From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

"Hello, viewers~! I'm your old friend Robin Meade, and welcome to today's "Seattle Lunchtime News"~!

Behind me is a sealed viewing window that is strong enough to withstand 14mm armor-piercing bullets at close range, and outside the window is a cosmic vacuum filled with lethal radiation and extremely low temperatures.

Of course, the superconducting magnetic field of the space station will block direct radiation for us, so viewers don’t have to worry about the lives of me and photographer Jerry.

But everyone has followed us to browse all the open areas in the space city ten days ago. Alas. Unfortunately, if the alien race had not invaded, we should have accompanied the Atlas engineering team and taken a comfortable and spacious spaceship there. Visiting the capital of the moon.

Good thing! The company fleet dispatched by Atlas won the historic space naval battle ten days ago. It not only saved the earth from danger, but also brought new technological prospects to mankind!

Now please follow me

Here

This way…

Look!

See that white dot a circle smaller than a tennis ball? That is the invasion mothership named the Reaper race!

According to the reliable information obtained by this station, Atlas's scientific research team is reverse-engineering various technologies of the Reaper race. At the same time, Atlas's senior management is also considering and discussing how to properly handle more than two dozen people. One billion Reaper captives.

But I believe it won’t be long before Atlas officials give us an explanation, so just wait patiently.

Okay, next, we will go to the stop of the orbital elevator and continue to show you how spectacular it will be to take the elevator back to the surface! "

Host Robin Meade's words echoed in the lobby of the inpatient department.

Warm sunshine flows in like a trickle from the open windows, and the breeze blows gently, bringing a fresh breath.

The hall in front of you is spacious and bright. In the closed smoking area, or the family members of patients standing in the stairwell chatting, they know how to keep quiet and cooperate with the nurses and doctors walking slowly. It seems that instead of having a lifeless atmosphere, the place is full of hope and tranquility.

at this time;

The holographic screen facing the long row of seats plays the content of "Seattle Lunchtime News", and the real-time time of "February 2001, 2 01:10" is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen.

The "Midday News" field duo first landed in the space city on January 1. Together with the Atlas monitoring satellite deployed to Mars orbit, they noticed that the Reaper mothership had broken into the solar system and was heading straight for the earth. The date is the same day.

However, all the family members of the patients sitting on the bench did not know the details of the live broadcast ten days ago. They simply thought that the hospital randomly found a news program to broadcast.

It is worth mentioning that most of the male family members put down their mobile phones or tablets and watched this news program with great interest.

After all, the female host's hot figure is indeed eye-catching.

Otherwise, the ratings of "Seattle Lunchtime News" have steadily increased. On the one hand, it has launched an in-depth cooperation with Atlas to provide the public with early access to products and technologies that can change the world structure. On the other hand, it has separated from Robin Mead. No relationship.

Among all the patients' family members, there were two faces that seemed too young, looking about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Moreover, the minor family members of this boy and girl were wearing black school uniforms.

If you look closely, you can see that their school uniforms are embellished with red threads, and their collars and cuffs are also decorated with red-painted metal buttons.

On the left chest is the school badge embroidered with a red "Λ" inverted V and the words "New Accra City/Atlas No. 1 Middle School".

In addition to this are the names of the two people, namely "Lena Hoyard" and "Charlie Hoyard".

From this brief information, it can be inferred that the brother and sister, or the inpatient building where the brothers and sisters are located, should be located in New Accra City, which is controlled by Atlas in all aspects.

As for the true identities of these two people, they are the natives of Earth 04 (Netherworld) who immigrated to the main universe Earth with their father.

Their father, Lieutenant Rod Hoylder, is a veteran who has participated in many cross-universe battles, including the interception of the Reaper mothership ten days ago.

It was Second Lieutenant Rod Hoyinder's service for more than three years and his outstanding military exploits that gave his family the qualification to move to New Accra.

Although Iceland on Earth 04 has long since escaped the haze of nuclear winter under the intervention and reconstruction of Atlas, its educational resources, living environment and many other conditions are not comparable to New Accra City.

Therefore, at this stage, the only way for Earth Zero-4 and the natives of other universes to relocate to the main universe is to sign up for the military, stand out from countless competitors, and serve the company for more than three years.

Just at this time;

Ding--!

The warning sound of the elevator opening the gates resounded in the hall.

Tread.

Immediately afterwards, Jaynes Thomson, wearing a black military uniform and a red beret, hurried into the hall.

The veteran, who had been promoted to lieutenant, looked around and quickly fixed his sights on Lena and Charlie.

When the siblings saw that their father's comrade and friend had finally arrived, they all left the bench, walked towards Jaynes and said in unison:

"Uncle Thomson."

"Hey! Forget the polite words, what is your father's ward number?" Jaynes looked slightly anxious.

Hearing this, Lina, as her elder sister, replied: "1407, uncle, do you want it?"

But before she finished speaking, Jaynes left her and her brother behind and disappeared around the right corner.

Shortly after.

In single ward No. 1407;

Swish~——!

As the automatic sensor door opened, Jaynes's low-pitched voice began to echo:

"Old man! You can't die! How can I live without you! Don't die. Don't die! I have to go to the underworld to get you back! Yes! I will"

"Shut up, I'm not dead."

Rhodes' impatience interrupted Jaynes' deliberate pretense.

Rhodes was half lying on the hospital bed, covered with a thin blanket, and was watching the holographic TV with great interest. His expression was as normal, as if he had not been seriously injured.

The thin blanket covering the legs looked extremely dry.

In other words, Rhode's legs were subjected to high-temperature plasma at close range, which caused instantaneous necrosis of muscle tissue and bones. For the sake of subsequent rehabilitation treatment, Rhodes had to undergo amputation surgery as a last resort.

"Didn't I want you to open your eyes? Don't look so sullen. Who knew you were still interested in watching TV?"

While replying to the old man, Jaynes moved a stool to sit next to the hospital bed. Then his tone gradually became heavier and he asked:

"How about it?"

"How's it going? Are you saying it hurts?" Rhodes actually looked at it like that, stretched out his right hand, and patted the two thigh amputation areas:

"Don't worry, the company used nanotechnology to carry out precise excision, and the recovery is fast. I have scabs all over and new flesh has grown. I just keep forgetting that my leg is gone and always want to get out of bed and go to the toilet."
