Human Light Umbrella

So Internet cafes are their best choice.

Moreover, those who have reached the age of [-] are legally compliant under the rules specified by UEG, but there is a time limit, which cannot exceed four hours.

It didn't take long for all the high school students to choose their seats.

After closing the sliding door, Tom stepped onto a platform similar to a treadmill, fastened the fixing belt and seat belt, took off the helmet to adjust the tightness, then used the holographic screen automatically presented in front of him to select the game, put on the helmet, and was ready to go to the appointment. Great place to meet up with your buddies.

only…

As soon as the helmet screen was turned on, it quickly returned to dim, and through the reflection of the mirror, Tom could clearly see his somewhat dazed face.

crashed?

shouldn't...

Suspicious, he took off his helmet, and just when he was about to untie the fixing belt and seat belt, a sudden "Boom!" sounded around, and the ground trembled violently uncontrollably.

? ? ! !

"This is... ah!!"

Before he could shout "What's the situation with this body!", he couldn't control his voice because of the strong sense of falling and the collapse of the ground.

Outside the single room…

In other words, the outside of the Internet cafe, and even the low-rise commercial buildings where the Internet cafe is located, are rapidly collapsing downwards, and the entire building has "disappeared" almost instantly.

The billowing smoke generated by the collapse hit the surroundings.

! !

This sudden change made people walking and wandering on the street confused about the situation for a while, and instinctively fled the subsidence area and thick smoke.

However, there are always bold and enthusiastic people, even though they have witnessed the whole process of the subsidence, they still ignore the obstruction of the thick smoke, "go upstream" by covering their mouths and noses, and rush to the subsidence area in the opposite direction.

Wait until the smoke gradually dissipates.

Enthusiastic people standing on the edge of the collapsed area looked down and found that underground systems such as subways and sewage channels were also severely damaged.

All of this was not caused by geological movement or some kind of man-made accident. At the bottom of the collapsed area, there was a vortex entrance that was like a battleship or a ship sailing into the fault space, and emitted a faint blue light.

The visual diameter is about 30 meters.

Vortex entrance?

How can this help?

A group of enthusiastic people looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this moment, two security flying boats patrolling nearby responded to the command of the main station and rushed straight to the sky above the block.

Descend into the open.

The four security officers equipped with mechanical skeletons and protective gear immediately left the flying boat to disperse the crowd that gradually gathered to watch.

One of the security officers walked towards the edge of the collapsed area, and used the loudspeaker function of his helmet to remind enthusiastic people to stay away from here as soon as possible. After he also walked to the edge to check the situation, he was also surprised and sighed involuntarily:

"my God…"

Afterwards, the security officer immediately opened the communication and said: "Headquarters, this is KE09, which responded to the collapse of the 116th Commercial Street in District 22379 of the Metropolis. It is uploading the situation on the scene and applying for more professional personnel to assist in handling this incident. .”

"Understood." A female operator responded immediately through the communication: "More security officers are rushing to the collapse site. Please stabilize the situation first and evacuate the crowd."

"KE22379 received."

Next, more and more airships from the Sheriff's Department, the Fire Department, and the Trauma Response Team arrived on the block.

The sheriffs established the isolation zone, and the trauma team treated some people who were injured due to panic. However, the firefighters were unable to directly carry out rescue operations.

After the collapse accident, within 5 minutes, a large transport boat with a black exterior and red and white umbrella logos printed on its sides and belly, escorted by two atmospheric assault boats, appeared above this place. .

lower the altitude.

Before touching the ground, the assault boat took the lead in opening the hatches on both sides, and unloaded more than 20 "soldiers" wearing special power armor and holding customized laser rifles to the edge of the collapsed area.

Immediately afterwards, two assault boats quickly lifted into the air and began to circle and guard.

The large transport boat was completely moored to the ground, and the tail and side hatches were lowered, allowing a large number of technicians holding silver equipment boxes, as well as several people dressed in suits and sunglasses to leave the cabin.

