Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

The blond boy ran extremely fast.

Like an afterimage, galloping in this metal corridor.

And there are many researchers in white coats on the way, as if they are used to it, they are not too surprised by the "afterimage", they still go forward on their own, or read the holographic tablet in their hands.

soon.

The boy came to the bedroom at the end of the corridor...

It is said to be a bedroom, but the interior space is very spacious. The first thing that catches the eye is a living room with holographic floor-to-ceiling windows, and the outside of the window simulates the sea, the beach and the clear noon.

The blond boy walked into it at a slower speed, and then opened a metal gate on the right. When he was about to move on, he heard "Ding! Ding!", a rhythmic forging sound.

The room that the blond boy just walked into had a complete set of blacksmith equipment, such as furnaces, ovens, iron piers, etc., and the weapon racks on both sides were full of various cold weapons.

The source of the forging sound is located in the center of the blacksmith's room. It is also a boy with a physique of more than two meters, or even close to three meters, with stronger muscles and darker skin. A piece of the iron pier was burning red.

Young but strong, dark skin, fond of forging weapons, and other characteristics point to this boy holding a sledgehammer, it is Umbrella's third-generation Primarch——

Vaukan.

The handsome blond boy who called Vulkan his elder brother, who was almost the twin brother of Sanguinius, was another third-generation Primarch, Anakin.

to this day.

Vokan is no longer the three-year-old child who was one meter tall, but a thirteen-year-old "teenager".

Anakin has also changed from a toddler who needed to be placed in a petri dish and relied on nutrient solution to survive, to a ten-year-old boy who is curious about everything.

The specific date of "today" is April 14, 2227.

It has been a full ten years since the Human Empire defeated the First Empire by relying on the Emperor alone and Artemis, as well as some of the Imperial Army and the Gray Knights, and took half of the galaxy in the 101 universe as its territory.

During this period, the territory of the human empire continued to expand steadily in the main universe and the multiverse.

And the different space gradually began to fall into chaos as expected. After all, the cursed legion on Heroic Island has already begun to actively attack Slaanesh and the Great Demon Domain that believes in Slaanesh.

The other evil gods who don't know why, naturally won't get involved in this muddy water, choose to stay away from Slaanesh, and don't want to provoke the curse that is several times, or even dozens of times stronger than the Astartes in the physical universe Legion.

There is no way, most of the members of the Cursed Legion are "heroes", and they finally fell asleep due to various reasons. However, under the protection of the emperor's spiritual power, they obtained "immortal life" in a different space, and their combat power is naturally far away. Super ordinary demon.

But the cursed legion alone is not enough to cause the different space to fall into chaos. The truly crucial turning point is that some Khorne demons have begun to treat some low- and middle-level demons who like extreme indulgence, enjoyment, and killing without chance. It is an active attack.

Although killing and devouring each other between demons and demons is a very common phenomenon in different spaces, but it happened at the time when the cursed legion attacked...

This led to more high-level demons who didn't know why, and began to set their sights on Slaanesh and Slaanesh, hoping to get a share of it.

It can be said that the chaos in the different space at this moment is intensifying, and even part of the physical universe is beginning to be implicated.

However, for the human empire that has been prepared for a long time, whenever a space storm breaks out in any star area or space domain, the imperial fleet and legion battalion will rush there immediately, followed by the Gray Knights and the Supervision Department.

Of course, these are not within the scope of Anakin and Vulcan's considerations. The two of them are only vaguely aware of the restlessness in the different space, and they have no way of knowing how.

The two of them spent most of these years in the Luna base, receiving the teachings of their father, Rebecca, Alexia and others, and became elites far beyond ordinary people.

They also went to New Krypton with their father, the Red Queen and the White Queen, and even participated in a resistance war to overthrow the theocratic government, and entered the history of New Krypton with their bravery...

But the New Kryptonians don't know that Vulcan and Anakin are the blood descendants of their creator. After all, who would have thought that two ten-year-old children could grow to a height of nearly two meters?

