Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

noon.

The blue sky was cloudless, and the sun was shining brightly on the earth.

Turkey-Syria border.

In Turkey, a convoy of three desert-colored military Humvees drove from west to east on the road numbered D-52.

Although Turkey, which joined NATO in 1952, is biased toward Western Europe in terms of politics and economy, it is definitely a proper Middle Eastern country in terms of geographical location, climate, environment, history and culture.

At this time, in the Hummer in the center of the convoy.

The man who controls the vehicle is holding the steering wheel with his right hand and resting on the window with his left hand, a US Marine wearing desert camouflage.

Sitting in the co-pilot was a dark brown fur-collared jacket, black combat pants, and Leon with parted blonde hair.

Leon clenched his right hand into a fist and lowered his right jaw, leaning his right elbow on the car door, looking out the window with a slightly melancholy gaze.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the unique desert scenery didn't seem to make this Umbrella intelligence agent happy.

In fact, Lyon spent at least nine months in the Middle East.

I can't say I hate it, but Leon really has seen enough of the desert.

Moreover, he was tired of eating Middle Eastern delicacies such as chicken and mutton burritos, and he was really not in a good mood.

But the superior ordered him to stay in the Middle East and continue to investigate any suspicious cities and ruins.

After all, the Shekhba dense fog incident in February at the beginning of the year caused tens of thousands of deaths.

In order to avoid encountering the same incident again, the company needs to thoroughly search the Middle East, discover and control relics or cultural relics that may cause abnormal phenomena in advance.

If it's just these words, Leon can understand, let alone complain.

The root cause of his melancholy was that he felt as if he had been favored by others, so he finally no longer had to pay for a taxi and enjoy free transportation services.

Think of these.

Leon raised his head slightly and used the rearview mirror to observe the people sitting in the back seat.

The person had short black female hair, sunglasses, a red slim jacket, and black tight leather pants.

Because of the sunglasses, Leon couldn't see the opponent's face clearly, but judging from the face that was not covered by the sunglasses, the opponent's appearance should not be too bad.

Ada Wang.

The company's top intelligence officer.

On December 19, 2000, that is, early this morning, he arrived at the Kahraman base of the United States in Turkey.

Leon happened to be investigating in Turkey, so his superior ordered him to go to the Kahraman base to assist Ada in carrying out the mission.

According to the information given to him by his superiors, the company arranged for Ada to be a Chinese-American historian, and he was also a top talent who had cooperated with the US military.

So when Leon took a taxi to the Kahraman base, he happened to see Ada surrounded by officers.

Due to Ada's prominent status, the base specially dispatched a squad of marines to escort them, and along the way they rushed to the destination with Leon's.

Even though he didn't have to pay for a taxi, Leon always felt like he was being targeted by the company.

"Heh~."

At this time, Ada, who was sitting in the back seat, chuckled, indicating that she had noticed Leon's little move.

"..."

Leon turned his head without changing his expression, looked away from the rearview mirror, and looked at the scenery outside the window again.

Sudden!

"Hey!" Hummer veered uncontrollably to the right.

"Worzefa!" The Marine Corps yelled, and immediately clenched the steering wheel with both hands.

! (x2)

The sudden loss of control of the Hummer made Leon and Ada nervous.

"Huh~! How dangerous!"

Fortunately, the Marine Corps had good driving skills and successfully stabilized the car on the open circuit, but he still couldn't help sighing.

This Hummer is the mascot of their class. It has gone through several thrilling street battles and encounters, but it is still strong and unharmed.

Why did something happen today?

The marine was a little puzzled.

There were some minor accidents, but it was harmless. The convoy continued to drive eastward for more than ten minutes, and finally arrived at the destination——

Göbekli Tepe.

Stonehenge is located on top of Göbekli Tepe.

After driving through the path to the top of the hill, we saw a large shed built in the center for shading.

There are a large number of tents of different styles, several simple houses and various civilian vehicles beside the shed.

It appears that there is a scientific team stationed here.

The US military convoy drove straight to the shed not far away.

Come to a stop.

get off.

A corporal walked up to Ada and respectfully said: "Miss Wang, if there is nothing else, we will return to the base first."

"Well, thank you." Ada said flatly.

The Marines who received a signal from Ada drove back.

As soon as the convoy left, an old man in a vest and thick glasses approached Leon and Ada quickly.

Walking in front of him, the old man stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "Quell Sears, it's an honor to meet you, Miss Wang."

While reaching out to shake hands with Sears, Ada showed a very natural smile and said, "It should be my honor, Professor Sears."

"You're too polite. If it weren't for Ms. Wang's investment support, our progress would not be so fast. Please follow me."

Sears withdrew his right hand, turned around and walked quickly towards the entrance of the shed, and said excitedly:

"Miss Wang, we are all waiting for you to come and witness the greatest discovery in the early 21st century!"

"Let's go, rookie." Ada immediately retracted her previous smile, and reminded Leon coldly.

"I'm not...forget it!"

Just as Leon was about to explain, he saw that Ada had already walked away, so he swallowed back his unhappiness and trotted after Ada and Sears.

Soon, a group of people walked into the shed.

The previous old man, Quell Sears, is a professor of history at Oxford University and one of the leading figures in the archaeological world.

Sears led an archaeological team composed of his own students and found the ruins in September 1999 based on clues.

The archaeological team gained a lot from the excavation in the early stage.

Several "T" shaped stone pillars located on the surface are engraved with various animal reliefs. To the surprise of the Sears team, after testing, these carvings have a history of at least 10,000 years.

Ten thousand years!

Human beings were still in the Stone Age at that time, so how did they transport huge boulders weighing tens of tons from tens of kilometers to the top of the hill?

And this is only the surface layer, all evidence shows that there seems to be a larger space below.

If we can continue to dig, it will definitely subvert human cognition of history.

It's a pity that the archaeological team's funds are not rich, and the border between Turkey and Syria is very chaotic, and small and medium-scale battles occur from time to time.

So few capitalists are willing to take high risks to invest in a project that can only enrich history.

But Umbrella is an exception.

The White Queen, who also monitored the world like the Red Queen, reported the matter to Sui Bian.

After receiving Sui Bian's permission, Queen Bai immediately took action. She gave Ada a rich historian status, and then used Ada's status to invest in the Sears team.

The Red Queen also pretended to be Washington and issued an order to the Kahraman base, asking the Marine Corps to expand the patrol area and ensure the normal excavation of Göbekli Tepe.

This is why Sears, as a leading figure in the archaeological world, is grateful to Ada.
