Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

next.

Ark 002 was authorized by Sui Bian, and after the red queen assisted the expeditionary force to control it, three pseudo wormholes with a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers were immediately generated.

Then the large devices 012, 013, and 014 passed through these three pseudo-wormholes, and instantly arrived at a spiral galaxy that is 420,000 light-years away from Teloko, and parked at three points of this spiral galaxy respectively.

As soon as the transmission was completed, the three large devices detected the movement of the Tyro Zerg, so they directly turned on the cross-phase pulse wave, and with the maximum power, radiated icy white light to the entire galaxy in the blink of an eye.

So far, this spiral galaxy has completely fallen into silence, everything from small microorganisms to the living fleet of Tyro Zerg is annihilated in white light.

If Sui Bian or Magnus put psionic gaze or psionic perception on this galaxy again, they would no longer hear the annoying sound of fingernails scratching the blackboard or metal plates.

At the same time, such a large-scale cross-phase pulse wave has indeed attracted hundreds of thousands of Tailo Zerg in the "nearby", close to a million light-years, to flock to them, adopting alternative gravity technology to travel faster than the speed of light, and the extremely crazy rush To the spiral galaxy.

It seems that Rogge's guess is correct.

The reason why Tyrokr, or the Milky Way, was invaded by the Tyro Zerg was definitely attracted by the cross-phase pulse wave when the large installation 001 cleared the pious star area thirty years ago.

However, before the speculation was confirmed, the expeditionary army led by Rogge, Sanguinius, and Sui Meng had been divided into ten groups. They also used the pseudo-wormhole navigation technology of the Ark to reach the tenth place with the most severe spiritual shielding in an instant. galaxy, try to find the source of the Tyro Zerg.

As for Teloker, which was used as the logistics supply station of the expeditionary force, it is currently undergoing reconstruction work by the Engineering Department. Survivors will either choose to stay in Teloker or be sent to other colonies according to their wishes. The universe begins a new life.

In order to get the survivors back on track as much as possible, Umbrella embezzled a large amount of subsidies for resettlement.

In terms of defense, Teloker has the 17th Battalion of Glory Iron Fist, the 22nd Battalion of Blood Angels, and the fleet of the 12th Battalion of Enforcers.

And the 17th and 12th Battalions are stationed in Ark 002 to ensure that there will be no accidents in the Ark, while the 22nd Battalion stays on the surface of Tylokal.

Because there is the Ark, a weapon capable of exterminating galaxies, there is no need to leave too many battalions for defense.

But the process of searching for the Tyro Zerg seems to be quite slow. After all, when Magnus once again used the psionic magnifying device to scan the entire zero-three universe, he found that nearly 10% of the galaxies had fallen into "darkness".

10%

This shows that the Tylo Zerg devoured hundreds of millions, if not billions, of intelligent races.

Of course, this is just speculation, but the fact that they have swept over 10 billion, nearly 20 billion galaxies that are no less than the size of the Milky Way, is a fact that is directly in front of everyone.

The diameter of the zero-three universe is theoretically similar to that of the main universe, about 100 billion light-years, and this number is still expanding infinitely.

Moreover, whether it is a flat universe with a curvature of "0" or an open universe with a negative curvature, its edge extends infinitely, and the physical body can never touch the edge of the universe.

The spiral, barred, elliptical, and irregular galaxies in Universe 03 total about 180 billion.

However, it was found that 10% of the galaxies fell into "darkness" through psionic scanning, which did not mean that the Tailo Zerg swallowed them and continued to hover in these 10% of the galaxies.

However, Magnus found that after the large installations 012, 013, and 014, the Tylo Zerg launched all-round cross-phase pulse waves, and only attracted the Tylo Zerg from millions of light years to give a signal of "come to eat", The rest of the Tailo Zerg in the universe are basically in a "dormant" state.

To be honest, when Rogge, Sanguinius, and Sui Meng learned that there was no way to count the number of Tailo Zerg units in Universe 03, they were briefly shocked.

Mainly in the minds of the Primarchs, they can't help but imagine what it would be like if the Tailo Zerg in the entire Zero Three Universe invaded the Zero Three Galaxy together.

But after the shock had passed, the Primarchs knew that their imagination was unrealistic.

