drove him away from the ground, into the star port and into the airway, across the rainforest toward Drive to the northern city.

I glanced at the "green sea" below, and then looked up at the cloudless clear sky.

Leon said with emotion: "I've heard about the temperature in Poulton, but I didn't expect it to be so stuffy here, it's unbearable."

"It's still a job. In fact, it will be fine if it rains. Is this your first time, buddy?" The driver asked back.

"Yes, on a business trip." Leon didn't deny it, and added in a tone of remorse:

"The company asked to expand the business to Pulton. If it weren't for the itinerary and expense subsidies, I would not have taken up this job."

Hearing what Leon said, the driver smiled, and began to answer the conversation:

"Understood, and buddy, you haven't caught up with the good times. Poulton has been a bit messy recently. If you had come half a month earlier, maybe you could find a guide to take you on a rainforest adventure."

"Oh? It's messy? Could it be a pirate?" Leon asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Basically, it's a virtue anyway." When he met a passenger who was willing to talk, the driver explained with nothing to hide:

"Half a month ago, a group of demented Jilahani tribe used their dilapidated warships to clamor to burn Poulton into glass."

"I know this. It's been reported on the news. Not only Poulton, but other colonies have also encountered harassment, but they should have been wiped out by our fleet long ago." Leon echoed.

"That's right, but those bastards fled to the ground. You see, buddy, our Pulton rainforest is dense, which completely provides a natural barrier for those bastards."

Having said that, the driver paused, glanced at Leon from the corner of his eye and reminded him kindly: "So it's best not to go deep into the rainforest until the army wipes them out completely."

"Well, don't worry, I really hate small things like bugs, even if the Jiralhani tribe didn't make trouble, I wouldn't go on any rainforest adventure.

correct…"

Next.

Lyon asked the driver more about Poulton and various gossip with the attitude of a young man humbly asking for advice.

For example, which neighborhoods are the most chaotic, which neighborhoods gangs gather, and the driver kindly provided the specific locations of several "red lights".

During the period of Lyon's cliché.

They also followed the waterway to a city covering an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers and surrounded by rainforest.

There are only a dozen mega-structured apartments located in the city center, and the rest of the area are normal-height buildings, especially in the area where it meets the rainforest, most of them are two- and three-story houses.

Sailing for a while.

The driver drove the flying boat into a low-altitude channel, and finally landed on the east side of the city, a public parking lot close to the rainforest area.

Complete the payment.

After getting off the car with the travel bag, Lyon walked out of the parking lot and walked on the streets with a lot of shops, restaurants and hotels on both sides.

Most of the people here wear short-sleeved shorts, and some people who are afraid of getting sunburned, or who are afraid of mosquito bites, dress up like Lyon.

Moreover, there are not only humans here, but also many elites wearing Hawaiian-style clothing, sun hats or sunglasses.

After forming an alliance for 14 years, the trade, communication, and cooperation between humans and elites have become increasingly close.

Especially in the border fortress star area, the younger generation of elites have already integrated into human society, gradually "humanizing" unconsciously.

Chapter 282 Race in Fantasy and Epic Movies

In the single room on the east side of the hotel.

Throwing the travel bag on the ground, turning on the central air conditioner, and closing the curtains, Leon turned around, took out the special agent's mobile phone to operate, and searched every corner.

According to the process and professional habits, after ensuring that the space he was in was free from any snooping and monitoring equipment, Leon sat on the bedside to rest.

Looking at the simple decoration, which tends to be in the 90s and [-]s motel rooms as a whole, he can't help feeling nostalgic.

But the holographic imaging device on the ceiling tells Leon that it is the 21s of the 80st century, and he is also on the "Sen Green Star", which is 470 light-years away from the earth.

Slow down.

Lyon operated the mobile phone, wrote the information he investigated into a report, uploaded it to the company, and shared it with his subordinates scattered on the border of the fortress. .

After talking with the driver, and based on decades of investigation experience, the Kirahani are not simply "convulsions."

Although until now, there are still a large number of ghost-faced beasts (Kirahani clan) who are trying to restore the covenant empire, but they have extreme "ptsd" for humans, especially for the Primarch and Astartes.

Therefore, they only dared to scurry back and forth in the former covenant empire, basically they did not dare to step into the human territory.

Only a very small number of radical guys, in order to "improve life" and revenge, evolved into a pirate organization, and from time to time invaded the border fortress star area on a small scale.

As a result, they were either annihilated or beaten and expelled.

The border fortress star area, just by looking at the name, you can tell that the garrison force is strong but not weak, not to mention John, who has the top combat power in the Primarch, and the Spartan Legion, which is both offensive and defensive, and good at teamwork.

In addition to the star area, a total of 20% of the reserves from each legion were deployed, which was much higher than other star areas.

From this point of view, the group of ghost-faced beasts half a month ago were purely here to die.

This is kind of weird.

Moreover, the ghost-faced beasts saved a large number of ground troops, carrying supplies and armored vehicles and escaped to Pulton, which is full of rainforests, or colonial planets with complex terrain.

Leon always felt that the ghost-faced beast's actions seemed to be radical suicide revenge, but they were actually attracting the attention of the human military and intelligence department.

Or in the star area, there are things worthy of ghost-faced beasts desperately looking for and digging.

Therefore, in the uploaded report, Lyon deliberately marked his various speculations and opinions.

Followed by.

Leon put away his mobile phone, unzipped the travel bag, and disarmed a plasma grenade with biosensor safety.

Re-zipped the zipper, got up and put the travel bag into the closet, and packed up the clothes before leaving the single room.

outside the room.

It is a corridor with the same sense of age. Leon walks to the lobby through the stairs at the end, and nods with a smile, responding to the boss sitting behind the reception desk and saying, "Brother, are you going to go shopping?"

Come outside the hotel.

The city where Lyon is located has ushered in the evening of Poulton. Various lights on the street are lit up, and holographic images emitting various colors are also emerging.

On the contrary, the sweltering weather does not cool down due to the absence of stars, and the temperature remains stable at around 38°C.

And the number of pedestrians on the street has not decreased due to the approaching night. On the contrary, this city named Budapest has just begun to enter a "normal" state.

Nightlife is the main theme of Budapene or the whole of Poulton.

As the innkeeper said, Leon was indeed planning to take a stroll, after all, information and clues would not come to him on his own initiative.

Walking along the street to the easternmost side of Budapestini, the closer you get to the intersection of the city and the rainforest, Lyon will find that the crowds are getting more and more complicated.

There are three or five people gathered together, and you can tell they are gang members at a glance.

But this group of people didn't swagger or swagger, but walked normally, and they didn't take the initiative to provoke troubles to avoid attracting the attention of the sheriff on patrol.

When Lyon walked around the corner, through the alleys, and came to one of the streets mentioned by the driver, full of pink lights and holographic imaging, he also saw men and women with heavy makeup and beauties standing in various bars, Solicit customers in front of the nightclub entrance.

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

Lyon, who has lived for a century, still understands this truth very well. The only way to eradicate it is to remove the "impurities" in human nature.

Regardless of whether it can be eliminated, if it is really eliminated, whether it can continue to be called a "human being" is a huge question mark.

live long.

Lyon sometimes considers some "philosophical issues", but most of the time he just asks for troubles, so he gradually doesn't bother to worry about them.

At this time.

"Brother~." A woman in a purple skirt and red high-heeled shoes approached Leon and said in a charming voice:

"Come in for a glass of wine~, there is a discount today~."

heard.