At this time, the "soldiers" have taken over the right to blockade the edge of the collapse from a group of sheriffs who were a little confused, so that it is convenient for technicians to analyze and investigate the "vortex" at the bottom.

And those people in suits and sunglasses went straight to the temporary command center established by the sheriff. The first one took out a chip-shaped exclusive mobile phone from the inner pocket of the suit, showed his identity information to a sheriff sergeant, and said coldly:

"Umbrella's Emergency Response Department has full authority to take over this incident, Sergeant, tell your people to stay away from the collapsed area, and assist us in sealing it up to prevent people from entering this place by mistake."

"Emergency Emergency Response Department..." After confirming the identity of the man in the suit through the holographic glasses he was wearing, the sergeant no longer had any doubts, and then nodded and replied:

"Okay, then I will leave it to you experts."

Chapter 295 Pillars and Egg Cases

Inside the collapsed area.

On the two sides above the vortex, there are broken subway tunnels that have stopped operating, and a group of technicians are investigating the vortex on the edges of the two sides with the equipment and instruments they brought.

There are also four teams with more than [-] "soldiers" on guard on both sides to ensure the safety of the technicians.

In fact, this group is "employees" belonging to the Umbrella Intelligence Department, but the Intelligence Department has various names for the outside world, such as...

"Foreign Creatures Response Section"

Or the "Biochemical Spill Response Team"

And the guy in the sunglasses, what the Sheriff Sergeant called "Emergency Response."

As for these well-equipped "soldiers", they are the emergency response team of the local intelligence department.

At this time, one of the technicians used a "chip"-shaped tablet computer that was the size of an A4 paper and could be folded multiple times to control a wired spider-type reconnaissance aircraft and climb through the broken tunnels and walls.

After the football-sized reconnaissance plane passed through the vortex, the tablet computer also showed a picture of the other end of the vortex.

It was a dark space with almost no natural light, and after passing through the vortex, the reconnaissance plane quickly fell downward as if stepping on the air.

The screen keeps flipping.

Soon, the reconnaissance plane fell to the bottom.

The technician switched the observation mode and turned on the night vision function, and found that this space seemed to be the underground system of a certain city, but it was more spacious and empty.

And during the period when the reconnaissance plane fell, other technicians had already completed a brief analysis of the other end of the vortex through the collected data.

It is concluded that the atmospheric composition, gravity and other data at the other end are similar to the human parent star, and some data are completely consistent with the earth.

"Ah... help..."

"Where is this, Tom? Zach... are you all okay..."

"My legs...! Legs!"

At the same time, the reconnaissance plane also captured the sound of people calling for help, asking and shouting.

The place where it fell was on top of the ruins of the building.

The reconnaissance plane climbed to the nearest sound source, and saw the short boy who said "It would be great if I had an elf wife", the lower half of his body was pressed under the metal plate, and he kept yelling the name of his classmate.

see this situation.

The second lieutenant in charge of commanding the on-site emergency team asked the technician beside him, "Are there any spiritual fluctuations?"

"Not at all." The technician shook his head and replied: "We have not detected any signs of different dimensions, and based on the existing data, the nature of this vortex seems to be... some kind of portal, leading to Another planet, or even a portal to another universe."

"Another universe?" The second lieutenant didn't show any surprise when he got this kind of answer.

After all, such abnormal phenomena as the "portal gate" are not enough to shock and surprise Umbrella's internal staff.

The truth is "routine".

After thinking for a while, the second lieutenant immediately turned on the communication to report to his superiors, applying for more personnel and equipment support, preparing to carry out a detailed investigation on the other side of the vortex, and rescue the survivors of the collapse accident.

Complete the debrief.

The second lieutenant ordered again: "The Alpha team will continue to stay behind, and the Charlie, Delta and Rama teams will follow me through the vortex to conduct on-the-spot investigation."

"Yes."

"let's go."

