From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

2 month 25 day.

Aldgard, the capital of Harvest.

The stars are about to "set" at this moment, and the sunset shines on this human city covering an area of ​​about 30,000 square kilometers.

Although it is the capital, Odegat only has a dozen buildings with a floor height of more than 100 meters, standing in the core area of ​​the city, except for six orbital elevators that go straight to the sky.

One of them is the Governor's Building with the UEG logo of wheat ears holding the earth hanging on it and the walls painted light gray.

Local residents walking through the streets are in a hurry, taking public transportation or private vehicles to return to their respective residences.

The shops and shopping malls on both sides of the street have already put down their rolling shutters, and the whole city has fallen into a state of "hurrying home."

Although it seems that the original riots have been subsided, Harvest officials still adopt martial law measures, requiring all residents to abide by the curfew before nightfall and are not allowed to walk around on the streets.

However, three groups of six snipers and observers were hidden on the roof of the high-rise apartment building directly opposite the Governor's Building.

Moreover, the location chosen by these six special operations team investigators can provide a clear view of the Odegat police posts, patrols, and open deployments, as well as covert surveillance of the corridor conditions in the Governor's Office.

As for the east side of the street, it is a residential area of ​​light factories and storage warehouses.

Affected by the riots, most factories have been shut down for many days, and there are only a few security personnel guarding the warehouses.

On the contrary, this provides convenience for people with ulterior motives, such as rebels or Atlas investigators who are still on the dark side.

The police in Odegat also knew this, so they dispatched a special police team to be responsible for patrolling, guarding and other tasks here to compress the rebel movement space as much as possible.

At this time, two special police officers who had completed routine inspections left the warehouse and walked towards the explosion-proof armored vehicles parked on the outer streets, preparing to join their teammates who were also performing inspection tasks.

Just looking at the equipment and weapons of the special police, it seems that they are not as advanced as the New Accra City Police Department in the main universe.

The biggest difference between the two sides is the difference between whether there is an individual soldier's skeleton.

However, the helmet worn also has a face-covering screen to assist the two special police officers in monitoring their own status in real time and obtaining the latest information from the main station.

However, after many days of high-intensity work, the eyes of the two special police officers were covered with red bloodshot eyes and their mental state was somewhat depressed.

"Ugh. Ugh?! Ugh!!"

A special police officer couldn't bear it anymore. He was sleepy and wanted to yawn, but an invisible hand crushed the screen of his helmet and directly covered his newly opened mouth.

He tried to fight his way out of the control, but the other party was so strong that there was nothing he could do.

While struggling, he glanced to his side with his peripheral vision and found that his teammate had fallen unconscious and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the SWAT officer felt a cold needle piercing his neck, and then the endless sleepiness dragged him into the darkness.

If you look down from mid-air, you can see that the SWAT team originally deployed in light factories and warehouse areas fell to the ground and fell asleep almost at the same time, instantly losing their ability to fight and move.

Sitting in explosion-proof armored vehicles, the drivers responsible for responding could not escape the fate of being forced to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the mid-floor offices of the Governor's Building;

There are noise-reducing carpets, several pots of green plants for decoration, and insulated one-way floor-to-ceiling windows facing the east, which provide a perfect view of most of Odegat.

The middle-aged man sitting behind the metal desk, wearing a gray administrative uniform that looked like a military uniform, with a solemn expression, was the governor in charge of all affairs of Harvest Star, Locke Siltai.

Moreover, a "holographic portrait" about twenty centimeters tall and about the size of a thermos cup appeared on the desk, reporting to Locke:

"Governor Sirtai, there has been no movement related to the rebels for 36 hours, and the surveillance cameras throughout the city have not captured any suspicious persons."

The words with a flat voice echoed in the office.

After hearing this, Locke's expression was still extremely serious, and he said as if talking to himself:

"What are they planning? Not long ago, they were inciting riots like crazy, and even preparing to blow up the orbiting space station, but they seemed to suddenly disappear?

Something is wrong. Very wrong. "

Seeing this, the holographic figure emitting a faint red light took the conversation:

"There is about a 63% chance that the rebels will go to the no-man's land and prepare to engage in guerrilla warfare with us. There is about a 27% chance that the rebels are going to take the opportunity to evacuate. There is a 10% chance that they are going to launch an attack on the important facilities in Odegat." A suicidal general attack."

"I know, I know." Locke looked up at the holographic portrait of a young woman:

"The rebels understand better than we do the consequences of continuing to cause trouble, but why do I always feel that this tranquility is a precursor to a heavy rain? What confidence do they have? Is it the rebel fleet?"

"I cannot understand human intuition, but based on the intelligence provided by the UNSC, I am certain that the rebel fleet closest to Harvest is 40 light years away and is closely monitored by the UNSC's Naval Intelligence Agency.

Prison."

The holographic portrait here seemed to be stuck, and its body was twitching unnaturally, and soon collapsed and dissipated.

?

Locke Siltey was stunned at first.

!

But he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

That holographic portrait is a smart artificial intelligence responsible for assisting administrative management, and can monitor Odegat's various developments in real time.

Not long ago, it was "she" who found several secret hideouts of the rebels and allowed the SWAT team to clear them out with low casualties.

However, the artificial intelligence directly disconnected, which was obviously beyond the capabilities of the rebels.

Bang!

Bang!

Just as Locke was trying to deduce the current situation, with the violent noise of two directional blasts, the door of the office was violently demolished.

Then, a shock bomb was thrown into the air by someone, and then——

Boom-boom-!

More intense noises and flashes of light instantly obscured everything.

Om-!

Locke, who immediately held his head to avoid it, lost his vision, hearing and sense of balance, leaving only a "buzzing" tinnitus.

However, the governor, who was once a major in the Marine Corps, still relied on his instinctive reaction and wanted to reach out and take out the pistol in the drawer, preparing to fight the unknown armed men who rushed into his office.

Unfortunately, before Locke could open the drawer, he was captured and controlled by "invisible" armed men.

When the commotion caused by directional blasting and shock bombs subsided, four investigators who had removed their optical camouflage and belonged to the special operations team were seen in the governor's office.

The investigator, who was half kneeling on the ground and holding Locke down with one hand, reported directly on the communication:

"This is Chris Redfield. The target has been successfully captured. Over."