In addition, the "nearby" Tailo Zerg, because of the simultaneous activation of three large devices, then turned the spearhead originally aimed at the Milky Way, so that the Milky Way has no threat for the time being.

If they let Ark 002 enter the "automatic cruise" mode, shuttle between galaxies in an instant through pseudo-wormholes, devour terrestrial planets and continuously build large devices...

If they apply to their father again to mobilize more completed arks from the main universe, then the large installations will increase exponentially, and it will not take "long time" to clear 10% of the zero-three universe.

What's more, with his father as the biggest backer, after a brief shock, the three Primarchs focused on implementing the core policy of the expedition——

Try to find the source of the Tyro Zerg.

At present, the society is still paying attention to Tyroker, donating funds and supplies has never stopped, and is also paying attention to the progress of Rogge's expedition as the commander.

Regarding the reconstruction of Tyroker, the White Queen has calculated that it will take six to nine years optimistically, and the intelligence department in charge of Zacks Redfield will also assist the Expeditionary Force and the UNSC to completely eliminate the remaining eggs.

But in terms of finding the source, the Red Queen said that she couldn't calculate it, and could only rely on the luck of the three original bodies to touch and "encounter".

Knowing this, Sui Bian almost dispatched John and the Spartan Legion, because compared to luck, no Primarch could match the "Master Chief".

But no matter what, social attention will gradually cool down with the reconstruction of Tyroker.

In the end, there will only be hundreds of millions of military fans left, who will continue to discuss the Tailo Zerg, and when the expeditionary force completes the core goal, which is to thoroughly understand the source of the hive consciousness, it may become the focus of the entire society again .

As a result, the crisis of Teloker and even Zero Three Galaxy has been completely resolved.

However, there is a high-level Umbrella employee who is also a veteran-level employee, but because of Tyroker's leisure and semi-retirement status, he was forced to be pulled to the forefront...

Three Earth days before the expeditionary forces assembled.

Main universe time: January 02, 2210.

Acadian clock: 08:14.

The top floor of the mega-structured apartment in District 01, the residence of the Kennedys…

"what?"

Wearing black pajamas, with messy hair parted in the middle, and stubble on his chin and mouth, he looked like Leon S. Kennedy who had just woken up. Through the holographic screen floating on the table, the white queen was responsible for passing the reading, and After the details of the order issued by Sui Bian himself, the legendary intelligence officer couldn't help but muttered to himself in confusion:

"Temporarily hand over the head of the intelligence department to Ada, and I myself need to go to the zero-three universe?"

Just then, the automatic door of the study opened.

Immediately afterwards, Ada, who was wearing a bright red cheongsam-style pajamas, outlined a near-perfect figure, and had shoulder-length black hair, walked into the study with a cup of steaming coffee in her hand.

Finding that her husband was rarely looking at herself, but staring at the holographic screen worrying, Ada put the coffee on the desk and asked, "What? Is it a direct order from the chairman?"

"Ah... see for yourself."

With a wave of his left hand, Leon turned the holographic screen to Ada, and took a sip of coffee.

After reading the order, Ada supported her left elbow with her right hand, while her left hand pinched her chin lightly. After a moment of contemplation...

"Hehe~." For some reason, she suddenly laughed.

? ?

Seeing his wife have no chance to laugh made Leon even more confused.

And Ada chuckled a few times before explaining: "Husband, this order reminds me of our first cooperation. At that time, didn't you follow the chairman's order to stay in the Middle East to search for ruins?" ?"

"This...it is indeed..." Leon was stunned.

That's right, just as Ada said at the beginning, almost two hundred years ago, after Umbrella dealt with the "Ibris Demon (Mist)" incident, Leon followed Sui Bian's order and stayed in the Middle East for a whole year. year.

He may have forgotten how beautiful the exotic scenery of the Middle East is, but he will never forget the taste of finger chicken rice and white garlic sauce.

At the beginning, I thought it was delicious, with a large portion, a lot of servings, and "great satisfaction", but after eating this kind of food for a year, I almost didn't "grudge to death" Leon.

What's more narrow-minded is to take a taxi...

Looking back on the past and looking at the present, Leon always feels that the chairman has not given up on "targeting" him?

Once faced with the task of searching for unknown relics, the heads of different colonies in the archaeological department would ask him for advice through various channels.

