Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Not long after.

A consignment boat belonging to the municipal government arrived at the sky above the street

The consignment boat came directly above the old-fashioned car, aligned it, landed, and successfully adsorbed the car in the gap of the "concave" character.

Then the consignment boat took the old-fashioned car and slowly lifted into the air under the reluctant and complaining eyes of the afro-haired driver.

It took less than an hour from the time the explosive head paid to buy the car on the road, until it was towed away by the municipality.

Due to the fact that my parents do not support buying a car, my own funds are not rich, and other factors.

Exploding head bought this second-hand car with cash from a car dealer who guaranteed that "carbon emissions meet the standards", "complete procedures" and "will definitely be entered into the system".

Since the advent of Umbrella hydrogen engine vehicles, they have gradually replaced traditional vehicles due to their reliable performance and low energy consumption.

At the end of 2019, UGE official data showed that the market share of hydrogen engine vehicles reached 89%.

So on November 1, 2021, UGE promulgated a "Carbon Emissions Law" to prohibit the sale of traditional vehicles that do not meet carbon emissions standards.

The promulgation of the carbon emission law is a matter of course, after all, it is a choice made by the public themselves.

What followed was a sharp drop in the price of traditional vehicles, but for car dealers who saw business opportunities, it ushered in a short "spring".

Now, it is "late spring".

Until today, February 4, 2022, in just three months, through the cooperation and efforts of the police, customs and other departments, the phenomenon of buying and selling has been effectively controlled.

Due to luck, he blindly trusted the car dealer's explosive head, and he had to follow the police back to the police station to make a statement, and then he was punished for dangerous driving.

However, the car dealer who cheated for money entered the police station half an hour earlier than the afro.

After the police flying boat took off, the streets returned to normal, and tourists continued to enjoy the summer at the southernmost tip of Africa.

This extremely modern city is the second-ranked Elizabeth City in Africa, located in Port Elizabeth by the sea, and is also the second largest star port in Africa.

All kinds of engineering ships, mining ships and large cruise ships hovering above the coastline are one of the reasons why Elizabeth City has many tourists.

In the desert plain twenty kilometers northwest of Elizabeth City, there is a UNSC base that can accommodate 30,000 people.

On the airport of the base, there are a large number of dark green painted Pelicans, Dagger bombers and other transport boats and attack aircraft, as well as many small assault boats in the atmosphere.

Looking down at the entire base from the air, in addition to a full range of air vehicles, the ground vehicles are mostly off-road vehicles and light armor, but there are a few Scorpion main battle tanks.

At this moment, in the open space and playground to the east of the base, a large number of soldiers wearing black short-sleeves and desert-colored combat pants are conducting high-intensity training.

On one of the playgrounds, soldiers in groups of five or five were running around the playground carrying a solid log together.

On the three flagpoles in the center of the playground, there are flags of UGE and UNSC, as well as a military flag with an upside-down dagger printed on fire.

The words "UNSC 9th Airborne Division" are also printed around the dagger.

Including ground staff, civilian staff and various personnel, the UNSC Ninth Airborne Division has a total of more than 36,000 people.

However, the actual number of people in the base was around 21,000, most of whom were "recruits" who failed to meet the standards. The other 15,000 were deployed to UNSC naval vessels.

Although they are recruits, their physical fitness and reaction speed far exceed that of ordinary marines or army.

After all, the duty of the airborne troops is to take an airborne pod that can accommodate four people, directly leave the atmosphere of the naval ship, and quickly strike ground targets.

Essentially, the same as Umbrella's ODST Company.

Therefore, the nine airborne divisions under the UNSC are the elite second only to the special command.

An office building in the center of the base.

In an office on the fifth floor.

A gray-haired officer in his early fifties with the rank of colonel on his collar is sitting behind his desk.

As if he didn't like high technology, the colonel read the paper documents to learn about the current situation of the airborne division.

"Shua~—."

At this moment, the sound of the automatic door opening and closing resounded throughout the office.

The colonel, who heard the movement, didn't take his eyes off the opening of the document and said, "Is there anything important, Second Lieutenant."

However, the voice fell for a few seconds, and the "Second Lieutenant" did not reply.

?

The colonel, who sensed that something was wrong, raised his head, but he didn't see the second lieutenant who assisted him with his daily work at all, and he was still alone in the office.

See here.

The colonel frowned vigilantly, and didn't bother to think about personal preferences, so he directly called up the holographic screen on the desk and contacted the second lieutenant.

When the second lieutenant appeared on the screen, the colonel said, "Second lieutenant, let the maintenance personnel come to my office."

"Yes, sir."

Not two minutes after the end of the communication, the automatic door opened again.

But this time, it wasn't as "haunted" as before, but the second lieutenant led two maintenance personnel also wearing military uniforms into the office.

"Check the door of my office," said the Colonel.

"yes."

Two maintenance personnel began to check the automatic door and the terminal installed on the wall, and finally a maintenance personnel reported:

"Colonel, the wiring of the automatic door is indeed a little old. May I ask you to replace it with a new one now?"

"Well, change it."

The colonel nodded in response, and felt ridiculous for making a fuss over the sudden opening and closing of the automatic door just now, and being too nervous.

But in fact, a "ghost" that cannot be observed with the naked eye left the colonel's office by taking advantage of the gap between the second lieutenant and the maintenance personnel to open the automatic door.

If the "ghost" can be outlined, it will only highlight a figure with almost perfect proportions, and she is the first batch of ghost agents taught by Sui Bian himself——

Nova.

The purpose of her coming here is to assist the Red Queen to thoroughly grasp the detailed information of all officers at the rank of lieutenant and above in the newly established 7th Airborne Division of the UNSC.

For example, whether the mood is irritable, whether the behavior is cautious and so on.

The Red Queen can use big data for analysis, but on-the-spot investigations confirmed that ghost agents with psionic perception like Nova are still needed.

After obtaining accurate information, once the abnormal event is detected near the place where the incident occurred, there are combat personnel from the Ninth Airborne Division...

Then the Red Queen can rely on the character of each officer and give them different instructions to assist Umbrella in handling the incident more efficiently.

For Nova, who possesses extremely strong psychic power, this kind of investigation task is equivalent to relaxation and recreation.

She came to the central hall on the fifth floor and used the walking stairs to prepare to leave the office building.

"Beep! Beep!"

"Attention everyone! Elizabeth City is under attack!"

But suddenly, the entire base sounded the alarm and broadcast reminders, but Nova was no longer in a leisurely mood.