The new Kryptonians who participated in that battle at most regarded Vulkan and Anakin as young heroes, and did not think about the blood descendants of the Creator.

For the two nascent Primarchs, going to New Krypton is more like an "outing" and it is also the longest journey they have traveled.

Up to now, the two of them have never been out of the solar system, let alone the main universe.

However, not long ago, when Anakin was admiring the view of the starry sky in the central hall of the Luna base, the holographic projection of the White Queen appeared beside him, and told his father to order him and Vulcan to prepare first, and then arrange to go to the zero three universe.

Although the White Queen didn't say the specific purpose, what to do in the Zero Three universe, Anakin was already very excited.

Because it is finally possible to leave the solar system!

So he rushed back to the dormitory like flying, and quickly passed the news to his elder brother Vulcan.

"..."

After listening to Anakin's description, Vulkan didn't reply in a hurry, but he also stopped the forging action, and put the giant hammer on the side of the iron pier, then picked up the iron tongs to pick up the red hot metal, and put it into the metal water beside it. in the cylinder.

There was a sound of "嗞!!!".

The mist rose immediately.

The water tank was boiling.

After waiting for a while, Vaukan used iron tongs to take out the flaked and cooled metal from the water tank, put it back on the iron pier, and squatted down to observe carefully.

"Brother!" Seeing that Vulcan was unhurried and still focused on forging, Anakin hurried to the opposite of Vulcan, "We can finally leave the solar system!"

"So?" Volkan looked up at his irritable and impatient younger brother, and then continued to observe the half-forged metal.

"So?" Anakin was taken aback.

yes…

Only then did Anakin realize that his father hadn't sent the arrangement yet, and he didn't know what to do, so there was really no need to worry about it now.

Sensing that his brother's mood was gradually calming down, Vaukan smiled slightly, and no longer intentionally straightened his waist, picked up the orange-red bath towel that was clearly a bath towel, but to him it was a towel, and wiped the sweat on his forehead , turned around and walked towards the living room, and told Anakin who was following him:

"Brother, I told you a few years ago that you are strong and have great potential, but you are too edgy to deal with things.

Now that you are still young, the consequences of all parties are not obvious, but if you still cannot correct this problem when you become an adult and become a Legion Primarch, then you will suffer a big loss sooner or later, understand? "

"Ah... ah... got it." Anakin nodded perfunctorily.

The two grew up together, Anakin naturally knew Vulkan's kindness, and also knew that this was his brother's concern, but Anakin always felt that his brother was too nagging.

next.

Since Queen Bai didn't make it clear about this trip to the Zero Three universe, the two went to their respective bedrooms first, and simply packed their luggage.

Vulkan only took a few changes of clothes, and stuffed the forged weapons into the equipment box customized for the two of them at Luna Base.

Anakin was the opposite of his elder brother. He took a lot of bright clothes, but only a "light saber" gifted to him by his father as a weapon.

When the two brothers packed up and carried the box to the living room, it happened that a holographic communication reminder came.

Seeing this, Anakin couldn't wait, and immediately clicked the "Agree" button on the holographic screen.

Immediately afterwards, the living room released many brilliant blue light spots, then hovered and condensed, and finally formed a holographic image with a solid texture.

As for the person who initiated the holographic communication, it was Sui Bian who was wearing a black suit and a red cloak that would never change for thousands of years, with his hands behind his back.

"Father."

Facing Sui Bian, Volkan and Anakin immediately restrained their playful mentality, and kept standing upright.

"Um."

Sui Bian also nodded lightly in response, glanced at the two sons, and saw the equipment boxes that had been placed behind the sons, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling:

"You just want to travel and play?"

"Fortunately... It's actually pretty good to be at Luna Base, especially with the teachings of Dr. Chambos." Anakin didn't seem to yearn for the outside world as much as before, but it was obviously duplicity.

Vulcan remained silent.

See here.

"Because I have to deal with things in different spaces these years, I have less time with you two." Sui Bian said apologetically, "And you are both grown up now, so I am going to let you two go to Zero Three alone. The pilot star area of ​​the universe.