As the second lieutenant said, he walked to the edge of the fractured tunnel, and without any hesitation or hesitation, he stepped forward and fell towards the vortex below.

More than a dozen members of the emergency response team followed.

They first fell freely through the vortex, and then deployed the small air jets on the back and waist of the power armor to buffer and adjust the angle, and finally fell smoothly to the edge of the ruins to avoid causing secondary damage to the survivors.

Followed by.

The three teams quickly dispersed, armed with guns to guard the surroundings, and used the helmet screen to look around.

The area they are in, or the diameter of the underground passage is equal to the diameter of the vortex, which is also 30 meters wide.

The sluggish flow of sewage, less than half a knee high, indicated that the collapsed area was flanked by dark, damp sewers, not dissimilar in structure from those in the colonial metropolis.

After confirming that there is no threat nearby, the Delta and Rama teams continued to advance to the two sides and continued to carry out the reconnaissance mission.

The second lieutenant and Charlie's team used the power boost provided by the power armor to temporarily act as a firefighter, trying to rescue people who had suddenly collapsed.

The second lieutenant approached the short boy.

With the help of the weak light, the boy vaguely saw the second lieutenant approaching him, he could hardly contain his excitement, and wanted to call for help.

However, the second lieutenant, who had already arrived near the boy, observed the situation and considered how to rescue him, and at the same time turned on the helmet's external function, and imitated the words commonly used by firefighters to all survivors, and comforted him:

"Everyone don't panic, we will launch a rescue operation, and more rescues are on the way, please rest assured, we will definitely get you out of here."

talking.

The screen on the helmet gave the stress point of the metal plate, so the second lieutenant, according to the information presented, adsorbed the laser rifle to his back, bent his knees and squatted halfway, clasped the edge of the metal plate with both hands and lifted it up forcefully.

Looking inside, seeing that the boy had no obvious trauma, he completely lifted the metal plate.

"Thank you!" The boy who had regained his freedom quickly thanked him.

The second lieutenant just nodded slightly in response, and told the boy: "Lie down first and don't move around casually, next..."

"Second Lieutenant, we have discovered some... special circumstances." However, at this moment, the leader of the Lama team, who was a sergeant, interrupted the second lieutenant's words on the communication.

And on the right side of the screen of the second lieutenant's helmet, there is also a real-time image shared by the sergeant.

!

Seeing the real-time screen content, the second lieutenant immediately left the ruins, ran quickly towards the passage indicated by "North" on the helmet screen, and rushed to the end of the passage that the Rama team was in charge of investigating.

This end is a "t"-shaped intersection corner, where the sewage from other areas converges and flows together to the east side channel with a sloping angle and a low terrain.

Three members of the Rama team stayed at the corner of the "t" for vigilance, while the other two members squatted in the east tunnel not far from the corner, about [-] meters away. Among them was the sergeant who shared the real-time picture .

As for the reason why the two sergeants could not continue to investigate forward, it was because the east passageway had already collapsed, and the turbulent sewage was like a muddy waterfall, pouring out continuously.

And outside...

is the surface of the planet.

A land shrouded in thick clouds, filled with lightning and thunder, barren and desolate.

But it cannot be said to be completely "desolate". After all, there are countless and neatly arranged giant "towers" standing here.

And on the "pillar", there are densely packed egg sheath structures that radiate red light, like "worm eggs".

Chapter 296 Human Beings Raised and Experimented by Artificial Intelligence

pylon...

egg case…

The second lieutenant under the helmet looked dignified. He walked to the side of the two sergeants through the right side of the channel, which was higher than the sewage, and also chose to squat halfway to observe the outside world.

His eyes "focused" on a giant tower closest to them, and the helmet screen also locked on it, zooming in so that the second lieutenant could see some details clearly.

At the same time, the Power Armor also completed the scan, displaying relevant data on both sides of the screen.

According to the scanned data, the second lieutenant can know that these neatly arranged giant towers are about 400 meters long, and those protruding and neatly arranged egg cases are about 1.7 meters long.