How about now, instead of running around the world this time, let him search for the so-called "unknown relics" in the unfamiliar zero-three galaxy?

How to find it?

Leon just felt clueless, since the order came from his immediate superior, he couldn't refuse it at all.

Seeing her husband's distressed face, Ada also put away her smile, walked slowly behind Leon, made a gesture of hugging her body, and said softly:

"Don't be so sad all the time. It's not good for your health. I'm here with the family and the children. Besides, the chairman also gives you enough authority to let you choose the elite from the company and the army. You can go at ease."

"Well...I see. Fortunately, I have you, Ada."

With some comfort from his wife, Leon finally put away his sorrow, but when his wife continued to speak, Leon trembled all over, and only listened to:

"By the way, my husband, the children stayed in the dormitory yesterday, and now we are the only ones at home~."

"I know I know…"

Leon replied perfunctorily, while stretching out his hands, manipulating the holographic keyboard with substantial touch, and through his own supervisory authority, called up the elite list collected by the Arcadia Intelligence Department, saying:

"But I have to pick out the people who will carry out the mission with me first."

"Okay." Ada, who understood the meaning of her husband's words, immediately let go of her arms. At the end, she didn't forget to poke the top of Leon's head with her fingers, and then walked out of the study room "unfinished".

"call…"

Seeing the automatic door of the study room closed, Leon finally took a deep breath, and after a while, he focused on selecting personnel.

This time, Sui Bian did give him enough authority.

For example, the emergency response team of Arcadia's local intelligence department can be mobilized, and all legions, Astartes and auxiliary troops of all battalion headquarters can be "borrowed", but the number of Astartes and auxiliary troops cannot exceed six More than thirty people.

It seems stingy, but in fact, putting six Astartes and thirty auxiliary troops on some planets with 0.7 to 1.0 civilizations can overturn the original order of these civilizations.

Cooperate with the Arcadia emergency team, even if you encounter the Tyro Zerg, you can come and go freely.

Not long after, he selected six hundred-year-old veterans from the three legions of Sparta, Raven Guard, and Thutmose, and thirty auxiliary troops also belonged to the battalion where these six veterans belonged. department.

It took nearly half an hour to complete the selection, passed the dispatch order to the corresponding battalion headquarters, and informed the three battalion commanders that he was preparing to form a task force. After Leon took a deep breath, turned off the holographic imaging, got up and walked out. Study room, ready to explain some matters to Ada.

but……

For some reason, when Leon walked out of the study, there was always a feeling of "the strong man is gone forever"?

…

"Goo~~Goo~~"

In the scorching sun and daytime, but in the cool and shady jungle, there are unknown birds or the cries of unknown creatures.

"Ah~... ah~..."

At this time, an animal with a body shape and appearance similar to that of an elk, with brown-red hair all over its body, was strolling forward, carefully observing its surroundings.

It seemed that he thought that there was no danger nearby, so he relaxed his vigilance a little and began to eat grass leisurely.

"Roar!!!"

"Rou!!"

A sudden roar, and the void created by the rapid movement of the object, interrupted the feeding of the "elk"...

No, it should be said that an afterimage flashed by, and the elk was broken in two, without even giving it time to react and escape or scream.

"boom!!"

Moreover, the afterimage forcibly tore the elk apart, and the moment it touched the ground behind it, a burst of mud and smoke exploded.

Wait until everything returns to calm.

You can see a huge, muscular "giant bear" with brown hair, gnawing on the elk carcass, and there is a shallow pit behind the giant bear.

It seems that the series of movements just now were made by this giant bear, but the speed and strength that this "giant bear" erupted showed that it was definitely not an earth creature.

After a full meal, it patrolled the territory and took a walk after dinner by the way.

When the giant bear came out of the dense forest and came to its favorite cliff to lie down and want to take a nap, it didn't know that there were several "human" shadows in the forest in the distance.

Pull into view.

The six "human" shadows on this side of the forest are "hunters" wearing dark earth-colored clothes, belts around their waists, daggers, wrist knives and quiveres, and long or short bows on their backs.

Three of the group of "hunters" took out their arrows and set their bows, staring at the sleeping giant bear, and the other three "hunters" bent over and made a detour to the other side to prepare for a pincer attack.

But the arrows of these "hunters" arrows are not metal, but diamond-shaped "stones" emitting faint green light...