The specific planetary coordinates, I will let Queen Bai upload them to your mailbox later, anyway, just arrive before the 24th, take advantage of this time, and take a good look at the territory of the empire. "

Heading to the Flying Commander sector of Universe Zero Three alone?

this…

Volkan and Anakin couldn't react for a while.

But soon, Anakin showed confusion: "Father...you mean, as long as we arrive at the designated place in ten days, we can go wherever we want before then?"

"Yes, literally." Sui Bian didn't deny it, and then he added:

"But don't forget, before the 24th, you can relax as much as you want, but after the 24th, you will accompany the White Shark Battalion, which arrived first, to help Leon Kennedy and Laura Crawford's grave visit task force.

At that time, you will have to participate in military operations in advance, and it will no longer be a small uprising or overthrowing the theocratic dictatorship.

By the way, one last reminder, although you are my heirs, it doesn't mean that you have privileges far beyond those of the residents of the empire, understand? "

Saying that, Sui Bian also deliberately set his eyes on Anakin.

Knowing a son is like a father.

It is true that Anakin is smart, but sometimes he tends to show off his mentality. Although he and Vaukan have been patiently guiding him, Sui Bian thinks that sometimes it is better to put some words on the bright side.

"Yes, father." The two primarchs responded in unison.

"Well, the two of you can start at any time, but I suggest you go to the Raccoon City Starport, after all, it is the first and largest ground starport in the Empire.

Well, I won't say anything superfluous. As for what to be careful about, you two know for yourself. In the end... have fun. "

After finishing speaking, Sui Bian ended the holographic communication first, restoring the living room of the two Primarchs to its original state.

Take it easy.

"Brother, are we "free"?" Anakin still couldn't believe it.

"It depends on how you define freedom." Vulkan answered irrelevantly, then turned and walked outside the dormitory, "Let's go to Raccoon City first."

"Okay." Anakin didn't make sense.

after.

The two left the dormitory where they had lived together for nearly ten years, and walked through the metal corridors patrolled by many researchers, as well as Imperial soldiers and Glory Iron Fists.

As for the equipment box filled with luggage and even weapons, the suspension device is deployed according to the established procedures, automatically following the two people forward, and will also dodge and speed up according to the road conditions.

Of course, this kind of technology is not limited to the upper echelons of the empire, on the contrary, it is very popular throughout the entire empire society, and can be regarded as one of the most "cheap" products.

Not long.

The two came to the central hall of the Luna base.

Compared with two hundred years ago, the changes here are not too big. There are still artificial lakes, artificial grasslands, woods, and even birds can be vaguely seen in the woods. This also means that the melodious cry is not the voice play.

The most obvious change should be the holographic floor-to-ceiling windows placed on the edge, which are more real than two hundred years ago. The scenery presented gives people a sense of impact that is realistic and standing on the back of the moon.

In addition, the original metal gas valve is also replaced by a particle gas valve (like a light curtain), making the space more open.

The two continued to walk.

Take the rail train dedicated to Astartes and go to the station where the teleportation elevator is located.

When they came to this side, the two Primarchs had just stepped out of the rail train, and they encountered several battalion veterans equipped with iron-riding Terminator, helmets with olive branch decorations, and red cloaks behind them.

These battalion veterans did not stop the routine inspection because Vulkan and Anakin were the original body. Instead, they used armor scans to ensure that everything on their bodies and equipment boxes was normal before they were allowed to pass.

Because this site allows personnel to travel directly between Raccoon City and Luna Base, it has to be treated with a higher standard of security.

In the center of the station, which is similar to a small waiting hall, there are several giant glass tubular "matrixes".

Volkan and Anakin walked into one of them with the equipment box, and then they saw blue light spots similar to holographic devices floating around them.

But the next moment, the blue light intensified, and seemed to fill the entire field of vision of the two of them.

call out! !

Accompanied by a silent setback, the light dissipated instantly.

The scene outside the glass tube is "switched" from the previous site to the high-rise lobby of the Umbrella Building.
